Burning Hearts

Sometimes you need to let the demons run free. Sometimes the devils are helpless. Sometimes the most evil thing on earth is us. Forget what you thought you knew about evil.

Are love and faith enough? After meeting at a young age, Shane and Amanda fall deeply in love. Their lives seem perfect as they progress through high school, and Shane is grateful to God for the enormous blessings he's been given. But high school doesn't last forever, and Shane realizes the rest of his life will never be the same. He has to make difficult decisions, ones that pull him away from the friends he loves dearly, his precious parents, and Amanda. But he and Amanda are certain that they're supposed to use the athletic talents they've always possessed for God's glory, so they decide to wait on forever until they have achieved their goals. Shane is sure everything will work out. It's God's plan, isn't it? Will the flame of love that blazes within these Burning Hearts be extinguished in pursuing the abilities that God has blessed them with, or will their sense of duty to God be subordinate to their love?

From mourning to discernment, from invitation to intimacy, and from community to the charge to go forth and witness, this work seeks a fuller understanding of the Eucharist through the story of the disciples on their way to Emmaus and calls us to experience the entire journey, to know that what we celebrate and what we are called to live are one and the same.

Throughout the course of our lives, we sign contracts for just about everything-car leases, home loans, credit cards. There is something powerful about signing our name to a commitment. It reflects our word, our honor, our willing obligation. In The Burning Heart Contract, Becky Tirabassi challenges us to commit to God more concretely by actu... more »ally constructing and signing a contract with Him for a "21-day challenge" that the author is convinced will set our hearts on fire and ignite a passion within us to live, love, work, explore and create on levels beyond our comprehension. Such an agreement can then be used as a living document that will continually guide us back to the most important commitment we ever made.

Can the next generation become passionate followers of God, ready and equipped to fulfill their destinies? Christian parents and mentors are entrusted with the call to nurture and train these hearts, releasing them to excel in loving and seeking God. In Raising Burning Ones, Patricia Bootsma draws on the expertise she gained raising six children and mentoring many others, and shares the profound and hopeful news that this calling is not beyond our reach, or theirs. Combining practicality and spiritual understanding, this book covers important strategies that are often overlooked, like the power of blessing, of prophetically decreeing truth, and of teaching young ones how to hear God's voice, seek Him in the Word, and pray always.

In the self-contained Habitat on Dramos, things are getting out of control. The Church of Adjudication holds absolute power over the people, with the consequences that come from absolute power...corruption. The Doctor is imprisoned and chaos looms.
