When we live with unresolved anger or hurt, the result is nearly always bitterness, broken relationships, and unhealthy behaviors. Unforgiveness not only sabotages our interactions with those around us, it impedes our own spiritual growth and inner peace. And it can happen to anyone.In her most vulnerable writing yet, Ruth Graham reveals how a visit to Angola Prison inspired her to release the unforgiveness lurking in her own heart--toward others, herself, and even her heavenly Father and her earthly father, evangelist Billy Graham. In this encouraging book, she weaves her own personal experiences with biblical examples to explore what holds us back from forgiving others and ourselves--and what we gain when we finally discover the power to forgive. Along the way, she guides us into our own deeply personal experiences of forgiveness that will penetrate our protective walls and unleash true transformation in our lives.

Abby Johnson thought she knew what mercy was when she ushered desperate women toward abortion as the director of a Planned Parenthood facility. She was wrong. It wasn't until she understood the blood on her hands that she personally experienced the power of God's fierce yet tender mercy to transform her life. But she never imagined what could happen once she allowed that very mercy to infiltrate her life and spill out into a hurting world.In Fierce Mercy, Abby calls you to experience a transformation of your own. Against the backdrop of her first decade involved in the pro-life movement, Abby helps you discover God's unrestrained mercy at work in your own life and take steps toward becoming a channel of that life-changing mercy in the world around you. She shows you how to model God's mercy, freely offer mercy to those who seem undeserving, respond with mercy when others err or offend, and bear witness to God's unrestrained compassion so that others may know him.This is Abby's challenge to you: dare to do what is hard, what is right, and what is good. And do all of it in love.

Holly Marie was forty-two years old the day she found out she was missing.At ten months old, Holly Marie was brought to the door of a church by three barefoot women in white robes and head coverings. Adopted by the pastor and raised in a loving Christian home, Holly nevertheless struggled with the ache of not knowing what had happened to her biological parents. She still felt their absence even as she married and started a family of her own. When two detectives showed up at the restaurant where she worked and informed her that she had a large family in Florida who had been searching for her for over 40 years, Holly's past became the reality of her present, and she began the sometimes painful journey of discovering the truth about her origins: Her parents had been brutally murdered, their case still unsolved.With the help of law enforcement across four states, forensic genealogists, the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, and her newly discovered family members, the missing pieces began to come together. Except these-why had her parents been murdered? And who had murdered them? She soon found out that the truth leads not always to answers but sometimes to more questions, that it also brings healing and restoration, and that we must surrender our unknowns to God until, in His perfect timing, all truths are revealed.Finding Baby Holly is the true, inspiring story of a wife and mother who was "missing" for over forty years after her parents' murders, the persistent detectives who never stopped investigating, and the birth family who never lost hope in finding her.

Ett barn försvinner...En fostermamma ställs inför ett omöjligt val...Ett barns framtid står på spel...När Debra Moerke och hennes man Al beslutade sig för att bli fosterföräldrar, kunde de aldrig föreställa sig hur deras liv skulle förändras. Debra blev särskilt fäst vid en liten flicka: fyraåriga Hannah. Hon älskade henne och gjorde allt hon kunde för att få Hannah att känna tillit och trygghet. Men när Hannah återvände till sin biologiska mamma Karen dröjde det inte länge förrän Debras värsta farhågor besannades.Debra var så tyngd av fasa och sorg att hon inte trodde hon klarade mer. Då fick hon ett telefonsamtal från fängelset. Karen, inspärrad på livstid, var gravid och hade en chockerande fråga.Mamman, mordet och det otänkbara mötet är en osannolik men sann berättelse om tro, familj och en resa mot till synes otänkbar förlåtelse. Det är en berättelse som testar gränserna för det mänskliga hjärtat och i slutändan ett fängslande vittnesbörd om hur villkorslös kärlek kan förvandla även de mörkaste nätter till hoppfyllda morgnar.Sagt om boken”När du börjar läsa den här boken kommer du att gripas av den starka, och i vissa stycken ofattbara berättelsen … När du har läst klart kommer du att bli tagen av Guds mäktiga nåd. Det är en berättelse som bara Gud kan skriva.” – Ruth GrahamUtdrag ur bokenJag stirrade ett ögonblick på den gula telefonen, nästan rädd att lyfta på luren med tanke på alla dåliga nyheter jag fått på kort tid. Jag kunde inte föreställa mig vem som ringde så här tidigt. Så sprang jag snabbt fram till telefonen innan den väckte alla i huset.”Hej, detta är Natrona länshäkte”, sa en inspelad röst. ”Ni har ett betalsamtal från en intern. Vill ni betala avgiften svara ja nu. I annat fall lägg bara på luren.”En intern? Det gick runt i magen, och det for som en stöt genom kroppen. Jag kunde bara tänka på en intern – den jag tänkt på hela natten. Det sprängde i huvudet, och käkarna stelnade. Tror hon verkligen att jag tänker betala samtalet och prata med henne? Är hon galen? Tankarna rusade runt i huvudet när jag tog luren från örat och tänkte lägga på.”Aldrig livet”, viskade jag.I samma sekund slog mig en tanke. ”Skulle jag svara om hon ringde till mig?” Jag kände igen rösten: Jesus. Jag stelnade till.”Du är mina händer och fötter och min röst. Är du mitt sändebud eller inte?”Jag visste att jag måste svara. ”Herre, var med mig. Detta klarar jag inte på egen hand”, viskade jag. Med ögonen vända mot himlen hörde jag mig själv tydligt säga ett ja både till den automatiska telefonsvararen och till Jesus.Om författarnaDebra Moerke och hennes man Al var fosterföräldrar i arton år och tog hand om mer än 140 barn.
