The Furnace of Affliction: How God Uses Our Pain and Suffering for His Purpose : Horace Williams Jr.
Have you ever asked where God is or what is He doing in your life? Have your trials and suffering felt like they are never-ending? Are you in need of some hope to keep moving forward?
The Furnace of Affliction does not sound or feel like a place anyone wants to be. But here is what I have learned after being in similar situations. God has chosen you to be an essential part of His family. In the fiery trials you are facing, He is there refining, restoring, and renewing you for a unique purpose. “If you have ever questioned God’s love for you when you are suffering, this story will encourage and challenge you.
Horace shares the struggles he has faced and how God uses and redeems our pain.” Sheila Walsh, co-host of Life Today and author of Praying Women.

The Dating Itinerary : Brooke Williams
As if it wasn’t bad enough to be deemed the “most single person” at her magazine’s office, budding reporter Penny has now been tapped to write a series of features called “The Dating Itinerary.” From speed dating to Tinder, old-fashioned matchmakers to up-and-coming “dark dating,”
Penny now has to go on a lot of dates. Silver lining: meeting new people should be fun, right? But running into her old rival, George, at her first dating event is decidedly not. Not only does the arrogant know-it-all have zero trouble attracting women, wherever Penny goes, somehow he just. Keeps. Showing. Up.
Geo knows he’s right on the cusp of writing success with the chance to have his own syndicated column. All he has to do is follow his agent’s ideas for showcasing different dating avenues, and he’ll pull in enough to help his sister’s non-profit women’s shelter get off the ground. Sure, his itinerary is starting to look strangely similar to his old rival Penny’s, but all’s fair in love and syndication, right?
The more they look for love in all the wrong places, though, the more they start to wonder if it was right in front of their noses all along. Still, the brutal dating scene just might end them, if these two don’t kill each other first.

The Steel Road : Edie James
The world is two-sided, but mankind defied the sanctions, conjuring a passage from the Old World through the equatorial ring of flames and inhabiting the elven hemisphere. As this invasive species disseminates, conflict ensues, centuries pass, and an industrial revolution begins. Now, reparations must be made.
A human-elf hybrid is murdered to spark a cleansing fire but denied passage to the heavens. Instead, Dreyah is reborn headstrong and impetuous, but more so than for any other teenager, uncertainty obscures her placement in the divided world. With her elven cousins and human stepbrother, Dreyah seeks revenge for her murder, traversing a land devastated by an old war between her two peoples. And the circumstances highlight her greatest dilemma; she must choose a side in the coming days.
Years ago, the king gifted Kennason to a foreign prince as a bride to bridge the sea between their realms. But after the death of her second husband and a marriage of mutual distaste, Kennason abandons her station to return home. Reunited with family, she grasps contentment and a novel romance. But when abducted by renegade wizards, Kennason uncovers a thread of truth in the fabric of her youthful betrothment; reprisal wove the king’s goodwill overture.
When strange beasts menace the lands, history, prejudice, betrayal, and blood bind the footsteps of this exiled queen and murdered teen on the roadway to war in the first installment of “The Ardent Halo” saga.
Awarded Honorable Mention in the 2018 Reader’s Favorite International Book Award Contest, The Steel Road has been referred to as “a beautifully depicted adventure fantasy” and “a complex coming of age tale ripe with politics, agendas, deception, and magic”.

Endow: A Blood Inheritance Novel : M. Ainihi
On the world of Sumir, the realms were put into place to keep peace by separating the magical races, but what will happen if those barriers collapse?
Picking up where Lost ended, Endow takes Emily, Amanda, and Kiami, on a dangerous trip through the realms.
Amanda is determined to prove that the stones they were given are the very ones from the ancient myth. To do so she may have to divulge a few of her dark secrets. But a powerful storm is on the horizon, one that crackles with magical energy, and it throws them off course. Taking the opportunity to get Emily to accept a leading role, Amanda pushes her at every turn. She needs her to see the warrior that she knows lurks deep inside.
Kiami’s customary optimism is quelled as more truths are unveiled. An encounter with the wizard Bloise may give them answers, but she fears it will cost them too, and even after he explains the source of her inherited powers, she is left feeling like she’s running and getting nowhere.
When Amanda is reunited with her mother, it is not the happy encounter she once imagined. In a world soon to be at war, she realizes their curses were meant to cause the planet’s destruction.
Can they be used for salvation instead?
