She walked toward me with slight limp and her back was stooped from age. Her thick, wiry hair was unkempt and stuck out everywhere in unwashed clumps. It was parted in the middle, and two streaks of silver-white hair led me to believe she was in her mid-sixties. She had many layers of dirty, drab clothes on, and a blanket on top of them. Her dark, fingerless gloves were tattered and torn, with strands of weathered yarn hanging from them. Everything about her said she was homeless and alone. "Do you have any spare change?" came her shaky voice as she looked at me with pleading eyes. My heart broke knowing I had nothing to give her. Lord, what have I to give this child of yours? Softly, the childhood hymn, "Silver and Gold Have I None," drifted across my mind: but such as I have give I thee... "Oh, honey," I said tenderly, putting my hand on her arm, "the only thing I have to offer you is the Kingdom of Heaven." "Oh," she gasped, her eyes welling with tears, "Oh, how could I ask for more than that?" From readers: Beautifully written and inspiring words always-thank you!! - Michelle K.

This short book by scientist Gary A. Burlingame is a practical guide for anyone who has been asked to offer a public prayer. Multiple examples and practice format establish the uniqueness of this helpful book on prayer for Christians. Using the "Lord's Prayer" as a guide, the author shows how simple yet personal praying in public can be. "Who me, pray? I'm not good at public speaking or praying aloud." Does this remind you of something you thought at a Bible study or friendly gathering, when you were asked to lead the group in prayer? You don't have to feel this way again. Who me, pray? is a practical guide on prayer, based on Jesus' direction, with examples provided for use in typical situations where you might be asked or expected to pray, including: Prayer Before a Meal; Prayer Before an Athletic Contest; Prayer while Helping a Friend; and, Prayer in a Bible Study Setting. While the Bible is the best place to learn about prayer, this guide is an encouragement for you to practice praying aloud, using the examples given, but in your own words. Remember, God desires for you to experience the blessings of praying with others. Therefore, you will not be alone as you study Who me, pray? and practice your own prayers; after all, we have the Holy Spirit as our helper in relation to prayer.

What people are saying about: I Am "I Am" is a wonderfully personal, thought provoking study for believers desiring to grow in intimacy with Jesus. The Bible passages and questions help you to examine your heart and relationship with Jesus. Do you really know who I Am is? Do you want to know him better? As you go day by day through the lessons you will be changed as the Spirit of God helps you to see the condition of your own heart and your love for Jesus. --Shelly Juskiewicz, Pastor to Women, Rooted and Life Groups, Mariners Church About the book: I Am (Transformed in Him). Have you wanted a closer walk with the Lord? Do you sometimes find yourself dragging through your days wondering where He is, who He is, and why He isn't helping you more? In your heart of hearts, have you been hoping, perhaps even imagining, that God would reveal Himself to you more and more, that He would help you to build a trust that would ease your burdens and, blessing of blessing, refashion your life into a grace- and peace-filled walk with Him? Who does God say He is, and how can He answer these questions? In this Bible study you will discover the deep and abiding riches of God, whose name is I AM WHO I AM, as He told Moses in the Book of Exodus. You will discover the many meanings and implications of each I AM saying from both an Old and New Testament perspective. Throughout this six week study (Volume One of a Two Volume set) you will begin to unearth the treasure trove of riches that are found within God's name, I AM WHO I AM. From the authors: First and foremost, we want you to enjoy the Lord in all His aspects with all the incomparable and amazing meanings for life that come from the I AM sayings. Whether you are doing the laundry, or flying to Hawaii, or undertaking mission work to the underprivileged, or just fighting through bad times, we want you to know, "You have a friend, eternal, constant, moment by moment, who lives within you, the Almighty, I AM WHO I AM." We ask blessings and enlightenment, joy and depth-deep calling to deep-for all the students of this work.

