My Favorite Angel Stories
$22.39Add to cartAs Bill watched, the man in gray stepped up onto the running board that led from the front of the engine back to the cab and gave another signal–danger–stop! Then he turned and looked at the engineer. The train was still traveling at full speed, but the hat remained on the man’s head without aid and his clothes were not blown by the wind. They remained in place just as if he were standing in his own parlor. Bill released the throttle, put on all brakes, and whistled for the flag. The train ground to a hard stop and the flagman went out. He had gone only about 150 feet when he signaled with his lantern. “Cave in!”When the crew rushed ahead, they found only a gaping hole where there had been the twin rails and a tool shed. The engineer and the fireman turned to inquire of the man in gray. But the mysterious night rider on that train was never found. He had disappeared just as mysteriously as he had appeared. “When each of us looks back over our lives, rare will be the person who doesn’t see incidents like these, providential rescues, times when our lives were spared by unexplainable deviations from natural law and natural probabilities, when God stepped in, through His angels, to save us.” Joe L. Wheeler

Miracles In Unexpected Places
$20.27Add to cart“The great work of the gospel is not to close with less manifestation of the power of God than marked its opening…Miracles will be wrought, the sick will be healed, and signs and wonders will follow the believers.”–THE GREAT CONTROVERSY, 611, 612 There are miracles, and there are miracles, and then there are miracles. Some miracles are meant to appear transcendent while others are simply sleight of hand or tricks of magic. Some so-called miracles are downright fraudulent or can later be explained scientifically. But sometimes, miracles are unexplainable and unrepeatable, incredible and unbelievable-they are, truly, miraculous. Real miracles occur in unexpected places and at unexpected times. When and where God chooses to miraculously intervene in people’s lives is generally unpredictable, but miracles do happen.”I believe that God uses miracles to help increase faith in the hearts of His children here on Earth….The stories within these pages are about miracles that have happened to real people. They tell of God’s presence in this world today and how He loves and cares for humanity.”-Stanley Maxwell

Out Of The Blue
$20.99Add to cartWelcome to Shadow Creek Ranch. When the engine of young pilot Nathan McMillen’s Cessna stalled, he figured he was done for. He was ten thousand feet in the air, flying a small, high-wing airplane over the rugged mountains of western Montana. Under these circumstances, a pilot doesn’t slow to a stop-a pilot potentially glides to a crash.Wendy Hanson had woken up early to celebrate her sixteenth birthday. She couldn’t help but look into the towering mountains surrounding her quiet valley. She could see an airplane in the distance, but I moved without sound, like a phantom flying in the bright summer air. It took her but a moment to realize something was wrong. The plane was headed right toward the only pasture in the area. And right in the middle of that pasture was a horse-her horse. And if she didn’t do something fast, the results wouldn’t be pretty.Shadow Creek Ranch is a special place-full of beautiful things like rivers and mountains, horses to ride, and nature to explore. But it’s also a place for troubled young people to escape from pain, the past, you name it. It’s also for them to heal. Nathan and Wendy’s introduction to each other hadn’t gone very smoothly. But when that airplane fell from the sky and crash-landed at Shadow Creek Ranch, it would start them on an adventure that would not just change their lives forever, but would be a miracle to those around them as well.

3 Angels Over Rancho Grande
$20.59Add to cartPat Martinez looked up into Jim’s cold eyes. “You arrested me once,” Jim said as he fingered the rope in his hands. “But this time, I’ve come after you. I’ll drag you behind my horse until I tear you to pieces!”Alone against Jim and his men, Pat’s mind raced. Instinctively, he dismissed saints and priest and church, and prayed silently to the Being who created the universe. “Lord, please help me! Remember that I have a big family. There’s only one man to take care of that family, and that’s Pat!”Three Angels Over Rancho Grande is the dramatic story of Patrocinio Martinez, a part-Apache pioneer settler in the old Southwest. As sheriff in Socorro County, New Mexico, he apprehended many criminals but never killed a man. A faithful member of the Catholic Church, he and his large family would never be the same after Brother Vargas came to town with his message of the Bible’s three angels.In this story of the old West and the settling of the New Mexico territory , God guides the life of Pat Martinez and his children, including Max Martinez, who went on to be a missionary, church leader, and patriarch of the church in the Texico Conference. Three Angels Over Rancho Grande traces the origins of a family whose contributions to the work of God are now so far-reaching that they can never fully be known until eternity begins.

