I have composed the following collection of poetry for more than four decades. This is my second published book of verse. Once again, it has been inspired by people, places, and life episodes that have been a large part of my life. Writing has become a great passion for me, as it occupies such a large part of my life. In this book, I cover several darker subjects from the less popular side of life that I didn’t feature, in depth, in my first book. Working in downtown Denver for more than ten years, I encountered people that were struggling to just survive rather than actually living life. My goal, in compiling this collection, is to present a strong mix of poetic subjects. —Terry L. Rath

Have You Ever Asked, “What Is God’s Will for My Life?” A trusted voice of the Christian faith in spiritual formation and discipleship, deeply shaped by the wisdom of Dallas Willard and St. Ignatius, Trevor Hudson has crafted a “users guide” to discern God’s personal will for our lives. After serving the local congregation as a Methodist pastor in South Africa for almost fifty years, Trevor now lectures, teaches, and offers spiritual retreats both locally and internationally. Over the years this question about discerning God’s will is one that he has heard again and again. In Search of God’s Will creates a biblical imagination around the concept of discernment and provides practical ways to discern God’s personal will for your life, ultimately helping you to become the unique person God wants you to be. You’ll be equipped and encouraged in your faith on how to: align your heart with the heart of God, attune yourself to your calling, listen to God in Scripture, pray the Scriptures, pay attention to the movements of the Spirit in your heart, uncover and exercise your God-given giftedness, notice God’s presence and activity in daily life, engage in sacred conversations with trusted companions, make faithful decisions, take the initiative when God seems silent, and more. Each concept includes a ‘discernment exercise’ so that you can experience what you are learning. If you have ever wondered about God’s personal will for your life, how your desires and God’s desires intersect, and how God is present and active around you, In Search of God’s Will can help you catch glimpses of what it means to become the person that from eternity you were destined to be.

Have you ever wondered what it might be like to travelas one big, happy familyover one thousand miles in a motor home? Simon Bennett did more than think about it: He decided to do it. It all began when he and his wife, Emma, adopted a dolphin and a polar bear as gifts to give to their twin children on their eighth birthday: Jessica and Jacob. But the determined Jessica simply had to see her adopted dolphin, which the family learned was named Sundance and lived in the Moray Firth in the highlands of Scotland, which is hundreds of miles away. (Fortunately, Jacob wasnt as determined to see his adopted polar bear in the Arctic - yet!). Simon had but little choice to start researching, and he found a great campsite book that became his reference source to plan an expedition in a motor home to see some of Scotlands lochs, coastline, and historic places. Laugh, learn, and celebrate with a family that embarks on an inspiring journey filled with discoveries and adventures they wont ever forget with In Search of Sundance, Nessie ... and Paradise!
