Sustaining Faith (When Hope Calls Book #2)

Janette Oke, Laurel Oke Logan

Sinossi

So much has been accomplished. Lillian Walsh has stepped out courageously beyond what she'd ever dreamed of being able to achieve. She and her newly rediscovered sister, Grace, have settled three children from England into new Canadian homes and are prepared to place two more just after the New Year, when it happens--another painful disruption.  
 
A white lie the sisters used to protect some orphans has resulted in an official complaint and a letter revoking the sisters' permission to manage their little children's home. And unexpectedly, Walter, the young man who has won Lillian's heart, departs for a job in the oil industry without leaving any hope for their future, making her confused and lonely. 
 
With more children on their way from England needing caring homes, Lillian and Grace must use every ounce of gumption to keep their mission alive. But when startling information about the past surfaces and a new arrival comes via suspicious circumstances, they'll have to decide what is worth fighting for and what is better left in God's hands.

Why Would Anyone Follow Jesus? -...

Ray Comfort

Of all the gods, gurus, and good people out there, why Jesus? Why follow some ancient carpenter-turned-philosopher from a podunk town in the Middle East? A man whose own people didn't believe in him for the most part. It just doesn't make any sense. 
 
 
 
Or does it? 
 
 
 
With his signature insight and contagious enthusiasm, Ray Comfort walks you through twelve persuasive reasons to believe that Jesus of Nazareth was who he said he was, did the things the Bible records him doing, and explains why it matters to your life in the twenty-first century. He covers everything from the virgin birth to Jesus's miracles and teachings, including his hard sayings, his detractors, his exclusive claims, and his commands to his followers. Through it all, Comfort shines a light on how Jesus stands out and stands above every other teacher, prophet, or historical figure out there. 
 
 
 
If you struggle to articulate why you follow Jesus to your friends and family, or if you are a skeptic looking for some way to make sense of the whole Jesus thing, this book is for you.

Orthodoxy

G. K. Chesterton

Published in 1908, Orthodoxy is Chesterton’s witty and paradoxical defense of the Christian faith. Written as a kind of spiritual autobiography, he describes his journey from skepticism to belief, showing how Christianity provided the answers to the riddles of existence.
 
Chesterton argues that modern philosophies often swing between extremes—either denying human dignity or denying human sinfulness—whereas Christianity balances both truths: man is both fallen and made in God’s image. He stresses that faith is not a dull restraint but a source of wonder, adventure, and joy. Christianity, for him, preserved the mysteries and paradoxes (such as weakness becoming strength, or life through death) that make life meaningful.
 
Ultimately, Orthodoxy defends the idea that Christian belief is not only rational but also the most exciting and imaginative vision of the world.
