You’re exhausted. As you see your time and joy being spent on something that isn’t going the way you planned… some days you wonder if it’d just be better to quit.
Whether it’s now or later, we’re all faced with a choice between good and easy, between continuing on through difficulty or giving up. When that day comes, what will you choose?
Doug Gehman observed firsthand how God used one man’s relentless perseverance to change a country, and it changed him. In this book he shares dozens of stories of ordinary people who did extraordinary things for the kingdom of God because they simply kept going—through pain, discouragement, loss, and failure. He’ll teach you how to cultivate a gritty perseverance that counts the cost and follows through. Become a person of courage and commitment. It’ll cost you dearly, but it will change your life forever.

In our missionary work in Argentina, we realized we needed to produce a material for children that would be fun and also useful as a teaching tool concerning values that would help support the family. We chose 12 values, I wrote about them, and an Argentine artist drew the pictures, my son designed it and then we translated the material from Spanish to English. So… we would like this material to be available to whoever would like to have it photocopied and printed for distribution, at no cost to the children. – Evelyn Saint Jiménez

En nuestra tarea misionera en Argentina, nos dimos cuenta que necesitábamos producir un material para niños que sería divertido y también útil como una herramienta de enseñanza respecto a los valores que ayudarían a apoyar la familia. Elegimos 12 valores, escribí al respecto, un artista argentina hizo las ilustraciones. Mi hijo lo diseñó, y también traducimos el material de español al inglés. Así que, nos gustaría que este material esté disponible a quien quiera fotocopiarlo e imprimirlo para su distribución. Sin costo para los niños. – Evelyn Saint Jiménez.

There is a cry for super-heroes to come and change the world! The great desire for super heroic intervention is everywhere!

Why God Thinks He Can Use You explores God’s intention to use everyone all the time everywhere to advance His Kingdom and do good in the world. Each chapter unpacks how a supernatural interactive God invests Himself in His People to become change agents of hope in a beleaguered world.

White Picket Fences follows the adventures of a Mennonite boy, from sheltered origins in eastern Pennsylvania’s Anabaptist community, to a career that takes his family around the world. Alternately hilarious and poignant, this engaging self-portrait immerses the reader in pervasive religious tradition, teenage rebellion, and devastating family tragedy. Set against the backdrop of world events, White Picket Fences travels through one hundred years of family history, from the early 1900s to the present day, a story as close to home as the Wright brothers’ first flight and as far away as the Vietnam War. White Picket Fences is an earthy, honest and sometimes excruciating account of Christian faith lived in the real world. In the end, one man’s journey and the family legacy that guided him helps us understand why people of faith hold so tenaciously to their values and why everyone yearns for its fruit: the intimacy of family and that place in our hearts we call home.

This book is about harvest. The harvest metaphor in the New Testament originated with Jesus. He talked about harvest a lot, using illustrations from the agrarian culture of which he was a part. Seeds, soil, sunshine, rain, predators, weeds, harvests, and etc. became the analogies Jesus used to illustrate people’s hunger for God. In short, when it came to their response, Jesus said some people are “ripe” (i.e. open and receptive) and others are not (i.e. indifferent or even hostile). “Go to the Ripe Fields First!” develops and explores this harvest idea. Using examples of real “harvests” from around the world –China, Guatemala, India, Korea, Sri Lanka and more – where thousands, sometimes millions of people have given their allegiance to Jesus Christ, this book explores both the theology of harvest (what the Bible says about the subject) and the sociological implications (what causes people to become receptive or remain resistant to the Christian message). “Go to the Ripe Fields First!” explores the spiritual (prayer and witness) and the natural (war, racism, natural disasters, poverty) influences that lead people to become hungry for God, and makes a case for gracious but unapologetic focus on them.

If you are middle age and beyond, you need to think about the kind of old person you will be because you will be one before you know it. The time to start is now, well before you reach 65 years of age. If you are already 65 or over it is not too late to change. Every day 10,000 people in the US turn 65. They may have plans for doing things, but most are without a paradigm for being content if they do not have the financial means or health to do them. Using humorous quotes, antidotes and illustrations throughout the text, the author draws from a variety of disciplines to present a DIY paradigm for contentment in one’s old age. In this book contentment is presented as a product of the kind of person you are rather than a bi-product of what you do or the circumstances you are in. This book deals with writing the rest of one’s life story from your age today, the end of one’s life story (facing death and beyond), and putting meaning to one’s life story. Regardless of the circumstances, your life can have meaning and end well by adopting this paradigm.

The church in Africa is growing faster in sheer numbers than in any other place or time in the history of Christianity. With two-thirds of sub-Saharan Africa professing to be Christian it should be a concern to all Christians that the biblical worldview has had little impact on the shaping of contemporary African culture. In this book Jack Chalk analyses the belief systems of the worldviews that are based on Christianity and African Traditional Religion. The analysis, conclusion and recommendations are presented with the view to helping the church in Africa deal with syncretism and the effect it has on the beliefs and practices of its members.

Woe is inevitable when ungodliness is the law of the land. This book will help Christians live in an ungodly world that brings woe upon itself and woe upon Christians for not conforming to it. Helpful guidance is given for understanding this present world and how to overcome it by living like Jesus Christ.
Living right requires seeing the world in the right way from a biblical worldview. Living right in this world of woe requires knowing God’s will as He guides us through these perilous times. The history of the world is traced from the biblical origin of the world’s culture to how philosophy and science has lead the West away from God. A description of today’s Western culture that brings on the woe is presented. Finally, the Sermon on the Mount is used as a guide for being right and doing right in the home and in society as we live right in a world of woe.

