Lewis's The Screwtape Letters has entertained and enlightened readers the world over with its sly and ironic portrayal of human life and foibles from the unique vantage point of Screwtape, a highly placed assistant to "Our Father Below." At once wildly comic, deadly serious, and strikingly original, C.S. Lewis gives us the correspondence of the wordly-wise devil to his nephew Wormwood, a novice demon in charge of securing the damnation of an ordinary young man. The Screwtape Letters is the most engaging account of temptation—and triumph over it—ever written. </p>]]></description><link>https://grant.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S980C246307</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://grant.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S980C246307</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Lewis, C.

The God of the universe—the Creator of nitrogen and pine needles, galaxies and E-minor—loves us with a radical, unconditional, self-sacrificing love. And what is our typical response?

Because the answer to religious complacency isn't working harder at a list of do's and don'ts—it's falling in love with God. And once you encounter His love, as Francis describes it, you will never be the same.

She zealously promoted the Basic Life Principles of Bill Gothard,</p><li>fastidiously obeying the modesty guidelines (no shorts or jeans, only dresses),</li><li>eagerly submitting to the umbrella of authority (any disobedience of parents would place her outside God's protection),</li><li>promoting the relationship standard of courtship, and</li><li>avoiding any music with a worldly beat, among others.</li><p> </p><p>Jinger, along with three of her sisters, wrote a New York Times bestseller about their religious convictions.

He was committed to the Bible, but he didn't believe many of the things Jinger had always assumed were true. His influence, along with the help of a pastor named Jeremy Vuolo, caused Jinger to see that her life was built on rules, not God's Word.</p><p>Jinger committed to studying the Bible—truly understanding it—for the first time.

In the wise and soulful tradition of teachers like Shauna Niequist and Brene Brown, therapist Aundi Kolber debuts with Try Softerhelping us align our mind, body, and soul to live the life God created for us.
In a world that preaches a "try harder" gospel―just keep going, keep hustling, keep pretending we're all fine―we're left exhausted, overwhelmed, anxious, and numb to our lives. If we're honest, we've been overfunctioning and hurtling toward burnout for so long, we can't even imagine another way. How else will things get done? How else will we survive?
It doesn't have to be this way.
Aundi Kolber believes we don't have to white-knuckle our way through life, stuck in survival mode and stressed. In her debut book, Try Softer, she'll show us how God specifically designed our bodies and minds to work together to process our stories and work through obstacles. Through the latest psychology, practical clinical exercises, and her own personal story, Aundi equips and empowers us to connect us to our truest self and truly live. This is the "try softer" life.
In Try Softer you'll learn how to: - Know and set emotional and relational boundaries
- Make sense of the difficult experiences you've had
- Identify your attachment style―and how that affects your relationships today
- Move through emotions rather than get stuck by them
- Grow in self-compassion and talk back to your inner critic
Trying softer is sacred work. And while the healing journey won't be perfect or easy, it will be worth it. Because this is what we were made for: a living, breathing, moving, feeling, connected, beautifully incarnational life.]]></description><link>https://grant.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S980C4821779</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://grant.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S980C4821779</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Kolber, Aundi]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2020 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://grant.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/4821779980</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle>A Fresh Approach to Move Us out of Anxiety, Stress, and Survival Mode—and into a Life of Connection and Joy</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781496439673/MC.GIF&amp;client=lakep&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Risen Motherhood]]></title><description><![CDATA[<P><B>A PUBLISHERS WEEKLY BESTSELLER<BR /> Motherhood is hard.

At just under five feet tall, Virginia Prodan was no match for the towering 6' 10" gun-wielding assassin the Romanian government sent to her office to take her life. It was not the first time her life had been threatened―nor would it be the last.
As a young attorney under Nicolae Ceausescu's brutal communist regime, Virginia had spent her entire life searching for the truth. When she finally found it in the pages of the most forbidden book in all of Romania, Virginia accepted the divine call to defend fellow followers of Christ against unjust persecution in an otherwise ungodly land.
In this powerful and riveting memoir, Virginia experienced one of the darkest moments in Romanian history as she faced: - Being kidnapped, beaten, tortured, and placed under house arrest
- Coming within seconds of being executed under the orders of Ceausescu himself
- Eluding her enemies time and again
- Exposing the appalling secret that would ultimately lead to the demise of Ceausescu's evil empire
The extraordinary true story of one Christian lawyer's faith and bravery to defend religious freedom will inspire courage in all who read it.]]></description><link>https://grant.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S980C2674981</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://grant.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S980C2674981</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Prodan, Virginia]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 31 Jan 2016 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://grant.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2674981980</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle/><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781496414489/MC.GIF&amp;client=lakep&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's Okay Not to Be Okay]]></title><description><![CDATA[<b>When Sheila Walsh discovered "I'm not good enough and I'm good with that," everything started to change.<br/></b>We've all experienced that moment when we wish we could start all over again.

