4 Small Words
$14.99
We live in a world addicted to sound bites. Technology has taught us how to say more with less. Text Messaging, Facebook Status Updates, and Twitter have conditioned us to pack meaning into 140 characters or less. So when it comes to a story as theologically thick, infinitely intriguing, and rich with history, metaphor and meaning as the Story of God, the thought of trying to understand or communicate that story can be overwhelming. But what if it weren’t as complicated or daunting as that? What if the essence of the Story of God could be told in just Four Small Words? What if those words could tell us more than we could ever imagine about God’s story and about our own? With the use of four simple words: Of, Between, With, and In, Stevens gives readers a clear and understandable way to grasp the big story of the Bible. We are “of” God – created by and of Him. Then something comes “between” us and God, and He finds a way to bridge that to keep us in relationship with Him. Jesus comes and lives “with” us, and the Holy Spirit is the miracle of God “in” us.
Sometimes the biggest ideas can be shared and revealed in a few small words. Stevens’ creative and fresh look at the story of the Bible will give new readers, as well as those who have grown up with this important book, new ways to understand the big picture of God’s word.
His Four Small Words will help every reader remember and follow what God was – and is – doing in the life of the world He created.

Mothers And Daughters Of The Bible Speak
$26.99God always keeps His promises, but not always in the way we expect….
“Have faith” is a phrase we hear all the time. But what does it actually look like to live it out? In The Mothers and Daughters of the Bible Speak, Shannon Bream examines the lives of biblical women to see how God’s plans can turn our worlds upside down. She tells the story of Jochebed, a mother who took enormous risks to protect her son, Moses, from Pharaoh. Could Jochebed have imagined that God’s actual design for her son involved flight into exile and danger? And yet this was all part of the master plan to deliver Israel from slavery. Another biblical mother, Rebekah, made terrible choices in an attempt to ensure her son’s place in history. And a daughter, Michal, struggled to keep her faithless father, Saul, from sin, while battling pride in herself.
Through these stories, Shannon explains the intimate connection between faith and family–and how God’s unexpected agenda can redefine the way we think about family. Not all of these mothers and daughters in the Bible were paragons of virtue. Like us, they were human beings who faltered and struggled to do their best. While some heard God’s voice, others chose their own paths. Through the lens of their imperfections, we can see how God used their stories to bring about His divine plans. He’s still doing the same work in our lives today.
The Mothers and Daughters of the Bible Speak shows that faith is more often a twisting road than a straight line. Yet, as the stories of biblical families attest, at the end of these journeys lies greater peace and joy than we could ever imagine.
