Dare To Be A Daniel
$22.99
The empowering words of this chorus often reverberate in my mind: “Dare to be a Daniel, dare to stand alone, dare to have a purpose firm, dare to make it known!” In a postmodern age of relativism, moral mediocrity, and low expectations, Daniel inspires and challenges us to advance higher in our spiritual quest and advancement. The purposefulness in his heart to do the utmost for the cause of God encourages us to aim higher, and spurs us on to excellence. Exiled Daniel lived in the scrutinizing public eye, surrounded by power struggle and political intrigue, yet without any hint of compromise or corruption. Even his envious enemies, who thoroughly investigated his life, “could find no charge or fault, because he was faithful” (Dan. 6:4). The only charge they could accuse him of was his devotedness to God.
Numerous books have already been written about Daniel’s prophecies, but this book focuses more on Daniel’s character as an empowering model for the final remnant. Prophecies, however, will be discussed as they relate to his exemplary life of being God’s beautiful showcase in the world. Daniel is certainly a true representative of Christ, and an excellent model for the final remnant to emulate. Repeatedly, we hear others testify of his “excellent spirit.”
By beholding Christ, he became transformed into His image. He was a sparkling star shining to the end, because he basked in the brilliant rays of the Sun of Righteousness. His unassailable integrity, formidable courage, staunch loyalty, resolute faithfulness, and his sterling character is what should characterize God’s final remnant. May our study of Dare to Be a Daniel, in the context of God’s prophecies and promises, inspire and transform us to become His faithful remnant, as we await Christ’s soon coming, May we be the true fulfillment of Daniel’s parting words: “Those who are wise shall shine like the brightness of the firmament, and those who turn many to righteousness like the stars forever and ever” (Dan. 12:3).

He Numbered The Pores On My Face
Original price was: $19.99.$0.95Current price is: $0.95.Add to cartWhen Scarlet Hiltibidal was a teenager, plastic butterfly clips were all the rage. She couldn’t understand why they didn’t look the same in her “frizzy, bulbous hair” as they did on the blonde whose mom was a professional hair stylist. Back then, she would have sanctioned the destruction of scores of actual butterflies just to own the label “pretty butterfly clips girl.” And so it goes for many girls like Scarlet who strive for self-worth yet struggle to find it.
He Numbered the Pores on My Face is for teens who long for beauty, love, and rest. Any labels you long for today might as well be “looks good in butterfly clips” if you are not rooted in who Jesus says you are, because any self–centered identity is going to leave you in the same place: unfulfilled and unhappy. Girls will relate to Scarlet’s stories as she discusses hottie lists, eating disorders, and haphazard beauty in a way that is both humorous and thought provoking. Through it all, she describes how she found peace by learning to see life not through a mirror but through a Savior who shapes who we were, who we are, and who we will be.

John Chrysostom : The Preacher In The Emperor’s Court
$11.99Add to cartThere was something about John Chrysostom and the words he spoke that lit up his world.
He was an important leader of the early church, known so much for his preaching and public speaking that he was given the nickname Golden Mouth. He spoke his mind and followed his convictions. He refused to host the lavish social gatherings that his predecessors had laid on. This meant that John Chrysostom really annoyed the wealthy citizens of Constantinople. He spoke out against how many influential Christians cared little for the poor.“It is madness to fill your cupboards with clothing while other human beings stand naked and trembling with the cold so that they can hardly hold themselves upright.”
It didn’t matter if you were rich or poor John spoke the truth – emphatically. Even the empress fell under his criticism which eventually led to his exile and death.
