Psalm 95:7a - "For He is our God" Secularists and even many Christians view the God of the Bible as a powerful tyrant, bent on always getting His way. They believe that He is powerful, true, but there is no fondness or admiration in their eyes toward their Creator. They see only what they want to see, the negative aspects, and they refuse to look deeper into scripture to find out what He is truly like. Those of us with the courage to look beyond the point where others stop are met with a much different God. In a sense their is no way for us to describe God. He is far too great for us to even begin to wrap our minds around Him, and that's okay. It's enough to know that He is our God, and we are His people. He loves us deeply, deeper than any human could ever begin to imagine. He knows everything about us, and He holds us in the palm of His hand. He is your God. He is my God. He is our God.

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".

Emma Black is just your average pastor's daughter, a little quirky, a little shy, and very passionate about her friends and family. Over spring break of her senior year of high school, she flies to Florida to spend time with her ailing grandmother and wily grandfather. What she doesn't plan on, however, is meeting a handsome stranger who may or may not be her favorite musician incognito, or her matchmaking grandparents, who are determined to find a husband for her before school starts again. Along the way Emma will meet a persistent young gardener with a secret of his own, go on several adventures, and smuggle doughnut holes into a nursing home. It's a wild romp of everyday problems mixed with crazy relatives and drooling boxers. What's a girl to do?
