Dr. Sam Wright admits it--he was born a smart aleck. Even thought he has a Ph.D., has taught in the field of biblical studies, and has been a pastor for decades, Dr. Wright has spent his life asking such questions as: If God created light and called the light good, was God afraid of the dark?Is there a Mrs. God?When God gave Himself an "A" for creating the world, was that like grading his own paper?Who mucked out the stalls on the ark?Why did it take Noah so long (ten months) to open a window?Improper questions? Maybe. But God winks as Dr. Wright chuckles his way through the stories we learned at the knees of our Sunday school teachers, pastors, and Vacation Bible School leaders. In this first book, he invites readers to journey through the first 17 chapters of Genesis with a mind toward the questions most of us never think to ask. Get your tickle box ready ... this is funny stuff.

Illumination Book Awards Winner When a water vessel is filled with dirt and stones, it cannot be used to quench a thirst. But, when this vessel is emptied, there is an opportunity to fill it until it overflows with fresh, cool, life-giving water. Water that quenches. Refreshes. Soothes. Our souls are the same: filled with fear, doubt, and disappointment. Running over with unanswered prayers and lingering questions. When we empty the mess of our lives in the presence of God, we're offered an invitation to come. An invitation that allows us to come empty - so that we can be filled until we overflow. Come Empty - Pour Out Life's Hurts and Receive God's Healing Love guides you through fifty days of experiencing the fullness of God's love and His ability to overcome life's hurts. Each day, you will receive assurance of God's presence in your difficult situations. Each devotion gives new vision and perspective when you're hindered by emotional blind spots, and leads you to experience God's peace and wholeness. When His invitation is accepted, He will set your captive mind and heart free to live fully by His grace. The question is not if you will get an invitation. The question is, will you come?

Get Your Spirit On! is for girls and young women who are already cheerleaders, aspire to be cheerleaders, or simply wish to cheer for God. This upbeat devotional offers one entry per week for 40 weeks (which should cover a typical cheer season) and features a prayer (Megaphone to Master); a scripture (Strength Training); a thought-provoking question (Fire Up!); a journaling section (Ready. Ok.), a say it out loud declaration (Give a Shout!) and an action step (Jump Into Acton!), as well as Fit Tips, Fast Stats about cheerleading, and words to actual chants and cheers.Whether done on your own, in a small group, or with your cheer squad, Get Your Spirit On! is sure to lift your spirits and deepen your relationship with God, as well as strengthen the bond with your teammates and friends. A note from the author:“Today, 80 percent of schools in America have a cheerleading squad. In fact, according to current statistics, there are 1.2 million cheerleaders ages 6-11 in the United States, and another 1.6 million ages 12-17. Cheerleading has been called the fastest-growing sport in the U.S., and it's easy to see why. With the addition of All-Star cheer squads, girls are now able to showcase their athletic ability, showmanship, and spirit in All-Star cheer competitions, as well as support their home team in traditional game settings. More and more girls are becoming cheerleaders!“Media moguls have picked up on this growing subculture of cheerleaders, which is obvious by the success of such reality shows: “Cheerleader Nation,” “Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders: Making the Team” and “Cheer Stars” to name a few. “Pick up a copy of Get Your Spirit On! and begin your 40-week journey. Walk closer with God and cheer up others with the Good News of Christ!”
