So Long Insecurity
Beth Moore
We're insecure. You and me and every woman. Lately I've been real-zing more and more that chronic insecurity is a cultural epidemic, but almost no one
is talking about it. And it ticks me off. We're insecure about everything from our looks to our worth as women, from our relationships to our
futures, and everything else in between. You name it, and we're probably insecure about it. Let's be honest here. Insecurity makes us miserable. It
cripples us. It makes fools of us. It makes us feel worthless. Insecurity has been a bad friend to us. The bottom line is that it's self-sabotage.
Girlfriend, listen to me. Our insecurities are lying to us. It doesn't have to be this way. It's time to say, "So long!" to insecurity. How? First we
have to understand it, and the good news is that insecurity is understandable. The even better news is that insecurity is curable. It's time we girls
help each other out so we can be the best wives, mothers, sisters, daughters, and friends that we can possibly be. Let's have a chat, you and me,
through these pages. I'd be honored if you'd join me on my quest for real, lasting, soul-deep security.

Why I Stayed
Gayle Haggard
GAYLE HAGGARD never imagined she would be reading these headlines about her husband, Ted. She couldn't believe her ears when she heard a man on the
radio accuse Ted of using illegal drugs and having a three-year homosexual affair with him. It was inconceivable. Ted Haggard was the senior pastor
of the 14,000-member New Life Church and the highly regarded president of the National Association of Evangelicals. More importantly, he was Gayle's
loving husband of twenty-eight years, a devoted father to their five children, her closest friend, and a man she knew fully. At least, she thought
she knew him fully. But when Ted told Gayle that parts of the allegations were true, her world shattered. Suddenly, everything in her life was at
stake, her beliefs, her marriage, her family and friends, and her ministry. What has happened since then is nothing short of astonishing.

When Life Is Hard

In the midst of the storm it's tough to remember when you first heard thunder. Some years ago my wife and I sailed into a series of trials that
increased from gentle breezes to a Category 5 hurricane. At the time I wondered what God's purpose could possibly be in making life so hard. How do
we make sense of suffering? All I knew was that I had to find out. I needed help and 1 needed it fast, so I searched God's Word, not as an academic
exercise, but as a desperate soul crying out for help. What he gave me during those weeks has changed my life, and you now hold the written record of
it in your hands. If life has been hard for you, you're in the right place. I'm eager to share with you what God revealed to me through His Word.

Isn't it true that we long to see the extraordinary, experience the extraordinary, do the extraordinary? Yet, so often we settle for mediocrity when
greatness is within our grasp. Why are we drawn to stories of heroic triumph over seemingly impossible circumstances? In our fascination with
adventure movies, superheroes, and tales of incredible human feats, do we reveal an inherent desire for something larger and greater in life? Maybe
what we think is a need to escape or be entertained is actually a God-inspired longing...for the extraordinary. Best-selling author John Bevere
reveals how all of us were "meant for more," extraordinarily created and intended for a life that is anything but ordinary Here is the roadmap for
your journey of transformation. You are marked for a life that far surpasses the usual definitions of success or fulfillment.

If God Is Good
Randy Alcorn
Every one of us will experience suffering. Many of us are experiencing it now. As we have seen in recent years, evil is real in our world, present and
close to each one of us. In such difficult times, suffering and evil beg questions about God. Why would an all-good and all-powerful God create a
world full of evil and suffering? And then, how can there be a God if suffering and evil exist? These are ancient questions, but also modern ones as
well. Atheists such as Richard Dawkins, Christopher Hitchens, and even former believers like Bart Ehrman-answer the question simply: The existence of
suffering and evil proves there is no God. In this captivating new book, best-selling author Randy Alcorn challenges the logic of disbelief and
brings a fresh, realistic, and thoroughly biblical perspective to the issues these important questions raise. Alcorn offers insights from his
conversations with men and women whose lives have been torn apart by suffering, and yet whose faith in God burns brighter than ever. He reveals the
big picture of who God is and what God is doing in the world, now and forever. And he equips you to share your faith more clearly and genuinely in
this world of pain and fear. Randy Alcorn delves deep into a profound subject, and through compelling stories, provocative questions and answers, and
keen biblical understanding, he brings assurance and hope to all.

