BLESS YOU, by Warren W. Wiersbe who is best known as a Bible teacher,
author and conference speaker. Now retired, he previously served as senior
pastor of Moody Memorial Church in Chicago and general director and Bible
teacher for the BACK TO THE BIBLE broadcast.
Are you a channel of God’s Blessing? “We are blessed that we might be a
blessing; we are channels of God’s blessing, not reservoirs,” explains the
author. “If we determine that we want to be a blessing and not just get a
blessing, then the Lord will help us translate learning into living, and blessings
will be ours to share.”
THE HIDDEN FLAME, by Davis Bunn & Janette Oke
In the first-century Judea, the followers of the Way have burgeoned into a
vibrant, growing community that cannot be ignored. Jerusalem is in turmoil as
its religious leaders on one side, and their Roman rulers on the other, conspire
to stamp out the fledgling Church. And Abigail, who thought she had finally
found home and safety, is caught between the opposing forces.
Two suitors desire the lovely Abigail’s hand in marriage. But her heart has
been captured by neither of these. Will her faith and courage survive
heartbreak beyond comprehension as the followers face a gathering storm of
persecution they never could have foreseen?
BEVERLY LEWIS BOOKS
We recently received a generous donation of Beverly Lewis’ books for your
reading pleasure. They can be found to the right of the books on display
under “Inspirational Reading.”
Lewis continues to charm her readers with her understanding of the Plain
People, Amish culture, her knack for weaving mystery, romance and spiritual
enlightenment.
Author Beverly Lewis, born in the heart of Pennsylvania Dutch country, fondly
recalls her growing-up years. A keen interest in her mother’s Plain family
heritage has led Beverly to set many of her popular stories in Lancaster
County.
A former schoolteacher and accomplished pianist, Beverly is a member of the
National League of American Pen Women (the Pikes Peak branch). She is the
2003 recipient of the Distinguished Alumnus Award at Evangel University,
Springfield, Missouri. Her blockbuster novels, THE SHUNNING, THE
CONFESSION and THE RECKONING, have each received the Gold Book
Award. Her bestselling novel OCTOBER SON won the Silver Seal in the
Benjamin Franklin Awards, and THE POSTCARD and SANCTUARY (a
collaboration with her husband, David) received Silver Angel Awards, as did
her delightful picture book for all ages,
ANNIKA’S SECRET WISH. Beverly and her husband make their home in the
Colorado foothills.
MAD COWBOY, Howard Lyman’s testimony on The Oprah Winfrey Show
revealed the deadly impact of the livestock industry on our well-being. It not
only led to Oprah’s declaration that she’d never eat a burger again, it sent
shock waves through a concerned and vulnerable public.
A fourth-generation Montana rancher, Lyman investigated the use of
chemicals in agriculture after developing a spinal tumor that nearly paralyzed
him. Now a vegetarian, he blasts through the propaganda of beef and dairy
interests—and the government agencies that protect them—to expose an
animal-based diet as the primary cause of cancer, heart disease, and obesity
in this country. He warns that the livestock industry is repeating the mistakes
that led to Mad Cow disease in England while simultaneously causing serious
damage to the environment.
MAD COWBOY is both an inspirational story of personal transformation and a
convincing call to action for a plant-based diet—for the good of the planet and
the health of us all.
