Eighty percent of those who walk the Earth today believe in some form of life after death. Teachings, ideas, opinions, and even reports on near-death experiences are as varied as the flowers in my garden. Whether it be streets of gold or gravel, heavenly beings clothed in white robes and sandals, or jeans and sneakers, mansions or tents, it is my belief, and conclusion, that in the next life there awaits for us everything good and nothing bad. If you can imagine a world where all is love, you can imagine Heaven. And chocolate? As a young woman of ninety-nine reminded me, chocolate contains amino acid and that is what we produce when we're in a state of elation, like love. So I guess we can say, where there is love, there is bound to be chocolate!

Through quiet times with God, Im hypnotized by the crashing waves on the beach and the sandpipers scurrying along the shore, digging for sand crabs. I take in a deep breath of the salted ocean air, where traces of sweet suntan lotion still linger; all these wonderful blessings have helped me manage to put together some supplications in the form of this beach devotional. In this book, I have incorporated my own personal experiences with differences such as love and hate, truth and deceit, along with many others. Ive matched these differences with Scripture and my own personal beach photography. I pray that the Scripture will help you deepen your relationship with God and the devotions and photos bring you closer to Him.

A new home. A new life. To have both, she must outlast a bitter storm. Once Chris fought for her country. Now she’s fighting for her faith. And she’s about to fight for her life. This is no mere storm. It’s a deluge of catastrophic proportions. Swollen by record rains and a ten-inch snowmelt, the Willamette River is hammering Portland, Oregon, with the flood of the century. In Chris McIntyre’s heart, a different kind of flood—a rising torrent of emotions—threatens to sweep her away from the community of Kimberly Square. Her newfound faith keeps her from running. But how can she stay? Her push-the-limits personality may have made her a perfect soldier, but it sets her apart from the people at her church. And it sets her at odds with Scott Mathis, the husband of her closest friend, Erin. Fearing for Erin’s safety, Scott resents his wife’s high-risk friendship with Chris. But when Scott and Chris are forced together to help Kimberly Square residents ride out the storm, a different, equally lethal danger descends on them. Death or redemption rest in the hands of one person—a woman with a warrior’s heart.
