"God not only has the whole world in His hands; He's holding the details of your life in His faithful hands as well.
What lies heaviest on your heart as you lay your head on your pillow? Are paralyzing fear and anxiety stealing tomorrow's peace? Listen to this invitation from Jesus: 'Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest' (Matthew 11:28 NIV). Experiencing this kind of rest won't come from escapism, more vacation days, or stuffing our feelings. Jesus Himself provides rest to our weary souls. While He may not always fix everything right away, we can fix our thoughts on His Word. In doing this, we can sleep at night with ease knowing that God has it all under control.
Through the pages of Clear Mind, Peaceful Heart, written by New York Times bestselling author Lysa TerKeurst and her friends at Proverbs 31 Ministries, you will be equipped to:
- Quiet fearful and anxious thoughts that always seem to be the loudest before bedtime by incorporating the Bible into your nightly routine
- Find relief from the stress of daily obligations and pressures through 50 encouraging devotions and guided prayers written by women like you
- Release the heaviness you feel about hard situations in your life so you can wake up refreshed and walk into the next day with courage
We may feel afraid, but we don't have to live afraid. Let this devotional help you fall asleep tonight with a clear mind and a peaceful heart."
"Much of what men and women both think about women, gender differences, and cultural norms is remarkably under-processed. Without the benefit of intentional conversation about the barriers women face, most women are left to enter the world of leadership with inadequate awareness and resources. The acknowledgement of a woman's right to leadership is only the first step. We have not yet addressed the very common barriers women face when they enter the leadership arena, nor have we explored practical solutions to help them navigate those barriers so they can lead effectively.
Women need to know that unrealistic optimism is a recipe for failure. Simply by acknowledging constraints to success, then exploring strategies to enhance leadership skills, we can help women take greater authority over their call to live out of a God-given identity and giftedness.
When Women Lead is for men and women who advocate for female leadership within the Church. When women are educated about the challenges they face and are given resources to navigate beyond those challenges, their opportunity for success in ministry increases dramatically. The purpose of this book is to describe those challenges, explore practical solutions, and equip women to lead successfully and hopefully.
While it is an excellent resource for women ready to enter leadership with more confidence and authority, it's also perfect for denominational leaders charged with raising up women called to leadership roles, for lay leaders who want to better understand the dynamics at work when the pastor is a woman, and for husbands, parents, and friends who desperately want to support women in their life who are living out what God has given them to do.
What if the Kingdom of God is straining toward the day when all God's people are deployed in the work of the Great Commission? Women are already leading powerful movements around the world. The evangelistic explosion being documented in many closed countries is largely due to the leadership of women. Missionaries tell of the critical role of women in introducing the gospel to new groups. This book can help to equip a new generation of women to rise up with tools in hand to welcome and advance God's Kingdom on earth.

"This gripping memoir about what it means to face uncertainty details the plans Janine had for her family and her life that were gutted by her then 10-year-old son Mason's diagnosis of a cancerous brain tumor, only to be followed by her own cancer diagnosis.
All Janine Urbaniak Reid ever wanted was for everyone she loved to be okay so she might relax and maybe be happy. Her life strategy was simple: do everything right. This included trying to be the perfect mother to her three kids so they would never experience the kind of pain she pretended not to feel growing up. What she didn't expect was the chaos of an out-of-control life that begins when her young son's hand begins to shake and he is diagnosed with a brain tumor at age 10.
This moving memoir is the story of Janine's reluctant journey beyond easy answers and platitudes. She searches for a source of strength bigger than her circumstances, only to have her circumstances become even thornier when she is diagnosed with breast cancer. Drawn deeply and against her will into herself, she discovers hidden reserves of strength, humor, and a no-matter-what faith that looks nothing like she thought it would. The Opposite of Certainty is:
- Brilliant, breathtakingly honest, and sometimes very funny account of marriage, motherhood, and the unfathomable salvation we find in God
- An unvarnished look at defying the gravity of challenging life circumstances
- The recognition that anyone can tap a source of strength inside themselves to walk through the impossible
Beautifully written and deeply hopeful, Janine shows us how we can come through impossible times transformed and yet more ourselves than we've ever allowed ourselves to be."
"Transform your life when you discover the key to true and lasting happiness…embracing a life a gratitude.
Growing Grateful helps you grab hold of a happy and peaceful life with 101 devotional meditations on the joy of being grateful even in the hardest times.
Life does not always go how we dreamed it would. People disappoint us or betray us, jobs that we counted on disappear, financial troubles happen, health issues blindside us. It is so easy to fixate on what we don't have, what went wrong, and how life is unfair. We begin to let anger, bitterness, regret, or frustration rule our lives. But there is another way to live that frees us to embrace the blessings in our lives and find true and lasting joy-gratitude.
In Growing Grateful, author Mary A. Kassian guides you through 101 daily devotions on how the habit of gratitude will foster happiness in your life no matter what the day holds-the kind of happy that blooms in every season along the pathway of life's ups and downs. Each daily entry in this beautiful and inspiring book gives you a meaningful Bible verse, a short entry that helps you reflect on your own attitude of gratitude, and a meditation with reflection questions to consider or to write about in your journal.
In Growing Grateful you will learn how to:
- Get back to the basics of gratitude
- Be grateful for God's friendship
- Cultivate a closer relationship with God
- Be thankful despite your circumstances
- Be grateful that God delights in you
- Pursue a joyful life

Growing Grateful will help you discover that, in good times and bad, being a grateful person can lead you to a life of lasting satisfaction."
