"Glimpses: Two Stories of Hope and Healing"
Prayer Point Press, 2011, 978-1-57892-064-8

Her words offer a calm reassurance that cancer need not be the end of hope but can be the beginning of a new season of faith and a new opportunity to embrace all that is dear to us. The journey of two friends may end very differently, but they share the same destiny. Jan's story will motivate readers to face life with determination and courage. www.glimpsesofhope.org

Wes Stafford
"Just A Minute"
Moody Press, 2012, 978-0-8024-0472-5, $19.99
How long does it take to make a difference in the life of a child?
For good or for ill, individual moments in a young person's life can make all the difference in their future. It may be something said or done by an adult who hardly thinks about it: a hug, a compliment, an intriguing question, a sincere applause. But in that moment, the child discovers who they are, what is important to them, why they matter, and sometimes even what their destiny will be.
You don't have to be a teacher, a parent, a pastor, or a doctor to make a difference in the life of a child. You only have to be willing!
