Valley of the shadow
Elizabeth and Erin Stone
Mother and daughter co-authors take on this relevant and difficult topic of suicide, giving a deeply personal testimony about Erin’s attempted suicide in 2007 by over-the-counter overdose. Not only do they share their darkest days, but also their journey back to normalcy. They take on the hard questions: What does the Bible say about suicide? How should the Church respond to a suicide attempt? A suicide completion? How can faith communities raise awareness and prevent this terrible killer? What extra help comes to believers through faith in Christ? How do we move on from the dark place of suicide to renewed life? As you journey through its pages, you will find hope in sharing their compelling story.
Whether you’re grappling with the quiet of an empty house, figuring out what to do with your children’s old rooms, or adjusting to kids who come back to visit or stay, This Reimagined Empty Nest is more than a collection of stories. It’s a source of encouragement, a testament to resilience, and a celebration of the beautiful possibilities that lie ahead.

Choices
When you are faced with a challenge, what choice will you make?
Lori Vober
Life rarely turns out exactly as you pictured it, and we all face challenges along the way. God always has a plan.
But He leaves it up to you whether you follow His plan or not. Life is about choices.
I have chosen to depend on God's faithfulness through all our challenges.
Everyone has doubts about their own abilities, but God has a plan for each of us. So believe in Him, and don't give up.
Sometimes your attitude, drive, and enthusiasm can take you further than your talents or abilities. Attitude can make all the difference.
Find your happiness in whom God says you are. Don't let someone else define your happiness.
