In a style that is reverent and faith-filled, Anne Weems reflects on the mystery of the Christmas season. Included in this collection are twenty-six new poems as well as popular selections from her earlier works, especially Reaching for Rainbows and Family Faith Stories. Capturing the spirit of joyful celebration, they can be used in worship services, read aloud at family gatherings, or used by individuals for quiet reflection.

Shalom means much more than prosperity, more than a sense of well-being, and more than quiet and calmness. It is more than the absence of stress and much more than peace. It is a peace that surpasses understanding; it is a promised gift. This book of eloquent poems, monologues, and worship resources is about the search for shalom.

In her book Reaching for Rainbows, Ann Weems revealed a graceful style, a joyous approach to worship, and an uncommon understanding of human beings in their everyday settings and in their relationship to God. Now, the popular author offers a powerful and inspiring statement on what she considers her greatest inheritance--a sustaining faith. She reflects on her family, from the Scottish ancestors who came to this country seeking religious freedom, down through the generations to her own children.

Weems's lyrical poetry is a reminder of the importance of true discipleship. She challenges Christians to look past the ongoing distractions of the "busy work" of church meetings and socials, new programs and technology, and inevitable conflict, while reminding readers in her singularly expressive voice that the "institution" of the church is, at heart, quite simply all about Jesus. This collection of poems, written to be used in worship, in personal devotions, and in discussion groups, is organized to follow the liturgical year from Advent through Easter.

The problems that families face today-polygamous practices, family violence, unholy alliances, and marital infidelity-point to an eschatological state, or what is more commonly referred to as the Last Days. In his timely religious guide "Families in the Last Days," author Howard Weems explains the art of maintaining family cohesion and a relationship with God while living among great evil and unparalleled social ills during the interval of awaiting the second return of Jesus.

"Families in the Last Days" is a theological examination of the social milieu that Christian families must...

A simple and sustainable path to a deep and satisfying walk with Christ

There are thousands of how-to books for improving various areas of life--self, relationships, finances, fitness, business, marriage, family. And there are nearly as many books written for believers offering a framework for the "right" approach to a new life in God.

What if it were possible, Pastor Stovall Weems asks, to boil it all down to one practical, un-complicated principle that would yield the vibrant, purposeful spiritual life so many are looking for? What if,...

Life is not a sprint; it's a marathon. These well-known words of wisdom remind us to pace ourselves in the journey of life so we reach the finish line with no regrets. Pacing yourself is not as easy as it sounds. Life tends to take on a pace of its own which when left unchecked, will drive us toward burnout and fatigue. We can easily become driven by care, worry, and ambition rather than led by the Holy Spirit. We may tend to think of burnout as a modern problem, but we can see that people in Jesus' day felt their own kind of spiritual and emotional fatigue. Why...
