Not So Simple Life

Sixteen-year-old Maya Stark seems to have it all-fame, fortune, a Beverly Hills lifestyle, and a rock star dad. But on the inside, Maya is miserable. Her parents are divorced, her dad is away on tour, and being biracial, she struggles with her identity. Then, to make matters worse, her mother is arrested on cocaine charges and is facing jail time.
With nowhere to live, Maya’s already shaky world is turned upside down when she is sent to spend the summer with her cousin Kim and Uncle Allen. Because of her background her attitude, she has a hard time fitting in, and many write her off as a snob. Truth be told, she’s insecure, confused, and embarrassed by her mother’s problems. Her cousin Kim tries to help her, but Maya is jaded and antagonistic, and looks down on Kim because she’s a Christian.
Teen fans of Melody Carlson’s Diary of a Teenage Girl series will be delighted with this first installment in the Maya stories. Follow Maya’s journey as she discovers that the key to the real “simple life” lies in giving her heart to God.

Ruthless Trust : The Ragamuffins Path To God
$14.99Add to cartWe are made for the love of God, and nothing less will ever satisfy us. In his acclaimed bestseller, The Ragamuffin Gospel, Brennan Manning showed us the powerful truth that the divine gifts of love is ever present for us regardless of the state of our lives. Now in this challenging sequel, he turns to our primary obstacle to living fully within this divine love — the lack of “ruthless trust.”
Through rich stories and deep insights, Manning shows us how true and radical trust can transform everything in our lives. 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. The way of Ruthless Trust is not an abstract theory; it is that very practical and demanding path that each of us must follow in response to God’s love.
