Proverbs 31 Author Calls Women to a Revolutionary Faith What if
there was a real-life invitation to a lifetime of unexpected
destinations and adventure? What if your faith was the key? In her
warm, conversational way, Proverbs 31 author Suzie Eller shows how
your faith is just that. How when you take a step away from the
uncertainty, the to-do list, the busy life, the worries and
excuses, you take a step toward the One who promises to delight and
surprise. Who brings you deeper than you ever thought possible. Two
thousand years ago, 12 men answered the call to follow a man they
hardly knew--and they were changed in ways they never imagined.
Today that same invitation echoes across history, beckoning you to
an adventure that will spill into every aspect of your faith and
life. Come with Me. Will you say yes?
Where is God when life is filled with so much suffering? How can I
be sure of God's presence and affection, even in my pain? Can you
believe in God and still wrestle with questions and doubt? These
are the questions honestly explored in Relentless. Whether in
struggle, illness, death, or failure, the presence of pain causes
us to question the presence of God. We pray and watch the sky,
crossing our spiritual fingers for hardcore proof of God's
nearness. And in the silence, we sense something more sinister:
perceived abandonment. But what if we could collect evidence that
God hasn't left us? What if we could be absolutely certain of God's
presence and affection, strengthening our faith against any
assault? Woven throughout Scripture sits a single, extraordinary
theme: God is with us. Ours is a God who speaks through burning
bushes and leads through pillars of fire, who responds to a broken
world by giving himself. Like the Old Testament story of Joshua's
altar of twelve stones, Relentless delivers twelve key biblical
stories that demonstrate God's unfailing presence. Each chapter
offers an invitation to identify a "stone" in your own life as
tangible evidence of God's nearness. With the turn of the last
page, you will have discovered twelve markers of your own, an altar
of memory to carry you through questions and losses, even ones yet
to come. For the truth-seekers, those drowning in impossible
questions, and those who find themselves swallowed up by the dark,
Relentless is an invitation to search for divine presence in our
everyday stories. With Michele Cushatt's engaging narrative style,
this transformational journey reassures us that God, indeed, is
with us.

Become empowered to face your own messy, complicated life with
fresh courage and bravery. Undone is author Michele Cushatt's quest
to make peace with a complicated life. It is an honest confession
of a diagnosis of cancer and the joys and disappointments of
motherhood and marriage, ripe with regret over what is and, yet,
still hopeful for what could be. With enough humor to ease the
rawness of the story, Undone takes you on a roller-coaster two-year
journey through the unexpectedness of life. A look back makes
Michele long for a do-over, the chance to make fewer mistakes and
leave less of a mess to clean up. A look forward makes Michele
wonder if all her attempts to control life have robbed her of the
vibrancy of it. And, in the middle of this internal chaos, she
finds her once-pristine house filled with the sights and sounds of
three small, uncontainable children who just want to be loved. In
the end, Undone turns complication into a beautiful canvas, angst
into joy, and the unknown into an adventure, revealing that
sometimes life's most colorful and courageous stories are written
right in the middle of the mess.
I Am helps women end the barrage of negative self-talk and replace
it with an empowering new narrative. You'll exchange lies for
truth, insecurity for a rock-solid identity, and break free from
the distorted messages that have held you hostage for too long.
From the moment a woman wakes until she falls, exhausted, on her
pillow, one question plagues her at every turn: Am I enough? The
pressure to do more, be more has never been more intense. Online
marketing. Self-help books. Movies, magazines, and gym memberships.
Even church attendance and social media streams have become a means
of comparing ourselves to impossible standards. Am I pretty enough?
Hip enough? Spiritual enough? We fear the answer is "No." When a
brutal bout with cancer changed how she looked, talked, and lived,
Michele Cushatt embarked on a soul-deep journey to rediscover
herself. The typical self-esteem strategies and positivity plans
weren't enough. Instead, she needed a new foundation, one that
wouldn't prove flimsy when faced with the onslaught of day-to-day
life. With raw personal stories, profound biblical teaching, and
radical truths on which to rebuild your life, I Am will help you:
Refuse to ride the rollercoaster of others' opinions and start
believing what God says about you. Stop agonizing over past regrets
and failures and make peace with God's sovereign plan for your
life. Leave insecurity behind as you exchange temporary fixes for
an identity established on God's unchanging affection. I Am reminds
us that our value isn't found in our talents, achievements,
relationships, or appearance. It is instead found in a God who
chose us, sent us, and promised to be with us--forever.
