Are you discouraged? Do your shoulders ache with the weight of carrying your problems alone? Do you wish you could find someone who understands, someone who won't condemn you for your failures or ridicule you for your mistakes? Let Chuck Swindoll put a friendly arm around your shoulders and show you how the burdens can be lifted from your heart.

Encourage Me offers tender insight into the needs of the human heart and how God wants to meet those needs through the gift of encouragement. Swindoll says, "Encouragement is awesome. Think about it: It has the capacity to lift a man's or a woman's shoulders. To breathe fresh air into the fading embers of a smoldering dream. To actually change the course of another human being's day . . . or week . . . or life."

This classic devotional is a treasury of thoughts on finding the encouragement you need--and learning to share that encouragement with others.

Buy When Life Throws You a Curve by Billy Joe Daughe

Words, spoken and written, can impart encouragement, hope and comfort. Good words, passed from one person to another, have power to help and heal. I don't remember the nurse's face, or her name, but her words found a home in my heart for a lifetime. As you read this book, I pray my words will find a home in your heart, that they will encourage, comfort and help to restore you. Consider how precious you are to the Lord, Not a mere speck of God-formed humanity on the planet, Much more than that - You are His treasure, highly valued and cherished.

God loves you. And if you will let Him, He will not only direct your path, but He will give you power to live. That's what this book is all about: Power for living. Let God give you power, not only to live, but to live abundantly. The prophet Isaiah said it best: "Those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint (Isaiah 40:31). Our problem is we are trying to do life in our own strength, and it's not enough. We need God. We need His Son, Jesus. And with God's strength working within us, we can have power for living.

As believers we have God's Word and the mind of Christ and we must find His heart. In this reflective daily devotional, Joni guides us toward God, who waits tenderly to reveal Himself and give us secret strength.

The noted evangelist compiles a selection of his finest newspaper columns that discuss a wide range of issues, including husband-wife and parental relationships, faith, depression, rejection, and facing crises

This year one in ten adults will experience the isolation and inner barrenness of major depression. It is second only to marital difficulties in causing individuals to seek pastoral counseling.

Depression and Hope is the expert, authoritative guide to appropriate ways for pastoral counselors to think about and treat depression. Building on his counseling practice, research, and personal experience, Howard Stone explains the latest understandings of depression and its symptoms, its spiritual dimensions, the likelihood of suicide, as well as the pros and cons of various drug therapies (including Prozac). In his characteristically readable, no-nonsense way, Stone then offers specific, tested ways for counselors briefly and effectively to address the physical, behavioral, cognitive, and interpersonal facets of depression.

Though enigmatic, depression is very treatable, and Stone shows how proper intervention by clergy can facilitate not only strong recovery but also strengthened faith.

What's your story? God has given us this life and what we do with it matters a great deal to Him. Your story matters because it is part of a much bigger story He is writing. You can be a person who sees your life as on loan from God. Your life can be used, enjoyed, and lived in such a way that God's story is being written through your story and your story is impacting the stories of others. Living a Life on Loan is a personal journey, discovering . . . Love - what you love is seen in your passions and purpose, in your priorities and in your values Influence - God places you alongside others so your story can intersect and influence them in such a way that God also becomes a part of their story Fortune - whether you began life with more or less resources, you have some amount of fortune that is on loan from God, waiting to be invested to accomplish His purpose Eternity - God gives you just a slice of time, yet you have the ability to influence all of eternity.

An old adage says that "for the believer there are no questions and for the unbeliever there are no answers." But in this thoughtful new book Harold M. Schulweis says, "I have come to know many believers with profound doubts and many unbelievers with deep yearnings for serious questions." It is to both groups that For Those Who Can't Believe is addressed: to those who are indifferent to established religion and to those who cling to faith but are plagued by doubts.
In a sympathetic and lucid style, the author deals with the major stumbling blocks to belief in our time. He uncovers ignored or repressed insights within the Jewish tradition itself that when brought to light help the unbeliever overcome many of the biases of conventional religious thought. The author seeks to counter the widespread disillusionment that follows in the wake of personal crises by offering the reader an alternative way of understanding suffering and the nature and character of God. He confronts head-on the conventional mind-set that obstructs an appreciation of the role of prayer, miracles, and divine revelation in our lives.
Using the rites of passage from birth to death and the rationale of Jewish religious festivals, the author helps to resolve the conflicts between feeling and reason and the tensions brought about by particularism, the love of a unique people and tradition, and universalism, the loyalty to humanity and world civilization. Rabbi Schulweis addresses a growing audience that is challenged to become both heirs and ancestors to their tradition.
