Land of the Living

Jealousy, adultery, out-of-wedlock pregnancy, murder - the list reads like contemporary tabloid headlines. Not especially topics you'd expect to find threaded throughout the Bible. Yet eight mothers from the Bible, spanning thousands of generations, survived not only these problems but others more typical of everyday life. Real Mothers introduces you to biblical counterparts who struggled with imperfect family relationships, yet maintained balance and peace by trusting God when life didn't always make sense. Real Mothers isn't just an academic exercise to read and fill in the blank. Each chapter is structured into five sections organized by the word time, a precious commodity for busy moms. You will learn practical, biblical parenting skills that will equip you to become a better mother.

Real Mothers: A Bible Study about Mothers for Mothers

Long, Joyce

This unique study of the book of Romans illustrates the power of God for salvation. None of us were saved by our own power and none of us will walk by our own power. The righteous do not live by fear; the righteous do not live by law; the righteous do not live by rigidity. The righteous will live because they live by faith ... powerfully! And that's the Good News presented in this book.

Worship & Devotion

Have you ever noticed how often animals find their way into the Bible? From Genesis through the closing chapters of Revelation, animals have been a part of mankind's story and history. The books of Job and Proverbs teach us much about animals. Ezekiel shows us that there are unique creatures in heaven we've yet to encounter (Ezekiel 1). "Since God has created such a diversity of creatures, surely we can learn from them, just as we learn from one another." Author Katherine Douglas enjoys listening to people's stories about their pets, and then drawing biblical parallels from those accounts. You'll enjoy each devotion in "Snakes, Snails, Puppy Dog Tales" ... until each tail's end.

Birthdays come and go. It's the weeks and months in-between that fill our lives and shape our destinies. How many years can you count? Half a century? More? If so, you are part of the growing crowd of senior adults who are, hopefully, learning to navigate the obstacle course called "life." This is not a self-help book. However, you will find tips for connecting with grandchildren, doing spring housecleaning, making your home accident free, learning to laugh, volunteering at church, and doing many other things important to older adults. You will probably identify with articles like: SAVOR THE MOMENT; FORGETFULNESS IS CONTAGIOUS; NOSTALGIA; DOWNSIZING; and I DON'T UNDERSTAND LORD. You may ask some of the same questions posed by the author: DO YOU EVER FEEL LONELY? WHAT ARE YOU AFRAID OF? and HOW IS YOUR STRESS LEVEL? These meditations will help you see God in nature, the people you meet, the surprises, and the disappointments. As you lean in closely, you may hear Him say to you personally, "This is the way. Walk ye in it."

Gold fever ... It was everywhere in 1849. But when Deborah Stuart's parents headed west it was for the treasure of men's souls. The great adventure of the Gold Rush soon became a challenge to lift one foot in front of another for mile after weary mile. The countryside was hard and beautiful and strange. Friendships and family bonds were the only way to carry on.  Finally in gold country, Deborah is faced with building a new life from the little that is left from the journey,mostly her bare hands and her great friends. The everyday challenges were spiced with the excitement of the building of a new society in raw California as it fought to become a state. Old grudges and new loves were there for her. She thought all she wanted was to return to Illinois, but when she had the chance, would she go?

Run Thru the Tape

Harvey, L. James

Be honest ... if you were addressing a people soon to be suffering, would your letter resemble anything like what Peter wrote to the early Christians? We're assured of salvation, yet distracted wtih the temptations and worries of this life; promised an imperishable inheritance, yet struggle to make ends meet; assured of new bodies that will never decay, and yet worry about our weight and watch our bodies grow old and weak. We live in two worlds -- 1st Peter gives us something much greater than the problems we face in one of them.
