Sinopse

A 2024 Michigan Notable Book 
 
"A moving novel, fit for inspiring any reader to dream big and believe that anything is possible."--BookPage 
 
*** 
 
Two sisters discover how much good there is in the world--even in the hardest of circumstances 
 
It is 1952, and nearly all the girls 16-year-old Bertha Harding knows dream of getting married, keeping house, and raising children in the suburbs of Detroit, Michigan. Bertha dreams of baseball. She reads every story in the sports section, she plays ball with the neighborhood boys--she even writes letters to the pitcher for the Workington Sweet Peas, part of the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League. 
 
When Bertha's father is accused of being part of the Communist Party by the House Un-American Activities Committee, life comes crashing down on them. Disgraced and shunned, the Hardings move to a small town to start over where the only one who knows them is shy Uncle Matthew. But dreams are hard to kill, and when Bertha gets a chance to try out for the Workington Sweet Peas, she packs her bags for an adventure she'll never forget. 
 
Join award-winning author Susie Finkbeiner for a summer of chasing down your dreams and discovering the place you truly belong. 
 
*** 
 
"Finkbeiner excels at illuminating history and the human condition through the voices of young people. Fans of the 1992 movie A League of Their Own will enjoy this, as will readers of women's fiction."--Library Journal 
 
"In the vivid, episodic historical novel The All-American, a family targeted by McCarthy-era hysteria grows closer while they're awaiting justice; their dreams are kept alive despite the intrigue that ensnares them."--Foreword Reviews

    Where can I go from your Spirit?Where can I flee from your presence?If I go up to the heavens, you are there;If I make my bed in the depths, you are there.If I rise on the wings of the dawn,if I settle on the far side of the sea,even there your hand will guide me,your right hand will hold me fast.(Psalm 139:7-10)

    If there's truly power in prayer, why do we only offer up quick pleas for help or lists of requests? It's because we've lost the biblical vision of what prayer really is: an exciting, risky, faith-filled journey that pushes the limitations of our imaginations—made possible through unrivaled intimacy with the Creator of the universe. 
     
     
     
    With his trademark blend of honesty and encouragement, pastor Andrew F. Carter shatters your preconceived notions of prayer, empowering you to connect with God in ways you never thought possible; engage in open, honest, and transparent prayer; experience emotional healing; overcome common hindrances to a vibrant life of prayer; cultivate an expectant, consistent prayer life; and discern answers to your prayers. 
     
     
     
    Fulfillment, transformation, and eternal impact await you—and it starts when you talk freely with the One who can do exceedingly more than your wildest dreams.

She then established another school in Los Angeles before touring other major cities throughout North America for the next 35 years as a celebrated lecturer, teacher, and practitioner of Mental Science. Your Invisible Power was her first book and remains her most powerful and popular work.Open your mind as she offers you a powerful, yet simple guide to attaining all you desire.

    Follow author Anne Graham Lotz in this seven-session audio Bible study on a journey through Abraham’s life, and learn – as he did – how to live a life of joy and purpose in the midst of struggle and doubt. 
    Are you restless in your spirit, with a nagging sense that there has to be more to life than ‘this’? Anne Graham Lotz has known this struggle, too. 
    As Anne searched for answers to her heart’s yearning and emptiness, Abraham walked out of the pages of her Bible and into her life. Abraham’s life was full of twists and turns, riches and losses, deceit and redemption, failure and success. Nevertheless, his story teaches the key to satisfying a longing heart: embracing a God-filled life. 
    Join Anne as she teaches you and your group to embrace a God-filled life, choice-by-choice, day-by-day, and learn to know God as Abraham did... as His friend. 
    Sessions include:Listening to God Speak Through His Word (41:30)Leave Everything Behind (25:00)Let Everything Go (29:30)Trust Everything Completely (26:00)Lift Everything Up (22:30)Cast Everything Out (20:00)Lay Everything Down (26:30) 
    Coordinating study guide available separately.  
    The Audio Bible Studies series provides a unique audio learning experience. Unlike a traditional audiobook's direct narration of a book's text, this audio Bible study includes high-quality, live audio sessions from the author that cover important Bible-based topics. These sessions will reflect the ambiance of the unique recording locations, immersing the listener into the teaching. While not required for the audio experience, these studies are designed to partner with the coordinating study guide, sold separately.
