COMING APRIL 2012

Sometimes life comes to us wrapped in an unpleasant package. In it we miss out on the 'beautiful' because we are hoping to just find it 'bearable'. We lose sight that not only is God willing to help us through our circumstance, but He is completely able!

In this 366 day devotional, Betty McCutchan encourages you to reach for God's outstretched hand and to walk with Him. As you do, you will find that nothing occurs in life that is coincidental, how God is in every detail, and how He never leaves or forsakes us.

Leave behind the bearable and enter into the beautiful! Take all you hold dear and place it in God's hands, and simply let go! When you do, you will see that In His Time, God Makes All Things Beautiful. Learn More

A little harmless flirting.
Two sisters, with lifelong resentments.

In the aftermath, a younger man offers his heart, but can Bridgette build a new life and a stronger love amid the rubble? Or can she ever forgive the unforgivable? Learn More

Paradise Calling
By: Ilze Henderson

Two reluctant companions are in a dangerous race against time, to solve a mystery with otherworldly implications. Donovan Brown and Jennifer Harvey had no room in their commonsensical worlds to pursue romance or probe the deeper questions of human existence. Donovan’s a well-respected scientist, consumed with his career. Jennifer is equally pragmatic. But when Donovan finds his boss – Jennifer’s father – murdered in the lab under mysterious circumstances, their worlds collide, and the two are thrown together on an astonishing journey.

While tracking clues left by Jennifer’s eccentric father, they uncover the secret project he was working on: a hidden portal to a wondrous realm, in which the life-long, soul-deep cravings of every man and woman can at last be satisfied. Now every step could be their last, because the answers they seek, others would kill for: Who killed the professor? What are the implications of his extraordinary discovery for the human race? Does it have the power to change even their own hearts?

Paradise Calling will take readers on an Avatar-like thrill-ride and leave them breathlessly asking, What if…? Learn More

Evolutionist Richard Dawkins claims that evolution is a fact and wrote a book claiming to demonstrate it. He assured the reader that he offered proof beyond reasonable doubt, with evidence more convincing, more incontrovertible, than any ever used.

However, Wayne Talbot shows that Dawkins' science is often faulty with essential proof points ignored, and that his argument style suffers from the same logical fallacies of which he accuses others. Talbot points out how much of Dawkins’ case is based on a materialistic philosophy rather than scientific fact.

If the evolution theory has been proven then we should reasonably ask,“What specifically has been proven, and what is the evidence?”

In failing to define what he is attempting to prove, we clearly see The Dawkins Deficiency, and why his proof of evolution does NOT evidence “The Greatest Show on Earth.” Learn More

The United States—the land of plenty, yet every day many American families suffer from poverty. How can this be? How does it affect those in its grip? What is the responsibility of the believer in this area of need?

In Open Your Hand Wide W.J. Daubney addresses the spiritual roots of poverty explaining why money and programs will never resolve the issue, why those who are chronically poor can't just “get a job” to solve their problems, how government has supplanted the church as the major caregiver for the poor, and what the average Christian can do to become engaged in caring for these families today.

Be challenged to open your mind to the spiritual truth about this social enigma, allowing God soften and change you so you can open your hand wide toward your neighbors in need. Learn More

Berg Farm tells the story of two brothers in the mid 1960’s who face the reality of being in the military during a time of war. Johnny is quiet, self-effacing, and reliable; he trusts God to see him through. Clark is brash, shallow and self-serving. Two brothers: same background, yet very different from each other. How will they respond to their times?

The brothers belong to a well-grounded Christian family, and are fifth generation Wisconsin dairy farmers of Norwegian heritage. The setting is the real-life town of Stoughton, where being Norwegian is considered bliss, which lends some dry humor to this story of heartache and triumph. The family’s deep character allows them to persevere through a land dispute; the loss of a beloved family member, and the unexpected loss of a son.

Through Berg Farm, the author shows the commitment of God to each of His children, despite their failures. The book also shows the importance of the Holy Spirit for each person in order to respond to life. Underneath it all, the value of the Bible and the family reinforces what it takes to pass on cherished commitments…regardless of the circumstances. Learn More

In today’s post-modern society, many claim that truth—and in particular moral truth—is relative and not absolute. At the same time, most people believe in universal human rights. However, if truth is not absolute there can be no universal human rights.

This book by Stephen McAndrew, a lawyer, focuses on this often overlooked contradiction and contends that a logical examination of the tension between moral relativism and universal human rights must lead to the acceptance of the existence of absolute moral truths. Why It Doesn't Matter What You Believe If It's Not True concludes that Christianity is the source of these moral truths and therefore of universal human rights.

In this thought-provoking book, McAndrew makes the case for the existence of moral absolutes by highlighting the assumption of universal moral truth on which international human rights laws are built. Learn More

Finally you can unlock the mystery of the Bible!

With straight talk on kingdom living, this groundbreaking book speaks to those who long for the God who invites us to reach for Him. Learn More
