Blessed Endurance

Moving Beyond Despair to Hope  
John R Wimmer, Elise Erikson Barrett

Where is God when we are hurting or in despair? How can we find hope even when we feel hopeless? Pain, struggle, and despair are part of life, and they test our character as God's people.

50 Words for Easter People

John Wesley Zwonunondiita Kurewa

By together delving into the meaning of the event, and into God's nature, the author and his brother came to a more profound understanding of God's purpose regarding the events of our lives. Challenged by their discussi...
