Sometimes, the various ways we interpret the written Word can cloud our view of the Living Word. In Re-Examining Our Lenses, Jeanie Shaw asks us to consider how a selective-literal, Western, and scientific hermeneutic, especially common to those from Restoration church backgrounds, profoundly influences the ways we view discipleship and spiritual growth. Offering revised lens options for greater clarity and an increased spirit of unity, she invites us to deepen our intimacy with God. As you read these pages and gain increased clarity, you will be both challenged and thrilled to discover new ways to renew and rejuvenate your relationship with the ever-present, living God.

Beginning with the touching story of a devoted goose, this book is written for anyone who has ever felt different, rejected or empty. Understanding Goose explores issues of loss, grief, rejection, identity, trust, shame, intimacy and control, and how they affect our lives. This book moves beyond mere self-analysis to help readers discover the fulfillment that comes when we look to God for healing and self-worth. In the preface, Jeanie writes, "Without the Scriptures and a relationship with God (which secular teachings often avoid), we miss the most significant and crucial path to healing! It is my conviction that all things work better when based on principles that have their origins in God's word. May you find rest for your soul as you come to 'Understand Goose'."

Friendship, encouragement, and the value of working together are woven throughout this touching story of two elephants.

So, he transports Rosie and Opal to Hope, Maine, where he lovingly cares for them. Rosie and Opal learn that despite their weaknesses, they are still important. Dr. Jim helps them know that they have valuable roles toplay in this world, and that we must all work together to help each other grow, and to make this world a better place. Based on a true story, the relationship these two share with each other and their special friend, Dr. Jim, will warm your heart.

Collected Wisdom on Aging Faithfully.With honesty, humility, and humor, the writers tell of their own mistakes, failures, trials and shortcomings, and how God has brought them to a better place through them all. They share experiences that have been unjust or unfair, and how God the righteous Judge has worked to bring justice in his own time and in his own way. But they don't just share trials-they also share stories of victory and inspiration. Some offer us practical wisdom in dealing with the specific issues (financial, marital, physical) that aging brings. Each writer strives to inspire us tokeep fighting, keep loving, and keep laughing, no matter what "old age"throws our way. - From the foreword by Sam Laing
