She now lives in London where she still pursues her career as an actor.

It is a form of sharing that provides a perspective of opening ourselves to others on the reality of God in our respective lives. It is looking at individual? If to be human is to live in community, then to alienate ourselves from community, in monologue, is to cut ourselves from our own humanity.?
As Christians, our interconnectedness aims to unite us in harmony and enables us to strive more deeply for the wholeness of the person.
It is implicit in our calling that we are made for others? As Himes points out,?

What started out as a quick thought to share with others on Facebook has turned into a published devotional to help others understand how we can get through difficult times in life is with the love and assurance of God.
In her new devotional, God's Bits and Pieces, author Stephanie Padgett Widener brings together several messages she wrote on Facebook titled "Just a quick though for the day" that were to inspire and encourage those reading.
When it became clear to Stephanie how impactful these messages were to those reading, she realized more that the thoughts God was given her each day to post needed to be in a book. As readers will see, the devotional messages are to uplift and inspire people in these challenging times to remain hopeful and helpful to others.
The messages are to remind us that we are God's children and when we fall on hard times, He is there to guide us through them. Several topics are discussed in the devotional messages, from the importance of prayer to praising God in the trials to realizing who we are in Christ. After that there were no more news reports. There was no one left to report it. And after the power grids failed, there was no way to report it. The world went dark and it went silent.
Except for the sound the dead make. And they are hungry. All the time. They want to eat people. Animals, too. The dead rose and they ate everyone. Well, not everyone, I suppose. My teachers say that the dead killed enough people for everything to fall apart. My health class teacher says it was disease, malnutrition, and bad water that killed most of the others.
Problem is, no matter how someone dies, they come back to life as a zombie. Which meant that the survivors kept having to run to find a safe place to hide. And to find food and stuff. To find medicine. Mom ran. She took me with her. I used to have a dad, and brothers. I never knew them. I was too little, and when Mom ran.
Or from what they had become. It discusses chiptune's reemergence in the late s as a new wave of young musicians rediscovered these obsolete machines and began to use them as quirky and characterful musical instruments, in the process taking chiptune from the desktop and placing it centre stage.
The book concludes by contemplating what lies ahead; as more people incorporate the chiptune sound into their work, will it ever hit the mainstream or will it remain firmly countercultural as part of the digital underground?

Jun 09, Alondra Miller rated it it was amazing Shelves: books-i-own , horror , dystopian. We get a lot of the characters thoughts and feelings during first night and the immediate years after; which is great insight to how the day changed their lives.
We get introduced to a few new characters, and get more background, which I love. I love details and little nuggets of information that tell you why a character behaves the way they do; and why they make the choices that they mak 5 Stars I had missed this series so much. I love details and little nuggets of information that tell you why a character behaves the way they do; and why they make the choices that they make.
We learn a few more atrocities of the night church; like we needed that. It just makes you hate them more. We get a peek inside Nix's diary. Nothing too long or drawn out; just enough to let you in and see her pain and sadness. If you have not picked up this amazing series; then I suggest you get on the bandwagon. Well-written, well-rounded characters, and a storyline that just does not stop.

