Most of us have probably heard the words, “God loves you.” With all of life’s hardships and questions without answers, it can be difficult to believe these words in our heads, let alone in our hearts. At certain times, it can be easy to wonder: Is God really there? Has He forsaken me? Is He disappointed in me? After a particularly difficult, searching time in her life, Connie Smith came to a life-changing illumination about God and His endless, faithful love. Through the process of learning to let go of her failures and her striving to gain God’s approval, this revelation unfolded in an undeniable way—through random hearts. She began seeing them everywhere—in a rain puddle, in a cement sidewalk, in the bark of a towering tree trunk, in a strip of chipped road paint, even in a littered aluminum can. The more hearts she encountered, the more significant they became in her life—a confirmation of God’s presence and His relentless, unconditional love. Never Lose Heart is an inspirational gift book born out of Connie’s journey and her discovery of God’s grace as she had never known it before. Featuring 52 heart images captured with her iPhone, unaltered and just as she found them, Never Lose Heart offers encouragement, comfort, and hope amid life’s challenges. No one is exempt from hardships in this life, but God is faithful and promises to be with us no matter what, even in the midst of our failures. His unfailing love has always been there, ready to be found—if we choose to see it.

Third in the Never Lose Heart book series, Lifted by You: A Heart Changed by Perfect Love by Connie Smith is written as a response to her first two books, Never Lose Heart and Grounded in His Love, which are intended to be read as love letters from God. This new book reveals what Connie has come to know about God’s love at the core of her heart, on the other side of painful life struggles, inspiring us to trust in God's faithfulness and persevere in the hope He has given us. “God is always working on our behalf,” Connie writes, “leading us deeper in our walk with Him, so that we can go higher. Every challenge, heartache, and disappointment presents us with an opportunity to lean in closer, and ultimately, to see His good purposes.” In the award-winning tradition of Connie’s previous books, Lifted by You walks us through a “gallery” of gorgeous, evocative photographs of naturally-occurring hearts found in nature and everyday objects, each accompanied by a deeply inspirational message about God’s unfailing love. "In God's amazing grace," Connie writes, "there is power to rise above—if we choose to open our hearts and believe."

Cautionary Tales: Young People, Crime and Policing in Edinburgh

Juvenile crime makes headlines. It is the stock-in-trade of politicians and pundits. But young people are also the victims of crime. They too have demands to make of the police. Drawing upon survey and interview research with 11 to 15 year-olds in Edinburgh, this book examines how crime impacts upon young people's everyday lives. It reveals that young people experience far more serious problems as victims and witnesses of crime, than they cause as offenders. It shows that they report little of their experiences of crime to the police, and are left to find their own ways of managing risk, such as telling cautionary tales&#157; about dangerous people and places. The study concludes by examining young people's relations with the police, suggesting they are over-controlled&#157; as suspects and under-protected&#157; as victims.

Spencer Jacobs' life was ordinary, boring even. Her daily routine never varied, she worked as a full time nurse and raised her four year old daughter, Luci, as a single mother. But her entire life was turned upside down the day of the break in. The day she and Luci were attacked by a Berith. The day a mysterious, handsome stranger rescued them, transporting them from the safety and seclusion of South East Texas to New Orleans. Spencer's true identity, which had been hidden from her since birth, had been revealed, and her life would never be boring again. She found herself cast into the underground world of the Children of the Craft, true witches who must live in secrecy along with other creatures of magic and mystical beings. A world where anything was possible and secrets had been kept since the Mayflower Pilgrims had arrived generations ago. The first Pilgrims were not the religious reformists fleeing persecution as history taught, but instead were the first Children of the Craft in this land. Practicing witches and warlocks intent on finding a home to practice their craft with peace and tolerance for all. Spencer was a True Child, she was a Mayflower descendant and she had to accept her responsibility as the Keeper of the Vessel. She, along with her Watcher, Donovan Chambers, had to find the lost Vessel which contained the Pilgrim's Blood to ensure the survival of their families as well as their Coven. Failure was not an option and their quest was made even more difficult by the evil Berith Society, whose members tracked and fought them every step of the way across historical sites in Louisiana and Texas. Suddenly thrust into a world she believed couldn't possibly exist and nothing was as it appeared, Spencer had to embrace her true self and accept not only her birthright, but her destiny as well. The lost Vessel had to be found. Her very life, along with that of her daughter, depended on it.
