    Mind to Heart first became a reality in 2013. Faced with the devastating loss of her beloved grandfather followed by a job layoff two months later, Andrea had to develop a healthy way to deal with the shift in the trajectory of her complicated and seemingly unsteady life, so she began writing. It started as a simple way of encouraging others through her heartache. The writings have been nicknamed as AMTs over the years. AMTs are short messages of hope that are shared with others as a way to offer encouragement that is inspired straight from God.  These messages always include a scripture to validate the topic and to serve as a reminder that The Word is true and applicable. The easy-to-understand manner that each thought is presented helps the reader to get a grasp of Biblical principles regarding how we should live our lives based on the Word of God. There have been so many that have been blessed by these messages that it was only befitting to finally publish some of the work. God desires for us to share the Good News with others, so this collection of AMTs should inspire you and also those around you.  These writings are not only easy to read and understand but should also give you hope and guidance about how to live out your life full of purpose. People often wonder how she comes up with many different topics, but it is through a willingness to follow Christ by upholding His holy standards. Mind to Heart is a compilation of some of Andrea’s latest work, and it is sure to bless you.

    In the Socrates Meets series, Peter Kreeft revives the classic method of bringing philosophy to life through dialogue. In eight innovative volumes, he uncovers the principles, assumptions, and sometimes dangerous conclusions of some of history’s most influential minds.  Each dialogue imagines a purgatory where we can listen in on conversations between Socrates and the great thinkers who, centuries later, picked up the philosopher’s torch. Each conversation investigates one of the philosopher’s key works, a short, readable classic that raises central questions both for philosophy and for life. In this volume, Socrates cross-examines René Descartes, the father of modern philosophy and author of the Discourse on Method, exploring the certainty of human knowledge.

    The Importance of Covering

    Covering is perhaps one of the most vitally important subjects that God's people could study. In this series, Lance Lambert shows that this theme runs as a strong emphasis throughout the Bible from beginning to end.
     
    For those who abide in God and dwell in the secret place—the covered place—the Almighty becomes their protection, security, and safety. As Psalm 91:1 declares: 'He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.'
     
    As the days grow increasingly evil and the world seeks to devour the Lord's people, it becomes vital that we come under and remain under God's covering. We must boldly enter the holy place through the blood of Jesus.
