First published in 1937, Letters by a Modern Mystic is a
compilation of excerpts from letters Christian missionary Frank C.

in moment-by-moment communication with God. Short, simple and
extraordinarily powerful, this little book offers a profoundly
challenging but life-changing way of living. Laubach's letters are

this spiritual discipline - but also showing the joy, wonder and
transformation he experienced by connecting with God and living in
communion with him every minute of the day. Easy to read and full
of wisdom, Letters by a Modern Mystic is essential reading for
anyone seeking to deepen their connection with God or wanting to
make their spiritual formation part of their everyday life. With a
foreword by Pete Grieg show its continued relevance for today, it
will challenge you to see that it is possible to live in communion
with God in every moment and change the way you approach your
faith. Included at the back of this book is 'The Game with
Minutes', the practical guide Laubach developed to assist others in
applying the principles and spiritual practices in his letters. It
is a game that has transformed countless lives - and it is time for
a new generation to play.
Biblical Christianity In African Perspective is a survey of the major truths of the Christian faith as seen from the perspective of the African world view.
The book addresses the major tenets of the Christian faith together with some of the most important moral and spiritual issues of African life. Unlike most theology books, this book has been purposely written in readable everyday language, including many true African stories. The book was written by a person with 50 years of study in the Word of God, who has spent over 40 of those years relating the Bible to African life and issues.
It is the result of five years of graduate research and evaluation in consultation with more than 300 African theological students and faculty in various schools.
Have you ever looked back on your life and wondered if there were
situations that God was actively involved with but you didn't even
know it? This book gives principles that will help you recognize
God's presence in your life, guide your relationships, prepare you
for spiritual and emotional success, and motivate you to help
others recognize when God show up. This best-selling author teaches
the life-transforming principles he learned when he encountered God
though an unexpected spiritual experience, providing principles for
learning to receive God's love, face life's trials, cope with
temptation, and face disruptions of every kind.
Biblical fiction retelling of Noah and the Ark.
Zara and Noah have walked together with the Creator for their entire lives, and they have done their best in an increasingly wicked and defiant world to raise their three sons to follow in their footsteps. It has been a challenge--and it's about to get much, much harder.
When the Creator tells her husband to build an ark to escape the coming wrath against the sins of humankind, Zara steps out with him in faith. But the derision and sabotage directed their way from both friends and extended family are difficult to bear, as is knowing that everyone she interacts with beyond her husband, her sons, and their wives is doomed to destruction. And when the ark is finally finished and the animals have been shut up inside, Zara and her family embark on an adventure that will test their patience and their faith as they await deliverance and dry ground.
Experience the story of Noah and the flood like you never have before. With bestselling and award-winning author Jill Eileen Smith as your guide, you'll never look at a rainbow the same way again.
