 When Life and Beliefs Collide: How Knowing God Makes a DifferenceBy Carolyn Custis James / Zondervan Sooner or later, life's difficulties bring every Christian woman to God's doorstep with questions too personal to ignore. "Why does God let me go through such painful circumstances?" "Why does he seem indifferent to my prayers?" We're tired of spiritual pie in the sky. We want authentic, God-as-he-really-is faith---the kind that holds us together when our world is falling apart and equips us to offer strength and hope to others. When Life and Beliefs Collide raises a long-overdue call for us to think seriously about what we believe about God. With passion, brilliance, and eloquence, Carolyn Custis James weaves stories of contemporary women with episodes from the life of Mary of Bethany to illustrate the practical benefits of knowing God deeply.

For The Familys SakeBy Susan Schaeffer Macaulay / Crossway Books & Bibles
For many of us, the word home brings warm thoughts and happy memories-far more than the dictionary's simple definitions of "a place of birth or one's living quarters." It is the secure environment that allows our hearts to develop. A haven of growth, quiet and rest. The place where we love and are loved. Sadly, though, this kind of home is beginning to disappear as our busy society turns homes into houses where related people abide, but where there is no "heart." With Jesus Christ as the foundation, using tools such as commmon sense, realism and traditions, you can build a secure living environment where every member of your family can flourish.
