Enjoy these SAMPLE pages from Tell Me a Story-
Jesus called His followers witnesses. We are, in fact, witnesses to His unfolding story. This story is not only our calling-it's the next generation's best chance of identifying with the Church and changing the world.
As we become storytellers, we learn to see the world in terms of stories being lived and told. We discover deeper insights into God, ourselves, and others. Through story we uncover a better framework for understanding abstract concepts such as purpose and conflict, as well as more concrete aspects of our lives such as work, technology, communication, and community. Story touches every part of our lives because it's the form factor of our lives-story is inside all of us, and we're all inside a story.

Stories From the Forest: stories by a counselor at a camp for children with special…
No matter how many years I go to camp, or who my campers are, one thing remains constant. I always leave feeling like something special was given to me, not the other way around. I take seriously the awesome responsibility I see behind the love and trust visible in the eyes of the campers. I can only hope they get out of camp at least a small percentage of what I do. I am not the same person who first stepped into that cub scout room almost 20 years ago. Because of the people, campers and counselors, on the pages of this story I am a better person. I have been taught the real meaning of courage, perseverance and unconditional love. I have been shown a standard I can only hope to one day live up to and I am deeply indebted to each of them for that.
This book traces 20 years of experiences at a camp for children with special needs. The camp accepts children with all levels of mental, physical and emotional handicapps.

There are many views today on morality, relativity and right and wrong. Dr. Tony Evans refuses to let the voice of God be drowned out amidst the clamor of the crowd.
In the age where people can get a "no-fault" divorce believers who claim to live by God's word cannot dodge the issue: we cannot skip it, run from it, or ignore it. God has spoken clearly on this subject and while it is far from easy to address, it must be dealt with. Combining a high view of marriage, compassion, and biblical authority, Tony Evans gives invaluable insight into divorce and remarriage as he explores real-life fears and questions by looking at the issue from God's vantage point, not from our emotional one.

Why Women Stay in Abusive Relationships
It is very difficult for someone who has not experienced the terror of an abusive relationship to comprehend such a life. Those on the outside listen to the horror stories of emergency room visits, terrifying ordeals in the middle of the night, and frightened children forced to witness the violence. And sooner or later, one of the most commonly asked questions is verbalized. "If things are so bad, why don't you just leave?"
Has that question ever crossed your mind? You may have a friend or family member who has finally mustered the courage to tell you physical violence has been an ongoing reality in her marriage. She tries to communicate her fears of further injury, her concerns for the safety of the children, and her anxieties about leaving. You pray with her, counsel her to seek safety, and do your best to provide resources to assist. Yet you encounter a puzzling and continual hesitation. What's going on?
"Why Women Stay in Abusive Relationships" was written to answer such questions. Contained within its pages are some of the typical reasons women are so reluctant to leave an abusive relationship. While by no means an exhaustive list, the book does provide those on the outside with a glimpse into the world of relationship violence. And by understanding the complexities of the struggles battered women face, readers will be better equipped to offer insightful, compassionate, and effective counsel and intercession.

A short ebook to help those who grieve.
Here's the commendation by Michael Cassidy:
"It is a privilege to write these words of commendation for Alan Bester’s splendid booklet on Understanding Grief. He writes these words which he had already spoken into the lives of his congregation, in the aftermath of the loss in their congregation in a short span of time of three little babies. So the words of these pages come out of the existential context of a church community overwhelmed with grief, but also caught up in entering into profoundly the grief of those parents who have lost their little ones. So these pages are not full of theory but of deep spiritual reality and comfort.
What is very special here is that Alan writes so deeply as a pastor and counsellor. Here are the words and the heartbeat of a shepherd of God’s people and one whose human understandings have made him a deep and effective counsellor to those who are grieving.
In these pages Alan does not bring forth simplistic or superficial answers. What he shares comes out of deep wrestling with the issues raised by suffering as undoubtedly the deepest philosophical question before the human race. Alan’s words are not only spiritually relevant, but practical. People are helped to work through the issues of their grief, even as they are brought face to face with the glorious Christian world view of a God who is really there, and of a Heaven which is really there, in addition to our own world which is really here. In other words, we are challenged to take seriously what the Bible tells us about Reality and shown how to apply it.
Alan also very helpfully enables us to see how grief and suffering can even become spiritual friends taking us into some of the deepest places of divine blessing. Alan helps us grasp how we need to allow grief to enable us to discern in new categories what really matters in life.
Beautifully written as this little book is, it cannot of course bring all the answers to all the questions. But for myself I always rejoice that in our mystification and in our overwhelming "WHY’S’", nevertheless even our Lord has entered into such questionings and such mystification when on the Cross He not only bore our sins and transgressions, and our griefs and sorrows, but also all our questionings when in His humility He cried out: "My God, my God, WHY…?"; thereby gathering up all the why’s that ever tumbled from the human breast. This is comforting indeed.
Alan really helps us all to lay hold of these truths. In so doing he opens the way for us to God’s comfort and blessing.
The Lord bless you as you absorb the message of these pages.
Michael Cassidy"

