Amy Wallace, Healing Promises

Filed under: Uncategorized — Christa Allan @ 2:45 am

AMY WALLACE…….HEALING PROMISES

Facing a new threat
When FBI Agent Clint Rollins takes a bullet during a standoff, it might just save his life. But not even the ugly things he’s seen during his years working in the Crimes Against Children Unit could prepare him for the overwhelming powerlessness of hospital tests revealing an unexpected diagnosis. If only Sara weren’t retreating into doctor mode…he needs his wife now more than ever.

Frozen in fear
Sara Rollins is an oncologist with a mission–beating cancer when she can, easing her patients’ suffering at the very least. Now the life of her tall Texan husband is at stake. She never let the odds steal her hope before, but now the question of God’s healing promises is personal. Can she hold on to the truth she claimed to believe?

Faith under fire
As Clint continues to track down a serial kidnapper despite his illness, former investigations haunt his nightmares, pushing him beyond solving the case into risking his life and career. Clint struggles to believe God is still the God of miracles. Especially when he needs not one, but two. Everything in his life is reduced to one all-important question: Can God be trusted?

If you’re in your 20s, here’s a GPS to keep you ditch-free

Filed under: Writing and Wreading — Christa Allan @ 2:32 am

Note from Christa: Four of my five children are traveling down Route 20-Something. Along the way, they’ve experienced their share of fender-benders, road rages, missed exits, traffic snarls, and speeding tickets. When I heard about Erin’s book, I couldn’t wait to read it. And I’m not disappointed. How could you not, as a parent, appreciate Erin’s “Things I Wish I’d Seen as Handicaps Sooner” when they include: regretting the past, wasting the present, and wishing on the future.

Read on. I’m on my way to order some books. I’m leaving enough for all of us!

MEET ERIN MARSHALL

My love for all things written goes back further than I can recall. I emerged from the womb with bookmark-shaped birth announcements in hand and cut my teeth on worn volumes of the Happy Hollisters.

The clincher hit about the time I began losing those baby teeth: I discovered Nancy Drew and there was no turning back-I was going to be a writer. My favorite way to escape the haze of a suburban Chicagoland summer was by heading off to the library for an injection of River Heights, sporty roadsters, and chums Bess and George. Life was a story in progress, and I couldn’t wait to turn the page for the next adventure.

Raised in Chicago’s western suburbs, Marshall graduated from Taylor University in 1994 with a bachelor’s degree in English writing and a minor in mass communications. Soon after college, she began freelance copy editing and proofreading before joining Tyndale House Publishers as a creative/development editor and eventually as a content editor. Her experience at Tyndale included product development for ABA and CBA specialty markets, writing devotional and Bible study material, writing cover and marketing copy, compiling content, managing manuscripts from the concept through publication stages, and editing fiction, nonfiction, juvenile Bibles, and gift books.

Marriage in October 2003 brought Marshall to beautiful northwest Arkansas where she freelance writes and edits in a dream environment for the creative juices. She is an active member of a nondenominational, Bible-based congregation of several thousand with a diverse ministry scope in one of the country’s fastest-growing regions.

She has written for several church publications and has been part of the women’s ministries leadership team.

Those who share the passion know the excitement that bubbles inside at the discovery of the perfect blend of words to make an image leap off the page, invoke a tear, or nurture a smile. Writing and editing are in my blood; they are undeniable quests that fill each working hour with intrigue and purpose. To this day the scent of old bindings and well-worn pages is my favorite aromatherapy.

“All stories have something in common: They teach us to dream and reach out for more than what’s easily visible to the eye. So here I am, living my dream every day. And I still can’t wait to turn the page to see what’s next.”

NAVIGATING ROUTE 20-SOMETHING

In her latest release, Navigating Route 20-Something, Marshall shares openly and honestly about what she wishes she had learned in the years after college. “Shoulda, woulda, coulda” might be a catchy phrase, says Marshall, but no one wants a life marked by the bygone hopes it embodies: “Shoulda risked, woulda quit comparing, coulda loved better.”

