Today's episode is a deep dive into the newest Tabor Heights re-release, "Behind the Scenes."

If you've explored other Tabor Heights novels before, you'll notice that the stories are like moving to a small town: you meet some people, learn their stories, and they tell you about other people's stories. When you visit Tabor Heights, the stories overlap, and you hear about other stories from other books in the series.

In this case, the events in "Behind the Scenes" appear in many of the books of Year One, when Joel and Emily Randolph, owners of Homespun Theater, are in a horrific accident. Their church and community rally around them -- and paparazzi invade Tabor Heights, when the world learns what happened to Emily Keeler, rising starlet, after she vanished from Hollywood 25 years before.

At the same time the crisis strikes, Max's best friend and writing partner, Tony, realizes that he cares about Max much more than as a best buddy -- but with all the chaos surrounding the theater and family and their writing career, HOW does he tell her he wants a happily-ever-after like what they put in their books?

Emily's past catching up with her threatens to derail her daughter Max's blossoming screenwriting career before it gets off the ground. How? Read or listen to the book to find out!

Join co-publishers Tamera Lynn Kraft and Michelle Levigne as we chat with author Theresa Miller about her recent release, The Posture of Victory: Finding True Peace amidst Our Everyday Battles .

How do you walk in victory when your head is spinning with defeat?

As Christians, we are anointed with the power to walk in victory in our everyday lives, relationships, and callings. While we understand this, in theory, the challenge lies in how we walk in victory when we feel overwhelmed by feelings of defeat, such as anxiety, depression, or betrayal.

Based on Psalm 63, this six-week study addresses how we can achieve peace found through Christ’s victory in our everyday battles and come out on the winning side. Each verse provides the framework for adhering to the One who upholds us through the wilderness and leads us to an abundant life in Christ.

Experience Psalm 63 like never before and learn how David positioned himself for victory in the face of heartbreaking opposition.

By the end of this study, you will be equipped to proclaim your victory confidently and thrive in your God-given anointing.

Sit, Stand, Walk, Run—A Vocabulary for the Christian’s Journey is a compilation of 46 reflections on the different stages characterizing the believer’s faith journey. These stages, or postures taken along our Christian journey, range from “Waiting,” when God may seem inactive in our lives, to “Mountaintops,” experiences that are a spiritual high point. Other reflections include “Baby Steps,” as we begin our faith journey, to “Stumbling and Falling,” when we sin. Like doctors, architects, police officers and others engaged in specialized activities, theologians too have their own specialized vocabulary. But ordinary lay people don’t have to have formal training in theology to benefit from knowing and using the “journey-related” terms in this book. Having a richer vocabulary that describes our Christian journey enables us to better understand our ever deepening relationship with God our Father. Sit, Stand, Walk, Run provides the reader with that expanded vocabulary.

Join editors Tamera Lynn Kraft and Michelle Levigne as we chat with one of the new members of the Mt. Zion Ridge Press family, Harriet Michael, about her new book, STUCK IN THE MIDDLE.

Harriet speaks from experience, as she chronicles the adventure of Hannah, a little girl who thinks there's nothing special about her, because she's not the only son, or the oldest daughter or the baby, she's "just Hannah." She gets the hand-me-downs, and has to share her bedroom.

In a touching story, she asks her parents isn't there anything special about her? And they show her that yes, being "stuck in the middle" is special too!

The daughter of missionaries, Harriet has fascinating stories to tell, and we at Mt. Zion Ridge Press look forward to hearing more from her in the future!
