King David encouraged us to “taste and see that the Lord is good” (Psalm 34:8). Our heavenly Father serves up a feast of His truth, grace, peace, and freedom to us in abundance—and invites us to enjoy it! When we discover His goodness and truly “count our blessings,” it changes our entire outlook on life. In Discovering God’s Goodness, you will explore what the Bible has to say about God’s grace and what the Lord did to rescue you from the prison of sin. You will uncover how God’s unmerited favor made it possible for you to be forgiven, redeemed, and restored so you could experience eternal life with Him. This is a blessing none of us deserves—but God gives it to us anyway if we accept Him and live our lives for His glory. The Women of Faith® Bible Studies provide intriguing insights into topics that are relevant to women’s lives today. Each guide includes twelve weeks of study, down-to-earth illustrations, and reflections to help you move the truth from your head to your heart. A leader’s guide for use with small groups is also included.

Lament is how you live between the poles of a hard life and trusting God’s goodness. Lament is how we bring our sorrow to God—but it is a neglected dimension of the Christian life for many Christians today. We need to recover the practice of honest spiritual struggle that gives us permission to vocalize our pain and wrestle with our sorrow. Lament avoids trite answers and quick solutions, progressively moving us toward deeper worship and trust. Exploring how the Bible—through the psalms of lament and the book of Lamentations—gives voice to our pain, this book invites us to grieve, struggle, and tap into the rich reservoir of grace and mercy God offers in the darkest moments of our lives.

Life includes challenge. We can follow God with confidence because He works in ways we can not. In spite of a difficult first term on the mission field, Cory and Janice Lemke returned to Ukraine to help strengthen the outreach of the local churches. Along with their two daughters, they settled in Eastern Crimea, where the broad steppe of Ukraine meets the Black Sea. Over the next ten years, they encountered new trials and new revelations of God's goodness and power. Steppes of Faith weaves into the Lemke's journey cultural insights and stories of people they came to love and respect. It highlights God's transforming power and His ability to use ordinary people as part of His extraordinary plan. "This book tells the story of a family who went to Ukraine to serve and left a solid work in the hands of those who embraced the vision of evangelism and church planting. With a keen blend of faith and confession, Janice Lemke writes a compelling narrative that leaves you laughing, crying, and hopeful at the same time." -- Doug Priest, Executive Director, CMF InternationalAuthor Janice Lemke served as a missionary in Ukraine for fifteen years. While her husband, Cory, focused on training leaders and church planting, she hauled groceries from the market, homeschooled their two girls, learned from the local people, and grew in her understanding of God's sufficiency.

If everything in our lives we knew to be good was gone, would we still say God is good? What if His goodness is grounded in something more than our experiences? What if that goodness actually runs so deep that it can never be erased from our souls...the very place we need to believe it most? Maybe God's goodness isn't about a set of events after all. Maybe his goodness is how He takes every event and molds us and changes us into something beautiful- even when the very thing we've experienced is anything but. Whether you know it or not, you've probably heard a part of Maria's story. News articles and T.V. screens nationwide were plastered with, "Plane from Indiana crashes in Michigan, two killed." In Oh, Goodness, Maria will take you with her as she reflects back on discovering the true goodness of God in a way that is authentic, honest, and raw. Maria connects us with the many facets of her own humanity as we join her on a journey where she asks a very simple yet profound question. "God, if you are good then why..." In this book, Maria doesn't tolerate a cookie cutter answer to such a question. If we don't believe God is good in all circumstances, then why on earth would we ever be a Christian?At some point, life is hard and painful. It's in that season we learn just where our faith lies. If God is really good then why... Join Maria as she tells about her journey and then begin to discover God's goodness in your own life.
