She found solace in her work instead, a start-up company forged in the name of helping people like her obtain artificial limbs that could give them a shot at a normal life—or something close to it. Then Carter Murphy walks into her life. Tall, dark, and English, he sweeps her up like a whirlwind, demolishing the walls she’s worked so hard to put up and shaking her to her very core. But as her head spins, it becomes clear that not everything is as it seems—especially Carter. A dark, dangerous secret threatens to tear them apart, a sin so great there just may be no coming back… for either of them. Can Emily escape her past and find a future with Carter, or will she succumb to the pain and doubt she’s worked so hard to keep at bay?Crash - Part TwoIn the wake of a startling revelation, Emily will have to decide if her trust in men died the night her older brother did… After learning Carter’s identity, Emily swears off men—or at least, men who lie to her like he did. But fate has other plans, and soon she finds herself pulled into his orbit again, unable to tear herself away from the potent magnetism of his passion. As tensions rise in both her professional and personal life, she seeks solace in his arms, certain that he is the one thing she can count on. But trust is a delicate thing. Will Carter’s love serve to strengthen it, or will Emily’s painful memories drive them apart?Crash - Part ThreeAfter finally learning the secret that Carter has been keeping from her, Emily dives into her work. Numbers and data are predictable—love, not so much. But even as she tries to steel herself for the explanation Carter has to give, she couldn't have anticipated how those words would make her feel, or how his tenderness would draw her back into his arms once again. For a moment, all seems to be well in both her personal and professional life. But then John makes a shocking discovery that could ruin their business once and for all. Worse yet, someone Emily trusts is in the middle of it all. Unsure of where to turn, will Emily find solace in Carter’s embrace, or will she reach out to find nothing but more lies?Crash - Part FourA shocking revelation propels Emily and Carter headlong into a series of events that will change not just their lives, but everyone else’s, forever. Now that the truth is out, the battle against PharmaTech begins in earnest, and that means putting everything on the line. With the memory of her brother still weighing on her heart, nothing could be as important for Emily as this—except for Carter, who has changed her life and made her whole in ways she was never expecting. When his future is threatened as a result of her actions, she must make a choice to set him free or keep him for herself, despite the consequences. Can she be so selfish, or will she sacrifice her happiness to ensure his own? One final truth will be revealed. But will it be enough to save them?

    But Gari Meacham writes that we fall short of being desperate for God, or we miss the longed-for romance with God we hear about in scripture.  We're uncertain how to distinguish our longings from our fears.  When, says Meacham, did our longings turn to hauntings? And when did we buy into the counterfeit yearnings for control, and the insecurity, perfectionism and other attitudes that quench Spirit Hunger?The answer to Spirit Hunger is to engage God like never before. In this book Meacham shows through her story and the stories of others how to turn worry into belief, problems and heartaches into a life of intimate prayer, and sighs for intimacy into closeness with God.  She discusses her discoveries about prayer including why asking is sometimes hard, how we can notice and track God's movements as we seek his answers, and why it’s sometimes such a struggle to believe after we've prayed.Meacham writes, "With the authenticity of my own life stories--marriage to a professional baseball player, struggles with severe food bondage, and a father who was a quadriplegic--I came to the crisp realization that my prayer life and my belief needed to match. Spirit Hunger provides a clear path towards matching these heart cries--leading away from crumbs and counterfeit, to a hungering for God."

    But should we accept them as historically accurate? What evidence is there that the recorded events actually happened?Presenting a case for the historical reliability of the Gospels, New Testament scholar Peter Williams examines evidence from non-Christian sources, assesses how accurately the four biblical accounts reflect the cultural context of their day, compares different accounts of the same events, and looks at how these texts were handed down throughout the centuries. Everyone from the skeptic to the scholar will find powerful arguments in favor of trusting the Gospels as trustworthy accounts of Jesus's earthly life.

    Is it possible this difficulty is because we're trying to speak a language we haven't actually spent time practicing?To become fluent in a new language, you must immerse yourself in it until you actually start to think about life through it. Becoming fluent in the gospel happens the same way--after believing it, we have to intentionally rehearse it (to ourselves and to others) and immerse ourselves in its truths. Only then will we start to see how everything in our lives, from the mundane to the magnificent, is transformed by the hope of the gospel.

    It is written for theological students, ministers, and laymen, who desire to understand the modern attitude to the Old Testament as a whole, but who either do not have the time or the inclination to follow the details on which all thorough study of it must ultimately rest. These details are intricate, often perplexing, and all but innumerable, and the student is in danger of failing to see the wood for the trees.
