It’s a magic
emergency! Sparkleton’s friend, Gabe, gets his unicorn magic just in time to
star in Shimmer Lake’s big parade! But Gabe’s new power is more embarrassing
than a garden of moldy mushrooms. Luckily, Sparkleton has a glitterrific idea
to help his friend before Gabe must perform the worst magic ever in front of
everyone he is ever known!
It’s clear from Scripture that God passionately desires supernatural unity within His Church. Unity is what Jesus prays for, what He commands, and what He says will be our greatest witness to the world.
If
unity is so important to the heart of God, why is the Church one of the most
divided groups on earth? While many believe doctrine is at the root of the
problem, Francis argues that the real problem is the shallowness or
non-existence of our love for each other. Those who are believers will
hear the call and be “eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of
peace” (v. 3). There will be opposition, but we cannot allow anything to
discourage us from giving everything we have to the pursuit of unity.
How well do you know Jesus? I think about this often, and I always come to the same realization. I don’t know Jesus anywhere near as well as I would like to know him. The desire is there, but life gets in the way. There are times when I seem to be making great progress, and other times when I wonder if I know him at all. This was very good. Highly recommend.
When Lucinda Chapdelaine was a small child, her parents left for the royal ball and never returned. Ever since, Lucinda has been stuck in perpetual servitude at her evil aunt's jewelry store. Then, on the very same day, a mysterious visitor and an even more bizarre piece of jewelry both enter the shop, setting in motion a string of twists and turns that will forever alter Lucinda's path.
In this magical story filled with enchanting surprises, Lucinda will dance at the royal ball, fall under the Amaranth Witch's spell, avenge her parents' death, restore justice to a town that does not yet know the corrupt danger around them, and maybe - just maybe - Lucinda might capture the heart of a prince.
I really enjoyed this book. It was similar to Cinderella but even better than that.
Learn how surrender unlocks His many blessings intended for us, centers us in His will, and helps us discern His voice in everyday life.
Why do cats purr? Why do cats play with their food? Why do cats like getting on top of the fridge? Why is my cat so picky? This was a simple and great read on cats.
This was an excellent book. It talked about what we are good at skill set and vocation and what we are good for fulfillment of our purpose potential.
Emery Mason hates the holidays. She’s so over tinsel, secret Santas, and excessive cheer. To make matters worse, her parents are forcing her to work as an elf in their Santa photo booth at the mall. Then she meets Alejandro Perez, who works at the hot cocoa shop next door. He’s so annoyingly full of the holiday spirit he should be the one wearing an elf get-up! But the more time Emery spends with Alex, the more she realizes she might not be the Grinch she thinks she is. When a Secret Santa surprise turns her world upside down, will Emery finally embrace the magic of the season? Or will she miss her chance to kiss the perfect boy under the mistletoe? This was really cute and I really enjoyed it.
It's a time when we prepare our lives hearts, minds, and spirits for the coming of the Christ child. We sweep out the corners of our hearts, cleaning up the clutter, to make space for God's hope, peace, joy, love, and presence. The Uncluttered Heart offers four weeks of guided reflection through the weeks of Advent on Epiphany. Each day provides a quotation, scripture passage, reflection, and prayer. I really enjoyed this book.
After completing a week of short readings to prepare your heart for the Advent season, you'll journey through December with daily Scripture readings, prompts for reflection, and guided prayer to help you savor this remarkable divine story. With each day, The Wonder of Advent Devotional will reconnect you with what happened in Bethlehem long ago--and experience it anew in your life right now.
Don't Get Over It. Get Through It. This book will give you the tools to walk through the process of grief in a healthy way. Helps readers distinguish between normal and unhealthy grieving, and provides practical steps to maintain physical health, emotional health, and relationships while grieving, It also offers guidance for working through the crisis of faith grief and specific steps the grieving can take toward healing. The apostle Paul said Christians do not grieve in the same way as those who do not have hope (1 Thess. 4:13). But that doesn’t mean we don’t or shouldn’t grieve. In this book, she addresses: What to expect while grieving, what is normal and abnormal grief, how to deal with the physical, emotional, and mental aspects of grief, how grief affects one’s relationship with God, which steps the grieving person can take toward healing, and how the hope of eternity helps in the journey of grief.
I read this series as a kid and I thoroughly enjoyed it. This is an extra book to the series with a collection of previously unpublished papers. I recommend it to all who enjoyed this series.
This collection reflects the author's realization of what we hold on to, for whatever reasons, is not worth its weight; that the sooner we lighten the load, the freer and more content we become.
This book was very helpful for moving. I really enjoyed all the information. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to have a less stressful experience moving.
