Martyrs And Chickens
$21.95
gr?-no-l? adj: Term Gen Xers and Elder Millenials use to connote an eco-conscious, peace-lovin’, homemade, slightly unwashed vibe. me-n?-nit noun: Oh, dear, where to start? Not with bonnets and buggies, certainly, or the denominational conferences and non-conference conferences. Not with Yoders in my family tree. Once upon a time in the sixteenth century . . .
Raised to believe in peace, woodstoves, and homemade bread, Kirsten Eve Beachy embarks on married life with a Mennonite boy from a dairy farm in this memoir of collected essays. As they dabble in homesteading, care for aging relatives, discover more about their family and denominational history, and overcome infertility, she learns to trust her voice as writer and mother of twins, one with Down syndrome.
With authenticity and wit, Beachy wonders what a martyr heritage means for herself and her children, celebrates the complexities of simple living, and seeks balance as artist and caregiver. Along the way, there are apocryphal Mennonite cookbook recipes, corn day, a farm auction, butchering up close and personal, a doctrine of backyard chickens, surprising genealogical discoveries, an alphabet of infertility, tragedy in the beehive, midnight chantings of a breast pump, dancing through a pandemic, and fresh takes on Amish and Mennonite histories of the Hochstetler massacre, the White Stutzman, and the Civil War.

Case For Christ (Revised)
$19.99Is there credible evidence that Jesus of Nazareth really is the Son of God?
Retracing his own spiritual journey from atheism to faith, Lee Strobel, former legal editor of the Chicago Tribune, cross-examines a dozen experts with doctorates from schools like Cambridge, Princeton, and Brandeis who are recognized authorities in their own fields.
Strobel challenges them with questions like, How reliable is the New Testament? Does evidence for Jesus exist outside the Bible? Is there any reason to believe the resurrection was an actual event?
Winner of the Gold Medallion Book Award and twice nominated for the Christian Book of the Year Award, Strobel’s tough, point-blank questions read like a captivating, fast-paced novel. But it’s not fiction. It’s a riveting quest for the truth about history’s most compelling figure.
The new edition includes scores of revisions and additions, including updated material on archaeological and manuscript discoveries, fresh recommendations for further study, and an interview with the author that tells dramatic stories about the book’s impact, provides behind-the-scenes information, and responds to critiques of the book by skeptics. As The Case for Christ and its ancillary resources approach 10 million copies in print, this updated edition will prove even more valuable to contemporary readers.
