Rona Shively has been thinking a lot lately. Her mind is going in about a million different directions and for good reason. What starts out as a meeting with a potential client ends up being the title sequence for a whole series of messes that make absolutely no sense. She's trying to keep herself calm, but given the circumstances she'll be doing good just to keep herself out of jail and...out of the morgue.

The past couple of years have been rough. At times, Rona has felt so much despair that she's wondered if it was all worth the struggle. Just as she is beginning to see a light at the end of the tunnel, another catastrophe strikes. Blindsided by the devious plans of an unseen enemy, she fears she may lose the only thing she has left: her daughter. Not one to stand down from a fight, Rona begins preparing for a battle that absolutely must end in victory. Though her connection has been a little weak lately, she prays that God will send her an angel to help her defeat her enemy.

In May 2015, the Earth wrote me a letter and told me to start a blog! Since then, I received more letters from the Earth which are encouraging, uplifting, and challenging. During our growing ecological crisis, this audiobook provides a fresh voice of Gaia/God, who calls us to slow down and take time to appreciate the miraculous nature of all and to awaken to needed changes to avoid environmental destruction.

From Terra's accepted definition of an oasis, Jesus is offering his followers a fertile place to grow and be life for others. At the heart of the book, Jesus is calling his church to walk in maturity and demonstrate the fruit of the kingdom. While the mirage is offering similar looking things, they only come to enslave us to lies brought forth by darkness masquerading as light. Terra sets a foundation for the oasis available to us in Jesus Christ through strong use of the word of God, so we can contrast it against the mirages all around us.

On one side is a dominant narrative the author believes is universal, which he calls our human "fear story". On the other side is the competing narrative that is also universal called God's "love story". Love's Resurrection: Its Power to Roll Away Fear's Heaviest Stone is the author's account of how human fear stories, including that which now dominates the mood of today's United (yet deeply divided) States of America, culminate in what he calls Great Awakenings of nation, church, and ourselves as individuals.

Man Made by Grace is a play on the concept of how to become a man of God and the grace that God has given to man. Acknowledging Christ in 1993 was a decision that at the time I believed that I did on my own, for myself, but nothing could have been farther from the truth. It is and was the awesome love of God that drew me into awareness of the need, but it was the foundation of love that prepared me for his grace.

For Rona Shively, even the good news is bad news. She's just returned from an extended stay in her hometown of Clarkston, Ohio, and she's all geared up for a change. The only problem is that when the notion of starting over begins to sink in, she's compelled to rethink her enthusiasm. For a distraction, she starts working on a case for a 15-year-old girl that throws her into a mess of problems she can't even begin to deal with. In true Rona Shively fashion, she digs in deep and soon finds that this girl's problems run much deeper than a gumshoe of mediocre talents can handle.

Maybe you and I have been there where Jesus was. Abandoned by others at the very time we craved connection. Misunderstood in terms of wanting to be with others and not “just left alone” to get over it by ourselves. Maybe we’ve entered our own age of loneliness. Maybe we’ve felt as if we, too, were sweating blood while others were off taking it easy. Maybe we’ve had our own Gethsemane moments.
