women who lost their lives because of their faith during the 16th
century. 184 pages.
What do an ex-con, a former drug addict, a real estate broker, a
college student and a married mother of two have in common?
Nothing, or so I thought. Who would have imagined that God would
make a prayer group as mismatched as ours the closest of friends? I
almost didn't even go to the Chicago Women's Conference--after all,
being thrown together with five hundred strangers wasn't exactly my
"comfort zone." But something happened that weekend to make us
realize we had to hang together, and the Yada Yada Prayer Group"
was born When I faced the biggest crisis of my life, God used my
newfound Sisters to show me what it means to be just a sinner saved
by grace.
In this beautifully illustrated treasury, Dave and Neta Jackson
present the true-life stories of fifteen key Christian heroes. Each
hero is profiled in a short biography and three educational yet
exciting and thought-provoking anecdotes from his or her life.
Ideal for family devotions, homeschooling, and more, this inspiring
collection includes stories from the lives of Amy Carmichael,
Martin Luther, Dwight L. Moody, John Wesley, Samuel Morris, Gladys
Aylward, and nine others.
You can only walk forward when you learn how to lean. Just months
after her husband threw her out of their penthouse and sent their
two sons away, Gabrielle Fairbanks is finally getting back on her
feet. She has a job she loves at the homeless shelter, an apartment
for her and the boys, caring friends, and even a new love interest.
Best of all, an unexpected windfall has given her a brand-new
dream--a House of Hope for homeless mothers and their children.
Piece by piece, Gabby's new life is coming together--but the old
one keeps dragging her back. First her husband Philip hints at a
reconciliation...then hits her up for a loan to pay his gambling
debts. And when Gabby tells him no, he makes a desperate move that
puts them all in harm's way. How can she even think of embarking on
a new venture when so much is up in the air? Gabby is realizing
that she needs something far greater than her own strength or even
that of her friends. That to move forward, she must first lean on
the only One who knows what the future holds.
Gabby knows God is the God of second chances.
But can she give one to the man who betrayed her?
When she was thrown out of the penthouse she shared with her
husband and their sons, Gabby didn't know if she'd ever find a soft
place to land. But after seeking refuge at the shelter where she
works, extraordinary things happen as she is reintroduced to
God.
From the ashes of her marriage comes the House of Hope--a safe
haven for homeless moms and their children.
But now those ashes of her destroyed marriage are being stirred
again. When her long-gone husband's life hits rock bottom, he
reappears and asks for one more chance. And Gabby faces what feels
like an impossible choice. Take him back. Or keep moving forward
without him. Toward someone new who hasn't betrayed her.
Is God redeeming what Gabby thought was gone forever? Or is He
leading her down a different path and giving her something--and
someone--new?
