Cancer's Seeming Madness is about David, a forty-three-year-old agnostic son who during his cancerous terminal illness as he was searching for truth, described his bewilderment as "seeming madness". This book will help persons confronted with the mystery of suffering and death, especially when the issues are personified as they impinge on their own lives, or on the lives of ones loved. The book is unique in its focus on moments of humor and deep interpersonal relationships. David's own words and actions mollify somewhat the vivid portrayal of his search for truth and meaning. Is there a God who speaks to us through the natural world and circumstances rarely identified with spiritual truth? Does the old word providence often associated with Biblical belief have any meaningful place in a world where science and technology seem to reign supreme? Can we see the face of God in art and feel a divine presence in human relationships? You'll likely be surprised by the answers that David and those close to him found as they caught a glimpse of the Spirit at work through their tears and laughter. Perhaps as you read Cancer's Seeming Madness, the mystery of life will begin to open like a flower in spring, and you will see the colors of peace, purpose and hop as signs of God's presence nurtured by insights in this intriguing book that the author dares call, God's Story.

Meet Galya, one of the nicest sheep you could hope to know. Far too nice to be hanging out with a crusty, bitter bird like Edgar the raven. Yet, who but someone as kind and wise as Galya could see past Edgar's nastiness to his deepest need and care about him enough to tell him the Sheep Tales? In Sheep Tales, the animals have their say. Here is the Bible story as you and your children have never experienced it, seen through the eyes of Galya, Edgar, Arvid the platypus, Dandy the lion, Glubber the whale, and other furry, feathery, and creepy-crawly creatures made and loved by God. This devotional storybook will touch and delight your children--and you. With tenderness, humor, and creativity, author Ken Davis takes your imagination to the very heart of the gospel: God's love, displayed from the Creation to the Resurrection. It's big enough to weave the animals children love into God's awesome plan of redemption. And it's wonderful enough and strong enough to heal anything--even a broken and angry heart like Edgar's.

Among Christian devotional works, My Utmost for His Highest stands head and shoulders above the rest, with more than 13 million copies sold. But most readers have no idea that Oswald Chambers's most famous work was not published until ten years after his death. The remarkable person behind its compilation and publication was his wife, Biddy. And her story of living her utmost for God's highest is one without parallel. Bestselling novelist Michelle Ule brings Biddy's story to life as she traces her upbringing in Victorian England to her experiences in a WWI YMCA camp in Egypt. Readers will marvel at this young woman's strength as she returns to post-war Britain a destitute widow with a toddler in tow. Refusing personal payment, Biddy proceeds to publish not just My Utmost for His Highest, but also 29 other books with her husband's name on the covers. All the while she raises a child alone, provides hospitality to a never-ending stream of visitors and missionaries, and nearly loses everything in the London Blitz during WWII. The inspiring story of a devoted woman ahead of her times will quickly become a favorite of those who love true stories of overcoming incredible odds, making a life out of nothing, and serving God's kingdom.
