"Do what you can. Start where you are. I think you'll find, as I have found, that when you help make other people's dreams come true, your own dreams will come true as well."-Laura QirkoTo say that Mother Teresa, now recognized as St. Teresa of Kolcata (formerly known as Calcutta in English), has impacted millions of people from around the world who have never even seen her in person-much less met her, touched her, talked with her-would be an understatement of epic proportions. But for those who did meet her, talk with her, and were touched by her-like Laura Qirko (Cher-ko)-her impact reaches beyond the temporal and into the eternal."I am a humanitarian woman," Laura says. "And I want to encourage everyone I encounter, whether I meet them in person or through the pages of my book, to join me in this mission. You don't have to be a millionaire to serve others. It costs nothing to love and respect each other. Mother Teresa once said, 'We ourselves feel that what we are doing is just a drop in the ocean. But the ocean would be less because of that missing drop.'"As you read the amazing story of Laura's humanitarian journey, you, too, will be inspired to make a difference right where you are- today!

This is a true story.It tells the story of a journey; a journey filled with laughter and sadness and despair, many miracles and hope. It is the answer to a prayer born out of desperation - "Lord, do whatever it takes; bring Matt back to Yourself and to us." It is not a "how to" book that tells you how to pull yourself up "by your bootstraps", but an example - a testimony to the faithfulness of God and how He answered that prayer and transformed my son (though he still suffers physical hardship) into surrender, love, ministry and Joy.

Have you ever asked: Why do we do what we do in today's evangelical worship services? Why is it so important? To Jesus We Sing was inspired after observing worship leaders who lacked a basic understanding of Christian worship from an historical perspective-who are unaware of why and how certain worship traditions began, survived, and even perished over the centuries. Worship leader, songwriter and author, Jamie Harvill, has compiled a concise, easy-to-read study of Christian worship history, from Creation to the 21st century Millennial generation. There are questions for each period of history at the end of the book, designed for personal use, small groups or for academic purposes.

Farmer. Soldier. Son. When Howard Miskelly was drafted into the US Army at age 18, he had no idea how far from his north Mississippi farm the adventure would take him. Fighting his way across war-torn Europe, Howard proudly carried out his duty, eventually earning two Bronze Stars for courageous combat against an armed enemy. His letters home kept him in touch with his beloved family, and he longed for the day that he would see them again. After his return home, Howard Miskelly put himself through college and became one of the most successful and respected businessmen in the state of Mississippi. He and Ann, his wife of more than 60 years, raised five strong children whose own successes in business have taken their father's legacy to new heights. This is the story of a man and his family, a man and his integrity, a man and his God-a man whose life has cast a long and comforting shadow to all those who have had the privilege of walking beside and behind him.

From his boyhood summers in the woods and fields of Rock Hill, South Carolina, to the heights of influence and leadership in the largest Protestant denomination in the world, Dr. Fred H. Wolfe has traveled a remarkable road and lived an extraordinary life. A college athlete on a football scholarship, Fred's only goal was to be a successful coach. But God had another arena of leadership in mind for him, one in which he would answer a call to preach and pastor, and impact the lives of thousands. From the early days of his journey, it was Fred's hunger for God and his willingness to follow Him anywhere, no matter the cost, that earned him the loyalty and respect of the many people who would lovingly call him "Brother Fred." Fred Wolfe has known and been a friend to many of the greatest spiritual giants of the last century, from Charles Stanley and Leonard Ravenhill, to Roy Hession, Bertha Smith, and his own mentor, Dr. Stephen Olford. But to all those who have walked with him, he has never stopped being the man who is ready to listen, ready to love, and ready just to pray for you and pray with you. And all through the years, whether on his knees in public or private, or whether standing in the pulpit with his Bible wide open, the message of Fred Wolfe's life has always come back to one resounding echo-that Jesus Christ is Lord!

Living Jesus Out Loud is about challenging yourself to live as though Jesus REALLY IS the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords in YOUR life. Real world examples are given to inspire you to live your life in a manner no one is able to do in their own strength but is entirely possible with the help of the Holy Spirit. The difference between the concepts found in Living Jesus Out Loud and other evangelism books is that you are taught how to capitalize on the strongest asset God has given you to demonstrate His love to others - your life. People inspect the lives of those who call themselves Christians and decide not only whether we are genuine Christians but if Jesus is worth their attention. If for no other reason, we must be willing to be introspective about our lives and determine whether or not we're truly demonstrating the love of Christ through the way we live. Living Jesus Out Loud is substance without hype. It's about the everyday, extraordinary gifts God has given us, as Christians, put to use for His glory. It's about you and me truly becoming His Ambassadors.

These are not new questions, of course. Even the early church, they struggled with what it meant to live out their belief in Christ Jesus. In multiple New Testament passages, we see the how the three basic ideas of our Christian beliefs--faith, hope, and love--are inextricable linked together.THESE THREE offers a basic understanding of this magnificent trinity. In the same way that we say, "I believe in the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit," this book outlines the Christian life by affirming the essential connection between faith, hope, and love in the life of every Christian. God's desire, God's very best plan for us, is that over time we will become a person of deeper faith, a person with greater love, a person possessing a larger hope.Read it, live it, and unleash the power of becoming the person God created you to be.

