What happens when life begins to trip us up and failure starts creeping in? Many of us just keep on doing the same thing, hoping for different results. Some of us look for escape, to find a way out of the mess we feel that we've created. But neither enduring nor escaping is ultimately what we need. The answer is to allow ourselves to begin again, every day, in every part of our lives. Through engaging, lyrical prose, Leeana Tankersley shows women how to forgive themselves, develop new and healthier patterns of living, and do away with resentment and regret. Her life-giving words will free women who are feeling stuck and allow them to clear out the debris to make room for what God wants to do in their lives. To begin again is to open the window, even a crack, to let the breeze of grace come in. It is a call to stop running from our fears. To take one small step toward becoming the brave women we were made to be.

Do you like stories? Of course. You’re a kid!   Jesus loved stories too, and He told lots of them. Each story was designed to do something important in the heart of everyone who listened. They taught important lessons about why Jesus came to earth, what the kingdom of heaven was like, and how we should treat other people. The stories He shared reminded everyone how much God loves us all and how we should always love and respect others.  What kind of stories do you think Jesus would tell today if He were here on earth today?   Not sure?  Open the book, read, enjoy, and learn!  These stories teach the same lessons Christ’s parables taught, but using kids from today. Each of the 25 stories is based on one of Jesus’ parables, and each one includes the verses from the Bible where you can find the original story.  You might not be building a house on a rock, but you will love meeting wise Wes. Confused by the wheat and tares?  The story about truth and lies is easy to understand. Not sure what Jesus meant by a mustard seed?  That’s alright, you’ll love the story of Amber’s tiny talent.  You may not know much about vineyard workers, but you know about swimming in the summer! These are just a sample of Jesus’ parables told using kids from today.  So what are we waiting for? Let the refreshed parables begin!

Quand l'homme ne croit pas à l'existence du diable, il ne se munit pas des armes nécessaires à sa défense. Peu de temps avant sa mort, à l'âge de 90 ans et après plusieurs dizaines de milliers d'exorcismes pratiqués, l'exorciste le plus célèbre de l'Eglise catholique livre son testament spirituel. Au cours d'entretiens avec le prêtre et journaliste Sławomir Sznurkowski, le père Gabriele Amorth répond aux questions essentielles touchant la lutte contre le Mal. Rappelant la place de l'homme dans le plan de Dieu, il souligne les dangers spirituels qui menacent l'Eglise et le monde d'aujourd'hui. Il les décrit avec précision, tout en proposant un regard juste et équilibré sur les réalités auxquelles sont confrontés les hommes (superstition, maléfices, dépression, suicide, etc. ). S'appuyant sur de nombreux témoignages tirés de son expérience, l'auteur suggère des éléments concrets pour distinguer entre une influence réelle du malin et ce qui relève de la maladie ou de nos propres peurs. Il donne des conseils pratiques et indique quelques prières de libération.



Traleg Kyabgon - Karma artwork Karma

Traleg Kyabgon
Genre: Buddhism
Price: $19.99
Publish Date: June 30, 2015
Publisher: Shambhala
Seller: Penguin Random House Canada

The Buddha’s teaching on karma (literally, "action") is nothing other than his compassionate explanation of the way things are: our thoughts and actions determine our future, and therefore we ourselves are largely responsible for the way our lives unfold. Yet this supremely useful teaching is often ignored due to the misconceptions about it that abound in popular culture, especially oversimplifications that make it seem like something not to be taken seriously. Karma is not simple, as Traleg Kyabgon shows, and it’s to be taken very seriously indeed. He cuts through the persistent illusions we cling to about karma to show what it really is—the mechanics of why we suffer and how we can make the suffering end. He explains how a realistic understanding of karma is indispensable to Buddhist practice, how it provides a foundation for a moral life, and how understanding it can have a transformative effect on the way we relate to our thoughts and feelings and to those around us.

God is about to release into the earth a powerful increase of the apostolic and prophetic anointings, and restore the apostolic nature of the church itself! Every Christian needs to prayerfully consider the message of this book, and hear what the Spirit is saying to the church. Things are changing, and God is about to act again in history. The Apostolic Revelation unveils a series of dynamic concepts that are crucial to the life of the church and the restoration of its apostolic power. It establishes benchmarks for the apostolic ministry, and gives definition and substance to the new apostolic wineskin of the church. Here is a revelation of apostolic methods, and God's heart for the church and its leadership. In this study, today's apostolic message is harmonised with and grounded in the apostolic revelation of Christ given to Paul, the apostle to the Gentiles. This work is the result of 13 years of inquiry, searching the mind of the Spirit regarding the place of apostles today, and seeking to understand what it means for the church to be the mature apostolic church prepared for the coming of Christ. Apostolic grace is for every believer. This book seeks to equip you to receive a greater grace, and prepare you for the astounding days ahead. C. Peter Wagner said "After reading The Apostolic Revelation, I want to congratulate you for it. It is a brilliant book. I would not hesitate to classify it as the premier biblical theology of the apostolic movement. This book ranks up there with the very best of the exploding literature on the subject."

Peter Enns - The Bible Tells Me So artwork The Bible Tells Me So
Why Defending Scripture Has Made Us Unable to Read It
Peter Enns
Genre: Christianity
Price: $11.99
Publish Date: September 09, 2014
Publisher: HarperOne
Seller: Harper Collins Canada Limited

The controversial Bible scholar and author of The Evolution of Adam recounts his transformative spiritual journey in which he discovered a new, more honest way to love and appreciate God’s Word. Trained as an evangelical Bible scholar, Peter Enns loved the Scriptures and shared his devotion, teaching at Westminster Theological Seminary. But the further he studied the Bible, the more he found himself confronted by questions that could neither be answered within the rigid framework of his religious instruction or accepted among the conservative evangelical community. Rejecting the increasingly complicated intellectual games used by conservative Christians to “protect” the Bible, Enns was conflicted. Is this what God really requires? How could God’s plan for divine inspiration mean ignoring what is really written in the Bible? These questions eventually cost Enns his job—but they also opened a new spiritual path for him to follow. The Bible Tells Me So chronicles Enns’s spiritual odyssey, how he came to see beyond restrictive doctrine and learned to embrace God’s Word as it is actually written. As he explores questions progressive evangelical readers of Scripture commonly face yet fear voicing, Enns reveals that they are the very questions that God wants us to consider—the essence of our spiritual study.
