Few people choose to contemplate critical illness or the inevitability of death until their time comes. Because possibilities are rarely discussed, many people are unprepared or unable to make critical end-of-life decisions and spend their last days in over-medicalized and unnecessarily painful and protracted situations. Breaking frankly through the taboo of discussing death, Hattie Bryant shows that we have a choice. Inspired by the peaceful death her mother was almost denied, Bryant began gathering information from national experts in palliative care, geriatrics, oncology, bio-ethics, psychology, and spirituality. I’ll Have It My Way credibly and passionately presents the case for personal responsibility in the healthcare, legal, and procedural decisions that all of us must make―if they are not to be made for us. By making our wishes known and communicating them effectively, we remove the burden from our loved ones of making the deeply personal choices that will enable us to live our lives more fully to the end. I’ll Have It My Way provides useful information from experts throughout healthcare, real-life examples that illustrate the consequences of decisions made or not made, and a thought-provoking guide that takes the reader on a journey of discovery to learn what a life well lived means to them. Spoiler alert: we will all die. But if we follow Hattie Bryant’s sound advice, our story can have the ending that we believe is best.

Caroline Carlyle is a self-assured young woman whose everyday life is turned upside down in the aftermath of a shocking murder. During a much-anticipated dinner party at the Lamar's-the most prominent family in town and the caretakers of the grand Greyfield Estate and House-she makes the acquaintance of Oliver Belmont. But when Mr. Belmont is murdered the very same night, her own life and surety are thrown into disarray. The death and the questions surrounding it create turmoil in town, triggering both fear and anger. Caroline is swept into the mystery and drama, which leaves her shaken, confused, and even ashamed as more and more comes to light. Mr. Belmont's death and the resulting revelations reshape Caroline's perception of her formerly peaceful world, especially when she cannot help but delve deeper into the events surrounding the murder. As the investigation develops, so do her struggles with the marks it has left on her and the people around her. A mysterious murder is no more straightforward, it seems, than what such an event leaves in its wake. Thorns and Roses of Greyfield is a compelling story of murder in the high society of Nova Scotia, but along with the excitement and elegance of a well-spun period drama run deeper themes of tragedy, humanity, and how they intertwine.

The battle for the future of American Christianity is being waged -- which side will win is anybody’s guess. This cutting-edge novel by first-time Boise, Idaho author Jodi Cowles revolves around the Minor Protection Act.

As a collective, the human race is rushing towards a culmination of a time that will seal our futures forever. Yet only individually can each of us ensure our future. This book points out the dangers and errors of embracing teachings just because the majority is running with it; we need not be part of the status quo. It demonstrates how to take the road less traveled that leads to victory ensuring a safe and glorious future. It is warning of false prophets, lukewarm living and relinquishing our responsibility by following a particular teaching. Don’t wait till later, because later may be too late.

We all know that day-to-day living can be difficult or, at times, decorated with unexpected joys. But, life also throws out the unthinkable and unimaginable. When life comes at you, who needs fiction? The Totaled Woman proves that real life is much stranger than any fiction you’ll ever read! Comprising individual true stories, The Totaled Woman shares the challenges and joys from a mother’s perspective in a home with five precocious children and a brilliant (if impractical) scientist husband. Marcia Veldhuis lays the reality of motherhood and life on the line in the individual events she shares with the reader. From chasing owls out of the house and setting shoes on fire, to donning goggles to peel onions and finding a dead husband, Veldhuis invites the reader into the joy, sorrow, hilarity and difficulty of each unbelievable situation. In The Totaled Woman, Veldhuis looks beyond the crisis of the moment and finds the lessons that God would have. Veldhuis says, “These stories are true, totally true. There are perhaps some writers who would feel the need to pad truth with fiction or put several stories together to make that one seem more fantastical. This has never been needed in our home! Day-to-day living has always been stranger than fiction.” Readers of all ages will enjoy this book, which includes simple artwork by the author that adds to the humor and personality of the overall work. You will clearly see that joy in the Lord is the strength of families and thereby, nations.
