  Today's youth face immense challenges, and their role within church communities is often undervalued. Don't Despise Our Youth by David A. Washington offers a powerful call to action to transform youth ministry into a platform where young people are empowered to lead, thrive, and serve alongside their church. 
   
   
   
  Washington writes from his own experience, having come to faith through the work of youth ministry in inner-city Chicago. He credits this ministry with rescuing him from a life of gang involvement, crime, prison, and imminent death, providing the guidance he once lacked. 
   
   
   
  Washington uses scripture, personal stories, and powerful testimonies to shine a light on the transformational influence youth can have within the church. This book challenges traditional views of youth ministry and inspires you to see the full potential and worth of youth, urging church leaders to build ministries that reflect discipleship, community, and the foundation of God's Word. 
   
   
   
  Whether you're a youth leader, pastor, parent, or educator, this book will equip you to foster meaningful discipleship in urban and African-American contexts and empower the next generation to rise into their God-given potential.

  Vrnda Devi occupies a special place in the devotional traditions of Vaishnavism as the sacred goddess who presides over Vrindavan, the eternal abode of Krishna. Revered as a great devotee and divine servant, she is described in sacred literature as the guardian and arranger of Krishna's pastimes, ensuring that every aspect of the spiritual world unfolds in perfect harmony. Though less widely known than many major deities, her importance within Krishna devotion is profound. 
   
  Traditional texts identify Vrnda Devi with the sacred tulasi plant, one of the most revered plants in Hindu worship. Devotees honor Tulasi as an embodiment of devotion, purity, and spiritual service. Throughout Vaishnava history, offerings of tulasi leaves have played a central role in the worship of Krishna and Vishnu, reflecting Vrnda Devi's unique relationship with the Divine. 
   
  This audiobook explores the life, legends, symbolism, worship, and enduring significance of Vrnda Devi. Drawing upon the Puranas, Vaishnava scriptures, traditional commentaries, and devotional literature, it presents the story of one of the most beloved figures in Krishna devotion, whose service, purity, and dedication continue to inspire spiritual seekers throughout the world.

  Discover how God’s love can rewrite your story in My Story, Your Glory, a thirty-day devotional that explores how God’s glory redeems every chapter of our lives—inspired by Dove Award-winning worship music artist Matthew West’s song “My Story, Your Glory.” My Story, Your Glory reveals how God brings hope into all situations in our lives. We all have hurts, mistakes, and losses in our lives that we wish would disappear. God promises that He will work all things together for the good of those who love Him. The God of mercy doesn’t mark up our stories with a red pen; He blots out our sins and then comes alongside us, encouraging us to keep writing. Readers will learn how to find God’s purpose in their pain and His message in their mistakes. By sharing his own highs and lows, West relates to readers and helps them to reflect on the less-than-perfect parts of their lives. Readers are pointed to examples in Scripture of people not much different from us, and how God, in His glory, redeemed their stories. In every way that we are not enough, our God is. West encourages readers to give God the glory in both the best days and worst days. Each entry in this devotional calls readers to:  Connect to God’s Story and truth through selected Bible verses  Craft your story by recording your answer to a thought-provoking prompt  Share your story with God or others, inviting God to move through the Spirit  Live your story by bringing glory to God through concrete action  My Story, Your Glory guides readers to call God into their story, giving Him the glory for all He’s already done and waiting expectantly for Him to write the next chapter.
