| "A serene scene with a boats afloat on glass-like still water. So soothing, relaxing to look at. It puts you in a calm state of mind, and make a retreat in a picture. It has the message: ""True silence is the rest of the mind; it is to the spirit what sleep is to the body, nourishment and refreshment."" - Sir William Penn. A handsome photo have a black-bordered mat with glass within a wide, distressed wood frame that is flecked with gold bead accents. 19"" x 19""." |

| Reclaim the strength and adventure of manhood. Men today have locked horns with their toughest issue: reclaiming the full potential of manhood. But in the midst of the excitement-the meetings, rallies, seminars, and high-fives--is something vital missing? What gives manhood definition and meaning?In The Silence Of Adam, Dr. Larry Crabb and his colleagues, biblical scholar Don Hudson and counselor Al Andrews, offer a fresh look at how God designed men. They draw from neglected biblical data and their own professional experience to help us explore:* manhood's lost vision* the problems of masculine community* the power of mentoring relationshipsThe Silence Of Adam deals thoughtfully and honestly with men's ongoing struggles and exposes the difficulties they have in relationships. It presents the rich calling men have to reveal God in ways uniquely masculine. And it summons them beyond their paralyzing fear of failure to bold risk-taking, action, deep spirituality, and full-hearted living. |

| God has remained silent now for almost two thousand years. No new prophets have arisen and the voice of God has not orally spoken since He spoke to His Beloved Son. Why?Sir Robert Anderson approaches this problem with his usual methodical and complete investigation and fidings. God is not reavealing any new truths, because the Scriptures are already complete; and God has said all He intends to say to this present generation. God has closed His revelation to man in the Bible in spite of the claims of those who would have us believe otherwise."There is no new thing under the sun," cried Solomon in Ecclesiastes. Yet, our generation cries out that there is new "revelation" from God and that the authority of Bible needs to be supplemented with the teachings of these new "prophets of God." The last hundred years have produced several different "prophets" that have introduced supposedly new revelations from the Heavenly Father. Strangely, however, each of the new prophets has introduced revelation that differs from that which the Bible states God has already revealed.Though written many years ago, the arguments and facts revealed here are still timely and much needed. As long as the Lord Jesus delays His return, there will continue to be the rise of false prophets, and there will be the continued need of this book: that we may KNOW that God has already spoken, and that revelation is complete. |

| In this moving collection of writings from his final year in this world, we hear John Paul II's voice again as he calls us to build a society that recognizes universal human rights, to listen to our neighbors' cry for help, to build bridges and to share in one another's gifts. Also included here is the beloved pontiff's "Spiritual Testament" in its entirety."The light and strength of the Risen Christ shone out in the Church from that sort of 'last Mass' that Pope John Paul II celebrated in his agony, which culminated in the 'Amen' of a life entirely offered, through the Immaculate Heart of Mary, for the world's salvation."Pope Benedict XVIThis anthology of the pope's words calls all to holiness, urges the world not to be afraid, and emphasizes our obligation to stand up for human rights. Other themes in homilies, letters to priests, and addresses to youth, include the importance of the Eucharist and devotion to Mary as mainstays on the spiritual journey. This small book gives us an inside look at the "Spiritual Testament" of John Paul II, beginning with the 1979 version with updates through the year 2000. In the testament, the pope considers his life and work with love and humility "I thank everyone. I ask forgiveness of everyone. I also ask for prayers, so that God's mercy may prove greater than my own weakness and unworthiness." Opened to any page, this would be an inspiration for both individuals and small groups. |

| Almost 200,000 couples in America each year suffer through the tragedy of miscarriage. And that statistic only tells us about first trimester miscarriages. The emotional pain of longer-term miscarriages, and the untold numbers of mothers and fathers who keep silent about their hurt, make this form of child loss especially cruel.But in Silent Grief, author Clara Hinton brings a clear message of hope through the cold mourning. Writing of her own grief, and interviewing scores of women and men, she offers not pat answers, but instead shows us this: You are not alone. Additionally, the author touches the tears of other forms of child loss: stillbirth, missing children, and adult children who succumb to accident or illness.The moving, honest responses to these interviews tells the reader that through the tears and rage and awful silence, God still loves us and knows our children intimately. King David knew this. He knew that one day he would be reunited with his child. |

| Like poor driving, legalism is the 'other guy's' problem-the idiot is always in the other car. Crosby delivers a powerful punch in this expose on legalism as he shows that is a problem for all of us. It is a silent killer and the author seeks to expose all of its treacherous tentacles. Legal and performance-based religion is the most prevalent, unrecognized, and deleterious malady affecting the individual believer and the Church universal. Crosby exposes the philosophical and practical roots of legal, performance-based religion as well as its subtle influences. Readers will be equipped to not only recognize the problem but to avail themselves of appropriate remedies to free themselves from legalism's infectious disease. |
