MATKY NEMOHOU BÝT POŘÁD DOKONALÉ, ALE MOHOU BÝT MNOHEM LEPŠÍ, NEŽ JSEM BYLA MINULÉ LÉTO JÁ… Jmenuju se Annie. Bylo mi devatenáct, když jsem opustila Kalifornii a vydala se do Londýna za štěstím a vysněnou velkou láskou. Nevěděla jsem, jak má opravdová láska vypadat, ale podvědomě jsem cítila, že to stále není ono… Uplynulo dvacet let. Žila jsem v San Francisku ve spokojeném manželství a byla šťastnou mámou třech dětí. Jednoho dne jsem však našla ve schránce fotografii, která ve mně vyvolala staré, hluboko ukryté vzpomínky a zamíchala kartami osudu nás všech… A tebe to málem stálo život.

What are the five solas? Why do they matter? Are they biblical? How do they apply to me? Five: The Solas of the Reformation, by S. D. Ellison, is a primer written to introduce readers to the glorious truths of the Reformation. This book will guide people through the historical and biblical basis for each of the Solas: Sola Gratia (Grace Alone), Sola Fide (Faith Alone), Sola Scriptura (Scripture Alone), Solus Christus (Christ Alone), and Soli Deo Gloria (Glory to God Alone). However, just as importantly, Five: The Solas of the Reformation will show how these great reformational truths can be applied to our own lives.

Past and present collide, Annie's marriage falters, and her son takes a car ride that ends with his life hanging in the balance. Now Annie must confront her own transgressions and fight for her family by untangling the mysteries of the turbulent winter that drew an invisible map of her future.
