Book Description
“Always preach to broken hearts and you will never lack for a congregation,” an old saying goes. And for that reason, this book is for everyone—because there are many, many things that break our hearts. Sicknesses, spiritual depression, disabilities, painful memories, strained relationships... all of these weigh on Christians’ hearts at one time or another. And even when our hearts feel light, there is a longing that runs through us—a crying of the soul for eternity, for a new heavens and a new earth. Yet even in the midst of our heartache, we know there is a faith that comes from Jesus Christ that not only encourages us through our pain, but can even transform our pain... as long as we let it. And here is a collection of warm, pastoral messages, filled with personal illustration, that does just that: helps the brokenhearted Christian to locate the God of all comfort in the center of all pain. We are not left there, either; Mike Milton takes us a step further to see how the gospel actually transforms our private pain into personal praise. So read and discover how God uses the things that seek to destroy us to become the very things that bring us salvation, bring us hope, bring us to prayer, bring us together, and ultimately bring us to heaven.

Book Description
“Songs in the Night” is a poetic phrase from Job 35:10 which describes God’s strength given to believers to sing and praise God while in affliction. Spurgeon describes the origin of the songs, the content of the songs, the different qualities of the songs, and how God might use the songs. Spurgeon exhorts us “to carry a smile, for you will cheer up many a poor, wayward pilgrim by it.” This is the complete version of this very popular sermon and was updated to modern language.

Book Description
A unique and extraordinary collection, Desert Songs of the Night presents some of the finest poetry and prose by Arab writers, from the Arab East to Andalusia, over the last 1,500 years. From the mystical imagery of the Qur'an and the colourful stories of The Thousand and One Nights, to the powerful verses of longing of Mahmoud Darwish and Nazik al-Mala'ika, this captivating collection includes translated excerpts of works by the major authors of the period, as well as by lesser known writers of equal significance. Desert Songs of the Night showcases the vibrant and distinctive literary heritage of the Arabs. Beautifully produced, this is the ideal book for lovers of world literature and for those who seek an acquaintance with gems of Arab thought and expression. 'Desert Songs of the Night is a wonderful introduction to fifteen centuries of a literature still largely unknown in the West, without which much of our civilizations would not have developed as they have, from the rediscovery of Aristotle by Arab commentators to the lyric poetry of Europe, from the magical world of the Arabian Nights to the modern revolutionary poets of Palestine. Absolutely essential reading for our troubled times.' Alberto Manguel 'At a time when the world is obsessing about violence and bloodletting in the Arab world, this remarkable anthology, which spans 1,500 years of Arab literary genius, is a stark reminder of the untold story we keep missing about the region.'

Book Description
Beverly Jan Norberg knows that even though life is filled with many obstacles, mountains, and valleys, God has been with her through every step as a faithful friend who never leaves or forsakes her. In an inspirational retelling of her spiritual journey, Norberg relies on journals, scrapbooks, photo albums, ministry records, and other documents to chronicle her story, beginning with a childhood immersed in prayer, healings, Billy Graham and Oral Roberts crusades, and campus crusades for Christ. As she relays her varied experiences, she details the growing pains of ministry as well as the pitfalls that some of the faithful experienced along the way while shining a light on God’s mercy and faithfulness. Additionally, she shares insight into her personal relationships with those who stumbled and how she walked with them as they finished their race. Throughout her memoir, Norberg provides encouragement not only to those who have walked with God for decades, but also to those who are just beginning their journeys. Songs in the Night chronicles a Christian’s walk of faith as she learned that nothing surprises Him, even when it goes against His plan and purposes.

Book Description
"Songs in the Night" is the author's deeply personal account of how God has molded, taught and led her through the trials He has allowed in her life. The most important aspect of her story is how she shares the “fruit” of her suffering—the joys, the miracles, the blessings, and the close walk she has with Jesus. She has patiently endured and trusted that He would bring her through the trials and teach priceless lessons along the way. These lessons are beautifully captured in "Songs in the Night", written with the desire that it will touch the lives of those who need encouragement and hope in the midst of life's uncertainties.
