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.

Be Like Jesus Study Guide (Student/Study Guide)
$13.99In this eight-session video Bible study (DVD/digital downloads sold separately), pastor and author Randy Frazee explains that our spiritual transformation involves not only thinking and acting like Jesus but also allowing those thoughts and behaviors to shape our attitudes. As we do this, we experience a new way of looking at the world and discover an inner strength that allows us to remain steadfast, secure, and solid in the face of any circumstance. We also discover a new desire to serve others . . . which, in turn, draws them to the love of Christ. We know we are becoming like Jesus when we possess these attributes:
*I have a deep love for God and for the other people in my life.
*I have inner contentment in spite of my circumstances and understand my purpose in life.
*I have freedom from anxiety because I am at peace with God, others, and myself.
*I have experienced the power, through Christ, to control my thoughts and behaviors.
*I have patience in the unavoidable pressures of life and am slow to anger.
*I have the desire to be kind and good in my relationships with others.
*I have established a good name with God and others based on my loyalty to those relationships.
*I have become thoughtful, considerate, and calm in my dealings with others.Grounded in carefully selected scripture, Be Like Jesus is a churchwide discipleship program that will take you on a journey to become more like Jesus in your behaviors. This revised study, adapted from Part 3 of the Believe churchwide study, includes an updated video study and new content and questions adapted from the existing Believe Study Guide and Think, Act, Be Like Jesus by Randy Frazee.
