New Fiction Release ‘Discovering Abigail Rutherford’
With her head in her hands and a troubled heart, Abigail Rutherford sits on her bed contemplating her father’s words. An arranged marriage? At eighteen-years-old, she has just returned home from boarding school and is uncertain what to do with her life. But Abigail’s parents have decided for her—they have arranged for her to marry someone she knows little about, and loves even less.
In desperation, Abigail escapes from the confines of her upper-class home and plunges headlong into an unknown future. Who will befriend her? Where will she live? Will she ever see her parents and her beloved younger sister again?
Discovering Abigail Rutherford is set in the 1880s, in Grand Rapids, Michigan. After leaving the security that wealth brings, Abigail embarks upon a new life in a farming community, where she finds the meaning of true friendship, hard work, faith, and love. But as a new Christian, she faces another dilemma: remain with her new-found friends and her heart’s love, Justin, or return home at God’s leading. While Abigail contemplates her options, the decision is unexpectedly made for her.

Lois Johnson, with Cheryl Courtney Semick, recently published her new book Gary’s Rock and Cheryl had some comments about it:
We ABSOLUTELY LOVE our Gary’s Rock book from Pleasant Word!!!! Everyone is so thrilled and excited about it and says it looks so professional, they would’ve never guessed it was self-published! I am so pumped I can’t wait to see my own in print!
About the book:
Sudden death ambushes unsuspecting souls, leaving gaping holes and unanswerable questions. Gary’s mom, Lois Johnson, faced such news on June 9, 1976, when her fifteen-year-old son drowned just a block from their home in Lake Santa Fe, Metamora, Illinois.
Such tragedies happen every second, yet few end in the joy that the Johnsons found by trusting in God’s master plan for their lives. Are you ready for sudden death? How will you handle the instant loss of your schoolmates, parents, children, or neighbors? Do you know where you’re going if your life were to end today? Gary’s Rock will help you find answers to these questions and more.

“Dr. Gilliam has done an exemplary job of taking an abstruse subject and making it both pellucid and pragmatic. My gifted colleague uses a plethora of verses in his task of laying out the reparenting principles.”
—Dr. Frank Minirth from the Preface
One of the seminars that Dr. Larry Gilliam leads is called, “Reparenting: A Re-opportunity to Have a Happy Childhood!” He refers to it as the most remarkably transforming of all his seminars. This workbook contains the heart of the material which Dr. Gilliam uses in that seminar.
Reparenting provides people the opportunity to work through and grow beyond certain deficits from childhood, which have followed them into adulthood, and may be causing them to back into the future focused on a painful past.
Deep inside you, there is a part of you that still thinks, feels, and reacts like a child. This is true because time alone does not heal all the wounds of childhood. There are actually steps and a process you must go through to nurture and heal the child within you. This process is called reparenting, and this workbook is the first of two volumes designed to walk you through it.
Too often, a child will repeat a dysfunctional pattern. Reparenting offers tools to abate this pattern. Just as God helped the Israelites of yesteryear with the concept of moving beyond the past, God can help us today.
