Balm in Gilead: Healing for the Repentent Heart (Fisherman Bible Studyguide)
(This unique Bible study guide is designed to lead readers...)
This unique Bible study guide is designed to lead readers into a deeper experience of God’s life-changing love through a cleansing interlude of repentance. Wherever they are in their spiritual journey, whatever personal circumstances they face, readers can receive God’s empowering, healing grace through the gifts of confession, forgiveness, obedience, and gratitude. As the author explains, “The solution to our desire for rest and for renewal is simple, and life-threatening. Repentance–the turning away from ourselves and moving toward God.” Through eight fascinating sessions, readers will be guided by exercises in Bible study, prayer, and self-reflection, all designed to help them redirect their attention to what God is doing in their lives. It’s a masterful blend of traditional, inductive Bible study and a refreshing focus on authentic spiritual renewal and intimacy with God. This meditative guide is ideal for use individually, or together with a prayer partner or small group. Either way, Balm in Gilead will release the fragrant distillation of repentance into believers’ lives.

The Judas Tree (Father Grif Mysteries)
(An Edge-of-Your-Seat Mystery Uncovering a Long-Buried ...)
An Edge-of-Your-Seat Mystery Uncovering a Long-Buried Secret Threatens a Quiet Community Mystery lovers and fans of great literature alike will be thrilled by the newest release of D.J. Delffs, The Judas Tree. Set in the sleepy, college town of Avenell the book features the return of Father Griffen Reed, a priest with a nose for mystery and a deep love for the community to whom he ministers. When Leah Schroeder, fiancée of young curate Peter Abernathy, finds the body of Dr. Simon Hotstetler hanging from a legendary oak outside the Amish community of Tremont, Father Griffin Reed is again called in to assist with the mystery. As the investigation deepens, layers of secrets come together like pieces of a quilt: a clandestine affair that split the community and ended in death twenty-five years before; an unexpected rejection of values; a young victim carrying the guilt of his father's death; and one person's commitment to vengeance no matter the costs. Simultaneously, Father Grif must trust God to hold a divided body of faith together as different denominations attempt to plan a community Easter service. When his deepening relationship with Dr. Caroline Barr, his sister's romantic interest in a pastor, and the possibility of Pete Abernathy's departure become points of contention for a planning committee, Father Grif learns how even petty differences can become malignant.

The Prayer-Centered Life: Living in Communion with the Father
( There are those rare moments of prayer when we connect ...)
There are those rare moments of prayer when we connect intimately with the father. But too often, prayer is instead rushed, unfocused, and mechanical. Just as we want our relationships with people to be meaningful, we want to connect with God in a special way. But how do we do that in the everyday busyness of life? In The Prayer-Centered Life Dudley Delffs shows readers how to direct their longing for God into consistent, constant conversation with the heavenly Father. He examines barriers to prayer, different types of prayer, and the results of prayer. If you long to live closely with the Father, The Prayer-Centered Life will show you how to make prayer central to your life, giving an intimate relationship with God ample room to grow.
