Faith Steps for Military Families: Spiritual Readiness Through the Psalms of Ascent
by Lisa Nixon PhillipsA book of Christian wisdom, comfort, and strength derived from the Bible specifically for military personnel and their families during times of deployment.There is much preparation made in advance of an upcoming deployment, but sadly spiritual readiness rarely makes it to the check-off list. While war may inflict injuries on the souls of our service members, faith is the balm that can help the healing process and make a difference when living under difficult circumstances.Faith Steps for Military Families explores the themes of the fifteen Psalms of Ascent (Psalms 120–134) in the Bible’s book of Psalms. These special psalms reveal God’s wisdom about common military concerns, such as living in unfriendly environments, enduring desperate times, and coping with unforeseen conditions. They also touch on many other issues faced by twenty-first century military families, such as family resiliency, trusting in God during times of fear, and a deeper understanding of God’s nature as protector, keeper, and the night watchman.Lisa Nixon Phillips, a retired military wife shares some of her experiences, while walking you through these essential and richly meaningful verses.
Faith That Lasts: A Father and Son on Cultivating Lifelong Belief
by Cameron McAllister Stuart McAllister"Please fix my kid." In their work as Christian apologists, father and son Stuart and Cameron McAllister have heard many variations on this theme from concerned parents. It's a sentiment lots of Christian parents can relate to—a deep and fearful sense of their own inadequacy to raise their children in the faith amid a seductive culture that's often hostile to Christianity. In Faith That Lasts, the McAllisters reflect on their own experiences of coming to Christian faith—Stuart from a life of crime on the streets of Glasgow, and Cameron in the context of a loving Christian home. Together they outline three dangerous myths that we all too easily buy into: that fear can protect our children, that information can save them, and that their spiritual education belongs to the experts. They reconsider each myth in the light of the Christian faith and their own experiences. When our confidence is rooted in the good news of Jesus, our homes can be places of honest conversation, open-handed exploration, and lasting faith.