Voices of the Faithful

"Before I clearly knew who Jesus was, says best-selling author and Bible teacher Beth Moore,"I knew there were people willing to go anywhere and do
anything to tell people about Him. Jesus, must be something, I mused. And He was" How about you? Does your life make others think He's something

The Jesus You Can't Ignore
John MacArthur
"What you think of Jesus will thoroughly color how you think about everything else," writes John MacArthur. This is a critical truth in the life of
every believer. Our view of Jesus affects the way we view God, the world, ourselves, and every one of our decisions. These days, Jesus is often
portrayed as a pacifist, a philanthropist, or a docile teacher. He strikes a plastic, and sometimes pathetic, pose in the minds of many. Some prefer
the meek and mild Jesus who heals the sick, calms fears, and speaks of peace and goodwill. These things do represent a portion of the Messiah. But
tragically, too many have never been exposed to the rest of him. They have never seen a full 360-degree view of the Savior. Until now. Like an
investigative journalist on a mission, best-selling author and teacher John MacArthur walks through the gospel records and shows you a remarkable and
compelling picture of the Jesus you can't ignore.

Fathered By God
John Eldredge
THERE is A PATH leading to authentic manhood, cut by men who have gone before us, sons following in the footsteps of their fathers, generation after
generation. There are perils along the trail, even disasters, all the more reason to rely on the guidance of a Father who has gone before. But in an
age when true fathers are in short supply, how do you find the path to manhood? How do you steer clear of the dangers? John Eldredge calls men back
to a simple and reassuring truth: God is our Father. In life's trials and triumphs. God is initiating boys and men through the stages of manhood from
Beloved Son to Cowboy to Warrior to Lover to King to Sage. Fathered by God maps out the path of manhood, not more rules, not another list of
principles, not formulas, but a sure path men have followed for centuries before us. Find that path and become the man God sees in you.

A Lifetime Of Wisdom
Joni Eareckson Tada
I was only seventeen, just a girl, when God asked me for everything I had ... my health, my hopes, my independence, my dreams, my freedom, and my
mobility. He took it all. I was so angry with Him that I tried to push Him away. God relentlessly held me more closely. Looking back, forty years
later, I understand that God has changed and healed me, my heart and my mind, in the most unexpected ways, giving me rubies of His wisdom about an
unbending faith and an experience of His mercy I can now tell you about. Was it a fair exchange, my freedom and no wheelchair for the rubies of
wisdom I've been given? Absolutely. In this I have learned at the feet of the Lord Jesus, embracing the way God heals us, even when we rage at Him
in anger, fear, and despair. This book is not about what I lost in a diving accident so long ago. It's about the wisdom He has given me to live
victoriously in the face of disappointments and challenges we all face.

before marriage. She wanted to be more than just a society wife. Though she had plenty of opportunities back East, she had come to the Idaho high
country looking to make a difference. Gavin's resistance to her presence made her even more determined to prove herself. Perhaps changing the heart
of one man might make the greatest difference of all.

Sarah Palin: A New Kind Of Leader
Joe Hilley
OUR PRESENT ERA DEMANDS A NEW STYLE OF leadership that transcends political affiliation and party lines. In an age
that values relationship over authority and instant information over accuracy, breadth of knowledge and depth of

moral center are just two of the leadership traits that have allowed Palin to organize and focus her efforts in
elected office. Exploring themes from her career in politics, her life as a hockey mom, and her strongly held
Christian faith, author Joseph Hilley's biographical leadership study of Sarah Palin explores the leadership

leadership that will guide our nation through the twenty-first century.

