  “Definitive...honest reflection…particularly relating to meaningful relationships…which lends it distinction.” – The BookLife Prize (Publisher’s Weekly) 
  College media instructor Karl W. Beckstrand (B.A., journalism; M.A. conflict resolution) has completed most of his bucket list; but his relationships were far from satisfying. Today, he enjoys profound lasting ties. 
  Are you or someone you love wrestling with faith and LGBTQIA questions? Regardless of marital status or sexual orientation, every person has God-given needs for love and union, including connection with those of one’s own sex. Yet, long-term relating bliss can be elusive for many. 
  Has anything taken God by Surprise? God not only accepts “queerness,” expressed attentively, it’s part of His plan for joy. God can help us fulfill needs while honoring His will; and loving, generous feelings can replace discouragement, isolation, even addiction. 
  Beckstrand’s 27th book shares scriptural keys for transforming relationships and creating deep, lasting same-sex bonds. “I hope all who feel attraction to their sex—or any potentially isolating distinction—can learn its positive purpose and expressions; that each person can feel self-love, God’s love, and profound love with others.” Chapters include:Is It All about Sex? What’s Good About Attraction to Your Own Sex? Are Competing Desires Healthful? Authentic Identity – The Key to HappinessHow to Not Miss OutClose Beyond Imagination

  Mission Affirmed - Recovering...

  What will it take to accomplish Christ's mission in our lifetime?
  That's the question evangelicals have been asking for over a century, but our efforts to reach the unreached and finish the task have often sacrificed the important for the immediate. The greatest challenge in evangelical missions isn't a lack of urgency, but a lack of discernment. As we've prioritized movements that are simple and reproducible, the gospel and faithful churches are now threatened. Our mission itself could be disqualified.
  In Mission Affirmed, Elliot Clark seeks to reshape our motivation by considering the example of Paul the missionary. The desire for God's approval is what formed his ambition and directed his methods, and it should guide ours too. In these pages, we rediscover how pursuing God's praise can both motivate and regulate our gospel ministries. We also refocus—as missionaries, pastors, churches, and individuals—on what matters more than a mission accomplished: a mission God affirms.
  Published in partnership with the Gospel Coalition.

  If recent world events have taught us anything, it's that life doesn't always look the way we want it to look. And while we can't control the curveballs life throws at us, we can control our response to them. We can choose to loosen our grip on what we think life is "supposed" to be and embrace life for exactly what it is—messiness and mayhem and all. We can choose to stubbornly turn toward the sun, even as the storm rages around us. That surrender is where true happiness and peace lie. 
   
   
   
  With insights born from her own hard-won battles, Mandy Hale turns her attention (and her sizable wit) to showing you what she's learned about letting go of the desire to control everything in life. With the honesty and authenticity she's known for, Mandy inspires you to stop striving, live in the moment, sit with your experiences, and trust God with the unknown. 
   
   
   
  Like sunflowers that turn toward the sun that helps them grow tall and strong, we can turn to friends, family, and faith for strength in difficult times. 
   
   
   
  If you've felt depleted or despairing as you've wrestled with circumstances beyond your control, you will find in Mandy a kind and trustworthy guide through the storm.

  Morals & Behaviours - Al Akhlaq...

  I have gathered together in this book numerous ideas which Allâh, the provider of intellect, has enabled me to profit from as day succeeded day, [and year succeeded year] and circumstances altered, permitting me to understand the vicissitudes of fate and to control its fluctuations, to the extent that I have devoted the larger part of my life to it. 
  I have chosen to master these problems by study and contemplation, rather than throw myself into the various sensual pleasures which attract most souls on this earth, and rather than amass unnecessary wealth. I have gathered together all my observations into this book in the hope that the Almighty may allow it to benefit whichever of His servants He wishes who has access to [is capable of understanding] my book, in the matters over which I have slaved, devoting all my efforts to them and reflecting at length upon them. 
  I hope that it will be well received, and I present it with good intentions and blessings [with a good heart]. This book will benefit a person more than financial treasures and possessions of property, if he meditates upon it, and if Allâh enables him to make good use of it. As for myself, my hope in this enterprise is to win the greatest reward from Allâh, since my intention is to help His servants, to remedy whatever is corrupt in their character, and to heal the sickness of their souls. I beseech the assistance of Allâh [Almighty, we wish only for God, the best of defenders]. 
  Ibn Hazm Al Andalusi
