| Follow Christian singer/songwriter Tammy Trent as she tells of her beautiful love story turned tragic, still pointing to God as the source of all life and hope. Theirs was a fairy-tale romance. Her husband, Trent, was Tammy's best friend and business manager. While vacationing in Jamaica in 2001, a routine free diving excursion in the Blue Lagoon turned drastically tragic when Trent never resurfaced. Unfortunately, the following day's events of 9/11 would create an incredible obstacle to Tammy's and her family's efforts to connect and handle these horrendous events. Tearful prayers pleading with God to make Himself real have been answered, and God is slowly restoring Tammy's joy and hope, as she begins to sing and dance again for Him. |

| God desires to speak to us for fellowship, with the ultimate goal of relationship. Usually God uses a quiet touch to communicate. This quiet touch is what Donna Fitzpatrick refers to as the whispers of God. These whispers give wisdom, direction, and reveal the things God wants to change in our hearts. Yet, if we're waiting for a loudspeaker from heaven we'll miss His quiet touch. Through a combination of Scripture and true-life whisper stories, "...The Whispers of God" encourages that God will speak to every believer.As a mother of eight, Donna writes from a wealth of stories. Believers from all walks and stages in life find themselves captivated and warmed by her down-to-earth manner and easy writing style that tugs at the heart and challenges our faith. Sometimes humorous, sometimes serious, these stories demonstrate the various ways God may choose to speak. Be encouraged to recognize God's voice through these stories, and then experience the thrill of hearing the Lord whisper as He captures teaching moments through everyday experiences.Thought-provoking questions and scriptural answers contained in this book make it perfect for personal use or as a group Bible study. |

| WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO LOVE OTHERS AS OURSELVES?At the heart of Jesus' call to us is a call to love others. But this can be so difficult. For one thing, others are not always very lovable; for another, loving others sometimes gets in the way of our own self-interests. But if we want to follow Jesus, love needs to be our lifestyle, and the way we treat others really does matter. It's not all sacrifice and pain, though. To be in loving relationship with others is to be truly alive --and it's the source of our greatest joy. This study will help you love others the way Jesus desires. You'll learn how to study the Bible as you examine and discuss topics such as:*Loving Others*Loving Our Families*Fellowship with Others*Getting Along with Others*Opposition from Others*Sharing Our Faith with Others*Serving Others.Each chapter has three main sections:*Group Study (materials for a sixty- to ninety-minute small-group Bible study);*Study Resources (notes and comments for use in both group and personal study)*Personal Study (a series of reflection questions for use by group members on their own during the week).Extra help is available at the end of the book in the sections The Art of Leadership (tips on how to lead a small group) and Small Group Leader's Guide (notes on each session).The goal of PILGRIMAGE GUIDES is to understand what it means for us to meet and know Jesus. Through an examination of the spiritual disciplines of Bible study, prayer, and worship, we experience what it means to be a spiritual pilgrim-walking in a new way with God. And we look at how this new way changes the way we view others and live our lives in Christ. |
