Book Description
God’s word, his stories, surround us every day. We listen to podcasts, read books, and frequent our daily devotionals, but do we really allow our lives to change? Does God’s story become our story? Do we allow God to walk us back to true fellowship and relationship with Him? Or does our sporadic connection with God’s story lie beautifully on the surface impressing others around us without absorbing deep within who we are? Even though the Bible is the greatest story written, it sits on our shelf positioned strategically allowing us to feel we are of the spiritual realm. But what if we pulled it from our shelf and opened it? Would we allow the stories of Adam, Abraham and Sarah change our lives? Would we see the God who saw Hagar? Or would we become frustrated reading a book penned centuries ago because it seems inapplicable and dry? In The Walk Back to Eden, authors Melody Westbrook and Emileigh Ziebka take you on a journey through the Old Testament. You will walk through the garden of Eden, into the wilderness, and be locked inside a boat. You will feel the dirt between your toes walking the roads of Canaan, feel the heartfelt loss as Adam and Eve were kicked out of paradise, and sit in the quiet of the unformed universe. This book offers practical lessons for today taken from a book written centuries ago. You will not want to miss this journey!

Book Description
Traverse a lush and abandoned Eden, escaping the everyday for a world waiting to come to life A keen observer of the natural world and the mystical treasures contained within, Anders Nilsen uses lush, inky lines to craft an enchanting, meditative journey for your coloring tools. A Walk in Eden is a fantastical view of primeval creation, with an exquisite mix of sprawling landscapes and close-up examinations of plants, fungi, and minerals--think giant crystal formations emerging out of pools surrounded by lush vegetation and flowers the size of small trees. Though this is a world void of humans, here and there are small reminders of our presence. Informed by the designs of Ernst Haeckel and other early scientific and botanical illustration, Nilsen's world is intricate, playful, and inspired, waiting for you to make it your own. With 80+ full-page drawings, Nilsen invites you to join in the fun and bring the adult- and kid-friendly world of A Walk in Eden to life.

Book Description
Since the age of ten, Mia has rebelled against the iron fist of a fundamentalist preacher who lured her mother away to join a fanatical family of followers. At "Edenton," a supposed Garden of Eden deep in the South American jungle, everyone follows the reverend's strict and arbitrary rules--even about whom they can marry. Mia dreams of slipping away from the armed guards who keep the faithful in and the curious out. When the rebellious Gabe, a new boy, arrives with his family, Mia sees her chance to escape and to free her family. But the scandalous secrets the two discover beyond the compound's facade are more shocking than anything they imagined. While Gabe has his own terrible secrets, he and Mia bond together, more than friend and freedom fighters. But there's no time to think about love as they race against time to stop the reverend's paranoid plan to free his flock--but not himself--from this corrupt world. Can two kids crush a criminal mastermind? And who will die in the fight to save the ones they love from a madman whose only concern is his own secrets?

Life often looks so very different than we hoped or expected. Some events may simply catch us off guard for a season, but others shatter us completely.

But after many tears, godly counseling, and prayerful seeking, she's also discovered that our disappointments can be the divine appointments our souls need to radically encounter God. In It's Not Supposed to Be This Way, Lysa invites us into her own journey of faith and, with grit, vulnerability, and honest humor, helps us to: Stop being pulled into the anxiety of disappointment by discovering how to better process unmet expectations and other painful situations. Train ourselves to recognize the three strategies of the enemy, so we can stand strong and persevere through unsettling relationships and uncertain outcomes. Discover the secret of being steadfast and not panicking when God actually does give us more than we can handle.

Book Description
In the tradition of The Boys of Summer and The Bronx Is Burning, New York Times sports columnist Harvey Araton delivers a fascinating look at the 1970s New York Knicks—part autobiography, part sports history, part epic, set against the tumultuous era when Walt Frazier, Willis Reed, and Bill Bradley reigned supreme in the world of basketball. Perfect for readers of Jeff Pearlman’s The Bad Guys Won!, Peter Richmond’s Badasses, and Pat Williams’s Coach Wooden, Araton’s revealing story of the Knicks’ heyday is far more than a review of one of basketball’s greatest teams’ inspiring story—it is, at heart, a stirring recreation of a time and place when the NBA championships defined the national dream.
