Haystacks are a fitting symbol of the diversity that exists in the Adventist Church. We are all so different—we have assorted talents, perspectives, struggles, and triumphs. And we mingle together in different combinations according to geographic location, preferences in worship style, and even age range. So what does this mixture “taste” like? What does it mean to be Adventist, to be part of the Adventist Church? Andy Nash explores issues that Adventists grapple with collectively. He ponders the reason young people are leaving the church. He studies the backgrounds of various Bible passages. He wonders how Jesus would do church, and challenges us to give up our dream—as part of living out the first commandment. Male or female, young or old, rich or poor, vegan or omnivore, we’re in it together—haystacks.

When one thinks of prison, they often don't think about the wordlove.Meet Richard Vaden, who, when sentenced to prison, started questioning God, just as Job did, asking, 'Why, God? Why am I here? Where are You?' It was in prison that God showed him his calling: ministering to prison inmates. It was also here that God brought to him his helpmeet, Christine. In this powerful and compelling story, follow authors Richard and Christine Vaden as they find the godly love they had been searching for—although they were on opposite sides of the bars. The Vadens' story not only shows you how their love blossomed and grew into a consuming love, but it also covers subjects that are not spoken of enough in today's society: true love, godly love, spiritual love between husband and wife. It's the kind of love that can only happen when you come to 'oneness' in Christ. This inspirational story is about the beginning of the great love described in Ephesians 5:21-33. Pick upFinding the Needle in the Haystackand discover for yourself how God's love develops in even the most unusual of places. Discover, as they did, that this is actually the story of the gift of God's love to two of His children; it is aboutHis love.

More than 75 traditional Amish recipes, practical gardening tips, and firsthand accounts of traditional Amish events like corn-husking bees and barn raisings. The Amish Cook is based on a newspaper column of the same name that started when aspiring editor Kevin Williams convinced Elizabeth Coblentz, an Old Order Amish wife and mother, to write a weekly cooking column. Each week Elizabeth shared a family recipe and discussed daily life on her Indiana farm, spent with her husband, Ben, and their eight children and 32 grandchildren. A truly unique collaboration between a simple Amish grandmother and a modern-day newspaperman, The Amish Cook is a poignant and authentic look at a disappearing way of life.

Pastor Gregg Matte writes, "God's will is not the needle in the haystack discovered only by 'Navy SEALs for Jesus'; it is actually the hay in the haystack to be found by every believer." This is great news for any Christian who has ever wondered about finding and living in the will of God. Through an extensive, intimate examination of God's encounter with Moses in the burning bush, Finding God's Will invites readers to shift their understanding of God's will from an event to be experienced to a process to live; God's will is what happens when we seek him. Readers will discover how to be on the lookout for their own burning bushes, how to focus on pleasing "Thee not they," and how to expect God's power as they seek his will. They may also be surprised to find that, as they seek a deeper relationship with God, his direction and guidance become clear. A life centered in God's will is a promise offered to every believer and every Christian can learn how to receive that gift.
