Seasons Under Heaven
$15.99Add to cartTory Sullivan struggles with the demands of motherhood and her desire for a career. An aspiring writer, she wonders whether she’ll ever be able to develop her talent while raising two young children. But perhaps the problem isn’t a matter of time, but of Tory. Cathy Flaherty is rediscovering the grins and groans of the dating game. The spunky single mother of three teenagers, she’s also learning the urgency of instilling sound values in her children as they attend public school. Sylvia Bryan is an empty-nester. Now that her children are gone, she struggles with a gnawing lack of meaning. Her husband, Harry, wants to become a medical missionary. But for Sylvia, the best part of life seems like nothing but a memory. Brenda Dodd faces an uncertain future. Her nine-year-old son is getting sicker, and there seems to be nothing they can do. It is every mother’s nightmare — a child who will die unless he receives a heart transplant. As the women of Cedar Circle band together to save a dying child, they learn that each moment is precious in every season under the heaven. Taking the best and worst of human circumstances — the tender moments, the laughter, the tragedies, and the triumphs — Beverly LaHaye and Terri Blackstock weave from them a poignant, warmly human novel. Gently uncovering the inner struggles, stresses, and joys that surface among neighbors living in a quiet cul-de-sac, the authors show us the power of ordinary lives being knit into a strong, many-textured fabric of family and friendships. Seasons Under Heaven depicts the deepest emotions of a woman’s heart, and those circumstances, both thrilling and tragic, that test and strengthen Christian faith.

Soul Weavings : A Gathering Of Womens Prayers
$15.00Add to cartContents
Preface
My Whole Being Shouts For JOY
We Are Not Alone
May We Always Be Seekers
On The Way To Goodness
Go Out With Good Courage
And I Will Give You Rest
Acknowledgments P. 149Additional Info
SOUL WEAVINGS: A Gathering of Women’s PrayersAs Christians, we are part of a vast community of believers, most of whom we will never meet. Yet, through their writings, women of other times, places, and cultures can become our companions, encouraging us to take risks, helping us to go on when the way is difficult, teaching us how to pray. Through these companions of the soul God “comes to meet us in the hardest hours,” “challenges us to change the world,” and helps us “to behold God in everything.”
Why use written prayer? A well-written prayer is like a picture, capturing a view of one person’s spiritual landscape. As with pictures, we will be drawn more to some than others. Some prayers will help us to identify how God is already present in us and in the world. Others will become a real encounter with God, transforming us and calling us to respond with our lives. Still others may reveal our longing for the relationships we would like to have with God, and with those around us. Certain prayers become favorite resting places for times when our resources are low; it is easier to accept our own struggles when we find that we are not alone.
Prayer books become like good friends, who sometimes comfort and sometimes challenge us. They connect us with “thoughts higher than our thoughts, prayers better than our prayers, and powers beyond our powers, that we may spend and be spent in the ways of love and goodness.”

I Can See Myself In His Eyeballs
$12.99Add to cartWhat would it be like to get so close to God that we could see ourselves in his eyeballs? Not because we want to look at ourselves, but because we want to be that close to him–to the mysterious, wonderful, invisible God who reveals himself even in temptations, trials, and dangers.
Can you see God when your husband gets a speeding ticket? What about when your daughter wrecks her grandfather’s truck? Is he watching while you drive down the road in a Chevette held together by wire coat hangers?
With her usual sense of southern humor, Chonda Pierce invites us to open our eyes and our sense of humor as she teaches us how to catch God at work, especially in the most unlikely places.

Chonda the comedian has touched thousands of women around the country, from stage or on video. “To see or hear her is to love her,” is the unanimous response.

5. Girls Talk About ViolenceAdditional Info
Adolescent girls are at particular risk in today’s society. They struggle to establish a mature identity after childhood and are barraged with conflicting messages about what it means to be female. In an often hostile and sometimes lethal culture, they also are subject to being exploited, harassed, manipulated, or even abused physically and sexually. But where do religion and spirituality fit? Davis sees spirituality as the realm where girls’ ultimate concerns intersect with their daily ones especially with relationships, lifestyle, and religious conviction. Here, based on more than 100 in-depth interviews with girls from a variety of religious, ethnic, and regional backgrounds, Davis shows how religion actually functions both to help and to hurt in girls’ search for authenticity. Davis’ interviews convey articulately and deeply how spirituality concerns girls’ surmounting hurdles to ground and affirm what they become. -

In 1637 Anne Hutchinson spoke in her own voice declaring that she had received a revelation directly from God. This action led to her excommunication from the Massachesetts Bay Colony because the ordained clergy saw themselves as designated meditators of God’s word to laypeople. But Anne became her own person and a model of womanhood for us over four and one-half centuries later.
Sister Blandina Segale found her own voice when she stopped a lynch mob and kept the Billy the Kid gang from scalping doctors in Colorado in the 1870s.
At the turn of the century, Ida B Wells-Barnett claimed her own voice to expose the evil of lynching propagated against her African American brothers by white persons. Her forthrightness led to the burning of her office and to threats against her life, but she never allowed her voice to be silenced.
Sally Priesand gained her voice to preach and officiate at Jewish religious services when she became the first woman rabbi ordained in the Reform Movement of Judaism in 1972.
Pilulaw Khus, Native American elder of the Chumash tribe, found oil companies to prevent them from desecrating Chumash ceremonial areas in California in the 1980s.These are only a few of the stories told by women in their own voices in this book. Gender and multiculturalism intersect in every chapter as we share accounts of women trying to gain their full and equal stature as persons before God and their sisters and brothers. In Our Own Voices becomes a metaphor of women’s efforts to speak and act as persons with authority in their own right.

2. God As Father In The Old Testament And Second Temple Judaism
3. Jesus And The Father
4. Jesus And The Father In The Synoptic Gospels
5. “Heirs Of God, Heirs With Christ”
6. “The Living Father”Additional Info
What does it mean to confess that God is “The Father of our Lord Jesus Chrst”? The Promise of the Father begins by showing that Judaism’s claim of God as “Father” never attached an ontological gender or “masculine” essence to God. Instead of setting the standard for the conduct for human personal fathers or men in general as some argue, God’s identity as “Father” served as an example for the entire community of faith as one who promotes mercy, justice, and humility. Jesus’ address to God as “Father” thus did not introduce a new private experience of intimacy with the divine, rather, it evoked Israel’s ancient and corporate hope of God’s saving power and covenant faithfulness. Above all then, to speak of God as “Father” signifies the redemptive and life-giving work of God and then only subsequently to human experience of that work. Christians can confess God as “Father of Jesus Christ” because God was first “Father” to the people of Israel and to Israel’s Messiah, Jesus of Nazareth and to the followers of Jesus. -
