Agnes never expected to receive grace from the man whose pockets she had just picked. When Henry Watson offers her honest employment as a downstairs maid in his household, her determination to survive shifts to a resolution to prove her loyalty and worth. But the past is a hard enemy to lose, and it soon comes back with a vengeance, sending Agnes across the seas to the convict settlement of Hobart Town, Van Diemen's Land, Australia. Though not before she leaves a lasting impression on the master of the house. Henry never imagined this woman from the streets could undo him so completely. When Agnes Archibald crashes into Henry's orderly life, he finds himself shaken, questioning societal expectations and wrestling with his faith and God's will for his life. But when Agnes is convicted for a crime she didn't commit and sentenced to transportation, Henry isn't willing to let her go without a fight. Even if it means leaving the only life he knows. An epic adventure of love and loss, facing fear, and embracing the wonder of God.

A 15-Day devotional inspired by the book of Malachi. Welcome to the Worship Desk. This is a place for us to meet together, in the presence of God. I pray both our hearts will be ready and aligned with He who calls us to raise our pens as swords and to write to the glory of God and for Kingdom purposes.This is not a book necessarily on writing so much as it is an invitation to worship through the craft. It is an invitation to be inspired by Scripture and to surrender our plans to the One who knows the end from the beginning.For the next fifteen days, you and I will explore what it means to write as worship and we will write as worship. I am holding my hand out to you, eager for you to join me on this pilgrimage. On this journey, we will encounter both Old Testament and New Testament writings. We will embrace the power of storytelling. Most importantly, we will open our hands in surrender and open our hearts in worship to the Lord of Heaven's Armies.I will be here for encouragement when you need it-as will our guide, the prophet Malachi-but ultimately, writing as worship is bringing your heart and your hands to the Worship Desk and being open to what the Lord wants to do with them.
