We speak of peculiarity, uniqueness, and of being distinct & different. But what does that mean? What does it look like? In a world that seems to be losing faith and hope, we must rise above and continue to share Christ, His message, and His light. Do you know Him? Do you know He is here with us today? Do you know He walks here, serves here, and loves here just as He did long ago? He does all this through each of us. And as we come to know Him more, He will be able to continue to use your small efforts and magnify them into something visibly distinct & different. We hear amazing voices from women all around. But too often they are the same voices. Voices we love voices that teach, voices that lift. But still, something is missing. To be distinct & different, unique, and peculiar, we need to hear ALL voices. Within this book, you will find different voices from women around the world who are rising to our Savior's call! Some voices will resonate with you right now, some maybe not in this season, but a future season. To be A Worldwide Sisterhood we need every distinct & different voice! Whether you connect with a few or all of the voices contained in this book, the main goal of this book is to inspire YOU to understand that you are distinct & different, and YOU are needed! Your voice, your example, your testimony, your faith, and your light is needed right now.

An invaluable resource for parents who hope their little boys will grow up to be the kind of men who know which fork to use, how to treat others, and generally make their parents proud.
Somewhere amid the tangle of video game controllers and muddy sneakers, there’s a nice boy. And somewhere within that nice boy is a gentleman just waiting to emerge. For at least eighteen years, you’ll have the pleasure of coaxing him out, little by little. You’ll make sure he knows how to act at a formal dinner, and you’ll explain to him that answering a telephone should never involve the words “yeah” or “hang on.” And eventually, you’ll be confident that he can react maturely when his team loses in overtime or when he meets a girl he likes. He’ll know which fork to use, how to dress on an airplane, and when it’s appropriate to speak up for himself and others. Let Kay West guide you through his transformation from boy to gentleman, and watch his young life flourish.

The Legend of Forsythia is a magical adventure melding skill and strategy as two foreordained groups rise up to finish what their parents started and end a contrived civil war before the finale can start. The roots of this conflict however, stretch before the planet’s existence, into the Eternal Realms, and this is only the beginning. Covering the present and the past, showing the children and the parents, Foretold is the story of people and families; misunderstanding and being misunderstood, acting to the best of your abilities and falling short.
