Let the simplicity of the Amish draw you closer to God. In this instantly connected world, it''s surprisingly easy to lose our connection to God. What''s admirable about the Amish lifestyle is that it intentionally slows the pace of life so there''s an opportunity to see the everyday grandeur of our great God. Not everyone can--or should--adopt an Amish lifestyle. But the Amish can inspire all of us to slow down and simplify our lives. We need to learn to let go of our glittering gadgets in order to grab hold of something of infinitely greater value--the Divine. The One Year Book of Amish Peace will inspire you to set a sustainable pace of life so that you, too, can take the time to enjoy God''s gifts each and every day.

Since the tragic death of her best friend, she carries her memories in a jar along with the small items connected to them. For just as long, she’s also been carrying around her emotions instead of allowing them to penetrate deep into her heart. Now she’s met a kind and gentle man who may be able to break down the wall. But can Sarah risk her heart to finally achieve her dreams?

Have you ever thought about praying for your future husband? Will it make a difference? There''s only one way to find out… From when we were small girls, most of us dream of “The One,” our future husband. We think about what it would be like to be a bride.

In Praying for Your Future Husband, Robin and Tricia share their two vastly different experiences, including the things they did right and the mistakes they made on the path to meeting and marrying their husbands. Each chapter includes helpful Bible verses, prayers, and practical application, along with true stories of women who prayed for a husband and how God answered in remarkable ways.

Uitleg door de Amerikaanse evangelist van een passage uit het evangelie van Johannes. Voor jongeren vanaf ca. 16 jaar.

Using the metaphor of screenwriting, My Life, Unscripted explores relationships in every teenage girl''s life-with herself, her friends and enemies, her parents, guys, and with God. Real-life scripts, screenwriting terms, and timely topics, make this an interesting read for teen girls as they delve into their own inner struggles and outward relationships. They''ll also learn the importance of "scripting" their own responses BEFORE challenging life-situations arise so they are able to think about, pray about, and consider how to face these situations before the scene begins. By contrasting real-life with TV or movies, teens will understand they don''t have to get caught up in the drama.

Speaking as a Gen-Xer herself, Goyer explores ways to protect a marriage despite the broken relationships of previous generations and offers practical helps for negotiating kids, work, sex, money, and laundry--sometimes all in the same evening.
