Book Description
THIS HIGHLY GIFTABLE DELUXE EDITION OF THE BESTSELLER INCLUDES THREE ALL-NEW CHAPTERS Motherhood is hard. In a world of five-step lists and silver-bullet solutions to become perfect parents, mothers are burdened with mixed messages about who they are and what choices they should make. If you feel pulled between high-fives and hard words, with culture’s solutions only raising more questions, you’re not alone. But there is hope. You might think that Scripture doesn’t have much to say about the food you make for breakfast, how you view your postpartum body, or what school choice you make for your children, but a deeper look reveals that the Bible provides the framework for finding answers to your specific questions about modern motherhood. Emily Jensen and Laura Wifler help you understand and apply the gospel to common issues moms face so you can connect your Sunday morning faith to the Monday morning tantrum. Discover how closely the gospel connects with today’s motherhood. Join Emily and Laura as they walk through the redemptive story and reveal how the gospel applies to your everyday life, bringing hope, freedom, and joy in every area of motherhood.

Book Description
A landmark in the conversation about race and religion in America. "They put him to death by hanging him on a tree." Acts 10:39 The cross and the lynching tree are the two most emotionally charged symbols in the history of the African American community. In this powerful new work, theologian James H. Cone explores these symbols and their interconnection in the history and souls of black folk. Both the cross and the lynching tree represent the worst in human beings and at the same time a thirst for life that refuses to let the worst determine our final meaning. While the lynching tree symbolized white power and "black death," the cross symbolizes divine power and "black life" God overcoming the power of sin and death. For African Americans, the image of Jesus, hung on a tree to die, powerfully grounded their faith that God was with them, even in the suffering of the lynching era. In a work that spans social history, theology, and cultural studies, Cone explores the message of the spirituals and the power of the blues; the passion and of Emmet Till and the engaged vision of Martin Luther King, Jr.; he invokes the spirits of Billie Holliday and Langston Hughes, Fannie Lou Hamer and Ida B. Well, and the witness of black artists, writers, preachers, and fighters for justice. And he remembers the victims, especially the 5,000 who perished during the lynching period. Through their witness he contemplates the greatest challenge of any Christian theology to explain how life can be made meaningful in the face of death and injustice.

Book Description
Crossing the boundaries of genre with its unrivalled storytelling, Diana Gabaldon’ s new novel is a gift both to her millions of loyal fans and to the lucky readers who have yet to discover her. In the ten years since her extraordinary debut novel, Outlander, was published, beloved author Diana Gabaldon has entertained scores of readers with her heart-stirring stories and remarkable characters. The four volumes of her bestselling saga, featuring eighteenth-century Scotsman James Fraser and his twentieth-century, time-travelling wife, Claire Randall, boasts nearly 5 million copies in the U.S. The story of Outlander begins just after the Second World War, when a British field nurse named Claire Randall walks through a cleft stone in the Scottish highlands and is transported back some two hundred years to 1743. Here, now, is The Fiery Cross, the eagerly awaited fifth volume in this remarkable, award-winning series of historical novels. The year is 1771, and war is approaching. Jamie Fraser’ s wife has told him so. Little as he wishes to, he must believe it, for hers is a gift of dreadful prophecy – a time-traveller’s certain knowledge. To break his oath to the Crown will brand him a traitor; to keep it is certain doom. Jamie Fraser stands in the shadow of the fiery cross – a standard that leads nowhere but to the bloody brink of war.

Book Description
With retirement about to begin and RV traveling planned, author Beth Ana is dealing with sadness that sometimes overwhelms her. She wonders why. "What is wrong with me? I should be so excited and eager for this life to start!" The inner voice of God that has led her for over forty-five years leads her now to return to the journals that were written over her married life. She is impressed with the knowledge that there is where she will find the answers and the help needed to bring her joy back. Not only is she to go back to the past, God also tells her to write the story about this journey. She rebels at that notion, for it means revisiting past hurts and struggles and who wants to go back there. Plus, she wonders, "Just who would be interested in my life story?" God's reply "Read the journals." To her surprise, as she begins to start the journey back, she finds that indeed the roots causing her sadness are still buried within. To her added surprise, as she begins her RV travels, the entries of the past connect to the events occurring now, and God uses all to answer a prayer cried out two years into her marriage: "Do something about him; change him, change him like you did St. Paul." God works in wondrous mysterious ways, and just how He changes Beth's life and marriage is well, that is part of your "journey" as you read My Journey--My Cross.

Book Description
This book is about getting up after the Fall. It’s about steadfast trust and truth in God and His Word. Even in our weakest moments, God remains the same. He doesn’t change because we encounter situations. This book is about the flesh, feelings, and faith. It’s about God’s faithfulness even when aren’t. It’s about the effects of sin, shame, remorse, regrets, and The Redeeming Power of God's Faithfulness. It’s about the "Get Up" because the fall ain’t final. It’s about the Blessed assurance of conviction, repentance, confession, correction, and counsel. I will forever proclaim God is faithful and can be trusted. In life, we will be tested, tried, and tempted. Those are facts! But the Truth is when we trust the truth of God’s Word, He causes us to triumph in Christ Jesus every time. God can be trusted with our ups, downs, ins, and outs, yes’s, and help me’s. So with great honor and appreciation, I expose my lesson, because faithful is He who has called us He will also do it. He will perfect and perform those things that concern us. Scripture says in Revelations 12:11 KJV “And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony, and they loved not their lives unto the death”. I pray as you find yourself in life’s twists and turns, you will always know that God cares, He can and He will. He’s no respecter of persons...HE SO LOVED! His love covers a multitude of sins and He can be trusted! He’s not like us, He never gives up on us! So as you read this memoir, know there’s always a Come up and Come out in God. God is the Answer and His Answer is Jesus. Period! Sincerely shared, Love Sister Nina Haliburton (Daughter of the King)
