In The Lingering Light
By Cynthia Fantasia

Alzheimer’s is a particularly cruel disease.  It robs us of the people we love ― slowly, subtly, but unrelentingly.  Our love for them is tested as their needs increase and their recall decreases, and our own needs suffer neglect as more and more of our time and attention is given to our loved one.  Cynthia Fantasia is a caregiver.  In this deeply understanding and empowering work she walks you through the landscape of caregiving ― for your loved one and for yourself.  (more…)

Mental Health & the Gospel Community – Edited

Battles Christians Face
By Vaughan Roberts

The Bible warns of a mixed experience in this life.  We live in a fallen world and have to fight continually against earthly temptations, but we do so as heaven’s citizens, already enjoying some of salvation’s great blessings. Vaughan Roberts calls us to realism.  Christians will struggle with battles such as image, lust and doubt.  But he also urges us to seek strength from the Bible, by the Spirit and through God’s people.  We are weaker than we often acknowledge, but he is far stronger than we can possibly imagine.

Parenting With Words of Grace

How you speak to your kids today will impact your relationship with them tomorrow.

As a parent, your words are powerful.  What you say and how you say it has the potential to either invite your children into deeper relationship with you or push them away.  What’s more, in a very real sense, your words represent ― or misrepresent ― God’s words to his children ― meaning they (more…)

Done with That
By Bob Merritt

The Bible says the old life is gone and the new life has come (see 2 Cor. 5:17). But we still sin; still get angry, arrogant, and greedy.  Sin destroys everything in its path, yet it’s also kind of fun and quite compelling.  It often has us holding on to parts of the old life instead of embracing the new life we’ve been promised.

In Done with That, Pastor Bob Merritt exposes the inner battle we all fight with sin.  He exposes the cycle of failure and loss and shows readers that (more…)

Blessed Broken Given
By Glenn Packiam

What could be more ordinary than bread?

Throughout Scripture we discover that nothing is as common as it seems, not even bread.  Bread fell from heaven as a sign of God’s provision.  Jesus fed the multitudes with loaves of bread and referred to Himself as “the bread of life.”

Bread, as it turns out, is far from ordinary.  It is glorious.  (more…)
