Whom Shall I Fear
$23.19Add to cartHow do you pick up the shattered pieces and move on, when your life is being torn apart? Is there something, or Someone, you can really believe in, and depend on, to get you through?
For Mara, life was a literal war zone. Her true story takes us back in time to battle-scarred Serbia in World War I. Violence ripped apart Mara’s family . . . and her heart. When peace comes, at last, Mara seeks a new beginning and settles into a simple country life with Ilija and their growing family.
But a passing remark stirs up a new conflict-this time, in Mara’s conscience. The church of her youth had always provided an oasis from the world’s chaos, and Mara never questioned its teachings. There she found truth-but was it really divine? Or had humans, somehow, tampered with God’s law that was written in stone with His own hand?
Whom Shall I Fear is a powerful book that will bring you courage and help you not just survive, but find hope and victory in the battles of life.

From Sanford’s own troubled past to the heartbreaking stories of the children he and his wife Bonnie have rescued, Wounded Healer is an emotional journey of faith, struggle, and redemption.

Christmas In My Heart Book 14
$20.29Add to cartEven though Christmas in My Heart is now the longest-running Christmas story series in America, none of us take its continued survival for granted. Certainly Joe Wheeler does not. He and his wife, Connie, are determined that each collection will be the best yet. And that is a tall order- yet readers have been telling them year after year, “This is the best one yet!” From the very beginning they have worried, “What if we run out of the best stories?” However, so many heart-touching Christmas stories (new, recent, and old) have flooded in-and the Wheelers have unearthed many more in old magazines and books-that their supply of “five-tissue stories” is greater now than it was at the beginning! For every story that makes it, hundreds do not. Only those stories that deeply touch the heart are admitted into these pages.

Christmas In My Heart Book 21
$20.29Add to cartIt’s truly a miracle in today’s publishing world for any book series to last five – much less twenty years! Yet this is what Christmas in My Heart has done. No one is more surprised at this than Joe Wheeler; he attributes the series’ stubborn refusal to die to be a God-thing. That somehow there is something about each year’s collection of stories that so speaks to hearts everywhere that “completists” (those who have all the books in the series) cannot even imagine facing a new Christmas season without a new collection to feed their souls. This stellar collection features luminaries such as Elizabeth Goudge, Margaret E. Sangster, Temple Bailey, Margaret Weymouth Jackson, Mike Huckabee, David Doig, Christine Whiting Parmenter, Grace Noll Crowell, and Isobel Stewart. In a world where society appears intent on stripping the Christmas season of the divine reason for its very existence, spiritually based Christmas stories such as these may provide a refuge from electronic strangulation, and an opportunity to read aloud heart-tugging stories incorporating values worth living by to children, teens and adults of all ages. Since we become our favorite stories, the right or wrong story-choices will inevitably determine our eternal destinies. – Joseph Leininger Wheeler.

Zion : Champion For God
$14.89Add to cartWhen offered the pick of a litter, she was impressed to choose the ugliest. Little did she suspect that her puppy, a giant schnauzer, was destined for glory. Multimillionaires would write blank checks–“Name your price!”–to buy him.
A natural champion, Zion would win trophy after trophy. “Why don’t you show him on Saturdays?” asked her friends. But a still small voice beckoned her to share her gentle giant with the outcasts, the unfortunate, the wounded, where he would gladden the hearts of thousands of children.
In this heartwarming story Joy Matthews tells how she discovered that God’s plans are bigger than anything we can dream up. That it pays to put first the kingdom. And that the only things we get to keep are those we give away.

