A Treasure Reborn
by Pamela GriffinDerek is after what's rightfully his. Derek Burke's father never gave him so much as a kind word during his life, but before his death, he left him one piece of a crude map to a silver mine. Derek's brother and alleged half sister have the other pieces of the map-apparently a ploy to bring the three estranged siblings together. As the oldest son, Derek is outraged at having to share this inheritance. Will stealing the map from his siblings and striking out alone bring Derek success in his hunt for treasure? Or will reluctantly helping Penny Crawder, a young widow, and her daughters cross the wilds of Nevada make him realize what's truly valuable?
The Treasure Tree (A Treasure Tree Adventure #1)
by John T. Trent Gary Smalley Norma Smalley Cindy TrentAnimals teach personality traits and how to respect individuals for who they are. The four animals in this story came out of the personality section we teach in our "Love Is a Decision" seminars, based on our book The Two Sides of Love. Not only do we want children to begin to learn the different personality characteristics, but it is also our deep desire to help parents begin to recognize and highly value even their very young children's unique, God-given bents. It was our good friend Chuck Swindoll who first pointed out to us how the familiar Proverb "Train up a child in the way he should go ..." should best be translated. The way it actually reads in Hebrew is "Train up a child according to his bent ...." We hope that by using four animals to describe the four basic personality types, we have helped you to see more clearly your child's "bent." And for you to help your child learn more about his own personality strengths, we've included a brief personality checklist for the two of you to do together. Limited picture descriptions present.
A Treasure Worth Keeping
by Kathryn SpringerSpending the summer in tiny, idyllic Cooper's Landing sounded wonderful to play-it-safe teacher Evie McBride. She'd read, relax and run her dad's antique shop while he set out on a fishing trip. So how did she end up tutoring neighbor Sam Cutter's troubled teenaged niece? Especially since Sam's handsome face and sense of adventure didn't give her a moment's peace. Nor did the news that her dad wasn't out there looking for trout, but for a centuries-old sunken dowry with criminal ties. Ties that bound Evie and Sam to danger. . . and to each other.

These are the places we store our treasures–the keepsakes that tell the story of whom and what we’ve loved, how we’ve lived, and what matters most to us. God is a collector, too, whose treasures are tucked securely into the pages of his book: a golden bell here, an olive leaf there, a scarlet thread, a blood-stained cloth, a few grains of barley. Each of these saved artifacts reveals a facet of his heart and tells the story of a Father whose most precious possession is…us. InTreasured,Leigh McLeroy considers tangible reminders of God’s active presence and guides us in discovering evidence in our own lives of his attentive love.
The Treasured Age: Spirituality for Seniors
by James FinleyThe beautiful writing in this book touches the heart and soul. Although the priest is talking with those who have experienced loss, disability, retirement, feelings of aloneness or loneliness, or who are being taken for granted or left behind by the changes in the church, there is much to inspire anyone who wants a richer spiritual life and church involvement. Finley challenges the worn-out, the taken for granted, the always-there to ready themselves for each church activity. And not just to be ready, to be the ready-est, as he likes to say. He encourages them to claim the active role which belongs to them. A truly marvelous set of reflections, which sometimes includes such touching prayers that the young will want to use them as models for praying for the grandmothers and grandfathers in their congregations.

Treasures from Juniper Ridge
by Erik Pema Kunsang Marcia Binder Schmidt Padmasambhava Tulku UrgyenTreasures from Juniper Ridge is a collection of "hidden" or terma teachings given by Padmasambhava, the Tantric master who brought Vajrayana Buddhism to Tibet. According to Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche, Padmasambhava hid many teachings to be uncovered later by "revealers of hidden treasures." The special quality of the terma teachings is that they provide guidance appropriate for each period of time and individual person. By working with Padmasambhava, Yeshe Tsogyal, his mystic spiritual consort, was able to compile and codify these precious insights and hide them for use by future generations. Treasures from Juniper Ridge presents a variety of significant revelations for seekers on the advanced path of the Tibetan Vajrayana tradition, as well as in-depth explanations of assorted aspects of practice: deity-focused meditation, nonconceptual meditation, death and dying, and recognizing the nature of mind. The book outlines ways for the modern student to apply these teachings while remaining true to Vajrayana Buddhism's traditional principlesFrom the Trade Paperback edition.

