Word Of Honor
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!

Every Thought Captive
$29.99Discover the biblical, neurological, and emotional keys to transforming destructive patterns of thinking into a renewed mind–one thought at a time.
Whether we wrestle with anxiety, harmful thoughts about ourselves, or mental spirals that hold us back from spiritual growth and healthy relationships, many of us wish we could control our thoughts rather than let them control us.
As the senior pastor of one of the largest churches in America, bestselling author Kyle Idleman has seen the power of right thinking transform lives, including his own. In Every Thought Captive, Kyle points us to the tools we need to get our thoughts into submission so we can live a fuller and more joy-filled life. If you feel frustrated and discouraged in your battle to take control of your thoughts, this biblically rich, practical book will help you:
*Learn to identify the five thinking patterns that sabotage your life and relationship with God
*Encourage your brain’s neural network to develop new ways of thinking that are consistent with your values
*Start getting “unstuck” immediately as you implement simple but profound practices like “Win the Morning” and “Say It Out Loud”
*Understand what transformed thinking looks like in the unique context of your life
What you think about creates your attitudes, governs your emotions, determines your behavior, shapes your relationships, and ultimately defines your life. But armed with God’s wisdom and fresh truth about brain health, you can take control over your thoughts and embrace the full and flourishing life you long for.