Countdown to the Apocalypse
Grant Jeffrey
A number of prophets had a glimpse of the future, but God gave only one prophet a precise calendar of the end-times
events that will affect the current generation. Writing more than 2,500 years ago, Daniel described a series of
cataclysmic events and the signs that will precede the end times. According to prophecy expert Grant R. Jeffrey,
many of the signs that Daniel pointed to are visible in our world today. Daniel's vision reveals startling details
about the identity of the coming Antichrist, his political career, his death, and his satanic resurrection. After
completing an exhaustive study of Daniel's prophecies, Dr. Jeffrey presents a detailed description of the
Antichrist's rise as world dictator, the mark of the beast, and the political maneuvering that will set the stage for
global government. In light of the Hebrew calendar, Dr. Jeffrey uncovered a timeline for the Antichrist's rise to
power, the major events of the Tribulation, and the timing of the Battle of Armageddon. God allowed Daniel to see
the world we will soon live in as we approach the time for the return of the Messiah. Now you can learn exactly what
Daniel knew.

Jesus Wants To Save Christians
Rob Bell and Don Golden
There is a church in our area that recently added an addition to their building which cost more than $20 million. Our
Local newspaper ran a front-page story not too long ago revealing that one in five people in our city lives in
poverty. This is a book about those two numbers. It's a book about faith and fear, wealth and war, poverty, power,
safety, terror, Bibles, bombs, and homeland insecurity; it's about empty empires and the truth that everybody's a
priest; it's about oppression, occupation, and what happens when Christians support, animate, and participate in the
very things Jesus came to set people free from.

Faith & Doubt
John Ortberg
You long to live with certainty, to know without a doubt that you've bet your life on the truth and that no surprises
await you on the other side of eternity. Even those known for their deep faith, people like Billy Graham, Martin
Luther, and Mother Teresa, have wrestled with unanswerable and often painful questions. John Ortberg takes an honest
look at the misgivings and uncertainties that often obscure our view of God. He candidly describes grappling with his
own personal doubts as well as walking with others through the faith-shaking storms of life. Then he reveals how we
can celebrate the gift of uncertainty as we allow the right kinds of doubt to actually deepen our faith and intimacy
with God. "Doubt can motivate us to study and learn," Ortberg writes. "It can purify false beliefs that have crept
into our faith. It can humble our arrogance. It can give us patience and compassion with other doubters. It can
remind us of how much truth matters."

Start Your New Life Today
Joyce Meyer
Do you find yourself asking, Isn't there more to life than what I'm living? Do you sometimes wish you could start
over, find a new way of doing things? The good news is God is waiting and ready to give you just that. If you're
tired of the same old routine, resulting in the same dissatisfactions and frustrations, it's time to try a new
approach for living, one that resets priorities and readjusts your focus. Beginning with the decision to accept
Christ, Joyce explains the life-changing impact that comes from knowing God in the most personal way possible. She
walks us through what makes each of us unique creations as tripart beings, with spirit, soul, and body, and how God
relates to us in all three areas. Joyce demonstrates the importance of each part aligning to serve God fully and
helps us avoid pitfalls that keep us from being our best. 'Are you tired of living the way you are living? Are you
tired of going through life feeling bad about yourself all the time? Are you tired of making decisions you know are
wrong and then feeling guilty about those decisions? Do you want to find the fulfillment you are missing? You may be
tired of wondering what will happen to you in the future or of being afraid of dying. The good news is Jesus has
peace for you." Let this book be the first step in changing the things that don't work in order to realize the
fullness of what it means to be a child of God.

Choosing Forgiveness
Nancy Leigh DeMoss
Perhaps you still remember the moment, the time of day, the look in the other person's eye, when you were hurt. When
your hopes and dreams were damaged by someone you trusted. And since then your life has been put on hold, sabotaged
by harbored resentment, dreams of revenge, or perhaps indifference and numbness. Or it maybe just the "stuff" of every
day life and relationships that has left you with a knot in your stomach and a dull ache in your heart. There are no
magic words or secret formulas for forgiveness. But there are biblical principles that can help you break free from
bitterness and pain. In Choosing Forgiveness, celebrated teacher Nancy Leigh DeMoss delves into God's Word to uncover
the promises and expose the myths of forgiveness. Discover specific strategies for putting God's grace and mercy into
practice-forgiving others as God has forgiven you.

