  Have you ever tried to fight worry with faith and felt you were losing the battle? Whether it's personal worries about loved ones and daily circumstances or broader concerns about what's happening in the world, we long for something more than platitudes that will help us put real feet to our faith and win the worry battle. 
   
   
   
  Many Christians do not have a full understanding of what it means to fight the good fight of faith. They try to live by faith but in the face of everyday trials and failures, they find themselves disillusioned and discouraged, wondering if they have done something wrong or if living by faith only works for others. The problem for most is simply a lack of understanding regarding what faith is and how it works. 
   
   
   
  This book, inspired by the Book of Joshua, reviews three steps a person can take to Fight In Faith: 1) embrace God's promises, 2) steep your heart in courage, and 3) act in obedience to God's commands. 
   
   
   
  Following the footprints of bold, courageous faith that God gave His people, we'll be equipped with tools to bravely fight in faith and overcome both our daily struggles and the bigger battles we all face.

  The Seamstress of Acadie - A Novel

  In a land torn apart by conflict, can love mend the tattered pieces? 
   
  As 1754 is drawing to a close, tensions between the French and the British on Canada's Acadian shore are reaching a fever pitch. Seamstress Sylvie Galant and her family--French-speaking Acadians wishing to remain neutral--are caught in the middle, their land positioned between two forts flying rival flags. Amid preparations for the celebration of Noël, the talk is of unrest, coming war, and William Blackburn, the British Army Ranger raising havoc across North America's borderlands. 
   
  As summer takes hold in 1755 and British ships appear on the horizon, Sylvie encounters Blackburn, who warns her of the coming invasion. Rather than participate in the forced removal of the Acadians from their land, he resigns his commission. But that cannot save Sylvie or her kin. Relocated on a ramshackle ship to Virginia, Sylvie struggles to pick up the pieces of her life. When her path crosses once more with William's, they must work through the complex tangle of their shared, shattered past to navigate the present and forge an enduring future. 
   
  "Frantz is a wordsmith extraordinaire who makes readers care about little-known episodes of history through her characters. This is one of her best novels yet."--Library Journal 
   
  "Frantz's atmospheric writing is easy to sink into. Her fans won't be disappointed."--Publishers Weekly 
   
  "Frantz meticulously captures the violation of being forced from one's homeland in heartbreaking historical detail and crafts remarkable characters who are refined by trials and redeemed by choices."--Booklist

  Holy Envy - Finding God in the...

  The renowned and beloved New York Times bestselling author of An Altar in the World and Learning to Walk in the Dark recounts her moving discoveries of finding the sacred in unexpected places while teaching the world’s religions to undergraduates in rural Georgia, revealing how God delights in confounding our expectations. 
  Barbara Brown Taylor continues her spiritual journey begun in Leaving Church of finding out what the world looks like after taking off her clergy collar. In Holy Envy, she contemplates the myriad ways other people and traditions encounter the Transcendent, both by digging deeper into those traditions herself and by seeing them through her students’ eyes as she sets off with them on field trips to monasteries, temples, and mosques. 
  Troubled and inspired by what she learns, Taylor returns to her own tradition for guidance, finding new meaning in old teachings that have too often been used to exclude religious strangers instead of embracing the divine challenges they present. Re-imagining some central stories from the religion she knows best, she takes heart in how often God chooses outsiders to teach insiders how out-of-bounds God really is. 
  Throughout Holy Envy, Taylor weaves together stories from the classroom with reflections on how her own spiritual journey has been complicated and renewed by connecting with people of other traditions—even those whose truths are quite different from hers.  The one constant in her odyssey is the sense that God is the one calling her to disown her version of God—a change that ultimately enriches her faith in other human beings and in God.

  Bricks that Build Us Book 2 -...

  Since you recognize that things are going dangerously wrong both worldwide and on our streets, this is a series of four short books for you. They develop the calling for immediate action with many of the avoidable causes identified, listed and remedies stated clearly all in 'crystal clear' language. Now is the time to push back and protect our loved ones, our young, those who are vulnerable and all our futures. Later may well be too late. For many thinking people there is a well-founded and growing disquiet about where our world is going. Undeniably we observe that wasteful preoccupation with owning things which has replaced family values, sound reason, decency and necessary self-discipline for far too many. The me-first society focuses upon personal gratification while rejecting the more central need to think and work together to maintain our community and social family. Discarded is the we-first, polite and supportive normality of quieter times, led now by the shallow, self-interested more grotesque ideas, ideals and human actors. Through this storm of mediocracy and shallow existence can be heard the tramping of media moguls, the infected internet and dead actors of artificial "intelligence", cold scam 'phone callers that daily threaten our loved ones and us. We must most urgently identify our enemies with their manipulative control methods and develop effective counterarguments with successful countermeasures. Unified, self-disciplined, clarified actions, focused on restoring our interdependent caring communities, can and will successfully rebuild common sense and social sanity one brick at a time.
