While our church doctrine teaches that men and women are co-laborers and co-heirs in Christ, does our practice reflect that truth? And what do we lose in our failures? To serve effectively together as brothers and sisters, we must be able to speak about good and hard things. These essays by our sisters and mothers in the church can help us know, grow and do better. Here are redemptive celebrations, gentle corrections, and winsome invitations from the diversity of women God has given as gifts to the church body. Read and listen well so that may we better serve each other and God's kingdom.

The season of Lent helps prepare us to celebrate Easter, the greatest Christian holiday. We begin by marking our foreheads on Ash Wednesday, a practice that reminds us of our frailty and mortality. From dust we have come, and to dust we shall return. Then we spend the next forty days (we don't count Sundays) plunging into the true ministry Christ gives his people. We sacrifice or fast, not to prove ourselves, or make ourselves worthy, but because he has sacrificed for us. The season ends with Good Friday, Holy Saturday, and finally Easter Sunday, the greatest day. Hallelujah, Christ has risen This devotional booklet will help guide you. It has daily readings through Luke 19-24, through the last week of Jesus' life, his death, and his resurrection. We await his return.

Doug Serven met Julie Halbert in the cafeteria at Mizzou. What happened next is an unexpected love story spanning decades. Okay, that's a bit much. It's not epic by any means, but sticking together is less and less common. In this short book, Doug writes entries about his wife. He takes a letter A-Z, and springboards into an attribute to describe his love for Julie. Ambrosial to Zygotes.

Posing the question, "what does God want?" for people in their twenties, this book offers readers advice on how to align their goals with heavenly principles while finding personal satisfaction in love, on the job, and in life in general. Original.
