By 2030, almost one-third of North Americans will be over age 65. How will this affect the church? Author Elsie Rempel believes that the swelling ranks of new seniors represent a huge spiritual resource. In Please Pass the Faith she draws from real life and from Christian formation experts in helping seniors and other adults foster relationships with children and youth. She also offers practical ideas for integrating children and youth into church life-all the while nurturing one's own spiritual life as an elder. "Each page sings Rempel's commitment to faith transmission through activities, presence, and storytelling." —Marlene Harder Bogard, minister of Christian formation, Western District Conference of Mennonite Church USA

Children Do Not Live by Macaroni and Cheese Alone. As a parent, you have roughly eighteen years to imprint life's basic lessons onto the heart of your child: from the need to put the milk back in the refrigerator to the value of turning in school assignments on time. Above all, you want your child to have a dynamic, living faith-a rock-solid belief system. How does a parent ascend to such lofty heights while tethered to piles of laundry, unpaid bills, and a yapping dog? It's easier than you may think. Just as Christ did with the disciples, parents impart crucial lessons in the midst of ordinary, everyday life. So, pull up a chair and discover how you can turn seemingly unremarkable, daily moments into opportunities to instill in your child a truly remarkable faith. The Natural Way to Feed Your Child's Spiritual Hunger. Pass the Potatoes. Pass the Meatloaf. Pass the Faith. Since your child was a tiny baby, you have been lovingly providing food for his or her body, stimulation for the mind, love for the heart, and truth for the spirit. Yet it is as you go about the familiar rituals of life-in the very holiness of the mundane-that you may best teach your child about God and His ways. Using the memorable metaphor of the family dinner table-where napkins illustrate the power of forgiveness and placemats protect our tables as Scripture protects our children's souls-author Lori Borgman illustrates how to make the most of the natural teaching times in daily life and find creative, enjoyable ways to interweave spiritual nurture with the struggles and joys of everyday living.

A New York Times bestseller people can believe in—by "a pioneer of the new urban Christians" (Christianity Today) and the "C.S. Lewis for the 21st century" (Newsweek). Timothy Keller, the founding pastor of Redeemer Presbyterian Church in New York City, addresses the frequent doubts that skeptics, and even ardent believers, have about religion. Using literature, philosophy, real-life conversations, and potent reasoning, Keller explains how the belief in a Christian God is, in fact, a sound and rational one. To true believers he offers a solid platform on which to stand their ground against the backlash to religion created by the Age of Skepticism. And to skeptics, atheists, and agnostics, he provides a challenging argument for pursuing the reason for God.

This book is an extension to my first book "Below the Line" published 2007. This book "Unyoked" will give spiritual information to those who really want to know how to withstand and unequally yoked marriage, how to make their marriage work. I believe the Heavenly Father gave me spiritual information and a message for anyone who has married an unequally yoked mate. Sometimes we may find ourselves unyoked in marriages. We find ourselves asking God to forgive us for making bad choices. While it may be true, being married to an unequally yoked spouse may force one to divorce court because of emotional or physical abuse. The Bible gives us a guideline as to how to prevent divorce. This book will offer you spiritual information with scriptures to mediate on daily. In addition, you will read how to stay married to an unequally yoked mate with God's help. Focus studying your Bible and learn how to follow God's principles. This requires work. My message in this book is that we must watch God's plan completed through man and woman of one flesh. God uses us through our trials and tribulations. These trials and tribulations are only temporary. Learn how to develop unconditional love for each other in spite of unequally yoked marriages. I have experienced being married to an unequally yoked mate and it is not easy. I have spent many hours searching the Holy Scriptures for guidance. I have spoken with other couples who are or have experience this most dangerous journey in their marriages. My day-by-day experiences were very rewarding because I know now that God still loves me even after I disobeyed Him and married someone who is unyoked. I pray that my message from this book encourage others. Remember there is a blessing in all that God has permitted in our lives. He is all-knowing God. He knew what was going to transpire in our lives even before we were born. Try to be yoke and not unyoked. God Bless