10 Choices For A Full Life
$5.09Add to cartAs God’s Children, we are called to make healthy choices and to encourage others to do the same. God has a plan for our health. This is not a news flash. But knowing the facts does not necessarily mean we will change. While Ten choices for a Full Life provides the data, it goes a step further, and inspires us to make these important changes. Ten Choices for a Full Life covers many aspects of healthy living, including physical activity and abstaining from tobacco, alcohol, and other harmful substances. But its holistic approach also incorporates chapters on the importance of cultivating healthy relationships, how to focus on what is true and worthy of praise, and the health benefits found in engaging in unselfish service. Ten Choices for a Full Life makes a clear and compelling case for changing to a healthier lifestyle, and encourages us that no matter how many times we may have failed in our efforts to change, God invites us to reconsider these principles again and to start afresh today. In making this choice, we will honor Him and reap the benefits of a strong mind, improved memory, and increased physical strength. We will be ready to do “the very work God sends us to do,” which is to bless others.

Prophecies Of Daniel Made Simple
$22.39Add to cartDaniel wrote his book a long time ago, so does it really have anything to do with us today? Can Daniel really tell us what to expect in the future? The symbolism in the book of Daniel can be difficult to understand. First comes the giant statue made of different metals, which is smashed by a gigantic rock. Then the four beasts: a lion with eagle’s wings, a hump-backed bear, a leopard with four wings, and some kind of indescribable beast with ten horns and iron teeth. If the symbolism isn’t complicated enough, the book of Daniel uses a lot of unfamiliar words. What is an ‘abomination of desolation”? What kind of language is “mene, mene, tekel, upharsin”? If you’re not confused yet, there are four major schools of thought about how to interpret all these things! If you’ve ever found Bible prophecy difficult to understand, Prophecies of Daniel Made Simple is a perfect book for you. Using interesting illustrations and thoughtful questions, author Seth Pierce will make the symbolism clear, clarify the unfamiliar terms, and explain what the prophecies meant for the prophet Daniel and what they have to say to us today.

Failure Is Not Final
$2.87Add to cartEverybody loves a winner!
No one wants to walk around with a big L stamped in the middle of their forehead. We all want to be part of the winning team. Right? But statistics remind us that everyone-yes, that means you-will experience failure in their lives. It’s a fact. Failure is not Final is written to get you past your failures to the success that is often found just one step beyond.
The difference between successful, achieving people and average people is their perception and response to failure. Author Roger Hernandez uses biblical principles and stories, practical advice, and Bible promises to guide you through the why, what, and how of failure. You will examine the reasons why we fail, what lessons we can learn from failure, and how we can react in a healthy, optimistic way to failure.
You will discover that positive benefits can accompany negative experiences. Hernandez states, “Just because you have failed, doesn’t mean you are a failure. Failure can teach you, but it does not have to define you.” Failure is not Final is a useful guide that will help men and women move beyond their mistakes to fulfill their potential and achieve success.

What We Believe Prophecies Of Revelation For Teens

Yet we can find ourselves sidetracked trying to match up dates and current events of every little detail of this book and miss the big picture: Jesus Christ.Jesus is quite literally the beginning, the middle, and the end of Revelation-and world history. Author Seth Pierce says, “Wherever your studies take you from here my prayer is that you will always find an ever brighter picture of Jesus and how much He loves you.”

Gods Last Message
$13.47Add to cartThe current era may appropriately be labeled The Age of Confusion. Conflicting opinions abound. Nothing seems solid. Even in religion, chaos reigns. But God is not confused. In these “last days” before “the end of the world” the book of Revelation informs us that God Himself will send one last message to prepare human beings for the return of His Son (Revelation 14:9-14). “We have that message!” many earnestly claim. But do they really? Or are they promoting a counterfeit?Here you will discover the truth. God’s last message is not a satanic detour, but a glorious proclamation centered in Jesus Christ Himself, of whom the ancient prophet wrote, “Now this is His Name by which He will be called: THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS” (Jeremiah 23:6).This book contains no fiction. Just facts about Jesus Christ and His righteousness. Be warned. Be enlightened. Be blessed beyond measure.Pacific Press(R) Publishing Association
