"Isaiah. Isaiah! Get up, son! Isaiah! You have to get up! Get off the floor! I can't stop!"I reached one hand behind me and shook him the best I could while driving. My heart pounded, and my body trembled. What could be so wrong that he can't control his body? Things go downhill quickly after Christina Custodio picks up her thirteen-year-old son early from football practice due to a headache. By the time she arrives, he has little control of his body and quickly becomes unresponsive. Soon, he is rushed into surgery, his brain filled with blood from a severe brain hemorrhage. From the time he was born, Christina had always felt Isaiah would die young. Though a typical boy with no health issues, the thought always lingered. Now Christina begs God to change His mind and save her son's life. When God Changed His Mind chronicles Christina's inspiring and emotional story of trusting God through the unknown, peace among the chaos, and joy in the midst of sorrow. Grateful that Isaiah survives but unsure he will ever recover his speech and mobility, Christina shares of her dependence on God during the ups and downs of their journey, the power of prayer, and her determination to use challenges and struggles for His glory.

Never jump on the back of a motorcycle with the devil just because you think he''s Jesus. Redemption Gray has traveled fifteen hundred miles from home to find happiness-he gained it, made a bold declaration of faith, and immediately found himself stranded on the side of the road next to his father''s totaled car. When Longstoryshort pulled up moments later, he seemed like an answer to a prayer Redemption hadn''t even had time to speak. From the back of that motorcycle, the world becomes a different place. Dependent on a stranger to help him get home, at first Redemption finds his rescuer fascinating, admirable, and wise. But as the miles pass beneath them, first impressions wear thin, and truth is hard to find. When Longstoryshort finally shows his true colors, will Redemption have the strength and courage to break free, or will he be trapped in a life of unrestrained evil?
We all have them. Some are visible, obvious and seen. Others are invisible, hidden, and unseen. But they all are powerful, with the ability to affect our identity, value, and worth. They are our scars. Our hurts. Our wounds. Denise Ann Goosby has struggled with her inner and outer scars since childhood. After developing a disfiguring, and often painful, skin condition as a child and enduring bullying, family dysfunction, and rejection, Denise has known physical and emotional pain her entire life. But where there are scars, there is healing. Scarred like Him: Seeing the Beauty in the Life You Live chronicles Denise's journey to feeling loved, whole, accepted, and beautiful. Through her story, you'll discover that healing can only come when we offer up our most vulnerable, soul-scarred selves to the One who accepts us and desires to live through us. Each chapter of Scarred like Him beautifully weaves Denise's story with a related devotional and a heartfelt song or poem, penned by Denise herself.
"With the exception of Samuel Adams, no name is oftener found in connection with the public acts of the day, than that of William Molineux, and his death ... was a great loss to the patriot cause."¿Francis S. Drake, nineteenth-century historianIf not for William Molineux, a man of determined spirit and rowdy imagination, the Boston Tea Party might never have happened. His fight for freedom is eerily similar to what Americans face in the opening decades of the twenty-first century.He and next-door neighbor John Hancock engage in illicit trade deals with Holland for a precious commodity-untaxed tea. When British troops set up camp within sight of Molineux's front door, he springs into action. His rabble-rousing ways lead to his being dubbed the author of the so-called Boston Massacre and culminate in the iconic Boston Tea Party. History comes to life in this family-friendly, liberty-loving novel that seeks to rekindle The Spirit of a Revolution.
It is possible to set aside the things that have held us back-unforgiveness is a big one-and grow toward maturity in our Christian faith. In a time when division runs rampant-even in the church-and believers shred each other publicly for differing opinions, one man bravely steps out to call Christians to unity in the One who binds them all together-Jesus Christ. Author James W. Walraven dares to suggest that Christians make wiser choices, forgive one another, and mature in their faith.Walraven, author of Will God Save Everyone, doesn't shy away from tough topics. He suggests that though doctrines diverge, rather than separate over differences, Christians rally around the truth of the gospel-believers should treat others better than themselves. In a me-first, turbulent culture, the biblical call to love one another is almost a radical concept, but Walraven is convinced unity can be achieved.In One in Christ, readers will discover, among others, what biblical unity looks like as seen in the relationship of God the Father and God the Son; causes of strife and how to deal with discord; ways to cultivate intimacy with God and other believers; the basis for and call to Christian unity; how to recognize and resist false teaching; what it means to mature in Christ. Written with strength through supporting Scriptures and other resources, yet with personal vulnerability, each chapter concludes with thought-provoking personal challenges designed to move believers closer to oneness in Christ.
