Book Description
Denny, California, a place so far removed from the norm of the state, you would swear it was part of the deep South, a logging town seemingly hidden from the modern day. The year is 1971, and this is The Misery of Meagan. War is ongoing in Vietnam, cultural icons are dying fast, Civil Rights have reached its greatest height thus far, and yet in a town called Denny, life is untouched by the previous three. Life itself is controlled by a group of men called the Elders, seven men who deem it best that everyone live in their shadow. Civil Rights passed and enacted, social mores changed, but in Denny, such things are but a nuisance to be swept under an age worn rug. In such a land, no law is greater than what the Elders have set forth, no greed nor corruption greater than that which lies within each of the seven who stand. Denny has long since been a breeding ground for the otherworldly, and it is the Elders themselves who hold the knowledge and design of such rights. The population is far from a thousand of the living, but threefold in number of the dead that roam the streets and country roads all hours of the day, unseen, but surely there! In the middle of it all is a beautiful young girl, Meagan Worth, morally fit among a town full of racist degenerates, her own parents, some of the lowest lifeforms the town has seen. She must get away, and when she meets Donald Griffin, a stranger and passerby, she finds more than an escape, but love, undeniable. Eldritch terror and the horror of man begin and end the misery of Meagan.

Pages : 104
Book Description
Can love put out the bitterness that burns inside Clay? Clay Burke burns with bitterness toward his older brother, Derek, who deserted him and their ma when they needed him most—just like Pa did. Derek even tried to steal the silver mine Pa had bequeathed to his children. Then Meagan crosses Clay’s path, stirring feelings of compassion and concern he hasn’t felt since his mother died. Meagan Foster barely remembers her own name. She certainly doesn’t know what happened to her family or why she was found wandering across the Nevada wilderness with severe injuries. Nor is she convinced she wants to remember. Something tells her that knowledge will bring shame and earn the rejection of the kind people who have taken her in. Will turmoil from the past keep Meagan and Clay apart, or will the true treasure God has prepared for them be revealed? “Thou hast caused men to ride over our heads; we went through fire and through water: but thou broughtest us out into a wealthy place." Psalm 66:12

Pages : 93
Book Description
(BACK COVER) Why can't we change our inappropriate, compulsive behaviors? Is it because we aren't trying? Surveys show that most people claim a lack of self-control was their reason for relapsing back to old bad habits. Although we believe in miraculous change as Christians, the church is often notorious for creating faith expectations that distort and skew the psychology of achieving lasting sobriety and weight loss goals. The problem is that cogent observations of our compulsive behaviors aren't always entirely rational. We underestimate and remain unaware of factors controlling our behavior. We have influences, biases, preferences, triggers, and traumas that cannot easily be undone. We overestimate our rational ability, failing to understand, actually ignoring our irrational selves. Although Jesus came to save us, his most important work was his efforts to reset our patterns of thought. Quite simply, he came to change our thinking! This book will examine psychological disciplines and techniques in our journey to break free from those habitual behavior cycles and achieve transformative release.

Book Description
New York Times bestselling author Meagan Spooner spins a thoroughly thrilling Beauty and the Beast story for the modern age, expertly woven with spellbinding romance, intrigue, and suspense that readers won’t soon be able to forget. Beauty knows the Beast's forest in her bones—and in her blood. After all, her father is the only hunter who’s ever come close to discovering its secrets. So when her father loses his fortune and moves Yeva and her sisters out of their comfortable home among the aristocracy and back to the outskirts of town, Yeva is secretly relieved. Out in the wilderness, there’s no pressure to make idle chatter with vapid baronessas…or to submit to marrying a wealthy gentleman. But Yeva’s father’s misfortune may have cost him his mind, and when he goes missing in the woods, Yeva sets her sights on one prey: the creature he’d been obsessively tracking just before his disappearance. The Beast. Deaf to her sisters’ protests, Yeva hunts this strange creature back into his own territory—a cursed valley, a ruined castle, and a world of magical creatures that Yeva’s only heard about in fairy tales. A world that can bring her ruin, or salvation. Who will survive: the Beauty, or the Beast?
