Book Description
This is the true story of a young Jewish man who leaves Russia for America in the early twentieth century. Told in a series of heartwarming anecdotes and observations, it covers his arrival in New York, his early business success, his struggles to develop a series of shoe stores in Pennsylvania, his long and happy marriage, and the raising of his children. Triumphs and tragedies are mingled together in the rich texture of his life. Time and again, his deep religious faith helped him to overcome seemingly insurmountable obstacles. His intimate knowledge of both Old World Jewish culture and small-town America in the early and middle twentieth century adds an important historical dimension to this personal narrative. This is a vivid portrait of one mans struggle to share in the American dream.

Book Description
New York Times bestseller What is Jesus worth to you? It's easy for American Christians to forget how Jesus said his followers would actually live, what their new lifestyle would actually look like. They would, he said, leave behind security, money, convenience, even family for him. They would abandon everything for the gospel. They would take up their crosses daily... But who do you know who lives like that? Do you? In Radical, David Platt challenges you to consider with an open heart how we have manipulated the gospel to fit our cultural preferences. He shows what Jesus actually said about being his disciple--then invites you to believe and obey what you have heard. And he tells the dramatic story of what is happening as a "successful" suburban church decides to get serious about the gospel according to Jesus. Finally, he urges you to join in The Radical Experiment -- a one-year journey in authentic discipleship that will transform how you live in a world that desperately needs the Good News Jesus came to bring.

Book Description
To live "in the flow of God's supply" is two-fold: giving to God in thanksgiving for His provision in your life, and expecting to receive the supply of all your needs in accordance with His promises and commands to believers. It may surprise you to know that the concept of affluence, "flowing freely, copious," was known to Jesus, who said concerning those who believe in him, ""Out of his heart will flow rivers of living water"" (John 7:38 ESV). This inspirational book is a positive and practical guide to prosperity for believers. These truths have been proven in the hard world of business and in the ever-demanding world of family finances. Now you too can believe and enjoy a more than abundant financial life.

Book Description
God's Immeasurable Grace. It's the most important ingredient for the perfect love story. Tragic circumstances often stretch relationships to their breaking point. But God's grace is always more than enough. For Ken and Joni Eareckson Tada, enduring quadriplegia, chronic pain, cancer, and depression only made their love more vibrant through thirty years of marriage. Discover a bond that has seen the worst and claimed the best. With sixteen pages of photos, peek into Joni and Ken’s challenges firsthand. Discover God's immeasurable grace along the way, as their story inspires and enriches your own relationships. A love untold. Until now. Ken underestimated the challenges of marrying a woman with quadriplegia. Even the honeymoon wasn't easy. Through their years together, Ken becomes increasingly overwhelmed by the unceasing demands of caring for a woman with chronic, extreme, nightmarish pain. He sinks into depression. Though living under the same roof, they drift apart. In the midst of their deepest struggles with depression and pain, Ken and Joni return to the one true answer to their struggles. One that is far from a denial of Joni's diagnosis or thoughts of how wonderful a quick exit to heaven would be. In their darkest hour, Ken and Joni encounter a heavenly visitation that changes their lives--and maybe yours too--forever.

Teens really do want to make a difference, but sometimes their attitudes get in the way! Today's teens are faced with some big issues, and their attitudes can sometimes create even more struggles for their own lives and those around them.

With a little perspective, teens will see that God can help them overcome their ungrateful days, their stressed-out days, and even their catastrophic days. Life is not going to be perfect. When teens understand that and realize that God is their constant source of support, help, and blessings, even the difficult days can be faced with a cheerful spirit. Make Every Day Count shows readers how to deal with each day-no matter what it throws at them.