Have you ever wondered how a fir tree feels about being a Christmas tree? It's 1864, in Eastern Tennessee. Fraser the Fir is eight years old and ready for what the firs have been whispering about every year: Selection Day. Fraser imagines himself a treasured tree, better than the rest in the field in which he lives, and is disappointed when he is not chosen to be a Christmas tree by the families that come through the wood one December morning. He is filled with self-doubt and questions his worth. However, through the actions of others, he comes to understand the sacrifices we make for those who mean the most to us and discovers a purpose far more important than being just a Christmas tree.

God's love for us and desire for us to know Him and to treasure Him only is paramount throughout scripture. God's Word shares that "David is a man after God's own heart." David's heart is revealed to us in the Bible and is most evident in the Psalms, where David shares his heart's cry and desire to glorify his Heavenly Father. David also prophetically praises the coming Messiah, the Treasured King.Like all of us, David was imperfect, yet he demonstrated a desire and commitment to fulfill God's will throughout his life. David left us an example of passionate devotion and humble repentance. His journey of grace, restoration and hope still rings true for us today. As we study God's Word, may we also see that God is after our hearts as well.Be that man or woman after God's own heart! Experience that same passion for God as David did. Take this journey through the life of David. Allow it to penetrate your heart. Reflect on the questions at the end of each chapter and allow God, through His Holy Spirit, to speak to you and draw you closer to Christ Jesus, "The Treasured King."

Dee Dee Graham began having epileptic seizures when she was five years old, and from that moment, her life was different from those around her. Tests, specialists, and medications became the order of the day for her, and as she grew, she watched her friends enjoy the life that she couldn't have, such as driving licenses and full days of school uninterrupted by seizures, and jobs where you wouldn't be fired for having another seizure. Doctors tried it all, including telling her it was all in her mind, but as she cried out to the Great Physician, His news was the best of all: "Then the Lord said to me, 'Write my answer plainly on tablets, so that a runner can carry the correct message to others. This vision is for a future time. It describes the end, and it will be fulfilled. If it seems slow in coming, wait patiently, for it will surely take place. It will not be delayed.'"That passage from the Bible in Habakkuk chapter two became Dee Dee's foundation on which to stand. In her story, you will find what she found--that through God's faithfulness to His own promises, He alone can bring us healing through hope.

Sharing our most personal pain brings not only our own healing, but also encouragement to others. In this, her first collection, Candy Reid loosely chronicles a series of experiences that would have torn a lesser soul apart. However, because of God's grace and through sheer tenacity, the result was a stronger faith of her own and a life deeply dedicated to obedience. In gratitude and out of that obedience, "Who Turned Out The Lights?!" describes how extremely difficult, challenging, and even painful events in our lives can be used for our good. Walking "through the valley of the shadow of death" (Psalm 23:4) can bring life and freedom and wisdom when we turn to God in its midst, rather than run from Him. As a mother, friend, wife, and breast cancer survivor, Candy Reid's words will strike a chord in almost everyone's heart. These pages will bring encouragement to those finding themselves in a dark place in life and wondering how they got there or, even more importantly, what possible good could come out of it. In each instance, a relevant Scripture is included that offers a balm to hurting souls, or wisdom to those seeking it. "Who Turned Out the Lights?!" is a loving gift to anyone in need; whether that someone is a dear friend, or yourself.

It is also the story of her personal spiritual journey, sharing how it slowly drew her closer to God. Every story is different. It is her hope that her story will help someone else on their own path to healing.

The Joshua Mandate is found in Joshua 1:8 where we read, -Do not let this Book of the Law depart from your mouth; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful.- This small volume of brief chapters of exposition drawn from 52 verses of God's Word is designed to encourage God's people to commit to memory one verse each week for an entire year. It is a spiritual journey which will richly reward all who love the Lord Jesus and who desire to be conformed into his likeness.

She helps you discern God's voice from all the others vying for your attention. And she invites you to experience expectant, anticipated times of life-changing surprises as you recognize His presence in new ways.

You will laugh, cry, be challenged, and ultimately, be changed. This is because Signa expects you to hear God. And you will!

Keith W. Currie writes in such a way that he re-presents much of the enduring hope of the writers of the psalms. There is the taste and feel of worship and prayer here in these pages. Worship that is simple, personal, and applicable to daily life and problems. Prayers that sing with joy and also question in honest, heart-felt bewilderment. Every psalm has been rewritten into lyric, meter, and rhyme. It is not lofty, yet it sings in a way that is earthy and accessible. Pick up this book and read it aloud; you'll be edified. Read it side-by-side with your Bible; you'll be enlightened. Read it with a friend; you'll be enlarged. Most of all, absorb the Hope that fills the book of Psalms. Keith Currie has re-written them in such a way that your heart will be lighter for picking up this book and thumbing its pages. This Biblical hope is so much more substantive than just wishing; it is a secure, certain hope that will shape your life and form your decisions.
