Reluctant Caregiver : Navigating The Turmoil Of The Sandwich Generation
$17.99
Some say courage is fear that has said its prayers.
Bobbi may be married with two grown children, but the child inside still fears and resents the attacks and tirades of her ninety-year-old mother, now afflicted with dementia. While still a teenager, Bobbi was disowned by her mother. How can she now take on the role of caregiver?
Bobbi seeks escape from the task, but gradually realizes that Jesus has a greater goal in mind than teaching her to be a caregiver. Crisis after crisis forces Bobbi to turn to Jesus for help, all the while testing to see if his promises can be taken literally. Is he in charge? Will he work things out? Is his plan perfect?
Nancy’s erratic behaviour and moods punctuate the ensuing year. Stripped of any illusion that she can cope on her own, Bobbi finds her faith rewarded in unpredictable ways. Her journey of anxiety and failure also comes with insights and small but important victories. She tells the story candidly, often humorously, as she comes to a deeper understanding of dementia, her mother, and most of all, Jesus.
Read and weep. Laugh and pray. Gain courage and perspective of your own!

Time Of The Signs
$16.99“What will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?” –Matthew 24:3
The disciples could not wait. Christ had said He would bring an end to human rule and establish His kingdom. But when? Eager to learn how the future would unfold, they asked Him about the signs of His coming and the end times. What should they expect to take place?
In The Time of the Signs, pastor Barry Stagner explores the events that will precede Christ’s return. As he describes Earth’s final days, he answers the many questions people ask, including:
*Why is the rebirth of Israel the most significant sign that the end times are near?
*What other important clues, evident today, reveal the closeness of the tribulation and Christ’s return?
*Where does the rapture fit in the chronology of all that will occur in the last days?
*After Christ returns, what is next?
As you study the signs Jesus foretold, you’ll see amazing evidence that we are living in the very time of these signs–and gain a clear understanding of what will happen, and when.

Real Bad Guys
$18.99With the help of a rogues’ gallery of cartoonish villains, young readers will learn that all people have some bad inside of them (where it counts) and that Jesus, the only Real Good Guy, can redeem them from their sin.
Even young children can spot a bad guy when they see one. In most fairy tales, comic books, and cartoons, the lines between good and evil are drawn in broad strokes. After all, if it looks like a bad guy and talks like a bad guy. . .
But according to God, only what’s inside of each person’s heart counts. By that measure, we’re all Real Bad Guys in need of Jesus, the only Real Good Guy to save us.
In Real Bad Guys, children will meet Millie, an everyday kid who learns from a who’s-who of stereotypical hoodlums that everybody sins and has fallen short of God’s standard for goodness. Also, because we can’t see the condition of people’s hearts, we can’t judge them by their appearance.
Filled with fun and humor, Real Bad Guys cleverly and effectively explains the problem of sin and its solution to children ages eight and up.

Eclipse Of God
$18.99Is God More Tolerant than He Used to Be?
Just as the moon obscures the sun’s light during an eclipse, today’s radical secularism has obscured the light of God. But God’s light still shines–and He is calling us to shine His light in the growing darkness.
In The Eclipse of God, bestselling author Erwin Lutzer exposes our nation’s disastrous efforts to redefine God in its own image. The resulting damage has been so great that confusion about God has even crept into the church. This bold exposition will help you:
*understand society’s attempts to make God inclusive and sin-friendly by exploring the intellectual roots of the present darkness
*renew your faith in God by replacing worldly misperceptions of Him with the biblical truths about His unchanging character
*resist cultural conformity by counting the cost of faith as you shine the gospel’s light with accuracy and grace
Timely and practical, The Eclipse of God will deepen your love for the sovereign God of the Bible and empower you to live and speak as a light for Him in a culture of darkness.
