Beschreibung

Sometimes Work Hurts
We might be discouraged, disillusioned, or devastated by our work. We might experience trauma or harassment on the job, or we may have experienced work loss by getting fired. If you've been beat up, burnt out, or brokenhearted by work, you're not alone.
The Bible tells us that work will be difficult—filled with thorns and thistles—but no one prepares us for the pain we experience on the job. In When Work Hurts Meryl Herr

- Explores the emotional, relational, and vocational pain that work causes and helps us rebound and build resilience so we can fully participate with God in his mission,
- Walks through the biblical story of the Israelites' journey of exile, return, and rebuilding as a framework for spiritual and practical resources for navigating work loss, and
- Shows that we can take comfort in the fact that God is at work in the midst of our work to bring healing and hope.
"This book is a timely, uplifting resource that speaks to both the heart and mind. With a deep understanding of Scripture and descriptions about her journey, Herr expertly helps readers who want to integrate faith into their professional lives and navigate workplace challenges to reclaim a sense of purpose and hope." – Library Journal Review, February 2025

House Of Mirrors - Finding...

J.H. Whitson

There’s a mid-sized trailer that sets its wheels down on the fairground every year, and on that trailer is a little room. In that little room, there are about thirty mirrors that are designed to be a confusing maze, and a challenge to escape from, once entered.
The object of this house of mirrors is to see if you can walk through the maze of mirrors and get out on the other end without getting lost inside that maze of illusions. When I was a young child, I would get stuck in that maze so many times. I would always get fooled by the illusion that there was a way out right in front of me. But again, I would walk straight ahead, and bam! I would hit another mirror! Clearly, not the way out!
Every year, I would go back to the fair to try it again. Each time I would ultimately find my way out, but not without a few knots on my forehead and a few tears of frustration. Why did I keep torturing myself, you may ask? Well, that’s an easy answer for me. I would think about this House of Mirrors all year long between fairs, and I just really wanted to figure this out! I was pretty bent on knowing there must be an easier way to do this. A rocket scientist, I’m not; however, there are always great lessons to be learned in the process of figuring things out.
Even though I spent many tickets at the fair during my childhood years trying to continually master this House of Mirrors, I just never felt like I really conquered it as a kid. There was always something missing. I haven’t been in one of those House of Mirrors for many years now.
It’s been a couple of years since God showed me what I’m about to tell you, but the message came at a very opportune time in my life—when I really needed it, of course, because that’s how God is and that is when He talks to me! Because He’s cool like that.

Tough Topics

K opp

Countless people are worried, angry, fearful, and just plain confused when it comes to some of the more perplexing issues that life poses and the Bible provokes. Tough Topics provides solid and scriptural answers to 25 such questions. Kelly K. seeks to tackle frustration by looking deeply, not superficially, at what Scripture says, deriving clear and persuasive explanations for these thought-provoking matters. In this deep dive into Scripture, you will learn the answers to these tricky questions: Is it a sin for Christians to drink, smoke, or use medical marijuana? Can you lose your salvation? Is it a sin to live together before marriage? Does God hate piercings and tattoos? Do pets go to heaven? Did Judas go to hell? Are aliens real? If Christians divorce, can they remarry? Can Christians watch horror movies or listen to secular music? What is the unforgivable sin? Do you have to be baptized to go to heaven? And more! We can't walk in the total freedom and peace that Jesus died to give us if we have looming questions about our faith that pastors won't or can't address from the pulpit. This book will arm readers with the biblical truth they need to feel confident in their walk with the Lord.