We emerge from the teens facing ten years chocked full of greater privileges, potential,and promise than we’d previously known. But as Marshall reveals, those years are also laced with less glorious experiences, such as greater fears, greater expenses, and greater mistakes as we learn firsthand how to work this thing called adulthood. With candid depth, Navigating Route 20-Something motivates readers to live thoughtfully and purposefully to make the most of these defining years and avoid common regrets.

In recent years, the popularity of GPS devices has risen dramatically, with navigation systems now available in hand-held devices, cell phones, and as a standard feature in many new car models. It makes logical sense—no one likes to be lost. But young people today face challenges that are much more serious than simply missing a turn on the way to the mall. A few poor choices could land them in places they never wanted to be.

So where can young adults find help for navigating the twists, turns, and roadblocks of life? Speaking candidly, Erin Keeley Marshall looks back on her journey through “route 20-something” as she shares what she wishes she had learned in the years after college.

“God holds the map with the best route to get us to our ultimate destination, both in this life and for eternity. While his pit stops along the way may appear as abrupt intrusions in our carefully routed geography, there is no dead ground on his road map of life.”

TUESDAY NIGHT AT THE BLUE MOON: Meet Debbie Fuller Thomas

Filed under: Writing and Wreading — Tags: Christian fiction — Christa Allan @ 2:17 am

An Interview with Debbie Fuller Thomas

Your story is about a mother whose daughter was switched at birth. How does Marty find out that her child was switched?: Marty’s daughter, Ginger, is the victim of a fatal genetic disease, Neimann Pick Type C, which often strikes every sibling in a family. Marty is concerned for her other 2 daughters, and when it’s determined that she and her ex-husband are not carriers of the disease they know something’s not right.
Where did you get the idea for your story?: My inspiration for the book came straight out of real life from a news story I heard about two families fighting over switched-at-birth babies when one child is orphaned. Of course, the circumstances and setting in my story are different, and the characters are completely fictitious. But I knew it would be a heartbreaking dilemma for any parent, especially for one who had suffered through the death of a child she thought was hers.
Do you have a favorite character?: I would have to say Andie, because even at 13-years-old, she doesn’t become a victim. She’s a little quirky, and she’s had to mature quickly. Even though she’s developed an attitude toward God and her situation in general, she keeps it to herself most of the time, and we understand her need to vent occasionally.
On what level do you think women will identify with Marty, her biological mom?: I think most moms would understand the panic of discovering they had the wrong child, and the guilt at not realizing instinctively that something was wrong all along. On another level, Marty is a caregiver who sets aside her own dreams to nurture her family. As women, we often set aside our dreams out of necessity, guilt or lack of support from our families, but like Marty, we don’t have to abandon our dreams completely.
The story is set at a drive-in movie theater. What led you to choose that setting?: I think there’s a nostalgic winsomeness about drive-in theaters and I want to encourage families to take advantage of the few drive-ins that are still in operation. I remember the smell of hot coffee when my mother poured cups from the thermos, and falling asleep in the backseat with my pillow and blanket. There’s a sense of intimacy and togetherness that comes from being alone with your family, even though hundreds of other people are watching the same movie. I also used the run-down condition of theBlue Moon Drive-in as a reflection of the relationship between Marty and Andie and of the condition of their spiritual lives when they first meet.
What is the meaning behind the title: Tuesday Night at the Blue Moon?: Tuesday night is family night at the Blue Moon Drive-in. Andie needs a family, and the desire of Marty’s heart is for her dysfunctional family to be a whole again.
Who are some of the other interesting characters in your story?: Andie is sandwiched in the birth order between Winnie, the needy younger sister, and Deja, an older teen who is bitter about the situation. Some interesting dynamics that take place when the three of them interact, especially when mom has to work long hours and there’s too much unsupervised together-time.
What is the message that you would like your readers to take away from Tuesday Night at the Blue Moon?: I believe that God is our Father and that we were created to commune with Him on a deep level, but sin orphans us. When we’re open to it, God is ready and willing to re-claim and restore us as his children.
How did you begin your writing career?: I operated a home day care for 6 preschoolers when my children were young, and I was in desperate need of a distraction to keep my sanity. So I began to write a novel during their naptimes. I finished it in about 2 years. It was my ‘practice novel’ which gave me confidence and helped me plot the blueprint for Tuesday Night.
What advice would you give to someone starting out as a writer?: Don’t quit. I sold the first article I ever sent to a publisher and didn’t sell another thing for 19 years. It’s not going to happen overnight. It’s an apprenticeship – a craft to be honed. When you’re tempted to give up, remember the encouraging things other writers, agents or editors have said about your writing. If God has given you some talent, what acceptable excuse can you give Him for not using it? “I am passionate about good fiction, the kind that grabs you and won’t turn loose. My hope is that my characters will capture you and that you will consider my stories old friends with whom you visit often.” Debbie Fuller Thomas is available for interview