Lord, Change My Attitude
James MacDonald
"You can stop the flow of negativity that causes happiness to hemorrhage, and you can start the flow of good attitudes
that cause abundant joy to flourish,'' MacDonald writes in his refreshing book Lord, Change My Attitude. Attitudes,
says author and pastor James MacDonald, are patterns of thinking that take years to form. While we can't change our
attitudes overnight, we can recognize wrong attitudes and begin working on right attitudes to take their place. No
one says it will be easy. But it could save your life.

The Secret To True Happiness
Joyce Meyer
I am convinced one of the most important lessons we can ever learn is to choose to be happy every day of our lives as
we look forward to the future. One of my greatest desires is to see people thoroughly enjoy the quality of life Jesus
died to give us, to actually be happy. Not just to read about it or talk about it, but to walk in it and experience
true happiness as a daily reality. I have come to believe that people desperately want to enjoy their lives, to live
every day with peace, contentment, and joy, which I like to define as "anything from extreme hilarity to calm delight.
" What about you? Are you enjoying today as you look toward tomorrow? Are you generally happy, content, and satisfied
with who you are and what you do each day? Do you take time to notice and appreciate the everyday experiences that
make life rich and rewarding? Or do you race through each day so you can get to the next one? Do you take breaks and
find things to laugh about on a regular basis, or do you allow the pressure of your responsibilities to carve a frown
on your face as you keep your nose to the grindstone? My desire in this book is to share with you some of the truths
I've learned about THE SECRET TO TRUE HAPPINESS. As you read them and apply them to your life, don't be surprised if
you find yourself enjoying your life in ways you never dreamed possible. That's my prayer for you today.

Ancient Practices Series
Brian McLaren
Most of us suffer from spiritual disorientation. Our souls are untended. And in this fragmented world, a soul left
untended quickly loses direction. It forgets itself and becomes an insubstantial thing, disoriented and unavailable
to the truth. And neither scientific secularism nor religious fundamentalism nor vague spiritualities have been able
to offer any real answers. That's why a growing number of Christians are turning to early spiritual practices as a
means of tending their souls. For centuries, believers have eagerly submitted to disciplines such as fixed-hour
prayer, fasting, sacred meals, observing the Sabbath, or pilgrimage to create an everyday sacredness, a spiritual
rhythm for living within the well-worn grooves of workaday life. In Finding Our WayAgain, Brian McLaren serves as
guide to a wide variety of these disciplines, showing how they form character, awaken us to life, and help us to
experience God, and each other, in new and fresh ways.

effort. He is known as the Bug Man for his knowledge of insects and what they can reveal about the dead. The
government's mandate is clear, rescue the living first, recover the dead later. But something is very wrong in the
toxic soup-bowl of post-Katrina New Orleans. Something beyond the headline-making misery of a drowning city.
Something that began before the winds blew and the levees started to crumble. Someone is using the cover of a
disaster to kill....hiding the victims of murder in the same watery grave as the victims of Katrina. It's a tale
only the dead can tell. But no one besides the Bug Man is listening.

A Time To Mend
A Safe Harbor Novel
Sally John & Gary Smalley
Max and Claire Beaumont seem to have the perfect marriage. They live in a beautiful home, have four wonderful children
and everything else that success and money can buy. Yet beneath this picture-perfect exterior, Claire's life is
falling apart. She can no longer hold her peace and keep up appearances. After all the silent years, she must speak
the truth. As their lives unravel, deep needs and even deeper hurts are revealed. Not only the wounds between husband
and wife, but family wounds as well. Will this time of soul-searching and conflict bring them closer together, or
tear their marriage apart? It's a strange irony to leave home in search of a safe harbor. Yet that is often where the
journey begins ... especially when it is time to mend.