Seeker of the Lost: Saint Anthony of Padua
Saint Anthony of Padua 1195 – 1231
Who was St. Anthony of Padua? He was born in Lisbon, Portugal in 1195. The path of his walk with God was a wandering one, with many unexpected twists and turns. Anthony lived his faith in every circumstance in which he found himself, believing that anything that happened to him was an opportunity to grow closer to God and to trust Him in all things. His travels took him to North Africa, Sicily, Italy, and much of Europe, and in each place he preached by word and example about how to live a better life and attain the joys of heaven. When we ask St. Anthony for his prayers, we find that miracles can happen. Why does Our Lord favor the prayers of St. Anthony on our behalf with such courtesy?

Why read a biography of a saint? A saint is an ordinary person with an extraordinary love of God and neighbor, who now is happy to behold the Face of God in Heaven. We all need the inspiration of good example. Saints inspire us to live a more selfless life, relying on the merits of Christ Jesus in order to become more like Him. Saints likewise inspire us to go to greater lengths to love God and our neighbor. Just knowing about them helps us draw closer to Christ.

Many Christians grew up thinking that "the kingdom of heaven" just refers to heaven. And yes, heaven is an absolute reality according to the Bible, a reality to which every reborn Christian will be going the day that they die. But not many Christians know that the kingdom of heaven also impacts our normal daily lives here on earth. The reason for this being that many Christians don't really ponder the Biblical fact that we are children of the King of the Universe and He made us and wants us to rule and reign and have dominion over the works of His hands. Because here on earth we experience attacks on our marriages, on our children, on our finances and on our health, attacks over which we must be able to live in victory and spiritual authority. This book strives to explain to all Christians that there is more to being a "child of the King" than just being saved.

Meditation Exercises for Classroom Prayer
This booklet contains a series of meditation exercises. The goal is to introduce middle school and junior high students to the method of prayer known as LECTIO DIVINA. There are sufficient exercises to last one school year doing one exercise a week. I found it beneficial to give students a regularly scheduled meditation time. I often chose the same day we had Eucharistic adoration. The exercises meditate on passages from the Old Testament and the New Testament.
It's important that if you have students do the exercises in writing that they know that you, as teacher, will read their reflections. You do this because journal writing should never be unsupervised if required by the teacher. In other words, do not ask students to journal than ignore what you've required them do. They are not writing their reflections to you, but for the examination of their conscience and their relationship with God and others. In our everyday lives, we can forget to develop our friendship with God. In these prayer times we will focus on these ordinary times in order to see God in the day-to-day lives we lead.

When Helping Hurts SAMPLER: How to Alleviate Poverty Without Hurting the Poor…
Enjoy these SAMPLE pages from When Helping Hurts-
Churches and individual Christians typically have faulty assumptions about the causes of poverty, resulting in the use of strategies that do considerable harm to poor people and themselves. Don't let this happen to you, your ministry or ministries you help fund! A must read for anyone who works with the poor or in missions, When Helping Hurts provides foundational concepts, clearly articulated general principles and relevant applications. The result is an effective and holistic ministry to the poor, not a truncated gospel.
"Initial thoughts" at the beginning of chapters and "reflection questions and excercises" at the end of chapters assist greatly in learning and applying the material. A situation is assessed for whether relief, rehabilitation, or development is the best response to a situation. Efforts are characterized by an "asset based" approach rather than a "needs based" approach. Short term mission efforts are addressed and economic development strategies appropriate for North American and international contexts are presented, including microenterprise development.
Now with a new preface, a new foreword, and a new chapter to assist in the next steps of applying the book's principles to your situation, When Helping Hurts is a new classic!

