What's So Amazing About Grace?
How can Christians contend graciously with moral issues that threaten all they hold dear? Can grace survive in the midst of such atrocities as the Nazi holocaust? Can it triumph over the brutality of the Ku Klux Klan? In this study author Philip Yancey explores grace at street level. If grace is God's love for the undeserving, what does it look like in action? Yancey offers compelling, true portraits of grace's life changing power.

Get a Life! Debunking Six Myths in the Quest for Contentment"
There are misguided concepts in our culture that can drive women--even those who know Christ- toward a less than abundant life. Myths such as "If I follow Christ, my life will be trouble-free." And although women may know that fulfillment is not found in a remodeled kitchen or a new pair of shoew, these false ideas may still impact themmore than they realize or care to admit. To counteract these untruths, this new study confronts the worldly perception of what it really means to live an "abundant life" and shows how women can find true abundance.
