Created for Someone

Christian Living

The third in a series that began Working Your Way Through Life and It Takes Two to Tangle, Created for Someone follows the pattern of breaking down a topic into multiple easy-to-read chapters with an expectation that the book would be read a little bit each day, although it could be read through in a single sitting.
Although designed primarily for married people (since they could begin applying these truths immediately to the marriage they are already in), Created for Someone is also appropriate for unmarried people, and several of the chapters were written with single people in view. It is also a good resource for people who expect to be married one day. It certainly doesn’t hurt to know what the Bible says before embark on the path to a marital relationship. In fact, most married people who learn helpful things about marriage wish they had learned it earlier than they did.
So whether you need some pre-marital counsel, assistance with a marriage on the rocks, or perhaps something in between, you’ll find solid foundational teaching within the pages of this book.

Road Trip

Christian Fiction – Contemporary

Ah, Spring Break! That annual rite of passage when thousands of winter-weary college students flock to Florida’s renowned beaches for two weeks of sun, sand, surf, and suds, and perhaps a bit of shenanigans. There’s Panama City Beach, the Spring Break Capital of the World. Further south there is Miami, with its glitz and glamor and shopping. Or South Beach, where the party never ends.

But for three poor college students who actually live in Florida, the idea of ditching the state altogether and heading west for an epic road trip is too enthralling to pass up.

Charlie, Jamal, and Sean have it all figured out. If they take one car, scrimp on meals, and take advantage of relatives along the road, they can make it to San Diego, California and back home to Gainesville, Florida in two weeks on $300 each.

3 friends.
$300 Each.