Guilt is so thoroughly engrained in religious culture that many people cannot imagine the gospel without a focus on guilt. They present the gospel as a transaction: you will be forgiven IF you accept the gospel. But Jesus already paid for your sins and you are already forgiven. There is no IF. Sin is forgiven, but it still messes up relationships. The gospel needs to focus on our relationships.

Bigger than Impossible (Keys to Experiencing the Impossible through God)
Impossibility is not a period at the end of faith's sentence. Faith, in the life of the believer, is meant to be tested. Without adversities faith will never become strong and overcoming.
God has not planned crises, pain and disaster to enter our lives as a dead-end to faith's venture. Many situations vaunt themselves as "impossible", but when they are stripped from their "I" and "M" and become dependent on God, they become "God-possible".
In this book:
Live life victoriously as you learn to rely on God.
Learn how to overcome all life’s obstacles.
Watch depression and anxiety disappear.
Understand why God is allowing you to experience mountains.
Each chapter of Bigger Than Impossible highlights a specific area of Lydia Chorpening's difficult past, and contrasts it with Scriptures which make God bigger than the seemingly impossible. By utilizing the complete assurance of these Biblical concepts you will develop your trust in the God who is bigger than impossible.
About Lydia Chorpening
I was born in Iowa and raised in a strict Amish home and as Joseph, have seen my purpose in life fulfilled in most unexpected ways. From my humble beginnings, as Joseph, I saw my dreams ultimately fulfilled in my ‘Egypt.’ My husband and I were missionaries to the Philippines for eight years, and as Joseph, we were no saints at the beginning of our journey; needing to allow God to mold us into His perfect will. We traveled to remote areas, crossed turbulent oceans and trudged dangerous territories, learning to trust God as we went.

Nothing in my life goes untouched by my husband's calling. Christine Hoover's words in the first chapter describe so well the life of a church planter's wife, which is enormously difficult yet extraordinarily rewarding.

As the wife of a church planter, she knows well the highs and lows; glories and despairs. Christine speaks with clarity and poignancy to the reader about what it looks like to be part of the church planting ministry and to grow a heart that wholly reflects Jesus. Spread throughout these pages are stories and interviews from church planting wives. Christine Hoover empathetically and pointedly builds off these testimonies to uplift the reader and offer lessons of hope in the midst of a challenging ministry.

Had Enough? a proverbs makeover for gen ex & why ladies
The Book of Proverbs is one of the rare bodies of spiritual literature universally accepted as practical and beneficial advice about life. But between the original language, multiple translations, poetic style, gender bias, prophetic word puzzles* and repetition much is lost on some readers, especially contemporary women .
This paraphrase was written for my youngest daughter, Kelly Jo, before she left home for college. I wanted the Proverbs to speak to her where she lives - you know, Facebook, Starbucks, looking for Mr. Right in all the wrong places. So where the context of Proverbs is gender neutral, yet expressed to men, I redirect the message to women with contemporary application of original intent in conversational language.
While researching and writing I became increasingly conscious of the power of subliminal exclusion. With each new chapter I was amazed how much the women in my life enjoyed these inclusive new installments on an old book of wisdom. I know, only a man would be amazed. But my wife gently reminded me that women were created in God's image, not mans, so I shouldn't be quite so surprised.
The interpretations of language and intent were drawn from the most reliable current translations of the Bible and scholarly commentary. Contemporary application, phraseology and analogy are my own, in faith of God's guiding inspiration.
For Kelly I stuffed blank, loose-leaf pages between chapters so she could cut, paste and journal her journey to wisdom. This stuff is so important I wanted to do more, but her mom nixed my offer to spring for body tattoos of the more salient provisions .
At any rate, I hope this fresh look at old truth leads Kelly and you into the awesome and radical life God planned for each of us before we were formed.

Can we as humans really dare to think what God thinks about us? Most people think that the only thoughts God has about us are thoughts to harm us or punish us for our multitude of sins. But is this really what the Bible teaches? The moment we start to read the Bible through the eyes of the Holy Spirit, we suddenly realize that His thoughts for us are actually thoughts of peace and not of evil. Then we realize that He thinks good things of us and wishes us to live according to His plans for our life.

