Synopsis

In "Jessica's First Prayer; and, Jessica's Mother," Hesba Stretton artfully weaves a narrative that delves into the transformative power of faith and the resilience of maternal love. Set against the backdrop of Victorian England, the text employs a rich, evocative style that captures the complexities of social issues, particularly child welfare and the challenges faced by the impoverished. The tale intricately portrays young Jessica's innocent prayers and the subsequent impact on her and her mother, drawing readers into a poignant exploration of hope, redemption, and spiritual awakening. Hesba Stretton, born Sarah Smith, emerged as a powerful voice in children's literature, advocating for social reform and highlighting the plight of the less fortunate. Her experience as a teacher and her deep-rooted Christian beliefs profoundly influenced her writing, prompting her to craft stories that not only entertain but also inspire moral reflection. Stretton'Äôs background and commitment to philanthropy resonate throughout her work, as she aims to illuminate the struggles of her time, while fostering compassion and understanding. With its heartfelt narrative and compelling themes, "Jessica's First Prayer; and, Jessica's Mother" is a must-read for anyone seeking to delve into Victorian literature or the social consciousness of the era. This book not only provides entertainment but also serves as a timely reminder of the enduring strength of love and faith in overcoming adversity.

    Life is painful.  Everyone's story comes with unique challenges, difficulties, bumps, and bruises that leave you lost and drowning in their wake. It could be a financial disaster, a health issue, a broken relationship, or the loss of a loved one.  Dr. Tony Evans, bestselling author and pastor of Oak Cliff Bible Fellowship, understands life's hardships firsthand. In a span of less than two years, he lost his brother, sister, brother-in-law, two nieces, father, and wife. At the same time, both of his daughters received cancer diagnoses. In the wake of all this pain, Dr. Evans had to put into practice, at the deepest levels, the truths he has preached about God for more than forty years.  God's Word doesn't promise us a life free from pain and trouble. It promises us something else—Someone else. Someone who will walk with us through all of life's trials and troubles.  There is hope for the hurting: His name is Jesus.

    Worship is central to our relationship with God. Yet worship in today's churches is influenced more by the stage performances and trappings of secular concerts, and less on what God himself show us in the Bible. 
     
     
     
    Knowing the importance and power of true worship, A. W. Tozer preached on the topic regularly throughout his life. Authentic Worship presents his thoughts on what it really means to praise and honor the Lord. He exposes how many believers have unknowingly adopted a shallow, manipulative, cultural view of worship because we don't know who God is. Digging into Scripture, he reveals the character of God and shows how that directly impacts and deepens both our worship of him and our relationship with him. 
     
     
     
    The worship we begin here on earth should have its roots in heaven—and how we worship today will prepare us to worship throughout eternity before God Almighty.

    Elisabeth Elliot had an early acquaintance with the Bible. Before she could read or write, God's holy words were read aloud to her twice a day. In her life, this gift of a deep and personal association with Scripture was priceless: a drink in times of thirst, an inspiration in times of fear, and a light in times of darkness. Join Elisabeth Elliot for six months of daily meditations, each holding the power to bring you deeper into God's abiding love.

    The Quilt of Hope holds the threads of unlived lives and joins them together to reveal a dark history in the Catholic Diocese of Ballarat. 
    During a time when unfathomable and gruesome truths were told, the constant denial and dismissal of claims of child sexual abuse brought together a small group of parishioners. The Quilt of Hope was created to reach out to people and provide a canvas for their voices to finally be heard. 
    This is an inspirational story of people who chose to stand up in the face of evil and work together to challenge the collective silence of the Catholic Church and the wider Catholic community. 
    Adrianne Moloney is the daughter of Carmel Moloney, a founding member of MTJ (Moving Towards Justice). She was inspired to compile this book to honour the voices behind the quilt and provide a vehicle for these stories to be shared. 
    Adrianne holds a Masters in Sociology and Anthropology and a Masters in International Community Development. She grew up in Ballarat and attended local Catholic schools.

    Can we pray together anymore?

    Who are you? What makes you, you? In the past, your personal identity would have been settled before you were born. Today, identity is a do-it-yourself project: ours is a day of identity angst. Known by God Audio Lectures surveys the neglected biblical theme of being known by God as his children, a truth that meets our deepest and lifelong need for recognition—the key to a secure personal identity. Brian Rosner shows that embracing this identity gives our fleeting lives significance, provokes humility, supplies cheering comfort, and offers moral direction for living. 
    The Biblical Theology for Life series brings groundbreaking academic study of the Bible alongside contemporary contextualization and proclamation. Each title, taught by a leading biblical scholar, traces the development of a theological theme in Scripture and addresses the relevance of the Bible's teaching to pastors, church leaders, students, and lay readers.
