Thankfully, the Bible teaches us what a healthy and thriving marriage requires. Establishing a routine of daily prayer is foundational to achieving this type of marriage.In Blessed with the Best: A 90-Day Devotional for Newlyweds, Richard and Ruth share from their unique perspective as newlyweds, powerful faith and increasingly stirred passion to see lives fulfilled. From finances and careers to relationships and temptations to dreams and decision making, couples will learn how turning the focus away from a self-centered marriage and toward a Christ-centric relationship changes everything.

God knew the deceitfulness of Satan and the outcome in the Garden of Eden; why then did He plant the Tree of the knowledge of good and evil? It is a question that has been asked for centuries. In her book, Poems of Faith in the Garden of Hope and Grace, the author writes in her first poem "e;Genesis"e;, that God created all things good the way He envisioned it. He is omniscient-all knowing. God, the Creator, had the solution to mankind's fall before He established the universe. He knew He'd present Himself on the cross and destroy the work of the devil. These poems speak of God's hope and grace, how we can take our stand against the enemy and how one day He'll reestablish a new Paradise!

How a lonely old man's act of innocent kindness, inspires a family to savor each day.

This anthology covers thirteen centuries of Christian poetry from the ancient Dream of the Rood to modern poems by T. S. Eliot and C. S. Lewis.I can think of no one better qualified to assemble an anthology of Christian devotional poetry than Elizabeth Marlow. She not only knows this poetry well but has taught it for many years to appreciative students. Best of all, she loves and serves the Lord to whom the poems in this collection direct the gaze of our souls. With this anthology, she has given us a tool with which to stir up the embers of our hearts, that our love for the triune God might blaze all the brighter. I highly recommend this collection.-Greg Bailey, Director of Editorial, Crossway BooksI am chastened by comments in the preface to this book: "e;If we don't read, reflect on, and enjoy the great wealth of Christian poetry available to us, these poetic gems will eventually be consigned to academic libraries and forgotten by the majority of the reading public."e; Apart from reading and singing psalms and hymns, I have not been an avid reader of poetry. I confess this to my shame, and recently I determined to address this appalling shortcoming in my life. Elizabeth Marlow's anthology of poetry is the ideal antidote. I am excited to recommend this anthology of thirteen centuries of English poetry. Just look at the table of contents, and your appetite will be whetted. So join me in learning to love God better by reading these selections.-Dr. Joseph A. Pipa, President of Greenville Theological Seminary,Professor of Systematic and Homiletical Theology, Greenville, SC

Years later, she would find that her dad had started the letter, but he never finished it. She wanted her dad's voice to guide her through the milestones of life that every girl faces: playing sports, graduating high school, choosing a college, her wedding day, and so on. She needed to know how to navigate growing up without a father.Adria came to understand that she was not alone - that there are other girls, in some cases grown women, trying to find their way without a dad. Whether your father is absent because of death, divorce, sickness, or abusewhether your father is emotionally unavailable or if you've just longed to know more intimately the embrace of your loving heavenly Father-this is her letter to you.

It all started March 6, 2012, as author Gina Davis sent her two children off to school-nine-year-old Eli and seven-year-old Elisha. Eli had a small cough, but not enough to concern his mother. But that symptom was just the beginning of a long journey during which Davis would rely more than ever on her faith in God. In Hope Climbs, she recounts the days and nights as Eli battled a rare disease that doctors found hard to diagnose. This story journeys into the valley and gives insight into a mother's heart as she watches her son die before her eyes. She tells this story of a son's struggle to live and a mother's struggle to find hope. Hope Climbs chronicles an epic journey that goes to the bottom of the mountain and then shows the light that comes when Davis didn't give up, when she didn't quit, when she just kept climbing. www.hopeclimbs.com

As if you were opening a handmade card from a beloved sister, Letters to His Beloved, by author Alyssa Phillips, speaks to the depths of your heart. The words filling the pages offer a simple collection of letters written from the heart of a single girl who wants to extend the encouragement and truths she has been given. Some letters in this book were written in times of grief and sorrow. Others were penned in the moments of loneliness and longing all single girls experience in the quiet of this season of life. Each truth, insight, and encouragement is God-breathed. These letters come from God and spring from a fellow sister's experience and relationship with the one who calls her beloved. She shares them because she wants every single girl to know they are loved by God, and this season is not one to merely pass through, but to live abundantly in. Letters to His Beloved speaks to you for your good and for His glory.

Modern Day Pharisee was written to address the importance of doctrine concerning God's people and operation in the church. Issues examined include law versus grace, the defining and operation of religion in the world, God's view of religion, Satan's strategy against the church, rightly dividing God's word in context, exposing false doctrine, and emphasizing the correct doctrine of the sufficiency of Jesus Christ. Confusion and misunderstandings of God's word has led many believers to frustration and bondage. It has also increased self-reliance and self-righteousness amongst Christians. Highlighted issues concerning doctrine include salvation by faith alone versus faith with deeds, the purpose of the Ten Commandments, the Gentiles and Jews, why Paul contradicts Jesus and James, the role of the rapture, and modern day issues Christians face today that come from bad teaching. The Pharisee mentality has plagued the church and has been a misrepresentation of God. It has turned many away from the faith. The Modern Day Pharisee will help Christians understand their Bible better by seeing the scriptures through proper context. It will decrease the unnecessary weight and stress that has been placed upon the believer from wrong teaching. It will lead to a more peaceful and restful relationship with God.

This book is part of a three-part series on America as a Covenant Nation. This volume begins with the period in the early 1600s when two very different English societies were established in the New World, one in Virginia and one in New England. The Virginia society simply re-created the rigidly class-based feudal society of the times. The New England society was a most unusual democracy of social equals, covenanted to live under God's-not man's-personal rule. These two American social types would find themselves in rather constant struggle-as Americans found keeping covenant with God to be very difficult because of man's natural tendency to want to control life, including the lives of others. This volume will take the American narrative through the Christian "e;Great Awakening,"e; the War of Independence, the founding of a new American Republic, the early years of social spread across the continent, a "e;Second Great Awakening,"e; mounting tensions over the slavery issue, the American Civil War, and finally the period of Reconstruction afterward. This study goes deeply into social, political, and economic dynamics (a study in social power)-but also blends this analysis with an equally deep inquiry into the cultural-spiritual character of American society during these time periods and events.

If you've ever thought that the first five Books of the Bible aren't entirely relevant for Christians, think again. This book uncovers the extraordinary hidden treasures of the Torah that are the foundation to all that follows in the Word of God - and that still apply for Christians living today.Therefore, this book is for Christians who read the Old Testament and get 'stuck' in the do's and don'ts. We know that they are part of the Divinely inspired Bible, so what should we do with them? It is true that much of what we think of as 'Old Testament law' was meant for the Jewish people alone, who are called to obey the details spelled out through Moses. However, embedded within these Books are patterns, principles and pictures that the Torah Giver intended for all to follow. This book will help you discover them.
