It is a frightening thing to feel alone in the world. And in an age of self-reliance it can be difficult for someone who has been left alone-whether through abandonment or the death of a spouse or parent-to ask for the help and companionship he or she desperately needs. Widows, divorcees and the fatherless are some of the loneliest people on earth. The Bible admonishes us to care for them, yet often we do no know how to aid in the process of their healing and reintegration into the Body of Christ. Nathan Shaw has a heart for this disenfranchised portion of Christ's Church and presents healing words to those who are brokenhearted, as well as a challenge to all Christians. Whether you lead a church or just want to minister to those who need it most-or are yourself broken and bruised from the loss of a spouse or parent-this remarkable book will offer you hope and guide you in practical steps towards healing."

Freedom is in the foundation of the United States. Freedom was in the hearts of her founders. Freedom was promoted, established and protected through her Constitution. Freedom overflowed her towns and cities during the First and Second Great Awakenings. Now, however, these foundations of freedom are being challenged like never before. It doesn't take a prophet to discern the obvious: This is a defining moment. Many things hang in the balance. 2020 was marked by a corona-virus pandemic, nationwide shut-downs, unprecedented economic challenges, issues of race relations, rioting and an increasingly intense political landscape. In the midst of all the contention and strife, can you hear heaven's mandate for the United States? Great days of glory are yet ahead, but that doesn't mean there won't be a battle. A clarion call has gone out to a new breed of freedom fighter. The moment has arrived. There's no time to lose.
