I Don’t Know Who I Am Anymore: Restoring Your Identity Shattered by Grief and Loss
Author(s): Carole Holiday
Publisher: Thomas Nelson
Price: $2.99       (Ends Oct 13)

No stranger to heartache, Carole Holiday artfully braids together her story of overwhelming loss with biblical insights and delicious recipes from the little cottage on the lane–the cooking school she once owned. Carole’s journey offers hope that after the ravages of grief and despair, God can bring good back to life through faith, food, and fellowship.

How do you survive when everything that gave meaning to your life suddenly disappears? Grief can spark the question, God, when will you see me? Carole Holiday has weathered heartbreaking loss and the despair that whispers, “I don’t know who I am anymore.” Through her trials, including divorce, job loss, and heart surgery, she has learned that deep grief carves space for a deeper ability to love.

Readers who have been shredded by suffering, who have lost hope in God or in life being good again will

unpack what it means to be made in God’s image;
learn how to redirect doubts and despair toward a God-filled identity and purpose;
understand that loss offers an enormous capacity to feel more deeply;
discover that even though rejected by those they most loved, they still matter to God; and
be reminded of the truth that sadness and faith are not mutually exclusive.

In her unique, lyrical writing style, Carole shares her story of grief and explores biblical teaching that offers a God-given purpose after pain. As an extra dose of comfort, she seasons her story with savory recipes from a cooking school she once owned, where she learned firsthand the healing that takes place around the table. Carole’s humor and warm encouragement gently remind readers that God has good for them–even in a season of severe loss.

The Gift of Limitations: Finding Beauty in Your Boundaries
Author(s): Sara Hagerty
Publisher: Zondervan
Price: $1.99       (Ends Oct 13)

“It’s all too much.”

(You can’t do everything. And you weren’t made to do everything.)

For anyone who feels overwhelmed and unfulfilled. For anyone buried under mountains of laundry and fielding too many bills. For those with too many appointments and too many open tabs in your browser. For those of us who go to bed exhausted, too tired to enjoy a few minutes with our thoughts, and resenting our limitations, bestselling author Sara Hagerty offers a lifeline of hope and the possibility of peace.

What if your greatest weaknesses are your doorway to rich intimacy with God? What if your limitations are, in fact, your greatest gift?

With poetic voice, gentle validation, and deep spiritual insights, Sara will help you see how the boundaries of your life circumstances—your limitations—can bring about spiritual growth and satisfaction you’d never experience otherwise. The Gift of Limitations will help you explore how to:

Recognize when you are pushing yourself too far and find your way back to realistic expectations of yourself.
Discover how God sees weakness, in His Word, and how He has used the weaknesses of His people throughout all of time.
Understand what embracing your limits looks like in everyday life.
Dream again while remaining tethered to God’s best story for you.

Learn how to see the beauty and peace God provides amid all your life circumstances, and find the deep spiritual growth you can experience through your limitations–the ones that aren’t changing (the ones you once thought held you back).
