Making Waves : 50 Stories About Sharing Love And Changing The World
$14.99
When Jesus says love our enemies, some people take him literally.
What happens when you start to love your enemies and serve others? Read about fifty inspiring people who have chosen to love their enemies and done good to those who harmed them. Filled with true stories from past and present, this captivating book is a showcase of heroes who have stood up for what’s right to make the world a better place.
What would it mean to step between soldiers and someone they are trying to harm? Could you love the person who bullied your friend? Would you rescue the man chasing you across a frozen river because of your beliefs? Would you serve a meal to the people trying to break into your house?
Fifty ordinary people. Fifty extraordinary acts of peace.
From historical figures like Martin Luther King and Dirk Willems to lesser-known contemporary people such as Tegla Laroupe and Natalie Hampton, Making Waves helps readers ages nine to twelve learn the stories of courageous Christians who said no to violence and yes to loving their enemies. Highlights peace efforts of people from different Christian traditions around the world, and it can be used in conjunction with the Shine curriculum.

Life Lessons From James
$14.99Do your Monday actions reflect your Sunday worship? How about your claims to faith? Is your life full of noticeable changes and actions? James, the half-brother of Jesus, wasn’t impressed with talk. He knew that a life of faith was all about actions that revealed a difference in a person’s life. For him, it was not that works save the Christian, but that they mark the Christian. In his letter, he boldly deals with practical issues of faith not bound by culture or place. He shows the importance of living a genuine life of faith. His message is bare-knuckled as he encourages, challenges, and confronts, offering practical words and admonitions to live out our faith.

The Life Lessons series is ideal for use in both a small-group setting or for individual study.
