Taste and See

by Margaret Feinberg

Taste and SeeGod is a foodie who wants to transform your supper into sacrament. That’s the message of Margaret Feinberg’s latest book, Taste and See. In this groundbreaking book, Feinberg provides a culinary exploration of Scripture. Readers will descend 400 feet below ground into the frosty white caverns of a salt mine, fish in the Sea of Galilee, bake fresh matzo at Yale University and more! With each visit, Margate asks “How do you read these Scriptures, not as theologians, but in light of what you do every day?” The answers to questions like these will forever change the way you read the Bible – and approach every meal. Readers will also receive dozens of recipes to try themselves at home!

 

Suffering is Never for Nothing

by Elisabeth Elliot

Suffering is Never for NothingHard times come for all in life, with no real explanation. When we walk through suffering, it has the potential to devastate and destroy, or to be the gateway to gratitude and joy. Elisabeth Elliot was no stranger to suffering. Her first husband, Jim, was murdered by the Waoroni people in Ecuador moments after he arrived in hopes of sharing the gospel. Her second husband was lost to cancer. Yet, it was in her deepest suffering that she learned the deepest lessons about God. Elliot discovered that suffering and love are inexplicably linked, as God’s love for His people is evidence in His sending Jesus to carry our sins, griefs, and sufferings on the cross. An important read for anyone walking a path of grief who needs a reminder that suffering is never for nothing.

Pathways: From Providence to Purpose

by Tony Evans

PathwaysGod has a purpose for your life, and every action or event that occurs within it has been used to make that purpose a reality. The story of Esther appears to be a series of coincidences strung together to deliver the Jews from certain death. However, God selected Esther for a particular purpose at a particular time. In Pathways, Evans shows how God leads us along “pathways to purpose”, just as he worked in Esther’s circumstances, appointing her to the throne and empowering her to save the Jewish people. Discover your own pathway to purpose through learning principles on providence as Tony Evans takes us on a journey of epic proportions.

Brave Love is about what it means to be human, how it feels to be broken and afraid, and what happens when we dare to love deeply. You don’t have to try harder or be better. You don’t have to prove yourself and you don’t have to make others okay. In this freedom you will find more peace and joy. An empowering read for women everywhere!
