Secrets of the Broken House

Taryn Souders

From the author of Coop Knows the Scoop and The Mystery of the Radcliffe Riddle comes a quirky whodunnit that explores friendship, small-town secrets, and a twisty mystery that will keep readers guessing. 
  
In the small, southern town of Everson, goats can run for mayor, the mail is always late, and nothing all that bad ever happens. That is, until thirteen-year-old Tucker finds Miss Geraldine dead at the bottom of her stairs. At first glance, it looks like an accident. But Tucker has always had a knack for noticing details that others overlook, and the details surrounding Miss Geraldine's death just aren't adding up. 
  
Miss Geraldine was miserable and mean. Miss Geraldine was murdered. 
  
The whole town seems to have reason to want her dead, which makes Tucker's search for the truth nearly impossible. The more he investigates for clues, the more danger he finds himself in, and the more he realizes that maybe Everson was never as safe as he once thought it was. Anyone could be the killer, and in a small town that loves to gossip, if Tucker isn't careful, he could be the next one to have an "accident."

Why God Delays in Answering? and...

Beshoy Shenouda Mahrous, Beshoy...

Why does God delay in answering? 
Why do I pray, weep, fast—and still, silence? 
In this soul-piercing sermon by Pope Shenouda III, known for his divine wisdom and spirit-led counsel, we explore one of the hardest and holiest questions: 
Why does God seem far away in times of pain? 
“Why, O Lord, do You stand far off? Why do You hide Yourself in times of trouble?” (Psalm 10:1) And many of us today echo this cry. 
But maybe God’s silence isn’t absence. Maybe it’s preparation. Maybe it’s grace. 
Through powerful biblical stories—from Abraham to Joseph, Hannah to Elijah, from the Psalms to Isaiah and the New Testament—we uncover the deep truth: 
God may delay, but He never forgets. 
He works in silence. He prepares in stillness. 
His “delay” is often His way of strengthening our soul, deepening our trust, cleansing our heart, and shaping us for a greater purpose. 
“Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for Him.” (Psalm 37:7) “Those who wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength.” (Isaiah 40:31) 
This message is for every soul that has whispered, 
“Lord, I’ve waited so long. Where are You?” 
“Faith is not believing that God will work… it is knowing that He is already working.” (John 5:17) “I will repay you for the years the locusts have eaten.” (Joel 2:25) 
📖 Let this message bring peace to the restless, calm to the weary, and hope to the discouraged.
