  Out of Darkness Into Light

  I am a living witness and a fruit of the light that shined in the deepest darkness. This book shows the power of the Gospel to transform lives. -Beletew Kebede, president of the Ethiopian Addis Kidan Baptist Church 
  Living in the highlands of Ethiopia was like living in the Wild West. No one trusted anybody; a gun or a doola was always at hand-and was often used; farming was primitive, and famine was always close at hand; and evil spirits held real power over the people's lives. Theirs was not a good life, and we wanted to help. We went as a community development team, asked God for guidance, and things began to change. As a spiritual battle broke out, we relived events from the book of Acts. Amazingly, God worked, and we watched a people group come out of darkness and into the light!

  · From one of the most perceptive and popular Christian writers of the last century

  "Love means self-giving. Self-giving means sacrifice," Elisabeth Elliot observes in this award-winning classic that still speaks as powerfully and freshly to us today as it did when it was first published. In fact, in our age of self-focus, we may need the message that Elliot spoke, wrote, and lived more than ever. 
   
  Through a series of engaging essays on such diverse topics as personality, prayer, femininity, forgiveness, motherhood, animals, frustration, and the light conquering the darkness, Elliot shows us what it means to live a life fully given to Christ. Depicting everyday encounters and events, these essays help us see meaning in both the mundane and the miraculous. From a hospital in Georgia to a mission station in the Andes, from a seminary in Massachusetts to a secluded house in Jamaica, you'll discover the power of simple faith in the stuff of everyday living. 
   
  This timeless spiritual perspective on the value of being a woman, wife, mother, and follower of Jesus from a beloved author is perfect for devotional reading or any time you need a reminder that God is good, you are redeemed, and the trials you face will be worth it in the end.

Many people live most of their lives striving to find and follow God’s will but still wondering whether they’ve gotten it right.

She also offers practical steps to discovering how to build your trust in God, seek His guidance, and overcome the fear of missing out on His best for you.   If you’re struggling to have confidence that you can hear God’s voice and know what He’s created you to be and do, Finding God’s Will for Your Life will leave you with more peace and more confidence to live joyfully in God’s love and walk the path He has for you.

  Finding a Familiar

  Aria, a young red headed girl, has been content to wander the forest, talking with the animals and enjoying her life. But this week she needs to focus and finally choose a Familiar (that is, her very own animal companion). The problem is that Aria cannot decide on one! For the first time, Aria must travel the forest by herself to find one. Armed with only her compassion, her adventurous heart, and perhaps a few other abilities, she must face the dangers of the world, find a familiar, and return home in time for her village’s familiar ceremony. 
  Finding a Familiar is the first chapter book in the Aria’s Adventures book series. It is a cute, adventurous story to be enjoyed by both parent and child alike. In her journey Aria and her friends learn about how to empathize with others, grow in friendship, and deal with their own emotions and the emotions of others. Aria must also learn how to confront people who have less capacity for empathy. It may be the most important book series that Dantes has had the joy of writing, since empathy is a key theme. It is a virtue that many people in our society (including the author at times) struggle to learn and live. May we all grow in coming to know and understand the unique perspectives of other people.
