In an age of tourism, the great challenge is to see ourselves at a
deeper level: the dimension of pilgrimage. Being a pilgrim might
involve a journey to distant places associated with God-revealing
events, but it has more to do with simply living day by day in a
God-attentive way. Jim Forest's book assists the reader to see
one's life as an opportunity for pilgrimage, whether in places as
familiar as your living room or walking the pilgrim path to
Santiago de Compostela. Drawing on the wisdom of the saints and his
own wide-ranging travels, Forest leads us to a range of "thin
places," including Iona, Jerusalem, the secret annex of Anne Frank,
the experience of illness, the practice of hospitality, and other
places and occasions where we may find ourselves surprised by
grace.

Confessions of an Adulterous Christian Woman offers a rare and
honest look at the destructive descent into adultery and reveals
the redeeming power of God's grace and His ability to restore a
ruined life. Author Lyndell Hetrick Holtz was a pastor's wife,
Bible study leader, and retreat speaker who never believed she
would commit adultery. She thought her involvement with ministry
gave her extra protection from the temptation to have an affair.
But, in her forties, her life began to crumble, and suddenly
adultery seemed to be the solution for an unhappy life and
marriage. With emotion and conviction, Lyndell reflects on the
disillusionment and faulty beliefs that led to destructive
decisions. She tells of the heartache and pain she experienced when
her affair was discovered and the resulting consequences, including
the loss of her 25 year marriage, her beautiful home, her witness
in the community, her friends, and the respect of her four adult
children. It seemed as if her life was over and her relationship
with Christ forever ruined. But it was here, broken and sprawled in
the dust of shame and defeat, where Lyndell encountered love unlike
any she had ever known. With worship and humility, she shares how
God lovingly embraced her shattered life and began to redeem,
restore, and rebuild it in miraculous ways. Confessions of an
Adulterous Christian Woman gives women a first-hand look at the
destruction of adultery and provides the awareness needed to avoid
assuming that Christian women are immune to adultery's snare. This
powerful story examines the devastating effects of adultery, but
more importantly, reveals a God who continues to write His story of
redemption, restoration, and reconciliation on the broken lives of
humanity, taking us, from utter despair to undying devotion to Him
and the unconditional, healing love He gives.
A profound follow-up to the bestselling book and major motion
picture, The Ultimate Gift. When Jason Stevens found out he had to
jump through hoops to get an unnamed inheritance from his
billionaire grandfather, he was not amused. By the time he'd
finished learning the lessons, he'd become a different man. Ready
to tackle the duties of running a multibillion-dollar trust, he is
once again derailed, this time by his pugnacious family. Not
content with their cattle ranches and oil fields, his aunts,
uncles, and even his parents are determined to see every last dime
entrusted to their own self-serving pockets. With none of the
reluctance he initially showed for the gift, he eagerly accepts the
challenge and pushes himself to prove, not only to his family and
the court but also to the world, that with determination and the
simple tenets of the gift, anyone can lead the ultimate life.
A delightful call to a vibrant spirituality that celebrates the
everyday elements of our physical lives, reminding us that our
faith began and must continue as a way of life.
The faith of Jesus was once considered a distinctive way of
life, rather than a complex theological system. Seeking to recover
such a model, Pilgrim Heart re-imagines discipleship as a way of
life guided by a set of simple daily practices known to the
earliest disciples and the saints through the ages. Proven to
transform lives for two thousand years, these practices include
friendship, Sabbath rest, hospitality, confession, forgiveness, and
storytellingall part of an in-the-world spirituality, one that
embraces the God-given embodied human experience.
