Author(s): Jami Amerine
Publisher: Kregel Publications
Price: $2.99       (Aug 19-20)

Encourages women on a day-by-day journey to find their way back to peace

Too often, women feel like their only hope for reducing stress is to push through and pray to make it to the other side. Well-intended projects to help the family, events to support the community, and ministries for church swirl into a cluttered, chaotic schedule. Yet worry is eating them alive from within.

Being stressed isn’t the abundant life Christ wants for his people. Artist and author Jami Amerine knows the heaviness of expectations–both internal and external. And she has discovered how to retrain the mind against the framework worry lays down. In easily digestible daily readings, she shares what she’s learned and offers the right tools for the job.

Through her witty, friendly words, vibrant original art, and rock-solid scriptural truth, Jami invites readers to join her on a journey to declutter the mind and uncover a spirit freshly renovated into a truly worry-free existence.

 

True North: Choosing God in the Frustrations of Life

This e-book was chosen by our readers to be placed on sale.

Author(s): Gary Heim
Publisher: Kregel Publications
Price: $2.99       (Aug 26-27)

Every day we face some kind of frustration: flat tires, flooded basements, wounding words, a broken body, a troubled marriage–trouble comes in all shapes and sizes and can happen when we least expect it. While everyone struggles, few people have learned to struggle well. But it’s not impossible!

Frustrations arise when we look to people and things of this world to fill our desires, rather than to the
only One who can really satisfy us. True North offers a unique, biblical paradigm that gives understanding and help to turn to God in the frustrations of life. Frustration often causes us to “go south” and react in the flesh. We grumble and grasp. God calls us to “go north” and respond to hardship with wisdom and redemptive love. Combining biblical insight with personal stories, practical help, and compelling examples, authors Gary and Lisa Heim encourage readers to turn from self-centered grumbling and grasping to Christ-centered gratitude and giving. As they read stories of hardships and trials, successes and profits, readers will see how frustrations can actually help them grow in their personal lives, in their marriages, in their parenting, and in their ministries.
