Some things your mind will never allow you to forget.<\/p>\n<p>Silent Tears is the true story of the adversity and triumphs one woman faced as she fought against the Chinese bureaucracy to help that country\u2019s orphaned children.<\/p>\n<p>In 2003, Kay Bratt\u2019s life changed dramatically. A wife and mother of two girls in South Carolina, Bratt relocated her family to rural China to support her husband as he took on a new management position for his American employer. Seeking a way to fill her days and overcome the isolation she experienced upon arriving in a foreign country, Bratt began volunteering at the local orphanage. Within months, her simple desire to make use of her time transformed into a heroic crusade to improve the living conditions and minimize the unnecessary deaths of Chinese orphans.<\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Valentine-Express-Nancy-Elizabeth-Wallace-ebook\/dp\/B008SGJIT2%3FSubscriptionId%3DAKIAI577GW2METHB3K7Q%26tag%3Dbookcycling-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3DB008SGJIT2\" target=\"_blank\">The Valentine Express<\/a><\/h3>\n<p>Children&#8217;s Books &gt; Growing Up &amp; Facts of Life<br \/>\nAuthor: Nancy Elizabeth Wallace<br \/>\nRegularly $9.99, Today $1.99<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Valentine-Express-Nancy-Elizabeth-Wallace-ebook\/dp\/B008SGJIT2%3FSubscriptionId%3DAKIAI577GW2METHB3K7Q%26tag%3Dbookcycling-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3DB008SGJIT2\" target=\"_blank\"><img alt=\"The Valentine Express\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ecx.images-amazon.com\/images\/I\/51hiW-mKnoL._SL160_.jpg?w=640\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a title=\"Buy: The Valentine Express\" href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Valentine-Express-Nancy-Elizabeth-Wallace-ebook\/dp\/B008SGJIT2%3FSubscriptionId%3DAKIAI577GW2METHB3K7Q%26tag%3Dbookcycling-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3DB008SGJIT2\" target=\"_blank\">See Kindle Price at Amazon.com<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Minna, an appealing rabbit character, comes up with a great Valentine\u2019s Day project which involves enlisting her little brother to do kind things for their neighbors.<\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/An-Experimental-Mutiny-Against-Excess-ebook\/dp\/B006O34NKK%3FSubscriptionId%3DAKIAI577GW2METHB3K7Q%26tag%3Dbookcycling-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3DB006O34NKK\" target=\"_blank\">7: An Experimental Mutiny Against Excess<\/a><\/h3>\n<p>Christian Living &gt; Social Issues<br \/>\nAuthor: Jen Hatmaker<br \/>\nRegularly $9.99, Today $2.99<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/An-Experimental-Mutiny-Against-Excess-ebook\/dp\/B006O34NKK%3FSubscriptionId%3DAKIAI577GW2METHB3K7Q%26tag%3Dbookcycling-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3DB006O34NKK\" target=\"_blank\"><img alt=\"7: An Experimental Mutiny Against Excess\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ecx.images-amazon.com\/images\/I\/41FN%2B0d%2B3oL._SL160_.jpg?w=640\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a title=\"Buy: 7: An Experimental Mutiny Against Excess\" href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/An-Experimental-Mutiny-Against-Excess-ebook\/dp\/B006O34NKK%3FSubscriptionId%3DAKIAI577GW2METHB3K7Q%26tag%3Dbookcycling-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3DB006O34NKK\" target=\"_blank\">See Kindle Price at Amazon.com<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>American life can be excessive, to say the least. That\u2019s what Jen Hatmaker had to admit after taking in hurricane victims who commented on the extravagance of her family\u2019s upper middle class home. She once considered herself unmotivated by the lure of prosperity, but upon being called \u201crich\u201d by an undeniably poor child, evidence to the contrary mounted, and a social experiment turned spiritual was born.<\/p>\n<p>7 is the true story of how Jen (along with her husband and her children to varying degrees) took seven months, identified seven areas of excess, and made seven simple choices to fight back against the modern-day diseases of greed, materialism, and overindulgence.<\/p>\n<p>Food. Clothes. Spending. Media. Possessions. Waste. Stress. They would spend thirty days on each topic, boiling it down to the number seven. Only eat seven foods, wear seven articles of clothing, and spend money in seven places. Eliminate use of seven media types, give away seven things each day for one month, adopt seven green habits, and observe \u201cseven sacred pauses.\u201d So, what\u2019s the payoff from living a deeply reduced life? It\u2019s the discovery of a greatly increased God\u2014a call toward Christ-like simplicity and generosity that transcends social experiment to become a radically better existence.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong>&#8230; See the rest of today&#8217;s Editor&#8217;s Picks <a href=\"http:\/\/www.weberbooks.com\/kindle\/page-2-of-todays-editors-picks\/\"> <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">here on page 2<\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<div style=\"line-height: 1.1; float: left; padding-right: 10px; text-align: left;\">[maxbutton id=&#8221;87&#8243;]<\/div>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\/\/ <![CDATA[\ngoogle_ad_client = \"ca-pub-2453376138947586\"; \/* BottomofPage3x336 *\/ google_ad_slot = \"1702786664\"; google_ad_width = 336; google_ad_height = 280;\n\/\/ ]]><\/script><br \/>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/show_ads.js\">\/\/ <![CDATA[\n\n\n\/\/ ]]><\/script><\/p>\n<p><!--noadsense--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Brenda Jackson tops today&#8217;s Buffet with What a Westmoreland Wants, her multicultural romance that first appeared as a\u00a0Silhouette Desire paperback in 2010.
