Wrestling With An Angel
$9.99
It sounded at first like something out of an old horror movie. I thought maybe someone was just playing around, but then I heard it again and again, a loud piercing cry, and less like Hollywood every time. The windows were down in my police cruiser on that warm fall day, but I still couldn’t tell where the sounds came from. I began looking around for the unlikely sight of someone being disemboweled in a mall parking lot on a Saturday afternoon. Seeing nothing, and still hearing the screams, I called in a “disturbance.’ Around the next corner I found the source of the commotion. So begins Greg Lucas’ captivating account of life as a husband, a police officer, and Jake’s dad. Jake Lucas, the first of four children, lives with severe physical and mental challenges. Caring for him each day is an ordeal few of us can imagine, and this story of Jake’s first 17 years is not one you will soon forget. But the remarkable thing is how the whole narrative is saturated with wonder at the grace and goodness of God, who brings hope and promise through his Son into the darkest of circumstances. In this book, we see that Jake’s problems are our problems, only bigger, and the challenges of caring for him carry profound lessons about God’s care for us. Wrestling with an Angel is about tragedy and laughter and pain and joy. It is about faith and grace and endurance and God’s unfailing, loving wisdom daily being worked out in each of our lives, whatever the nature or extent of our difficulties. Here is a book that may explain faith to you in ways you never quite grasped, through a life few of us can relate to. When it is all done, we come away better able to live as Christ calls us to live.

Dream Worth Pursuing
$16.99God has placed within every woman a world of potential. There are certain strengths and aptitudes found chiefly among females-including nurture, compassion, and a bent toward self-sacrifice for her spouse, children, family, and community-that have tremendous power to shape our society for the better. Yet it is these very traits that often keep a woman’s focus on others, to the extent that she loses sight of the dreams God has planted in her heart.
Since when did it become wrong for women to dream? Since when did female followers of Christ forget their divine call to create, pioneer, lead, innovate, and shatter glass ceilings? When a woman fails to appreciate her identity as a daughter of the King, she loses sight of her value-and the invaluable worth of her God-given dreams.
