Synopsis

Why slowing down is the secret to spiritual strength 
 
In our fast-paced world of outrageous headlines and knee-jerk reactions, we struggle to hear God's voice amid the noise. Despite constant connectivity, our lives lack true spiritual connection and depth. 
 
A. J. Swoboda and Nijay Gupta offer a practical theology guide for building resilient faith through Christian discipleship. Addressing spiritual deconstruction and doubt with honesty, they show how to fortify your faith against cultural challenges through eight transformative spiritual practices, including 
 
● taking your time in prayer and Bible study, 
● building patience for your spiritual journey and faith formation, 
● slowing down your thinking and decision-making process, 
● finding peace with unanswered questions rather than demanding easy solutions, and 
● facing spiritual difficulties head-on instead of avoiding them. 
 
This Christian living book helps weary believers reconnect with God and neighbor through intentional spiritual growth. With a foreword by Glenn Packiam, it's perfect for devotional reading, small group study, or anyone seeking authentic faith formation.
Disponible depuis: 23/09/2025.

    It all starts with a murder… 
    When Lacey unexpectedly inherits the Monterossa family mansion from her grandmother, she and her friend Daisy turn it into a tea room and inn. Two months after opening the inn, an older gentleman guest is found murdered in his guestroom. 
    The same day Max Castleton is murdered, Lacey’s high school sweetheart returns to town after breaking her heart at graduation. Heath is a beautiful, broken ex-baseball player, and while she wants to hate him, her heart remembers years of friendship and can’t quite close the door on him. 
    The murder and the need to raise funds for the inn bring the pair together, along with Lacey’s friends, members of the Straw Hats and Old Lace club Lacey founded in high school, a group of ladies who long for beauty, peace, and romance in their lives, a club Heath has never understood. 
    But only if the pair leaves the past and moves into the present can the inn succeed and a murderer be brought to justice. 
    Straw Hats and Old Lace is book one of the contemporary Christian romance series of novellas by the same name.

    She knows what it is to live in a body that is unraveling, a world that doesn't understand, and a church that doesn't always know what to say.

    Learning to live with this disability, as well as the loss and pain that comes with it, has been one of her greatest struggles as well as the way in which God is building her strength. But Sydney doesn't just talk about disability—she lives with it, coaches on it, and laughs through it, inviting her readers to join her journey. Fearfully and Wonderfully Broken aims to:discover practical strategies for coping with chronic struggles and limitations;make peace with questions and embrace the daily fight for faith;uncover strength in weakness and dignity in dependence; andreceive heartfelt hope and encouragement to keep going—even when healing doesn't come. 
      
    Sydney will be your unafraid guide through whatever valley you are walking through, normalizing doubt and the daily fight for faith, and recognizing the presence of God there.

    As parents, we want to shape our children into emotionally mature and healthy human beings. But we cannot effectively shape our children's emotional well-being until we've addressed our own traumas and emotional needs. 
     
     
     
    In It Starts with You, marriage and family therapist and parent coach Nicole Schwarz offers a nonjudgmental, shame-free guide to parenting children with a calm confidence. Working from a place of grace and compassion, she encourages us to explore how our history, thoughts, and assumptions impact our parenting decisions. Moving away from traditional discipline strategies, Schwarz focuses on the importance of having a calm brain, connected relationships, respectful conversations, and a coaching mindset with our kids. 
     
     
     
    It Starts with You lays out a five-step process you can turn to whenever you're stuck in a difficult parenting situation. Each step is grounded in research and presented in a way that is easy to understand. Rather than adding unnecessary pressure, we learn that kids do not need perfect parents, but parents who are willing to learn, grow, and move forward with them in a positive direction.
