One Perfect WordDebbie Macomber, Author
Book Description
Award-winning, perennial bestselling novelist Debbie Macomber applies the best of
her fiction writing skills to true stories that illustrate the profound impact focusing on a
single wordsuch as balance, surrender, or believefor a whole year can bring.
In One Perfect Word, Debbie encourages readers with stories of her changed life
when she took the time to intentionally focus on a single word for a whole year.
Debbie shows readers how choosing a word to focusand acton changed not onlyDebbie, but those around her. In the tradition of One Simple Act and Gods Guest
List, Debbie tells inspiring stories of how living just one word can change someones
world. In a world where too many meaningless words overwhelm us, the simplicity of
one perfect word becomes profound. Words like surrender, believe, and purpose
took on new meaning for Debbie when she tried to live them out.
Read how Debbie discovered that the word she chose often foreshadowed the crisis
she would face in a particular year. For example, the year she chose the word
balance, her career moved to a whole new level. The pressures on Debbie to be
speaking, promoting, and practically living on the road were overwhelming. It was her
yearlong focus on that all-too-difficult word balance, and a plea from a lonely
granddaughter, that helped her refine her schedule. Readers will be encouraged to
find their word for themselves, and see how one perfect word can make all the
difference.

Diary of a PlayerHow My Musical Heroes Made a Guitar Man Out of Me
Brad Paisley, Author
David Wild, with
Book Description
This book is the very personal story of how Brad Paisley came of age as a musician
and a man. Focusing on what it means to play the guitar and how he found his voice
through a series of guitars, the book will also share what he has learned about life
along the way. Beginning with his own very personal love letter to the guitar and whatthe instrument has meant in his life as a way to find his voice in the world, the book
then moves into a musical, but personal, diary. Brad tells the story of his own musical
passion, while writing loving salutes and sharing memorable tales about all the great
players in country, blues, and rock & roll who have inspired him over the years.
As he wrote in liner notes of his instrumental guitar album, Play, his first guitar was a
gift from his grandpa when Brad was only eight. Brad quickly learned that no matter
how he changed and evolved, the guitar was his only real constant. When life gets
intense, he says, there are some people who drink, who seek counseling, eat, or
watch TV, cry, sleep, and so on. I play.
Included in the book will be sidebars from a wide array of musical stars who know and
love Brad. In these sidebars, this host of guitar and musical gods will share their take
on Brad or stories of their favorite memories about him.
Author Bio
Brad Paisley was given his first Sears Danelectro guitar by his grandfather when he
was only eight years old. This guitar changed the whole direction of his life. By the
age of twelve, Brad had already written his first song, Born on Christmas Day. At

major country stars such as The Judds, Ricky Skaggs, and even George Jones at the
Capital Music Hall in Wheeling, West Virginia. Today, Brad is an acclaimed music
superstar artist still in his thirties and the very blessed husband to the lovely and
talented actress Kimberly Williams Paisley (whom Brad fell for the moment he saw
her onscreen in Father of the Bride), as well as the father of two beautiful sons, Huck
and Jasper.

Kisses from KatieKatie J. Davis, Author
Beth Clark, with
When you think of what one young woman can accomplish by simply being open to
Gods call no matter the cost, you begin to ask questions like, am I really open to
Gods will for my life? Through Katies life, were reminded how God can use ordinary
people to do extraordinary things for Him. We simply need to be willing to be used."
Rich Stearns, President of World Vision US, Author ofThe Hole in Our Gospel
Book Description
What would cause an eighteen-year-old old senior class president and homecoming
queen from Nashville, Tennessee, to disobey and disappoint her parents by forgoing
college, break her little brothers heart, lose all but a handful of her friends (because
the rest of them think she has gone off the deep end), and break up with the love of
her life, all so she could move to Uganda, where she knew only one person but didnt
know any of the language? A passion to make a difference. Katie Davis left over
Christmas break her senior year for a short mission trip to Uganda and her life was
turned completely inside out. She found herself so moved, so broken by the people
and the children of Uganda that she knew her calling was to return and care for
them. Her story is like Mother Teresas in that she has given up everythingat such a
young ageto care for the less fortunate of this world. Katie, a charismatic and
articulate young woman, has gone on to adopt14 children during her time in Uganda,
and she completely trusts God for daily provision for her and her family, which
includes children with special needs.
To further her reach into the needs of Ugandans, Katie established Amazima
Ministries. The ministry matches orphaned children with sponors worldwide. Each
sponsor's $300/year provides schooling, school supplies, three hot meals a
day, minor medical care, and spiritual encouragement. Katie expected to have forty
children in the program; she had signed up 150 by January 2008; today it sponsors
over 400. Another aspect of the ministry is a feeding program created for the
displaced Karamojong peopleUganda's poorest citizens. The program feeds lunch
to over 1200 children Monday-Friday and sends them home with a plate for food; it
also offers basic medical care, Bible study, and general health training.
Katie Davis, now 21, is more than fascinating, she's inspiring, as she has
wholeheartedly answered the call to serve.

