A woman takes on the persona of a dead prostitute. All are in search of that which eludes them: an acknowledgement of a shared past, the fulfillment of a secret desire, a n tenuous connection made whole. Within I AM HOLDING YOUR HAND an array of tender, stark, authentic, and sometimes very lost souls discover a reason to live through their capacity to see beauty in the everyday and instead of coming to conclusions, they discover a way to begin again. "I AM HOLDING YOUR HAND is a heartfelt collection of deaths: deaths of people, dreams, love, and hope.

This heartwarming picture book reassures children that a parent’s love never lets go—based on the poignant lyrics of JJ Heller’s beloved lullaby “Hand to Hold.” “May the living light inside you be the compass as you go / May you always know you have my hand to hold.” With delightful illustrations and an engaging rhyme scheme, this book offers the promise of security and love every child’s heart longs to know. From skipping stones and counting stars to climbing trees and telling stories, every moment is wrapped snugly in the certain warmth of a parent’s presence and God’s blessing.

Book Description
What does the Bible say about dating? Nothing. And everything! This book offers a biblical view of relationships and provides insight on issues of commitment, attraction, and more. The challenge before us is to think biblically about an activity that isn't in the Bible and that may expose us to worldly attitudes and behaviors. When you date someone, you're more than just holding another's hands; you're holding that person's heart. We hope to show in this book that the Bible presents profound instruction and wisdom that may be directly applied to dating and that will help us to be blessed in dating relationships. - Publisher.

Book Description
Did you ever have the feeling that God was with you, sitting beside you, and walking with you? For Michael Arterberry, experiencing God's presence is a daily occurrence and one that has brought him through some of life's toughest moments. Inspiring and motivational, God Was Holding My Hand shares Michael's journey of coming to know the Lord. From his tumultuous childhood with a distant, complicated father to the day in 2001 when he accepted Christ as his savior--and every day since--he shows how he came to put his faith in God and accept God's plan for his life. Written in a conversational style by his wife, Rachel, Michael's narrative explores the highs and lows of life and how Michael met God in each one. From his marriage to Rachel and his volunteer work at a local prison to a foot injury that turned into surgery on his spinal cord, events drew Michael closer to God at every turn, with the awareness that He was holding his hand the entire time. His compelling testimony calls Christians to look deeper into their relationship with God and to trust that He has a Divine plan and purpose for their lives.

Book Description
New York Times bestseller What is Jesus worth to you? It's easy for American Christians to forget how Jesus said his followers would actually live, what their new lifestyle would actually look like. They would, he said, leave behind security, money, convenience, even family for him. They would abandon everything for the gospel. They would take up their crosses daily... But who do you know who lives like that? Do you? In Radical, David Platt challenges you to consider with an open heart how we have manipulated the gospel to fit our cultural preferences. He shows what Jesus actually said about being his disciple--then invites you to believe and obey what you have heard. And he tells the dramatic story of what is happening as a "successful" suburban church decides to get serious about the gospel according to Jesus. Finally, he urges you to join in The Radical Experiment -- a one-year journey in authentic discipleship that will transform how you live in a world that desperately needs the Good News Jesus came to bring.

Book Description
The Marriage Miracle is a user-friendly, Scripture-based, story-driven book that will encourage all couples with the good news that there is no difficulty or disappointment in marriage that two softened hearts cannot overcome. Bob and Cheryl Moeller, who developed this book out of years of experience working with married couples, show convincingly that if a husband and wife soften their hearts toward each other, it becomes a matter of when, not if, they resolve their relationship struggles. The Moellers provide readers solid answers to three critical questions. In the process, they help couples uncover the condition of their heart toward their spouse and find the road home again to acceptance and intimacy: Why do the hearts of husbands and wives grow hard? How can husbands and wives soften their hardened hearts? How can husbands and wives keep their hearts soft toward each other? The Marriage Miracle walks couples through the liberating experience of softening their hearts toward one another, setting them free to embrace all that God intended their relationship to be.
