Corporal Pete Maddox’s road to redemption runs through the Wounded Warrior Rescue, but his troubled past might be a bigger roadblock to repairing his relationship with Penny than he can overcome. Pete Maddox became a teenaged troublemaker after his father was killed in the line of duty. But four years in the Marines has changed him. Now he’s home, and he’s on a mission—to make amends with the people he hurt most, including the woman he still loves. It’s the final step in his road to fully reclaiming the person he was before tragedy struck his family. But old wounds can be the most difficult to heal. Liberty Cove might seem like a sleepy little town to others, but not to Penny Donahue. After practically growing up at her family’s bustling diner, now she’s the one responsible for running it—all while caring for her aging grandmother and finishing up her college degree. New family drama puts even more responsibility on her shoulders just as her old flame comes back to town, dredging up painful wounds he knows nothing about. Pete isn’t sure he deserves Penny’s love, and she isn’t interested in taking a second chance with a man who only reminds her of her biggest hidden insecurity. Together they’ll have to decide if the healing they both crave is worth the risk of opening their hearts just one more time.

We love to cheer for the underdog and believe to our core that every life makes a difference. And we are right. There is no one God can’t use and no one whose brokenness is too broken for God. We know this is true for our friends when we want to encourage them. Yet, when it comes to the places of our innermost sense of shame and regret, we often wonder if it is really true that God can work all things together for good for those who love Him. Angie Smith is one who was quick to encourage a friend, but struggled to believe that God could truly make something spectacular out of her broken- ness and disappointments. Responding to God’s leading to both break and reconstruct a simple pitcher, she reflected: It was as though God were saying, here you are, Angie. You are mended. You are filled with my Spirit, and I am asking you to pour yourself out. The image of my life as a broken pitcher was beautiful to me, but at the same time, it was hard to look at all of the cracks. I ran my fingers along them and told Him I wish it had been different. How I wished I had always loved Him, always obeyed Him, always sought Him the way I should. I was mad at the imperfections, years wasted, gaping holes where it should be smooth. But God, my ever-gracious God, was gentle and yet convicting as He explained. My dearest Angie. How do you think the world has seen me? If it wasn’t for the cracks, I couldn’t seep out the way I do. I chose the pitcher. I chose you, just as you are. Mended takes you on a journey to show how faith lived in the regular events of daily life is all that it takes to be a part of creating God’s picture of redemption in your life and those around you. Your life does make a difference—because of how He is magnified in the cracks.
Being hurt and heartbroken is a sad reality for most of us. But I'm so thankful for this treasure of a book written by my friend Suzie Eller. Page by page, Suzie will help you understand how God's truth can heal your pain so you can move forward whole and healed. - Lysa TerKeurst, New York Times Bestselling Author and President of Proverbs 31 Ministries Brokenness happens. Tragedy, sin or the painful choices of others all have the ability to disrupt an otherwise contented life. And as a result of our heartache, we often attempt to fix our own brokenness—with disastrous results. If you've tried to heal, but keep ending up in the same place—whether the battle is in your heart or out in the open where everyone can see—The Mended Heart is for you. In this book, author Suzanne Eller tells it like it is: people throw quick fixes at you, or tell you to pull yourself up by your bootstraps (whatever that means). More important, though, she shares the powerful truth of Jesus' mission as outlined in Luke 4:18-21: He came to set free all those who are oppressed and in need of mending. You don’t have to fix yourself—Jesus loves you right where you are. In fact, He has already completed the work that needs to be done. The Mended Heart will encourage you to trust Him, to give and receive grace, and to move ahead even stronger than before … even if others don’t move with you.
He left the Navy to chart his own course. She’s ready for a fresh start alone. Will a month together on a boat anchor them in love or make them drift apart for good? Treasure hunter and deep-sea fishing guide Adam Parker’s boat limped back to Liberty Cove after weeks of working at sea. With an engine still billowing smoke, he was served divorce papers he never saw coming. Now he has a choice to make—lose the love of his life or come up with a plan to save his marriage. Years of unsuccessful fertility treatments put a damper on Julia Parker’s dream of becoming a mother. But those dreams shattered completely when her husband suggested they stop the treatments to avoid financial ruin. Feelings of abandonment quickly settled in when Adam started spending all his time working at sea. With a new teaching job waiting for her in another town, she’s ready to close this chapter of her life and move on. Desperate to save his marriage, Adam proposes a deal to his wife: spend one month living with him and his foster dog on the boat. If she still wants to walk away after that, he’ll sign the papers. Julia agrees, leaving Adam hoping he has enough time to convince her that their love is worth fighting for. When mundane days at sea turn into a hunt for the treasure Adam’s been looking for all his life, Julia finds unexpected glimmers of the man she fell in love with. Unsure if he’s really as committed to a childless marriage as he claims, she wonders if this treasure hunt will add to her heartache or if they’ll discover something even more valuable than pirate gold.

