Everything was falling apart. In everything give thanks. Everything works together for good. Jesus is my everything. In this heartwarming collection, twenty-one Christian authors weave tales both historical and contemporary in a variety of imaginative settings. Everything features lovable characters: a homeless orphan, a reminiscing mother, an agent juggling fatherhood, a wary teenager and his dog, a terrified housebound woman, and a pair of Sherlock Holmes-obsessed orphan twins on a mission. Learn the spiritual lessons of an old car, a mission trip tragedy, a lonely grandmother's box of Christmas ornaments, and a graphic designer's work worries. Smile and weep with a wife bereaved by war, a taxi driver and his ministry, a sweet child with a terminal diagnosis, and chronic illness warrior who learns to bless others. Catch the vision of hope in everything captured in two inspiring poems. Rejoice with a faithful, trusting relative with an uncertain future, sympathize with a health-challenged gardener-wannabe, cry with a family separated by war, and decide who struggles more with birthday party planning: two loyal pixies or a young mother and her mischievous dog. Warmth, hope, and encouragement pervade the pages, echoing the theme of "everything" from a refreshing plethora of angles that are insightfully entertaining, spiritually profound, and eternally valuable. These short pieces will delight and encourage the whole family. Featuring stories and poetry by Rebekah A. Morris, Erika Mathews, Angie Thompson, P.D. Atkerson, Katja H. Labont???, Bethany Griggs, Bethany Willcock, Cassie Creley, Sandralena Hanley, A. F. Kopp, Analise M. Martin, Jae Fisher, Bree Pembrook, Elisabeth Joy, E. N. Leonard, Lilly Wiscaver, Hannah E.
