Paper Bag For Anna
$19.36
Fifty-five year old Anna Mercer stood and looked out the window as her mind drifted to a memory as clear as her favorite view out the back window of their home. It had revealed lush green rolling hills, sprinkled with wild flowers in summer; a multi-colored patchwork quilt in fall; and blanket of sparkling white in winter. The beautiful view had continued unmarred for miles, framed by thick woods that added their own distinct dimension. Anna gladly yielded to the warmth it generated, but tears soon followed and spilled down her cheeks. Yet the comfort continued to embrace her-she’d had no time for this welcome indulgence as six months earlier, her husband Jerry had died of cancer and she had just sold their home of thirty-seven years.
Charlene Reid pens a whimsical work of fiction in A Paper Bag for Anna. With the tragic loss of her husband, Jerry Mercer, to cancer, Anna, finds herself coming to terms with her new life after him. A Paper Bag for Anna compiles wholesome and sensitive messages reflecting the love of family, tender romantic relationships, marriages, and most importantly, exploring a faithful Christian’s connection to God.
A Paper Bag for Anna shows tremendous courage. Anna is compassionate and devoted to her family and friends she meets along the way, sharing a prime example of God’s love. A Paper Bag for Anna is hopeful and uplifting, delicately weaving the moments of life to contribute to Anna’s transformation and evolution.

Contagious Faith : Discover Your Natural Style For Sharing Jesus With Other
$18.99As a follower of Christ you know–at least deep down–that you were created for more than just loving your family, building your career, or attending weekly church services. We were made to share God’s love with others in ways that can impact their lives and redirect their eternities.
But few of us are naturally comfortable doing this. We wrestle with internal fears, a lack of preparation, and the sense that reaching out to others might force us to act like someone we’re not. We want to encourage people spiritually, but we don’t want to get weird or overbearing in the process. We need to be equipped to talk to people about Jesus in ways that fit our God-given personalities, and we would benefit greatly from an infusion of fresh inspiration and practical ideas.
In Contagious Faith, bestselling author and teacher Mark Mittelberg introduces you to the five Contagious Faith Styles–Friendship-Building, Selfless-Serving, Story-Sharing, Reason-Giving, and Truth-Telling–and helps you discover which of these approaches (or combination of them) will enable you to naturally share your faith in Jesus with the people around you. He also explains in a down-to-earth fashion several key skills that will help you communicate your faith in infectious ways, illustrating his message with real-life accounts of ordinary believers who applied these principles for extraordinary impact.
Mark Mittelberg was the primary author of the celebrated Becoming a Contagious Christian course, through which he helped nearly two million people around the world learn to communicate their faith. Now, with clear teaching, compelling stories, and inspiring motivation, his new Contagious Faith book will help you share the good news of Jesus effectively–even in our increasingly resistant culture.
