I Like Giving
$14.99
The problem many face is that while they want to be generous to others, so much about charitable giving is distant, removed from real people-it becomes a rote process of donating money or transferring funds. I Like Giving will show readers how they can give in personal ways, face to face, and become part of the story of life change.
Brad Formsma, founder of the unique website, ILikeGiving.com, invites visitors to the site to share their stories of giving to others in their local world and how it has changed not only the receivers’ lives but also the givers’ lives. In his book, Formsma further develops the concept of his website, drawing people to a lifestyle of giving by discussing the power of giving person to person, face to face, providing ideas for giving in the reader’s own circles, creating a giving culture in families, and showing how to capture those stories of giving. Both prescriptive and story-based, I Like Giving offers unique connections to the website and the I Like Giving concept.

When Holidays Hurt
$14.99Find fullness of joy during the holidays-especially for the brokenhearted.
Divorce. Financial stress. Chronic illness. Losing a loved one. Experiencing any of these situations during the year is already difficult. But the holiday season, once joyful and happy, can heighten this pain even more. Author Bo Stern has spent the past two Christmases struggling to connect with the joy of the season. As she has watched her husband, Steve, struggle with terminal ALS, Bo has quietly felt her spirit for the season fade-and has noticed countless others suffering the same way.
Through stories and scriptures, Bo offers readers a way to redeem what can often become painful days-Thanksgiving, Christmas, birthdays and anniversaries, milestones such as weddings and graduations, and more. At the end of each devotion, Bo gently guides readers to engage with these holidays and special occasions in different ways that offer a tangible outlet for healing. At the heart of this message is that Christ came-to bring hope and healing to those who are hurting.
“Jesus didn’t come to cheer us up. He came into the shadowlands we call home to set us free. He came to untangle us from the despair that wraps itself around our joy and peace and purpose. It seems, then, that hopelessness is the very first qualification for receiving the bright hope of Christ’s coming. Perhaps you are exactly where you need to be to experience the miracle after all…”
