  Sara Hagerty masterfully draws from her own story of spiritual and physical barrenness to birth in listeners a new longing for God. With exquisite storytelling and reflection, Hagerty guides listeners to a tender place that God is holding just for them—a place where he shapes the bitterness of lost expectations into deep, new places of knowing Him. 
  In the age of fingertip access to answers and a limitless supply of ambitions, where do we find the God who was birthed in dirt and straw? Sara Hagerty found him when life stopped working for her. She found him when she was a young adult mired in spiritual busyness and when she was a new bride with doubts about whether her fledgling marriage would survive. She found him alone in the night as she cradled her longing for babies who did not come. She found him as she kissed the faces of children on another continent who had lived years without a mommy’s touch. 
  In Every Bitter Thing Is Sweet, Hagerty masterfully draws from the narrative of her life to craft a mosaic of a God who leans into broken stories. Here readers see a God who is present in every changing circumstance. Most significantly, they see a God who is present in every unchanging circumstance as well 
  Whatever lost expectations listeners are facing—in family, career, singleness, or marriage—Every Bitter Thing Is Sweet will bring them closer to a God who longs for them to know him more. What does it look like to know God’s nearness when life breaks? What does it mean to receive his life when earthly life remains barren? How can God turn the bitterness of unmet desire into new flavors of joy? 
  With exquisite storytelling and reflection, Hagerty brings listeners back to hope, back to healing, back to a place that God is holding for them alone—a place where the unseen is more real than what the eye can perceive. A place where every bitter thing is sweet.

  Malachi was a contemporary of Nehemiah. 
  Malachi was written to the Israelites who were allowed to return to Israel from the Babylonian captivity under the Decree of Cyrus. Malachi addresses some key factors in the lives of these exiles who had returned to their homeland. 
  The Priesthood had become corrupt. The people became discouraged and rebelled against the Law of YeHoVaH. The people lost faith in YeHoVaH's ways of living and felt that YeHoVaH was unjust. 
  The people became hearers, but not doers, and only went through the religious motions. Malachi was written to encourage the people, to give answers to the questions the people had, to promise them that YeHoVaH would return to them when they returned to Him, and to warn the Priests and the people of the dangers or curses they faced 
  if they did not return to YeHoVaH. 
  Malachi also announces the coming of John the Baptist and the coming of Messiah Yeshua.

  Fear is so much a part of the human experience that we may think there's no escape. Our own earthly solutions fall short, but God has offered us a better remedy: a spirit of "power and love and discipline" (2 Tim. 1:7 NASB) that can overcome fear of others, irrational fear, and sinful fear. Through short lessons and discussion questions, Wayne and Joshua Mack show how we can find true courage by fearing God and trusting in him alone. This book can be used for individual growth and development, for group study, or for homework assignments for those in counseling.

  In "Absolute Surrender," Andrew Murray explores the profound concept of surrendering fully to God's will and authority. Drawing from biblical teachings and personal insights, Murray presents a compelling argument for the transformative power of absolute surrender in the life of the believer.
  Murray begins by emphasizing the central importance of surrender in the Christian life, asserting that true spiritual growth and blessing are only possible when one relinquishes control and submits entirely to God. He explores the nature of surrender as an act of faith and obedience, rooted in a deep trust in God's goodness and sovereignty.
   Through compelling anecdotes and biblical examples, Murray illustrates the benefits of absolute surrender, including increased intimacy with God, freedom from anxiety and fear, and empowerment for effective service. He challenges readers to examine their own hearts and motives, identifying areas where they may be holding back from complete surrender to God. 
  With clarity and conviction, Murray outlines practical steps for achieving absolute surrender, including prayer, confession, and daily obedience to God's Word. He encourages readers to cultivate a spirit of humility and dependency on God, recognizing that true strength and victory come through yielding to His will. 
  "Absolute Surrender" is a timeless classic that continues to inspire and challenge readers to live lives of radical obedience and surrender to God. Murray's profound insights and practical wisdom offer a roadmap for experiencing the abundant life that comes from fully yielding to God's will and purposes.
