Book Description
This book is about some of my personal moments, but more it is a book about ways in which we all can face our challenges and overcome them. It is my goal to place in your hands tools for understanding how you build a successful, happy life. I believe that no challenge comes our way without also an equivalent source of strength and understanding to meet it. Through the use of self-help articles interspersed with personal biographical information I hope to demonstrate steps you can take to transform challenges into successful outcomes.

Book Description
Uncommon is a battle cry for women to step out of the ordinary and live differently. It's a blueprint for a life full of passion and purpose. And it has the power to change everything. Carey Scott, author, speaker, and certified Biblical Life Coach, invites you to journey alongside her as she introduces you to women from the Word who chose to live uncommon lives even in the toughest circumstances. From stepping into scandalous situations to breaking cultural norms to risking the departure of a comfortable life, you will discover hope and motivation to live God’s way in a world that screams, “Tuck your faith away! Just be normal like everyone else!” Now more than ever, it's time to step into something new. . .something life-changing and life-giving. God is asking you to shine Him into a world that needs to know there is a better way to live. And when you say yes to becoming uncommon, it's a radical act of obedience to the One who created you to be extraordinary. Uncommon offers personal stories, insights, life lessons, questions for further reflection, and biblical support written especially for women. With authenticity, vulnerability, humor, refreshing boldness and anchored in the Beatitudes, Uncommon will empower you to rise up. . .to reject the common. . .to embrace your calling. . . and to live in a way that points others to God. Buckle up, friend. It's time to be uncommon.

Book Description
One of natures most hopeful sights is a beam of golden sunshine burning through the dark and churning clouds of a raging storm that has just subsided. That is the very picture of Galinas story, quintessentially Russian and very moving; one that will infuse the reader with a feeling of intense hope. It is a must-read for anyone facing an oncoming storm, standing in the midst of one, or still reeling in the devastation of tribulation, tragedy, and loss. Galina grew up in the post-Stalin years of the Soviet Union when Christianity was still the target of state oppression. As a young woman she joined an underground church in the city of Krasnodar and boldly shared her faith. After a romance with a tragic ending she struck out on her own seeking happiness in the sunny seaside city of Yalta on the coast of the Black Sea. Instead her life became an epic struggle of hope versus despair, life and death, even while she was surrounded by the beauty of tsarist palaces and beaches. Her faith had been shaken to its foundations and Soviet society collapsed around her in political and economic chaos. She immigrated to America hoping for a better life. But darkness followed and within its shadows a cataclysmic act played out in Fresno, California, on the evening of January 22, 1999. The horrific drama riveted the attention of the entire city and became the subject of television and newspaper headlines. It left people shocked, bewildered, and saddened. But Galina refused to let despair conquer her. This is the story of Galinas Hope.

Book Description
The author ofLife's Greatest Lessonspresents ten principles of practical wisdom to live by, drawn from readings of both the Old and New Testaments for people of all beliefs. Readers love Hal Urban's books for their common sense, their wisdom, and their inspirational affirmation of timeless values. WithThe 10 Commandments of Common Sense,he continues to build on his central theme -- that there's a direct relationship between good character and the quality of life. He also shows how the teachings of Scripture and the genuine practice of faith can be integral parts of a fulfilling existence. Urban draws on his own lifelong spiritual search -- which has included Protestant churches, the Catholic church, some Eastern philosophies, and human potential psychology -- to produce an ecumenical and nondogmatic examination of the Scriptures, finding in them clear and simple guidance for increasing both purpose and joy in our lives. Five of his principles are do's, as in "Keep a positive outlook on life" and "Bring out the best in other people." The other five are don't's, as in "Don't be seduced by popular culture" and "Don't judge other people." These ten commandments of timeless wisdom will inspire people of all faiths who are searching for more meaning and direction in their lives, no matter where it comes from.

Book Description
Life Manual is a life-transforming book for Christians and those aspiring to live a Christian life. It outlines basic principles for living life carefree.

It involves family stories of Grandma Earp. Most took place in Eastland County of Texas. It involves having to move to a new country to start over. It shares how the family always stayed in touch and how when anyone had a problem, they all joined and helped until the burdened one could walk alone. There was a time of moving on upfrom mules for plowing to a tractor and, finally, to a car. The family went from fireplace heat to butane, from lamps to electric lights, and from iceboxes to refrigerators. Section 3 Roots from the Stump was written by Molly. It involves the family from Molly and Wess grandparents to the present day. And are we related to Wyatt Earp? Are we related to Cynthia Ann Parker and Quanah Parker?

Book Description
Encouragement for the Day: Messages of Inspiration and Challenge expands on the messages Pastor Charles Allard delivered on three North Carolina radio stations in the 1980s and 1990s. The popular daily messages of encouragement were broadcast at random times reaching a wide audience of listeners. High school students riding buses were known to hush their classmates to hear the messages. One listener even called Allard at 1:30 a.m. to tell him that he had just heard one of his messages and that was in a place he should not be—and wanted to turn his life over to Jesus. Topics featured include setting priorities, finding your purpose, giving glory to God, hearing the Lord speak, being patient, counting your blessings, focusing on what matters, and taking responsibility for your actions. Written for daily meditation, prayer, and spiritual growth, the devotional will help you overcome everyday struggles, encourage others to walk with the Lord, and look to Christ for help, strength, and salvation. Hebrews 10:24-25 NIV let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another - and all the more as you see the Day approaching: SPECIAL INCLUSION: A complete guide for home Advent celebration with family and friends.
