Additional 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.

He Numbered The Pores On My Face
$19.99Original 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.
