When Change Finds You

When difficult or unwanted change enters our lives, it can cause fear, anxiety, and anger to bubble up from within. We want to quiet that simmering stress, but how do we do that, especially when we know our circumstances aren't going to calm down any time soon? By regularly meeting with God and exchanging our worries and fears for his assurances that he is using our difficult change for us, not against us. Easier said than done? Not if you have Kristen Strong alongside you as your understanding guide. Offering thoughtful, humorous anecdotes and powerful prayers to recite, Strong invites you to think and feel differently about change on the inside so you can live and love differently on the outside. As the tender companion she is, Kristen will show you how not to get over difficult change but rather to get through it. She'll help you acknowledge your change, give your anxieties over to God, and abide well in the days to come--no matter what transitions life brings.

THERE IS AN UNSPOKEN WORD IN CHRISTIANITY THAT WORD IS INTIMACY! Deep inside every true child of God is a desire to know Him intimately. Intimacy with God is seldom experienced by Gods people because it is not talked about, we dont know what it is, and we dont know how to obtain it. Do you have a hunger in your soul for a deeper experience of God? Has your search for such an experience often led to frustration and more questions? WHEN GOODNESS FINDS YOU invites you to live a life of intimacy with God. RETURN TO A LIFE OF INNOCENCE. FIND THE KIND OF RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD YOU WERE DESIGNED TO ENJOY. DISCOVER INTIMACY IN SIMPLE WAYS. IGNITE THE FIRE IN YOUR SOUL BY TAKING THE STEPS OF A CHILD. FIND OUT HOW TO POSITION YOURSELF FOR GODS GOODNESS TO FIND YOU. Intimacy with God isnt a topic that can be written about from a merely academic perspective. Scott Boucher communicates that with an ease and candor that can only come through a man who writes from experience. If you want the often-misunderstood concept of intimacy with God to come alive, do yourself a favor and read this book. Shawn Hennessy, lead pastor, Life Church, Green Bay, WI I highly recommend this book; it is birthed out of many years of Scotts experience. Rev. Arni Jacobson, international director of leadership, Grace International For those who have not yet experienced the pleasure and joy of partaking of the Lord in this way, you are in for the treat of your life. I believe this is the most important aspect of our Christian faith, and sadly, the most missed experience for those who call themselves Christian. John Kieffer, Wisconsin State Facilitator, Mission America Coalition

Are you tired of walking the tightrope? Are you trying desperately to be perfect and feel condemned when you fail? Do you struggle to believe that God actually loves you? I have really good news. You can rest. You can get off the tightrope and know beyond a shadow of a doubt that God loves you. How? Because God sent his Son to do what we couldn’t. He lived, died and rose so that we could be called righteous. This truth sets us free. Are you ready?

One day in early February Nancy Perkins, a nurse in a decaying marriage, receives an assignment to care for a Vietnam War veteran suffering from a severe case of Alzheimer's. Not only does the patient, Jeremiah Jacobson, believe himself to be in the midst of war but he also believes all of his nurses and visitors to be deceased family members and friends from his tormented past. On the same day Andrea Waters, an anti-social high school senior with a painful past, is ordered by her father to visit Jeremiah on weekdays. Although reluctant, Andrea agrees to spend her afternoons with a grandparent she was never particularly close to and barely knows anything about. In order to communicate more easily with Jeremiah, Andrea and Nancy pretend to be the deceased relatives and friends he imagines them to be. They never thought doing so would change his life or theirs.

The author of the #1 New York Times bestseller What Kind of Woman returns with a collection of erasure poems created from notes she received from followers, supporters and detractors—an artform that reclaims the vitriol from online trolls and inspires readers to transform what is ugly or painful in their own lives into something beautiful. “I'm sure you could benefit from jumping on a treadmill” “Women WANT a male leader . . . It’s honest to god the basic human playbook” These are some of the thousands of messages that Kate Baer has received online. Like countless other writers—particularly women—with profiles on the internet, as Kate’s online presence grew, so did the darker messages crowding her inbox. These missives from strangers have ranged from “advice” and opinions to outright harassment. At first, these messages resulted in an immediate delete and block. Until, on a whim, Kate decided to transform the cruelty into art, using it to create fresh and intriguing poems. These pieces, along with ones made from notes of gratitude and love, as well as from the words of public figures, have become some of her most beloved work. I Hope This Finds You Well is drawn from those works: a book of poetry birthed in the darkness of the internet that offers light and hope. By cleverly building on the harsh negativity and hate women often receive—and combining it with heartwarming messages of support, gratitude, and connection, Kate Baer offers us a lesson in empowerment, showing how we too can turn bitterness into beauty.
