Growing Roots And Spreading Wings
$33.11
Have you the Roots that it takes to live through depression, war, accidents, cancer, Alzheimer’s disease, and observing a loved one’s dying, and have you the Wings to land safely? From the 1920s through each decade to the present, Giving Roots and Spreading Wings takes us through one family’s love of God, family, and country, and how they deal with the trials and hardships in their lives, incorporating faith, humor, sorrow, insight, and philosophy. Experience the pride of service to country as a sailor and to youth as teachers. Laugh and cry with them as they work with troubled students trying to get an education. See through this family’s eyes how to react to a hurricane in Florida, an earthquake in California, and a tornado in Oklahoma. Think of the changes that WWII brought, feel the contentment of working in the soil, the joys of a wedding, and the hope a new birth can bring to a family. The sections on the mother’s Alzheimer’s disease and death, breast cancer, prostate cancer, bone cancer, and the daughter-in-law’s death are universal themes with which everyone in the graying of America can identify. In contrast to modern-day expressions of love through graphic bedroom scenes, observe the love of two friends that grows into a love that lasts for a lifetime when the physical attractions of the body have been taken away.

Love Stories Of The Bible Speak
$30.00Biblical Studies
Additional Info
The Bible is full of “love” stories. But the Biblical idea of love is so much bigger than we imagine.Love is at the heart of the Bible. From the moment Adam declared Eve “flesh of my flesh”…to the sacrificial love of Joseph for Mary…to the deep friendship of David and Jonathan…to the abounding and never-changing love of God: The Bible is a love story. But it also redefines the way the world tells us we should think about love.
The Bible reveals not just butterflies and broken hearts. In Scripture, we see God’s beautiful design for the partnership of marriage. We witness friendships that cross all boundaries. We watch as families navigate the many seasons of life. Our guiding example for them all is the deepest, most abiding, foundational love ever known: God’s unconditional love for His people.
In The Love Stories of the Bible Speak, Shannon Bream draws lessons from the good, the bad, and the ugly of Biblical romances, friendships, and families. She shows how God’s love is often very different from ours, turning upside down our assumptions about life, relationships, and each other.
The Love Stories of the Bible Speak reminds us that, no matter where we find ourselves, God’s unwavering love will sustain and guide us. These insights into biblical relationships will uplift and encourage you, and reveal new dimensions to the most central Christian duty: to love God and your neighbor.

Problem Of Pain

Lewis sets out to disentangle this knotty issue but wisely adds that in the end no intellectual solution can dispense with the necessity for patience and courage.
