Foundation Of Love
$8.97
In the first installment of bestseller Amy Clipston’s brand-new series, an Amish widower with three grown sons discovers that another chance at love may be waiting for him.
Duane Bontrager was devastated when he lost his beloved wife three years ago. Now pushing fifty and certain he’s done with romance forever, he has thrown himself into running his roofing company and being the best father he can be for his three grown sons.
But the bishop in Duane’s Amish community has other plans for the widower. He hopes Duane will marry a widow with young children and spend his life caring for her. While Duane likes the woman as a friend, he doesn’t feel anything more. A future between them would be one of friendship-not romantic love. Meanwhile he’s working on a roof when he meets Crystal Glick, who’s a bit younger than Duane and yet never married. He feels a stirring in his heart for her, but he cannot see past the gap in their ages.
Crystal always dreamed of getting married and having a family; however, she’s older than the other singles in the community and believes life has passed her by. When she meets Duane, she feels something for a man she has never felt before. But with family and community pressures against her and Duane, will a path forward ever be possible?
This sweet, inspirational novel will delight Clipston’s devoted fans and introduce new readers to the storied and faithful community of Lancaster County.

Shaped By The Spirit
$14.99Shun self-help in favour of spiritual-help and become the other-focussed disciple that Jesus is inviting you to be in this accessible and practical book.
In recent years, the Church in the West has witnessed a growing hunger to engage in spiritual disciplines that help us become more like Jesus. And yet, if our practices cause us to look inwards without looking outwards, then we can unwittingly distance ourselves from him instead. Jesus was inherently other-focussed, and in this immensely practical book, Kate Pocklington invites us to explore why being formed by the Spirit is only half of the picture. We are formed by the Spirit, formed through our experiences with others and formed for the sake of God’s mission in the world. Together we will see how God – the grand recycler – wants to use every part of our past and personality to shape us into other-focussed people.

And Yet : Finding Joy In Lament
$12.00In a life full of highs and lows, choice and challenges, the words ‘and yet’ can change everything. We are surrounded by darkness and yet there is light. We feel we are lacking and yet God provides. We are broken and bruised and yet there is hope.
In the depths of depression and plagued with suicidal thoughts, Rachael Newham never thought she’d find herself writing a book on joy. And yet, if her journey with mental health illness has taught her anything it is that true, deep, lasting joy can only be experienced when we allow ourselves to enter into lament and be honest about our pain before God.
With warm understanding, in this lovely Lent book for 2022 Rachael traces how Biblical writers used ‘and yet’ to bring together joy and lament and invites us to see them not as opposites, but two sides of the same coin. Drawing on her experiences with mental illness, she shows us how we can build a rhythm of both joy and lament into our lives both through the season of Lent and the rest of the church’s year.With forty reflections split over six sections And Yet is the perfect daily Lent devotional for 2022, but its undated readings can be used for periods of prayerful reflection throughout the year. This is a beautiful Christian book on lament ideal for anyone looking for to better understand how the tradition of lament and joy work together, and how they can make them a part of their everyday spiritual formation.
We may be living in dark circumstances – and yet with a few simple practices we can experience joy in every season.

No Ceiling To Hope
$13.99Servants of Christ are in the transformation business.
This kind of transformation will only happen if we refuse to be seduced by false idols like success, money, fame and security to become the church we were called to be. We need to take ownership of the problems around us and work with people who are suffering in order to find solutions and offer lasting change.
In No Ceiling to Hope, Patrick travels the globe to find examples of this change: In Bolivia, he reports how Christian backing for education projects is allowing families to find a way out of poverty. In London, XLP is mentoring young people to turn aside from violence. In Los Angeles, a new future is being offered to gang girls. In high security prisons in the UK and US, the Spirit is turning lives around. In Belfast’s Shankill Road area, a group of elderly ladies is cooking meals for men who sit all day in local pubs . . . The list is extensive, and inspiring. The common element is that, in all circumstances, Christ is offering hope.
Be inspired afresh that, when it comes to what Jesus can do, there really is no ceiling to hope.
