Guides Greatest Faith Stories
$16.79Add to cartAs the shouts from above came closer, the bear stopped long enough to raise its head and sniff. It was ten feet from the boat now. Stanley could see its beady eyes and hear its deep, guttural grunts as it fought for breath.
What should he do?
Stanley’s eyes darted desperately from the bear to the timberline and back to the bear. “Dear Jesus,” he prayed, his heart pounding, “make Dad come, please!”

Christmas In My Heart Book 24
$21.79Add to cartIn a world that oftentimes seems to have lost its moorings, where knowledge increases at such a dizzying rate that no one can keep up with it, it is good to back away from it all in islands of serenity-and ponder the deeper meaning.
Which brings each of us to the ultimate question: Where in all this nonstop chaotic frenzy of hype and self-promotion is God?
When we do this, inevitably our thoughts travel back, back, back in time to a lowly stable in a little hamlet called Bethlehem, inside which a baby was being born. And high overhead: a blazing star.
Christmas was also born that day.

Outrageous Grace : Finding A Forever Friendship With God
$3.39Add to cartAngry? Gentle? Cruel? Kind?
What is God really like?
In Outrageous Grace, popular author and pastor Dwight Nelson isn’t afraid to tackle the questions that arise from the diverse biblical descriptions of God. Admitting that the Old Testament portrayals of a harsh God are difficult for many Christians to focus on, Nelson skillfully guides the reader through texts that demonstrate how God works with individuals in the ways that will most effectively touch their hearts.
Focusing on principles revealed in the parable of the prodigal son, Nelson shows us that God values relationships, not rules. God is a parent, teacher, leader, and friend. Most of all, He is a God of outrageous grace-a relentless lover and an unconditional forgiver whose loving goal is to take His children home to heaven.

Counsels To Parents Teachers And Students
$36.29Add to cartIn Co-operation With Christ
Counsels to Parents, Teachers, and Students presents instruction specific to Seventh-day Adventists. It is different in this regard from the masterpiece, Education, in which Ellen white addresses issues intended for a broader, more general reading public. As the subject develops, there are clearly set forth the responsibilities and duties of parents, heartening counsel to guide the teachers in their work, and practical instruction to those who devote the years of their youth in preparing for a life of service. -
Surviving Grief : A Personal Journey
$8.67Add to cartAuthor Sandy Zaugg knows something about hardships and trials. When her children were 8 and 13, she lost her husband to colon cancer. Nine years later, her son died as a result of an automobile accident. This book is the honest rendition of one woman’s struggle through devastating grief and her ultimate realization that reaching out to others is often the best healer.
No two experiences are the same. Adults grieve differently than children. Women grieve differently than men. Death resulting from a long, drawn-out illness differs from sudden unexpected loss. Loss by suicide isn’t the same as loss through an act of violence. Zaugg doesn’t pretend to have the answers for everyone. What she does offer are some very candid, practical suggestions (no matter what your loss or circumstance) for facing the future – moment by moment, day by day, year by year. -
Surprised By Love
$4.49Add to cartWhen was the last time it happened to you? Perhaps your husband sent you flowers for no reason at all, your child turned around and blew you a kiss from the steps of the school bus, or your parents sent you on a cruise, just because.
This is the story of our Creator-Redeemer and the greatest “love surprise” of all time. It surprised Adam and Eve. It surprised the deceitful serpent. It surprised the adulterous woman of John 8. It surprised the Pharisees. It surprised the disciples. It even surprised the heavenly angels. And it continues to surprise us today.
“The deceiver thought that he had outsmarted God! He never expected that love would win. Perhaps, humans themselves thought that they were beyond redemption! But, ‘where sin increased, grace abounded all the more’ (Romans 5:20)
Maybe you’ve heard the story before. Maybe this is your first time. Either way, when you behold the unexpected rescue of God’s children, you will be amazed at His love – at His passion for His children, and you will be surprised by love.

God Was There
$7.27Add to cartMurder, suicide, drug raids,-through it all-God was there.And so was police chaplain, Martin Weber.
These true stories of victims and criminals expose a side of life that most of us are fortunate to never experience. But the pain of crime and sin is very real and very personal. Go along with Chaplain Weber as he stands with others in their greatest times of need. You will meet:
A murderer who confesses his crime-with the blood still on his hands.
A man dying from Aids-who asked for anointing and wanted to go home to his Adventist family.
A woman whose husband dropped dead-while they were arguing.
A young man traumatized by seeing his family killed-in front of his own eyes.We are all sinners. We need a refuge, a place of grace to which we can escape. Christianity has much to say about the historic Jesus on the streets of long-ago Galilee. Adventists look forward to the Second Coming of Christ and the new heavens and the New Earth. But we need Jesus now!
The Bible offers a much-overlooked solution. Between the first-century Savior and our everlasting Lord, Jesus is an always present help in times of trouble. “Since then we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession.” (Hebrews 4:14).
Think you know someone beyond hope? Think again. In the midst of our pain, God is always there.
