Hoping For Happiness
$16.99
A biblical framework for living a grounded, hopeful and genuinely happy life.
Everyone wants to be happy, and we all pursue happiness in different ways. Some people are thrill-seekers; others are homebodies. Some people are loners; others love big families or communities. Some people express things creatively; others consume what is created. Some sing; others listen to music. Whatever we find happiness in, we are united by our desire for work that matters and relationships that fulfil.
As Christians, we often fall into the trap of basing our hopes on earthly things, even when we know they only make us happy for a short time. But how are we to experience happiness in this life? How do we avoid expecting too much of earthly things and being disappointed, or expecting too little and becoming cynics?
In this book, recovering cynic Barnabas Piper helps us to throw off both the unrealistic expectations that end in disappointment and the guilty sense that Christians are not meant to have fun. He shows how having a clear view of the reality of the fall and the promise of redemption frees us to live a life that’s grounded, hopeful and genuinely happy.

30 Days Of Praying The Psalms
$17.99Walk in the footsteps of a king!
King David is regarded as one of the Bible’s greatest heroes for one reason: he was a sold-out worshipper. Through all of his success, failures, and pain, David worshipped God with his whole heart. The book of Psalms provides a record of his songs to God-a window into his prayers as he wrestled through every circumstance across the full spectrum of human emotion.
David’s example is an important model for modern-day Christians, and his words in the Psalms provide powerful language we can use in own journey.
Psalmist and worship leader, Julie Meyer, has spent decades helping everyday believers encounter God through Davidic worship. By declaring and singing the Psalms, Julie has discovered that she is able to access that same open Heaven as David-a spiritual dimension where we are confident that God hears us (even when Heaven seems silent), we know that He’s with us (even when He feels distant), and that – whether we feel it or not – we can trust that the giant-slaying God of David is fighting on our behalf!
In 30 Days in the Psalms, Julie takes you on a prayer journey through 30 of David’s Psalms, equipping you with:
*Templates for powerful breakthrough prayers.
*Guidance for singing and declaring your way into an awareness of God’s Presence.
*Simple keys to lay hold of God’s promises for healing.
*Easy and comfortable language you can use when talking with God.
*The ability to make God your refuge through every storm.Like King David, Julie Meyer has seen every type of need answered by singing and declaring God’s faithfulness through the Psalms. Now, discover how you can see the same in your life!

For when Kirstin opens their front door one day, she finds the brother she long thought dead on the other side.

Healing Of Natalie Curtis
$16.99Classically trained pianist and singer Natalie Curtis isolated herself for five years after a breakdown just before she was to debut with the New York Philharmonic. Guilt-ridden and songless, Natalie can’t seem to recapture the joy music once brought her. In 1902, her brother invites her to join him in the West to search for healing. What she finds are songs she’d never before encountered–the haunting melodies, rhythms, and stories of Native Americans.
But their music is under attack. The US government’s Code of Offenses prohibits American’s indigenous people from singing, dancing, or speaking their own languages as the powers that be insist on assimilation. Natalie makes it her mission not only to document these songs before they disappear but to appeal to President Teddy Roosevelt himself, who is the only man with the power to repeal the unjust law. Will she succeed and step into a new song . . . and a new future?
Award-winning author Jane Kirkpatrick weaves yet another lyrical tale based on a true story that will keep readers captivated to the very end.
