In today's difficult time when we seem to be losing everything, have we lost God too? A sunrise...Are thoughts from yesterday bringing you down? A daffodil growing among rocks... Are obstacles blocking your way? A boulder tumbling out of control... Are you teetering on the edge? A cloudy sky... Are you lost in the shadows of others? A stagnant lake... Are you drowning in boredom? All around us nature is not only mirroring our lives; it is there to offer us its gifts: comfort, encouragement, strength, and wisdom. There is no cost, we only need to open our eyes and accept life's greatest gift; nature. Vickie Fisher lives on a nineteen acre farm in Westminster, MD. It was on this farm she was inspired to write this book. She enjoys spending time with her children and grandchildren, whom she believes are God's greatest gift. Vickie Fisher's HELLO GOD ARE YOU THERE? is page after page of inspiring words and photographs showing us how God uses nature to speak to us. A genuine treat for the eyes! (Best-selling author Loree Lough, author of nearly 100 award-winning books, including reader favorite A MAN OF HONOR.) The photographs and inspiring words of Vickie Fisher's HELLO GOD, ARE YOU THERE? filled my heart with joy and reminded me to look for the blessing of each day.

Set against the wild beauty of Montana as a woman attempts to heal from a devastating accident, this generational saga from the award-winning author of The Widow Nash is a heartfelt examination of how the deep bonds of family echo throughout our lives. For Polly, the small town of Livingston, Montana, is a land charmed by raw, natural beauty and a close network of family that extends back generations. But the summer of 2002 finds Polly at a crossroads: a recent head injury has scattered her perception of the present, bringing to the surface long-forgotten events. As Polly's many relatives arrive for a family reunion during the Fourth of July holiday, a beloved friend goes missing on the Yellowstone River. Search parties comb the river as carefully as Polly combs her mind, and over the course of one fateful week, Polly arrives at a deeper understanding of herself and her larger-than-life relatives. Weaving together the past and the present, from the shores of Long Island Sound to the landscape of Montana, The Center of Everything examines with profound insight the memories and touchstones that make up a life and what we must endure along the way.
In a time of much uncertainty in today's world, getting to know God is something a person will never regret. God is not only all powerful, but he is eternally good; he is not just strong and mighty but is tender as a mother with a babe at her breast. God is not just majestic, but delightful. Prayer enables every individual to experience God personally. Hello, God. It's Me. is a gentle journey into prayer. Since prayer is the mechanism whereby we can maintain a constant, open connection to God, it is vital to develop a daily habit of both talking to God and listening for his voice. The voice of God leads, guides, comforts, instructs, and tenderly convicts his children. There is nothing quite like it in all the world. Much about prayer can be learned from the pages of Scripture as Christine invites the inquirer to investigate and apply. Learning to spend a little set-apart time each day in prayer is both life-giving and life changing and sets the stage for an ongoing dialogue for all one's waking hours. Want to learn to pray? This is your little book. Want to develop a discipline for prayer? This is your little guide. Want to get to know God more? Read, think, write, pray, and grow. Want to give the gift of prayer? Gift this little jewel. Hello, God. It's Me. is simple, but deep; sweet, but profound; down-to-earth, but will connect the reader to the divine.
John Roedel is a comic, husband and father of three boys based in Wyoming who began talking with "God" in 2015 on Facebook about his ongoing faith crisis. What began as a flippant way of making light of his doubts in the Divine turned into something he wasn't at all prepared for: God wrote back. Since creating the popular "Hey God. Hey John." blog on Facebook three years ago, John has tackled such topics as his journey to mental health wellness, his lack of faith, the joy and pain of raising a child with autism, and grief, all in the form of a simple conversation with God.
