The idols of addiction must be dealt with through reverence for God just as they are chosen through our irreverence. Reverentially Turning to God from Idols is 365-day reading. It is a combination of Addiction: A Tug of War, Quality Sobriety (Volumes 1-5), Turning to God from Idols, as well as a few other works by Gregory Madison. The epitome of reverencing God is the mind of Christ. It is impossible for someone abiding in Christ to relapse!

Being the youngest of three sisters isn't always easy for Britt Chandler, especially when her older sisters have successful lives and hers is still on hold. She put everything aside to care for her dying mother, but now their mother is gone. Just as her life finally has a chance to blossom, her sister is ordered on bed rest during a difficult pregnancy, and it looks like God is again calling Britt to be a family caregiver--and nothing more. Rafe Stuart is unable to forgive himself for a childhood mistake with grave repercussions. No matter how many lives he saves now as a first responder, he can't ever seem to do enough penance to free his soul from that decades-old tragedy. There definitely isn't room in his wounded heart for love; it's much too dangerous. When these two struggling souls encounter each other, sparks fly. But they're both scared the fire that might result could destroy them--and the others around them. How can they begin to trust God to have the best for them and real purpose for their lives beyond what they've dreamed...or feared?

For several years I cared for my wife of over forty years, who was suffering with dementia. For much of that time and since her death I have grieved her loss. This book is about some of the lessons God has taught me and the insights He has given me during this season. I write from a personal perspective that is founded on Scripture and Christian experience. Although I have served in ministry for decades, I don’t write from a professional ministry perspective. My motive is to encourage and share these lessons and insights with Christians who are either providing care for a loved one or who are grieving the loss of a loved one.

In a long, splendid life rich with struggles and satisfaction, above all Brandon Halloran treasured family. So the proud patriarch had meddled shamelessly in his darling brood's love lives…until finally the tables had turned! For the merry widower harbored a secret from the his nearest and dearest: cherished memories of sparkling, scandalous Elizabeth Forsythe, who'd once put wings to his flyboy's heart, only to vanish when he'd soared home from the war. And with Lizzy at long last on his horizon again, the one thing that could prevent his long-overdue second chance at happiness was…family! Vows: Love, Honor and Cherish—words that three generations of Halloran men vowed to live by.
