A Stitch in Time: A Novel
Can a middle-aged Christian woman be faithful, fashionable,
and fabulous? As a successful fundraising executive in
Southern California, Dee Decker's glamorous job revolves
around one gala event after another. In a world populated by
highly competitive, impossibly thin, perfectly coiffed,
designer-outfitted women who lunch-for-a-living, Dee is
overweight but nonetheless has a well-earned reputation of
being cool, calm, and collected. That is, until she
discovers her husband has been having an affair. Dee embarks
on a journey of transformational change and self-discovery.
She undergoes gastric bypass surgery and in less than one
year loses 150 pounds.
She becomes a new person inside and out, and the future
looks bright. But then a job offer sends her life in a
direction she hadn't expected. Her past and present are
about to collide in a major way.
Will Dee discover how to balance the fast-paced Southern
California lifestyle with her new values?

and Coast Guardsmen have remarkable stories to tell about
their experiences in uniform.
Here are their stories of how God was with them during often
life–threatening situations. Each story is a recollection
from a past or present serviceman or woman or their loved
one, sharing their story of how God answered their prayer.
Stories range from our current struggle in the Middle East
to past conflicts such as World War II, the Korean War, and
the Vietnam War.

Get Real (with Heather Gemmen)
This is a test! The good kind of test. Here it is. You (yes,
you!) are the main character in this story about trust. It's
about trusting your four best friends, helping them make
good decisions, and being the kind of friend others trust.
As you read, you'll make choices, and those choices
determine what happens. Can you and the friends you hang out
with–Five Alive–make it through middle school and still live
out 1 Corinthians 13? Can you figure out how to handle
friendships and your faith without messing up? It's a
challenge, but the good news is, even if you do mess up, God
allows U-turns!
