A doctor's counsel and a girlfriend's wisdom combine to create an information-packed, inspiration-filled Christian resource for the physical, emotional, psychological, and spiritual needs of pregnancy. 
Halfway through her own pregnancy, author Jessica Wolstenholm realized that although she rushed to every book sitting on her bookshelf each time she encountered a question or a scary symptom, she found that the information there, while accurate, usually led to further questions or deeper fear, without the comfort she needed. ''If you are experiencing cramping,'' the book would explain, ''it is very normal. However, you could be experiencing a miscarriage so consult your physician.'' Fortunately for Jessica, she had the benefit of Dr. Heather Rupe, a Christian OB who answered every question with utmost honesty and accuracy, yet always included assurance that God was involved in every moment. 
Not all women have the benefit of a Christian OB, but they can have the next best thing in The Pregnancy Companion. This valuable Christian pregnancy book brings medicine and faith together with the same quality medical information as any ''expecting'' book on the market, infused with thought-provoking and spiritual messages. Organized in chapters that follow an expectant mother's OB appointment schedule, this unique resource will equip readers for a faith-filled journey through an informed peaceful, and joyful pregnancy.

Christians have become more and more a minority group in American culture, and so now find themselves in a situation similar to the early Christians--facing the challenge of living as cultural exiles. THE CHURCH IN EXILE draws upon the epistle of 1 Peter, which was written to ''exiles,'' to help us learn how to live faithfully when many around us do not share Christian values. 
Because Christians in America now belong to a distinctly minority group, their behavior will increasingly be considered strange to the majority of the population. This new situation presents Christians with demanding tests--on the job, at school, and in our relationships with neighbors. We are now discovering the challenge of being Christians when that is not a popular identity. 
During the first four centuries, Christians met in small house churches surrounded by neighbors and even family members who scorned their beliefs and their morality. 1 Peter was written to such believers. The ''alien'' Christians who first read 1 Peter were not strangers in their own lands because of their skin colors or their nationalities. Their obedience to the call of Christ had made them exiles. 
According to 1 Peter, Christians are ''aliens and exiles'' (2:11). The Christian life is similar to the Israelites in Egypt or Babylon, who also did not assimilate into the larger population. So today, how do we find the resources to live as exiles? The epistle of 1 Peter is a sermon that was originally preached to offer such resources. THE CHURCH IN EXILE applies this message to Christians in Dallas, Atlanta, Los Angeles, and Chicago in the early twenty-first century, showing us how to live as a counterculture in a non-Christian world.

Debbie Williams helps women realize through biblical teaching and true life stories that settling for less in life is not an option when things don t turn out as planned. Rather than simply accepting failure or settling for less in what the world calls Plan B, women can approach life with their own Plan A spirit and let God reignite their hopes and dreams.Women grow up dreaming of the life they hope to have. Many have prince charming in their plans. Perhaps a good career, long life, happy and obedient children, and good health. But plans often do not materialize in the reality of their lives. Marriages fail in alarming numbers, health problems arise, parenting turns out to be a much tougher job than expected, and all of a sudden Plan B sets in. In this bold and uplifting Debbie Williams you will discover that, no matter where Plan B has you headed, you don t have to simply discard the Plan A Woman you always wanted to be. In fact, even in the harshest head winds of struggle