Words are sometimes composed of other words. The word dustbin consists of dust plus bin, while together may appear to include three separate words: to, get and her. To reverse the process, which word can be made out of the letters in the three words moor, root, and tow? The answer (or at least, one answer) is tomorrow. In the puzzles below, try to find the eight-letter words which can be made from the letters of the sets of three words.

Example: Soon, sun, toil.
Answer: Solution.

1. Riot, rite, tone.

2. Agent, gnat, stage.

3. Filth, hot, tool.

What’s a parent to do when enough isn’t enough for adult children? Read on.

Filed under: Writing and Wreading — Tags: Christian nonfiction, parents — Christa Allan @ 2:43 am

A special opening message from Allison Bottke: The interview that follows has been personalized for every blog I’ll be visiting during the month of April. I want to thank Christa for taking the time to read my newest non-fiction book and for sharing it here today on the Setting Boundaries April Blog Tour. You are helping to spread the word about a topic that desperately needs to be addressed—with a message already striking a chord in hearts around the nation.

Our country is in a crisis of epidemic proportion concerning adult children whose lives are spinning out of control—leaving parents and grandparents broken-hearted and confused. This painful issue is destroying individuals, families, marriages, churches, and communities. I believe in my heart that you are reading this message today for a very specific reason. Do you know someone who has an adult child who is always in crisis? An adult child who brings chaos to virtually every situation? Could this painful issue be touching your life today?

If so, there’s a truth I’ve come to embrace that has changed my life—it can change yours, too. It’s taken me more years than I care to admit, but I no longer believe in “coincidences.” The truth I’ve come to embrace is that God is the Master of orchestrating “God-cidences.” He has a plan for who he wants us to meet, what lessons he wants us to learn, even what books he wants us to read. He even has a plan for the trials and tribulations of life.

When we begin to look at everything that happens to us throughout the day as “God-cidences” (and not accidental coincidences) it changes the way we view our world.

That said, my prayer is that you will see the following message and the book; Setting Boundaries with Your Adult Children: Six Steps to Hope and Healing as a “God-cidence” placed into your life today for a powerful purpose. Perhaps it’s to help heal your family or the family of a loved one. Perhaps you are here to help us introduce this resource to a broader audience via additional media contacts you may have. Whatever the “God-cidence” may be, please know our primary goal is to bring hope and healing to families around the nation—thank you for helping us do that.

I pray you will view what you are about to read as a “God-cidence” meant just for you.

God Bless and Keep You,

Allison Bottke

The book comes out of your own personal experience with your son. Please tell us about that.

ALLISON: For years I really thought I was helping my son. I wanted him to have the things I never had growing up. I love my son, and I didn’t want him to hurt—but sometimes pain is a natural result of the choices we make. For a long time I didn’t understand the part I was playing in the ongoing drama that had become my son’s life—I didn’t understand that I didn’t have to live in constant chaos and crisis because of his choices. When I chose to stop the insanity and start living a life of hope and healing my life changed. It’s a feeling I want other struggling parents and grandparents to experience. I want other parents to know that change is possible when we choose to stop the destructive cycle of enabling. And we can stop it. I know, because I’ve done it.

Why do you think so many parents struggle with enabling their adult children?

ALLISON: We don’t understand the difference between helping and enabling, that one heals and the other hurts. We don’t realize that we handicap our adult children when we don’t allow them to experience the consequences of their actions.

How can we determine whether we are helping versus enabling our children?

ALLISON: Helping is doing something for someone that he is not capable of doing himself. Enabling is doing for someone things that he could and should be doing himself.

