KATHY KELLER

Estoy cansado de oír charlas sentimentales respecto al matrimonio. En las bodas, en la iglesia, en la Escuela Dominical, mucho de lo que se dice no tiene más profundidad que lo que podemos leer en una postal comercial al uso. El matrimonio es, sin duda, muchas cosas, pero nunca mero sentimentalismo. El matrimonio es verdaderamente algo maravilloso, pero tambien algo muy duro. En el matrimonio, hay gozo y potenciacion, pero tambien sangre, sudor y lagrimas; derrotas que nos enseñan humildad y victorias que nos dejan exhaustos. No conozco ninguna pareja que, a las pocas semanas de casados, puedan hablar de su matrimonio como un cuento de hadas hecho realidad. Por eso, no ha de sorprendernos que la unica frase de referencia en el conocido discurso de Pablo en Efesios 5 sea la que encontramos en el versiculo arriba citado. Hay dias en los que, tras agotadores esfuerzos por tratar de llegar a un mutuo entendimiento, lo maximo que se puede hacer es suspirar y reconocer que ¡El matrimonio es un profundo misterio!. Son muchas las veces en las que nos encontramos perplejos ante un puzzle que no sabemos como resolver, en un laberinto del que no sabemos salir.

Lord Jonathan Trenholme is accustomed to wealth, power, and privilege. When he is exiled to Virginia in 1753, due to a royal scandal, he views the colony as being one step from barbarity and his banishment a punishment worse than death. Feisty tobacco farmer Callie Hastings does nothing to disabuse him of the belief when he has the fortune--or misfortune--of crossing paths with her. When she is forced to stand trial in Williamsburg for a crime she did not commit, she ably defends herself, and the case against her is dismissed. But Callie does not go quietly. She delivers a stinging indictment of English justice, angering the Court and ending up in Trenholmes custody--much to both their dismay--until she can tender a proper apology to the justices. Later, she manages to create an uproar among the men in the town when she takes it upon herself to inform women of the few rights that they may not be aware they have. Inundated with complaints, the Royal Governor convenes the General Assembly to figure out what to do about her. She is not doing anything illegal. What they decide will not sit well with Trenholme or Callie.

Widowed and left penniless by her husbands bad investments, Boston socialite Devon Wainwright is facing another loveless marriage arranged by her controlling mother, when she receives notice of an inheritance from a little known aunt. In defiance of her mother and filled with romantic notions of the west from dime novels, Devon sets off for Blue Springs, Colorado, to lay claim to her legacy and a new life. If she had known what awaited her, she might have stayed home. From the minute she steps off the stagecoach in Blue Springs, her New England society values clash with the lax morality and lawlessness of the western frontier, and she finds nothing romantic about the lack of decorum and modernity in the former mining town. On top of that, she discovers that her aunt had been harboring a shocking secret. Neither does Cort Templeton resemble the dashing hero of her dime novels. Though undeniably an imposing figure, Devon finds his no-nonsense, taciturn manner disconcerting. For his part, Templeton is somewhat amused by her unrealistic expectations of the west, but he has no time to entertain the pretty redheads complaints. He has a little matter of an outlaws vendetta against him to concern him. But when strange and alarming things begin to happen, he is forced to consider that perhaps Devons "wild imaginings" may not be so wild after all. Over the course of events, harrowing and surprising, they both come to realize that one cant judge a book by its cover.

Merchant sea captain Reese Thackeray is a man of order and accustomed to being in command. In his perfect world, everything and everyone has a place--except, it would seem, Marin Sutton. And he soon learns that he does not command her when there is a disagreement over his contract. The green-eyed beauty is not the naive woman he, at first, takes her to be but is annoyingly smart, clever, and, to the methodical Thackeray, much too bold. Marin is quite certain, however, that the charismatic, darkly handsome captain is every bit the condescending, chauvinistic cad she takes him to be. Unfortunately, he is the most knowledgeable in the ways of the Barbary pirates, and she needs his help on a personal matter in Algiers. When the captain refuses her offer of a contract, Marin does not take "no" for an answer. Her shenanigans ultimately land her in the middle of an international diplomatic crisis, and Thackeray soon discovers that this is just a taste of the lengths to which she will go to achieve her ends, forever upending his ordered world.

