Paperback. Condición: Good. Her passion was horses, not spiritual warfare. Every word of this story is true. Instead of bar hopping while she was single, Jill agreed to house-sit for others while they went on vacation. One of these houses was more than a house-it was a mansion of over six-thousand square feet with a horse farm, which stood on more than eighty acres of prime real estate near a quaint little town in Southern New Jersey. A pool, a barn with many horses, and a gorgeous house to lounge in was an escape that Jill relished. Instead, what she experienced there could have come straight from The Amityville Horror. Get ready for a rough ride as Jill takes you through one year of her life that began in fear and culminated in faith. This is a woman who knows what it means to be an overcomer. Remember, when you're at the end of your rope, God is at the other end. If you have ever doubted that God is in charge, this book will reignite your faith.…

Years ago, I started writing down all the amazing ways God used my day to day activities, children, family, friends and nature to teach me. The more I wrote, the more I noticed God in my daily life.

I hope that reading some of my stories will encourage you stop and listen for His whisper in your life and seek Him more through His written Word.…

Paperback. Condición: Very Good. At fifty-two, in the wake of her husband's death, Lori Morrison found herself living alone on the edge of a volcanic crater lake in a lush jungle of El Salvador, mourning and feeling an intense desire to make sense of her loss. This powerful book tells the inspiring true story of how Morrison's mind cracked open so that she began to see, hear, and feel the subtle energy of other dimensions of reality, including that of a mysterious past as an ancient Mayan priest.

Paperback. Condición: Good. It's not every day that you get a visit from God. Burning bushes, ladders to heaven, chariots of fire and all that--we look for those stories in the Bible, and we look for them in our lives. When it comes to something as important as what we do with our lives, we think, maybe God owes us a big event. But, as Leroy Barber has learned through his work in inner cities and with young people, that's not usually how it works. More often God calls out to us from everyday misfortunes and all-too-common injustices, and he invites our response--not just a response in the moment, but a recognition that we have a role to play in seeing God's kingdom come, God's will done, on earth as it is in heaven. Through the surprisingly normal stories of the heroes of faith in the Bible, and through Barber's experiences with Mission Year and other ministries, in this book you'll learn what it means to change the world from your own little space in it. …

Paperback. Condición: Good. They were not professionals. They were not celebrities. We don't even know their names. We know very little about them, except that they were everyday people who were drawn to Jesus.
