Where does a person find God when life is spinning out of control?

Ryan Coe feels lost. Her marriage is over, her kids are living with their dad, her God-life is silent, and her patience is practically nonexistent. To top it off, her once exciting job as a photojournalist has been reduced to taking pictures of enchilada festivals and B-level actors. But when she arrives at the scene of a crime and sees her son’s face through her zoom lens, her world crashes. Her only mission: to find out who really did this and why they framed her.

But before she can help anyone. Ryan’s got to get her anger in check. She turns to Sullivan Crisp’s Healing Choices clinic, but even that doesn’t go according to plan. Quirky and unusual don’t even begin to describe Sully, and Ryan soon realizes he isn’t the quick-fix therapist she was hoping for. Between his unorthodox counseling and a group of women who are the first real friends she’s had in a long time, Ryan begins to realize it’s not control she’s looking for, but something much more powerful.

With one flash of a camera, Demi’s private life becomes public news. She doesn’t know it yet, but her healing has just begun.

Christian college professor Demitria Costanas had vowed to end her affair with a colleague. But she gives into temptation one last time . . . and a lurking photographer captures her weakness for all to see. Quite literally, she’s the woman caught in adultery. And almost everyone–herself included–has a stone to throw.

Enter Sullivan Crisp, a decidedly unorthodox psychologist with his own baggage. He’s well-known for his quirky sense of humor and incorporation of “game show” theology into his counseling sessions. And yet there’s something more he offers: hope for a fresh start.

Reluctantly the two of them begin an uplifting, uneven journey filled with healing and grace. By turns funny and touching, this story explores the ways humans hurt each other and deceive themselves. And it shows the endlessly creative means God uses to turn stones of accusation and shame into works of beauty that lead us onto the path of healing.

An auspicious debut for a candid yet tender series about pain, healing, and God’s invitation for second chances.

“A story of refining one’s faith in a world of sin and temptation. It just might change your life. It has certainly changed mine.” –Angela Hunt, author of Daughter of Cana

When life seems to conspire against you, how do you find the courage to dive into Healing Waters?

When Lucia Coffey looks at her reflection, she sees fat and failure. When she looks at her sister Sonia, she sees svelte and success. When she looks at God, she sees that divine love can’t possibly be doled out equally. All her life, Lucia has coped by throwing herself into taking care of those who seem more worthy of God’s goodness, and feeding the dreams she has buried alive.

But when tragedy strikes Lucia’s family, she meets Sullivan Crisp–a decidedly offbeat psychologist who is trying to cope with his own shattered past. They form an alliance to try to hold her family together and, in the process, both tentatively dip their toes into the waters of healing. Step by faltering step they wade in, forging an unlikely community and digging deep for the courage to face a lurking danger that could pull them under . . . or remind them what it’s like to dance on the waves.

Today’s mom is faced with the task of helping her 8-to-12-year-old daughter grow up in a society that compels her little girl to grow up too fast. Moms’ Ultimate Guide to the Tween Girl Years gives mothers practical advice and spiritual inspiration that will enable them to see their mini-women into adolescence strong, confident, authentic, and God-centered, even in a morally challenged society–without losing their childhoods before they’re ready.

Sophie’s back with more middle-school adventures! The just-formed film club has brought a new girl into the Flakes’ orbit: Phoebe is witty, fun, and an awesome actress, but then the girls discover she harbors a prejudice against one of their own. When this same girl is accused of theft, the Pops—and even some of the Flakes—are only too happy to turn against her. And when Dr. Peter suggests that Sophie has a Christian responsibility to try to understand Phoebe, Sophie’s ready to throw up her hands. But then the absolute truth dawns: God wants us to reach out to those who are lost—even if it makes us uncomfortable. Armed with insight, Sophie puts faith into action and gains a friend in the process.

Sophie just wants a little bit of privacy. Willoughby’s got plenty of it—but she’s hanging out with a fast new crowd. And when her dad finds out, his harsh punishment shocks Sophie and her friends. What should they do? Whose rules are right?

How can God let bad things happen? Sophie’s baby sister, Hope, is born with Down syndrome, and the Flakes dis her over an annoying new girl. Even her research as medical expert Dr. Devon Downing won’t fix things, but Sophie learns love is at work even when she can’t see it.

Sophie doesn’t see why a rumor that isn’t true should stop her from being Jimmy’s friend—but when even the Corn Flakes start to believe the whispers, she is hurt to the core. Now it’s an open question whether she and the rest of the Flakes can ever be friends again!

Sophie knows how it feels to be the new girl‚Äîdifferent and “weird.” She also remembers needing a friend. When a new girl in class is assigned to Sophie’s drama group, she wants to get to know her. Sophie learns to accept her new friend’s culture. But how will the other Corn Flakes teach others about acceptance if they cannot seem to learn themselves?

Sophie and her friends are all part of an elite expedition. In order to save the world (and their science grades) they are called upon to build an elaborate space station in Fiona’s backyard, and are soon lost in the world of telescopes and zero-gravity. Sophie, however, realizes building that space station is only a small solution to a much bigger dilemma when her friends and fellow astronauts begin to fight. Will she be able to complete her mission and save the Flakes’ friendship before her whole world falls apart?

The Lead. That’s always been Sophie’s role when it’s time to make a new film. But then the Flakes and Lucky Charms start to make plans without even asking her opinion, and Sophie has to figure out more about who she is‚Äîboth in the group and in Jesus’ eyes.

Sophie’s learning about medieval codes of honor in seventh grade honors class—and in life. Sophie’s shaved her head to empathize with a gravely ill friend, but negative assumptions and cruel teasing have her trying to deflect the attention with humor—and wisecracking always seems to land her in trouble! In the meantime, Sophie takes action to prevent another of the Pops’ mean schemes—but to do so, she lies about her friends and loses them as a result. When she finally understands the true intention of a code of honor, Sophie learns another absolute truth: God expects us to be completely honest—especially with ourselves. But if we fail, He forgives us. When Sophie comes clean, her best friends come around. She thwarts the Pops and gains the respect of her teachers, too.

Is this the end of childhood? When a serious illness strikes one of the Flakes, the others can’t daydream their way out of the shocking news. Instead they rally ’round and find that friends‚Äîand faith‚Äîshow the way to a new adventure called growing up.

When future film director Sophie LaCroix visits Williamsburg, Virginia, her imagination sends her straight into the eighteenth century. An unlikely heroine, Sophie’s forced to use her new-found war tactics to foil a heinous plot and save a friend from impending humiliation by the popular girls.

Dads, finally a guide to your tween daughter! This companion book to the FaithGirlz novels, devotionals, and Bibles, focuses on four tween issues: appearance, body and mood changes, girl politics, and authenticity.

Let tween expert Nancy Rue, and her husband, Jim, guide you in helping your daughter live as a girl-child rather than a mini-teenager.

• Empower her in spiritually sound behaviors as the rate of aggression rises among tween females.
• Show your daughter how to not only avoid but take a stand on the twisted parts of her culture such as peer abuse, shallow consumerism, and an unrealistic sense of entitlement.
• Give her alternatives to the toxic media, and encourage her to become part of something bigger than herself through charitable, God-centered activities.
• Learn to model the growth of a deep, personal connection with God, which makes all of the above not only possible, but probable.

In the midst of a world saturated with poisonous role models, it is possible to raise your daughter to be a respectful, confident, God-centered, young woman.