An Invisible ThreadThe True Story of an 11-Year-Old Panhandler, a Busy Sales Executive, and an
Unlikely Meeting with Destiny
Laura L Schroff, Author
Alex Tresniowski, Author
Book Description
Excuse me lady, do you have any spare change? I am hungry.
When I heard him, I didnt really hear him. His words were part of the clatter, like a carhorn or someone yelling for a cab. They were, you could say, just noisethe kind of
nuisance New Yorkers learn to tune out. So I walked right by him, as if he wasnt
there.
But then, just a few yards past him, I stopped.
And thenand Im still not sure why I did this I came back.
When Laura Schroff first met Maurice on a New York City street corner, she had no
idea that she was standing on the brink of an incredible and unlikely friendship that
would inevitably change both their lives. As one lunch at McDonald's with Maurice
turns into two, then into a weekly occurrence that is fast growing into an inexplicable
connection, Laura learns heart-wrenching details about Maurices horrific childhood.
The boy is stuck in something like hell. He is six years old and covered in small red
bites from chinchesbed bugsand he is woefully skinny due to an unchecked case
of ringworm. He is so hungry his stomach hurts, but then he is used to being hungry:
when he was two years old the pangs got so bad he rooted through the trash and ate
rat droppings. He had to have his stomach pumped. He is staying in his fathers
cramped, filthy apartment, sleeping with stepbrothers who wet the bed, surviving in a
place that smells like something died. He has not seen his mother in three months,
and he doesnt know why. His world is a world of drugs and violence and unrelenting
chaos, and he has the wisdom to know, even at six, that if something does not
change for him soon, he might not make it.
Sprinkled throughout the book is also Lauras own story of her turbulent childhood.
Every now and then, something about Maurice's struggles reminds her of her past,how her fathers alcohol-induced rages shaped the person she became and, in a way,
led her to Maurice.
He started by cursing my mother and screaming at her in front of all of us. My mother
pulled us closer to her and waited for it to pass. But it didnt. My father left the room
and came back with two full liquor bottles. He threw them right over our heads, and
they smashed against the wall. Liquor and glass rained down on us, and we pulled up
the covers to shield ourselves. My father hurled the next bottle, and then went back
for two more. They shattered just above our heads; the sound was sickening. My
father kept screaming and ranting, worse than Id ever heard him before. When he
ran out of bottles he went into the kitchen and overturned the table and smashed the
chairs. Just then the phone rang, and my mother rushed to get it. I heard her
screaming to the caller to get help. My father grabbed the phone from her and rippedthe base right out of the wall. My mother ran back to us as my father kept kicking and
throwing furniture, unstoppable, out of his mind.
As their friendship grows, Laura offers Maurice simple experiences he comes to
treasure: learning how to set a table, trimming a Christmas tree, visiting her nieces
and nephew on Long Island, and even having homemade lunches to bring to school.
If you make me lunch, he said, will you put it in a brown paper bag?
I didnt really understand the question. "Okay, sure. But why do you want it in a
brown paper bag?
Because when I see kids come to school with their lunch in a brown paper bag, that
8/7/2019 Howard Fall 2011 New Releases
6/17
Page 6 omeans someone cares about them.
I looked away when Maurice said that, so he wouldnt see me tear up. A simple
brown paper bag, I thought.
To me, it meant nothing. To him, it was everything.
It is the heartwarming story of a friendship that has spanned thirty years, that brought
life to an over-scheduled professional who had lost sight of family and happiness and
hope to a hungry and desperate boy whose family background in drugs and crime
and squalor seemed an inescapable fate.
He had, inside of him, some miraculous reserve of goodness and strength, some
fierce will to be special. I saw this in his hopeful face the day he asked for spare
change, and I see it in his eyes today. Whatever made me notice him on that street
corner so many years ago is clearly something that cannot be extinguished, no matter
how relentless the forces aligned against it. Some may call it spirit. Some might call it
heart. Whatever it was, it drew me to him, as if we were bound by some invisible,
unbreakable thread.
And whatever it is, it binds us still.

Miracle on Hope HillAnd Other True Stories of God's Love
Jennie Afman Dimkoff, Author
Carol Kent, Author
Book Description
Miracle on Hope Hillis a collection of true, inspiring stories that show Gods love and
affirmation intervening in the lives of ordinary people. It includes stories of romance,
heartache, tragedy, and celebration, but all with the common thread of "God
moments" that show his love, intervention, and blessing.
Every now and then such moments are so spectacular that we cant miss them. But
far more often we miss them altogether, perhaps calling our experience a stroke of
good luck or taking credit for the unexpected blessing as simply our due. However,
when we truly consider these events, we discover how ever-present God is and we
begin to recognize ways in which God is affirming, leading, and demonstrating his
love for us.
At times his touch is one of comfort when we are hurting. It may come quietly,
unexpectedly, or from the hand of someone he has moved to meet our need. Other
times we may be so consumed with despair that we assume God has abandoned
us. But he has not. His love is shown to us in subtle ways that we sometimes miss
because we are so caught up in the complexity or misery of our circumstances.
Carol and Jennie have both contributed over the years to successful collections of
stories published by Honor, Zondervan, NavPress, and others. For the first time they
are collaborating, two sisters telling stories that uplift, encourage, and inspire.
Each of the forty stories is between 1000 and 1200 words in length and ends with a
verse of scripture.

