Pennsylvania's role in the development of American culture and society has received an increasing amount of attention in the past two decades, as the tercentenary celebrations of the founding of the province led to a reexamination of the colony and state's contributions to the ethnic and religious diversity of modern America. With increasing pluralism, however, the religious group that was most prominent in the establishment of the province - the Society of Friends, or Quakers - declined in its impact and importance.

Scripture reveals a God who meets us where we are, not where we pretend to be. No More Faking Fine is your invitation to get honest with God through the life-giving language of lament. If you've ever been given empty clichés during challenging times, you know how painful it is to be misunderstood by well-meaning people. When life hurts, we often feel pressure--from others and ourselves--to keep it together, suck it up, or pray it away. But Scripture reveals a God who lovingly invites us to give honest voice to our emotions when life hits hard. For most of her life, Esther Fleece Allen believed she could bypass the painful emotions of her broken past by shutting them down altogether. She was known as an achiever and an overcomer on the fast track to success. But in silencing her pain, she robbed herself of the opportunity to be healed. Maybe you've done the same. Esther's journey into healing began when she discovered that God has given us a real-world way to deal with raw emotions and an alternative to the coping mechanisms that end up causing more pain. It's called lament--the gut-level, honest prayer that God never ignores, never silences, and never wastes. No More Faking Fine is your permission to lament, taking you on a journey down the unexpected pathway to true intimacy with God. Drawing from careful biblical study and hard-won insight, Esther reveals how to use God's own language to come closer to him as he leads us through our pain to the light on the other side, teaching you that: We are robbing ourselves of a divine mystery and a divine intimacy when we pretend to have it all together God does not expect us to be perfect; instead, he meets us where we are There is hope beyond your heartache, disappointment, and grief Like Esther, you'll soon find that when one person stops faking fine, it gives everyone else permission to do the same.

Feeling overwhelmed and unproductive? The answer isn’t to do more. What image forms in your mind when you think of productivity? An assembly line? Spreadsheets? Business suits or workplace uniforms? In the ancient world, productivity didn't conjure images like these. Instead, it referred to crop yield and fruit bearing. This agrarian imagery helps us understand productivity through a biblical lens. Jesus taught, By this my Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit (John 15:8). Who doesn’t want to have a truly productive life—to bear much fruit? But how does this happen in the places we hold dear—the home, workplace, and in our communities? We often feel overworked and overrun, defeated and discouraged. The world says be productive so that you can get all you can out of this life. The Bible says be productive so you can gain more of the next life. In Redeeming Productivity, author Reagan Rose explores how God’s glory is the purpose for which He planted us. And he shows how productivity must be firmly rooted in the gospel. Only through our connection to Christ—the True Vine—are we empowered to produce good fruit. This book shows how we can maintain the vitality of that connection through simple, life-giving disciplines. Readers will discover manageable applications like giving God the first fruits of our days. Additionally, Reagan discusses how our perspective on suffering is transformed as we see trials as God’s pruning for greater productivity.

Milton Hershey is well known for his chocolate. You can find Hershey's chocolate throughout America and many other countries. Moreover, many have written about him likening M.S. Hershey to royalty, such as an Emperor or King of chocolate. However, this is not the Hersheys' greatest achievement. The far more unique, extraordinary and unparalleled achievement of Milton and Catherine Hershey is The Hershey Industrial School. As part of The Hershey Industrial School, the Hersheys created the community, businesses and education system of Hershey, PA. HIS was established in perpetuity for the benefit of American orphans. Hershey Ideal Community for Orphans is about the Hersheys' intelligent philanthropy. A philanthropy that not only benefited all who were a part of it, its beneficiaries are American children who are orphans, and therefore, through no fault of their own, are at risk of suffering a range of undesirable outcomes. The Hersheys were driven by philanthropic effectiveness, measured by the degree to which each individual was able to reach their full potential according to their own characteristics. HIS fully develops each orphan as a whole person according to such child's unique potential through its state-of-the-art program tailored around each individual by transforming him into an adult of exceptional character, prepared to make a living as an adult.

