Disappointments are inevitable, but most people focus on the object of their frustration rather than figuring out if their expectations were, in fact, realistic. Many marriages are struggling under the...

I will put my trust in Him ... Behold I and the children which God has given me - Hebrews 2:13

This book is different from most books on raising children. It is a plea for the parents to truly know and walk with God - for them to love God and His Word. In the correct order, focusing first on the parents, Andrew Murray then urges parents to sincerely and consistently love their children and in all tenderness and gentleness teach them as God also teaches us.

Children are a most precious gift that we receive from God, and they deserve our very best. Our faithful...

This book is written in this manner, size, and style to easily show the biblical relevance of our civic actions, as well as improving our daily relationship with our Lord.

Today, more than ever, the church needs to recognize the need for unity. The fabric of society seems to be coming apart at the seams. Societal norms are being challenged and old rifts are being exploited. Political factions cannot seem to agree on anything. Racial strife has heated up to a boiling point.
