Ten Thousand Charms (Crossroads of Grace #1)
by Allison K. PittmanUnfit for Love? Pregnant--by a man who will never know or care. Gloria, born into a life of prostitution, sees only one solution: get rid of the child. But then she meets John William MacGregan, a miner, left with a newborn daughter and no one to care for her when his wife died during childbirth. So John and Gloria strike a deal. Gloria will care for Kate, and John will eventually raise her son. There is no offer of, nor seeking for, a hand in marriage. When John leaves the mines to seek his fortune in the new Oregon Territory , Gloria, Kate, and baby Danny must go with him. Yanked away from a life of prostitution, Gloria must finally face the pain that has always plagued her, and her longings for a home, a family, and a life free from shame. Ten Thousand Charms is a beautiful tale of an empty heart floundering...and falling straight into the arms of Christ. A woman with no future. A man with no hope. A God who knows the key to their deepest need lies in each other... Wyoming Territories, 1860. Gloria is in trouble. A mining camp is a merciless place when you're young, pregnant...and a prostitute. No matter. Life will not defeat her. John William McGregan is in despair. His beloved wife died in childbirth. And while John is a resourceful man, raising an infant daughter on his own seems impossible. Thrown together by a seemingly cruel fate, Gloria and John William make a pact: She will nurse his daughter; he will raise her son. Neither asks for marriage. They are joined by necessity, nothing more. But after a move to the new Oregon territory, facing John William's faith day after day, and receiving an older woman's motherly mentoring, Gloria longs for something more. For the love she's been denied all her life. If only that life hadn't made her unfit, not only for John William...but for God. Then tragedy strikes--making even the resolute John William question his faith. Terrified, Gloria turns to the One she has never been able to trust. But can even God save what now means more to Gloria than life itself: her newfound family? ling author of Presumed Guilty Story Behind the Book"Having grown up watching reruns of Gunsmoke , I knew all about Miss Kitty and the prostitute-with-a-heart-of-gold cliché. But when I looked at those women, I couldn't imagine their hearts full of gold. Their hearts were just empty. That's when Gloria was conceived. The story itself came about much later, when at church we sang 'Come Ye Sinners, Poor and Needy.' The chorus promises, 'In the arms of my dear Savior there are ten thousand charms.' This was the gold Gloria's heart needed. I wanted to write a story about a woman who falls into the arms of Christ, not even really knowing that she is seeking Him." --Allison K. PittmanFrom the Trade Paperback edition.

Ten un corazón de María en un mundo de Martas / Having a Mary Heart in a Martha World
by Joanna WeaverCon más de un millón de copias vendidas en todo el mundo, el popular libro de Joanna Weaver muestra a las mujeres cómo combinar la cercanía a Jesús con el servicio a Él. Una invitación para toda mujer que siente que no es lo suficientemente piadosa... que no ama lo suficiente... o no hace lo suficiente. Hoy en día, la vida de una mujer no es realmente tan diferente a las de María y Marta en el Nuevo Testamento. Como María, anhelas sentarte a los pies del Señor... pero las demandas diarias de un mundo ajetreado no te lo permiten. Como Marta, amas a Jesús y realmente quieres servirle... pero luchas contra el cansancio, el resentimiento y sentimientos de insuficiencia. Entonces llega Jesús, justo a tu ajetreada vida de María/Marta, para extenderte la misma invitación que hizo, hace mucho tiempo, a las dos hermanas de Betania. Jesús te invita con ternura a elegir “la mejor parte”: una vida alegre, de cercanía a él, que desembocará de manera natural en servicio. ¿Cómo puedes hacer esta elección? Con su novedosa aproximación a la historia de la familia recogida en la Biblia y sus estrategias creativas y prácticas, Joanna muestra cómo todas nosotras, Marías y Martas por igual, podemos acercarnos más al Señor, profundizar nuestra devoción, fortalecer nuestro servicio y hacer todo ello con menos estrés y mayor alegría.