North Central Pennsylvania--Solar flares trigger a coronal mass ejection (CME), the strength of which has not been seen in modern times, and it is on target to hit the earth. It will affect the earths magnetic field and cause mass electrical outages and electronic disruptions across the Northern Hemisphere for 72 hours, doing much damage to electrical grids. But the CME will trigger something more than that.Two days into the solar magnetic storm, reporter Kip Stevens is returning home on a country road that he rarely travels and finds a man shot and unconscious lying off to the side. When the man regains consciousness in the hospital, he is disoriented by his surroundings and has no memory of who he is, where he is from, or why he was dressed in period clothes. Intrigued, Stevens teams up with hospital psychiatrist Ericka Porter to uncover "John Does" identity, and they are drawn into an enigma within an enigma that pushes their belief systems to the limit. In a race against time, they must resolve the paradox or their reality may be very different from the one that they know.

Drumfielde, England, 1750--Under a Parliamentary Writ of Enclosure, the Duke of Lyndeforde encumbers the common land the villagers need for their livelihoods. As village lass Rorie Shelbourne plots to stop him, a mysterious, charismatic sea captain from the colonies suddenly appears on the scene to change everything. He claims to have come to conduct trade; his actions say something else. Is he friend or foe? Is he the force the Gypsy woman had warned Rorie to avoid? Is he the sword of vengeance the duke was told to expect? Navigating dangerous waters and the captains seduction, Rorie struggles to learn the truth. In a world where nothing is as it seems, she and the captain play separate strategic games against the duke, made more complicated by the intersection of their goals. But the cat and mouse game they play with each other will have greater consequences. Read "The Homeward Heart." The games are not over in this witches brew of illusion, intrigue, passion, and prophecy.

From the first moment he sees Alexandra Stratford, Logan Drake is intrigued. She is breathtakingly beautiful, but something doesnt ring true about her. She is unchaperoned, conservatively dressed, and rejects out of hand any admirer who dares to approach her. Such is a lady on a mission; such is a lady to be avoided. When it is brought to him that she is seeking to hire a mercenary, he is not interested in the job until he learns who it is she is pursuing. Too late, Alexandra realizes that the bold, brash, and darkly handsome mercenary is not who he says he is, that he has an agenda of his own to satisfy and may be using her to achieve it. He suspects that she is not telling him everything. Neither trusts the other, but as their harrowing quest takes them from a Missouri plantation to a spy ring in the Nations Capital, secrets are unlocked and a love develops, but will it withstand the trial of trust and the test of war?

It is the dawn of the 20th century, a time of technological advances and societal change at a pace the country had never seen before. Electricity, the telephone, motorcars, and skyscrapers excited the imagination; it is the beginning of the modern age. It is also the age of no-holds-barred capitalism where greed and corruption are most always the victors. Ian Douglas had learned how to navigate those waters. As a captain of industry, he knows how to play the game and is the wealthiest, most powerful man in Rossburg, Pennsylvania. With his wealth and position secure, he thought he had fought his last battle. He was wrong. He has one more battle to fight, one more war to wage to protect his legacy. But his greatest test comes when a consequence from a past action surfaces to tear his family apart. "Millionaires Row:The Legacy" is a tale of greed, wealth, and intrigue in a ruthless capitalist system, and the poignant story of love and family in a changing society.

In 1868, lumber was in great demand for rebuilding after the Civil War. Rossburg, Pennsylvania was a frontier town abundant in timber. Overnight, small sawmill owners became millionaires, and the boundaries of the inner circle were drawn. By 1877, the golden age of the lumber barons is in full swing. Scottish immigrant and sawmill worker Ian Douglas falls in love with a powerful lumber barons daughter and dares to challenge those societal boundaries. When he is rebuffed, humiliated, and threatened with the loss of his job, he embarks on a ruthless quest for wealth, power, and social acceptance and engages in a dangerous game with the elites that will have rippling effects throughout the community. How much will he pay to play? How much is he willing to sacrifice to win?

Incredibly rich with wisdom and insight that will leave the reader, whether single or married, feeling uplifted. The Washington TimesBased on the acclaimed sermon series by New York Times bestselling author Timothy Keller, this book shows everyoneChristians, skeptics, singles, longtime married couples, and those about to be engagedthe vision of what marriage should be according to the Bible.Modern culture would have you believe that everyone has a soul mate; that romance is the most important part of a successful marriage; that your spouse is there to help you realize your potential; that marriage does not mean forever, but merely for now; and that starting over after a divorce is the best solution to seemingly intractable marriage issues. But these modern-day assumptions are wrong. Timothy Keller, with insights from Kathy, his wife of thirty-seven years, shows marriage to be a glorious relationship that is also misunderstood and mysterious. The Meaning of Marriage offers instruction on how to have a successful marriage, and is essential reading for anyone who wants to know God and love more deeply in this life.
