Book excerpt: A broken family finds its way back together in this captivating story from the author of Church of the Dog A charismatic author with a voice and message all her own, Kaya McLaren has become beloved in the book world as much for her upbeat energy as for her rich storytelling. In On the Divinity of Second Chances, she portrays a family on the brink of dissolution-a mother besieged by middle age, a distant father lost in daily life, and their three teenage children struggling in various ways with the family's disintegration even as they conceal a secret that could send their parents further over the edge. With the help of a group of tap-dancing old ladies, a sensual tango teacher, and a lot of luck, this family is about to learn that everyone gets a second chance which, as McLaren beautifully reminds us in this inspiring novel, is sometimes even better than the first.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For centuries the New Testament book of Hebrews has been interpreted as though it had been written for Jewish Christians in danger of lapsing back into legalism and religious ceremony. This view is now being challenged by current scholarship. Rather than attacking the Old Testament and Judaism, the author of Hebrews praises the person and work of Jesus through a series of comparisons on which he bases exhortations and warnings to the present people of God. Hebrews urges God's people to learn from past mistakes and failures, and to take up the challenge in difficult times to live faithfully in the new relationship to God through Jesus, God's Son. In The Second Chance for God's People: Messages from Hebrews, Quaker pastor and professor Timothy W. Seid encourages today's church to respond to the challenge of Hebrews: first individually by progressing in spiritual and moral maturity, and second collectively by being God's faithful people in the world. In the light of ancient Greek language and rhetoric after having extensively researched Hebrews, Seid interprets the text of Hebrews section by section in an accessible and nontechnical way while also illustrating and applying the meaning of the text for the contemporary church.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Marcia Nelson reveals the U-turns and turning points on the path toward peace, freedom, and happiness. She helps us recognize GodOs saving grace by offering intimate glimpses into the lives of people whose faith has transformed their outlook and circumstances. Having traveled around the country to gather these stories, Nelson introduces us to women and men who have fought drug and alcohol addiction, traded crime for caring, converted loss and illness into compassion, and turned despair into joy. In meeting these people, and in sharing in NelsonOs own journey of faith, we encounter what is best about us and also most human: the ability to make mistakes, make amends, and make good. Along the way, we encounter the God who never gives up on us.

Book excerpt: The main purpose of the book is to provide solid arguments for Catholics who have left their faith to think again about their current positions and better know the arguments behind Church's teaching, particularly those related to controversial contemporary issues. It also provides arguments for practicing Catholics to speak about God with their friends and colleagues. The book is mainly addressed to college and young professionals, but other readers with intellectual interests should also benefit from it. Following the First Letter of Saint Peter, we Christians should always be ready to provide answers: "... for people who ask you the reason for the hope that you have... with courtesy and respect" (1 Peter 3:14-16).

Book excerpt: The Kingdom Mentality is a book that God put in my heart a long time ago. I knew it was the perfect will of God for me to write this book, but I was waiting for Gods perfect timing so that it could be released in the right season. In the times that we are living in, many people are not resting in Gods peace because they do not spend enough time in Gods presence. Financial pressure is one of the biggest things that keep us too busy to make time for God. Satan uses many weapons to attack the mind of an individual in times of crisis, such as stress, anxiety, depression, discouragement about your calling, and probably the worst one is unbelief in the promises of God. If this is your case, then consider this book as a divine appointment of God for your life that will renew your mind, bring about the healing of your faith, and help you to believe that God has more for you because he is a god of second chances. The Bible says that all things work together for good for those who love God and are called according to his purpose. God loves you so much that he wants to take all your failures and disappointments and use them to bless others so what the enemy has meant for evil, God is able to turn it around and use it for good. The fact that this book is in your hands means that Godthe god of all provision, the god that has closed so many doors to bring you to the right dooris preparing you to enter into one of the best seasons of your life and that season will begin with one simple thing; that you believe that you qualify to have more because if you do not believe it, then your faith may have been burned down. Probably you have experienced a perceived failure, and you may need to hear the prophetic words that are contained in this book to bring the necessary healing of your faith. Maybe you have forgotten that no matter how bad your present situation looks, God is still in control of everything in your life. Maybe the godly kingdom mentality that you used to have is long gone because you have prayed, fasted, and chased the Lord and nothing changed, or maybe you feel like you cannot continue to live the Christian life anymore, but I have good news for you! God has been working behind the scenes to prepare you to begin a better life, and the only one thing you need to understand is that God works from the inside out, not from the outside in. The apostle Paul said in the book of Romans chapter 12, Lets be transformed by the renewing of our minds. As a teacher that moves in the prophetic word of knowledge, I am here to tell you that the worst is over for your life and the best is yet to come! I pray that you meditate on the words of this book in the unity of the Holy Spirit of God so the godly mentality that was stolen in the garden from Adam and Eve will be restored when you see the power of his resurrection through the cross by Jesus Christ. I pray that this book will help you to receive the necessary healing of your faith so you will be able to press on toward your destiny even through times of difficulty. I pray that your kingdom mentality will be renewed the way God did it from your mothers womb. Cordially, Pastor Oscar Pelaez
