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. Beyond the cliches about harps, clouds, gold streets, and gates of pearl, Gibson shows eternal life to be an ever-deepening free-fall into friendship-love with God. Against this backdrop, the doctrines of the Trinity, Creation, the Fall, the Incarnation, the Cross, and other crucial Bible truths take on a beauty and lushness that will forever alter your views about salvation.

Guides Greatest Prayer Stories
$19.59Add to cart“When they got up from their knees they stared at the table that had been bare moments before. It couldn’t be! It wasn’t possible! There on the table was a large steaming platter heaped high with colorful vegetables, potatoes, and fish. Eyes wide with unbelief, the roommates looked at each other, then back at the table. This was uncanny. This was unnatural. This was too much!”
Prayer is mind-boggling. Find out how it delivered two boys from a pit, caused a stolen car to stall, taught a woman to read, delivered a snorkeling missionary from a mad shark, led a strange black dog to deliver a lost purse, healed a crushed cat, led a lad to the right trombone and a lass to the right horse, helped a young man to find his glasses on the bottom of Lake Michigan, unlocked a locked door, provided electricity in a power outage, kept a family from starving, and brought a whole carload of mechanics to start a stalled car.
This book will leave you with a whole carload of faith.

Shades Of Grace
$23.79Add to cartSurprised by grace . . . again.
It has been said, “The genius of a good book is that it explains a familiar subject with unfamiliar newness.” Such is the case with this book. The incredibly vital topic of divine grace is opened here, layer after layer, until one feels as though a whole new dimension of thought and feeling has flooded into the soul. Like the multi-hued richness of the color spectrum, there are various Shades of Grace which compose the beautiful character of God. To say, “Grace is unmerited favor,” and then move on as if understanding had been achieved, would be like merely saying of space, “It’s big.” True, but so very lacking in real meaning.
Grace is unmerited favor, and so much more, as you are about to discover. Find a quiet place and join the author, Ty Gibson, for an empowering series of intimate penetrations into the mind and emotions of God. And be prepared to be surprised by grace . . . again.

Guides Greatest Miracle Stories
$19.59Add to cartThe silent swish of paddles in the darkness told Karsatoa that his enemies had him surrounded. Suddenly his canoe began to fly over the water-atop a giant stingray. The God of the Bible is still in the miracle business. These thrilling reports from around the world show that He still reveals His power and care today.
You will read of dollar bills that multiplied. A prayer written on a kite. Prison doors that opened. A self-healing radiator, and a self-filling gas tank. Rain that fell only on mission property. A book that refused to burn. A clock that struck 13. Manna from heaven–in Africa. A gentle ride inside a tornado. Invisible hands that lift a car. And lots of mysterious strangers, sometimes visible only to some and not others. But always protecting, guiding, saving.
If you wonder whether God still cares, or if your faith needs a shot in the arm, you will cherish these believe-it-or-not true stories from Borneo to Kalamazoo to Venezuela that show that, when we need Him most, God is there.

Christmas In My Heart Book 9
$20.29Add to cartHard to believe, but here it is: Christmas in My Heart, book9. They keep coming because so many readers like you find it inconceivable to enter another Christmas season without a new Christmas in My Heart transfusion.
Oh, ’tis true that the now “old” collections are still treasured, are reread again and again, becoming in a very special way Christmas velveteen rabbits, all the dearer for their dog-eared coves and creased pages. Yet at the same time that the first eight collections are returned to, there is an innate need to expand the core collection, to greet with delight new writers with fresh approaches and, even more significant, to listen once again to writers now believed to us-each additional story by such a writer but deepens the bond, that voice that can never be stilled as long as we refuse to let it die.
That is the magic of Christmas in My Heart!
