    Can a Jewish man and a Muslim fall in love and marry? Love and Hope Have No Borders: An Interfaith Love Story” is a heartwarming story that beautifully captures the power of love and highlights the unyielding spirit of those who dare to reach for it. Although all the characters are fictional, this novel has real-world implications. Meet Joe Gold, a Jewish medical student sent by his father to the Zaatari Syrian refugee camp after a long, loving relationship had ended. There, he meets Alina Aziz, a young Sunni nurse with a deaf brother, Ishmael, who lost his hearing during a bombing in Syria. Their love defies the odds of religion and culture, blooming in a place where hope is scarce. Their intertwining lives and relationships force them to explore their feelings for their faith and their love for each other. This includes learning that their religions, Judaism and Islam, have many similarities. They dream of residing in the USA with Ishmael, and Alina makes it clear that she can’t leave Zaatari without her brother. However, immigration laws may prevent their hopes of a life together in America. Joe goes on a quest to navigate bureaucracy, combat family biases, and bridge the gap between the two faiths. He recruits his dad to assist him. Can Joe convince his parents that marrying a Muslim woman is all right? Will they marry? Will they be able to have a new life in the USA?

    "Have you noticed that Christmas isn't exactly the joyful season that it use to be? It's hectic, rushed, expensive, exhausting, and anything but peaceful…Most of our Christmas celebrations are anything but silent…With each passing year, I seem to be having more and more conversations with other women as to how quickly the Christmas season passes, how rushed we feel and how we know we aren't truly celebrating it in a way that remembers Jesus.” (an excerpt from the Introduction to A Way in a Manger) 
    A Way in a Manger is a 32-day Christmas devotional that gently helps women to re-discover the joy and wonder of the Christmas season in the midst of all the to-do's and chaos.

Each day includes a Passage to Ponder that will be the focal Scripture of the day, an encouraging devotional message to bring the Person of Jesus to life in perhaps a new way, and concludes with a Ponder This application to help the reader apply the day's devotional message to their lives whether that's during the Christmas season or beyond.

    The Christian life is built on three seemingly unremarkable practices: reading the Bible, prayer, and fellowship with other believers. However, according to David Mathis, such "habits of grace" are the God-designed channels through which his glorious grace flows—making them life-giving practices for all Christians. Whether it's hearing God's voice (the Word), having his ear (prayer), or participating in his body (fellowship), such spiritual rhythms of the Christian life have the power to awaken our souls to God's glory and stir our hearts for lifelong service in his name. What's more, these seemingly simple practices grant us access to a host of spiritual blessings that we can only begin to imagine this side of eternity—and the incredible joy that such blessings bring to God's children today.

    Exploring Unity as a Fruit of the Gospel 
    Christians most effectively serve others and advance God's kingdom when they are in biblical unity with one another. Unfortunately, modern Christians seem to be divided on countless issues related to ministry, culture, the church, and even unity itself. Some prioritize organizational unity over gospel truth, while others only seek unity with those who share their same doctrinal beliefs.
    In this short, accessible guide, author Conrad Mbewe explores unity as a fruit of the gospel. He finds that biblical unity is only achieved after understanding what God has done through Christ and how it is continuously executed by the Holy Spirit. This biblically centered book encourages readers to respond to Paul's apostolic plea of "standing firm in one spirit, with one mind striving side by side for the faith of the gospel" (Phil. 1:27), embracing unity as a valuable, God-given blessing. 
    
    - Encourages Unity: Explores unity as a fruit of the gospel that is only understood through what God has done through Christ and executed by the Holy Spirit
    - Practical Study: This concise guide encourages Christians to stand firm in the spirit and in unity with others 
    - A Part of the Growing Gospel Integrity Series: Created in partnership with Union School of Theology