An enabler is a person who recognizes that a negative circumstance is occurring on a regular basis and yet continues to enable the person with the problem to persist with his detrimental behaviors. Simply, enabling creates an atmosphere in which our adult children can comfortably continue their unacceptable behavior.

What are some of the most common ways that parents enable their children?

ALLISON: Being the Bank of Mom and Dad, or the Bank of Grandma and Grandpa. Loaning money that is never repaid, buying things they can’t afford and don’t really need. Continually coming to their rescue so they don’t feel the pain—the consequences—of their actions and choices. Accepting excuses that we know are excuses—and in some instances are downright lies. Blaming ourselves for their problems. We have given too much and expected too little.

What is the ultimate goal of Setting Boundaries?
ALLISON: While recognizing and identifying enabling issues must come before positive change can be made, it is the eventual peace and healing parents will feel as they gain power in their own lives that is the goal of this book. It’s a tough love book for coping with dysfunctional adult children, as well as getting our own lives back on track, Setting Boundaries with Your Adult Children empowers families by offering hope and healing through six S.A.N.I.T.Y. steps. I walk parents through a six step program to regaining control in their home, and in their life.

From the opening pages, you are very candid in your own struggles to set boundaries with your adult son, in a section titled “Why I Had to Write This Book.” Why did you feel the need to be so open so quickly?

ALLISON: There are many good books available on boundaries. Most of them are written from the perspective of a psychologist, therapist, counselor, or theologian. Never in my years of searching for help did I find a book on boundaries written by a parent in pain who had walked in my shoes. I wanted readers to quickly understand that this book was different.

You say that enabling our children is “a nationwide epidemic with catastrophic consequences.” What has led you to believe this?

ALLISON: There is clearly an epidemic of major proportion plaguing our nation today. This has become obvious to me as I travel the country sharing my God Allows U-Turns testimony and outreach. Seldom does a week go by when I am not approached by someone in deep pain concerning their adult child. It’s not just audience members in conflict with this troubling issue, but fellow authors, speakers and entertainers, some quite well known, who are living in the throes of familial discord concerning out-of-control adult children. It’s happening all over the country to people from all walks of life.

ALLISON: I encourage your readers to tell me what they think about Setting Boundaries with Your Adult Children. I really do want to hear reader feedback. They can reach me at: SettingBoundaries@SanitySupport.com. Please be sure to visit our web site at http://www.sanitysupport.com/blogtourguests.htm where they will find additional resources for helping them on their road to S.A.N.I.T.Y. Remember to tell a friend in need and help save a life!

Quotables from Setting Boundaries with Your Adult Children

On Enabling…

Many of our adult children have retreated from the trials and tribulations that not only test their faith but would also stretch them in ways that would develop their character, prove their mettle, and give them a sense of achievement. Consequently, many adult children have no idea what they’re truly capable of accomplishing. They’ve never really tried to move ahead with confidence and be all they can be. (pg. 35)

On Letting Go…

Setting our adult children free to live the lives God intended them to live is not abandonment—even if it means setting them free during a time of severe trial and tribulation in their lives. (pg. 57)

Our money must cease being the life preservers that buoy up our adult children, keeping them afloat through yet another storm. We might be amazed at just how well our adult children can swim when giving the opportunity to do so. More important, they just might be surprised at their own ability to survive without life support, a powerful lesson that no amount of money can purchase. (pg. 107)

On Healing and Restoration…

We do not parent as those who have no hope. We have a God who watches over our children—if we’ll just get out of His way and let Him do the restoring. Restoration is such a promising word to parents in pain. But to get to restoration, we must start with the truth of where we are. We must be honest. The truth is that those once-innocent children grew into the jaded and unmotivated adults they are today under our parental watch. And now we find that one huge step in the restoration process is to honestly see our adult children for who they really are now, not as we remember them in their Kodak moments. (pg. 72)

Healing often comes through pain first. Physical therapy is painful, but it’s always conducted for our own good. So too are God’s plans always meant for our good—even when we can’t understand them. (pg. 172)

MEET JANE KIRKPATRICK AND HER NEW NOVEL

Filed under: Uncategorized — Christa Allan @ 2:53 am

Jane Kirkpatrick is the best-selling author of two nonfiction books and fourteen historical novels, including the popular Kinship and Courage series. Her award-winning writing has appeared in more than fifty publications, including Sports Afield and Decision.

