Beyond The Fairy Tale
$13.49
Haven’t we all seen pictures of cute giraffes, cuddly bears, and Old Man Noah smiling happily as they sail along in the Ark or Jonah depicted relaxing comfortably inside the “whale”? Great descriptions for fairy tales, but not factual! In Beyond the Fairy Tale, Simply Put, you’ll listen to a father’s graphic agony as the Flood waters rise. You’ll dive to the depths with Jonah. You’ll relive Samson’s life as he faces death. You’ll sit with Job through his excruciating suffering. You’ll witness the vile and horrifying death of Jesus Christ upon Calvary’s Cross. But you’ll stand in awe at His empty tomb. Praise God! Beyond the Fairy Tale, Simply Put takes you beyond the world’s trivialized versions of these biblical happenings. Through first-person narration, the reader comes to a better understanding of not only the events themselves, but also the principles behind each happening and how these principles can be applied to our daily lives.

Mothers And Daughters Of The Bible Speak
$26.99Add to cartGod always keeps His promises, but not always in the way we expect….
“Have faith” is a phrase we hear all the time. But what does it actually look like to live it out? In The Mothers and Daughters of the Bible Speak, Shannon Bream examines the lives of biblical women to see how God’s plans can turn our worlds upside down. She tells the story of Jochebed, a mother who took enormous risks to protect her son, Moses, from Pharaoh. Could Jochebed have imagined that God’s actual design for her son involved flight into exile and danger? And yet this was all part of the master plan to deliver Israel from slavery. Another biblical mother, Rebekah, made terrible choices in an attempt to ensure her son’s place in history. And a daughter, Michal, struggled to keep her faithless father, Saul, from sin, while battling pride in herself.
Through these stories, Shannon explains the intimate connection between faith and family–and how God’s unexpected agenda can redefine the way we think about family. Not all of these mothers and daughters in the Bible were paragons of virtue. Like us, they were human beings who faltered and struggled to do their best. While some heard God’s voice, others chose their own paths. Through the lens of their imperfections, we can see how God used their stories to bring about His divine plans. He’s still doing the same work in our lives today.
The Mothers and Daughters of the Bible Speak shows that faith is more often a twisting road than a straight line. Yet, as the stories of biblical families attest, at the end of these journeys lies greater peace and joy than we could ever imagine.
