Ponder: v.; to weigh in the mind, think about, reflect upon. Sandi rises early to watch the sunrise with her Lord almost every morning. Is there a better way to start a day than by pondering in the intimacy of each morning's new light on a deck with an open view of the Sierra Nevada Mountains--Bible and coffee in hand? Often during these conversations with God, a word or phrase is given to her that she then prayerfully considers. In this devotional, Sandi shares her sunrise ponderings; these short pieces are neither guided prayers nor a devotional but an invitation to an examined life in conversation with the God who loves you. They are honest, humorous, and thought-provoking.

Two friends, Jens and Gary, both Dutch, travel in 1992 to California for a sports training camp and are involved in a devastating plane crash. They barely survive; out of the twenty-two people on board sixteen are killed, including two of their Dutch team mates. A young Dutch woman, who unknowingly belongs to a subculture guided by underground powers, is indirectly involved in the accident. Back home she tries to find the Dutch survivors. Jens and Gary experience the most difficult period of their life; having to deal with the grief of losing their friends and recovering from severe injuries. In the period after the accident, their lives start changing. They are caught up in events they never thought possible. Jens and Gary meet occasionally. In intense discussions they discover that not all is what it seems. Twelve years after the accident, several striking signs draw Jens' attention. "Too many to be just coincidental", he decides. "Is someone trying to tell me something? Does Gary have a point after all?", he wonders. In 2012, a remembrance day is organized at the crash site. Back in California Jens meets a presumed lost friend. This event explains to him why things have happened, and why certain people have played a part in his life. He is shocked by what he hears about mysterious tribes and clans who guide and influence us earthly inhabitants. It all unfolds in a thrilling vision on the origin of mankind, the society and our greatest threat. BY SHEER ACCIDENT is based on many true events experienced by the writers themselves.

In Living Stories Donald Capps makes a forceful case for the importance of pastoral counseling in the life of a congregation. Arguing convincingly for a "paradigmatic revolution," Capps offers a radically new model that gives systematic and constructive attention to the way people actually "story" their lives - inspirationally, paradoxically, or miraculously. Through such engagement, pastors can help people discover their own stories, discern the shape and direction of those stories, and move constructively to find new understandings or more hopeful possibilities in their life situations.
