She needed a place to stay. He needed to save his ranch. Together they just might make a home. Sgt. Dylan Banks lost more than just his leg in the war. His fiancée and family turned their backs on him as well. Now, he’s determined to create a safe place where wounded warriors like himself can heal. But a hidden zoning law requires all residents of the Purple Heart Ranch to be married. To save his dream, Dylan and his men will have to tie the knot—but can a man with such deep scars inside and out believe in love again? Maggie Shaw lost both her job as a veterinary technician and her apartment on the same day. Who knew her unreasonable landlord would kick her out for being four dogs over the one pet limit?

On Bended Knees

Publisher: Elm Hill
ISBN: 1400325846
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 194
Book Description
On Bended Knees is a collection of weekly devotionals that the author has put together as the Holy Spirit revealed same to her. Many of these writings are a result of personal experiences the author has been through and found solace and the required answers through the word of God. “For the Word that God speaks is alive and full of power [making it active, operative, energizing, and effective]; it is sharper than any two-edged sword, penetrating to the dividing line of the breath of life (soul) and [the immortal] spirit, and of joints and marrow [of the deepest parts of our nature], exposing and sifting and analyzing and judging the very thoughts and purposes of the heart.” Hebrews 4:12 AMPC. This scripture comes alive in the pages of this devotional and the chapters speak into the life of the reader as a now word! How do we approach the word of God? We approach the word of God with love, with humility and with expectation. With fresh insight from The Holy Spirit, the author has put this devotional together with real life experiences in the word of God detailing her meditations and the deep truths the Holy Spirit on this journey has revealed to her. These experiences are very relatable to many as is evident from the pages of the book. The very practical examples utilized in the pages of this devotional reveal there is a light at the end of the tunnel in this Christian walk, making the challenges we face look clearly surmountable and showing the reader what to do in various situations. Easily understood based on her style of writing, the truth of God’s word is opened up to the reader with answers to several questions that have plagued the Christian mind. The Word is critical to daily living. The Word is logos which speaks to the written Word and the Word is rhema which speaks to divine revelation. The teachings of this book point us to the Master in His Majesty and shows us how to utilize the life building capsules in the Bible for our spiritual development. It puts us on our back so that we can look up. It is directional and instructive, from worry to prayer to intimacy with God to keeping our eyes on the Potter, to dwelling in his secret place, to warring. Each chapter is power, and as we open our hearts to God in scripture through the teachings of the book, we can be sure of a life changing experience. The perfect Helper is waiting at the door of your heart to lead you through.

What It Takes
Author: Mark Herzlich
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 0451468805
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 289
Book Description
In 2011, he became starting linebacker for the New York Giants and triumphed in the Super Bowl—after being told his cancer diagnosis meant he would never play football again.... As a child, Herzlich found true meaning in football, eventually turning his passion into a first-team All-American spot at Boston College. But the budding star was sidelined by persistent, debilitating pain in his left leg. The shocking diagnosis: He had Ewing’s sarcoma, a rare bone cancer. Doctors put his odds of survival as low as ten percent—and no one thought he would be able to run, much less play football, again. Then Herzlich learned of a radical treatment that would give him the best chance to regain his strength and maybe even play football again, but it could cost him his life. Relying on family, friends, faith, and deep wells of determination to help him through treatment, his plan worked. Not only could he run, but he was physically stronger than ever, and mentally ready to battle his way into the NFL. When he was passed over by all thirty-two teams in the draft, he dug deeper and continued his training, winning a spot in the Giants’ training camp and, eventually, on the team. Mark Herzlich fought a battle against cancer, against statistics, and some days against himself. Told with candor and raw emotion, What It Takes is a story for anyone who has ever fought to beat the odds, for anyone who has ever been told that what they are about to attempt is next to impossible. INCLUDES PHOTOS With a foreword by New York Giants head coach Tom Coughlin