Hi, My Name is JackOne Man's Story of the Tumultuous Road to Sobriety and a Changed Life
Jack Watts, Author
This book is thorough, helpful, thoughtful. I can recommend it without reservation.
Amy Hollingsworth, author ofThe Simple Faith of Mister Rogers
Book Description
In this grippingly honest narrative about one mans journey from addiction andself-destruction to recovery and a changed life, readers will be dismayed at the hurtful
patterns of his two alcoholic parents and how they scarred and shaped the outcome
of their three sons forever. Watts openly talks of his multiple failed marriages,
strained relationships with his children, overwhelming business losses, and the
self-loathing and guilt that plagued him for years.
In spite of all of this, Jack held on to the conviction he made more than fifteen years
ago never to drink again. Gradually learning to make better choices, he discovered
how to move past deeply engraved dysfunctions and become a productive, loving
adult. Included are accounts of his efforts to live out the twelve steps in restoring
relationships with family members and confronting the offender who molested his
three daughters.
A story like this is one that continues throughout a lifetime. The glimpses shared in
these pages will inspire readers to be honest about their own demons and provide
hope for a fulfilled and joyful life beyond the shackles of addiction.

The Law of HappinessHow Spiritual Wisdom and Modern Science Can Change Your Life
Henry Cloud, Author
Book Description
Drawing from the latest scientific and psychological research on the quest for
happiness, The Law of Happiness reveals that the spiritual truths of the Bible hold the
secrets to the happiness we desire. As Dr. Cloud unpacks these universal, eternal
principles, he reveals that true happiness is not about circumstances, physical health,
financial success, or even about the people in our lives. In other words, its not aboutthe factors that are frequently beyond our control. Rather, happiness is found in
choosing to become the kind of people God created us to be.
With chapter titles like Happy People Connect, Happy People Don't Compare
Themselves, Happy People Have a Calling, and Happy People Forgive, Cloud
shows just how happiness is achieved as he sets readers on a pathway of spiritual
transformation that connects them with the God of the universe. With these new tools,
readers will discover that their relationships, their careers, and their inner selves are
infused with the joy theyve been seeking.

InsurrectionTo Believe Is Human, To Doubt Is Divine
Peter Rollins, Author
Book Description
Theological firebrand Peter Rollins boldly asserts that Christianity is the religion of
doubt.
Through a skillful blend of parables, theology, and anecdotes, Peter Rollins offers a
radical thesis: that Christianity, from its very inception, has been a protest against
religion. Far from being a faith that celebrates knowledge, dogma, and certainty,Insurrection develops the concept that participation in the death of Christ involves
participation in Christs experience of abandonment.
Building on the foundation that popular emergent church leaders have laid,
Insurrection explores the explosive question of whether Christianity can exist in a
religionless manner. Yet Rollins does not stop therehe goes on to show that doubt,
complexity, and ambiguity are necessary elements of a mature and healthy faith.
Authentic faith does not exist in traditional mandates but in a life lived for others.
Whether readers are devout believers or seekers, Insurrection shows that when we
lay down our certainties and honestly admit our doubts, we most identify with Jesus
as he cried out, My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? It is only then that we
truly open ourselves to experience a transformed life.
Author BioPeter Rollins has been praised as possessing one of the most provocative and
thoughtful theological voices of our day. An author, lecturer and storyteller, he is
renowned for his dynamic and winsome speaking. He is also the founder of ikon, a
faith group that has gained an international reputation for blending live music, visual
imagery, soundscapes, theatre, ritual and reflection to create what they call
"transformance art." Rollins received his higher education in Queens University,
Belfast, where he earned degrees (with distinction) in Scholastic Philosophy (BA
Hons), Political Theory (MA), and Post-Structural Religious Philosophy (PhD). He is
currently a research associate with the Irish School of Ecumenics in Trinity College,
Dublin, and is the author of the much talked about How (Not) to Speak of God, The
Fidelity of Betrayaland most recently, The Orthodox Heretic and Other Impossible
Tales. He was born in Belfast, Northern Ireland, but currently resides in Greenwich,
CT.

achievement. The story really makes you think. The theme is both very challenging
and mesmerizing. A first-rate effort."
Hy Smith, executive vice president (ret.), United International Pictures
"Book of Dreams is an exceptional story. The concept itself is remarkably fresh, with a
genuinely unique design. There are very few inspirational-style concepts that have the
potential to cross over and become major mainstream hits. In my opinion, Book ofDreams is at the top of this list. Exciting, relevant, and accessible. A remarkable story,
one that will linger long after the book is put down."
Norman Stone, producer / director, Shadowlands
"Inventive and incisive, Bunn's fiction never disappoints. And hes scored again with
Book of Dreams. Dont miss this one." Jerry B. Jenkins, New York Times
