The Chapel Quotes
“It doesn’t seem like a loving God would allow people to be in a real place called hell. Hell is an eternal place of separation from God for those who want nothing to do with God. Hell is the constant existence of anguish where the trajectory of being unrepentant continues forever. There is a bridge from hell that can only be passed over in this lifetime, this our chance, our moment to respond to the grace of Jesus. How much does our culture influence our objections against God? Don’t forget where we came from, from the depths from which we are saved. When we are born our default setting is that we’re not righteous and that our trajectory is eternal separation from God. The good news is that our default settings can be changed but only in this lifetime.”
“In the Christian faith, for the Christian there is no place for arrogance, for haughtiness, our posture should always be one of humility because Jesus got us somewhere we don’t deserve. He gave us what we could not accomplish on our own. Those who experience material wealth should not assume that they are favored by God. One of the hardest obstacles to overcome in this world is when we are surrounded by all the comforts of this world, wealth and success, we are tempted to believe we don’t need God. To be in heaven is to mean you want Jesus. The crown jewel of heaven is not being in heaven, it’s being where Jesus is.”

Devotion 10/19/2025
Our Devotion, “You Are Here” is by Amy L. Green, a professional writing major at Taylor University and a freelance writer for WBCL radio, Christian Communicator, Church Libraries, and Christian Book Previews.
Every shopper trying to find a store at the mall is familiar with the large directory signs for confused customers. All of the shops, restaurants, bathrooms, and hallways are clearly labeled, but the most important feature of the map is the bright, bold square that says, “You are here.” After all, it’s helpful to see where you want to go, but unless you know where you are, you won’t be able to get there.
In the same way, unless we know where we are in our spiritual life, we won’t be able to make any progress. Our goal is righteousness and spiritual growth, and in order to get there we need to have a clear view of where we are in our walk with Christ.
Romans 12:3 puts it this way: “Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment.” This kind of judging is not condemning ourselves for our weaknesses, but realistically acknowledging that there are areas in our lives that need work. Only then, with the help of the Holy Spirit, can we come closer to our final destination: becoming more like Christ.

LEVERAGING LINCOLN: A Civil War Novel (The Liberator, 1)
by Stephenia H. McGee
Vine Press, PB
354 pages, 2015
LOSING LINCOLN (The Liberator, 2)
358 pages, 2016
LABELING LINCOLN (The Liberator, 3)
382 pages, 2016
Caught in the middle of the Civil War, Annabelle Ross runs a hospital at her southern plantation, sending partially recovered soldiers back to war and burying the others. In Leveraging Lincoln, Annabelle is looking for any excuse to avoid marrying her step-uncle so her grandfather can claim her land. When a soldier passes her an urgent note for the Confederate army, she tries to fulfill his dying wish by delivering the message. She is apprehended as a spy until Matthew, a wounded soldier, helps her escape. Could his brother, a prisoner of war, have been her childhood betrothed and the only one who could help save her land? Or is Matthew seeking information from the note to kidnap the Union president?
In Losing Lincoln, Matthew and Annabelle have escaped Booth’s kidnapping conspiracy and are searching for George, Matthew’s brother. Their prayers are answered when a flood allows George to escape his prison camp. Despite Matthew’s affection toward Annabelle, he leaves her, thinking she would fall in love with George. Matthew follows one of the conspirators back to their crazed leader, O’Malley, in hopes to stop the kidnapping. After deciding not to court George, Annabelle hears Matthew has rejoined the conspiracy. Will Annabelle’s attempts to protect Lincoln be enough to save him?
Labeling Lincoln shares the aftermath of the assassination of Lincoln. Annabelle, Matthew, and George confess their knowledge of the kidnapping attempts to the police. When all of them are detained, Matthew signs allegiance papers with the North to help the Union army track Booth and to free his brother and love. His only defense against the Union soldiers is his alcohol. After being kidnapped by a possessed O’Malley, Matthew’s chances of returning to Annabelle are slim.
While the first two books focus on the story with subtle moral lessons, the third book is more cheesy and Christian-ized. Ideas such as the evils of alcohol, lying, and hate turning into drunkenness, deceit, and demon possession pervade this final chapter. The answer to overcoming all these problems is love and God. Regardless of the cheesy ending, this is truly a wonderful series.
Stephania H. McGee knows her history. Every detail of The Liberator trilogy proves her dedication to historic research. Her writing is clear and compelling, leaving the perfect amount of suspense to keep readers flipping pages. She chooses to focus on loveable, fictional characters to tell Lincoln’s story – an angle that works well for these books. Adult readers of historical fiction and romance will fall in love with this twist on the assassination of Lincoln.
