The author, Gary Garner, a confident, designer/building contractor of luxury homes becomes overwhelmed by the unprecedented mortgage/ housing crisis of the mid 1970's. Mired in darkness, shackled with debt, depressed and suicidal, with no faith and seemingly no place to turn for help, the Holy Spirit orchestrated an almost unbelievable awakening that would set his family on a most incredible journey- and which launched him on a lifetime evangelical mission. Swept Up by the Spirit, Journey of Transformation is an account of this journey, relating many of the ways Jesus and the Holy Spirit supernaturally entered into his daily life and the lives of family members and others, intercepted, redirected and empowered them. The book recounts actual events, many in workplace settings, described just as they happened, telling of a radical transition from worldly choices and near devastation to the Glory of God's kingdom and the pursuit of His will. The book is filled with that most wonderful discovery of the Holy Spirit's presence and redemptive involvement in everyday life, often at the least expected times and places. Does the Holy Spirit still act powerfully in events and lives of ordinary people- in the very moment. ? Just like Acts of the Apostles! Join us on this journey and allow the Holy Spirit to lift you to new heights that may astound you.

Mother's Day weekend felt enchanted and seemingly perfect until, suddenly and without warning, it instantly turned tragic. In a flash, thick darkness replaced bright sunshine. The sky opened, furiously unleashing torrential rain and hail in what some call the "storm of a century." The downpour triggered a flash flood that swept away and shattered the life that the Graff family once knew. What came after is a heartbreakingly beautiful journey of grief and acceptance. Becky courageously shares the powerful story of the first year after a loss. It is an honest and deeply personal look inside the turmoil and triumph that comes from attempting to rebuild a life torn apart.

From two-time Newbery Honor and New York Times–bestselling author Kevin Henkes, this timeless novel about loss, loneliness, and friendship tells the story of the spring break that changes seventh-grader Amelia Albright’s life forever. Amelia Albright dreams about going to Florida for spring break like everyone else in her class, but her father—a cranky and stubborn English professor—has decided Florida is too much adventure. Now Amelia is stuck at home with him and her babysitter, the beloved Mrs. O’Brien. The week ahead promises to be boring, until Amelia meets Casey at her neighborhood art studio. Amelia has never been friends with a boy before, and the experience is both fraught and thrilling. When Casey claims to see the spirit of Amelia’s mother (who died ten years before), the pair embarks on an altogether different journey in their attempt to find her. Using crisp, lyrical, literary writing and moments of humor and truth, award-winning author Kevin Henkes deftly captures how it feels to be almost thirteen. With themes of family, death, grief, creativity, and loyalty, Sweeping Up the Heart is for readers of Kate DiCamillo, Rebecca Stead, Lauren Wolk, Kimberly Brubaker Bradley, and Pam Muñoz Ryan.
