be inspired by the compelling story of David The Admiral Robinson,
who went from the Navy to the NBA, becoming MVP center for the San
Antonio Spurs. When David Robinson became MVP center for the San
Antonio Spurs, he seemed to have it all---fame, success, wealth,
and a wonderful family---but he didn t feel complete until he found
his faith. This is the true story of one man s disciplined life,
how he excelled in academics and sports, and who isn t afraid to
share his utter devotion to God."
Christian parents are not exempt from the struggle and heartbreak
caused by rebellious children. This softcover version of the
classic resource The Hurting Parent by Margie Lewis, written with
her son, bestselling author Gregg Lewis, for the first time offers
the rest of the story that inspired the original edition of this
book. The Hurting Parent takes a realistic approach to the problems
young people face today---peer pressure, easy access to drugs and
alcohol, and cultural influences that pull them from their family s
faith. The Lewises acknowledge there are no simple formulas or
simple answers. But the biblical insight, emotional understanding,
and practical encouragement they offer will be life changing.
Written by a hurting parent for other hurting parents, this book,
by ministering to hundreds of thousands of families over the past
thirty years, has earned a prominent spot not only on the personal
bookshelves of countless parents and their family and friends, but
also on the professional shelves of pastors, youth ministers, and
Christian counselors."
From Inner-City Nobody to Brilliant Neurosurgeon When Ben Carson
was in school, his classmates called him the class dummy.
Many---including Ben himself---doubted that he would ever amount to
anything. But his mother never let him quit. She encouraged Ben to

discovered a deep love of learning. Today this young boy from the
inner-city is one of the world s greatest pediatric neurosurgeons.
Through determination and lot of hard work, Ben overcame his many
obstacles and is now dedicated to saving the lives of critically
ill children around the world."

and sinful of ancient Palestine and left a miracle in its wake. And
his ministry hasn t ceased. Today, he looks for willing hearts and

physician, ' your mentor, your source of guidance, discipline, and
encouragement. Dr. Stevens takes you inside stories from the Bible
to obtain challenging perspectives and life-changing truths. You ll

powerful relationship between resident and attending physicians;
the overcrowded patient quarters of a missionary hospital; what it

more. Best of all, you ll gain surprising insights from the life
and methods of Jesus, the ultimate doctor, in his ministry to
desperately needy people two thousand years ago . . . and today.

It was just another time of enjoying milkshakes and small talk.
Neither Debbie Cuevas nor her boyfriend, Mark Brewster, gave much
thought to the white pickup truck that had pulled up beside them on
the riverfront. Until . . . a revolver thrust through the driver s
window . . . a hand jerked Debbie s head back and a voice said,
"Don t do anything stupid" . . . and a quiet Friday evening
abruptly became a nightmare. For the first time, here is the untold
other half of Dead Man Walking, the movie that depicted killer
Robert Willie s death-row relationship with spiritual advisor Helen
Prejean. Now the woman whose testimony helped send Willie to the
electric chair tells her side of the story--the side America hasn t
heard. In gripping detail, Debbie Morris--formerly Debbie
Cuevas--recounts her hours of terror . . . and her years of walking
an agonizing road back to wholeness. More than a riveting
narrative, here is an incredible tale of courage, faith, and
forgiveness. In a world where all of us struggle sooner or later
with unforgiveness, Debbie Morris is a living testimony to the
grace we long for: grace that shines more brightly than we dare
believe, bright enough to triumph over the darkest evil."

In the long years after the world ends, elder empires struggle
toward an uncertain rebirth under the shadow of the relentless
demiurge Pantherion. A horse-headed man, a wizard always in need of
a drink and a cast of other strange, unlikely souls struggle
against the growing darkness, the machinations of a foe that can
twist beasts into monsters in service of a scourge that could end
all humanity. Join Burroughs Viklund, a morose man-monster who'd
rather be tending his watermelons instead of saving the world,
Shaw, a somewhat-shifty magus reluctantly willing to die (and die
again) for his Art, and Viday, a truly deer friend, on their
journey through the spindled Island of Caiphon in an adventure
laden with action, wonder, pathos, talking dogs and surprisingly
effective (though certainly off-label) uses of canned goods. Lose
hope for the future of humanity, while having a blast doing it
BURDENS is Peter Trinidad's first novel in the UGLINESS MEN series.
He wishes for you to learn to suffer as he has. Remember, if you
stare into the ugliness it becomes a part of you.
"The Insanity of God" is the personal and lifelong journey of an
ordinary couple from rural Kentucky who thought they were going on
just your ordinary missionary pilgrimage, but discovered it would
be anything but. After spending over six hard years doing relief
work in Somalia, and experiencing life where it looked like God had
turned away completely and He was clueless about the tragedies of
life, the couple had a crisis of faith and left Africa asking God,
"Does the gospel work anywhere when it is really a hard place? It
sure didn't work in Somalia.
Nik recalls that, "God had always been so real to me, to Ruth, and
to our boys. But was He enough, for the utter weariness of soul I
experienced at that time, in that place, under those
circumstances?" It is a question that many have asked and one that,
if answered, can lead us to a whole new world of faith.
How does faith survive, let alone flourish in a place like the
Middle East? How can Good truly overcome such evil? How do you
maintain hope when all is darkness around you? How can we say
"greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world" when it
may not be visibly true in that place at that time? How does anyone
live an abundant, victorious Christian life in our world's toughest
places? Can Christianity even work outside of Western, dressed-up,
ordered nations? If so, how?
"The Insanity of God" tells a story--a remarkable and unique story
to be sure, yet at heart a very human story--of the Ripkens' own
spiritual and emotional odyssey. The gripping, narrative account of
a personal pilgrimage into some of the toughest places on earth,
combined with sobering and insightful stories of the remarkable
people of faith Nik and Ruth encountered on their journeys, will
serve as a powerful course of revelation, growth, and challenge for
anyone who wants to know whether God truly is enough.
