| Do you know a friend or have a spouse who's getting a little older and could use some ribs tickling? Could you use a perspective-altering, shot-in-the-arm about how to look at the minor aches and pains of going over the hill? For some, getting older is definitely not a laughing matter. For Martha Bolton, however, there's one lesson she's learned that makes aging easier-laughter and longevity go hand-in-hand! Like other top Christian humorists such as Barbara Johnson and Patsy Clairmont, Bolton's humor is based in a faith that teaches while it makes you laugh. In Didn't My Skin Used to Fit, the message is that life after forty can be as much fun (even more so) than life before forty. When you can't stop the crow's-feet from walking over your face, it's time to laugh about it. Readers will love Bolton's funny forays into such topics as memory loss, driving difficulties, body changes, hot flashes, and more. |

| You want to lose weight. Sometimes you even manage to shed those pounds. But you always gain them back--and maybe a few extra. Diets treat the symptom and not the problem. Diane Hampton will revolutionize the way you look at food. You can find relief from the power food has over you. This is not a diet. There are no pills, no menus, and no foods to avoid. You won't have to count calories, fat grams, or carbohydrates. You can consume anything you desire and still lose weight: eat sweets, have a dessert, munch on chips and dip whenever you want. This book contains time-tested principles that get results. No diet can promise a consistent loss of 3-4 pounds a week, but this book isn't a diet. It's freedom. Learn to use your body's natural "hungry" and "full" responses. Discover God's meal plan. Then keep the same size for the rest of your life! |

| Diets and diet books have never been more popular. At the same time, recent studies show that Americans have never been more overweight. It's no wonder, then, that women who are trying to lose weight--be it 10 or 100 pounds--are among the most frequently discouraged people around. Every day we are faced with fridge wars, bad mirror moments, diets that don't work, skinny friends who can eat whatever they like, and husbands who reminisce about the size 8 they married. Yet victory can be yours. Increasingly, scientific studies are indicating that in health matters, prayer works--and in The Dieter's Prayer Book, you'll find that daily ounce of spiritual encouragement you need. Not tied to any one particular diet, The Dieter's Prayer Book can be used in conjunction with any healthy-eating program, or on its own. Each day, these upbeat prayers will remind you what really matters, make you feel less alone, and empower you to achieve your goal of healthful living. |

| What led Dietrich Bonhoeffer to his momentous decision to be involved in the plot to assassinate Adolf Hitler on July 20, 1944? What is the relation between his resistance activities and his theological and ethical reflections? Exploring these intriguing and complex relationships in Bonhoeffer's life and thought during the turbulent 1930s and 1940s, Larry Rasmussen characterizes Bonhoeffer's resistance as an enactment of his Christology lived out with utter seriousness. Originally published in 1972 and now updated with a new introduction by the author, Rasmussen's Dietrich Bonhoeffer remains the defining study of Bonhoeffer's views of Jesus Christ, his ethics, and his resistance against Hitler and the Nazi regime. |

| At the time of his execution by the Nazis in 1945, Dietrich Bonhoeffer was not quite forty years old. Yet already his influence as a theologian was felt not only in Germany, but throughout the world. His interactions with the Psalms reveal a passionate heart and brilliant mind grappling with the Bible's eternal truths and their application to human nature and temporal realities.Dietrich Bonhoeffer's Meditations on Psalms is vintage Bonhoeffer: eloquent, incisive, encouraging, challenging. Bonhoeffer invites us to find in the Psalms both a path toward rest in God and a call to Christ-like living and practical action as followers of the Lord Jesus. |

| From his prison cell where he awaited execution for conspiring to assassinate Adolf Hitler, Bonhoeffer wrote ten powerful poems, charged with the white-hot emotions and disarming candor of a man who lived and ultimately died by the truth.Here, laid bare with moving eloquence, is the soul of Dietrich Bonhoeffer, twentieth-century martyr. And here is a celebration of life, faith, and hope, and of a victory that even the final enemy, death, cannot quench.A prior translation of these verses was published under the English title, Voices in the Night. |
