Sinossi

With America's entrance into the Second World War, the town of Blackberry Springs, Alabama, has exploded virtually overnight. Workers from all over are coming south for jobs in Uncle Sam's munitions plants--and they're bringing their pasts with them, right into Dolly Chandler's grand but fading family home turned boardinghouse. 
 
An estranged young couple from the Midwest, unemployed professors from Chicago, a widower from Mississippi, a shattered young veteran struggling to heal from the war--they're all hoping Dolly's house will help them find their way back to the lives they left behind. But the house has a past of its own. 
 
When tragedy strikes, Dolly's only hope will be the circle of friends under her roof and their ability to discover the truth about what happened to a young bride who lived there a century before. 
 
Award-winning and bestselling author Valerie Fraser Luesse breathes life into a cast of unforgettable characters in this complex and compassionate story of hurt and healing.

    God's rules do more than restrict--they give freedom.
    They are words of prevention and protection.
    They define identity--ours and God's.

    Transform a life of spiritual dryness into a life of spiritual zeal 
     
    · vital revelations, biblical wisdom, and practical principles 
    · ignite a vibrant, contagious relationship with Christ 
    · from a seasoned revivalist and pastor 
     
    In an age of excess, the primary enemy of revival is "enough." When you're comfortable and full, you lose the desperation required to keep a heart on fire for Jesus. Ultimately, our "enough" leads not to fullness, but to empty, cold hearts. 
      
    Igniting the fires of personal revival, seasoned revivalist and pastor Kim Owens shows that a heart on fire for Jesus is the antidote to apathy and complacency. Sharing vital revelations, biblical wisdom, and practical principles discovered in a 10-year-sustained revival, Pastor Kim equips you to 
    · transform a life of spiritual dryness into one with spiritual zeal 
    · maintain a holy desperation for God 
    · prioritize a passionate pursuit of Jesus 
    · experience a vibrant, contagious relationship with Christ 
      
    There will be no personal revival if there's no personal pursuit. In these difficult times before Christ's return, it's imperative we live in his presence and fullness, on fire with zeal and passion. This is not optional. This is what Jesus shed his blood for.

    The Gospel of St. Matthew Shares with us astonishing words of Jesus: a promise of everlasting happiness, far removed from the usual recipes for gratification. 
    Blessed are the poor in spirit! Blessed are those who mourn!  
    Happy are the meek!... 
    Fr. Jacques shares with us a profound clarity to the full scope of meaning behind Christ’ s eight beatitudes, and in turn, outlines for us a way in which we can live them in our daily lives. We learn how each beatitude gives insight into how we can situate ourselves in an honest and fulfilling relationship with God, with oneself, and with others, and how to confront head-on the difficult realities of life.

    The Home of God - A Brief Story...

    We live in the midst of a crisis of home. It is evident in the massive uprooting and migration of millions across the globe, in the anxious nationalism awaiting immigrants in their destinations, in the unhoused populations in wealthy cities, in the fractured households of families, and in the worldwide destruction of habitats and international struggles for dominance. It is evident, perhaps more quietly but just as truly, in the aching sense that there is nowhere we truly belong. 
     
     
     
    In this moment, the Christian faith has been disappointingly inept in its response. We need a better witness to the God who created, loves, and reconciles this world, who comes to dwell among us. 
     
     
     
    This book tells the "story of everything" in which God creates the world as the home for humans and for God in communion with God's creatures. The authors render the story of creation, redemption, and consummation through the lens of God's homemaking work and show the theological fruit of telling the story this way. The result is a vision that can inspire creative Christian living in our various homes today in faithfulness to God's ongoing work.

    In 1 Corinthians chapter 12 the apostle Paul writes: “Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I do not want you to be ignorant.” Sadly, today many Christians are poorly equipped to understand what the Bible has to say about the Holy Spirit. Throughout the Old Testament we see the revealed power of God referred to as the “Spirit of God” (at creation, anointing prophets, etc.). Yet clearly the Holy Spirit is more than just the force of God, he is a person. In the New Testament Jesus refers to the Holy Spirit as the third person of the Triune God. To comprehend the character and conduct of the Holy Spirit you must understand that he is a person, that he is God, and that he has a specific purpose.