Now with a new afterword! A five star–reviewed, unforgettable story that bestselling author Homer Hickam calls "one of the most eloquent, moving, irresistible true stories" he's ever read. The Waiting will touch your heart and make you believe in love's enduring legacy, as well as the power of prayer.
In 1928, 16-year-old Minka was on a picnic in the woods when she was assaulted and raped. And suddenly this innocent farm girl—who still thought the stork brought babies—was pregnant. The story that follows has been almost a hundred years in the making. After a lifetime of separation, Minka whispered an impossible prayer for the first time: Lord, I'd like to see Betty Jane before I die. What happened next was a miracle. Written by Cathy LaGrow (Minka's granddaughter), The Waiting brings three generations of this most unusual family together over the course of a century in a story of faith that triumphs, forgiveness that sets us free, and love that never forgets. (As seen on The Today Show.)
This moving true story will: - Capture your heart as it details the sorrow and restoration of a mother and daughter
- Inspire you to keep praying
- Leave you in awe over the redemption only God can bring
Prepare to have your heart touched as you experience this remarkable story of hope and answered prayer.]]></description><link>https://grant.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S980C3948285</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://grant.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S980C3948285</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[LaGrow, Cathy, Coloma, Cindy]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2015 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://grant.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/3948285980</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle>The True Story of a Lost Child, a Lifetime of Longing, and a Miracle for a Mother Who Never Gave Up</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781496408600/MC.GIF&amp;client=lakep&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Almost Amish]]></title><description><![CDATA[Have you ever stopped to think, Maybe the Amish are on to something? Look around. We tweet while we drive, we talk while we text, and we surf the Internet until we fall asleep. We are essentially plugged in and available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Rather than mastering technology, we have allowed technology to master us. We are an exhausted nation. No one has enough time, everyone feels stressed out, and our kids spend more hours staring at a screen each week than they do playing outside. It's time to simplify our lives, make faith and family the focal point, and recapture the lost art of simple living. Building on the basic principles of Amish life, Nancy Sleeth shows readers how making conscious choices to limit (and in some cases eliminate) technology's hold on our lives and getting back to basics can help us lead calmer, more focused, less harried lives that result in stronger, deeper relationships with our families, friends, and God.]]></description><link>https://grant.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S980C899364</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://grant.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S980C899364</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Sleeth, Nancy]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 2012 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://grant.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/899364980</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle>One Woman&apos;s Quest for a Slower, Simpler, More Sustainable Life</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781414369372/MC.GIF&amp;client=lakep&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[To Heaven and Back]]></title><description><![CDATA[<b>#1 <i>NEW YORK TIMES </i>BESTSELLER • OVER ONE MILLION COPIES SOLD!

Rebecca never felt safe as a child. In 1969, her father, Robert Nichols, moved to Sellerstown, North Carolina, to serve as a pastor. There he found a small, southern community eager to welcome him―with one exception. Glaring at him from pew number seven was a man obsessed with controlling the church. Determined to get rid of anyone who stood in his way, he unleashed a plan of terror that was more devastating and violent than the Nichols family could have ever imagined. Refusing to be driven away by acts of intimidation, Rebecca's father stood his ground until one night when an armed man walked into the family's kitchen . . . And Rebecca's life was shattered.
If anyone had a reason to harbor hatred and seek personal revenge, it would be Rebecca. Yet The Devil in Pew Number Seven tells a different story. In this unforgettable memoir, she shares: - A harrowing testimony of God's grace amidst hardships and grief
- A firsthand account of astounding mercy in the face of betrayal
- An inspirational reminder of the redemption and healing only Christ can bring
This is the amazing true story of relentless persecution, one family's faith and courage in the face of it, and a daughter whose parents taught her the power of forgiveness.]]></description><link>https://grant.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S980C391663</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://grant.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S980C391663</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Alonzo, Rebecca Nichols, DeMoss, Bob]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 31 Jan 2010 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://grant.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/391663980</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle/><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781414338293/MC.GIF&amp;client=lakep&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Great Eight]]></title><description><![CDATA[<b>Beloved Olympic skater shares his secrets to happiness on and off the ice.</b><br>Scott Hamilton has experienced the heights of accomplishment and the depths of disease, from winning the Gold to becoming a cancer and brain tumor survivor.
