  Once timid and unsure of her own salvation, New Zealander Florence Young rose to her calling and became a fearless and faithful witness for Jesus Christ. Eventually serving in the remote Solomon Islands and, for a season, in China during the deadly Boxer Rebellion, Florence began her service close to home. This one woman's mission to the Solomon Islanders, or Kanakas, working on her family's Australian plantation soon expanded to their home islands. There, as Florence and others helped Kanaka believers reach out to villages steeped in cannibalism and revenge killings, thousands of people were transformed by the love of God.

  This book is your first resource when you need to know how God can help someone through life challenges! Scripture Resources for Counseling compiles decades of ministry leadership into an easily accessible reference that can be used by any Christian believer. More than 800 Bible texts support Nora Fozard’s experience-based wisdom for helping people through life challenges. Her godly wisdom is gathered into brief discussions of dozens of contemporary topics, then offers you prayer and conversation guides for Word-based, Spirit-led counsel of people in need. 
  She doesn’t shy away from hard topics like domestic abuse and addiction, and doesn’t overlook faith basics like salvation and backsliding. She speaks candidly about spiritual challenges, like the widespread envy and loneliness that pervade our culture. She offers clarity about issues of faith that have been distorted by bad teaching, like God’s readiness to provide generously for all his people. She brings refreshing clarity to questions about self-esteem (Yes! You need it!) and how it differs from lack of humility. 
  As a pastor’s wife and the leader of prayer ministries at their church, Nora Fozard has trained hundreds of Christians in effective prayer counseling. In this book, she extends her knowledge to any believer who wants to be faithful in serving friends and strangers with God’s good care. 
  You’ll find what you need for yourself and others as you pray through chapters on family life, friends, marriage, forgiveness, finances, and aging parents. Your eyes will be opened to God’s love and power as you find strength in the Word to support people struggling with addiction, gambling, sexual sins, and even suicidal thoughts. You’ll be empowered by God’s Word and Spirit to help people find hope and peace.

  A leading spiritual teacher reveals how Celtic spirituality—listening to the sacred around us and inside of us—can help us heal the earth, overcome our conflicts, and reconnect with ourselves. 
   
  John Philip Newell shares the long, hidden tradition of Celtic Christianity, explaining how this earth-based spirituality can help us rediscover the natural rhythms of life and deepen our spiritual connection with God, with each other, and with the earth. Newell introduces some of Celtic Christianity’s leading practitioners, both saints and pioneers of faith, whose timeless wisdom is more necessary than ever, including:   
  Pelagius, who shows us how to look beyond sin to affirm our sacredness as part of all God’s creation, and courageously stand up for our principles in the face of oppression. 
  Brigid of Kildare, who illuminates the interrelationship of all things and reminds us of the power of the sacred feminine to overcome those seeking to control us. 
  John Muir, who encourages us to see the holiness and beauty of wilderness and what we must do to protect these gifts. 
  Teilhard de Chardin, who inspires us to see how science, faith, and our future tell one universal story that begins with sacredness. 
  By embracing the wisdom of Celtic Christianity, we can learn how to listen to the sacred and see the divine in all of creation and within each of us. Human beings are inherently spiritual creatures who intuitively see the sacred in nature and within one another, but our cultures—and at times even our faiths—have made us forget what each of us already know deep in our souls but have learned to suppress. Sacred Earth, Sacred Soul offers a new spiritual foundation for our lives, once centered on encouragement, guidance, and hope for creating a better world.

  The Mary Pages - An Atheist's...

  Raised in an atheist household, Sally Read nevertheless saw images of the Blessed Virgin Mary from earliest childhood—and they remained with her in the most remarkable ways. Conscious of the conflict between her feminist values and what came to be a fascination with Marian art, Read—through tumultuous relationships, loneliness, and distant places—began a unique quest to discover the true essence of Mary. These pages contain the strange, raw, and epiphany-filled stories that led to Read’s dramatic nine-month conversion from atheism to Catholicism. Focusing not only on Read’s life but also on the lives of others who, knowingly or unknowingly, encountered the Virgin, this literary memoir is a testimony of how a Mother patiently brought one child home to her Son—and slowly revealed her own heart.
