Knowing what the Bible says about fear doesn’t always help us feel less anxious. Prayer does not always help either. This book explores the spiritual practices and scriptures that can counteract how anxiety works in the brain. When facing anxiety, some forms of prayer are more helpful than others for each person. This is true both spiritually and psychologically. But here’s help in discerning which practices are most useful in dealing with immediate anxiety, other practices for dealing with root causes, and further suggestions that promote long-term freedom from anxiety’s debilitating effects. These practices can deepen our relationship with God and help reduce anxiety at the same time. Anxiety Transformed: Prayer that Brings Enduring Change brings together insights from spiritual formation, psychotherapy, and neuroscience, as well as the author's personal journey with God through periods of anxiety. These concepts are integrated into a model of life-changing spiritual and psychological transformation.
Orphaned at birth in South Korea, challenged with medical and developmental complications, and unadopted by age three, Min Soo’s hope of finding a home seems lost.
But God chooses a family on the other side of the world who opens their home to this whirlwind of a child. Although Min Soo is dearly loved, his constant challenges tax his adoptive parents to the core.
When he’s old enough to understand, Min Soo wonders if God has a purpose for “a child in a man’s body.” He comes to grips with the multiple obstacles he faces—except one. Then a devastating diagnosis hits! How will Min Soo overcome the impossible? Does God still have a purpose for his broken life? And will God grant him the “most desire” of his heart?
Despite his many struggles, Min Soo has accomplished an amazing feat by writing his story. And his unique sense of humor shines throughout the pages of A Home for Min Soo: Putting Together the Pieces of My Life, bringing laughter as he and his family relay his numerous antics. Yet you’ll be moved by the deep truths he shares.
Min Soo hopes—through reading his story—you’ll discover it’s possible to survive insurmountable odds and find purpose in the pieces of your life.
Second in the series of The Hardy Boys detective/adventure series, The House on the Cliff continues the exciting adventures of two young budding detectives in this wildly popular series.
Frank and Joe Hardy, sons of the world renowned detective Fenton Hardy, investigate a mysterious old house high on the cliffs above Barmet Bay when they are frightened off by a scream. During a storm they seek refuge in the house, only to return to their motorcycles now empty tool boxes! The boys return to the apparently haunted house when they make a connection between the place and a smuggling case their father is working on. When their father goes missing, they have to investigate the caves beneath the house and confront the smugglers face to face.
In 1927 the first three Hardy Boys books were published and they entered the Public Domain on January 1, 2023. I took the opportunity to record all three books and will be releasing the unabridged recordings this year. Can’t wait for you to share them with your kids like I did with mine so many years ago …
Here’s a brief outline of this story:
Frank and Joe Hardy, sons of the world famous detective Fenton Hardy, tackle their first case as budding detectives themselves. Although still in High School, the boys experience exciting chases, hold ups, robberies, clues, and false accusations; they winnow through mounds of evidence and conflicting stories, get some assistance from their famous father, and search and climb till they find the answer to the mystery of The Tower Treasure!
In this unabridged recording of the third original 1927 edition of the Hardy Boys Detective story The Secret of the Old Mill, brothers Frank and Joe Hardy exchange some one-dollar bills for a five-dollar bill with a stranger at the train station.
Later, when they try to use the bill to buy some pie plates, they are told the five is a counterfeit!
Frank’s girlfriend, Callie Shaw’s cousin Pollie, accepts a counterfeit fifty from a customer, and the Hardy Boys’ mother does the same when selling an old carpet!
During their investigation of the source of the counterfeit bills, the Hardy boys and their high school chums are plunged into peril of the most unexpected kind.
While visiting an old mill, hostile scenes convince the Hardys that something is going on. Putting two and two together, they deduce that the counterfeit money and the mill may be connected. A series of dangerous investigations ensues!

It is intended to show that a lad who makes up his mind firmly and resolutely will rise in life, and he who is prepared to face toil and ridicule and hardship to carry out his determination, is sure to succeed. The hero of the story is a typical British boy; dogged, earnest, generous, and though “shame-faced” to a degree, is ready to face death in the discharge of duty. This hero, an orphan named Jack Simpson, at the age of about 10, begins work in the coal mines. Full of excitement, the book relays a strike against the mine owners, a riot against the youth of the town and one catastrophe after another, culminating in a deadly explosion. Our maturing hero discovers a way to escape from certain death in the mine and assumes the most dangerous actions needed to save himself and others. The author stated that this book was his own personal favorite, and the best among his books for boys.

Children are, on the whole, very much alike everywhere, and you four lads fairly represent multitudes. It will make me happy to think that my simple narrative may lead some of these to observe…how good and pleasant a thing it is when brethren dwell together in unity, under the eye of parental love.”
