When this book was written in 2018, I didn't get the meaning behind it, not having the usual salvation story; jump ahead to 2024 and the clarity is glaring. It is about teens whose parents, the Ambassadors, disappear, and it is not the rapture. What do they do now? This story is filled with hope and fear, but mostly truth. I hope you find hope in these darkening times.

Story Behind the Book

After writing the twelve-book Christy Miller series for teens, a new character showed up on the pages of the final novel. Her name was Sierra Jensen, and she was so compelling as a teenage character that readers began asking for a series about Sierra in order to hear more about her life choices. Our family had just moved to Portland at the time, and I found it easy to picture a sixteen-year-old like Sierra shopping at the local vintage clothing stores, hanging out with friends at a garage band concert, and serving at the homeless shelter on weekends.

Story Behind the Book

The Christy Miller series was actually born when a group of thirteen-year-olds challenged me to write a novel. I'd been questioning the content of their favorite books when they said, 'Why don't you write a book for us?' I told them no, I only wrote picture books. But they persisted: 'How hard could it be? We'll even tell you what to write We want a love story with teenagers at the beach.' And there you go. Summer Promise first released seventeen years ago and is now translated into five languages. I continue to hear from readers all over the world, many girls saying that they gave their life to Christ after reading Summer Promise. I love that

Seven-year-old Michael Waston admires the blessed Christian life his parents exemplify and wants nothing more than to follow them in his own walk with God. Unfortunately, his unpredictable bad temper is the biggest challenge he must overcome as, one day, he unintentionally hurts his four-year-old sister, Matsey. He asks and receives forgiveness, but when Matsey ends up in the hospital with brain cancer, Michael believes it is his fault.

As he is tested by trials and situations thrown at him by the Enemy, Michael's father encourages him to grow in his faith through prayer and reading scripture. It is through these methods Michael discovers that God has provided an armor of protection against the Enemy for all of His children to wear and begins to learn how to use it.

A story of overcoming personal trials, finding forgiveness in others and in ourselves, and using God's Word for protection and to bring others to salvation, Barbara Elliott-Girod's You're Forgiven proves that while Satan may come after us as we walk this world, we have the armor of God to protect us.

Barbara Elliott-Girod drives professionally for the Amish and feels a part of the community. She does this for pleasure and because she likes to serve others. She asked Jesus to be her Lord and Savior in 2009 and began writing out scripture, verse by verse, for over fourteen years, hoping to overcome depression. After reading Ephesians 6:10-18 in April of 2010, an idea came to her to write a story involving the armor of God. A dear Amish sister read her first fifteen pages and encouraged her to finish what she started. Now, it has become a trilogy that focuses on the different parts of God's armor with her first book, You're Forgiven, focusing on the helmet and breastplate.

Manhattan Beach native Lovette has two rules in life. One: no surfing. Not after her brother's accident. Two: absolutely, no dating. And going into her junior year of high school, she's pretty happy with that arrangement. She has friends, her church youth group, and God to fall back on when things get dicey. But after Jake Evans walks into her life, following these two simple rules gets a lot more complicated.

Jake is the boy from Lovette's childhood who grew up. Handsome and sweet, he unlocks the part of Lovette that wants nothing more than to surf the waves again. And as their relationship grows, she begins to question what it means to be faithful: to her family, to God, but mostly, to herself.

Told with humor and heart, Heather Buchta delivers a sparkling debut that asks the question: Can you fall in love, be a teenager, and also be a good Christian?

In the first book of the Sweet Seasons series, Candace finds herself in a romantic comedy with a screwball edge when she starts her summer job at a crazy amusement park. Surviving all the surprises The Zone has in store won't be easy ... but it may be worth it if it means getting to know her attractive and mysterious coworker.

When her father forces sixteen-year-old Candace to apply for a summer job, a position as a cotton candy operator at The Zone is all she can find. With a nametag that says Candy and no time to hang out with her best friend, Tamara, Candace can feel the next three months slipping away. The only positive is that her cart is often positioned near Kurt, one of the mascots in the History Zone of the park. But while their flirtation is giving Candace a reason to head to work, her fellow cotton candy girl just happens to be Kurt's ex. And she's the kind to hold grudges.

As the summer progresses, the job gets easier, Candace finds a new friend in Josh, and she and Kurt become closer ... but Candace's other relationships both at the park and with Tamara just keep getting worse. And once Kurt's ex is assigned to her team-building scavenger hunt group, Candace's life becomes as sticky as the pink fluff she serves all day.
