Count Your Blessings
$10.97
Ancient practices and hymns of gratitude bolster the faith of modern believers with updated selections from Osbeck’s best-selling books
Science, history, and Scripture all agree that gratitude is key to living a joy-filled, peaceful life. Even knowing the facts, believers still struggle to find thankfulness in the normal daily grind, let alone life’s most difficult situations.
Using the powerful stories behind thirty hymns as examples, Count Your Blessings is filled with solid, practical wisdom and calls on the believer to seek God’s goodness in a world that does not promise an easy life. Each reading contains guidance for how Christians can “take every thought captive” and choose joy.
Each hymn is paired with Scripture readings, wisdom from historical Christians, a meditation, and a practical application. Perfect for individuals, families, or groups, the stories surrounding the hymns foster appreciation for how history undergirds contemporary faith and will move Christians toward a new depth of worship and devotion.

Flying Falling Catching
$25.99Henri Nouwen’s never-before-published story of his surprising friendship with a traveling trapeze troupe.
During the last five years of his life, best-selling spiritual author Henri J. M. Nouwen became close to The Flying Rodleighs, a trapeze troupe in a traveling circus. Like Nouwen’s own life, a trapeze act is full of artistry, exhilarating successes, crushing failures and continual forgiveness. He wrote about his experience in a genre new to him: creative non-fiction.
In Flying, Falling, Catching, Nouwen’s colleague and friend Carolyn Whitney-Brown presents his unpublished trapeze writings framed by the true story of his rescue through a hotel window by paramedics during his first heart attack. Readers will meet Nouwen as a spiritual risk taker who was transformed through his engagement with these trapeze artists, as well as his participation in the Civil Rights movement, his life in community with people with intellectual disabilities, his personal growth through friendships during the 1990s AIDS pandemic, and other unexpected encounters.
What will we do with our lives, and with whom will we do it? In this story of flying and catching, Nouwen invites us all to let go and fly, even when we are afraid of falling.
