Hope Evermore: Quotes, Verse, & Spiritual Inspiration for Every Day of the Year

Is it possible to have peace amid problems, quarrels, hardships, and disappointments? If by peace you mean spiritual calm, then yes. But how is it done? How can I feel peace when it seems my world is crumbling? How can I be calm facing significant hardships? First, understand that lack of problems does not guarantee peace. You can want for spiritual calm while existing in entirely calm circumstances. But if circumstances do not determine personal peace, what does? Try looking beyond your problems, beyond this moment in mortality. God does not shield us from every grief and trial in life; He allows hard experiences to happen. From them we learn and grow. Peace is not the result of avoiding trials, but the result of understanding and accepting their essential purpose in our progression.
Remember, problems are temporary. We are eternal.
Peace comes from knowing God is aware of our lives, and that the trials we face serve a vital purpose in our eternal progression. As long as we live on this earth, quarrels will continue, hardships will arise, trials will never cease. But peace can be ours if we turn to God, trust Him, and remember that earthly troubles are a temporary means of valuable experience. They are lessons that will shape us now and serve us throughout eternity.

Summary:
VENGEANCE IS A MONSTER OF APPETITE, FOREVER BLOODTHIRSTY AND NEVER FILLED.
Tarishe is a modest village surrounded by fortress walls meant to keep out one thing: werewolves. In truth, the wolves are scarcely bothersome and seldom seen excepting one night a year when a blood-red moon appears. This full Tarishe moon never fails to herald the arrival of an entire pack of hairy beasts, drawn to the village like greedy dragons to golden treasure.
It is difficult enough to protect a young family in this world of dangerous creatures, but such a feat proves near impossible when an old witch bent on vengeance casts a curse that manipulates both heart and mind. The battle for survival is not only with a sword but an internal struggle to love those the curse has targeted for hatred, and to hate the one who through evil enchantment manipulates her enemy’s affections. How long will it take to learn that the old monster, vengeance, is insatiable?
This Tarishe tale is a thrilling piece of fiction told from the Queen of Werefolk's point of view.

Summary:
ANNABELLE, THE GIRL WHO WAS OVERLOOKED, UNWANTED, INSIGNIFICANT, WORTHLESS.
Annabelle Fancher lives with her mother and her often-absent, alcoholic father. When he is not on the road, his presence at home creates heightened anxiety in his wife and daughter—fear caused by years of abuse. Annabelle copes with her circumstances by escaping into popular fairy tales where she dreams characters to life. When her dreams cross over into waking fantasies, and the ghostly image of a dreamed character appears before her, Annabelle begins a real struggle to separate reality from pretend and sanity from beautiful madness.
This brave, young girl tenderly acquaints the reader with her lonely struggles while sharing her courage in the face of personal adversity. Hers is a story where realism and fantasy beautifully intertwine.
This fictional tale does an honest job of mirroring the unfortunate reality of many young people whose home lives are private nightmares unobserved by the outside world. Most of the events in this book were taken from the lives of individuals known by the author.

REALITY DEPENDS A GREAT DEAL UPON ONE BELIEVING WHAT HE SEES—OR SEEING WHAT HE BELIEVES. EITHER WAY.
Meet Gavin, a curious young man whose calling it is to guard the gates of his homeland. As a keykeeper, Gavin comes across many outsiders whom he creatively steers away from the borders of his magical world: A world where ogres bowl for their dinner. A world where pirates sail the clouds to plunder diamonds from the night sky. A world where bubbleberries make a person burp out loud. It is a place where anything imaginable is commonplace.
All the while, the young keykeeper finds himself increasingly intrigued by stories of the outside. Snooping about, he is captivated by a dreamer who piques his interest in the ordinary.

HOW HARD IT IS TO LOVE WHOLLY, TO GROW THROUGH MISTAKES, TO FORGIVE COMPLETELY, AND TO FIX THE THINGS WE HAVE BROKEN.
In this concluding book from the Harrowbethain Saga, the young queen of Harrowbeth is determined to set things right, but doing so means breaking a few big rules. Joined by a select group of Harrowbethian militiamen, as well as a handful of Viidun warriors and a few spunky Mishmorat sisters, Queen Eena sets off for Laradine―the homeworld of the immortals.
In the land of Tribanees, with the loyal support of her traveling companions, Eena intends to confront the immortal governing body and convince them to undo a terrible wrong. But persuading immortals to concern themselves with the troubles of temporary life forms proves to be a nigh impossible challenge. Things get carried away, plans are drastically altered, and before long, Eena starts to wonder how many wrongs it will take to finally set everything right.
Find out how the story ends for Queen Eena and her friends.
