It's time to ask, "Are Christians really entitled to all the blessings and promises of God? Or do ungodly lives disqualify the believer from them?" This compelling journey through scriptures is for a desperately hurting world that needs to know the truth. It challenges the reader to dig deeper into the Word of God and to endure with a belief so strong that the righteousness of God flows in undeniable power and love. Undeserving yet Entitled is an eye-opening look into scriptures that will inspire believers to examine their own hearts, motives, actions, and faith. Lisa Jones invites readers to lean on the power of God, to fill them with love for him, and in an outpouring of love to others, that must endure to the end. Transformation through grace, evidenced by good works and love for others, is the proof of the Spirit of God working through believers. This book takes readers into the core of the Bible to discover their purpose, understand judgment, receive forgiveness, and walk in grace through power from the Holy Creator. As the scriptures unfold throughout this book, saints will confirm that they answer to a higher calling and worship the one true God. Culminating in a short study of end times and the necessity for endurance, believers will be emboldened to live for Christ with integrity, being eternity-minded, and prepared to live through persecution and tribulation as forewarned of by the prophets, gospels, apostles, epistles, and Jesus himself. As this virtuous quest draws to a close, believers will have answers to those nagging questions that have eluded them and fill their voids with the one true Savior. They will come away from this book with a greater understanding of salvation and the narrow way of Christianity.

Public policy in the United States is marked by a contradiction between the American ideal of equality and the reality of an underclass of marginalized and disadvantaged people who are widely viewed as undeserving and incapable. Deserving and Entitled provides a close inspection of many different policy arenas, showing how the use of power and the manipulation of images have made it appear both natural and appropriate that some target populations benefit from policy, while others do not. These social constructions of deservedness and entitlement, unless challenged, become amplified over time and institutionalized into permanent lines of social, economic, and political cleavage. The contributors here express concern that too often public policy sends messages harmful to democracy and contributes significantly to the pattern of uneven political participation in the United States.

When Americans denounce "welfare", most are thinking of the program of aid for single mothers and their children--the only program of the Social Security Act to become stigmatized. Gordon uncovers the tangled roots of competing visions of welfare and shows that welfare reform can only work if it recognizes that single motherhood is an enduring aspect of contemporary life.

One of the greatest joys of being a child of God is that He asks us to grow in Him! When we nurture a deeper relationship with our Father, we cultivate the spiritual fruit described in Galatians 5:22-23: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. These attributes are what make stronger women, stronger Christians and stronger testaments to the grace and glory of God. The Focus on the Family Women's Series is exactly what women's ministries are looking for a complete program designed to meet the needs of women of all ages.
