Lord Keep Your Mansions Just Save My Children
$20.29
Let’s say you grew up
in the home of a conservative minister. Today you are a successful administrator, an author, a camp meeting speaker with high ideals-and your son is on drugs. His 15-year-old girlfriend is pregnant. He drops out of college. Your heart is breaking.
You did what good families are supposed to do. Daily family worship. Uncle Arthur and Bible Stories. Where did you go wrong?
Once your career was everything. A big house in the country was important. But now nothing else matters. “Lord, keep my mansion-just save my children,” you pray. Things don’t get better. For years you pray, wondering what good it does. Then it gets worse.
Divorce? My children? No!
In these pages Richard O’Ffill shares how he moved through guilt, frustration, anger, and grief to hope, forgiveness, trust, comfort, and love. Now, with permission (“Dad, after all I put you and Mom through, this is the least I can do”), he tells his story.

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.