Occupying Faith: Resources for Worship, Meditation, Reflection and Study
the occupy movement continues to pose significant challenges to unjust economic and political systems throughout the world; the movement has shone light on domination systems of all kinds, including religious ones; many people of faith understand just how difficult it is to see through the illusions and subtleties of the system; when we try to challenge it, it pops up hydra-like elsewhere, or more disturbingly, in our very midst: the implications are clear - at its heart, the massive problems we face in the world are spiritual; thus if we choose to respond to the challenges of the modern day prophetic movement of occupy, we are invited to do so in an ecology of ways: though prayer, meditation, liturgy, stories, art, reflection and theological debate; this book offers people a few resources to enable a response to domination that leads to right awareness, right thinking, right action, and with God's help, right living.

“I Am Coming, Volume 6”:
Time is running out MY children. I will soon leave this world to the very desires of its heart, as I leave with MY bride to safety. The world will then enjoy the pleasure of MY enemy’s company and the wrath I will pour out. This is what is coming on the earth very soon.
Children: pull yourselves together. Come before ME on your knees in humble repentance for your love affair with the world, and the lies she has fed you and you have so readily bought into. Pull away from her grasp on you. You must release your grip from the world if you expect to be in MY Eternal Presence. Wash your hands clean you double-minded.

This booklet simply explains the reasons why I believe and why you too should believe in God. Here is one example: Everything in the universe has a pattern that reveals a designer. Scientific experimentation is only possible because of the consistency and reliability of those patterns and laws. If it wasn't God, who, or what, designed them? It's foolish to think that the laws of nature are all the result of chance. If the prevailing rule is that things happen by chance, then it's necessary that there should be chances that things won’t happen. Keeping this in mind, what do you think the chances are that the sun won't rise at exactly the same time as it did today on this same day next year?

Enjoy these SAMPLE pages from Honest to God-
Is hypocrisy eroding your trust in relationships, the church, or even yourself? We long to know there is a God - and, yes, a community - who is big enough to accept us for who we are and loving enough not to leave us that way. Imagine how our relationships and witness would change if Christians everywhere began to live in a more authentic manner. Throughout the Bible, we find heroes of the faith who lived with daring, messy honesty before God and others--their example is worth emulating. Honest to God is a practical and riveting study of biblical honesty.
Follow next generation author, Josh Weidmann, as he takes the reader on a journey toward true Christian authenticity. Both biblical and contemporary examples will give you practical principles and tools for self-examination that will lead to the freedom and transformation that come only through honesty.

Renovating Your Marriage Room by Room SAMPLER
Enjoy these SAMPLE pages from Renovating Your Marriage Room by Room-
When considering building a home, couples look for the right architect, right builder, and the right decorator to make their dream house a reality. They work with these people to sketch out plans for the structure of the house; determine what materials to use in building the house; and which decorations to use how to make the house warm and cozy. Accomplishing their goal and making sure they get exactly what they are paying for is in part due to everyone working off of the same set of blueprints and plan while they are exercising their unique talents and skills in getting the house completed.
With the same care and even more, couples should invest in building their marital houses. Making sure they are working from the same plan, laying a solid foundation in the process and doing the work needed to keep their house intact and standing strong.
In Renovating Your Marriage, Dr. Johnny Parker speaks to you and your spouse about building a house of togetherness brick by brick from the foundation up. He encourages you to consider the two possible foundations upon which marriages are built; then walks you through an inspection of your marital house, room by room.
Is your marital house standing on a firm foundation or has it been shaken? Are you in need of a marriage renovation?
Dr. Parker wants to help you answer these questions and make the changes necessary to give your love a new look.

Seasons of a Woman's Life SAMPLER
Enjoy these SAMPLE pages from Seasons of a Woman's Life-
Are you afraid that . . you'll never reach the end of dirty diapers? You'll never be free of carpool duty? Your teenager's rebellion will never end? The empty nest is just a little too empty?
Fear not, seasons change. You blink twice and find yourself in another situation. Maybe longing for the "old days" or maybe grateful for the freshness of a new season. But like it or not, the seasons will come, each in its sequence and each in its own time.
Using lively examples from her own life and those of other women - including Esther - Lois Evans challenges you to discover the purpose of your life and to depend on Him as He teaches the lessons of each season. In this book, you will find helpful priniciples, recognize familiar emotions, and take to heart encouraging promises from the pages of God's Word.
In this edition a new chapter on the grandparenting season has been added. And to help you dig deeper - whether alone or with friends - chapter study questions are included.

Jesus told the story of the Good Samaritan to actually confront what the church of His day was like. It was not connecting to those who were wounded, and desperately in need of healing.
