Michael Dunnagan was never supposed to sail on the Titanic, nor would he have survived if not for the courage of Owen Allen. Determined to carry out his promise to care for Owen’s relatives in America and his younger sister, Annie, in England, Michael works hard to strengthen the family’s New Jersey garden and landscaping business.
Annie Allen doesn’t care what Michael promised Owen. She only knows that her brother is gone—like their mother and father—and the grief is enough to swallow her whole. As Annie struggles to navigate life without Owen, Michael reaches out to her through letters. In time, as Annie begins to lay aside her anger that Michael lived when Owen did not, a tentative friendship takes root and blossoms into something neither expected. Just as Michael saves enough money to bring Annie to America, WWI erupts in Europe. When Annie’s letters mysteriously stop, Michael risks everything to fulfill his promise—and find the woman he’s grown to love—before she’s lost forever.

I pray that this book will encourage you and challenge you to be thankful for everything. –Daniella, from the Introduction

He can compromise his new Christian beliefs – or turn teammate Dan Litton, Coach Brayshaw, and the entire student body against him. Maybe for good. And how will he win any of his secular friends to Jesus that way?

A More Confident You: Discovering Your True Value by Jonathan Ness
132 pages, 2 of 2 reviews are 5-star, Lending Enabled
Do you struggle with hating yourself? Have you ever thought your relationships, job, accomplishments, and religion should make you feel more satisfied than they do? Have you ever wondered why it’s still so easy for you to be judgmental or why people don’t respond to you the way you’d like them to? Perhaps most importantly, do you want to see a real, lasting change in your life?
This book will tell you why having confidence really matters (it’s not for the reasons you think), contrast the world’s definition of confidence with true confidence, and give you the 5 core truths about confidence. You’ll also learn where our lack of confidence comes from, the 11 steps to become confident, and several pitfalls to avoid. Finally, there is a short section for those of you who are not just unconfident, but earnestly hate yourselves. It’s called Slaying the Dragon, and if you are one of these people, you probably know what I’m talking about.
I started this book as a Christian with almost no self-confidence. I made a promise to myself that I would not publish it unless the principles in it worked wonders for me. My story is in it, along with a number of analogies, Bible verses and examples, and some hard-hitting questions and statements. It’s changed my life completely. I hope it does the same for you.
