Sinopsis

Video games fuel a fundamental human drive for adventure and greatness—whether it’s an epic quest to slay zombies, a solo voyage to rescue the princess, or teaming up with a clan to defeat the final boss. But what if that same drive could shape more than just your gameplay—what if it could transform your whole life?In Gaming and the Heroic Life, Bobby Angel, a lifelong gamer and Catholic speaker, challenges readers to see gaming not just as entertainment, but as preparation for a real-life adventure in virtue, courage, and purpose.Drawing inspiration from Carlo Acutis—the first millennial saint who loved playing Halo, Super Mario, and Pokémon—Angel shows how gaming can train us to become saints in the digital age. This book is a map to becoming not only a better gamer but also a better person—someone who knows their purpose and identity as a child of God.The book contains three levels:Level One explores why people love games and what games have to do with God.Level Two examines how the Easter eggs of truth, beauty, and goodness in games impact players and how they reflect our relationship with God.Level Three demonstrates how gaming can propel players AFK (away from keyboard) to live courageously in service to others. With humor and heart, Angel shows how video games intersect with a life of faith in God—and how every gamer is called to holiness in both the virtual and real worlds.

    Written for readers age 10 and up -- enjoyed by adults!"Frank felt his heart beat fast. At that moment he was certain God was calling him, asking him to give up his ties to his homeland and set out across the Atlantic Ocean. He did not hesitate to stand when John Wesley asked preachers to walk forward if they felt God was calling them to the American colonies."One of the first Methodist bishops in America, English-born Francis Asbury devoted his life to ministry, traveling on horseback to preach and teach to those living on the vastly isolated American frontier. Alone in a new country, with no home of his own, Asbury rode over 300,000 miles -- across rivers and through rocky, overgrown roads -- shining God’s light on the fledgling colonies.When many Methodist clergy left America during the Revolutionary War, Asbury stayed. His tireless leadership saw the movement grow from 5,000 members in 1776 to 214,000 at the time of his death, fulfilling the great destiny of his call and inspiring future generations.

    "The Old Testament stories of David come to vibrant life in Brave. . . . Wonderful!"--Angela Hunt, Christy Award-winning author of The Emissaries 
     
    In the tumultuous world of ancient Israel, Ahinoam--a dagger-wielding Kenite woman--flees her family farm with her unconventional father to join the ragtag band of misfits led by the shepherd-turned-warrior David ben Jesse. As King Saul's treasonous accusations echo through the land, Ahinoam's conviction that David's anointing makes him Yahweh's chosen king propels her on a perilous journey to Moab and back into Judah's unforgiving wilderness, only to encounter more hardship and betrayal. 
     
    Amid the challenges, Ahinoam forges an unexpected bond with David's sister and gains respect among David's army through her knowledge of Kenite metalworking. Though some offer friendship, Ahinoam, scarred by past relationships, isolates to avoid more pain and refuses to acknowledge her growing feelings for the renegade king. As Ahinoam's heart grapples for footing, King Saul's army closes in, and Ahinoam must confront the true meaning of love, loyalty, and courage. Is she brave enough to trust new friends and love Israel's next king?

    Though the words "foster care" are not in the Bible, the act of caring for the vulnerable is clearly important to God. Perhaps nowhere is that kind of tender attention and care for the vulnerable more evident than in the act of fostering a child. But as foster parents pour themselves into the children God has called them to care for, they may find themselves feeling emptied, in need of being refreshed and reinvigorated for the day to come. 
     
     
     
    With sixty devotions written especially for foster parents by a foster parent, Filled offers a special boost of spiritual energy and encouragement particular to the unique joys and challenges faced by those who open their homes and hearts to kids in need of love. Each reading includes Scripture, a real-life anecdote from the author's experience as a foster parent, an explanation of the biblical text, and suggestions for continued reading.
