This Engaging Picture Book Helps Kids Explore Their True Identity Found in Christ

Kids have an innate curiosity to explore and discover new things about themselves—they learn their strengths and talents, their preferences and quirks, all while celebrating little victories along the way. While these milestones are undoubtedly important for developing children, our culture mistakenly views them as the foundation of who they are.

Deeply biblical and visually engaging, this picture book uses lyrical rhymes to help children ages 3–5 understand that their true identity is not found in their preferences, past actions, or current emotions. Instead, it is rooted in their relationship with their Creator and Savior. The one who fashioned them in his likeness and calls them to live a life for his glory. A note to parents section at the end of the book offers practical tips and additional Bible verses for instilling these truths in children as they navigate the world and build the foundation of their lives.

• Explores Identity and Purpose: Helps children understand they are not defined by their preferences, actions, or emotions, but by their relationship with God as his image bearer
• Written for Kids Ages 3–5: Engaging and lyrical, this book will keep kids entertained as they learn about themselves, their God, and the world around them
• Practical Approach for Parents and Guardians: A comments to parents section at the end of the book provides advice for furthering the conversation on the topic of identity

Through stories and illustrations, Pastor Pritchard very personally, yet gently, challenges his readers with the Good News of Jesus Christ.

"This is the best kind of ADHD book. You can open it up to any random page and find practical, actionable ideas. And those ideas are shared in a relatable, easy-to-understand style that makes you want to apply them!"--Brendan Mahan, MEd, MS, host of the ADHD Essentials podcast

If you have attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), your brain doesn't work in the same way as a "normal" or neurotypical brain does because it's wired differently. This difference in circuitry is not somehow wrong, incomplete, or shameful. However, it does present you with significant challenges like time management, organization skills, forgetfulness, trouble completing tasks, mood swings, and relationship problems.

In Your Brain's Not Broken, Dr. Tamara Rosier applies her years of coaching others to explain how ADHD affects every aspect of your life so that you can

● understand why you think, feel, and act the way you do

● dramatically improve your personal and professional life and relationships

● learn how your ADHD brain understands time, energy, and motivation

● take charge of your emotions, thought patterns, and actions for your overall emotional health

● implement practical ways to improve your ADHD and neurodivergent symptoms

Anyone with ADHD--as well as anyone who lives with or loves someone with ADHD--will find here a compassionate, encouraging guide to living well and with hope.

Also Available: Your Brain's Not Broken Workbook, a practical and interactive companion workbook that helps you apply these learnings to your own life.

Claud was just six years old when he first held a gun in his hands. Now, over twenty years later, he is returning to communities just like the one he grew up in, this time holding a Bible.

Guns to God is the incredible autobiography of Claud Jackson, a young boy who became a drug dealer and professional criminal before giving his life to God through the Alpha Course and later being called to become a Christian minister.

Though exceptional in parts, Claud's journey is remarkably relatable: it is one of being shaped by circumstance and formed through faith, of losing yourself only to be found. Guns to God is an inspiring and thought-provoking Christian autobiography for anyone wanting a stronger understanding of and insight into the struggle against drugs and drug dealing in urban communities in the UK, and the role that the Christian faith has to play.

The story of one man’s search for belonging, this an incredible and moving testament to the life-changing power of God.

Dementia is one of the most feared diseases in Western society today. Some have even gone so far as to suggest euthanasia as a solution to the perceived indignity of memory loss and the disorientation that accompanies it.

Here, John Swinton develops a practical theology of dementia for caregivers, people with dementia, ministers, hospital chaplains, and medical practitioners as he explores two primary questions:

• Who am I when I’ve forgotten who I am?

• What does it mean to love God and be loved by God when I have forgotten who God is?

Offering compassionate and carefully considered theological and pastoral responses to dementia and forgetfulness, Swinton’s Dementia redefines dementia in light of the transformative counter story that is the gospel.

Now repackaged with a new cover.

Struggling with God gets right to the heart of a great predicament for many Christians. When it feels as if our struggles are overwhelming – and our capacity for faith and hope and love is diminished – how is it possible to maintain, never mind nourish, our relationship with God?

The truth, as this deeply compassionate volume reminds us, is that Jesus came alongside people wrestling with mental health problems. Many familiar conditions, such as anxiety and depression, and more severe ones, including bipolar affective disorder and schizophrenia, are addressed by the authors here. Dispelling common myths and misconceptions, they explore the impact such mental health disorders can have on individual Christians, Church and society..

Each chapter includes biblical reflections relevant to its theme, prayers, questions to facilitate individual/group study, and pointers to further reading. In short, the book presents a Christian vision of spiritual and mental wellbeing through prayerful struggling with God.

Then the terrorist puts Will’s life on the line. Protecting their son could be the common ground they need . . . but then ghosts from the past threaten to ruin Jane and Reid for good.

A brilliantly talented storyteller, Pastor Mick vividly relates stories of reconciliation, forgiveness and healing in the lives of people we first meet in his autobiography, Blown Away.

Mick had no idea that many of those he encountered in his deeply troubled and violent past would be so miraculously touched by the grace of God - several through Mick's own future ministry. Fellow patients on the psychiatric ward, gangster mates, friends he made at AA, policemen he abhorred, estranged members of his own family . . . these are just a few of the people who feature in Walk In My Shoes.

Related to the twelve-step recovery programme, and written from a number of perspectives, this is the kind of book Mick was searching for (and failed to find) when he was researching his dissertation on addiction and recovery. A message of hope builds through each chapter, painful, confessional and sad as many of the stories are. This is not a celebration of quick fixes; it is a book that walks with those who are suffering, those in recovery, those seeking to understand them, and those who recognize, as Mick does, that 'the supernatural is just normal; it's the timing that makes it miraculous'.

Mystery and danger abound in book two of The Inkwell Chronicles, a fast-paced middle-grade fantasy series about magic ink, a secret society, and a boy who learns to make his mark.

In book two of The Inkwell Chronicles, Everett and his little sister Bea find themselves drawn even more deeply into the secret world of the Inklings, those who seek to protect the world's rapidly diminishing supply of magic Ink. When a miraculous new type of ink called Inkanto begins to appear around the world, initial celebration soon gives way to suspicions about its mysterious origins. As the race to find and control the world's supply of Ink intensifies, signs begin to appear that not is all that it seems. Will the siblings and their fellow Inklings be able to uncover the truth in time? Fans of The Silver Arrow, The Bookwanderers, and Inkheart will love this classic battle of good and evil that pits creativity against the forces that would seek to blot it out for good.