Nov 26, Abbie rated it liked it. Not as enjoyable as the others, but an okay read overall. Oct 29, Zulfiya rated it really liked it. I thought it was a collection of short stories in the post-apocalyptic world, and it is, but somehow it is book 5 in the series :- Despite being the fifth book in the series, it was actually quite enjoyable.
The stories definitely are connected to some major events in the universe, but they are still enjoyable on their own. Besides, they are very dark for the target audience, and this was a part of the reading pleasure. They are also quite gruesome and graphic for their target audience, and they I thought it was a collection of short stories in the post-apocalyptic world, and it is, but somehow it is book 5 in the series :- Despite being the fifth book in the series, it was actually quite enjoyable.
They are also quite gruesome and graphic for their target audience, and they explore very mature and controversial topics of death, sacrifice, meaning of life, etc.
That is why I enjoyed these stories so much. I actually considered reading the wholes series of Rot and Tuin, but then I listened to the Joe Ledger book by the same audience, and was so disappointed as it turned out to be just a basic puerile thriller with the primitive conservative bias ala chicken level thrillers that I had to say, "No".
How can a YA book be decent and complex, and the book for the grown ups so simplistic? Jonathan Maberry has done it again!! I know the market may be flooded with zombie novels and movies, but Maberry's series is so different and amazing that I was enthralled from page one. It's really that good. It's been a while since I read Fire and Ash , the last in the series, so the characters and events are a little rusty in my brain.
But this book, a weaving of stories that take place not only on Jonathan Maberry has done it again!! But this book, a weaving of stories that take place not only on First Night but also soon afterward, fills in so many of the small gaps that an author necessarily may have to leave in his novels.
While speaking to a friend, I likened this book to the extra features on a special edition DVD, and that's really what this is.
It's even more Benny and Tom and all the beloved characters, plus some new ones, and more background and detail. There is a slight caveat to my love of this book. I am a somewhat sensitive person, and the futility of trying to stay alive in a world that didn't really exist any more really got to me with the stories that happened soon after First Night.
Knowing that these people a lot of them kids didn't have any survival skills made me think about how I would survive if there were no services, like electricity or running water, and if I had to protect myself from not only zombies but also random people that would kill me for my supplies.
Maberry's able to conjure up such a world so vividly that it really threw me for a slight loop for a few hours. I highly recommend this book, even if you haven't read any of the series yet. But you should definitely read them all!
A great zombie series. The writing is excellent, clever, suspenseful and fun. I just read this one and loved it as much as the others. It includes short stories from before and during the rest of the series. If you haven't read it yet, and you like zombie stories. Try this one. Dec 26, Dave rated it it was amazing. I love this series!!! Sep 08, Sue Smith rated it really liked it Shelves: books-read-in It gives some great background to some of the more interesting characters that are introduced in the main series that the integral heroes run into and interact with.
It shows some great thought processes by the author of the storyline and the aftermath of a catastrophic virus and how society would react - even giving some interesting insights to the zombie side of things. All in all, it was a fun read. Oh …… and can I gush on about the book cover? The whole series has had exceptional thought behind their cover designs and this one is no less fabulous.
Subtle and obvious at the same time with that great flip design to let you see it all in a different light. Love it! I so wish I read these short stories along side the novels. It has been a while since I read the series and getting back into this world was interesting.
Most of the stories in this collection didn't add anything to the world or story for me after finishing the series. While we do get to see some of the characters we're familiar with, we see a lot that are new - at least I don't remember them.
I do wish there were more stories about the time when First Night happened and how the towns were creat I so wish I read these short stories along side the novels. I do wish there were more stories about the time when First Night happened and how the towns were created. While there is a story on how Tom survived First Night, I think I would really appreciate a full length prequel novel about him as well. I unfortunately don't believe short stories are for me. That is the reason I haven't read very many in the past and this experience does make that belief seem valid.
Though I didn't enjoy this collection as much as the series, I am excited to re-visit this world in the next series. Jan 19, Raul rated it it was ok. Although I loved being back in this world, this short story collection was a real disappointment for me.
Some of the stories felt like they didn't belong or had any purpose, and others left me wanting more. I think the series would have benefited more with having a prequel novel following Tom rather than this collection of underwhelming stories. Mar 31, Thomas Pianka rated it it was amazing.
This addition to the tetralogy was a smart move. I really enjoyed it since it helped fill in the gaps between events and also gave a better insight into the characters' past lives before the First Night. It answered most of my questions curiosities the fourth book left me with. I strongly recommend that anyone read this series and this fifth book immediately after.
Jun 08, Misti rated it liked it. This collection of short stories was all over the place; some of them were good but some of them really added nothing to the series.
