WHAT NOW?

When the World Stops is a timely yet timeless message for God’s people that provides
practical tools for not only weathering this current crisis, but emerging from it with a
strengthened faith and deeper appreciation for the things that matter most. Like a
reassuring hand on your shoulder, Dr. Michael L. Brown helps point the way forward
for those seeking answers to questions like:

• Is this pandemic the final plague talked about in the Book of Revelation?
• Are we indeed in the final days before Jesus’ return?
• Who or what sent the virus?
• How do I balance my family’s needs with the faith to live for Christ in crisis?
• Should we submit to the government’s guidelines?
• How can I steward my health in a biblical way?

Dr. Brown brings biblically sound and clear answers for staying healthy, living with
wisdom, and maintaining your faith. As we move forward with wisdom in the power of
the Holy Spirit, we must understand that "the darkness is the divine setup for the
light. The sickness is the divine setup for the healing. The current crisis is the divine
setup for the church to arise and shine and make a difference. We must seize this
moment before it passes. We must milk it to the full, for the glory of God. Does your
heart bear witness to my words?"

This book will help you see how you can be the hands and feet of Jesus during
this world's dark hour. It provides a God-calibrated compass for the turbulent
uncharted waters we find ourselves in and sifts through the dizzying array of
information regarding this current crisis, separating fact from fiction, prudence
from pandemonium and faith from fear.

Glossolalia (paranormal speaking in tongues) and zenolalia (paranormal speaking in allegedly foreign languages) are features of many sub-cultures and religions. The most obvious example is Pentecostalism, where every believer in many denominations is expected to speak in tongues at least once - the gift in other cultures being limited to individuals, shamans and mediums. This book, first published in 1978, surveys the practice of 'speaking in tongues' in anthropology, Christianity and spiritualism, and provides an analysis of the psychological, theological and linguistic considerations of the phenomenon.

When Nazi Germany occupied Hungary in March 1944 violent persecution of the Jews began, including taking hundreds of thousands to concentration camps. It did not help Klara Kardos that she was Catholic: because of her Jewish background, she was also taken to Auschwitz in June of 1944 at the age of 24. At the camp, younger women were not killed; they were taken to ammunition factories to do forced labor. Klara survived the horror of death camps and was liberated in May 1945. Years after her return to Hungary, at the request of her friends, she wrote down her camp experiences in a small book in the Hungarian language. This is her story.

If you've always struggled with the stereotypical quiet-time, don't give up hope

As a Christian, you know you need to have devotions. You've heard it from your pastor; you've seen the study guides; you may have even made a dent in the One Year Bible. Some of you have valiantly set your alarm clocks back an hour for morning quiet time, only to find that life creeps back in to steal your resolve. It isn't because you don't love God. You quit because you "bought into" someone's unsustainable habit at an unreasonable pace.

But you don't have to keep running on empty. Bestselling author Doug Fields offers an uncomplicated, practical plan that you "can" carry out. This book won't teach you how to "cram God" into your already-full schedule. Instead, Doug will show you a practical, doable way of setting God first, and then letting everything else in your life fall into place. You "will" experience the fullness God has for you-just take some time to refuel.

Parenting is a school for spiritual formation, says author Gary Thomas, and our children are our teachers. The journey of caring for, rearing, training, and loving our children profoundly alters us forever...even when the journey is sometimes a rough one.Sacred Parenting is unlike any other parenting book on the market. This is not a "how-to" book that teaches readers the ways to discipline their kids or help them achieve their full potential. Instead of a discussion about how parents change their children, Sacred Parenting turns the tables and demonstrates how God uses children to change their parents.Stepping beyond the overly-tilled soil of method books, parents can learn a whole new side of parenting. They'll be encouraged by stories that tell how other parents handled the challenges and difficulties of being a parent - and how their children transformed their relationship with God.The lessons the author writes about are timeless. But in this edition, Thomas adds in some additional insights and stories that he's learned and lived over the past fifteen years of his own parenting. Gary has found that the lessons have remained much the same but there are new applications for the readers in this generation who are just now coming to his book.

Discernment: Reading the Signs of Daily Life features the wisdom that spiritual leader and counselor Henri J. M. Nouwen brought to the essential question asked by every Christian and seeker: What should I do with my life? Nouwen emphasizes listening to the Word of God--in our hearts, in the Bible, in the community of faith, and in the voice of the poor as a way to discern God's plan. Although the late Henri J. M. Nouwen counseled many people during his lifetime, his principles of discernment were never collected into a single volume. Now, in association with the Nouwen Legacy Trust, Michael Christensen--one of Nouwen's longtime students--and Rebecca Laird have taken his coursework, journals, and unpublished writings to create this and other books in the series exploring God's will for your life.