“If there were a Guinness Book of World Records entry for ‘amount of times having prayed the sinner’s prayer,’ I’m pretty sure I’d be a top contender,” says pastor and author J. D. Greear. He struggled for many years to gain an assurance of salvation and eventually learned he was not alone. “Lack of assurance” is epidemic among evangelical Christians. In Stop Asking Jesus Into Your Heart, J. D. shows that faulty ways of present- ing the gospel are a leading source of the confusion. Our presentations may not be heretical, but they are sometimes misleading. The idea of “asking Jesus into your heart” or “giving your life to Jesus” often gives false assurance to those who are not saved—and keeps those who genuinely are saved from fully embracing that reality. Greear unpacks the doctrine of assurance, showing that salvation is a posture we take to the promise of God in Christ, a posture that begins at a certain point and is maintained for the rest of our lives. He also answers the tough questions about assurance: What exactly is faith? What is repentance? Why are there so many warnings that seem to imply we can lose our salvation? Such issues are handled with respect to the theological rigors they require, but Greear never loses his pastoral sensitivity or a communication technique that makes this message teachable to a wide audience from teens to adults.

"In 1996 Latter-day Saints were stunned by the news that Elder Neal A. Maxwell had contracted acute leukemia. Confronted by his illness, Elder Maxwell experienced the "wintry doctrine" he had eloquently taught for years--that the Lord may deliberately choose to school his disciples in tutorials of afflication designed to enlarge their souls. Discipleship, the central message of Elder Maxwell's life, is a theme that helps us not only know Elder Maxwell but also know how to better follow the Savior ourselves. Compassionate, witty, politically astute, and spiritually authentic, Neal Maxwell was always pasionately engaged in life's battles. During his dark hours of chemotherapy, he whispered, 'I want a jersey. On the team, on this side [of the veil] or that side, I don't want to sit on the sidelines.' This instinct for action impelled him nto the infantry in World War II where, on Okinawa, shaking and crying in a foxhole full of mud and foul water, he pledged his life to the Lord and was miraculously spared. He discovered the power of the scriputres while fighting in the Lord's army as a missionary in Canada. Next came the intellectual engagements of university studies and the political skirmishes of Washington, D.C. Then, tutored by President Harold B. Lee, he became the Church's commissioner of education when an entire generation of LDS college students needed his fresh, open, and faithful mentoring. Ordained an Apostle in 1981, Elder Maxwell engaged in a broader struggle, between the sacred and the secular, the tension between faith and reason, and finally his greatest cause--his spiritual ministry. His eloquent defense of Christianity and his brilliant reconciliation of faith and intellect are a rich legacy. But beyond that, he showed us that with the Savior's help, oridinary people can be better, less competitive, more loving, and receive the soul-transforming gift of charity. In this inspiring, sometimes humorous, and moving biography, Elder Bruce C. Hafen has painted an intimate portrait of a beloved apostle, capturing the warm, personal stories that reveal the heart and mind of a true disciple of Christ." --Back cover.

This book is about a man who has a heart for the things of YAH and how YAH was with him wherever he went in this life. He had an extraordinary military career, retiring as an E7 (sergeant first class) with many military awards. He was a military postal inspector for five and a half years over Europe, Middle East, and Africa. He learned that the fourth commandment of the Ten Commandments deals with honoring YAH on the day He set aside for us to honor Him. Mr. Gooden believes it to be a test commandment. YAH has caused this man to ride upon the high places of the earth (see Isaiah 58:13-14). How as a child, he asked for these three things from YAH, and He granted his requests in a mighty way: (1) He asked to go to Jerusalem, and he has been there four times. (2) He asked to be a man after YAH's own heart. YAH allowed him to go to the tomb of King David with his son, John David. (3) He asked YAH for wisdom, and He granted his request. Mr. Gooden prayed and laid hands on three people that were near death and they recovered. YAH answered in a mighty way. One individual recently celebrated their fiftieth wedding anniversary. He has spoken into the lives of three people who were in secret societies by telling them to confess their sins to YAH before they died. How he was able to locate his wife's aunt in another country (Germany) and how he found the exact room number in the hospital she was in and his wife was able to talk with her before she died. Here is just one of the stories where he received a word of knowledge to check his car after it had been serviced and found that his brand-new alternator had been stolen. He received a better alternator, and his PCM computer was installed for free. How he was able to find and fix a leak in a waterline buried three to five feet below the ground in a forest of trees. He has many stories to show that YAH has been working in his life. He hopes everyone that reads this book will be blessed by reading it. YAH is alive and so are His Words. When you read this book, it will cause your faith to soar! This isn't false advertisement. This is the real McCoy! This book is offered to YAH as an offering of His goodness to anyone who puts their trust in Him. Mr. Gooden refuses to offer to YAH something that cost him nothing! This book is loaded with many stories of how YAH has worked in this man's life.
