Vincent Hérbert is a successful author of a series of books that follow the adventures of Buddy and Theo, an unwitting pair of traveling encyclopedia salesmen, and their accidental but uncanny encounters with area folklore such as Diana of the Dunes, the Pope Lick Monster and the Wendigo cannibals. Despite the fact that Vince was raised in “the place where myth and legend are inseparable from everyday life”, he has thus far avoided imaginatively revisiting Louisiana with his fictional protagonists. Neither has he returned home with his wife Anna and their three young children in large part because of a particular monster that he has never forgotten from his past. Eventually his agent Lydia, because of the marketing potential she recognizes, and Anna, because she senses the presence of a secret ghost that is causing her husband to drift farther away from his family, conspire to change his mind. As expected, Vince finds no shortage of local legends for Buddy and Theo to interact with including the Hellhounds of Barataria Bay, The Devil Man of Algiers, The Grunch, the Honey Island Swamp Monster, and the ghost of Mary Glass. But his research, along with seemingly fated circumstances, are also reacquainting him with all the disappointments, mistakes and regrets that he’d run away from so many years ago. Many of those regrets resurface when he reunites with his sister Genie whom he abandoned after she become pregnant out of wedlock, and his cousin Laurent who followed him into the sables mouvants [quicksand]. The target of much of his resentment is his deceased père [father] whom he unexpectedly discovers he has much in common with. The revelations have only just begun however, as all paths inevitably lead him into confrontation with the legendary loup garou [Cajun werewolf] and it quickly becomes evident that this time there is no option where both he and the haunting animal survive.

What will people say about you when the crisis is over? Will they say that you lived out what you proclaimed all your life? Will they say that your actions matched your confession? Ultimately, what will God say about you? Not only that, but as a Christian, are you being a lighthouse for others during the storm? Dr. Abidan Shah and his wife, Nicole, have composed this book of 30 brief devotions to help you navigate your faith through whatever crisis you may be facing. Their prayer is that as you read this book, God will guide and strengthen you through His Word into the image of His Son by the Holy Spirit.\n"With both grit and grace, Abidan and Nicole Shah give meaning to our suffering through their deeply insightful, highly encouraging, and thoroughly biblical thoughts about living through a crisis. In every page, love and truth converge, offering hope, redemption, and a solid anchor in Jesus Christ. Readers of 30 Days Through a Crisis will feel like they've made new friends.

As they walk us through God's word in each of the 30 days they provide us, their readers, with two valuable resources. First are the action steps we can take every single day. This isn't a book that you just read and close after the day's reading, but rather a book that invites you to see God in your life and in the crisis. The second aspect that is so valuable is that they have included pages to journal. It doesn't matter what your crisis is, journaling through that season, is vital and allows you to see how God is at work, how prayers are being answered and how your faith is growing. Pick up this book and start reading it today. You will be amazed at what your life looks like 30 days from now. -Tony and Alisa DiLorenzo, Co-founders of ONE Extraordinary Marriage

So many people are put into leadership roles without guidance, which leads them to follow someone else’s style, even if they don’t like it. They don’t know what to do, so they just follow by example. This inspirational fable describes an approach that allows you to become a confident leader by revealing your own personalized leadership style that is authentic to you. 
Imagine how constructive it would be to hear conversations that developing leaders have had with their trusted mentor. In this leadership fable, the one-on-one coaching that leaders receive from a seasoned leader guides them through a leadership development process to help them embrace the core values that drive their behavior. 
I believe each person has been shaping their own leadership values and style throughout their life. They just don’t realize it. Interactions or observations with a teacher, parent, coach, or supervisor can leave lasting impressions on a person. I encourage people to tap into these positive and negative memories to help define what leadership means to them versus just reading what other people say. Relating leadership to your personal experiences is far more impactful than just reading about other’s experiences. ~The Power of an Authentic Leader\nUnderstanding your true self is the key that unlocks your natural ability to adapt in any situation you encounter. Learn the 3D Strategy for natural leadership and experience the joy of leading as your best self. 
Discovery: Reflect on impactful life experiences that connected with your core values Development: Test and refine your individual, values-driven strategies through real-life experiences Delivery: Execute your personalized leadership style with a focus on continual adaptation 
This book is a practical guide to help you outline your individual leadership style. It’s designed for anyone who wants to be more confident, whether you’re a seasoned leader or facing your first leadership opportunity. To start your personalized leadership journey, visit KathyRusher.com.

Over a quarter-century of ministry, Katie Hays has been learning and teaching that orthodox, biblical, Christian faith not only supports but demands the inclusion of LGBTQ+ persons in the church. For Galileo Church, the community Hays founded in 2013 on the outskirts of Fort Worth, Texas, it has been important to help every believer articulate this essential piece of discipleship. A seminar, also called "For the Bible Tells Me So," evolved into this booklet, which is a succinct rendering of a complex theological mystery: God's consistent and surprising embrace of those whom Very Religious People have cast out. Part One is a rapid read of the (very small) set of scriptures that seem to prohibit LGBTQ+ identity. Part Two presents an alternative to fact-checking every individual verse. If we read the Bible as a whole, Hays contends, one unified, unfolding story of the church's discovery of God's generosity, we can track a trend toward the inclusion of all people in God's family of beloveds. Human embrace of the marginalized "other" grows as God's own Spirit appears in the lives of those once thought to be outside of God's amazing grace. This edition also includes an open letter published on social media in 2017, "To the Dearly Beloved Queer Children of God," as an example of how biblical-theological study has provoked Galileo Church to action on behalf of LGBTQ+ Christians who seek inclusion in the church.
