Sub-titled "Daily Inspiration for Embracing Your Purpose, Power,
and Possibilities," this new 90-day devotional for women reinforces
the message from the book "Kingdom Woman" (by Chrystal Evans Hurst
& Tony Evans), calling every Christ-following woman to tap into
the power of God as she finds and fulfills the purpose for which
God has fashioned her. A Kingdom Woman seeks to align herself and
operate under the authority of God--in every area of life. With
practical insights and applications in both the lives of Christian
women and those they love, this devotional will encourage women to
embrace their role as leaders under God's authority, disciple them
to live as true heirs under the covenant God made with His
children, and challenge women to initiate the practical principles
of living under the rule of Christ.

"Blumhardt's conviction that God is present and powerful and able
to still work his will in the world today breathes through every
prayer. These are as striking, moving, and provocative now as they
surely were when Blumhardt prayed them." John E. Phelan, Jr., The
Covenant Companion End each day of the year peacefully by turning
to God with a prayer and a Bible passage. We want to turn to God at
the end of each day, but often don't find the words to express our
deepest feelings and longing. This collection of prayers is one of
the few daily devotionals especially intended for use in the
evening. Blumhardt's words bespeak a certainty in God's nearness.
The peace that flows from them comes from an unshakeable conviction

Since publication of the first edition in 1918, "A History of the
Christian Church" by Williston Walker has enjoyed outstanding
success and recognition as a classic in the field. Written by an
eminent theologian, it combines in its narrative a rare blend of

scholarship in recent years, extensive revisions have been made to
this fourth edition. Three scholars from Union Theological Seminary
in New York have incorporated new historical discoveries and
provided fresh interpretations of various periods in church history
from the first century to the twentieth. The result is a thoroughly
updated history which preserves the tenor and structure of Walker's

One of the best-loved spiritual writers of our time-an author
ranked with C.S. Lewis and Thomas Merton-Henry J.M. Nowuen, takes a
moving, personal look at human mortality in Our Greatest Gift. A
meditation on dying and caring, Our Greatest Gift gently and
eloquently reveals the gifts that the living and dying can give to

These striking and memorable poems are contemporary reworkings of
an ancient collection of poetic texts, the Psalms. The Psalms are
noted as much for their raw honesty as for their beauty and depth.
No human experience or emotion is considered off-limits and the
writers rage at God for life's incomprehensible cruelty as freely
as they exult in life's blessings. Carla Grosch-Miller takes these
powerful voices and themes and transposes them from a distant and
ancient culture to a contemporary one with recognizable images and
metaphors. Some sixty refreshed Psalms reflect the wrestling that
accompanies new understandings of God. Others are wholly new and
are written for specific occasions and events in modern life.
Psalms Redux is not intended to supplant the Psalms that are the
poetry of our faith. Rather they are aids for those who are seeking
to refresh their vocabulary of prayer and worship.

Temple at age 12.
Divided into three main sections--Prayers for Christmas and Advent,
Devotions for Advent, and Devotions for Christmastide--Storey

prayers of the Church, some of them translated into contemporary
language for the first time.
