Life is not easy, but it''s more difficult when we just put our head down, ignore everything and everyone around us, and try to push through till we get to the other side. Identifying the reasons we don''t ask for help is the first step toward making real change and experiencing all that God has for us.In The Bumpy Road to Better bestselling author and senior pastor of Celebration Church, Tim Timberlake, confronts head-on the human tendency to dodge the difficult and hide from the hard. He explains how an obsession with quick fixes, instant gratification, and a trouble-free existence holds us back from gaining wisdom and experiencing transformation. There is great power hidden in the things we are trying to avoid.The road to growth and greatness is rarely smooth or easy, but it''s taking us where we need to go. Tim takes a practical approach to the topic by unpacking thirty unique "hard things" that everyone must face and opening our eyes to the positive results they can bring. With his characteristic blend of storytelling, biblical principles, and down-to-earth applications, Tim walks readers through the intricacies of each of these challenging realities, includingdifficult conversations,uncomfortable delays,hurtful criticism, andpainful sacrifices. The goal is not to simply grit our teeth and survive the discomfort. It''s to embrace the challenges, be changed by them, and receive the gifts they offer. What we really want in life is usually found on the other side of obstacles we''d rather avoid. On the other side of pain is progress, and on the other side of bumps is something better. If we''re going to live freely in Christ and experience the abundant life He promises, we must be willing to be uncomfortable. There is no other way.

When was the last time you awakened to a swirl of out-of-control thoughts? Perhaps you were overwhelmed with the weight of worry, the fear of failing, or the grip of guilt. The way we think directly impacts our joy and peace. In Tame Your Thoughts, Max Lucado provides three biblical and practical tools to renew your mind and transform your life.Our thoughts have consequences. Most people would agree that positive thoughts generate positive actions. Negative thoughts activate negative behavior. But do we understand that we can manage our lives by managing our thoughts? Not only does neuroscience back this concept, but the idea is also embedded throughout Scripture. "Do not be conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewal of your mind" (Rom.12:2 esv). Tame your thoughts and transform your life!In Tame Your Thoughts, Max explores three key thought-management tools and then applies them to the most common thought problems: worry, guilt, anxiety, and other types of mental quicksand that threaten to trap us. God loves us too much to let us lead a life marked by poor thinking. He made our brains; he can retrain our brains. God has not left us alone in this battle of the mind. Stuck in your head? Hounded by regrets? Weighed down by worry? Change is possible! The thoughts that have characterized your past need not characterize the rest of your life. Readers will learn totake thoughts captive,test each message against the truth of Scripture,interrupt poisonous thought threads, andthink and act like Jesus. If God can resurrect the dead, can he not resurrect hope? Defy depression? Clarify confusion? Silence shame? Destroy doubt? Banish bitterness?Take God at his word. "For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind" (2 Tim. 1:7 nkjv, emphasis added). With God as their helper, the reader will discover a new way of thinking and a better way of living. A new person will begin to emerge.We can tame each thought, friends.

In this grumpy-sunshine romance, school nurse Josie and her brother''s best friend--hockey player Wyatt Jacobs--are tricked into spending a summer together that''s anything but smooth sailing.When Josie''s brother sends her to a random address for their (sometimes) annual Super Summer Sibling Extravaganza, she finds neither siblings nor extravaganzas. Instead, ends up at a run-down cottage on the Northern Neck of Virginia occupied by a hockey player she knows and loathes.A hockey player who isn''t just one of her sports agent brother''s clients. He''s also his best friend. And Josie''s sworn enemy.Oh--and her brother wants Josie to help Wyatt recover from his injury.Dragging grumpy hockey players to physical therapy is a far cry from bandaging skinned knees, but for the price her brother offers to pay, Josie is willing to try.Even if it means sharing what she dubs the quaint little murder cottage with Wyatt.Begrudgingly, Josie starts to see a little more of the man behind the grumpy exterior. And when she finds out he was supposed to sail the Intracoastal Waterway south to Savannah scattering his uncle''s ashes, Josie surprises even herself by offering to be Wyatt''s first mate.Smooth sailing is nowhere to be found, and Josie begins to wonder if they''ll be able to make it home without killing--or kissing?--each other.And yet, the longer they share cramped quarters and canned food, the more of Wyatt''s layers she peels back until Josie realizes she misunderstood him, their shared history, and perhaps herself as well.If you''re a fan of closed-door romance with sizzling chemistry, laugh-out-loud banter, and relatable characters, this romance with enemies-to-lovers vibes is your perfect escape. Dive into the irresistible story of Wyatt and Josie as they navigate the rocky waters of their past, uncover hidden depths, and discover that sometimes love is found in the most unexpected places. With the delightful grumpy-sunshine dynamic and the swoon-worthy he-falls-first trope, If All Else Sails by USA TODAY bestselling author Emma St. Clair will keep you turning the pages late into the night.

"A delight!" --Sophie Cousens, New York Times bestselling author"The perfect escape for every sweet romance lover!" --Courtney Walsh, New York Times bestselling author"Another laugh out loud, pitch perfect romance." --Annabel Monaghan, bestselling authorWes left Addie at the altar two decades ago . . . and that was supposed to be the end of the story.When her life crashes and burns in a flurry of secrets and redacted information, Addie Atwater-Elwyn hightails it home to the tiny mountain town of Adelaide Springs, Colorado--back to living with her dad, back to working a low-paying job, back to a life of disappointments. Growing up, nobody expected their local girl to become a high-ranking CIA analyst, married to a gorgeous CIA operative. But that was Addie''s life until she lost . . . well, everything.Now she''s trying to pick up the pieces of her broken life with a little help from old friends. But there''s one old friend she knows her life is better without--Wesley Hobbes, her childhood sweetheart who left her standing at the altar when they were eighteen years old. Truth be told, Addie would be perfectly content never seeing Wes''s stupid face ever again--which makes it very inconvenient that he''s now a beloved senator and presidential frontrunner, his face everywhere she looks. But that has nothing to do with Addie personally. He might make history, but in her book, he is history.So, when the unwelcome Wes appears back in their hometown, no one rolls out the red carpet--not Addie and not an entire town that was forced to pick sides (and unanimously chose Addie) decades ago. Senator Hobbes certainly won''t win the popular vote in Adelaide Springs.Wes, meanwhile, is sitting on a few secrets of his own, including the political scoop of the decade: he''d seriously rather gouge his eyes out than spend another minute in politics, much less ever go anywhere near the White House. Addie knows there has to be more to the story, and her curiosity is clouding her judgment. You can take the girl out of the CIA, but it''s not so easy to shake the CIA out of the girl. Of course, it''s not just curiosity (and the acknowledgement that his face isn''t so stupid after all) that''s been reawakened inside her. But after more than two decades, it''s too late. Wes and Addie already had their chance. Right?Wes and Addie Had Their Chance is a standalone novel set in charming Adelaide Springs, Colorado, where the author''s previous books, Brynn and Sebastian Hate Each Other and Cole and Laila Are Just Friends, also take place. This heartwarming story includes discussion questions for book clubs and readers to further explore the delightful journey of Wes and Addie''s relationship.
