The Second Edition of Confidence: Reliance on the Spirit, The Innocence and Resilience of Youth is a gripping story of the irrepressible Lilia Faith Christian, which will thrill tweens and teens alike.
"What are you trying to do Jimmy, kill me?" Thirteen-year-old Lilia screeched at the top of her lungs when fifteen-year-old Jimmy pitched the softball directly at her head. She heard the whirring of air around the ball when it picked up velocity, and leaned backwards to avoid it as the ball flew past within an inch of her nose.
"This is supposed to be for fun, not for blood!" Lilia squalled at him. For years Jimmy had been the nemesis of her life. He pestered her any chance he had for whatever reason he could find. He's probably just trying to get back at me for sitting on him and holding his hands in the dirt last spring, speculated Lilia. However, Jimmy had grown six inches during the summer, and now stood a head above Lilia!
Her father's fateful words rang in her ears, "Someday that boy will be twice as big as you, and he'll definitely remember that you bullied him and then what will you do?"
Lilia and Jimmy attempt to understand each other, but they don't always agree. This is a buoyant and adventurous story of reconciliation, friendship, faith, and self-discovery in the tender hearts of youth.

The sizzling adventures of Lilia Faith Christian will thrill the reader in the fourth novel of the acclaimed young adult series.
Sixteen-year-old Lilia glances up suddenly as the wild-eyed cattle thunder down the driveway toward the busy highway. She whistles for her magnificent horse, King, grabs his mane, and leaps up on him bareback. She circles the paddock, aims King for the fence, and sails up and over it. King's hooves pound through the grass and kick up sod as Lilia and her steed bound into the ditch to the side of the charging steers. Jim springs up on his horse on the run, and gallops at breakneck speed after his fearless girlfriend. Lilia urgently gallops to get around the steers before they reach the highway. A mere yard just before the culvert under the road, Lilia reins King sharply left, and he valiantly vaults out of the ditch. A semi truck blasts his horn, and her hair whooshes backwards as the massive vehicle forewarns Lilia and her majestic horse.
The scintillating story sparkles with love, and lights up the heart with faith, hope, and humor. As Lilia and Jim's feelings for each other mature, they learn not to rush it. They discover that passion, commitment, and trust must grow together, and allow their beliefs to guide them through their youth, humanness, and frustrations.

A beam in the ceiling crashes to the floor, and a load of hay from the hayloft buries her as she screeches at the top of her lungs with fear. Jim is Lilia's beloved bodyguard boyfriend, and Derek is her number two bodyguard. They leap through the barn's flaming doorway into the incendiary without a thought for their own lives. They rip hay hooks off the wall, which sear the palms of their hands, and then flail the hay bales up and off her with supernatural power in their furious panic to save her.
The maturing young adults cling to their faith and each other as situations present struggles more demanding than any they have dealt with in their lifetime. The story, set on a little ranch in the stunning backdrop of Wailua, Kauai, is a sizzling and magnetic adventure for readers of all ages.
