Crossroads: Unexpected Encouragement and Direction in Lot's Story Beyond Brimstone

By Lana Christian

"Why did God protect and preserve Lot? How does Lot's life apply to us? Those questions and more make Lot worth learning about. As we peel away the fire and brimstone event, we learn who Lot is as a person. We see him weather four major crossroads of life. Lot's crossroads, the choices they present, and God's specific messages at each juncture are full of universal truths for everyone. God views crossroads differently than we do. When we see them through His eyes, our view—and our response—shifts. Be prepared to be surprised—in a good was—as you read Lot's story." Available here.

All the Way the Lord Has Led Us

By Joni Moede

"If God is good, why do people get cancer? Why doesn’t God heal everyone? When Paul and Joni Moede’s only son, Michael, was diagnosed with terminal cancer, their family was faced with many challenges and decisions. This book is a testimony of how 'all the way the Lord has led.' A combination of Caring Bridge logs, personal journal entries, and thoughts since Michael’s passing, this is a very real, personal, and honest account of a difficult year. This is a story of God’s faithfulness and tender mercies through pain, shared with the hope that it might help someone else walking a similar road, and glorify the Lord who faithfully leads us."

Simple Things: Becoming A Godly Woman In An Ungodly World

By Suzanne Schaffer

"We tend to complicate the Christian life. At its heart it's loving God and loving people. The easiest way to do this is to be Christ-like in all we do. Simple Things explores how to do this in daily life, in our relationships, online interactions, and at home. Through wit and wisdom, Simple Things will nudge you closer to your creator."