Ten Ways to Share Your Faith in the Workplace: Without Saying a Word
by Rob BowlesJesus touched people’s lives by the way He lived. Jesus not only spoke the truth to those who were listening but He lived out the truth to a world that was watching. His life harmonized with His words and moved individuals and the masses to seek Him out. Jesus was kind, compassionate, and giving as He healed, fed, and forgave people. The actions of His life are a beacon of love that leads us to Him. We learn from Jesus that what we do matters just as much as what we say. This is especially true at work, where people are watching to see if we swim like the fish on our bumper. God knows we make it difficult for our coworkers to believe that His love keeps no record of wrongs if were always gossiping about other employees. Every lie we tell and grudge we hold causes our teammates to doubt that the truth can really set them free. I know for myself, too many times my behavior only taught my teammates about the fallen nature of man, rather than exhibiting any of the characteristics of God. Obviously, God is hoping for something better. He wants our office to be a sanctuary for the coworkers who avoided Him on Sunday to encounter Him in us throughout the week. Pleasing God by the way we work is how we lead the congregation of people that meets in our workplace into worshiping Him too. <p><p>God gives divine purpose, personal fulfillment, and a better night’s sleep to any job when our main concern is to humbly serve Him. We are called to be God’s ambassadors and every job, project, and assignment is a chance to represent Him by our attitude, words, and deeds. God helps us fulfill our calling by giving us His Spirit to teach us His ways and empower us to take what we’ve learned at church and apply it in our workplace. If the fruit of His Spirit is displayed in our actions, then seeds of faith will be sown into the hearts of our coworkers. Every time we act with kindness, self-discipline, and boldness of faith we glorify God in our office and draw our teammates to Him. We don’t need to book a conference room to explain how God forgives sinners; we can get the conversation started by simply admitting our mistakes rather than denying them. An honest and sincere apology is a great way to express our faith in God’s grace to the employee who thinks that they need to earn their way into heaven. Obviously, we can’t make our teammates go to church to learn about the love of God but no one will stop us from working in ways that let them experience His love through us. <p><p>All of us can get our priorities out of order and this book is meant to encourage us to work in ways that will bless us and make God known to others. If we will let God align our perspective with His Word, then we’ll be able to see the changes He wants to make in us. Transformation happens when we believe that God loves us just the way we are and actively trust that His ways are better than ours. We don’t have to be flawless to start walking with God; we simply need to be willing to be led by the One who promises to make us perfect. In writing this book, the Lord brought to my attention some of the times that I let my pride, greed, and insecurity get the best of me. I’ve added a few of my weak faith moments to let you see how silly and short sided it is to not trust in God while doing our jobs.

Ten Women of the Bible: One by One They Changed the World
by Max Lucado Jenna Lucado BishopWe don't even know all their names. Some are referred to only by their nationality. Some are known only by the place where they lived. Some would become queens, while others would live on the fringes of society. One would give birth to a nation, and one would give birth to the Messiah. Their culture often overlooked or discounted the contributions of women, yet the writers of Scripture found these women and the role they played remarkable to the telling of God's story. As we study the lives of the women in the Bible, we find important truths that God wants us to grasp. They lived in a different world than our own, but we find ourselves facing the same issues they faced. Yet even more, these women show us there is a God who sees us where we are and loves us for who we are. He is the one who hovers over all the pages of the Bible, shaping lives, rescuing hearts, healing sicknesses, raising what was dead to life, and assigning high callings to those who choose to follow him and have faith in him. In this 10-session workbook, Max Lucado tells some of his favorite accounts of these ten women--Sarah, Abigail, Esther, the Samaritan Woman, Mary Magdalene, and others--and describes what set them all apart. EACH SESSION INCLUDES 50 in-depth Bible studies to help you navigate the stories in Scripture Daily points to remember to help you summarize the key points Daily prayers to help you focus your thoughts and move into your quiet time Weekly memory verses to help you hide God's word in your heart Additional notes to help you lead a group through the study Ten Women of the Bible is ideal for both individual use and for study in a small-group setting.
Ten Women of the Bible Updated Edition: How God Used Imperfect People to Change the World
by Max LucadoDo you ever feel like a second-class citizen in this world? Do you wonder how God could possibly use you to change lives? For women in Bible times, these weren't even questions they thought about. Being overlooked, marginalized, having your contributions discounted because you're a woman... it's just the way things were. In this ten-lesson workbook, Max Lucado tells some of his favorite accounts of women in Scripture and the remarkable way God broke down cultural barriers to use them in the unfolding of His story. You will discover...Sarah, the woman whom God promised would give birth to a nation, but who tried to rush things when God's promises didn't seem to be coming to pass. Rahab, a prostitute in the Canaanite city of Jericho, who would save herself and her family through her faith in the one true God of the Israelites. Abigail, a woman forced to play peacemaker by the barbaric behavior of her husband. Esther, a young queen whom God placed in the Persian court for "such a time as this" to prevent the genocide of the Jewish people. Mary, the young virgin pledged to Joseph, whom God would choose to give birth to Jesus, the promised Messiah who would save the world. The Samaritan Woman, who would meet this Messiah at a well one day. His words would forever after change her life. The Canaanite Woman, who made God smile with her wit and faith, and who received from Jesus an answer to her prayer. Mary of Bethany, a friend of Jesus who witnessed the resurrection of her brother, Lazarus, and then anointed Christ in anticipation of his death and resurrection. Mary Magdalene, who followed Jesus despite the injustice of a world that judged her for her past and said she would always be considered a failure.Sapphira, a woman in the early church who, along with her husband, made the unfortunate (and deadly) decision to lie to the Holy Spirit. These stories show us there is a God who sees us where we are and loves us for who we are. He is the one who hovers over all the pages of the Bible, shaping lives, rescuing hearts, healing sicknesses, raising what was dead to life, and passing out high callings to those who choose to follow him and have faith in him. Each lesson includes: Five daily in-depth Bible studies to help you explore the stories in Scripture Daily points to remember to help you summarize the key points Daily prayers to help you focus your thoughts and move into your quiet time Weekly memory verses to help you hide God's word in your heart Additional notes to help you lead a group through the study Ten Women of the Bible is a standalone workbook, ideal for both individual use and for study in a small-group setting.
