Wild Hope : Stories For Lent From The Vanishing
$19.99
Come alive this Lent in winsome stories of the world’s wild ones. Magnificent, delicate, intricate–and vanishing–each of these creatures stirs in us deep memories of a more beautiful world and an ache for its return. Such a resurrection, we see, is a wild–not impossible–hope.
Wild Hope: Stories for Lent from the Vanishing taps both our fascination with wild animals and our emerging willingness to hear their whole story. Twenty-five story-portraits paint the awe-inspiring beauty of creatures from polar bears to pangolins–and describe simply, without sensation, the ways they are dying. Here too are humans whose open hearts know these creatures as kin and who act to save them. Throughout Lent the book draws readers into the rapt attention a good nature documentary compels.
In the season of remembering and renewal, these vivid story-portraits can restore our deep, primal bonds with Earth’s wild creatures. Filled with wonder, and feeling the suffering of these “least ones” as our own, we rediscover our longing for the Garden we once shared. That peaceable kingdom can seem as implausible as The Resurrection. Yet in these stories we catch glimpses of that Wild Hope appearing in the world.

Faith Still Moves Mountains
$28.99From FOX News anchor and author Harris Faulkner comes a collection of powerful, true-life stories of resilience, healing, rescue, and protection.
We need reminders of God’s power now more than ever.
We often think about prayer as a wish list, with God as Santa Claus. The reality is that the power of prayer reminds us not only how small we are, but also how big God is. Prayer is hope put into action. And prayer works.
From the aftermath of the devastating earthquake in Haiti to the theater shooting in Aurora, Colorado, believers testify to how God inspired hope even when all seemed lost.
Two teenagers who were saved from treacherous seas by a vessel named Amen now give thanks for the rescue that changed their lives. A woman’s near-death experience with COVID-19 turned out to be the crisis freeing her from despair. Others speak to how prayer helped them navigate family trauma, overcome abuse, and cope with mental illness and depression. Historical accounts of miracles testify to God’s power throughout time, and Faulkner recounts the role of faith and prayer in her own life and the life of her father.
Along with these stories of God’s presence, the book includes an exclusive packet of newly written prayers. Created to reflect the current times, this prayer booklet will provide a road map for putting the lessons of these stories into action.
Faith Still Moves Mountains reminds us that God’s light always shines through the darkness. Through these testimonies, we learn prayer isn’t just a ritual, it’s a vital spiritual strategy in a world that wants us to give up the fight.
