"Nothing in my life goes untouched by my husband’s calling." Christine Hoover’s words in the first chapter describe so well the life of a church planter’s wife, which is enormously difficult yet extraordinarily rewarding. To be married to a church planter is a calling of its own with a richness of its own. In The Church Planting Wife, Hoover explores and encourages the hearts of her readers while teaching what it means to have heart prepared for this unique ministry. She knows the challenges: A church planter's wife must develop a job description, be a wise helper to her husband, develop friendships within the church and community, deal with stress and discouragement, handle wounds, and more. Christine speaks candidly about these challenges while urging readers to grow a heart that wholly reflects Jesus. Spread throughout these pages are stories and interviews from church planting wives. Christine Hoover empathetically and pointedly builds from these testimonies to uplift the reader and offer lessons of hope in the midst of a challenging ministry.

While captivating his readers with a precise, yet creative command of the English language, David Joel Nirenstein showcases his great love for metaphysics and philosophical ideology in “Wisdom of a Waif ”. David Joel Nirenstein’s “Wisdom of a Waif ” is not merely an eclectic collection of metaphysical poetry. To read “Wisdom of a Waif ” is to experience this author’s life-force, which breathes within. “I have undertaken the task of writing a book for one reason only: to put down my thoughts while I am able...I’m not taking any chances of leaving this thrilling world with a brain full of dead thoughts. I should like to be rather empty of all my prized ideas. “For thoughts should be considered eternal, whether or not one considers them to have any sort of life. Hence, I wouldn’t want to deprive them of the chance for immortality…” David Joel Nirenstein

Lisa Niemi and Patrick Swayze first met as teenagers at his mother's dance studio. He was older and just a bit cocky; she was the gorgeous waif who refused to worship the ground he walked on. It didn't take long for them to fall in love. Their thirty-four year marriage -- which they explored together in The Time of My Life -- was a uniquely passionate partnership. Now, for the first time, Lisa will share what it was like to care for her husband as he battled Stage IV pancreatic cancer, and will describe his last days when she simply tried to keep him comfortable. She writes searingly about her grief in the aftermath of Patrick's death, and candidly discusses the challenges that the past fourteen months without him have posed. But while this is an emotionally honest and unflinching depiction of illness, death, and loss, it is also a hopeful and life-affirming exploration of the power of the human spirit. Lisa shows that no matter how dark the prospect of another day may seem, there are always reserves of strength to call upon, and the love shared between two people will never truly die.