The Ten Worlds: The New Psychology of Happiness
by Dr. Ash ElDifrawi Dr. Alex LickermanWhat exactly is happiness that we spend our lives pursuing it more fiercely than anything else? The answer, Drs. Lickerman and ElDifrawi argue, is that happiness isn't just a good feeling but a special good feeling—in fact, the best good feeling we're capable of having.Enduring happiness is something we all want yet many of us fail to achieve. Look around you. How many people do you know who would say they feel a constant and powerful sense of satisfaction with their lives? How many people do you imagine wouldn't find their ability to be happy impaired by a significant loss, like the death of a parent, a spouse, or a child? How is it possible to be happy in the long-term when so many terrible things are destined to happen to us?In this highly engaging and eminently practical book—told in the form of a Platonic dialogue recounting real-life patient experiences—Drs. Lickerman and ElDifrawi assert that the reason genuine, long-lasting happiness is so difficult to achieve and maintain is that we're profoundly confused not only about how to go about it but also about what happiness is.In identifying nine basic erroneous views we all have about what we need to be happy—views they term the core delusions—Lickerman and ElDifrawi show us that our happiness depends not on our external possessions or even on our experiences but rather on the beliefs we have that shape our most fundamental thinking. These beliefs, they argue, create ten internal life-conditions, or worlds, through which we continuously cycle and that determine how happy we're able to be.Drawing on the latest scientific research as well as Buddhist philosophy, Lickerman and ElDifrawi argue that once we learn to embrace a correct understanding of happiness, we can free ourselves from the suffering the core delusions cause us and enjoy the kind of happiness we all want, the kind found in the highest of the Ten Worlds, the world of Enlightenment.

The Tender Words of God: A Daily Guide
by Ann SpanglerOver the years, Ann Spangler has read through the Bible several times, plowing straight through from Genesis to Revelation. But like many people who tend to be self-critical, Ann found it easier to absorb the harsher-sounding passages in the Bible than those that speak of God’s love and compassion. Then one day, Ann listened as her friend Joan talked about a time in her life when she became convinced of God’s love. Ann expected her friend to reveal something complicated and difficult, a tragedy perhaps that God had brought her through. But Joan had simply decided to set aside one month in which she would act as though God loved her. And that settled it for her—for good. In the months that followed, Ann decided to develop a remedial course in which she could reflect morning and evening on the most tender words of God in the Bible. She prayed that God’s penetrating Word would transform her as she hunted through Scripture for words of mercy, compassion, peace, and protection. The Tender Words of God is the result of this process, offering ninety days of devotional readings on some of Scripture’s most encouraging words. While the core of the book is Scripture, each week contains reflections and daily prayers that chronicle Ann’s struggle to know God better. These are included not because she believes her quest is all that remarkable, but precisely because she knows it is ordinary, expressing as it does our common longing to love and be loved, especially by the One who made us. Ann invites you to join her on this journey to know God better, to let his tender words become like guardians at the beginning and at the end of each day, convincing you once and for all of his faithful, committed love.

Tending Soul, Mind, and Body: The Art and Science of Spiritual Formation (Center for Pastor Theologians Series)
by Todd Wilson Gerald Hiestand Gerald Hiestand, Todd WilsonThroughout his ministry, Jesus consistently demonstrated his concern and love for the whole person: soul, mind, and body.That task is carried forward today by pastors and church leaders, who are called to care for people in the midst of individual circumstances as well as seismic cultural shifts. How might that calling be informed by recent developments in psychology? How should the church attend to matters of mental health? How might psychology and counseling aid us in our spiritual formation?Based on the 2018 Center for Pastor Theologians conference, this volume brings together reflections by pastors, theologians, and psychologists who explore the relationships among three fields of study—theological anthropology, spiritual formation, and modern psychology. The result is a vibrant whole-person theology that can aid the church today in its centuries-old call to care for the soul, mind, and body.Based on annual CPT conferences, the volumes in the Center for Pastor Theologians series bring together the reflections of pastors and theologians who desire to make ongoing contributions to the wider scholarly community for the renewal of both theology and the church.