On October 8, 1908, Mordecai Brown clutched a half-dozen notes inside his coat pocket. The message of each was clear: We’ll kill you if you pitch and beat the Giants. A black handprint marked each note, the signature of the Italian Mafia.
Mordecai Brown—dubbed “Three Finger” because of a childhood farm injury—was the dominant pitcher for the great Chicago Cubs team of the early twentieth century, a team that from 1906 through 1910 was arguably the best in baseball history. Brown’s handicap enabled him to throw pitches with an unconventional movement that left batters bewildered—the curve ball that Ty Cobb once called “the most devastating” he had ever faced.
How Brown responded to the Mafia’s threats in 1908 mirrored the way he took life in general: with unflappable courage and resolve. Telling his story for the first time, Cindy Thomson and Scott Brown trail Mordecai from the Indiana countryside to the coal mines, from semipro ball to the Majors, from the World Series mound back down to the Minors. Along the way they retrieve the lost lore of one of baseball’s greatest pitchers—and chronicle one man’s determination to reach a dream that most believed was unreachable.

by Esther Ahmad
If you truly love Allah, you will die for him.
Your death will mean much reward for you and your family in heaven.
Only death will prove your love.
It was the final test. A chance to win not only the love of Allah, but the love of her father―something she had never been able to earn. Esther took a deep breath and raised her hand in the air. At the age of eighteen, she had just volunteered to become a suicide bomber.
Defying Jihad is the true story of a girl growing up under radical Islamic rule, trained to believe her ultimate purpose was to serve Allah by dying as a jihadist. But two nights before she was to leave forever, she had a dream . . . one that would change the course of her destiny.
Against all odds, Esther became a follower of Jesus―even though leaving Islam meant her death sentence. But rather than kill her immediately, Esther’s furious father challenged her to a series of public debates with Muslim scholars: the Bible versus the Quran. If Esther won, she might yet survive. But if the Muslim clerics won, Esther must renounce her Christian faith. For an entire month―if she lived that long―Esther would be brought before the mob daily to defend her newfound faith. Would God give her the words to argue against Muslim leaders, former friends, and even her own family?
Defying Jihad is an amazing story of a woman prepared to surrender all for Jesus―and whose life transformed from terror to overwhelming love.
by Esther Ahmad
I am an ex-terrorist.
I raised my hand high to volunteer to become a jihadi fighter, but then I met Jesus . . .
and that changed everything.
Born the unwanted third daughter, Esther Ahmad grew up Muslim in Pakistan. Her faith and country drove every aspect of her first 18 years, from what she wore and what she ate to her prospects for work and marriage, even to the manner of her death. Unveiled chronicles Esther’s conversion to Christianity and escape from radical Islam. Chapter by chapter, Esther lays out the lies of the Qur’an and holds them against the truths she found in the Bible. As she examines the differences between the Muslim and Christian scriptures, she reveals how she found her true identity as she journeyed from unwanted daughter to cherished child of God, from being marked by impurity to taking on the purity of Christ, and from being enslaved to rote prayer to becoming free in a true relationship with God. Esther’s white-knuckle journey will open your eyes to the plight of women around the world and inspire you to find the courage you need to speak the hope of Christ into the lives of those who still live behind the veil.

Ox Carts or Priests’ Shoulders? is a thought-provoking exposition of local church government as revealed in the New Testament. Ox carts are the world’s way of operating and carrying a holy object. Priests’ shoulders are Christ’s way. In this study you will see how the Church in the second century embraced the world’s way of operating and how, since the reformations of the 16th century the Church, in slow stages, has been returning to Christ’s Apostolic pattern. You will also see that there remain other “ox carts” that need to be exposed and eradicated, so that the Church, Christ’s Bride, becomes “a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle.” (Ephesians 5:27) Purchase here

Satan has strategies that he has used for millennia, yet many of us don’t always see him at work. He works behind the scenes, and he likes to do all he can to destroy God’s original designs. Every day, he engages us in spiritual warfare—whether we realize it or not—yet Christ promised us a resounding victory. Son of a Gunner examines scripture to uncover the enemy’s schemes, and it exposes the tactics he still uses in contemporary life. Author P. David Christensen sheds light on Satan’s manipulations and how they look in modern-day life, explaining how we can put our ultimate trust in God and find the courage in faith to stand up to the advances of the enemy. And by finding parallels in the Bible, we can learn from these biblical examples, identify the satanic strongholds in our lives, and fight the good fight by putting personal trust in Jesus Christ, our champion. Victory is available in Christ alone. Satan does his best to blind us to this truth, using all his tactics and deceptions to build his strongholds of sin. The time is now join Christ in the fight, so grab your sword and join the battle. Purchase Here

We are the Perekotiys, a Ukrainian and American family! We have been entrusted with four beautiful children: Chambers (2013), Lev (2015), Mila (2016), and Remington (2019). Our story began when we met in Ukraine in 2008. After living on the Gulf Coast of Alabama, we packed up our gang in 2018 and moved to Odesa, Ukraine, a beautiful, historic port city on the Black Sea. While visiting family in Alabama in 2022, the full-scale invasion broke out in Ukraine. We decided to remain in the US for the 2022-23 school year while supporting our partners in Ukraine through the War Relief Fund. In August 2023, we launched back overseas to share the Gospel among Ukrainians. We are based out of Bucharest, Romania, where we can serve refugees and be close to the Ukrainian border.
Through the War Relief Fund we have sent medical aid, vehicles, food, and education supplies to those in need. The needs of the vulnerable will only increase as this crisis continues, and we are committed to partnering with our friends and partners to meet those needs. We pray to use these resources to rebuild Ukraine when the war ends.
Our heartbeat has always been caring for the vulnerable and fatherless. Our vision is to see Christ proclaimed as we serve vulnerable children and families with national partners and churches. We also serve the unreached deaf community, and provide training and trauma resources for families and volunteers. Thank you for journeying with us!
