Freedom at a Price/There IS Greatness in US
Read to learn; read to understand; read to share knowledge. Whatever the reason you read, certainly these books will inspire you with a desire to read more. You may learn something new or see facts that you hadn't heard before. Re-reading stories about historical times may humble you to be grateful about the freedoms we enjoy today or raise your voice to protect the freedoms the people in these books paid a price for. These stories evoke a mantra I could shout from the top of a tall building, "There IS Greatness in US!" Click on the book cover for a Youtube.com read-aloud.
Strong Enough to Last
by David J. Boyd
The Barna group recently released shocking statistics: Less than half of born-again teenagers (44 percent) say they are absolutely committed to the Christian faith. Only one in every three teens (33 percent) say they are likely to continue to participate in church life once they are living on their own. These alarming numbers bring all kinds of questions to mind:
-
What can the church do to develop spiritually strong kids?
-
How can Kids Ministry Leaders work with parents to keep kids in church?
-
What tools will help us provide adequate spiritual training?
With over thirty years of kids ministry experience, David Boyd is a reliable source for answers to questions like these. Based on eight major goals, he provides insight and information on how to help kids become believers who are strong enough to last the most difficult challenges of life.

Risen Motherhood
by Emily Jensen & Laura Wifler
Motherhood is hard. In a world of five-step lists and silver-bullet solutions to become perfect parents, mothers are burdened with mixed messages about who they are and what choices they should make. If you feel pulled between high-fives and hard words, with culture’s solutions only raising more questions, you’re not alone.
But there is hope.
You might think that Scripture doesn’t have much to say about the food you make for breakfast, how you view your postpartum body, or what school choice you make for your children, but a deeper look reveals that the Bible provides the framework for finding answers to your specific questions about modern motherhood.
Emily Jensen and Laura Wifler help you understand and apply the gospel to common issues moms face so you can connect your Sunday morning faith to the Monday morning tantrum.
Discover how closely the gospel connects with today’s motherhood. Join Emily and Laura as they walk through the redemptive story and reveal how the gospel applies to your everyday life, bringing hope, freedom, and joy in every area of motherhood.
