Our Newest Book! “Just Rest: A 90-Day Devotional Journal.”

About the book… Just Rest

I read about a group of college counseling directors that were surveyed. 95% said, “The number of students with significant psychological problems is a growing concern in their center or on campus.”

This same article suggested that the biggest problem impacting college students today is anxiety; depression was a close second.

You may be one of those who struggle with worry, fear, anxiety, or depression.

Possibly, you deal with all of these challenges. Or, you may have picked up this book because you would like to experience more rest, peace, and calmness deep within the depths of your soul. You are weary.

There is also a chance that your mom, grandmother, teacher, coach, or one of your mentors gave you this book. You are reading it to be nice to them. That’s okay too!

No matter your reason for reading, the goal is the same. We are going to learn how to find deep rest for your soul.

To encourage you in your walk with the Lord, you might want to check out this resource: Stepping Closer to the Savior.

The greatest challenge most of us have is connecting with our spirituality and deepening our relationship with God. We feel the need to know Him, but then the waves and roar and crash of life pull us into pitching tides, and before we know it, the time we’d set aside is gone.

But deep beneath the surface, beneath the frenetic pace and pull, is a place of quiet peace… Author Melanie Redd invites us to take eight simple steps toward that place where the heart, mind, and soul can meet with our Creator. Using exercises and clearly outlined instructions, she shows how we can draw closer to Jesus, one step at a time, one day at a time.

Each chapter is seasoned with inspiration and personal experiences and is organized to address the “why” and “how” of timeless issues, such as:

Why step closer to Jesus?

Why read and study the Bible?

Help! I’m tired!

Why pray?

Can I hear God speak to me?

Whether you’ve been walking with the Lord for years or have just begun to get interested in Jesus, whether you’re interested in deepening your relationship with God or finding ways to share your faith with others, Redd’s carefully laid-out action plan encourages you to begin your walk today, here, and now.

The essence of Stepping Closer to the Savior is simple: step toward Jesus, and He will step toward you.

How to Win Your Child’s Heart For Life.

Are you a history buff or maybe a homeschool parent? Want to know more about the women in Baptist history?

Peruse the aisles of any major college and library, and you’ll find hundreds of volumes detailing the impact that men have had on the world for Christ. However, when looking for books describing the women who have made a difference for the Lord, it is challenging to find many books.

This book was written as part of a seminary class by a conservative woman who desired to find some great women who influenced others with the Gospel. The seminary is Baptist, so the research primarily focused on the history of the Baptists. And yet, you don’t have to be a woman or a Baptist to learn about women who have lived their lives for a greater cause than themselves, women who have sacrificed and unselfishly given of themselves because of their love for the Lord Jesus Christ.

This is not some dry history book, but rather a refreshing reminder of what it means to serve the Lord no matter where or WHEN you live. As you read about some fascinating people, you’ll receive encouragement to live personally with more boldness and courage.
