Beth Moore’s says “We’re insecure – you and me and every woman.  We’re insecure about everything from our looks to our worth as women, from our relationships to our futures, and everything else in between.  Our insecurities are lying to us.  It doesn’t have to be this way.” Join Beth on her “quest for a real, lasting, soul-deep security” by reading her new book So Long, Insecurity: You’ve Been a Bad Friend To Us.  New for men: How A Man Prays for His Family by John Yates.  Make an eternal difference in the lives of your family.

“There will likely be a time in our Christian journeys when…we will wrestle with God…But there must eventually come a dawn when we say, ‘OK, God, you win…not my will but thine be done.’” That’s what Gary Thomas wrote in the introduction to Nancy Leigh DeMoss’ book Surrender: The Heart That God Controls.  Grow in your spiritual life as you absorb this and her other books:  Brokenness: The Heart God Revives; and Holiness: The Heart God Purifies.

As one of Alaska’s foremost hunting and fishing guides, Rocky McElveen has lived through the most harrowing experiences his profession has to offer – plane crashes, blizzards, grizzly bear attacks – and that’s just the tip of the iceberg. These extreme adventures have developed an intimate love within McElveen for the pristine Alaskan landscape and the Creator responsible for it all. Wild Men, Wild Alaska is McElveen’s breathtaking story about the physical and spiritual challenges of life and the remarkable adventures that come with them. (CBD)
