"Finding responsible role models today can be especially difficult if you are a tween girl, or the parent of one. In Becoming a Girl of Grace, Catherine Bird takes a close look at some of the amazing women of the Bible and the character traits they model for today's tween girls. These women of yesterday have a lot to share with the girls of today! Dealing with mean girls and bullies, feeling left out, and learning to like oneself are not new social dilemmas. The Bible is full of examples of strong females who chose to follow God and pursue faith despite what was happening in their world and cultures. Becoming a Girl of Grace is prayerfully and intentionally written for tween girls to share with their moms. The premise is simple-offer a way for moms and their tween daughters to dig into the Word of God together and keep the lines of communication flowing, full of engaging questions and fun activities"--

"An invisible, spiritual battle is waging around us, a battle between God and Satan for control of our lives. In spite of God's truth that the battle has already been won, Satan's primary goal is to separate us from God and convince us that he holds absolute power over us. Armor of God unpacks the six pieces of armor that God has revealed as essential tools to defend against Satan's schemes on earth. Alongside their tween, parents will uncover important truths to better understand the enemy and how he works to ambush, outflank, and outsmart God's army. Most importantly, parents and tweens will learn how to equip their God-given armor, to apply it to their daily lives, and to employ strategies to defeat the one true enemy. In addition to guided Bible study and "Letters from the Battlefield," Armor of God includes conversation starters and fun activities that will open a dialogue between parents and tweens and draw them deeply into God's Word together"--

There is a universal assumption that associates darkness with fear and evil. Why is it that light has come to be exalted, venerated-worshipped even-whilst darkness has become demonised and feared? As a devoted lover of the dark, Catherine Bird seeks to ask how we can use the experience of darkness to lift our spirits, challenge our hearts and minds, and draw us closer into the heart of God. Drawing on material not only from Biblical and religious studies, but also from anthropology, biology, sociology and the creative arts, The Divine Heart of Darkness offers a new way of understanding darkness and invites you to enter a new realm in which light and darkness co-exist and complement each other, both with beautiful and life-affirming qualities, and both with challenging and negative qualities-not reflecting a dichotomy of good and evil, but rather a balanced universe in which God's nature is revealed in all things which are healing and affirming of life.