She’s won the coveted Western Heritage Wrangler Award, an honor shared by such writers as Larry McMurtry and Barbara Kingsolver. Jane is a licensed clinical social worker as well as an internationally recognized speaker. She and her husband, Jerry, ranch 160 acres in eastern Oregon.

The Change and Cherish series follows the story of feisty Emma Giesy

A Clearing in the Wild

Spirited young Emma Wagner chafes at the constraints of her 1850s religious community, which values conformity over independent thought, especially in women. Skeptical of the colony’s growing emphasis on preparing for “the last days,” Emma clashes with their increasingly autocratic leader-and faces the unexpected consequences of pursuing independence.

A Tendering in the Storm

This lyrical novel, based on an historical figure of the 1800s, follows the spirited and intelligent Emma Giesy, who achieves her goal of separating her family from the repressive religious community in which she grew up. But unexpected and dire consequences leave her family-and her faith-struggling to survive.

A Mending at the Edge

This richly textured novel, the third in the acclaimed Change and Cherish series, follows the historical figure of Emma Wagner Giesy, who chafes under the restrictions of her 1860s religious colony. When her bid to belong in her unique way unravels her most precious relationships, she seeks new ways to stitch meaning into her life.

Martina McBride – In My Daughter’s Eyes (LIVE)
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eLS0Y40WwlA]

This is my daughter Shannon; she and her twin sister Sarah just celebrated their 25th birthdays. Their older sister, Erin, had a birthday in March, and she got a lot of blog time here. Shannon and Sarah, not so much. And I’m guilty as charged.

I thought about that a lot today, but thought mostly about Shannon and how she’s spent twenty-five years being known as: the twin who didn’t have Down’s Syndrome (DS) or the sister of the twin with Down’s Syndrome. Not that Shannon has ever, ever, ever made that an issue. The very fact that she never made it an issue, I’ve always thought, is her quiet recognition of being grateful for who she is and, yet, feeling guilty for being grateful.

When the twins were born, I didn’t find out until the next morning that one was born with DS. I fell asleep Easter Sunday dreaming of my twin daughters in their twin smocked dresses in their twin stroller. I woke up the next day to a reality that pushed twin smocked dresses to number 2,786 on my list of things that needed to be handled.

Sarah required a great deal of care her first year; three pneumonias, a Life Flight, a 60-mile ambulance ride, surgery, a feeding tube. I spent so many days and nights at the hospital, those months of their lives are a blur. So much of Shannon’s life that first year was told to me in phone conversations. Not long after Sarah was discharged, I was out with the girls in their twin stroller, their sister Erin, 3, and brother, Michael, 5, somewhere in the vicinity. People would immediately be drawn to Sarah, cooing over her, asking about her health. Certainly expected. But I remember Shannon, her wispy blonde curls framing her little face, her sweet smile, bright eyes–watching. She had a way of measuring situations and people even then. Her expression serious and, yet, curious, but there was an unmistakeable wisdom in those eyes.

Shannon was spry and wiry, and loved her pink “babing suit”; so much so that she wore it constantly. One day she and I were caught in a quickly passing, but drenching rain. She jumped up and down crying until we reached cover, upset because her “babing suit” was getting wet.

In the past twenty-five years, Shannon and I have found ourselves entangled in several dramas more complicated than a wet bathing suit. Clearly, this isn’t the appropriate forum to air them. I mention that only to emphasize how much I cherish the relationship she and I now share. Her sense of humor is so sharp, she could be a one-woman comedy act. And that wisdom I saw in her decades ago, has blossomed. She’s a beautiful young woman, ad I dearly depend on her for fashion advice, cosmetics consultation, and people perceptions. She reminds me so much of my mother in that way she has of seeing through someone’s mask.

Yes, Shannon’s experienced life in ways that Sarah will. But Shannon’s also acutely aware of that fact in ways that Sarah never will. And I wanted Shannon to know that I’m aware, too, of the times she’s stepped back so that her sister could step forward.

So, Shannon, this one’s for you. Just you.
