St Louis

So...this past week, I snuck away to St Louis to meet with the ACFW boards and conference team. Planning, meeting, planning, meeting....well, you get the drift! But, I DID manage to grab a few minutes with friends and some photos were snapped. Thought I'd share some with y'all! :)

With Kristen Billerbeck

Torn from the front lines of medical debate and the author's own
experience with Lyme Disease, Over the Edge is riveting fiction, full of
twists and turns—and powerful truths about today's medical field.

Janessa McNeil’s husband, Dr. Brock McNeil, a researcher and professor
at Stanford University's Department of Medicine, specializes in tick-borne
diseases—especially Lyme. For years he has insisted that Chronic Lyme
Disease doesn't exist. Even as patients across the country are getting sicker,
the committee Brock chairs is about to announce its latest findings—which
will further seal the door shut for Lyme treatment.

One embittered man sets out to prove Dr. McNeil wrong by giving him a
close-up view of the very disease he denies. The man infects Janessa with
Lyme, then states his demand: convince her husband to publicly reverse his
stand on Lyme—or their young daughter will be next.

But Janessa's marriage is already rocky. She's so sick she can hardly move or
think. And her husband denies she has Lyme at all.

Welcome to the Lyme wars, Janessa.

When Kim Hartlinger—eighteen and spoiled—arrives on a mission trip to Mexico and discovers, to her chagrin, that she’ll be doing construction in a remote village without plumbing and electricity, rather than evangelism in a medium-sized town with a fast food joint . . she has only two choices. “Rough it” (which isn’t exactly what Kim had in mind when she signed up for this trip) or turn around and head home.

Will Kim be able to touch the villagers’ hearts with the Gospel? Or will her time in Mexico be up before she gets the chance?
