She offers clarity about issues of faith that have been distorted by bad teaching, like God’s readiness to provide generously for all his people. She brings refreshing clarity to questions about self-esteem (Yes! You need it!) and how it differs from lack of humility.

In this book, she extends her knowledge to any believer who wants to be faithful in serving friends and strangers with God’s good care.

Faithful in Small Things: How God Grew a Ministry from One Home to Serve 104 Nations

Watch God Turn Adversity to Mission! In this uplifting true story, follow Joeth Strickland as she overcomes childhood disabilities, endures 19 surgeries after a catastrophic collision with an 18-wheeler … and founds a ministry that today engages hundreds of Christians each year to support missions in 104 countries. “Satan keeps trying to take me out,” Joeth says, and she keeps persevering. As God grew her resources from a few boxes in the breezeway of her home to a 17,000 square foot warehouse, she learned over and over that “If it’s God’s will, it’s God’s bill.” She also came to trust that what’s given for God will be needed by God, however odd the gift seems. So a barrel full of deep sea fishing line eventually helped people in Suriname to fish for food and 13 full pallets of neckties yielded tourniquets for the Ukraine war. Joeth’s life and ministry have been fueled by miracles: the miracle of overcoming infertility, her miraculous survival of a crash that should have killed her on the spot, the miraculous opportunities she has found to meet needs in hundreds of countries worldwide. She has seen God answer prayers for everything from a needed forklift to the salvation of volunteers. Her resilient response to setbacks keeps her driving toward the prize she sees in Jesus, and she’s ready to jump into any opportunity God places before her. She is firmly committed to global missions as a result of her own history as a child whose parents were led to Christ by missionaries while living overseas. You’ll be inspired as you see God work through injury, financial hardship, and the oddest of obstructions as Joeth keeps Crossing All Borders to serve God.

The Miracles of Jesus Christ and His Apostles: Divine Miracles with a Divine Purpose

In John 21:25, the writer and youngest Apostle of the twelve reminds us: the miraculous works of Jesus Christ in his thirty-three prolific years on Earth are too numerous to be counted. 'If every one of them were written down, I suppose that even the whole world would not have room for the books that would be written,' states the New International Version of John's verse. In The Miracles of Jesus Christ and His Apostles in the Bible: Divine Miracles with a Divine Purpose, pastor and author Alfred Cherubim takes a chronological look at the thirty-seven miracles of Jesus Christ recorded in the New Testament, throughout the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. Beginning with the wedding feast in Cana where Jesus turned the water into wine and ending with His second catch of fish at the Sea of Tiberias, Cherubim provides the beloved Bible verses that describe each supernatural act of the Messiah. One by one, in a growing crescendo, the miracles of Jesus unfold before readers' eyes and hearts, only to be followed by nineteen additional divine acts performed by His disciples-ordinary men aside from their association and communion with Jesus. From Peter walking on water (Matthew 14:28-31) to Paul healing the sick on the island of Malta (Acts 28:9-10), Cherubim tells the reader to remember: in the end, all miracles are God's miracles. As such, all are signs-accompanied by a message-that either meet a dire human need or confirm Jesus' identity and authority as the Son of God. The author reminds the reader that all Jesus' wondrous acts and those of His Apostles, although singular and extraordinary, exist for one divine reason. In the end, all miracles direct us to behold God's love, power, glory, and mercy, as they carry the ultimate message of eternal salvation to the beholder.

Don’t Die Ugly: Live Beautifully

Lynn Soles made her career about creating beauty – as an artist, art teacher, tattoo artist and owner of a “permanent beauty” clinic. Then her doctors told her she had cancer. She had to choose: Die soon and ugly from cancer or enter a long course of treatments that might allow her to regain the life she’d known. This remarkable memoir and guidebook, written in the course of her first year of treatment, gives real-life guidance for best supporting others through long-term illnesses and surgeries. Practical tips describe: - how a cancer friend is different from other friends; - things to say (and things never to say!) to your friend in treatment; - essential cancer self-care tips for the habitual Superwoman; - specific ways to ask for and give help to a person exhausted by cancer treatments. You’ll laugh with Lynn as she and her family adjust to the changes treatment causes. You’ll be amazed by her contractor husband’s commitment to support her–even applying her eyelashes to the sounds of crooner Dean Martin. You’ll sense her longing as family holiday traditions, client care schedules, and the most mundane of daily tasks are revised to accommodate her chemotherapy-induced exhaustion. You’ll marvel at the perseverance cancer treatment can teach and learn to respect the times when a patient needs to rest in the “cancer cocoon.” Hollywood stars rely on beauty professionals like Lynn to keep them physically beautiful right to the day their body is viewed in its coffin. Lynn’s cancer journey will inspire you to reconsider whether your hope rests in the beautiful things of this world that will fade away, and to rethink what it means to leave a beautiful, eternal Christian legacy.

From Jesus ‘til Now: A Timeline of Captivating Stories That Lead You Inside Church History

A masterful overview of the Big “C” Church from the birth of Jesus until today. Brief stories bring to life the people of the early Christian church and the communities in which Christianity struggled and grew. You’ll watch a widow hide her son’s clothing so he can’t go out and get himself martyred. You’ll contemplate traveling as Christian missionaries to England -- the “world’s end.” You’ll go from the word-of-mouth beginnings of Christianity to times when printed Bibles made God’s Word readily available. You’ll see quiet worship in homes and monasteries and also see the public impact of Christian leaders like John Calvin, William Tyndale, and John Knox. You’ll watch as Martin Luther’s Reformation unintentionally unfolds in the continuing division, creating what are now hundreds of Protestant Christian denominations. Each chapter focuses on roughly one century in the life of the Christian church, providing an even-handed view of Catholicism, Orthodox Christianity, and Protestant denominations. Discussion questions at the end of each chapter offer opportunities to reflect on parallels in contemporary Christian church life, considerations from a relevant Bible passage, and opportunities for application. This is an excellent text for a half-year study group. Just when you think history is boring, From Jesus ’Til Now captivates you and draws you into “His Story.”
