In Robert McGee's best-selling book "The Search for
Significance," he helps readers realize the fact that they will
never be content if they search for their significance in
accomplishments or the opinions of others. Instead, God has given
them significance and worth through the work of Christ on the
cross. Because of McGee's classic book, more than two million
readers have learned what it means to be free to enjoy Christ's
love and forgiveness.
Now, McGee invites readers of his book to go on a 10-week
journey of reflection, discovery, and ultimately victory as they
learn how to implement, on a daily basis, the principles of "The
Search for Significance." Each page of this valuable companion to
The Search for Significance includes: Thought-provoking questions
Essential biblical truths Space for readers to reflect on how God
is calling them to a deeper realization of his love for them. Daily

One of Library Journal's "Best Books 2013" (spirituality/religion)
ForeWord 2013 Book of the Year Award Finalist (Graphic Novels and
Comics) Thousands of people start each day with a shot of Coffee
with Jesus, the enormously popular online comic strip. Irreverent
at times, yet always insightful, this volume features classic
entries and all new, exclusive material that was born out of artist
David Wilkie's frustration with the polarized political climate in
America. "Originally created as a one-off, single-panel comic on my
blog, utilizing old advertising clip art for the main characters
and Sunday school clip art for the person of Jesus, I simply
enjoyed the notion of Jesus appearing at table with these people
(dressed as they were and sharing coffee with them) to refute their
claims of how he might vote on any particular issue, to convince
them that they cannot confuse their flag with their God--to set
them straight, as it were," explains Wilkie. But it didn't stop
here. Soon the Jesus of Coffee with Jesus could be seen offering
counsel to a recurring cast of characters on their personal and
work lives. The characters--Carl, Lisa, Ann, Kevin and Joe--all
honestly engage with Jesus about their successes and failures and
wants and needs, effectively showing what conversation with God--or
prayer--might look like. Poignant, pointed, and rife with good
theology, Coffee with Jesus is organized around six themes: getting
to know Jesus, spiritual disciplines, relationships, culture,
church, and the challenges of life. With exclusive material like
twelve-panel mega-strips and "behind the strip" reflections on
life, faith and art, Wilkie inventively poses answers to the
perpetual Christian speculation, "What would Jesus do?"

Settling In is a collection of meditations that came from the
journal of Richard Morgan when, at age 74, he moved to a retirement
community in Pennsylvania. Reflecting on his experience, the author
identified three major stages in his spiritual journey:
- Initial excitement and euphoria;
- Second thoughts and regrets;
- Discerning his life in the community.
These meditations will help those who are considering entering a
continuing care/retirement community and for the adult children and
caregivers of persons facing such a decision. The author's generous
sharing of his own experience will help prepare those considering a
life transition and also help their loved ones to understand the
struggles older adults go through as they seek to make a place
their home.
- Persons in later life who are considering options for later
years
- Staff and administration of retirement communities--especially
chaplains
- Adult children of older adults
Many Christians are locked in a cycle of addiction, particularly in
the areas of alcohol and drug abuse. Adapting his successful Steps
to Freedom in Christ, Dr. Neil Anderson has provided an alternative
model of recovery for substance and alcohol abusers--a model that
has also freed hundreds of thousands struggling with other kinds of
addictions. But the devil doesn't give up easily. So to further
help recovering addicts still struggling with temptation, there is
the One Day at a Time devotional. Here are inspirational readings
that reinforce the Steps to Freedom and encourage those on the road
to recovery. This product is for those who want to break free from
a debilitating lifestyle of addiction, and for pastors and
counselors to use with their clients.
Using everyday "newspaper" English, Dr. Demaray brings a fresh new
aproach to the deeply meaningful message of Thomas Kempis' "The
Imitation of Christ" which, next to the Bible, is perhaps the most
widely-read book in the world.

Dorothy L. Sayers took her inspiration from a monk's account of the
fire of 1174, and the subsequent rebuilding of Canterbury Cathedral
Quire. She portrays William of Sens, the chosen architect, as eaten
away by pride in his splendid work, unable to give glory to God for
his achievement. Enacted in the presence of a group of graciously
influential archangels, the play reveals the carelessness of some
of the monks, resulting in the terrifying fall that cripples
William. His agony brings him to repentance and gratitude before
God, and finally to the renunciation of his role, leaving the
completion of the rebuilding to others. This edition also comes
with an English translation of the Latin texts in the play.
