When will he meet his cousin and know if he was right about who Jesus is? This is an epic story of great faith and a life dedicated to fulfil God's purpose.

It's time to take our power back We can barely imagine our lives without technology. Tech gives us tools to connect with our friends, listen to our music, document our lives, share our opinions, and keep up with what's going on in the world.

Sometimes, it feels like our devices have a lot more control over us than we have over them. But it doesn't have to be that way. In fact, we deserve so much more than what technology offers us. And when we're wise about how we use our devices, we can get more--more joy, more connection, more out of life. Tech shouldn't get in the way of a life worth living. Let's get tech-wise.

This board book, written by bestselling author Kevin DeYoung and illustrated by Don Clark, introduces young children to the big story of the Bible one letter at a time.

Growing up on his father's farm, young Noah loves and cares for the animals, little knowing that one day when he was much older, God would choose him to save his family and animals of every kind from a catastrophic flood. Noah, along with his family, with faithfulness and determination take on God's plan - an ambitious project to build an ark, gather the animals, and prepare for the challenge of surviving the flood. As the first drops of rain fall, the trusting family crew and animal passengers settle into life on board. How will their days pass with the monotony of the incessant rain, and then the long, long wait as the waters recede? This is an epic story of great trust, supportive teamwork, and uplifting faithfulness.