Imagine if we treated broken hearts with the same respect and concern we have for broken arms? Psychologist Guy Winch urges us to rethink the way we deal with emotional pain, offering warm, wise, and witty advice for the broken-hearted. Real heartbreak is unmistakable. We think of nothing else. We feel nothing else. We care about nothing else. Yet while we wouldn’t expect someone to return to daily activities immediately after suffering a broken limb, heartbroken people are expected to function normally in their lives, despite the emotional pain they feel. Now psychologist Guy Winch imagines how different things would be if we paid more attention to this unique emotion—if only we can understand how heartbreak works, we can begin to fix it. Through compelling research and new scientific studies, Winch reveals how and why heartbreak impacts our brain and our behavior in dramatic and unexpected ways, regardless of our age. Emotional pain lowers our ability to reason, to think creatively, to problem solve, and to function at our best. In How to Fix a Broken Heart he focuses on two types of emotional pain—romantic heartbreak and the heartbreak that results from the loss of a cherished pet. These experiences are both accompanied by severe grief responses, yet they are not deemed as important as, for example, a formal divorce or the loss of a close relative. As a result, we are often deprived of the recognition, support, and compassion afforded to those whose heartbreak is considered more significant. Our heart might be broken, but we do not have to break with it. Winch reveals that recovering from heartbreak always starts with a decision, a determination to move on when our mind is fighting to keep us stuck. We can take control of our lives and our minds and put ourselves on the path to healing. Winch offers a toolkit on how to handle and cope with a broken heart and how to, eventually, move on.
A veteran who will do anything for those he loves, the ex he never got over, and the rescue dog who needs them both. Family duty called Sergeant Levi Renner back to his small home town. With ailing parents depending on him, he’ll take any job that keeps him close to home—even if it means giving up his dream and working with Brooke Larsen, the veterinarian who just moved back to town… the ex he can’t seem to get out of his mind. Brooke never imagined she’d end up back in Liberty Cove, but that’s exactly where she found herself after falling on hard times. Accepting a temporary job as the resident veterinarian at the Wounded Warrior Rescue seems like a great first step toward rebuilding her career until she runs into Levi, the ex she never really got over. When the lovable town matchmaker pushes them together, the same old issues that drove them apart years ago rise to the surface. Despite the feelings they still have for each other, any chance of rekindling their relationship seems out of reach. When their insistent matchmaker won't quit scheming, the only way to protect their hearts is to fake a relationship and convince her that her services are no longer needed. But fake dating an ex you’re still in love with, isn’t as easy as it sounds.

Rip in your jeans? Snag in a sweater? Tear in a tea towel? They all present an opportunity for one-of-a-kind creativity! With this fun introduction to unconventional mending techniques in a format that's half how-to guide, half idea book, anyone can give worn and torn items new life.

Even with a limited budget and not much time to spare, you can create eye-catching repairs with visible mending--35 examples and more than 150 photos make it easy to put your unique mark on everything you mend!
This guide explores visible mending techniques in both hands-on projects and thoughtful insight about how mending relates to mindful well-being. Mending Matters explores sewing on two levels: First, it includes more than twenty projects that showcase visible mending—styles that are edgy, modern, and bold, yet draw on traditional stitching. It does all this with just four simple mending techniques: exterior patches, interior patches, slow stitches, darning, and weaving. In addition, the book addresses the way mending leads to a more mindful relationship to fashion and to overall well-being. In essays that accompany each how-to chapter, Katrina Rodabaugh explores mending as a metaphor for appreciating our own naturally flawed selves. She also examines the ways in which mending teaches us new skills, self-reliance, and confidence, all gained from making things with our own hands.
