  It began when a small group of believers stepped out in faith-against all odds-and claimed the Queen of Angels Hospital in downtown Los Angeles for the cause of Christ. Now 200 different ministries in the Los Angeles International Church reach out to thousands of residents. Innovative programs minister to AIDS victims, the homeless, battered women, drug and alcohol addicts, and abused children-offering hope and a chance for a better life. The Church That Never Sleeps shows how God can use this incredible ministry as a model to make dreams come true in neighborhoods across the nation.

  Be encouraged! You're already "doing it right" just by doing it. 
   
  · a must-have resource for parents who homeschool or who want to start 
  · from the founder of the 1000 Hours Outside Movement  
  · equips parents with the confidence and tools they need to give their children the education they dream of and deserve 
   
  During the past five years, homeschooling rates have been on the rise and show no signs of slowing. But many parents lack confidence, questioning whether they are doing it right (or whether they should take the plunge at all). With so many voices offering conflicting advice, it's hard to know where to start and where to go from there. 
   
  A homeschooling mother of five and founder of 1000 Hours Outside, Ginny Yurich draws from her years of experience and research, as well as her master's degree in education from the University of Michigan, to encourage and equip parents who want to give homeschooling a try or want to improve their experience.  
   
  Starting from the standpoint of "you're doing it right" instead of "you're doing it wrong," Ginny helps parents understand that just by choosing to homeschool they are 
  · learning through living 
  · allowing for individual timelines 
  · leaving space for boredom 
  · providing multiage experiences 
  · teaching self-reliance 
  · offering freedom 
  · slowing down 
  · and more 
   
  If you've been on the fence about homeschooling or wondering if you're doing it all wrong, let Ginny encourage you in all you've already accomplished and equip you for even greater things ahead.

  Follow the Activities of the...

  There are different thoughts, beliefs, and traditions for the timing of the death, burial and resurrection from the dead of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To come to the correct answer about this event, we must first disregard the traditions of man, and this also means the traditions of the church. 
  If we are going to get to the truth, then we must rely only on the word of God. His holy bible. The answer to this question is in the bible, it just needs you to follow the clues and believe what you read. 
  One point I found very interesting about this is that the women hold all the clues that will lead us to the correct conclusion on this matter. Yet in the days of Jesus Christ, they thought women to be a lower-class citizen and their testimonies held very little value in a court. This is much the same today in many countries around the world.  
  I believe God reveals the truth to us through the activities of the women. Follow their responses to what happened on that fateful day. Observe their obedience to the Sabbath commandments for both the weekly Sabbath, and the Sabbath marking the start of the feast of unleavened bread. God used these remarkable women to show us He does not regard our women as lower-class citizens, but sees us all as equals. Jesus had many women following him during his ministry, and most of them supported him financially, as some of them were wealthy women in their own right. Jesus never looked at women as being inferior, but saw all of his followers as brothers and sisters. 
  This most important day in all of our history has many parts to it, and the women hold the key to unlocking the truth about the day, and the time Jesus was both crucified and resurrected from the dead. Follow their story for yourself and uncover the lies many believe about our Lord’s final hours and his resurrection from the dead.

  A lost treasure. A riddled quest. The healing power of friendship. 
   
  Legends are tucked into every fold of the Colorado mountains surrounding the quaint town of Mercy Peak, where residents are the stuff of tall tales, the peaks are taller still, and a lost treasure has etched mystery into the very terrain. 
   
  In 1948, when outsider Mercy Windsor arrives after a scandal shatters her gilded world as Hollywood's beloved leading lady, she is determined to forge a new life in obscurity in this time-forgotten Colorado haven. She purchases Wildwood, an abandoned estate with a haunting history, and begins to restore it to its former glory. 
   
  But as she does, her every move tugs at the threads of the mountain's lore, unearthing what became of her long-lost pen pal Rusty Bright, and the whereabouts of the infamous Galloping Goose Railcar No. 8, which vanished years ago--along with the mailbag it carried, whose contents could change the course of countless lives. Not to mention the fabled treasure that--if found--could right so many wrongs. 
   
  Among the towering mountains that stand as silent witnesses, the ghosts of the past entangle with the courage of the present to find a place where healing, friendship, and hope can abide amid a world forever changed.

  The Sexual Reformation -...

  What does it mean to be a woman or a man created in the image of God? 
  Many Christians don't have a good grasp of what their sexuality means. Many women in the church don't feel like their contributions matter. 
  Why is this? 
  The church is sadly still confused about what it means to be a man or a woman. While secular society talks about sexuality in terms of liberation, many in the church define manhood and womanhood in terms of reductive roles that rob us of the dignity of personhood, created in the image of God. 
  In her poetic, theologically contemplative style, Aimee Byrd invites you to enter the rich treasure trove of the Song of Songs as its lyrics reveal how our very bodies are visible signs that tell us something about our God. This often-ignored biblical book has much to teach us about Christ, his church, man, and woman. And what it teaches us is not a list of roles and hierarchy. It is a love song. 
  As it unfolds throughout the canon of Scripture, the meaning of our sexuality extends beyond biology, nature, and culture to give us a glimpse of what is to come. This meaningfulness reinforces our discipleship as we participate in the eschatological song. 
  In The Sexual Reformation, you will discover the beautiful message that our bodies—and our whole selves—are part of the greater story in which Christ received the gift of his bride, the church. Within the context of that story, you'll rediscover your sexuality as a gift. 
  Discussion questions and language comparisons are available in the audiobook companion PDF download.
