Can two damaged people find love again? Or will they let the damage keep them apart? Douglas Lendell doesn't do romance anymore. After his wife abandoned him just four months into their marriage, he buried his heart behind a fortress of work, routine, and resignation. For eight years, he's convinced himself that love just isn't in the cards-until he meets Trish. Vivacious, warm, and impossible to forget, Trish isn't like anyone Douglas has ever known. She feels like fate, like hope-but she also has a reputation: the town's "runaway bride," the woman who left her fianc at the altar with no explanation. Trish has a secret-one so heavy, she's sure no one could love her if they knew. So she runs. And when Douglas gets too close, she runs again. What follows is a series of funny, frustrating, and painfully human missteps as these two damaged hearts try to learn how to trust, to love, and to finally let someone in. Just when they finally get it right, Trish's secret comes to light-and it may be more than love can survive. Trish's Secret is a romantic comedy with a twist of drama, a dose of mystery, and a whole lot of heart.

Much of the soulfulness of culture and the arts has been lost in the modern industrial age. Fortunately great soulfulness can still be found in a perhaps surprising place: the Bible.The Most Soulful Book demonstrates why the Bible is the most soulful book of all, due to the high value it places on life and love and its diagnosis of the human condition.The soulfulness of the Old Testament is examined through the prophets, the wisdom books, and the Psalms. The life of Christ and its soulful qualities is discussed, as well as the New Testament letters and their gospel of love.This is a book for lovers of great soulfulness who may or may not be familiar with the Bible and its hidden treasures. It delves beneath the fa ade of religion to reveal the tenderness within.
