The lives of our children are being destroyed by drugs, gangs, and so often the loneliness of growing up without a mom or a dad. Many moms and dads have given up all hope of a better life for their families. People all over our world, are hungry not only for food, but also for a stabilizing force in their lives. Our mission as Christians is to bring the love, mercy, and saving grace of Christ to the hurting, the hungry, the thirsty, and the helpless, on planet earth. To impact the world in which we live, we must first focus our faith firmly on God, who created our world. When our lives are focused on Christs example, and we accept the great mission that He gave us, the world will become a better place for everyone. My dear brothers and sisters, dare to reach out and become the hands and arms of Jesus, and to embrace the hurting and brokenhearted of this world with His love. There are people dying every day all over the earth without Christs saving grace or mercy. We have Christs love living within us. Brothers and sisters, we must dare to give it away.

There is an enormous amount of confusion and deception about what it means to be a woman. Even within the church, women are continually struggling to define their femininity. Pat Ennis and Lisa Tatlock tackle the difficult question of 'What makes a godly woman?' with warmth, compassion, and directness in Becoming aWoman Who Pleases God. Readers will find themselves challenged to re-think their priorities, re-examine the position of the home, and re-work their definition of what it means to be a woman in whom God is well pleased.

These chapters point to the heart of the Christian faith. Each chapter may be read independently of the others. You will find messages such as "The Question that is the Answer," "Making Good News into Bad News," "The Exciting Hope," and many more. These messages are written for the mature Christian, the new Christian, and for people who are seeking and want to know more about the Bible. If you are not familiar with the Bible, some of the concepts may be difficult for you to understand at first. The author aims to write simply in order that even a child can understand. Many of these messages were first delivered in Japan where I served as a missionary and also in many other countries.

"So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love." 1 Corinthians 13:13 Faith, hope, and love—we hear a lot about each on their own, but how are they related? Why is this triad mentioned so often in the New Testament? Written in the form of fifty-eight questions and answers, this book reveals how these three theological virtues—also referred to as "three divine sisters"—together serve as the foundation for our whole Christian life. Deeply scriptural, steeped in key theological texts, and modeled after the classic catechisms of church history, this book will instruct our minds, stir our hearts, and motivate us to faith-filled obedience.
