Helpful Reflections For Difficult Times
$15.99Add to cartHelpful Reflections for Difficult Times is a combination of the author’s own original reflections about how a Christian copes with difficult times, augmented by his favorite Christian authors through direct quotations and paraphrasing of their key concepts. It is written for any Christian going through a difficult time, either currently or in the past; in other words, practically all Christians. The book contains 162 reflections, each preceded by a verse of Scripture which is elaborated upon in the reflection, and concluded with a brief prayer. Helpful Reflections for Difficult Times is best suited as a daily devotional book. It has been a work of love, taking the author over ten years to compile, as he would dedicate each morning to a time of devotion, reading Scripture, and writing his reflections. It is designed to help Christians cope with their difficulties, whether it be some form of suffering, personal crisis, grieving for a loved one, doubting their faith, or a multitude of other problems that we all face from time to time in our lives. The author has been through several difficult times of his own, suffering two bouts with cancer and a financial crisis early in his retirement. He was greatly comforted by Scripture during this time, and he doesn’t want anyone else to go through similar difficult times without the daily words of comfort that are provided in Helpful Reflections for Difficult Times.

1 Breath At A Time
$14.99Add to cartIn secular mainstream America, meditation has become as ubiquitous as yoga. But how does meditation fit into Christianity, and how does it differ from prayer? One Breath at a Time: A Skeptic’s Guide to Christian Meditation reframes meditation for those who consider themselves skeptical about meditation for two reasons: (1) they doubt their ability to be still and quiet, and (2) they doubt the validity of meditation as a Christian spiritual practice. Using scripture, theology, and early church examples, this book challenges Christianity’s chronic need for prayers that leave little room for enough silence to experience and listen for God. Using five modalities-breath meditation, lectio divina, centering meditation, loving-kindness meditation, and devotional meditation-One Breath at a Time provides a practical, 40-day guide to beginning and sustaining a Christian meditation practice in order to deepen our faith in an often chaotic world.

For 100 days, we will step into Maya’s shoes (if we can find them!) and see what we can learn as moms about God’s relationship with us, his will for our lives, and how we can continue to grow in following him.
As moms we are constantly on the lookout for teachable moments with our kids, but this book will help us identify the many learnable moments that God places in our lives every day.

This devotional will have moms laughing at Maya’s mistakes as well as learning from their own.

Divine Friendship : Reflections For Lent
$14.99Add to cartMany of us spend our lives searching for something to satisfy our deepest longings. Yet we will never find complete satisfaction in human relationships, possessions, or personal power. As Saint Augustine wrote, “Our hearts are restless until they find their rest in you [God].” Lent offers us the opportunity to deepen our friendship with God. The idea of being friends with God may intimidate some, but the authors of this book provide practical tips for developing a closer relationship with God. Set aside at least 15 to 20 minutes each day to spend with God, the introduction suggests. Read the scripture texts and reflections, and pay attention to what they evoke in you. Then talk to God about your thoughts and feelings just as you would to your best friend. During Lent Jesus invites us to spend time with him and to renew our friendship with him. This encouraging book reminds us that we are beloved children of a God who deeply desires friendship with us. The meditations help us realize that through friendship with God, we will satisfy our hearts’ yearnings.

GodWink Stories A Devotional
$17.99Add to cartBuilding on the themes in his wildly popular book GodWinks, SQuire Rushnell shows how ordinary peoples’ lives have been profoundly changed by extraordinary moments that are more than coincidence.
There is something more to coincidences than meets the eye. Like winks from a loving parent or grandparent, coincidences or “godwinks” are messages from God that you are not alone and everything will be okay. The true stories in this book reaffirm that godwinks happen to everyone. We just need to learn how to see them, allow them to unfold, and accept them as direct, person-to-person communications from God to each of us.
As you’ll see, those so-called coincidences that you’ve been dismissing so easily really do mean something. And you need to pay attention. They are like unopened gifts that have been placed upon your doorstep.You will be amazed to read how every joy, every hurt, and every worry that you experience has already been written about in the Bible. Godwink Stories simply draws upon the parallel between the stories of real people and God’s wisdom in the scriptures.
Godwink Stories can be read in various ways. You can read the book cover to cover. Or follow along each week for a year. It’s also perfect for a quick pick-me-up that fits your daily need. Whether you’re looking for reassurance or joyful inspiration, there’s a godwink story just for you.
Filled with letters from readers covering such topics as encouragement, health, and love, you too can find God’s presence in your daily life, and be inspired to look for the divine connections that unite us all.
