Book Description
This heartwarming picture book reassures children that a parent’s love never lets go—based on the poignant lyrics of JJ Heller’s beloved lullaby “Hand to Hold.” “May the living light inside you be the compass as you go / May you always know you have my hand to hold.” With delightful illustrations and an engaging rhyme scheme, this book offers the promise of security and love every child’s heart longs to know. From skipping stones and counting stars to climbing trees and telling stories, every moment is wrapped snugly in the certain warmth of a parent’s presence and God’s blessing. With poignancy and joy, this bedtime read captures the unconditional love parents want their children to know but so often fail to express amid the chaos of daily life.

Book Description
What are human beings created for? How can we experience the well-being made possible in Christ? What does it mean to love God and our neighbor wholly? These questions go to the heart of what it means to live the Christian life. Happiness, Health, and Beauty explores these questions by putting Wesleyan doctrine in conversation with voices from the wider Christian tradition: theologians, philosophers, social critics, scientists, and poets. The guiding themes for this inquiry into the nature of the Christian life are happiness--how we flourish together in the goodness of God; health--the intrinsic connection between bread and bodies in the Eucharist; and beauty--the disposition to benevolence that is the hallmark of our being fully human.

Book Description
I was raised in a German Roman Catholic family. Many hardships resulted from alcoholism, poverty and loss of three children at a young age. She was married at 17 and her children experienced child abuse at the hand of their father with a dismal outlook in breaking free. Through the grace of God, she was able to escape this daily abuse and she became a single parent of five children at the age of 32 with no child support and no finances. Having a love for Jesus caused her to use her faith in many traumatic times. She leaned on the LORD as she overcame one trial after another. When she was 44 years old, she answered the call to follow the LORD. She was then able to overcome obstacles with a new energy and strength. Working on the Standing Rock Indian Reservation was a huge blessing to the Lakota Sioux Indians in introducing them to training and in obtaining employment. Many anointed experiences occurred while ministering with her late husband to the Native American people throughout Canada and the U.S. She moved to Canada with her husband, leaving her job for the State of North Dakota where she worked for 16 years. She left all behind her to travel to new territory and into a new culture, going forward to minister full time for the LORD. She traveled to North Dakota, South Dakota, Montana, New Mexico, and provinces in Canada such as Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and British Columbia with her late husband teaching the people the love of God and deliverance from bondages and unforgiveness. Since her husband passed away, she now touches many lives as she ministers and she continues to work full time as a job counselor in Minnesota, being a blessing to many.

Did you ever have the feeling that God was with you, sitting beside you, and walking with you? For Michael Arterberry, experiencing God's presence is a daily occurrence and one that has brought him through some of life's toughest moments. Inspiring and motivational, God Was Holding My Hand shares Michael's journey of coming to know the Lord. From his tumultuous childhood with a distant, complicated father to the day in 2001 when he accepted Christ as his savior--and every day since--he shows how he came to put his faith in God and accept God's plan for his life. Written in a conversational style by his wife, Rachel, Michael's narrative explores the highs and lows of life and how Michael met God in each one. From his marriage to Rachel and his volunteer work at a local prison to a foot injury that turned into surgery on his spinal cord, events drew Michael closer to God at every turn, with the awareness that He was holding his hand the entire time. His compelling testimony calls Christians to look deeper into their relationship with God and to trust that He has a Divine plan and purpose for their lives.

Book Description
*The basis for the wonderfully funny and moving TV series developed by Amy Poehler and Scout Productions* A charming, practical, and unsentimental approach to putting a home in order while reflecting on the tiny joys that make up a long life. In Sweden there is a kind of decluttering called döstädning, dö meaning “death” and städning meaning “cleaning.” This surprising and invigorating process of clearing out unnecessary belongings can be undertaken at any age or life stage but should be done sooner than later, before others have to do it for you. In The Gentle Art of Swedish Death Cleaning, artist Margareta Magnusson, with Scandinavian humor and wisdom, instructs readers to embrace minimalism. Her radical and joyous method for putting things in order helps families broach sensitive conversations, and makes the process uplifting rather than overwhelming. Margareta suggests which possessions you can easily get rid of (unworn clothes, unwanted presents, more plates than you’d ever use) and which you might want to keep (photographs, love letters, a few of your children’s art projects). Digging into her late husband’s tool shed, and her own secret drawer of vices, Margareta introduces an element of fun to a potentially daunting task. Along the way readers get a glimpse into her life in Sweden, and also become more comfortable with the idea of letting go.
