The world had transformed during his time spent in Southeast Asia. The poodle skirt was replaced by the mini, work jeans had become flowered bell-bottoms, and the beatnik had morphed into a hippie. The foliage was replaced with concrete and the bamboo with high-rises. As a cop, Bobby encounters the best and worst of humanity. Later in life, as he reflects on his career as both a cop and a prison chaplain, he knows that his greatest challenge is yet to come-facing Death Row inmates inside San Quentin State Prison.

Can a taste of love cure the scars of yesterday?Single mother and baker Eden Lambert arrives in quaint Village Green looking for a home for herself and her 18-month-old son, Jake. Her warm welcome by her elderly hostess, Mary Jo Piermont, is offset by the cold disdain of Mary Jo's self-appointed protector, Joe Wolfe. At first, the long-legged blonde and her kid look like trouble to Joe. Mary Jo saved the builder's life years ago, and he will do no less for the woman he considers a surrogate mother. But as he keeps an eye on the unwanted guests, Joe's suspicions soon become replaced by admiration and respect for Eden's resolve and dedication to her son. With his background of abuse and abandonment, Joe is aware of the dangers facing the vulnerable and wants better for Eden and Jake. He offers her a business arrangement-he'll build her a bakery, and she can run it. As they join forces to start the bakery, can they overcome the scars of the past to find a recipe for love?

Nothing is more important than our relationship with the Father. But we are a weak, frail, and floundering people. At times our wandering seems endless, and our prayers repetitive and empty. The void within our hearts burns for fulfillment and the desire to feel worthy for a deeper relationship with God cries out. This is when we call to Him. "Meet me where I am, Lord. I must start but the mountain seems too high, the cliffs too steep. I am at the foot, scraping my nails into the rock and reaching." To know Him better, we understand we need Him to take a willing heart in hand and begin at the bottom. In these ninety-days of reflection, you will meet God where you are. Meet Me Where I Am, Lord is a refreshing way to enter the throne room and feel the touch of an ever-present God.
