 |
This book reflects
on his experience of disability not as a medical condition in serach
of a cure, nor as a tragedy to be pitied, but as a cross-cultural
adventure similar to learning to live in a foreign country. Molsberry
also offers biblical and theological reflection... |
 |
"Not By Sight" helps friends and family to see the courage and faith that abounds in those with debilitating conditions! It also gives them simple, pragmatic examples of "What to say" and "What not to say" in order to truly be a source of encouragement. |
 |
Beautifully written, this is a look into the hearts and minds of people suffering serious illness: into the terrors that they often don't express directly... |
 |
An amazing look at the decisions behind the ministry of Billy Graham that he made. Many nice stories about his experience, interlaced with leadership lessons anyone can learn from, but especially those in ministry. |

curling iron) |

|
This collection
of personal prayers and Scriptures leads the weary to rest during
a hectic schedule, directs the lost to God's will during confusing
times, and leads the broken to the Lord's mending touch. |

Lisa found these
cards at the Christian Retail Show and is giving them as Christmas
presents to the family on her list. They are so cool! You just sit
the card "holder" on your dashboard and choose from 1
of the 10 scriptures and it reflects up into your windshield. Change
it as often as you like. |
|
It's a black v-neck t-shirt with this
|
Finally a T-shirt that is flattering for anyone. This black, V-neck pres-shrunk "L-Lofteez-V" T-Shirt by Fruit Of The Loom feels like quality and the print turned out wonderfully. Lisa wears hers all the time and it just gets more cozy. Plus, it's fun and doesn't really say anything about illness--somedays we just don't want to tell the world we have a chronic illness but rather about our HOPE!
|
 |
|
 |
Embroidered Ladies Fleece "jacket" with full zipper on front Snuggle up in this cozy fleece zip up jacket that will flatter any figure. Zip up pockets on both sides, stylish stitching on the back and the "Hope Endures" embroidered logo will make this a "keeper" for many years to come. |

Nancy Guthrie
writes in her latest book, "It's this disappointment with God,
or with our experience or understanding of God, that creates real
inner conflict. It seems so terribly unspiritual to admit that the
Christian life, as we've experienced it so far, does not seem to
really be what Jesus meant by "abundant life." It often
feels as if we've missed it somehow, as if everybody else must be
experiencing something we can't seem to achieve, but we don't want
to admit it to ourselves or anyone else." |
 |
A great little package of the Beyond Casserile book along with bookmarks to help people understand what to say, not say, how to reach out! |
 |
|
 |
Motherhood is a blessing, a joy, a privilege, and a responsibility of eternal significance, but it is also equal parts the source of disappointment, discarded dreams, loss of identity and chronic fatigue... |
 |
|
 |
"HOPE" Sign $2.75 This is a 7" x 3" blue wooden sign that says "HOPE." We love these little things that remind us to keep HOPE a part of our every day. Here in the Rest Ministries' office we have it hanging on a wall. If you're the crafty kind you could add some sparkle too! |
 |

She has even included a full-length instructional workout DVD for readers to follow along with! |
 |
This is one of the best books I've ever read on healing and the emotional struggle while we wait to see what God will do. When it originally went out of print, I grieved! It's one of the books Rest Ministries should have available! Thankfully, it's now back in print. We're excited to have it for you! - Lisa Copen, Rest Ministries |
 |
Each unique, four-color tear-out card (45 of them) includes a beautiful design, as well as a message and related scripture promise that are perfect for birthdays, get wells, hang in there's, even "just because." These little reminders of God's love and His promises are a delight to give - and to receive. |
 |
Are your family gatherings a mess? This book is a practical resource with ideas to help build relationships of understanding and respect.

 |
"Repay no one evil for evil" (Romans 12:17 NKJV). Easier said than done, right? But that's exactly what John Bevere recommends in How to Respond When You Feel Mistreated. |
|

 |
When
this book arrived, He
Cares New Testament with Psalms and Proverbs, I admit
it... I'm guilty of putting it aside with other mail. BUT once I
picked it up and started flipping through it I couldn't believe
it! It had "devotional reflections for those facing serious
illness." And let's face it: if it's anything less than strep
throat that you have-- it feels serious! This book is perfectly
appropriate for those with chronic illness! Yipee! |
 |

When we are
abandoned by the things we value, when we discover that no matter
how much we have gathered we do not have enough, when we realize
that even in the currency we value we are very poor, we are ready
to start talking to God. Not before. Faith means betting our lives
on the grace of God. (page 75) |
 |
Writing for
ordinary Christians, Boyd wrestles with a variety of answers that
have been offered by theologians and pastors in the past. He finds
that a fully Christian approach must keep the person and work of
Jesus Christ at the very center of what we say about human suffering
and God's place in it. Yet this is often just what is missing and
what . . . |

Like most women,
you probably have a life filled with modern-day "idols"
