  They say friends are the family we choose. And that choosing—the joy of loving and being loved by someone who isn't genetically obligated to share life with us—adds priceless worth to our days, but also great risk. Because hurt can happen even in the closest friendships, and sometimes friendships fall apart. The loss can be staggering. As we struggle to digest the pain and confusion, we wonder, How could this happen? And what do I do now? 
   
   
   
  In When a Friendship Falls Apart, beloved author Elizabeth Laing Thompson comes alongside listeners as they process their struggling friendships—the faltering, the fractured, and the failed. Blending personal story, biblical examples, and faith-filled wisdom, the book explores questions like the following: 
   
   
   
  ● How do we guard against the poison of bitterness so we can process the hurt and move forward? 
   
   
   
  ● When and how do we seek reconciliation? What does forgiveness look like? 
   
   
   
  ● How do we know when it's time to leave a friendship behind? 
   
   
   
  ● How do we open up again and entrust our wounded hearts to new friendships? 
   
   
   
  If you find yourself in the midst of a friendship that's falling apart, or you're grappling with past hurts and regrets, this book is for you.

  Asatru For Beginners - A Pagan...

  You picked up this book and started to read it, but why have you chosen this book, and why have you chosen the Asatru religion. Perhaps you know nothing about Norse Heathenry, or maybe you have heard a little about it, and you want to know more. It does not matter why you chose to start this journey; it only matters that this journey is starting. At worst, this book will provide you with a way to live your life that is honorable. At best, you will find a plethora of gods and goddesses that can help guide you through life, rich mythology, and the possibility of magic. Asatru has been around for a long time, and it will continue to be. It was once popular, lost popularity, and is on the rise again. There is a reason it is on the rise again, and it is not by chance that more people are turning to heathenry, though we can attribute it to fate. As with all religions, some will twist the messages contained to fit their own dishonorable needs, and you can find bad apples within any apple cart. Asatru is an inclusive religion, and no one is exempt from practicing it.

  The Old Testament as Literature...

  Tremper Longman has studied and taught the Old Testament and its interpretation for four decades. Now, in a planned three-book project, he presents his mature thoughts on three ways of approaching the Old Testament text: as literature, as history, and as a source of theology. 
   
  This first volume explores the importance of reading the Old Testament as literature. Each culture tells its stories and writes its poems in different ways. To read and understand the Old Testament texts the way the ancient authors intended, we need to be aware of the conventions of Hebrew storytelling and poetry that they used. In part 1, dealing with literary theory, Longman investigates how texts create meaning, the history of the study of the Old Testament as literature, and how genre dictates reading strategy. He explores the Hebrew conventions for both narrative and poetry in conversation with contemporary literary approaches. Parts 2 and 3 delve into practice, using the tools gained in part 1 to analyze and interpret a variety of Old Testament narratives and poetry. 
   
  Longman's accessible writing and balanced judgments make this book suitable for the classroom and the church.

  Do you believe this? – John 11:26Volume 3A deep, inspiring, and often challenging study of the Lord Jesus Christ's miracles and parables.Men who were led by the hand or groped their way along the wall to reach Jesus were touched by his finger and went home without a guide, rejoicing that Jesus Christ had opened their eyes. Jesus is still able to perform such miracles. And, with the power of the Holy Spirit, his Word will be expounded and we’ll watch for the signs to follow, expecting to see them at once. Why shouldn’t those who read this be blessed with the light of heaven? This is my heart's inmost desire.I can’t put fine words together. I’ve never studied speech. In fact, my heart loathes the very thought of intentionally speaking with fine words when souls are in danger of eternal separation from God. No, I work to speak straight to your hearts and consciences, and if there is anyone with faith to receive, God will bless them with fresh revelation.-	Charles H. SpurgeonOriginal title: Miracles and Parables of Our Lord.In this third volume, Charles H. Spurgeon expounds in inspiring and convicting detail on the death and resurrection of Lazarus, whom He loved.About the AuthorCharles Haddon (C. H.) Spurgeon (1834-1892) was a British Baptist preacher. He started preaching at age 16, and quickly became famous. He is still known as the “Prince of Preachers,” and frequently had more than 10,000 people present to hear him preach at the Metropolitan Tabernacle in London.
