Nakilala natin ang prinsesa, prinsipe at ang damsel in distress at nagkaroon sila ng happy ending. Pero paano kung pumasok sa kwento ang witch ng fairytale kasama ng kanyang henchman? Paano na ang happily ever after ending nila?

Si Vince, nang makilala niya si Valene ay inakala niyang makukuha niyang muli ang love story na kanyang inaasam. Pero sa pagdaan ng mga araw, napagtanto niya na ang babaeng kanyang minahal ay tanging sa panaginip lamang niya matatagpuan. Makamit pa kaya niya ang happily ever after kung ang babaeng nakilala niya sa kanyang panaginip ay kanya paring hinahanap?

Si Valene, ibang iba sa dating damsel in distress. Handa siyang gawin ang lahat para sa kasintahan, ngunit isang sikretong kaytagal niyang itinago ang sisira sa kanyang fairy tale love story. Makukuha pa kaya ni Valene ang happily ever after na kay tagal niyang inasam?

Si Jan, ang henchman. Kilala bilang playboy sa kabila ng pambabae niyang pangalan, sikat dahil sa kanyang kakaibang karisma, kaya hindi mo akaling na-friendzone siya ng tanging babaeng minahal niya – ang best friend niyang si Alyanna. Paano na ang happy ending niya kung ang tingin sa kanya ng kanyang sariling prinsesa ay isang kaibigan lang?

Si Alyanna, ang kontrabida, witch ng istorya at ang prinsesa sa kanyang sariling fairy tale, ngunit hindi siya ang tipong naghihintay lang sa kanyang prince charming na dumating – siya ang naghahanap – at si Vince ang target niya. Makakamit niya kaya ang inaasam na happy ending?

Sa isang love story, maraming nasasaktan, maraming nananakit at may dalawang liligaya, ngunit ang happy ending ba ay para sa dalawang tao lang? Sa isang fairy tale, may karapatan ba ang mga kontrabida sa isang happily ever after?

A story of two people from different worlds trying to ignore the feelings they have for each other. Romance novel “Run Away, Bride” by Mary Ruth Baloy is now available in bookstores nationwide.

When Bride Lopez loves, she does it with all her heart. It was her strength and her weakness. Kaya n`ong minahal niya si Slance Aquino ay alam niyang binigyan niya ito ng kakayahang saktan siya. Slance and her were from different worlds. He was one of the popular kids then and she was just…well, Bride. Pinabayaan niyang mahulog ng sobra ang loob niya rito dahil alam niyang hindi siya nito mapapansin. She permitted herself to get lost in him because she knew he will never find her. Pero laking gulat niya nang isang araw ay ayain siya nito magsayaw. It scared her. Because now that he knew she existed, he could break her heart. So instead of succumbing to her feelings, she ran away from him. And from that day on, she never saw him again.

Slance Aquino was tired of pain. He was tired of going after every person he loved. He was tired of being run away from. He was tired of loving people who ran away from him. Kaya hindi niya alam kung bakit gan`on nalang ang kapit ng pagmamahal niya kay Bride kahit na isa ito sa mga taong tinakbuhan siya. Hindi niya alam kung bakit mahal na mahal niya ito kahit na ito ang taong may pinakamalakas na kakayahang saktan at sirain siya. He wanted to unlove her. But it was hard because she was already a vital part of his heart. He knew that even if she wasn’t part of his life, she will always be in his heart.

Ten years later, fate decided to play a trick on both of them. They met again, now adults who were experiencing individual issues. Bride saw the meeting as a chance. Slance saw it as a means to closure. Bride thought that allowing herself to succumb to what she felt for him would ease the pain of longing she had for him. Slance thought that the only way to prevent her from hurting him again was to hurt her first. Both were wrong decisions that they had to suffer from because fate’s game was just starting. Mula sa isang pagkikita ay nasundan pa iyon ng marami pa. Slowly, from one pain to another, Bride and Slance came to realize that the path to a perfect love was paved with pain. And no matter how much they try to run away from each other, their hearts were born to be one.

Emptiness, disappointment, longing…ever since Eden, wealth, power, pleasure—-even family and friends—-have been unable to fill the vacancy within each heart.

Drawing wisdom from the book of Ecclesiastes, bestselling author David Jeremiah will help you discover the “one thing” necessary for a rich and meaningful life. Gain assurance of who you are, who sent you, and why!

“Searching for Heaven on Earth” by Dr. David Jeremiah offers valuable insights on wisdom and folly, on chance and purpose, and on life and meaning. This is an excellent gift for someone who is wondering his/her purpose in this world. This book was a finalist of both the ECPA Gold Medallion Book Award and the Jordon Christian Book of the Year Award.

Back Cover Text:

Don’t you deserve a little happiness?

They are the questions that plague us:

• Is happiness within my reach?
• Why is life so frustrating?
• Is it too late for me?

Or to put it another way, “Where can I find a little heaven on earth?”

History’s most successful man, Solomon, wondered just that! And as Dr. David Jeremiah shows us, he was a man who tested life’s haunting questions head-on. And tasted life’s riches full-on. And who found his answers in the last place he thought to look.

Listen, then, to his voice. A voice that, if you pay attention, will speak directly to your flesh and bones and heart. A voice that admits: Maybe happiness is an empty hope. Or maybe we’ve simply been looking in all the wrong places…

EMBRACING THE MYSTERIOUS GOD
by James Emery White

One of Christianity Today’s Books of the Year!

We give ourselves to God and then struggle profoundly with the relationship. We are drawn in and then want to flee in fear. We move from faith to doubt, trust to confusion, intimacy to a feeling of abandonment. Coming to faith is like falling in love. It can be a head-over-heels rush to the altar or a slow acceptance that slips into a heartfelt embrace. Either way, eventually romance crashes headlong into reality. Often we make things worse either by feeling guilty about our struggles with doubt or by trying to dismiss them as unimportant or insignificant. We may even become resentful that God does not simply step in to clear up our confusion.When we find ourselves in any of these predicaments, the only way out is to face our uncertainties about God–deliberately and directly.In Embracing the Mysterious God James Emery White explores these struggles we all face–struggles of heart, soul, mind and strength. And struggles to love our neighbors as ourselves. Here you will find your tough questions about God addressed. Better still, you will find the way to renewed faith. [978-971-8573-38-9]
