Johanna In The Valley Of Decision
$16.86
Johanna is a typical teenage girl growing up in the heartland of America, in a “Christian” home. She is evangelized by her dynamic Christian friend, Kelly, who is planning on going on a short-term mission trip to Haiti. Johanna visits Kelly’s church, and decides to sponsor a girl named Yolene in Haiti. In the meantime Yolene has been on the waiting list for months to be sponsored, so she can go to school near her small village in North Central Haiti. The book follows the lives of both girls and their families in their very different cultures and lifestyles, and points out the similarities and differences, and concludes that each of the girls and their families have many common basic needs: food, shelter, education, love and a need to know the Lord through a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Robert Dubois is an engineer born and raised in New England. Robert has made over 20 short-term trips to Haiti, including 10 months in the rural provinces. He and his wife and three children live in South Florida, where they attend Calvary Chapel Fort Lauderdale and are active in the Children’s Ministry. Robert has been extensively involved in child sponsorship programs for several large missions organizations, and he and his wife have personally sponsored over a dozen children in Haiti with World Vision, Compassion International, New Missions and Bethanie Missions. He and his wife Marie are writing the Johanna series to raise awareness for the need for child sponsorship in Haiti and other underdeveloped countries, as they believe that the hope for these countries rests with the youth, who can be reached with the Gospel and educated, and eventually impact their native lands for Christ.

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.

No matter where we are on our path of discipleship, he offers encouragement to shed the limitations of fear, shame, and doubt through complete reliance upon God.
