Joining her husband in the fight to create a home out of a rugged stretch of sagebrush, rattlesnakes, and sand in Eastern Oregon, Jane Kirkpatrick uneasily relinquishes the security of a professional career; the conveniences of electricity, running water, and a phone line; and, perhaps most daunting, the pleasures of sporting a professional manicure. But the pull of the land is irresistible, and the couple dreams of gathering their first harvest from a yet-to-be-planted vineyard. Rather than the simple life they had envisioned, Jane and Jerry find themselves confronting flood and fire, government bureaucracies, and runaway calves, among other disheartening setbacks. Jane frequently questions the sanity of pioneering in this remote area, known as Starvation Point, and she fights against panic with each trip they make down the seven-mile, boulder-strewn, rut-carved "driveway" she calls "the reptile road," which threatens to spill them into the ravine with every lurch of the truck. But as she learns to navigate her new life, this novice rancher discovers that disappointment, isolation, and danger can't compete with the generosity of their rural community, the strength of family bonds, and the faithfulness of the God who planted in their hearts the dream of carving a refuge out of an inhospitable land.

Charles Spurgeon's classic writings tackle the fears and questions that arise as we learn to pray. Experience true faith and the power of answered prayer.

El amor es un arte que se aprende, de manera que un noviazgo no puede nacer de un encuentro casual, porque no debe ser solo una emoción pasajera. Debe guiarnos a una amistad que podría conducirnos al matrimonio y, por lo tanto, debe verse como el fundamento de una relación para toda la vida. En el amor no se improvisa, ni tampoco nos aventuramos a una experiencia a ciegas. El amor crece cuando nos damos el espacio necesario para conocernos. En su nuevo libro, Sixto Porras analiza el desarrollo apropiado de una relación amorosa conducente al noviazgo y luego al matrimonio, explicando las etapas que esta relación necesita tener, y las conductas recomendadas y no permisibles en cada etapa. La obra resulta ser una guía para evaluar nuestras posibles relaciones con objetividad, y elegir la pareja que en realidad nos conviene. ----- Love is an art that is learned, so that a courtship cannot be born from a casual encounter, because it should not be just a passing emotion. It should lead us to a friendship that could lead to marriage, and should therefore be seen as the foundation of a lifelong relationship. In love we do not improvise, nor do we venture into an experience blindly. Love grows when we give each other the necessary space to get to know each other. In his new book, Sixto Porras analyzes the appropriate development of a love relationship leading to dating and then marriage, explaining the stages that this relationship needs to have, and the recommended and not permissible behaviors at each stage. The work turns out to be a guide to evaluate our possible relationships objectively, and choose the partner who really suits us.

"Explains the ancient typology of the Enneagram and helps type Eights explore their gifts, motivations, strengths, and weaknesses through sixty daily devotional readings"--

Newly Released Revelations from Best-Selling Author Mary K. Baxter In 1976, Jesus took Mary K. Baxter on a spiritual journey for thirty nights to witness the torments of hell, charging her to reveal the terrible reality of God's judgment and to relate the urgent message of salvation through Jesus Christ. Mary wrote about her journey to hell in her best-selling book A Divine Revelation of Hell, which has sold nearly 1.4 million copies. After those thirty nights, Jesus told Mary, "I will close up your mind, and you will not remember some of the things I have shown and told you. But I will reopen your mind and bring back your understanding in the latter days." Recently, God brought back to Mary's remembrance many of those experiences because these revelations are particularly for our day. A Divine Revelation of Satan's Deceptions contains new images of hell that Mary has not related in her other books, as well as crucial insights into the deceptions Satan uses to destroy people and the tactics he employs to defeat believers. Our choice is between allowing Satan to deceive and rob us--or claiming our spiritual inheritance and conquering the enemy in the power of God. In A Divine Revelation of Spiritual Warfare, you will learn more about how to receive divine protection and use the spiritual weapons that are rightfully yours so you can take back what Satan has stolen, break free from generational curses, know what spiritual warfare is and is not, conquer entrenched sins and habits, see healings, and release others from spiritual bondage. The enemy seeks to conquer and destroy your spirit, soul, and body, but the devil has far less power than God has made available to us. Learn the enemy's strategies and be equipped to engage in spiritual battles--and win!

"Jesus promises us that the world will give us trials and tribulations, but our hearts should not be troubled. James urges us to "count it all joy...when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness." In Everyday Prayers for Joy, author Gina L. Smith shares the life-changing lesson she learned to lament in prayer in order to find joy during hard times and changing circumstances. When she found herself in a difficult season and cried out to God, "He opened my eyes to the fact that often I find joy in the blessings He has provided for me more than I find joy in Him, the provider of the blessings. I needed to begin the process of learning what it meant to find joy in Christ alone." Biblical joy, Gina explains, "is something that exists even when we are suffering or going through a heavy trial because it's based on the knowledge that God is present, walking with us in our trials, and is producing good fruit in us as we go through them." In this thirty-day devotional, Gina offers powerful prayers of lament to move past our problems and focus on the source of all love and goodness. "The prayer of lament is the prayer for a suffering soul," she says. "It is our fight with our soul to remember there is a future....God gave us the prayers of lament to help us process the suffering we face in this life. When we don't use or understand them, we're actually missing out on the experience of going to the One who loves us most and can actually heal our hearts and help us to get to the point where our gaze breaks through to eternity. Lamenting is the way we come to God when life is overwhelming." Each daily entry includes something to think about, space for journaling thoughts, prayer, and praise, and questions for deeper reflection"--

"The Scriptures give us a full-color picture of a God who is moved by emotions such as yearning, love, and compassion.

Goll delivers a remarkable biblical perspective on our emotions and how they help us to discern and act on God's voice"--

The Mystery of Being a Christian It can be hard for us to admit we are dissatisfied with our spiritual life. That we are in a place where going to church is not yielding the victory we desire.
