Sound Of Gods Applause
$15.99Add to cartToo often we lose our way in this world trying desperately to gain the praise of others – and neglecting the one opinion that matters most. But in this uplifting and hope-filled book, Les Hughes reminds us that as long as we look to God for approval, we will always make the right decisions and never lose sight of our Christian purpose. Just as Jesus’ disciples were to please their master rather than satisfy crowds, kings, and other mortals, we must humbly say and do what we know is right in God’s eyes, regardless of what people may think. The Sound of God’s Applause draws rich and inspiring examples from the Bible of Christians who follow the teachings of Christ in the face of fearful opposition. It also recounts stories of contemporary Christians who put God’s opinion ahead of the world’s and celebrates the remarkable fruits of their faith. Most important, The Sound of God’s Applause will give you the inspiration and biblical foundation you need to stop worrying about what others think of you, and find joy in a life spent pleasing God.

Later : A Journey Of Hope For When Everyone Survives
$19.99Add to cartIT JUST SO HAPPENS that sometimes life is stranger than fiction. It just so happens that sometimes life takes dramatic and unexpected turns.

Later is a story about the struggle between hope and fear and how we treat each during the battle. It just so happens that life is what it is and that hope is eternal. Come take this journey with us and see why it proves that nothing “just so happens”. “Later”.

Sin Temor – (Spanish)
$15.99Add to cartEach sunrise seems to bring fresh reasons for fear. They’re talking layoffs at work, slowdowns in the economy, flare-ups in the Middle East, turnovers at headquarters, downturns in the housing market, upswings in global warming. The plague of our day, terrorism, begins with the word terror. Fear, it seems, has taken up a hundred-year lease on the building next door and set up shop. Oversized and rude, fear herds us into a prison of unlocked doors. Wouldn’t it be great to walk out? Imagine your life, wholly untouched by angst. What if faith, not fear, was your default reaction to threats? If you could hover a fear magnet over your heart and extract every last shaving of dread, insecurity, or doubt, what would remain? Envision a day, just one day, where you could trust more and fear less. Can you imagine your life without fear?
Cada amanecer parece traer nuevasrazones para sentir temor.Hablan de despidos en el trabajo,disminucion del ritmo de la economia, brotes de violencia en el Medio Oriente,bajas en el mercado de lavivienda, subidas en el calentamiento global.

Love Has A Face (Reprinted)
$15.00Add to cartUnforgettable Memoir of a Woman Bringing the Love of Jesus to the Orphans of Sudan
Termites for dinner. Bombs in the backyard. A nation torn by decades of war still on the brink. Can one life really make a difference here?
Born without her left hip and leg, Michele Perry is no stranger to seeming impossibilities. So when she arrived in war-torn Southern Sudan–with little more than her faith in God’s promises–she did what everyone told was crazy: she opened a home for orphaned children in the middle of guerilla warfare territory and has now become “mama” to over one hundred little lives.
With a deft pen, she recounts unforgettable stories of life in the bush, stories that capture the reader with the stark realities of living in a war zone-and the power of God’s love to transform them. Her own story is just as compelling as the ministry she is living. From working in the slums of India to finding her home in war-ravaged Africa, her life has been a journey deeper into the supernatural power of God.
Captivatingly honest, readers will be swept up in one woman’s poignant, spellbinding journey of love and the glimpses of God’s tender grace and mercy in the midst of a broken and hurting world.

