In an idyllic small-town neighborhood, a near tragedy triggers a series of dark revelations.
From the outside, Sycamore Glen, North Carolina, might look like the perfect all-American neighborhood. But behind the white picket fences lies a web of secrets that reach from house to house.
Up and down the streets, neighbors quietly bear the weight of their own pasts―until an accident at the community pool upsets the delicate equilibrium. And when tragic circumstances compel a woman to return to Sycamore Glen after years of self-imposed banishment, the tangle of the neighbors’ intertwined lives begins to unravel.
During the course of a sweltering summer, long-buried secrets are revealed, and the neighbors learn that it’s impossible to really know those closest to us. But is it impossible to love and forgive them?

Who You Think You Are Is Not as Important as Who God Says You Are
Many of us wrestle with the gap between our weaknesses and our dreams, between who we are and who God says we are meant to be. We feel unqualified to do God’s work or to live out the calling we imagine. But God has a way of using our weaknesses for good. In fact, God loves unqualified people.
In (Un)Qualified, Pastor Steven Furtick helps you peel back the assumptions you’ve made about yourself and see yourself as God sees you. Because true peace and confidence come not from worldly perfection but from acceptance: God’s acceptance of you, your acceptance of yourself, and your acceptance of God’s process of change.
This is a book about understanding your identity in light of who God is. It’s a book about coming to terms with the good, the bad, and the unmentionable in your life and learning to let God use you. It’s about charging into the gap between your present and your hopes and meeting God there. After all, God can’t bless who you pretend to be. But he longs to bless who you really are; a flawed and broken person. Good thing for us that God is in the business of using broken people to do big things.
Being Unqualified Is God’s Favorite Qualification
Our culture tells us that the answer to our failures is to fix them. The solution to our weaknesses is to hide them. The secret to our success is to appear as flawless as possible. But God’s qualifying system is different than the world’s. So is his view of our weaknesses, our purpose, and our true selves.
In (Un)Qualified, Steven Furtick explores who God is as the great “I AM”, and then helps us discover our own identity. Delving into the story of Jacob, Furtick invites us to acknowledge our weaknesses and ask God to work through them.
The truth is, God has created us to be more, to accomplish more, and to love life more than we ever thought possible. But to become who he has called us to be, we must embrace who we are right now. (Un)Qualified equips us to face obstacles and failures without losing a sense of purpose. We can have a thriving sense of hope that God is working in us and through us, not in spite of our weaknesses but often as a direct result of them.
Tai Randolph thinks inheriting a Confederate-themed gun shop is her biggest headache-until she finds a murdered corpse in her brother’s driveway. Even worse, her supposedly respectable brother begins behaving in decidedly non-innocent ways, like fleeing to the Bahamas and leaving her with both a homicide in her lap and the pointed suspicions of the Atlanta Police Department directed her way. Suddenly, she has to worry about clearing her own name, not just that of her wayward sibling.
Complicating her search for answers is Trey Seaver, field agent for Phoenix, an exclusive corporate security firm hired to investigate the crime. Seaver is fearless, focused, and utterly impervious to bribes, threats, and clever deceptions. Still in recovery from the car accident that left him cognitively and emotionally damaged, Seaver has constructed a world of certainty and routine. He has powerful people to answer to, and the last thing he wants is an unpredictable stranger “detecting” on Phoenix turf.
Tai’s inquiry leads her from the cold-eyed glamour of Atlanta’s adult-entertainment scene to the gilded treachery of Tuxedo Road. Potential suspects abound, including violent stalkers, vengeful sisters, and a paparazzo with a taste for meth. But it takes another murder-and threats to her own life-to make Tai realize that to solve this crime she has to trust the most dangerous man she’s ever met.

It is a black,beautiful release, to be free of your colorless silence. I take the dark horse of me by the reins now. I am her Black- bride, her Night- rider, and I shall gallop her home to marry light. I choose an innocent mind, concocted from a pure heart. I’ve reached the castle. The walls that stand as relics to my past before me. Indestructible, Undeniable, Weathered stone upon cracked foundations. Yet it is only one long wall of pain vying for my focus so that it may earn its title of “ancient history”. Maps of hidden corners, secret doorways to discover, walls yet to build, rain down upon my crown. I stride by that towering wall with grace and release, It has spoken its piece, and I’ve spoken mine. I want peace. I choose peace. I will not live contained by it any longer. It may never crumble, But neither will I. The inner chamber all Candlelit Christens my heart new again, I am named Illuminata. I’ve burned every candle down, praying to the moonlight, I’m ready to heed the call. Resiliency has won. Angels in my backyard have heralded. Smoke rings stink. I want only the smoke that signals: I live like there is an ever fire burning inside me. My soul desires her life theme back. I’m all in. Send the subtle signs. Send the neon signs. Hang the welcome sign. I was cracked open by the spiral of God-Light years ago, Pretending is no longer optional. Communion is everything. I live the deep life. I wake and work the magic of the day dawned. I stare at the starblazen sky with wonder. If She holds all that in place. There must be a plan for the universe that lives and loves inside me. Ill always hold onto the home of that. Darkness never dims me long, For I am a Star-Rider, Born of, born again of, and married to Light. _____________________________________ .
