You Set My Spirit Free
$21.25

40 Chapters

Additional Info
John of the Cross (1542-1591) was one of the brightest spiritual lights of the dark and tumultuous 1500s. His teaching led thousands to inner freedom from “the dark night of the soul”-the state of spiritual blindness in which most of us live our days, unaware that God is right beside us, in love, in freeing power. Through great opposition and danger, John taught countless men and women how to find freedom in the Spirit.

John’s words and deep understanding of spiritual truth will also help you find a richer experience of God, leading you to:
*a fresh infilling of the love of the Father.
*renewed wonder at the beauty and holiness of Jesus, our Lord and brother.
*the discovery of the Holy Spirit’s presence, helping you daily, with new strength and freedom from within.

Treasured and classic writings that have had a profound impact on the church down through the ages.

Are you discouraged? Do your shoulders ache with the weight of carrying your problems alone? Do you wish you could find someone who understands, someone who won’t condemn you for your failures or ridicule you for your mistakes? Let Chuck Swindoll put a friendly arm around your shoulders and show you how the burdens can be lifted from your heart. Encourage Me offers tender insight into the needs of the human heart and how God wants to meet those needs through the gift of encouragement. Swindoll says, “Encouragement is awesome. Think about it: It has the capacity to lift a man’s or a woman’s shoulders. To breathe fresh air into the fading embers of a smoldering dream. To actually change the course of another human being’s day . . . or week . . . or life.” This classic devotional is a treasury of thoughts on finding the encouragement you need — and learning to share that encouragement with others.

Bible Readings For Caregivers
$14.98

We all have opportunities to show caring to others in our daily lives. Caregiving is not limited to the professionals. Whenever we reach out in empathy to someone in need we are caregivers. We may stand beside cheer to a lonely person. We may allow a person to express feelings about a job loss or the agony of a divorce. As a member of the body of Christ, “if one part suffers, every part suffers with it” (1 Cor. 12:26). If we listen through the pain, walk with the person through troubled times, and present a word of hope in Christ, we offer Christian caring.
