Cover Art by Kuro Tenshi Via @HeavenChaliceLove Main Scriptures: As long as it is day, we must do the works of him who sent me. Night is coming, when no one can work. [John 9:4] Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter. [Isaiah 5:20] Teaser/Synopsis: Ten years have passed since Emily boarded a jet in her native America, bound for Manila and her mission work in the Philippines. Emily found not only her life calling to serve God and spread His love and gospel in this Asian island chain, but also her lifetime love in Paulo, native Filipino from the capital city. Now Emily was sensing a strong call from God again. He began to plant the seeds of her next assignment, which would lead her -- home. Paulo began to sense it as well. Soon, it became inevitable. Emily was to return to America with her husband Paulo. America was not the same country she left just a decade ago. It had long been in the process of becoming a materialistic, secular, and pagan nation. And in recent years, things had only gotten worse. Especially for Christians. It seems that almost any faith, or no faith at all, was acceptable in the new America -- except for Jesus Christ. Into this environment, Emily and Paulo land in America with God's mission of sharing he love of Jesus. What will the two missionaries face as they begin to preach God's Word in a nation now hostile to the gospel? Follow Emily and Paulo as they travel through the United States, experiencing adversity, uncertainty, persecution, but also the undiminishing love and favor of God in ways they never imagined. Through people that they least expected. Please pray for this work. Now, enjoy!! :-)

Rylyn Delson's life has been pretty predictable for the past eight years after her mother's death. She's gotten used to her dad being "clingy". But when life takes a turn for the unexpected, Rylyn has to face the reality of the world alone, with no one who understands. God understands, doesn't He? What good is He planning to come out of this anyway? Meanwhile David Ark and his wife, Mirissa, are just a Christian couple adjusting to their new lives in the town of Riverside. Getting to know the teens firsthand as a Youth Minister, he discovers the shy, only child girl with a hard past. Soon after gravitating toward her, tragedy strikes her hard. When they take her in, both of them go through hard times themselves. But God's ways are higher than our's, right? Told from the two perspectives that resemble a father-daughter relationship, they not only discover hidden truths of the struggles but also try to learn to take on unwavering faith. {Started: September 2014 Finished: February 2015} (Picture credit to legit-faith.com)
