When the nurse says, “Take a deep breath,” but your chest won’t obey—how do you hold on to hope?

If you’re facing a diagnosis, sitting by a hospital bed, or living with an ache you can’t fix, The Race of Your Life will meet you there. Author Stacy Kincer invites you into her journey with interstitial lung disease—the tests, the fear, the waiting—and the God who kept breathing life into her faith when her lungs could not.

Through honest stories, Scripture, and gentle reflection, you’ll discover:

• How to pray when words run out and anxiety spikes at 2 a.m.
• Practical ways to let others carry you when you’re too tired to carry yourself.
• Rhythms of rest and truth that steady your mind when your body is weak.
• The promises of God that hold when everything else feels unsteady.

This isn’t a quick fix. It’s a faithful companion for the long road—for anyone walking through illness, loss, or uncertainty. If you’re short of breath—in body or soul—let this book help you take your next brave breath.

The Race of Your Life reminds us: God’s strength carries us when we can’t carry ourselves—and every breath can become an act of worship.

Kirkus Verdict: "Get It" An Author Shout Top Pick She had it all - riches, a college scholarship, a girlfriend - until her conservative, hyper-religious parents found out about the girlfriend and made her choose between conversion therapy and disownment. That was the end of her academic career. Three years later, she met a shy public reference librarian in a bookstore. He'd been waiting his whole life for her. Meanwhile, she was starting her whole life over. What ensued between the two was magic. Given that he was about to become her tutor in the magickal and erotic arts, that was only to be expected. But at what cost? The mysterious older man was all she could ever have wished for, but she might need to choose between her developing identity and the most profound love she had ever known. * * * "Magic and philosophy sandwiched in between some of the hottest scenes I've read in recent years... Loved it!" - Hannah Gonzalez, Reedsy Discovery "Love is brutal, bloody, and ecstatic in this passionate romance... BDSM afficionados will love it... A richly imagined, lurid love story that's not for the faint of heart." - Kirkus Reviews "The author writes elegantly about BDSM romance and deftly explores the inner worlds of the characters as well as their psyches...Drake's beautiful prose and dense symbolism will challenge you to think about profound questions about the body, mind, and spirit, particularly in the context of queerness and ritual mysticism." - Meg McKinnon for The Book Commentary.

One decision can change everything. Following the wrong person could be the difference between life and death. When Caligastia was named Planetary Prince of Earth and tasked with bringing life to Earth, he was certain he could manipulate everyone in his trusted circle into following him and his decisions. Mendal was the perfect choice for this; as an inexperienced life carrier, he soon became Caligastia’s third in command, and with that, he also became an important piece of the plan. Caligastia was certain he would follow all of his wishes. When Lucifer announced his rebellion, he was certain of the outcome. But sometimes plans can change, and our alliances might be harder to proclaim.
The book is interesting; the author’s writing style is full of vivid descriptions. I loved how the author managed to incorporate religious elements into a science fiction book, as this is the first time I’ve read a book like this. Mendal is one of my favorite characters, as he felt powerful, loyal, and curious. But I also enjoyed how the author made Caligastia, Lisa, Fay, and even Lucifer realistic characters, with emotional stories and distinctive personalities. I also felt that the author wrote a perfect ending for this story, as it could also allow for more books to be written. Purchase The Urantia Revolution 200,000 BC by Steven R. Fleming to discover what happens in this book.
