Elevate Your Every Day
In a world where workplaces are becoming increasingly diverse, Working for Better by Elaine Howard Ecklund and Denise Daniels offers a timely guide for Christians navigating the modern faith-at-work landscape. Drawing from over twenty years of research and personal insights, Working for Better presents a groundbreaking exploration of how to express Christian faith in professional settings without compromising beliefs or alienating others.
Through detailed studies involving focus groups, surveys of more than 15,000 workers, and interviews with over 300 individuals, Ecklund and Daniels identify five key tensions in the faith-at-work movement. With compelling stories and practical applications, Working for Better addresses the need for Christian workers and leaders to adapt to cultural shifts, offering guidance for a more redemptive presence at work. Each chapter concludes with thought-provoking questions for individual reflection or group discussion, making this book an essential resource for anyone seeking to integrate faith with their professional life. Whether you're a Christian worker, workplace leader, or pastor guiding others, Working for Better invites you to consider how to flourish in a rapidly changing world.
As workplaces continue to evolve, the ability to maintain one's spiritual values while contributing positively to the organizational culture becomes ever more crucial. Working for Better not only equips readers with the wisdom and tools needed to face such challenges but also inspires them to become agents of change, promoting a more inclusive and harmonious work environment.

    The Girl from Montego Bay is the autobiography of trailblazer Rose Hudson-Wilkin, Britain's first black woman bishop, who has been right at the heart of a changing nation for over forty years.As a student, Rose had a poster over her desk that read: 'Do not go where the path leads. Instead, go where there is no path and leave a trail.'And she does! Offering eye-opening insights into her humble and challenging beginnings in Jamaica, Rose charts her call to train as an evangelist at the Church Army College in London, where she met her future husband, Ken. Captivatingly open to the nudging of the Spirit, Rose simply has a go at everything that comes her way. The discrimination she's faced, due to her gender and minority-ethnic background, is very real. Yet Rose's infectious energy and humour shine through stories of her beloved Hackney, the ten years she ministered to (sometimes wayward) colleagues in Parliament, and her joy at playing a major role in the Coronation of King Charles and Queen Camilla in 2023.Rose discloses that if there's one thing she would like to see change in her lifetime, it's that accomplishments like hers stop being 'firsts' and simply become normal.Appointed MBE in the 2020 New Year Honors for 'services to young people and the Church', and listed in the 2020 and 2021 Power list of the 100 the most influential people in the UK of African/African-Caribbean descent, Rose discloses that if there’s one thing she would like to see change in her lifetime, it's that accomplishments like hers stop being 'firsts' and simply become normal.

    A case study written by Tom Armentrout on the truth surrounding a popular subject of the End Times events, the Rapture. The first installment of the “Whole Truth” series, intended to reveal the Truth written throughout Scripture. 
    After receiving what he believes to be a dream from the Lord that challenged his beliefs about Prophecy and the Rapture, he began to do a thorough investigation of Scripture for the truth about the Rapture and the End Times. With the Lord guiding him on this study, he is now convinced that Scripture paints a clear picture of the Truth about the Rapture and confirmed what the Lord showed him in his dream. To best present his research, this study is laid out in a complete series of questions covering all the important topics surrounding the Rapture. 
    There are ten major questions covered in this study to reveal the truth about the Rapture, and many other topics surrounding the Rapture, the End Times, and the warnings in Scripture about the Great Tribulation.

    Join Mary, Joseph, the shepherds and the angels as they celebrate the birth of Jesus. This fabulous book teaches young readers about Jesus’ birth and the real meaning of Christmas. “Happy Birthday, Jesus! We celebrate Your birth in the town of Bethlehem when You came down to earth. Your mother, Mary, held you. A manger was Your bed. The cows and sheep were quiet as she gently kissed Your head. Your father, Joseph, marveled. He knew You were the One. For God had sent a Savior—His one and only Son.  The shepherds had been watching their flocks that quiet night. When an angel appeared, they were terrified with fright. ‘Do not be afraid. For I bring to you good news: Today a Savior has been born!’ And then the shepherds knew. Happy Birthday, Jesus! We give You all the praise.  We celebrate Your birthday on this glorious Christmas day.”  Rhyming text coupled with gorgeous artwork will make this story a family favorite. Other titles in this series include: The Best Thing About Christmas, The Gift, and The Friendly Beasts.

    Everyone in Wilbeth Green has something to hide, but she's about to uncover their secrets. 
     
    1956: In a quiet English village, the smoldering ruins of Rosemont Abbey have set the residents' tongues wagging, and everyone is quick to accuse troublemaker Paul Everly of the crime of arson. Paul has vanished without a trace, leaving only his plucky twin sister, Louisa, certain of his innocence. Fueling her conviction is an inexplicable connection--she felt her twin's death an hour before the abbey went up in flames. 
     
    Armed with nothing but her wit and her keen sense of intuition, Louisa embarks on her own investigation, challenging the dubious townspeople and the disdain of her aunt and uncle. Even Inspector Malcolm Sinclair, once Paul's closest friend, warns Louisa to abandon her pursuit. But Louisa is determined to solve a murder no one else believes was committed, even if it means unraveling secrets that could shake Wilbeth Green to its core.
