Where the Red Cardinals Fly

$14.99

Growing up in the violent hell of one mean, evil stepfather (and subsequent worse stepfathers), an alcoholic mother, and the reality of Welfare, taught Kristina Marie to be tough.  Her grandparents visited sometimes and she learned that another name for her hideous stepfather, “Bob,” (other than “Dad,” which she detested), was “Bastard.”  That’s what grandma called him while gripping her cigarette between her lips tighter than her clenched fists, talking to grandpa in their driveway one day – and that’s what Kristina would call him from then on. She was proud that at 5 years old she had learned a more descriptive, powerful word. Kristina Marie, named after her grandma, Christine Marie, with the strength and courage of her 7 year old brother, endure hardships unfathomable to the average mind.  They warm themselves by the heat of the oven when the gas runs out of the furnace for weeks at a time, and help each other when their mom is too drunk or beat up to even know where they were or what they are doing.  They are as inseparable as the freckles across the tops of their noses.  They plan a great escape almost daily to find their real dad in Alaska. Kristina Marie finds hope in red cardinals, and often wonders where they fly when winter comes.  She wants to fly away too, but will have to wait until she can drive or buy a Greyhound bus ticket.  She knows that red cardinals fly away when the winters get too harsh, to a place of warmth and peace; and she too is determined to find the place Where the Red Cardinals Fly.

LIGHT A CANDLE AND CONSIDER ME

$15.00

The hustle and bustle of life seems to rage on at the intensity and speed (768 mph) at which sound travels, and I am left wondering how to withstand it, let alone experience any real joy in the midst of it all. And it was in this state of quandary that I approached the Throne of Grace one morning. God met me in my seeking and instructed me in His loving kindness with the following words, “Light a candle and consider Me.” And so I did. I reached for a match and lit the candle upon my desk, and I thought it was interesting the way the flame of the match touched the wick and nothing happened at first. And then, the flame doubled in size and in brightness, confirming its success. I sat in silence watching the little flame engulf the wick and dance and dance and dance as if it had been waiting to do so at first sight of the match.

I stared long enough for the wax to begin to melt and fill the air with a delightful cinnamon and lavender scent. It was then that I remembered what I was supposed to be doing…considering God. My mind drifted to a study of God’s Word I had recorded in my journal recently. I spent weeks searching His Word for any Scripture that referenced God as “I am”. Excitedly, I began to read them all. I then typed them up, and then I sorted them all by theme. Two hours must have gone by. I lost track of time because I was having so much fun that my previously heavily sighing, sad soul was encouraged. You see, something happened to me when I spent that intentional time with God, considering who He is. His protective covering embraced me as I sought His face, His Heart, and His help. I celebrated His Power, His Sovereignty, and His continually flowing Grace. And time did slow down to a beautiful whisper of peace that surpasses understanding. In God’s gracious fashion, He has invited me to share them with you…May you be equally encouraged and refreshed.

The Warrior Wife Handbook

$19.99

The Warrior Wife Handbook: Strengthening marriage through the Word, is based on two key principles: one-we find our strength from the Word, which is God (John 1:1), and two-being united with other believers ensures there will be someone to help us up when we stumble (Ecclesiastes 4:10). As you delve into The Warrior Wife Handbook, you will realize that you are no longer fighting merely with your husband in front of you or with the woman in the mirror. We do not fight with flesh and blood, but with the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms (Ephesians 6:10-18). Since The Garden of Eden, Wives have been tricked into being stale-mates rather than the help-mates God intended us to be. But there's hope! If you invite God to step in, His righteous hand will reach over and switch on the light of His love. It is then that you will hear Him say, "Are you ready to love and be loved as you never have before?" God's overarching message in this entire book is to love. Rise up! Rise up! Warrior Wives who have cried out for hope and searched for help. God is speaking. The battle is on, and to the enemy's plot against your marriage God says: GAME OVER!
