Product Description
Work. It's the place where we spend the best of our time and energy. Many of us spend more than forty hours a week at our places of employment, but although we allow our Christianity to penetrate our family life, our social calendar, even our finances, we often shrink from blending our faith into our work.
Why are the worlds of faith and work so out of sync? In Life@Work, leadership expert John Maxwell teams up with the founders of The Life@Work Journal to bring a clear picture of what being a Christian on the job should look like. You'll discover the basic tools you should always carry with you on the job: calling, service, character, and skill. By incorporating pertinent biblical examples and answering practical questions such as "Should I release this vendor from his obligation to pay because I am a Christian?", you'll be equipped to make a difference in your everyday life.

Product Description
Twenty-one-year-old Grace Byler longs to find her missing mother and to uncover the secret that drove her to leave them three weeks before. Grace suspects the reason has to do with her father and his reserved, uncommunicative ways. This conviction led Grace to break off her betrothal to her quiet, staid beau, and she is now resigned to remain single. But when the young Amishman she thought was courting her best friend takes a sudden interest in her, Grace is befuddled and wonders if he can be trusted.
"Englisher" Heather Lang has come to Amish country to relive fond memories of her mother and to contemplate a grave medical prognosis of her own. While in Bird-in-Hand, Heather meets Grace Byler and the two young women strike up a fast friendship, amazed by how well they click.



Product Description
AUDIO CD: Intentional acts of generosity can open our lives to the very best God has to offer. Macomber builds her book on the biblical story of Jesus' multiplication of five loaves and two fishes, a miracle recorded in all four gospels, using her storytelling prowess to retell the tale. She then takes readers on a journey through the true meaning of generosity (and it's not about cash): encouragement, good deeds, forgiveness and believing the best. She also delves into giving, listening and hospitality, and dips into what generosity means when it comes to Christmas, caregiving and prayer. The theme, Macomber says, is, simply, to offer what you have. She fills out her chapters with real-life stories, suggestions for Simple Acts and brief Discovery sections. This is a useful, inspiring study of an underpracticed art, written by one who has received, given and witnessed generosity.



Product Description
Maggie Fletcher took one look at the mine she'd come thousands of miles to inherit and decided that once she adjusted to the vile living conditions, life wouldn't be so bad. It would be worse. If that weren't enough, no man in the town of Hoodee Doo would work for her because the mine, nicknamed the Hellhole, was haunted.
T. G. Manning also had a problem -- aside from his drinking, his debts, and his past. He couldn't mind his own business, least of all when a beautiful woman was involved.
So T. G. hired a crew of female ex-convicts to work the Hellhole and although the mine's luck wasn't changing much, his was: he was beginning to look damn good to Maggie. She had never seen eves so remarkably blue, or a chest so broad and manly. In fact, she was beginning to wonder if the treasure she sought was inside the cave, or in the arms of a man who promised a lifetime of riches....
