  Courage For Caregivers

  $20.00

  Drawing on the writings and wisdom of Henri J. M. Nouwen’s themes of caregiving, Marjorie J. Thompson offers a vulnerable exploration of caregiving intertwined with both her own many years of intimate caregiving of family members and collected stories of caregivers in varied settings and stages of life.

  While not shying away from the demanding physical, emotional, and spiritual challenges of caregiving, Courage for Caregivers also celebrates the gifts of caregiving grounded in the belovedness both caregiver and care receiver share in God’s eyes.

  Practical leader guides and resources make Courage for Caregivers a tool that moves smoothly from individual encouragement to group and congregational ministry to develop support for the universal experience of caregiving.

  Forgiveness : A Lenten Study

  $16.00

  Forgiving others and humbly asking for forgiveness are central disciplines for all Christian believers. Lent, a time to reflect on our Christian journey, is an appropriate time to deepen our understanding and practice of forgiveness. Marjorie J. Thompson, author of the best-selling book Soul Feast, takes a close look at our understanding of forgiveness in this encouraging study. In six brief chapters, Thompson addresses such questions as the following:
  Is forgiveness a Christian duty under all circumstances? Or are there situations when Christians do not need to forgive?
  Is forgiveness a matter between individuals, or is it meaningful only in the context of communities?
  Is forgiving the best route to healing for the injured?
  How do we get past emotional barriers to real forgiveness?

  Using biblical examples and real-life situations, Thompson illustrates each chapter’s theme in an informative and engaging way. A study guide is also included at the back of the book that is appropriate for either individual reflection or group discussion. With clarity, insight, and sensitivity, this book is the perfect resource for examining both our ability to forgive and our own need for forgiveness.

  Way Of Blessedness Participants Book (Student/Study Guide)

  $12.99

  The Way of Blessedness invites readers to cultivate the dispositions of the soul as outlined in Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount, which suit us for the reign of God while drawing us into its realm.

  Jesus portrays the reign of God in terms that are contrary to social hierarchy — in his time as well as our own. It is a realm of outlandish generosity and uncommon compassion.

  This is a 9-week study of the spiritual practices that help us turn away from pride and fill us with God’s abundant love. As we’re transformed by God’s love, we’re able to become people who mourn with and for others and our world, who understand and live out Jesus’ example of meekness, who hunger and thirst for holiness, who humbly offer and receive mercy, whose hearts are pure and able to see the imprint of God in all things, who seek peace, and who hold strong in our faith through adversity.

  The Way of Blessedness guides participants along a path that offers clarity to our way of life and the very life of God’s kingdom.

  This is the third resource in the Companions in Christ series and is ideal for small group study.
