Equipping You To Better Manage God's Money

My husband and I have always been fans of Randy Alcorn and his writings. His topics focus on questions that Christians frequently ask, but rarely are able to find bible answers. This new book "Managing God's Money" is a  wonderful question - answer book by Alcorn about anything having to do with money. This book is written in a question and answer format with all of the questions under a similar topic grouped together. There are 6 different sections in this book, 22 chapters, and over 100 questions answered. Topics include "Tithing: The Training Wheels of Giving," "Materialism, Ten Fatal Dangers," and "Looking For Returns: Gambling and Investing." There isn't a question about money that I believe Randy Acorn doesn't address in this book. When we first received this book, I laid it aside in our office for a couple of days only to have my husband come to me a few hours later exclaiming "This book answered the question I've always struggled with and never had an answer to." He was referring to saving money for retirement. I would highly recommend this book to all Christians! I would also encourage anyone seeking scripture and books in regards to money to also check our Randy Alcorn's book "The Treasure Principle."

It's Not About Me

I'll be honest, I'm not the biggest Lucado fan because I tend to think that his books are only surface deep and I tend to want something more challenging in my walk with Christ. With that being said, I have wanted to read "It's Not About Me" for quite some time. This hardback edition focuses on how our life is really not about us. I've heard that so often before in the church, "that's its not about me," and yet somehow I go through my day without ever focusing on Christ or others. This short, easy read will help refocus your thoughts and heart as you are reminded that this life is not about you, but rather the one you were created by. I would recommend this book!

Every Single Woman's Battle

I have been married for a year now, but only being away from the single life for a year now, I remember the struggle to remain emotionally and physically pure. This book, or handbook rather, assists single women in keeping their heart for Christ and their future husband. This handbook contains quote from Shannon's book"Every Woman's Battle," as well as questions and thoughts for the reader and small groups. I will definitely keep this book on hand to use and mentor younger single women! This book would be great for anyone working with college aged girls!

90 Days of God's Goodness

I have always enjoy reading material from Randy Alcorn. His new book “90 days of God’s Goodness is another excellent book to add to your collection. This hardback book focuses on the Goodness of God for 90 days. The premise of this book is how to find comfort in truth while suffering well. Each day has a specific theme and is begun by focusing on at least one section from scripture (both the New and Old Testament are equally used), although there are several days that incorporate two different verses. Randy Alcorn then goes on to explain the verse into more detail and how we may apply these principals to our lives. Each day is then ended with a prayer. I personally believe that this would be an excellent gift book and resource for someone who is grieving at a time in their life. It truly does focus on “shining light in personal darkness.” Whether suffering the loss of a family member or friend, going through an unwanted divorce, or just dealing with the valley’s of life, I highly recommend this book. It will help take the focus off of the temporary but replacing it with eternity. I received this book from Waterbook Press!

God Gave Us So Much!

God gave us so much is a children's book compiled of three different stories: God gave us the world, God gave us love, and God gave us heaven. In each of these stories, a little cub asks questions in order to discover more about who God is. I really, really enjoyed this book. The pictures are so, so sweet, and with having a newborn, I can't wait to use this with her! I would highly recommend adding this book to your library collection!

A Man's Book

Every Man’s Battle by Stephen Arterburn and Fred Stoeker is a great read that every Christian man would benefit from reading. They address the war on sexual temptation in a blunt, honest and humbling way that is much needed in today’s culture. It really is a battle that every man faces, and any man that is looking for tools to help him win the battle can find it in this book. It would also be GREAT to do as a group study with other men – and they make that easy to do with the included workbook.
