God Help Me
$15.99Add to cartLife can sometimes be incredibly hard.Sometimes we find ourselves at the bottom of a pit of despair, dejection, and possible defeat. The death of those close to us, economic concerns, sudden unemployment, past or present abuse, divorce, addiction, major depression, or other major life-shaking events can lead us to the breaking point. Situations of hardship, loss, disappointment, and extreme hurt can leave us all physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually drained and unable to function. With nowhere to turn and no apparent way out,we cry,we scream, and we plead,”God help me!”. This is the author’s personal testimony based upon his own life experiences, observations, reflections, and training in chaplaincy, ministry, counseling, and life. Here the author shares the feelings and insights gained in times of such extreme challenge as well as spiritual and practical steps toward climbing out of the pit before starting over or moving forward in life. Neither theological nor psychological, this is the work of one who has been there in his own life and in the lives of others. God Help Me! is for those seeking hope,meaning, purpose, and the hand of God to help them climb out of the darkness.

From Growing Up Pains To The Sacred Diary
$19.99Add to cartThe Growing Up Pains Of Adrian Plass
The Sacred Diary Of Adrian PlassAdditional Info
Two favourite works by best-selling author Adrian Plass in one volumeAdrian Plass has a way of telling our stories by telling his, and by so doing has endeared himself to a multitude of readers. Perhaps his secret lies in his humour, from the dark to the absurd. Or it could be his penchant for poking gently but frankly at the foibles of Christian living. Both qualities are on display here, with two of Plass’s best-loved books rolled into one. The Growing Up Pains of Adrian Plass offers reflections on a difficult passage in the author’s personal journey, during which the television programme Company and some of its memorable guests made a deep impact on Plass’s faith. The Sacred Diary of Adrian Plass Aged 37 1/2 is a laugh-filled, fictional daily chronicle of family and church exploits, featuring Plass’s literary alter ego and a memorable cast of supporting characters. Referring to The Sacred Diary, Plass writes, ‘I don’t think I shall ever be unhappy enough to write such a funny book again.’ Though different in character, both books in this volume explore the darker side of living the Christian faith–and, in Plass’s inimitable style, point beyond to the bright hope that lies in Jesus. -

Help My Loved On Is In Prison
$8.95Add to cartA helpful manual for anyone who has a child, parent, spouse or other loved one either currently incarcerated, or newly released.
There are over 2 million American citizens incarcerated in this country. Many of those people have family members or other loved ones on the outside. All of them have been adversely affected by the incarcerated of the loved ones to various degrees And those loved ones can be a tremendous help and resource for the offender when he/she finally gets out of prison. But in many cases, the loved one on the outside has no clue what to do to help their incarcerated loved one. Programs seem to be scarce. Many people asked for help turn in the other direction. Oftentimes the person searching for help finds himself or herself just as lost as the person inside the walls.
This new manual by Conquest Reintegration Ministries addresses that experience. This publication is for anyone who is affected by the incarceration, either past or present, of a loved one and wants to do something to help. The manual covers the following topics:
Understanding the criminal mind
Am I ready to do this?
Differentiating between the “right” help and the “wrong” help.

You will see in these stories people who looked inside themselves and discovered the potential God gave them to touch others. These individuals were the colors that brightened Dorothy’s world, a world which was sometimes darkened by the hopelessness she encountered in her work as a counselor and teacher.

In Colors of the Spirit, Ederer goes through each color of the rainbow to share the special meanings they have for her, and how the qualities they represent can bring us peace and joy in our own lives.

Depression, worry, and disappointment creep into every believer’s heart at one time or another. But we can be set free from these and other difficult emotions and situations that pull us out of fellowship with God.J. Dwight Pentecost draws from his years of teaching and counseling experience to find the answers to life’s problems in the Word of God by surveying fifteen Bible characters who struggle with issues such as guilt, doubt, and resentment. But this is much more than a survey of Bible characters! It’s a path to finding unwavering hope, unsurpassable peace, and unlimited love.
“These studies were prepared,” say Pentecost, “to enable God’s people to find God’s answers to the problems they face from day to day.”

Best-selling author Phillip Keller explores the practical implications of living in daily communion with God. Many Christians believe that this kind of intimate fellowship is a special favor granted only to the loftiest of saints. But Phillip Keller reminds us that every believer can live in the daily joy of God’s presence.
Walking with God in the spirit, in the soul, and in the body – abiding wholly in the presence of Immanuel – will energize and illuminate every corner of one’s life with God’s guidance and comfort. Keller calls the reader to accept God’s invitation to walk humbly with Him. When we accept His invitation, He will reveal to us who we truly are, what life direction we are taking, and the ultimate destination of our individual walk of faith.
Walking with God is for “the weary and worn who have lost their way and are uncertain where to turn….It is intended especially for those seeking souls who long to walk with God in humble joy – who ache fiercely for the Master’s friendship.” -

Bible Readings For Caregivers
$8.99Add to cartWe all have opportunities to show caring to others in our daily lives. Caregiving is not limited to the professionals. Whenever we reach out in empathy to someone in need we are caregivers. We may stand beside cheer to a lonely person. We may allow a person to express feelings about a job loss or the agony of a divorce. As a member of the body of Christ, “if one part suffers, every part suffers with it” (1 Cor. 12:26). If we listen through the pain, walk with the person through troubled times, and present a word of hope in Christ, we offer Christian caring.
