In History Makers, Dutch Sheets and William Ford III reveal how God
wants us to connect with the powerful and timeless things He has
done in the past so that we can become empowered for the future. We
must look to our Christian forefathers and pray for the renewal of
the covenants God made with them, building on God's past work to
move closer to His ultimate goals for us as a nation and a planet.
Now is our chance to connect with the past, shaping the outcome of
the future, and turning it back in God's direction!
How do we respond to God, our family, and our colleagues when our
whole world is shattered by the death of a loved one? For Spoken
Word artist Dai Woolridge, there were sometimes no words. In this
honest and personal story of grief, Dai offers a creative response
to God. Working through a timeline of grief, he shares his
experience of burn-out, anti-depressants and the question of why
doesn't God heal? Using poetry, prayers and scripture, Dai looks
back at his cries to God, and His words back to him. This is a book
that will give words to those who are going through personal loss,
and for those who have grieved, are grieving or have never yet
grieved.
As parents of adult children, we often worry about whether our
children will make good choices when they're on their own. Praying
the Scriptures for Your Adult Children provides you with biblically
based prayers and encouraging stories to guide you as you pray for
your adult children through anything they face. Parent and author
Jodie Berndt understands what it's like to release children into
the world and still care deeply about them and everything they're
up against in life. In Praying the Scriptures for Your Adult
Children, Jodie shares prayers designed with your adult children in
mind, whether they're just leaving the nest, flying well on their
own, or struggling to take off at all. Jodie shares advice on
navigating all aspects of adulthood with encouraging stories from
experienced parents who are praying their children through
real-life issues like leaving the church, struggling with health
concerns, navigating broken marriages, fighting addiction, dealing
with financial problems, and more. In Praying the Scriptures for
Your Adult Children, Jodie addresses some of the most difficult
questions that confront parents: How can I support my children when
they make decisions I disagree with? Is it too late to start
praying for my children? What does the Bible teach us about praying
for our children? With the grace and wisdom of someone who's been
there, Jodie shares the tools and encouragement you need to find
the strength to keep praying, even as you doubt yourself and grieve
over your children's choices. Whatever you're praying for, Praying
the Scriptures for Your Adult Children will help you find
confidence and peace taken straight from Scripture, guiding you to
the bedrock of God's promises as you release your children to God's
shepherding care.
