Several new books have recently been added to the Media Center that you will enjoy!
What would you do if you lost everything—your job, your home, and the love of your life all at the same time? When it happens to Alan Christoffersen, he’s tempted by his darkest thoughts. A bottle of pills in his hand and nothing left to live for, he plans to end his misery. Instead, he decides to take a walk. But not an ordinary walk. Taking with him his barest necessities, Al leaves behind all that he’s known and heads for the farthest point on the map: Key West, Florida. The people he encounters along the way, and the lessons they share with him will save his life— and inspire yours. A life changing journey, both physical and spiritual, The Walk by Richard Paul Evans is the first of an unforgettable series of books about one man’s search for hope.
The second book in the Walk Series is Miles to Walk by Richard Paul Evans and is inspiring, moving, and full of wisdom. A vicious roadside stabbing has interrupted Alan’s trek and robbed him of his one source of solace: the ability to walk. Homeless and facing months of difficult surgery, Alan has nowhere to turn—until a mysterious woman enters his life and invites him into her home. Generous and kind, Angel seems almost too good to be true, but all is not as it appears. Alan soon realizes that before he can return to his own journey, he must help Angel with hers. This is an astonishing tale of life and death, love and second chances, and why sometimes the best way to heal your own sufferings is by helping to heal someone elses.
The book A Watershed Year by Susan Schoenberger is a well told tale of life and death and the way, when we least expect it, love can encompass us roundabout. The author takes us to the softer places of the heart where love—in all its forms and glory—transforms grief into grace. With subtle humor and grace, A Watershed Year draws out the ways in which our closest relationships can be imperfect and yet continues to transform us.
You’ll find these waiting for you in the FBC Media Center!!
