Book Description
Michael Jansen grew up in a strong, Christian home. He was a happy, well-adjusted teen-until a dark secret from the past shattered his world. In one instant, everything that the boy thought he knew and could count on wavered and vanished. The world had shifted on its axis, and nothing fit anymore. This teen's journey of discovery reveals the power of Christ-as our personal Savior, who wants to be involved in our daily choices. Michael has a lot to learn-about himself, about the nature of truth, about the importance of titles, and about the power of love. Michael learns that, sometimes, what we view as weakness is actually a gift from God-a gentle strength. Janella Henry lives in Sadler Texas, where she is relishing the recently rediscovered freedom that comes with having new wheels. She enjoys teaching and reading, and she has also had a hand in writing a book of Christian poetry entitled Walking in The Shadow of the Cross.

Book Description
“This book walks each of us through the reality checks we need in order to have the marriage we want!” —Shaunti Feldhahn, social researcher and best-selling author of For Women Only In today’s workplace, women are often rewarded for having type A personalities: driven, demanding, ambitious, and strong. Yet when it comes to their marriages, those same traits can backfire. After all, no one goes into marriage hoping for a promotion. What is a wife to do? April Cassidy knows this struggle firsthand. She thought she was a great Christian wife and begged God to make her passive husband into a more loving, involved, godly leader. Instead, God opened her eyes to changes that she needed to make, such as laying down her desire for control and offering genuine, unconditional respect—not just love—to her husband. Cassidy’s conclusions may be as startling to readers as they were to her, but The Peaceful Wife shares how she and many others have learned to reorient their lives to biblical commands—resulting in healthier, happier marriages. In the end, you’ll find The Peaceful Wife a powerful path to God’s design for women to live in full submission to Christ as Lord.

Book Description
The revered Christian author whose bestselling classics include The Divine Conspiracy and The Spirit of the Disciplines provides a new model for how we can present the Christian faith to others. When Christians share their faith, they often appeal to reason, logic, and the truth of doctrine. But these tactics often are not effective. A better approach to spread Christ’s word, Dallas Willard suggests, is to use the example of our own lives. To demonstrate Jesus’s message, we must be transformed people living out a life reflective of Jesus himself, a life of love, humility, and gentleness. This beautiful model of life—this allure of gentleness—Willard argues, is the foundation for making the most compelling argument for Christianity, one that will convince others that there is something special about Christianity and the Jesus we follow.

Book Description
Profound reflections on the cross that help you to meditate on and marvel at the sacrificial love of Jesus. This book can be used as a devotional, especially during Lent and Easter. These profound reflections on the cross from David Mathis, author of The Christmas We Didn’t Expect, will help you to meditate on and marvel at Jesus’ life, sacrificial death, and spectacular resurrection-enabling you to treasure anew who Jesus is and what he has done. Many of us are so familiar with the Easter story that it becomes easy to miss subtle details and difficult to really enjoy its meaning. This book will help you to pause and marvel at Jesus, whose now-glorified wounds are a sign of his unfailing love and the decisive victory that he has won: “He was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed.” (Isaiah 53:5) This book can be used as a devotional. The chapters on Holy Week make it especially helpful during the Lent season and at Easter.

Book Description
Christians know that God loves them, but can easily feel that he is perpetually disappointed and frustrated, maybe even close to giving up on them. As a result, they focus a lot—and rightly so—on what Jesus has done to appease God’s wrath for sin. But how does Jesus Christ actually feel about his people amid all their sins and failures? This book draws us to Matthew 11, where Jesus describes himself as “gentle and lowly in heart,” longing for his people to find rest in him. The gospel flows from God’s deepest heart for his people, a heart of tender love for the sinful and suffering. These chapters take readers into the depths of Christ’s very heart for sinners, diving deep into Bible passages that speak of who Christ is and encouraging readers with the affections of Christ for his people. His longing heart for sinners comforts and sustains readers in their up-and-down lives.

Book Description
While many non-Indigenous academic researchers have introduced the concept of reconciliation in their work, they have not adequately explored what it means for transnational immigrants and refugee communities to view reconciliation as a source of knowledge and understanding. How can assuming responsibility for reconciliation empower immigrant and refugee women communities? Why should immigrant and refugee communities embrace decolonial and anti-racist ways of knowing and acting to foster meaningful relationships with Indigenous communities? What does it entail to comprehend 'decolonial and anti-racist learning and practice'—as a system of reciprocal social relations and ethical practices—as a framework for reconciliation? Decolonial and Anti-racist Transformative Autoethnographic Journey toward Reconciliation: A Racialized Immigrant Woman’s Empowering Stories aims to address these interdisciplinary questions. It endeavors not only to challenge our static comprehension of reconciliation but also to demonstrate how assuming responsibility for relearning decolonial and anti-racist meanings in our everyday practices is essential. These include: cultivating respectful relationships with Indigenous peoples, honoring Indigenous Treaties, taking steps to decolonize our ways of knowing and acting, understanding the impacts of colonial education processes, preserving our Land and environment, ensuring food security and nutritional adequacy, fostering intercultural spaces for social interactions, and promoting transnational empowerment.

Book Description
In Life Tuneups, Loren Slocum empowers and reminds all women—single, married, working, with or without kids—to recognize their unique gifts, celebrate their inner beauty, and take care of themselves as they juggle the myriad facets of their lives. She insists that when a woman is true to herself, she really can have it all—that she can wake up each day feeling motivated, energized, inspired, and passionate about her life. Each chapter begins by defining a word—woman, journey, passion, great, feminine, balance, space, rituals—and then examines what it means in women’s lives today. Writing in the first and second person, Loren speaks to readers in the same warm and reassuring tone that has earned her such distinction as a personal development seminar leader, speaker, life fulfillment coach—and mom. Life Tuneups shows how true leadership emerges when a woman steers away from the fast lane to martyrhood and begins to move toward rediscovering her inner core. It encourages women to think about the important things in life, and gives examples of others—both everyday women and famous women—who have pulled through difficult situations. And it guides women through the process of achieving balance and happiness in the little things—whether in morning rituals, journaling, or pampering themselves. Self-assessment prompts and questions throughout help women reconnect with their dreams and passions. Ultimately, Life Tuneups teaches women that they must take time for themselves, and it gives them the tools to go from ideology to action, to incorporate real—and lasting—change into their lives.
