As Steam Rises is a collection of poetry written on quiet mornings in the Redwoods, with a mug of coffee. 10% of As Steam Rises proceeds go to RedeemingGrounds.com: cutting down cocaine fields and growing coffee instead. Steeped in ancient wisdom and full of wonder, longing, and authenticity, the poetry of David Michael Lippman gently traces the balance of spiritual and practical insight, illuminating the miraculous within the ordinary. Pick up this book if you long for words that articulate your heart, stretch your mind and deepen the groanings of your soul. Read this before a warm mug. Quiet yourself from the busy world around. Let the words speak. Let your thoughts brew. Let your mind relax and consider the present. Bring yourself to the poem. Underline your favorite parts. Linger a moment or two. Be. And become.

“A thoroughly transformative work.”Get ready to be swept into the adventure of your own story, to places full of danger and potent with possibility--if you want to be changed, if you long for authenticity, Wordless Place is for you. David Michael Lippman voices the truth behind the veil and addresses that inescapable human desire for connection with God and others. You won’t regret it! Don’t miss this powerful and heart-rending work that transforms ordinary words into worship. Complete with thought-provoking introductions, quotes, and a variety of meditations, these poetic encounters can create a momentum of authenticity and discovery that lead closer to God and affect the world around you. Get honest. Get vulnerable. Lean in. And discover YOUR wordless place."This book is a call to hope. The world is full of so much disappointment and chaos; there are very few places left to realign, reorder, restore, and heal. We are people aching to believe, but the problem is that our journey to get hope is fraught with backlash, poison, tireless enemies, and, worst of all, our own backward stories. How are we ever to endure this? We need Someone to lead us through it. Wordless Place will take you by the hand and lead you closer to Jesus.""There’s a long journey ahead to grasp the fullness of the good news Jesus offers. Luckily, He promises to carry is on His shoulders, to heal every crevice, to break down the strongholds of the enemy with a whisper, and to secure our roots so deep that confidence, connection, and presence shine on our every step, and fruitfulness weighs heavy on our bows. “This book is a celebration of the promises handed down to us from long ago; the poems arise from my own seasons as God led me through wordless places to encounter Him, turning words into worship.”-David Michael Lippman, author/poet.

Every parent wants their child to grow into a gracious and competent adult. Faith, character, manners, initiative, gratitude—these are just a few of the qualities and skills children need to take to heart before they leave home. Yet parents today do not always have a clear vision for how to cultivate those traits. What does it look like for a mother to train her child’s heart to excellence and goodness? In 10 Gifts of Heart, Sally Clarkson shares biblical wisdom and practical insights from over thirty years of motherhood to show the way. You’ll be motivated and empowered in this friendly and accessible book to accept the challenge to spiritually influence and direct your child’s heart. That kind of heart training is hard work, though, so 10 Gifts of Heart is filled with personal examples, engaging stories, practical suggestions, and heartfelt encouragement for moms in the thick of raising children. It is, at its heart, a book of vision and inspiration for shaping your child’s heart to want to follow and please God. (Revised and expanded version of 10 Gifts of Wisdom, 2014, Home for Good Books)

Parenting

A mother's life is a whirlwind of seasons, changing from one to another without much warning, and then to another the next day. If your heart is prepared, you can adjust to whatever season comes upon you, weathering the changes with grace; if it is not, you will find yourself reeling and twisting in the winds of life, grasping for something or someone to hold onto. But that is the secret to weathering the seasons of life. You need something God s word, and someone Jesus Christ, to hold onto. They are what give you the grace to weather the seasons. Nothing else can...Only the revealed truth of God made alive in your heart through the Holy Spirit can. --from Seasons of a Mother's Heart Encouragement for Your Seasons Your heart will be encouraged as you read the touching stories, spiritual insights, and personal lessons that are the seasons in Sally Clarkson's life. She opens her own seasoned heart on these pages, sharing what she has learned as a homeschooling wife and mother about herself, her children, and her Lord. First published in 1998, this revised and expanded Ten Year Anniversary Edition includes four new essays by Sally from ten years later to introduce each section.

Seasons of a Mother's Heart

Sally Clarkson

The Mom Walk is about the journey of motherhood. You love being a mom. You are wholeheartedly committed to your children. You long for them to grow up to be mature, loving, fruitful, and faithful followers of God. But you know that means you are called to be that kind of mom. It means you must be faithful on God s path of motherhood for you. That is your mom walk. It is how you walk with God as mother. It is how you seek Him, trust Him, live in His grace, and draw on His strength one step of faith at a time. The mom walk is your path: P--How you walk with Purpose as a mother, A--How you walk with Assurance as a mother, T--How you walk with Trust as a mother, and H--How you walk with Heart as a mother. In The Mom Walk you journey alongside Sally Clarkson in her own walk as a mother after God s heart. Through her personal stories from twenty-seven years of motherhood, inspiring and challenging truths from Scripture, and spiritual insights from both the dark and light sides of the journey, you will find renewed encouragement for your own mom walk with God.

The Mom Walk

Trying to understand what God really says about childhood discipline can be like putting together a puzzle, but the pieces just don't all seem to fit. Since the early 1970s, conservative Christians have rejected the permissive "hands off" discipline of the 1950s, and adopted a strict "hands on" discipline taught by many well-known Christian parenting authorities. That view, though, is based primarily on a faulty exegesis of four verses in Proverbs. Scripture, instead, teaches a relational "hands around" discipline that bears no resemblance to what many have taught for forty years. In Heartfelt Discipline, Clay Clarkson examines all the relevant verses for childhood discipline to show how they have too often been either misunderstood or misapplied to young children, and wrongly turned into a formula for parenting success that has no biblical support. If you have young children and are beginning to try to solve the discipline puzzle for your family, start with this book. It is a fresh and fully biblical perspective on childhood discipline that will change the way you think about your children. You'll see how all the biblical pieces fit together and make sense, and put you on the path to your child's heart. From the back cover: Childhood discipline is your responsibility. If you're a parent, your children need you to discipline them. There's no debate about that in Scripture. They, and God, are expecting you to bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord. But there is one thing open to debate...how to discipline your children. What does the Bible really say? Is there a divinely-designed method, a promise of parental success? Or is there a better way? There's no formula for childhood discipline. No laws, no rules. God has provided a way that is better. It is the way of life, the biblical picture of the path we walk with God. It's all about faith, relationship, Spirit, and heart. As a parent, you're already on that path of life with your children. You can lead them with three key principles of discipline: Direction -- Guiding and showing them how to walk the path with God. Correction -- Getting them back on the path when sin leads them off of it. Protection -- Guarding them from temptations that could draw them away. In Heartfelt Discipline Clay Clarkson helps you understand what the Bible really says about childhood discipline. Drawing on twenty-eight years of parenting and his personal study of the Bible, Clay fully fleshes out God's way of path of life parenting. It will change how you think about your responsibility to discipline your children. It will put you on the path to your child's heart.
