Says author Pitre, I want to show you how receiving Christ stamps His DNA on your very soul and gives you His life-changing characteristics.
Take undersized five-year-old farm girl Elinor, give her the polio that not only cripples her but also nearly kills her, then give her an impossible dream. In her childhood and again as a college student she rebels against the plan. Finally, she embraces the dream, and it leads Elinor to one of the most primitive, rugged places on earth and to a life that brawny international explorers would envy.
For nearly eighteen years Elinor deals with murdering tribal people, a devastating earthquake and the relief efforts that follow, joys, triumphs, depression, peace, life-threatening illnesses, recovery, and friendship with the Kimyal tribal people, whom she comes to deeply respect and love. The Kimyal people give her the name Bad Legs, which to them reflects how her weak body shows them God's love. Finally, the late effects of Elinor's original polio force her to leave the place and people that her heart has embraced. She must find a way to say goodbye.
In typical Kimyal fashion, Elinor tells a story to picture a profound truth: our weaknesses can be the conduit of strength beyond our own.

This is a book for the humble. It is for those who recognize they are broken and in need of a Savior who has the power to renew them day by day.
Compiled from fourteen years of his prayer journals, Stephen Van Zant shares a year's worth of daily devotions inspired by God Calling, a work written anonymously by the Two Listeners in the 1930s. First drawn to faith by its simple messages, the book led him to the spiritual discipline of quiet listening. When he and his wife began to practice this two-way prayer in their own quiet times, they found an added sense of joy, peace, and insight in their morning devotions.
I do not claim to be an expert in any matters of faith, but it is my great pleasure to sit with the Lord each morning and allow Him to change me. The more meaningful of my journal entries are from when I experienced the greatest struggles. I have had my fair share of problems and personal trials through twenty-six years of marriage, raising four children, family health issues, practicing law, and experiencing a business failure. This devotional reveals my daily search for peace and joy.
The Jesus who spoke still speaks if we will take the time to listen.
Layer by layer My Will is revealed to you. Your part is to rejoice along the way. Relax Heaven is calling you each day. My lessons for you are simple: live each day with Me and allow Me to heal you and give you instructions for the day.
Have you lost someone--or something--dear to you?
At some point, whether through the loss of a friend or family member, a decline in health, or the end of a career or a relationship, everyone will encounter grief. After nearly twenty-five years in the mental health field, author and licensed professional counselor Katherine B. Barner is well-acquainted with the ways grief can impact a life.
While grief is unavoidable, it is also a valuable aspect of the human experience. Utilizing Biblical examples of human grief--and God's acceptance of its complicated rawness--Barner demonstrates how a person's response to loss does not indicate a lack of faith but testifies instead to their humanity and the life-affirming choice to love and be loved. Filled with practical tips for handling loss and avoiding contention with those who lack compassion or grieve differently, this valuable resource includes a section dedicated to navigating holidays and events while grieving.
Crafting this guide from her professional experience as well as from lessons learned during her own seasons of mourning, Barner offers compassion and guidance to those suffering a loss.
Designed not only to assist readers through the process of grief but to grant them permission to fully experience it, God Help Me, I'm Grieving validates each reader's unique response to loss, allowing it to become a vehicle of inner change and spiritual and emotional growth.
Perhaps you're holding this book, thinking, I don't need more sadness in my life. I get it. But this book doesn't focus on sadness. It focuses on hope and comfort, strength, and peace.
-Steve Engram, senior pastor, Desert Springs Community Church in Goodyear, Arizona
You may have lost your husband suddenly, had only a few months to say goodbye, or were a caregiver for several years. And most widows don't have capacity for a book about moving through the trenches of grief or grappling with day-to-day life. That's why this mother-daughter author team chose to write short bite-sized devotions of hope from their own journeys through grief.
Daughter Lori's husband of twenty-one years died of a neurological disorder, and mother Sharon's husband of sixty years passed away from an unexpected aggressive cancer. Both women understand grief, and they extend warm, comforting words of love from Jesus to other widows in their times of deep loss. With each tender devotion and enough space for journaling your thoughts, their messages will help you:
In Surviving Widowhood: 40 Devotions of Hope, your grieving heart will be comforted, your tears will be seen, and your soul will be nourished.

