In The Fence My Father Built, when legally separated Muri Pond, a librarian, hauls her kids, teenage Nova and eleven year-old Truman, out to the tiny town of Murkee, Oregon, where her father, Joe Pond lived and died, she’s confronted by a neighbor’s harassment over water rights and Joe’s legacy: a fence made from old oven doors.

The fence and accompanying house trailer horrify rebellious Nova, who runs away to the drug-infested streets of Seattle. Muri searches for her daughter and for something to believe in, all the while trying to save her inheritance from the conniving neighbor who calls her dad Chief Joseph. Along with Joe’s sister, Aunt Lutie, and the Red Rock Tabernacle Ladies, Muri must rediscover the faith her alcoholic dad never abandoned in order to reclaim her own spiritual path.

What must we do to bear spiritual fruit? Pastors, churches and individual Christians are constantly searching for the right strategies for success in their ministries. Yet our production-driven culture has led us to ask the wrong question.

The Bible repeatedly points us back to a deeper issue: who must I be? Contradiction, hypocrisy and neglect of our hidden lives too often choke off any fruit God would bring forth. The flesh compels us to work to bear fruit. But just the opposite is true: it is our works that make us barren. We so easily compartmentalize and isolate inconsistencies in our hidden lives and think that we can still move forward in God’s service. As a result, much of what we “do” for God is unnecessary, unproductive and unfruitful. For God brings forth His fruit not in those who do, but in those who are.

With The Hidden Life you will learn; Spiritual and secular views of fruitfulness, Gaining spiritual guidance to inform practical decisions, Secular strategies we use to achieve spiritual objectives, and more!

The Quiet Daughter Speaks by Evelyn Richesin

When Susan Moore’s father brings home a sad stranger named Paul Maniford, Susan finds herself intrigued by his story. As a widower, he is incapable of caring for his young daughter and farm alone. Normally reserved, Susan finds herself able to converse easily with Paul. She becomes unexpectedly concerned about his needs. Believing that love is a choice rather than simply an accident or emotion, Susan encourages him to remarry, even if it is a marriage based more on need than romantic love.

Soon, Susan is confronted with a decision that could change her life forever. Paul, still practically a stranger and twelve years her senior, asks her to be his wife. Susan, as the always dutiful daughter and motherly big sister, is concerned about leaving her father and sister behind. How would they fare without her? And if she does marry Paul, would a marriage based on a common need instead of romantic love bring happiness? Could she love his daughter as her own and actually find love in a marriage to a near stranger?
