New inspirational release explores resilience, purpose, and personal growth during life’s most difficult seasons.

Author Nick Robinson announces the release of Thriving in the Wilderness: Discovering the Secrets God Has Hidden in the Dry and Difficult Seasons of Life, an inspirational book written for readers navigating hardship, uncertainty, and seasons of personal challenge.

In Thriving in the Wilderness, Robinson explores the idea that difficult seasons can become turning points rather than setbacks. Through personal reflection, timeless life lessons, and examples of endurance, the book encourages readers to look at hardship as a period of preparation, growth, and renewed direction.

The book examines common struggles such as discouragement, waiting, loss, fear, frustration, and the search for meaning. Robinson presents the “wilderness” as a symbol for the dry and difficult periods people often face, whether emotionally, personally, professionally, or spiritually. Rather than viewing those seasons as wasted time, he invites readers to see them as opportunities to develop strength, character, patience, and purpose.

“I have personally walked through many wilderness experiences,” Robinson shares in the book. “Through these times I have learned to put my trust in the Lord and not lean on my own understanding.”

Thriving in the Wilderness is designed for readers who may feel stuck, overlooked, or uncertain about what comes next. Robinson offers practical encouragement for moving through difficult moments without losing hope, identity, or direction.

The book also includes reflection sections that invite readers to examine their own experiences and consider what they may be learning through the challenges they face. With its accessible message and encouraging tone, Thriving in the Wilderness reminds readers that difficult seasons can shape them for something greater.

Advanced Internet Technologies, Inc. (AIT) is highlighting AIT Email Marketing as a fully managed, browser-based email marketing platform for businesses that want the control of their own email server without the burden of installation, maintenance, or infrastructure management.

As businesses grow, their email marketing needs often become more advanced. Larger contact lists, higher monthly send volume, newsletters, promotions, customer updates, lead nurturing campaigns, and agency-managed workflows all require stronger campaign tools, more flexibility, and more predictable pricing.

AIT Email Marketing is designed for businesses that need more control than many standard email marketing platforms provide, while still keeping the experience simple and fully managed.

The campaign message is simple:

Your Own Email Server for Email Marketing — fully managed, browser-based, and built for high-volume campaigns.

With AIT Email Marketing, businesses can log in through any modern browser and start building campaigns without installing software or managing backend infrastructure. AIT handles the underlying platform so businesses can focus on marketing, audience engagement, and campaign growth.

“AIT was built on helping businesses use internet technology to grow, improve, and profit,” said Clarence Briggs, CEO of AIT. “With AIT Email Marketing, we are giving businesses the control of their own email server while keeping the experience fully managed and browser-based. Our goal is to help clients run serious email marketing campaigns without forcing their teams to deal with installation, maintenance, or infrastructure headaches.”

AIT Email Marketing offers transparent high-volume pricing tiers:

• Tier 1 — $46.74/month: up to 240K emails and 20K contacts
• Tier 2 — $68.00/month: up to 600K emails and 60K contacts
• Tier 3 — $127.50/month: up to 1.5M emails and 100K contacts

The platform provides predictable flat-rate pricing within selected plan limits. If a client outgrows a plan or needs a temporary boost for seasonal campaigns, product launches, or list growth spikes, AIT can extend email and contact limits at additional cost on request.

AIT Email Marketing includes the campaign tools businesses need to build, send, automate, and track email marketing campaigns. Features include custom fields, merge tags, custom subscription forms, advanced segmentation rules, scheduled campaigns, behavior-based automation flows, event-driven triggers, RSS-driven newsletters, real-time analytics, open rate tracking, click tracking per link, bounce and complaint handling, API access, CSV import, and multi-user access with granular permissions.

The platform also supports flexible SMTP integration with providers such as Amazon SES, SendGrid, Mailgun, SparkPost, ZoneMTA, and other SMTP relays. This gives businesses more control over their sending strategy and sender reputation while still using a fully managed email marketing platform.

AIT Email Marketing is a strong fit for small businesses with growing email lists, marketing agencies managing client campaigns, e-commerce brands sending promotions and customer updates, SaaS companies sending onboarding and product communications, publishers using RSS-driven newsletters, larger teams needing multi-user permissions, and organizations sending high-volume, permission-based email campaigns.

Email marketing remains one of the most valuable owned marketing channels for businesses because it gives companies a direct way to communicate with their audience. AIT Email Marketing helps businesses strengthen that channel with transparent pricing, scalable sending capacity, automation, segmentation, analytics, SMTP flexibility, and managed infrastructure.

With the appeal of “Your Own Email Server for Email Marketing” and the convenience of a fully managed browser-based platform, AIT Email Marketing gives businesses a practical way to manage serious email campaigns without adding technical burden to their teams.
