In Search Of A Peaceful Land
$17.49
In 1831, the year following the French Revolution, many in Germany began pushing for revolution in Germany. Joseph Arnst Garrett had served under Napoleon when he was young, and he had witnessed the horrors of war. He also understood the political-ethnic-cultural makeup in the Fatherland and the fact that Germany had known warfare off and on for centuries, one war lasting for thirty years. He feared for his wife, two sons, and eight daughters, and he determined to take his family to America. But, would Metternich, the present ruler, or the young revolutionaries permit him to go and take his wealth? He owned three thriving businesses as well as his family estate. Johann Joseph Arnst Garrett, as the oldest son, has a hard decision to make: go to America with his family, join the young revolutionaries, or join Metternich’s army. Hendrick Bhonn Haar, a 21-year-old orphan, is a friend of Johann’s and works alongside of Johann in the Garrett family business. He is a Christian in the Brethren sect, which is hated by Catholic and Reformation Protestants alike. And he has fallen in love with Victoria, one of the Garrett daughters. What can come of this? Will he too go to America?

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.
