I believe this book will be a great help both emotionally and spiritually to all those who are caregivers. I invite you to come and explore my journey as a caregiver. My story may be helpful for those contemplating leaving your loved one in a nursing home, or like me, you just left your loved one in a nursing home. You might wonder what's next. Where do you go from here? How do you handle this new giant in your life? What do you do when you come up against a Red Sea that looks impossible to cross? This book contains the chronicles of my journey during my three and a half years visiting my husband in a nursing home. It starts out with my fear of the unknown and thoughts of shattered dreams. It also conveys how broken dreams can be reversed and burst into true genuine life and living. I found out that this episode in my life was not to dread or fear. It was a time of growing into the person God created me to be. God knows how to make something authentic out of the ashes of our lives and turn our hopelessness into a time of hope and expectation. It's a time to fear not, and see the deliverance of the Lord. As we learn to sit still, hold our peace and remain at rest, we will see the giant go down and the Red Sea open up to allow us to walk-on dry land, into a future He has ordained for each one of us. There you will find Lilies in your Valley.

He visits thousands of gardeners each year. Some of them see him coming, others are caught by surprise. Far too many never recover. His name is Jack Frost -- and he's coming soon to a garden near you. A Gardener's Guide to Frost is packed with practical advice that every gardener can put to use each summer. Readers will learn to look at their gardens the way Jack Frost does so they can keep their gardens thriving despite his icy visits. The clear, easy-to-understand explanations come from someone with dirt under his fingernails, and the book includes helpful tables and other resources, including a handy chart listing the frost tolerance of common garden vegetables. Readers will also meet some gardeners who have devised ways to keep on gardening right past fall frosts and into winter. For all its practical advice, however, this book doesn't present Jack Frost as some sort of villain who spoils our all-too-short gardening seasons. Rather, it explains how we can learn to garden with frost -- even embracing it as a friend who helps us slow down and appreciate the beautiful and fleeting gifts of gardening. Book jacket.

I spent my whole life training to become a ballet dancer-a soloist, a star. Today, I'm a toy, a plaything, a distraction... An offering. A sacrifice to a caged god, to the Norse trickster. Loki. Trapped in a cave for the sins of his past, he waits for the end of days. Modern worshippers curry favor with gifts and trinkets, spilled blood-and women like me. Women who resemble his long-dead wife. We all have that look, you see. I'm supposed to be flattered that I remind him of a goddess in an age gone by. Screw that. I'm furious. The ones who came before me were sweet, docile, compliant-just like her. But I'm not sweet. I'm not docile, and I will never be compliant. I am resilient. I am determined. I am-not-drawn to him. I will survive this. I will survive him. My name is Nora Olsen, and I will not die here. To Love a God is a full-length standalone soft dark paranormal romance novel set in the Lily of the Valley universe. Each book in the series can be read on its own, but characters will occasionally pop up in other stories. No cliffhangers. Always a happy ending-because even villains deserve a happily-ever-after.
