When God Became Apparent
$16.49Add to cartWhen a parent dies during a child’s growing-up years, the change is monumental. An alternate shaping of life and self begins; an influence is lost; the creation of memories is halted. Living with the loss from that point on means living a new way of life.

The reader will often be moved to tears by the heartfelt insights of adults who experienced the early death of a parent-a parent that cannot be present at graduations, weddings, births, and everyday conversations-a parent that is not available to give advice or be a grandparent.

Darren’s book will help readers to understand this loss and those who live with it. It also offers hope to anyone connected to the early loss of a parent.

Upside Down Marriage
$13.49Add to cartJust for fun let’s view our marriages like a coach would view building a successful athletic team… We have to decide whether or not we are going to be spectators or players. Watching a basketball game is fun. Attending a pep rally for our favorite team is exciting. Having season tickets is nice. But this is one game we do not want to be sitting in the stands watching others play the game. We do not want to be on the sidelines cheering for our team or for our families. This is one game, one adventure we want to come away with sweat on our brow, dirt on our pants, soreness in our muscles, and a heart filled with excitement. We do not want to be left behind while other couples move ahead in their marriages. Marriage is the adventure of a lifetime. The game of all games. The sport of all sports. A healthy marriage, a healthy home is worth the price. It is worth the hard work. It is worth the sweat equity. It is one game we should not mind getting banged up and bruised. It is one game in which we do not want to miss the practices. We will become better husbands due to the hard work and the practicing.

60 Things God Said About Sex
$16.99Add to cartIn many TV shows, the characters move from partner to partner, making sex the be-all and end-all of the male-female relationship. In many magazines, the advertised topics are centered on sex-good sex, better sex, more sex. The entertainment shows are focused on who’s having sex with who. Sex, sex, sex. It’s everywhere! But the only thing that seems to be a definite is that people are trying to find happiness through sexual relationships. God created sex for a specific purpose–and created it good. Sex is a gift from God. The Bible candidly deals with sex (more so than many modern sex manuals!), and this book is forthright in presenting the biblical view of sex as a gift from God, its intended use, and the spiritual parallel of a husband and wife’s sexual union as a symbol of the sacred consummation of Christ and His bride–the church. In this straightforward explanation of the biblical view of sex, Lester Sumrall will show you that the best way to have sex is God’s way. This book is perfect for couples about to get married, parents who think it’s about time to have “that talk” with their child, or anyone who finds that the world’s view of sex isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.
