How can we make sense of violence in the Bible? Joshua commands the people of Israel to wipe out everyone in the promised land of Canaan, while Jesus commands God’s people to love their enemies. How are we to interpret biblical passages on violence when it is sanctioned at one point and condemned at another? The Violence of the Biblical God  by L. Daniel Hawk presents a new framework, solidly rooted in the authority of Scripture, for understanding the paradox of God’s participation in violence. Hawk shows how the historical narrative of the Bible offers multiple canonical pictures for faithful Christian engagement with the violent systems of the world.

Helen McNeil is a vet in the small rural town of Broadview. While taking evasive action from a dull girl at a party one night she falls over and fails to recognise national sporting hero, Mark Tipene. For some mysterious reason Helen never really grasps, Mark finds this charming and appears the next day at the front counter of the vet clinic to ask her out. A whirlwind romance follows and everything is going swimmingly until one little hiccup changes everything. Chocolate Cake for Breakfast is the funny and heart-warming story of the pros and cons of dating a man whose shirtless picture adorns a wall in every second lunchroom in the country, of calving cows and crazy cat ladies, and of doing your best when life takes an unexpected turn.

A beautifully written, funny, and heartwarming novel about a young woman returning to her hometown, where she falls in love with a wonderful man and experiences much more.

As a first-time published author, I never knew how God would use me to tell my life's story; to share the hurt I did to others as well as the hurt that was done to me. As I wrote about my life, the ups and downs as well as the pain and suffering, the memories started to come back like a flood and there were so many emotions. In those emotions, I knew God wanted me to share and be transparent about my journey in this world. Some may read my book and think I shared too much about my parents, being adopted, my life of abuse, sexual relationships, men in my life, how I woke from surgery paralyzed and more. While others may read the same content and be encouraged knowing that they are not alone. I too have experienced and felt what they have. No matter what, no matter the opinions or judgment that may come and no matter how anyone may feel, my mission is to save millions of souls while I am living. At the end of the day, the souls are all that matter and I intend to do exactly as God has told me to do. I am claiming healing from life's trauma because all things work out for the good of them that love the Lord and are called according to His purpose. I know my hardship has a purpose as well as me and my life.
