In this emotional Amish romance, a young couple will discover that healing from heartbreak takes two. Miriam Bowman was devastated when her fiance was killed in a logging incident. In the years since the tragedy, she finds it impossible to enter into a new relationship for fear of it coming to a disastrous end. So she works at her quilt shop in town and stays away from anything that would risk her heart. As least until David Miller comes back home to take a second chance at the Amish way of life. David feels responsible for the logging incident that killed his friend and Miriam's betrothed, and his life has been corrupted by guilt. That guilt only worsens when he and Miriam begin to spend time together after his return, and they begin to have feelings for each other. David might just be the man Miriam has been afraid of finding, one she could fall in love with. And Miriam is the only one who can truly forgive David for his perceived misdeeds. In order to risk their hearts and find the love they've been missing, David and Miriam will have to open them to each other.

Prominent are the ordinary people who experienced the crisis - the victims, the freedom fighters, and the women who took a leading part in the peace process. Howley writes mostly through their eyes, in their words.Howley, Executive Director of the PEACE Foundation Melanesia, was with them through most of the war. He oversaw a marriage of Western learning on restorative justice and win-win mediation with custom law. The success was so extraordinary that the processes set up are now being used in most village communities as the norm for conflict resolution, even for serious matters such as murder. Howley analyses the effectiveness of this marriage and how it can be used in the future when Bougainville achieves autonomy. He also discusses the devastation to Bougainville's culture and identity caused by the giant copper mine which dominated the PNG economy, and how the islanders are coping with the residue of trauma from the civil war."A landmark study of reconciliation and restorative justice in action, profound and inspiring in its holistic view of justice ... Bougainville shows the world how indigenous people can reclaim their justice system ... This book shows how a people's peace can prevail over a war that was a product of colonisation."Professor John Braithwaite, Australian National University

At eighteen Hannah Kauffman made a terrible mistake. Her parents and members of her Jamesport Amish community say they’ve forgiven her. But she feels their eyes following her everywhere she goes with eighteen-month-old Evie. Thaddeus, Evie’s father, escaped this fate by running away from Jamesport. Now that Thaddeus is gone, Hannah’s old friend Phillip is stepping up to be by her side. He has waited patiently for Hannah to realize just how much he cares for her. But when Thaddeus returns after two years, Hannah can’t deny the love she feels for him. Does the fact that Phillip has waited patiently for her all this time mean that she owes him something? Can she trust either one of them? Can she trust herself? She has repented and been forgiven by the One who is most important—her heavenly Father. But is she willing to risk making more mistakes by opening herself up to love?
A closeted English man comes out in Key West.
"Anna and Abe Stoltzfus are finally wed, but what they'd hoped would be a seamless blending of families has felt more like a collision. Their children continue to resist their union, leaving the newlyweds at odds over how to discipline them. Compromising parenting styles isn't easy, but is also isn't optional because Anna's expecting. And between visits from her mother and her lovelorn sister, Beth, there's no shortage of bumps in the road ahead. Anna and Abe will have to find a way to sort through the chaos before the baby arrives--or the happily-every-after they've been working toward might fall apart before it even begins." --
In three meditations John Claypool speaks eloquently of the wounds all of us carry through life--the wounds of grievance, guilt, and grief--and how they can be healed. The wound of grievance comes from our suffering at the hands of others, we are pierced by guilt when we inflict pain in return, and we suffer grief when we are hurt by loss. By anecdote and personal example, Claypool helps us see that all these wounds can eventually be healed through the gifts of insight, forgiveness, and gratitude. With the help of scripture and Claypool's own pastoral wisdom, Mending the Heart is a powerful tool for reflection. Each meditation begins with verses from the psalms and ends with a prayer. This book is a wise resource for pastors and caregivers, especially in times of crisis and bereavement, but its simplicity and insight also make it a good guide to prayer and discernment as well as a fine gift book. Mending the Heart is the fourth in our series of Cloister Books: smaller format, gift edition books designed for meditative and devotional reading.
Scarlett McDonald is positive she is getting a promotion at work, but is sorely disappointed. She is not only overlooked for the promotion, but she is being demoted, sent to the outer regions of the state. The Beehive Health Food store in the small town of Tremonton is lagging in sales and is on the verge of collapse. Scarlett, according to her boss, is the remedy. She is not at all anxious to return to the rural town from which she escaped over ten years ago. However, knowing she would not be happy under the new manager at her current store and armed with the promise of a substantial bonus, she is enticed to make the transfer. She starts counting the weeks of her return to civilization before she has even left it, insisting to family and friends that the relocation is only temporary. When the truck she is driving breaks down and an annoying auto repairman enters the picture, she realizes that the faltering store may be the least of her worries. Mending Hearts is a story of healing, of finding joy and forgiveness in the most unexpected places.
Mending Children’s Broken Hearts By: Armando I. Perez, Ph.D. Mending Children’s Broken Hearts is a collection of the thoughts and experiences of Grace S. Wolff, a respected innovative pediatric cardiologist. The subject matter is daunting—Grace devoted her career to the care of severely ill children. Yet Grace’s stories are shot through with an almost miraculous compassion. She trusted, and she teaches the reader to trust, that there is a thread of hope and wonder even in the worst misfortune. The book stands as a tribute to Grace, to preserve and share her conviction that patient care should be built from the recognition of each patient as an individual human being. It should be useful to patients, medical professionals, and caregivers, as a source of solace and wisdom.
