If you're feeling lost, disconnected, or longing for something more, join bestselling authors John Eldredge and Brent Curtis as they explore the greatest love of our lives: our faith. The Sacred Romance invites us to find the peace and purpose we crave by slowing down, asking questions, and deepening our relationship with God. Eldredge and Curtis believe that modern Christians have lost touch with our hearts. We've left that essential part of ourselves behind in the pursuit of efficiency, success, and the busyness of our lives. The Sacred Romance will guide you through a journey to getting to know yourself and your creator even better, asking you: What is this restlessness and emptiness I feel, sometimes after years into my Christian journey? How will my spiritual life touch the rest of my life? What is it that is set so deeply in my heart, that simply will not leave me alone? When did I stop listening to God’s leading? The Sacred Romance is a journey of the heart. It is a journey full of intimacy, adventure, and beauty, that will guide you to your fondest memories, your greatest loves, your noblest achievements, and even your deepest hurts--but the reward is worth the risk.

In Drawing Near, John Bevere invites readers to explore a life of intimacy with God. Emphasizing the need for obedience, he urges us to practice-just as we would practice anything we hope to improve-our communication with the Holy Spirit. Understanding that prayer is a dialogue, not a monologue, Bevere encourages us to listen at the Father's feet. Study questions in each chapter offer opportunity for reflection, and a "How to draw near to God" section offers practical steps toward developing true intimacy with Him.

The intent of this book is to spread the joy of the Lord to those who know Him those who join in fellowship with others so that we can rejoice in peace, grace, rest, love and knowledge of what God has done for us. We look forward to Heaven and seeing our loved ones again. We join in fellowship with others to share the love of God with those in need and seeking the lost. For years I have been rhyming words. My mother encouraged me in my early teens to write poetry. Through the years, I have written and lost many poems. Days were busy with a growing household; my husband, myself, three sons and one daughter. Over the years, the Lord has blessed us with ten grandchildren and four great-grandchildren I shared some of my poems with my friends Walter and Charlene Hoard. We decided that he would make tracts out of them by adding Scriptures that fit the poems. I asked God to use me, at the age of seventy-two, to touch the lives of others with comfort and fill them with the great love that God has given me. God wakes me up early in the morning, from midnight to until 5 am, to write for Him. I know its from Him because I am blessed when I read it. My desire is to serve God however He allows me. This is my second book of poetry, Meditations was published in January of 2014, by Westbow Press.

Making art, says Peter London, is a perfect vehicle for recovering our lost sense of unity with Nature. When we draw closer to Nature through art, we simultaneously draw closer to our Selves, and thereby enjoy a richer, more authentic creativity and a deeper, fuller life. Through exercises, theoretical reflections, poetic meditations, and stories, London presents an innovative approach to creativity that engages body, mind, and spirit. A series of guided "Encounters"—some to be done outdoors, some indoors in the presence of some natural objects, and some entirely in the imagination—invites the reader to investigate Nature's secrets and then to celebrate through making a work of art. Topics and exercises include: the essentials of creative practice, such as time, space, media, and intention; cultivating a simple, firsthand way of seeing Nature in all its subtlety, mystery, and intimacy; creating a personal sanctuary in which to communicate directly with Nature; conducting a sacred conversation with archetypal forms of Nature encountered in the imagination; seeking forgiveness from Nature, with the intention of healing our broken primal relationship with the natural world and rediscovering our rightful place in it.

The Bible is full of questions asked by God, Jesus, ordinary people, Satan, and even a donkey. Some are questions that we've wrestled with but have been reluctant to voice. Others are asked to comfort, to convict, or to reinforce spiritual principles. Drawing Closer to God examines 365 of these questions to uncover biblical truth readers can apply personally to their lives. Each devotional concludes with a question designed to encourage reflection and prayer, leaving readers with practical takeaway and a renewed appreciation for God's Word.

Drawing Closer to the Father's Heart is a verse by verse journey through the Lord's Prayer. It seeks to broaden one's understanding of this beautifulScripture and to show its relevance in the 21st century. It is my hope that those who read it will come away with a deeper awareness of the meaning within the words as well as a clearer insight into the heart of the "One" who spoke them first so long ago. The text raises questions intended to motivate readers to examine their own beliefs and to test them based on the Word of God. Time spent studying God's Word can be such an adventure. It is themy prayer that those who come along on this journey will be blessed asI was in writing this book.

Drawing Closer to Guys is a book that revolves around the main message of singleness, struggle, and the hidden blessing that singleness can be. Through twelve chapters, you will find yourself inching closer and closer to the incredible plan and purpose that God has for you and your singleness. Whether its sexual sin, the ever-wishing desire for a boyfriend, problems in relationships, or the need of a strong foundation in Christ, this book goes through the struggles and temptations that come with singleness within the teenage years and how to combat them and have victory over them. Through awkward and confusing guy friendships to life-changing testimony of God's greatness, each chapter reflects a different aspect of God's incredible workings that He can do and will do in every teenage girls' life, told by a teenage girl herself. Though singleness is hard, and struggle can be unbearable, Drawing Closer to Guys presses the message that it is possible to be single, joy filled, and passionate about purity. From struggle to tears to God's faithfulness to perseverance, endurance to weariness, but God's never-failing love, it is all found within these pages and it is all found within the life of one teenage girl's ongoing experience of it all.

“In a work that is both imaginative and ambitious, Belinda exploits very well the spiritual potential of the Old Testament. Her specialist knowledge of Hebrew and psychology combine well in ways that are accessible to the lay person, showcasing the potential of approaching Scripture this way. Belinda’s explanation of the difference between Hebrew and Greek thinking, and its relationship to left and right hemisphere thinking not only sheds light on individual biblical texts but also creates an exciting environment for spiritual growth.” —Dr Laurence Turner, Professor Emeritus of Old Testament Theology
