Which one are you--"The PRIZE" or consolation gift? The title of this book, Are You "The PRIZE or Just a Consolation Gift? has profoundly captured your attention. Though it has stirred your interest because even without you knowing how to formulate the question, you wanted to know the answer. Nonetheless, the answer is just as diverse as you are, with all your various life experiences up to this point. Although both exist in this world, the one which is valueless is more prevalent in this world of deception than the other. Consequently, the one more useful to GOD in doing HIS GOOD WORK in the earth is least esteemed by those of the world. Therefore, the one devalued by the world is extraordinarily precious because GOD, by HIS SON, WHO is HIS WORD of TRUTH, made all of HIS daughters divinely invaluable. While both exist, this book is written to the woman who knows she's a prize but she's unable to explain in intricate details why. Yet it's also written to the woman who, unbeknownst to her, has been trained to be a consolation gift since she didn't know and has never been told that GOD divinely made her to be a "PRIZE." And lastly but more importantly, this book is written to provide every single GOD-made woman with invaluable nuggets of wisdom on precisely who GOD MADE her to be in HIS VERY GOOD in CHRIST. So if you've said, "Yes, that's me," to either of these categories, this book is written to you. If not, please don't read any further, put the book down, and never read it or buy it.

In this moving and compassionate classic—now updated with new material from the authors—hospice nurses Maggie Callanan and Patricia Kelley share their intimate experiences with patients at the end of life, drawn from more than twenty years’ experience tending the terminally ill.

Filled with practical advice on responding to the requests of the dying and helping them prepare emotionally and spiritually for death, Final Gifts shows how we can help the dying person live fully to the very end.

Gifts is a vibrant and much needed book in todays society. At a time when people across our nation, who have found a relationship with God and want to serve Him, it is so important that we find our place in the body of Christ as revealed through the personality of God, His Holy Spirit. This book will take you on a grand biblical journey of Gods gifts of grace and their motivational implications. It will also help you realize that Gods Holy Spirit wants to supernaturally empower you well beyond the limitations of what you think your talents are, and beyond what any psychological or personality profile might point you toward. "This book will show you that your potential in God is limitless when you activate the gifts of grace operating in your life. This is not a book based on experience, or anecdote, or theory. Instead, this is the compilation and revelation in a life dedicated and submitted to the fullness of the Gospel." Pastor Tommy Barnett, Phoenix First Assembly of God

Amanda Wilcox offers an innovative approach to two major collections of Roman letters—Cicero’s Ad Familiares and Seneca’s Moral Epistles—informed by modern cross-cultural theories of gift-giving. By viewing letters and the practice of correspondence as a species of gift exchange, Wilcox provides a nuanced analysis of neglected and misunderstood aspects of Roman epistolary rhetoric and the social dynamics of friendship in Cicero’s correspondence. Turning to Seneca, she shows that he both inherited and reacted against Cicero’s euphemistic rhetoric and social practices, and she analyzes how Seneca transformed the rhetoric of his own letters from an instrument of social negotiation into an idiom for ethical philosophy and self-reflection. Though Cicero and Seneca are often viewed as a study in contrasts, Wilcox extensively compares their letters, underscoring Cicero’s significant influence on Seneca as a prose stylist, philosopher, and public figure.

Are loved ones reunited in Heaven? The saints say “Absolutely!” In wise and consoling letters written to a mother sorrowing over the death of her child, Fr. François René Blot, S.J., here summons the Church’s greatest saints who testify with one voice that death’s wound, though grievous, separates us but for a short while from those who die before us. Acknowledging that profound sorrow at the death of loved ones is appropriate (after all, even Jesus wept for the death of his friend Lazarus), Fr. Blot nonetheless gives us reason to be joyful even in the midst of our sorrow: in heaven our loves and friendships will finally be free of the many hindrances — small and large — that keep them from being perfect in this life. Moreover, the saints say, in heaven we will love and know the love of countless souls we never met on earth, our Guardian Angel, and all the choirs of angels! Soon after it was written, a Catholic Cardinal called this book “a pearl set in the fine gold of the doctrine of the Fathers” and a newspaper declared that it “deserves a distinguished place in all Christian libraries and should be on the table of every pious family that faithfully preserves the memory of its deceased members.” Let the saints’ testimony in these beautiful pages assuage your grief and renew your hope! Let them increase your gratitude for the sacrifice of Christ whose death on the Cross opened heaven for us, and made these heavenly reunions possible!

Spiritual Gifts: A Christ-Centered Perspective is just that, centered on Christ. It provides a new perspective on spiritual gifts, seeing the person and work of Christ as the foundation for the gifts of the Spirit. The coming of Jesus into the world opens the way for the whole people of God to be indwelt by the Holy Spirit and to share in God's work in the world. The book takes a broad New Testament approach to exploring the gifts, carefully examining the meaning of the gifts by considering the Gospels, Acts, and the epistles. The focus is on seeing each gift as an extension of what Jesus did in his ministry. The gifts of the Spirit equip the church to carry on Jesus' work. Every gift is a means of proclaiming the gospel. God gives his gifts with two purposes in mind: to build the church by bringing people to Christ, and to build up the church by maturing each believer. Consequently, Pentecostals, Charismatics, and conservative Christians alike must embrace spiritual gifts because God desires to transform the world through his equipped people.