Epilogue
AppendixAdditional Info
Miguel Crespo’s forehead tightened as he imagined his son’s fate. The tiny boy was sitting up in a dingy crib, crying for his mommy and daddy. Outside the room he could hear the sound of people talking, enjoying themselves, while his son sat heartbroken in his little wooded prison. Miguel felt as if a dagger had been plunged into his chest.
In every person’s life, there comes a time when they have to answer some life-altering questions, “Does God really care about me? How much attention does He really pay to what’s going on in my life? Does prayer really accomplish anything? Am I willing to suffer loss and still believe in and trust him?”
Five years previous, Miguel and Bonnie Crespo had never imagined themselves as foster parents. Then Nathaniel, a sickly infant with eczema and spinal problems, became part of their lives, and they wanted to be more; they wanted to adopt him permanently. This is My Boy! (Right God?) is the story of the Crespo family as they went through emotional hell-fighting custody battles, endless court appearances, selling prize possessions to pay for lawyer fees, and ultimately surrendering the fate of their new son to God. -
Guides Greatest Sabbath Stories
$19.59Add to cart“I will give you people exactly five minutes to decide whether or not you will work on Saturday.”
Within five seconds came their determined but respectful reply. “We cannot and will not work on the Sabbath, though the heavens fall!”
“What?” screamed the astonished Nazi, almost dropping his eyeglasses. “Well, then,” he stammered, “I hope your God can hear through the walls of a concentration camp!”
Here is a collection of amazing but true stories about God’s faithfulness to those who honor His holy day. A father has no money to send his children to church school until his boss offers him a raise-if he will work on Sabbath just this once. A son is offered a stack of money if he will forget his Adventist scruples. A man with a gun aimed at his heart has to decide whether to honor his conscience.
Seventh-day Adventist athletes face Sabbath tournaments, musicians face Sabbath recitals, and students face Sabbath exams. Fishermen leave huge fish waiting in their nets at Friday sundown. Even inanimate objects honor the Sabbath-like the hammer that wouldn’t work on that day, the thick harness torn in two by an invisible hand, and one super capacity water jug.
Sometimes angels get into the act. One explains the seventh day in a dream. Helpful guides appear and disappear. A mysterious porter brings baked potatoes to a young man bleeding from the lash of his chief who demands he carry a load on the Sabbath. In each case God provides for His own.
Taken from 50 years of Guide, a magazine for Christian youth, these stories prove God’s promise: “Those who honor me I will honor” (1 Samuel 2:30, NIV).

Christmas In My Heart Book 12
$20.29Add to cartTo one of the longest-running Christmas story anthologies in American history we add yet another volume–our twelfth in 12 years. The series is one of the finest libraries of Christmas stories in English. What’s the secret of its appeal? Perhaps it’s the lump-in-the-throat factor, the moving stories that grip the heart and moisten the eyes. Fortunately, all 12 volumes are still available in print at the original price.
In this year’s collection Senator John McCain of Arizona recalls his most special Christmas, celebrated in a North Vietnamese prisoner-of-war camp, where men of faith, joyful and triumphant in the face of torment, exchanged gifts they did not have.
Another selection tells the story of the birth of “Silent Night,” one of the songs the prisoners sang. Other stories tell of Christmas money lost and then better-than-found; of relationships mended; of temptations trumped; of orphans nurtured; of lovers reunited. In these pages the human spirit, with all its passion and pride, faith and foibles, finds hope once again in a manger.

That I May Know Him
$31.89Add to cartFrom the “Foreword”
More than half of the book is drawn from the wealth of inspired material in the articles from her pen that appeared during her long lifetime in such periodicals as the Review and Herald, Youth’s Instructor, and Signs of the Times. About one third is drawn from unpublished manuscripts and letters in the custody of the trustees of the Ellen G. White writings, under whose direction the volume has been prepared.
Many of these unpublished items are from personal heart-to-heart messages sent to individuals-messages that come to us today with the same earnest appeal, the same tender admonition and encouragement, as when they were written. Of special interest are several pages which contain extracts from early morning entries in Ellen White’s diary, and give the reader significant glimpses into her personal prayer life.

Endless Falling In Love
$23.79Add to cartTy Gibson has done it again. A rare blend of smart and heart, An Endless Falling in Love is both an intellectual and an emotional journey into the character of God and the gift of eternity.
