Book Description
Follow the ultimate coffee geeks on their worldwide hunt for the best beans. Can a cup of coffee reveal the face of God? Can it become the holy grail of modern-day knights errant who brave hardship and peril in a relentless quest for perfection? Can it change the world? These questions are not rhetorical. When highly prized coffee beans sell at auction for $50, $100, or $150 a pound wholesale (and potentially twice that at retail), anything can happen. In God in a Cup, journalist and late-blooming adventurer Michaele Weissman treks into an exotic and paradoxical realm of specialty coffee where the successful traveler must be part passionate coffee connoisseur, part ambitious entrepreneur, part activist, and part Indiana Jones. Her guides on the journey are the nation’s most heralded coffee business hotshots: Counter Culture’s Peter Giuliano, Intelligentsia’s Geoff Watts, and Stumptown’s Duane Sorenson. With their obsessive standards and fiercely competitive baristas, these roasters are creating a new culture of coffee connoisseurship in America—a culture in which $10 lattes are both a purist’s pleasure and a way to improve the lives of third-world farmers. If you love a good cup of coffee—or a great adventure story—you’ll love this unprecedented up-close look at the people and passions behind today’s best beans. “Weissman illustrates how the origin, flavor compounds and socioeconomic impact of a cup of coffee are relevant now more than ever. . . . Tagging along behind the main characters in today’s specialty coffee scene, [she] travels from the exotic to the expected to artfully deconstruct the connoisseur’s cup of coffee.” —Publishers Weekly

Book Description
In this devotional, the Holy Spirit inspires us to praise, helps us to voice our petitions, and provokes us to think deeper and move into a closer walk with God.There is no greater joy and peace than to begin each day communing with our Heavenly Father, praising Him for His great mercies and love toward us, and listening to the gentle, teaching voice of His Holy Spirit.There is an inspiration, a truth, a challenge to carry us through each day armed for whatever may come, confident in our place in Christ and clothed in victory.This book of "thought provokers" won't be for everyone. If you have grown comfortable in the place that you are in and don't really want the Holy Spirit to disturb or challenge you, you won't want to wade into these deep waters.Come on in. The water's fine. The water of the Holy Spirit will cleanse, restore, invigorate, and strengthen you.If we pull away from allowing the Holy Spirit to speak into every corner of our hearts, this in itself should be the most disturbing "thought provoker" of all.Shake me, stir me, challenge me, lift me, and cause my spirit to hunger for more of You. Lord, remove me from apathy and a man-pleasing spirit and set me on fire with love for You. Let me experience Your strong arms and loving voice so I might know Your security and deep abiding love. I ask this in Jesus's precious name.

The Better Mom
Author: Ruth Schwenk
Publisher: Zondervan
ISBN: 031034946X
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 208
Book Description
Mothering is messy. Our joy and hope in raising children doesn’t change the reality that being a mom can be frustrating, stressful, and tiring. But just as God is using us to shape our children, God is using our children and motherhood to shape us. In The Better Mom, author Ruth Schwenk, herself a mother of four children, encourages us with the good news that there is more to being a mom than the extremes of striving for perfection or simply embracing the mess. We don’t need to settle for surviving our kids’ childhood. We can grow through it. With refreshing and heartfelt honesty Ruth emboldens moms to: Find freedom and walk confidently in purpose Create a God-honoring home environment Overcome unhealthy and destructive emotions such as anger, anxiety, and more Avoid glorifying the mess of mom-ing or idolizing perfection Cultivate life-giving friendships At the heart of The Better Mom is the message that Jesus calls us to live not a weary life, but a worthy life. We don’t have to settle for either being apathetic or struggling to be perfect. Both visions of motherhood go too far. Ruth offers a better option. She says, “It’s okay to come as we are, but what we’re called to do and be is far too important to stay there! The way to becoming a better mom starts not with what we are doing, but with who God is inviting us to become."

Book Description
An evangelist of Jesus Christ, mother, Navy veteran, author, and most of all, a survivor--these are the words that describe Shimeka Collins! With an intimate relationship with Jesus Christ, she is led by the Spirit when she created such beautiful stories and poems as in her first book, God Is Able.

Every poem, every passage, every story, Shimeka is consumed with the Spirit of the Lord, and it is evident in her writing.

Her strength to overcome and survive the difficult times makes her a character beyond reproach. You can feel her pain, her beautiful soul, her will to survive, and her love of God in her writing.
