From Hope to Higher Ground

 From hope to higher ground--that is Mike Huckabee's slogan as a 2016 presidential candidate. If we ever needed a President who takes a strong stand on crucial issues dear to God's heart, it's now! 

So much is at stake in our country. Our very freedoms. 

I believe Mike Huckabee is the man for the job. He takes a clear and definitive stand, drawing the line in the sand. We need that kind of man to preserve a great America for our children and grandchildren. 

On this Memorial Day weekend when we remember so many who gave their lives for freedom, we need to support a candidate who believes in a strong military. 

Will you follow the link to learn more about what Huckabee stands for and how he would lead America?

Losing a Baby

It's a topic few of us like to talk about, let alone write about. Losing a baby shouldn't happen, yet for many, it does. I was one of those women who was left with empty arms and aching heart.

Through my struggle, I journaled my thoughts and feelings. For myself. And later for others who might find comfort in my words. 

What resulted was a small gift book titled Jesus, Hold My Little One: Healing Prayers for Women Who Have Lost a Baby. 

Based on my journal entries, I penned a collection of genuine, heartfelt prayers that promote healing after the loss of a baby. In the great tradition of the Psalms, I crafted prayers with which every grieving mother can identify: prayers that express shock, denial, anger, guilt, confusion, uncertainty, ultimately leading to acceptance, trust, and wholeness. Also included are prayers for the woman’s husband, other children, extended family, church family, neighbors, and doctor. Since faith shines the brightest in times of testing, underneath each prayer of struggle flows an undercurrent of abiding hope, worship, and surrender to God’s plan and purposes.

Have you or someone you know lost a baby? Perhaps this gift book might offer some hope and healing. Check it out at the following locations:

Breathing is fundamental to our survival, yet how many of us walk around practicing shallow breathing and don’t even know it? As vital as breathing is to our physical well-being, spiritual breathing is even more important. But often we practice shallow breathing in this area of our lives, too. With more focus, we can learn to breathe deeply God’s life-giving and life-sustaining grace each day.

Breathe Deeply God's Grace, a devotional spanning from Genesis to Revelation, can help you reflect on God’s Word, receive His grace, and then release it to those around you.

Out of the Mouth of Gabe is the culmination of almost two years worth of collecting cute kid quips by Grandma Eileen. On scraps of paper. On napkins. In journals. And yes, even on her hand. At all times of the day and night. In the car. At a picnic. In the back yard.  

No matter where they were or what they were doing, grandson Gabe had much to share. Some of it witty, and some of it downright funny. You know what the Bible says, "Out of the mouth of babes . . ." 

Well, in Eileen Rife's case, it's out of the mouth of Gabe. 

Enjoy this collection of endearing and often thought-provoking kid quips!

Healing Prayers for Women Who Have Lost a Baby

Based on her own journal entries, Eileen Rife pens a collection of genuine, heartfelt prayers that promote healing after the loss of a baby. In the great tradition of the Psalms, Rife crafts prayers with which every grieving mother can identify: prayers that express shock, denial, anger, guilt, confusion, uncertainty, ultimately leading to acceptance, trust, and wholeness. Also included are prayers for the woman’s husband, other children, extended family, church family, neighbors, and doctor. Since faith shines the brightest in times of testing, underneath each prayer of struggle flows an undercurrent of abiding hope, worship, and surrender to God’s plan and purposes.

Here's what Writer's Edge Service has to say about Jesus, Hold My Little One . . .

This has the potential to be a very helpful resource for many in need of just such a book. Eileen Rife has done a good job of including key issues and covering most of the questions asked by those enduring such a heartbreaking experience. We congratulate her on refusing to shy away from the most difficult questions of all.

I'm also still a part of the OakTara family with several titles submitted for publication. Wit & Wisdom from the Wee Ones is one of those titles. Since OT is a small trade press, it often takes time for the publishing process to unfold. I'll keep you posted when this title is available!