Treasures in the Darkness: Letting Go of Pain, Holding On to Faith
by L. Lawrence BrandonThe strongest believer's faith can be shaken when faced with tragedy or even disappointment. Bishop Larry Brandon faced this himself when his oldest son, Brandon, was killed. Here he shares his own struggle, pain, and eventual victory in Christ. While it appeared to the world that he was doing well, inside his heart and faith were broken. Only someone who has faced the subtle crumbling and nagging doubts can speak with authority to the pain that readers face in such dark times. Treasures in the Darkness also turns to the scripture to show how people like Abram, Sarai, David and others who loved God stumbled when their faith was put to the test. Through the text, the reader will gain spiritual understanding to help stay in faith while getting practical tools to help deal with and overcome private pain, whatever it may be. "Treasures in the Darkness" covers topics such as how to avoid masking one's pain, how to deal with frustration, assumption and presumption, coming through the grief process (the root of private pain), seeing our situation through the eyes of faith, discovering the "hidden treasure" in our pain, and more.

MorrisA book from "the Father of the Modern Creationism Movement," this marvelous look at the author's favorite book of the Bible gives the reader insights not commonly taught in the Church today. This devotional, focusing on the spiritual, physical, and scientific dimensions of the Psalms, starts with the conviction that the Bible is a supernaturally-transmitted collection of the books, with Psalms leading the parade of the world's greatest literature. From the book's definite nod to scientific concepts, to the groanings of King David, Treasures in the Psalms promises to be a gift beyond measure.
Treasures of Darkness: Finding God When Hope is Hidden
by Tara SoughersTreasures of Darkness: Finding God When Hope Seems Hidden People generally consider dark times in life as times that are filled with pain, fear, anxiety, depression, loss, or sadness. Tara Soughers recognizes such moments in her own life. When hope seemed hidden, however, she encountered God. She tells us that she does not always recognize her times of darkness as grace-filled. "There are times when God seems absent in the darkness. There are times when I feel lost and even abandoned. But my journeys through the darkness have revealed God to me in ways that I could never have imagined." She shares personal stories about dark times in her life and how she encountered God through the experiences. She invites us to embrace the darkness as an opportunity to experience the treasure of God's love, presence, and power. Soughers invites us to explore several biblical stories in which darkness plays a major role, and each of the scripture readings offers a unique treasure in the darkness. Psalm 139:12 proclaims a powerful truth about God. "Even the darkness is not dark to you; the night is as bright as the day, for darkness is as light to you." God creates in darkness (Genesis 1). God gives us "life . . . the light of all people" in Jesus Christ (John 1:4). Abraham, Paul, Jacob, Job, Nicodemus, and Jesus encounter treasures from God in the darkness. As Soughers explores each biblical account, she offers a unique point of contact for contemporary Christians, treasures that can sustain us as we encounter darkness in our lives. Book contents contain: Prologue: Discovering Treasures in Darkness 1. Darkness is as Light to You (Psalm 139:7-12) 2. Let There Be Light: Creation and Creativity (Genesis 1:1-5) 3. Count the Stars: Hearing God's Promise (Genesis 15) 4. Who Are You? Overcoming our Blindness (Acts 9:1-19) 5. Why Have You Forsaken Me? Bringing Life Out of Death (Matthew 27:45-56) 6.

Treasures of the Soul: Unearthing God's Purpose For Your Life
by Maggie BellevueThe presentation of the main body of this book is based on a format that I conceptualized for ease of application of the principles which I consider fundamental to living a fulfilling life of purpose. I call that format The 7 'C's of Living In Purpose. In the order in which I present each of them as a chapter on its own, these are: Conceive, Confidence, Concentrate, Consistence, Commitment, Character and Celebration. Having made myself amenable to the divine assignment I was given to write a book that broadly discusses 'purpose' in as focused a manner as I could possibly make it, I still found myself burdened with the task of conceiving of a learning methodology which would render the entire text not just one that would occupy the average reader's leisure reading hours, but also one that would lend itself to an effective tool for the application of the knowledge provided in the book.