In a world that often experiences natural and physical catastrophes, ready support is widely available to meet the tangible needs of the affected individuals. But what about the intangible, deep needs of those who serve people in communities struck by disasters-the volunteers on deployment? After day-in-and-day-out efforts are expended for the people they minister to, team members often feel drained to the point of physical, mental, and spiritual exhaustion.
To fill the gap in the lack of resources available for disaster relief chaplains, Chaplain James (Jim) R. Ellsworth offers 50 Devotionals for Disaster Relief Chaplains during Deployment to
- meet the spiritual and emotional needs of the volunteers;
- show that God has a purpose for their lives in being a disaster relief volunteer;
- empower volunteers to find peace and joy while on short- or long-term deployment.
Written with the heart of a seasoned chaplain for chaplains, Jim explores the timeless truths of God's Word as it relates to disaster relief and those helping their neighbors recover from unforeseen traumatic events.

The loss of a loved one can change our lives forever.
Healing from the pain of losing a loved one doesn't happen overnight. Each day can be a battle to keep unpredictable emotions under control-especially around holidays like Thanksgiving and Christmas, which can bring losses into full focus. Traditions and expectations often add more stress to an already grieving heart. Even simple tasks, such as walking through a store during the holidays, can surface memories that turn on emotions like a light switch. Finding joy may seem impossible.
Janet Johnson knows. She lost a brother to murder, a son to a car accident, and a brother-in-law to suicide. She has experienced firsthand how the holidays have a peculiar way of activating emotions-and why it's important to process those emotions, not ignore them.
In Surviving the Holidays While Grieving, Janet comes alongside readers who have lost a loved one or are journeying with someone dealing with grief. With tenderness and compassion, she offers ideas for managing emotions, hands-on activities for expressing feelings in tangible ways, and tips for communicating those feelings to others. Readers will be encouraged to remember meaningful traditions and create new memories about their loved ones with others.
Through the pages of this tenderly composed book written from a Christian perspective, readers will find hope for healing and a toolkit for taking steps forward with joy.

Have you ever asked yourself Why did I say that? What was I thinking? Those harsh, insensitive words have landed in someone's heart, hurting them deeply. You are embarrassed and ashamed. You can't retract them any more than you can put toothpaste back in the tube. Words have power . . . but the power of the tongue can be tamed and harnessed.
The book of Proverbs instructs us to seek God's wisdom in what we speak and how we live. Learn to grow in wisdom, allowing it to transform your life and conversations, through this eight-session interactive Bible study focusing on the impact of our words.
Using a personal incident in her own life, Dyann Shepard shares how God healed a deep wound from her past, softened her hardened heart, and restored her soul. Yielding to the Holy Spirit brought her to a new place of inner transformation and freedom. Explore ways to heal and uplift, rather than harm and crush others, through this study. This journey is like peeling an onion, layer by layer, and sometimes through tears. It requires prayer, commitment, and daily surrendering to the Holy Spirit. Suitable for groups or individuals.
A mental and physical health crisis left a pastor's wife exhausted, desperate, and feeling disqualified for service. Cheryl needed a place of rest from her striving for the approval of others. As she laid down her burden of people pleasing, she found her security and significance in God.
How does a mother who put her entire identity into her baby the moment she came into the world find herself again when, years later, her grown child cuts all ties?
Michelle Rohlf's unwanted estrangement from her daughter Naomi strips her of everything . . . her grandchildren, her peace of mind, and most of all, herself. In spite of her broken heart and broken spirit, she embarks on a three-year journey of healing and forgiveness, discovering the impact her own upbringing had on her attachment to her daughter. But just asMichelle learns that her life isn't over because her daughter walked away, Naomi shows up again, without apology or explanation.
Much to Michelle's surprise, this reappearance challenges her own recovery from codependency. She finds herself in a struggle to hold on to the sense of self she fought so hard to gain. This is the story of a woman who had to lose her daughter in order to find the identity she'd never really had.
If you are a parent who has become estranged from your child, there is hope. You are not alone in this journey of rejection. The first step toward healing is to work on yourself. Find your own life apart from your child, because you are valuable and the world needs you.
