DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Joyce Herr started a new chapter in her life in March of 2017 when she was diagnosed with cancer. At times, this experience led her through some deep valleys with dark and threatening shadows. She found herself in need of courage and a source of strength beyond her own to be able to press on. In Praising God in the Valley, Herr shares her story telling about the challenges she faced, the hope and peace God gave her, the many lessons God taught her through cancer that ultimately enriched her life, and other unexpected blessings of the journey. Praising God in the Valley helps you realize how God can use cancer and other adversity to bless you and prepare you to be an ambassador for Him, to bear witness of His love and sustaining strength in your trials in a world that asks: “What difference does it make to be a Christian?” “If God is so good, why do bad things happen to good people?”; and “How can I know for sure I’m going to heaven when I die?” Herr insists that when you discover the courage, strength, peace, and hope God provides, you, too, will be able to praise God in the valley.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →God doesn't bless us to raise our standard of living. God blesses us to raise our standard of giving, and that's where true joy is found. The New York Times bestselling author of Chase the Lion challenges us not to settle for half of what God offers when it comes to blessings—we are BLESSED to BLESS. His discovery started with a simple experiment. Whenever Batterson received a blessing, he would give a similar blessing away. If someone paid him a compliment or gave him a gift or went out of their way to help him, he would return the favor by doing something similar for someone else. We flip the blessing by blessing others in the way God has blessed us. That’s how the blessing becomes a double blessing. It turns giving into a game—one we can’t win because God will always outgive us! It’s an ancient truth found within the Abrahamic covenant: “I will bless you . . . and you will be a blessing.” In other words, we are blessed to bless. The first blessing is receiving, but it doesn’t end there. The second blessing is giving it away! That’s the double blessing. And that’s where double joy is found. In a day and age where the idea of blessing has been reduced to a hashtag (#blessed), Batterson challenges readers to pursue true, God-glorifying blessing and experience an exponential impact by participating in the double blessing. Don’t settle for half of what God offers. Discover how you can both get it and give it . . . in Double Blessing.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →The Bible teaches us', Russ Parker writes, 'that blessing is a unique ministry resource gifted to believers to effect the purposes of God in peoples' lives.' In this enthralling book, the author tells of situations of family estrangement, depression and chronic illness; of times of hopelessness and helplessness where miraculous transformation has been wrought through calling on God to bless someone with the richest blessing they are able to receive. As he has travelled the country teaching on the ministry of blessing, Russ has seen an enthusiastic response and uptake, especially amongst those involved in prayer ministry. He believes it is time for all who want to be part of God's renewal - both in church and through reaching out to the wider community - to consider how we might help others to flourish as the people God has called them to be. 'Russ Parker's ground breaking work on healing community history will be so helpful to churches. It has greatly helped me.' The Rt Revd Graeme Dow, former Bishop of Carlisle
