CUT THE STRINGS is the true story of a mother who experienced the agony of watching her daughter walk away from everything right and good, ending up in a life of degradation and shame while each of them lived in their own reality.   It is also the story of a daughter's desperate search for a life of fulfillment and acceptance who found herself instead chained in a prison of emptiness, addictions and despair. Best of all, it is a story about GOD, the one who relentlessly pursued a willful young woman, protected her life, and sustained a family through it all.   Co-authored by Sharon and her daughter, Amy, CUT THE STRINGS offers a life line of encouragement and hope to parents who are heartbroken and hurting over their wayward and rebellious children.   "Cut the Strings, in my judgment, is a must read...

‘Out of the Dark #1’  We are temporary. Finite. The choices we’ve made, the people we have loved. Who we used to be no longer matters. Because now it is all about the ending. And the ending always comes too soon. There’s fear in the dark. And behind every drop of light, the shadows creep and the darkness comes in the form of clawing, red-eyed monsters. They hunt us—stalk us…they are desperate to destroy us. But I have a reason to fight the darkness and everything in it. A small glimpse of light that lives within my golden-haired daughter, Lilly. She is my strength. She is my everything. Every life is an untold story, each scene unfolding until the final act. But our ending has yet to be written, and I will continue to protect us, until I can not.

Odium IV The Dead Saga  The Dead aren’t the only thing to fear…  A kid, an old lady, and a heartbroken man…what could possibly go wrong? Mikey is holding true to his promise to Nina, and is doing everything he can to keep the group alive. But when something attacks the threesome in the middle of the night, things begin to take a turn for the worst.  Luckily a new group—the N.E.O.s are on hand to ease Mikey’s burden and help fight alongside him. But first he must prove his worth to the leader Aiken and the people that follow him. Within this new group, Mikey begins to find a form of peace that he didn’t think was possible after losing Nina, and he discovers his place within this new world. A place where killing isn’t for fun, and is only ever committed as a last resort. His heart is still aching, but at the end of the world there’s no time to stop and mourn, and as he searches out a Circus Freak Show and the horrors begin to stack up around him, Nina slips far from his mind. It’s probably best, because there are many more terrors in store for him. Because within the folds of a small town, inside an old candy store, he meets a woman named Clare, her two dogs and something that he never saw coming.

Small-group leaders have the incredible honor to create safe spaces for group members to grow. Together, small groups learn more about God, the Bible, and each other, and that’s incredibly meaningful ministry. At the same time, leading a small group can be challenging. Handling messy group dynamics, like spotty attendance or people who talk too much, takes a little know-how. Facilitating discussion well—without letting the conversation veer off course—isn’t always easy. The Small-Group Leader Training Program is designed with you in mind. We want to give you a firm foundation so you can lead with confidence. This Participant’s Workbook will guide you through the training videos, and it includes engaging discussions and activities. You’ll learn the purpose of small groups, how to be a healthy leader, how to lead great meetings, how to invest relationally in group members, and how to handle messy group situations. Done with other leaders, this program will effectively equip you to lead a healthy small group. For the rest of the Small-Group Leader Training Program, visit: www.smallgroups.com/go/leadertraining

Cultural heritage professionals have high levels of training in metadata. However, the institutions in which they practice often depend on support staff, volunteers, and students in order to function. With limited time and funding for training in metadata creation for digital collections, there are often many questions about metadata without a reliable, direct source for answers. The Metadata Manual provides such a resource, answering basic metadata questions that may appear, and exploring metadata from a beginner’s perspective. This title covers metadata basics, XML basics, Dublin Core, VRA Core, and CDWA schemes and provides exercise in the creation of metadata. Finally, the book gives an overview of metadata, including mapping and sharing.