Forgiven But Not Forgotten
$15.49Add to cartBeloved, do not avenge yourselves, but rather give place to wrath; for it is written, “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” says the Lord. (Romans 12:19) Is it possible to forgive and forget when others intentionally hurt us? The author posits that it’s possible to forgive and forget if God is at the center of the rebuilding process ….and the following steps are practiced…. Praying for the ability to recognize perpetrators’ motives. Acknowledging that perpetrators have issues with jealousy, envy, sense of entitlement, or whatever in your God-given wisdom you determined their problem to be. Asking God to renew a right spirit within perpetrators, as well as ensuring that you do not possess similar characteristic. Dialoguing with offenders to increase awareness of the painfulness of their actions. In praying, through God you are able to forgive…..realizing that the battle is not yours…but the Lord’s. Accepting apologies, and praying with perpetrators immediately thereafter to remove the yoke of unforgiveness. Mabel is a young girl, whose parents’ reckless decisions dealt her a cruel blow in life. She embarked on a journey, trying desperately to escape a dysfunctional and abusive home, but the journey took her through ill-treatment and neglect. It was only through others that she learned to bask in droplets of mercies and at times showers of blessings. Mabel practiced the art of forgiving, so as to lessen the crippling weight and burden of unforgiveness, but just as she thought she would triumph and master the art of forgiving and forgetting, disaster struck.

Dress For Anna
$16.95Add to cartEvery little girl loves a pretty new dress, and my daughter Anna was no exception. Trembling with emotion, she ripped open the department store bag that contained her new dress, tights, shoes, and undergarments. Then she pulled out the lavender floral print dress, caressing the silk lining and rubbing her face in the soft fabric.
?Platya,? she whispered. Dress. The quiet was only momentary, though as the reality of the situation sank in. ?Platya,? she then cheered. ?Halya doma.? Halya is going home.
Although it was the first time in her life that she had ever owned any piece of clothing, it was not the dress that brought such emotion, but what it represented. The new dress meant that it was finally the day that Halya (whom we would name Anna) would leave the orphanage and travel home to live with her new family. It was a day she had awaited for over three years, and a day that I had worked for nearly as long.
A Dress for Anna: The Redemption of the Life of a Ukrainian Orphan tells the fascinating story of how God led Deborah and Rob Amend to adopt a handicapped preschooler from an orphanage in Ukraine, and intricately knit her into their family. Beginning with the circumstances that opened their hearts to adoption, continuing through the entire process, and culminating with the difficult adjustments for Anna as she experiences life in a new culture, this book honestly shares the struggles, grief, and joy the Amend family faced as they followed God down the rocky path of international adoption.
This powerful narrative not only provides readers with a clear understanding of the often challenging aspects of adoption, particularly for special needs children, it also offers inspiration by illustrating just how much an average, ordinary family can do when listening to God and following His call.

Girl In The Orange Dress
$27.99Add to cartInterVarsity Press Publication
“Chosen.” “Special.” Those are the words Margot Starbuck used to describe herself as a child adopted into a loving family. And when her adoptive parents divorced, her dad moved east, and her mom and dad each got remarried, she told herself that she was extra loved, since she had more than two parents and people in different times zones who cared about her.
But the word she really believed about herself was rejected. First by her birthparents. Then by her adoptive father-when he moved away. Then by her stepfather. Then by her birthfather a second time, when she tried to invite him into her life.
Most of all, Margot felt rejected by God the Father, who she also suspected could not be trusted.
With a good dose of humor and a willingness not to take herself too seriously, Margot Starbuck offers us an exuberant, frank and, at times, poignant romp as she searches for the Father who will not fail. You are invited to come along.

Storm clouds gathered on the horizon as the forces of good and evil were about to collide.

The inevitable was about to take place…. All of Heaven Stood Silent… The fate of mankind was about to be sealed as the left side of the scale started to reach its lowest extreme. In who’s favor would the scales of justice tip? Discover who really holds the key to the fate of mankind in this powerful, touching tale written by Native American Christopher Billiot.

En Un Espacio De Tiempo – (Spanish)
$14.99Add to cartConnie Ramon’s writing debut is an inspirational story based on her personal journal, which introduces the reader to a personal struggle of faith and support for a friend whose friendship was relatively new to her. The journey started upon learning that her friend had been abducted. Connie was compelled (and as she later realized, called to serve) to be vigilant in prayer and offer encouraging words that she hoped would reach her friend spiritually. In doing so, she takes us on a journey of faith in which she often struggled with her own impatience. Despite her own family tragedy and other personal issues, she offered relentless support to her friend and her family reassuring them that God’s hand was at work even in the darkest times.