The image on the book cover to the right is one of the top news images of our time. Immediately upon seeing it, we asked ourselves, "How could that happen? It would take a miracle!" In the providence of God, one of the passengers on board was a Christian fourth-year medical student who got on the flight home to Charlotte, SC, standby, because his residency interviews in New York City, January 15, 2009 were concluded sooner than expected. From the book: "As I took my seat, I pulled out two books I had been reading on the interview trail. One, The Sovereignty of God, by Arthur W. Pink, was a heavy theological book that had been convincing me of just how sovereign God is. The other was a little lighter read, Prince Caspian, by CS Lewis. This is a children's book with great biblical allegories.... "During this time on the taxiway, the flight attendants went through their typical speech of what to do if, "In the unlikely event of a water landing, your seat cushion may be used as a flotation device." I only half-way registered what she said, but I guarantee you, those words will never fly past my brain again, unattended." From the Foreword, by Dr. David Stevens, CEO of the Christian Medical & Dental Associations: "When you're hurtling toward death, the character already developed in you takes over like an auto-pilot, and finds expression in one way or another. In Andrew's case, while others might have screamed in terror, his response was to ask the nearby passengers if he could PRAY with them. Now that's the kind of doctor I want to attend me when things are taking a turn for the worse, or as the saying goes, when it seems like the wings are about to fall off."

This unique book of Christian poetry is actually two in one. The first collection of poems, "A Day in the Life," explores a working parent's daily journey of faith. The reader is carried from morning to bedtime, from "In the Details," to "I Forgot to Pray," back to "Home Base," and finally to "Eternal Love Divine." The second collection of poems, "Come Running," is wonder, joy, and faith wrapped up in words that encourage and inspire the mind and the heart. Praise for "My Faith, My Poetry": I carry your book in my work bag and I have a great time picking out "my favorites." By the time I read it again I'll have more "favorites." They are all very good and on target. Aside from the actual poetry writing (inspired), your layout and cover are so pleasing to the eye. A beautiful presentation!! - Christian author, Philadelphia I love your book of poetry. It's real. I appreciated so much the poems which resonated with my own experience. And I could see that even your most romantic poems offer a spiritual dimension pointing towards Agape love. - Retired pastor and author, New Jersey

An honest, humorous book for both new and experienced teachers offering wise advice based on hard experience, the occasional big mistake, and an even bigger heart. "It's complicated, this teacher thing," says the author. "But in the end, it's about honesty, openness, failures, and successes, and the myriad of emotions that accompany them all. Ultimately it's about putting the kids first, which I've tried to do. It's been a long journey but if I had to do it over again, I'd do it over again."Endorsements: "Biebel's sardonic wit is mellowed by a genuine love for kids and teaching . . . A Whitman-like sensibility flows through his stories of teaching, learning, and life." Susan J. Wegmann, PhDTom Schram, PhD, comments, "Honest and heartfelt, practical and wise, [Finding Martians in the Dark] embeds lessons of teaching and learning in a rich set of personal accounts. From hiding in hedges to tracking mud on clean floors to banging an oat bucket, Biebel creatively weaves everyday experiences into broader understandings of how one comes to terms with becoming a teacher. The narrative draws readers into the mind and heart of a veteran educator who has discovered the profound value and abundant humor to be found in the missteps and successes of classroom life."

This book is not a biblical commentary or theological treatise of any sort. It's just a story. And it's far more than just another good story. Dream House was birthed after its author endured a severe trial that devastated his company and tested his trust in God's loving hand on his life. Looking bankruptcy in the face, he was reminded of the biblical promise that, "...He who has begun a good work in you will be faithful to complete it." The author pulled to the roadside and recorded his thoughts. Then, after returning to his office, he wrote it down, so he would never forget it, and now you are unlikely to forget it, yourself. Endorsement: "One of the greatest challenges of the Christian life is to give ourselves entirely to God and trust Him to build our lives and our characters exactly as He wants us to be, even if the process does not take the path that we would prefer. Through this short allegory, my good friend, Justa, has beautifully illustrated the challenges and victories of the 'construction project' each of us must undergo. As he shows, we cannot stop it. The work will go on one way or another. The only question is, will we join the crew and actually accelerate the project, or will we drag it out through ignorance, unbelief, or by trying to go on strike? I've done both at times, but I'm steadily learning how much better it is to give myself over completely to The Builder. I hope this book will inspire you to do the same." - Ken Sande, Founder and President, Relational Wisdom 360

About the book: Author Lisa Barthuly asks, "Would you like to rid your home of commercial, toxic products but don't want to pay the price for the 'all natural', 'organic' products that line the shelf? Learn to make your own! Create everything from your own laundry soap, to homemade dryer sheets, antibacterial spray cleaners, potpourri blends, fabric softeners, calendula salve, homemade 'Vaseline, ' handcrafted Eucalyptus Chest Rub...even tips for the outside of the homestead and much more! A must have book for those looking not only to simplify, but to cut that grocery bill down, create a healthier environment for our families, and revive the art of making our own! From the book: If we knew how to make our own cleaning products to replace the toxic, commercial ones...would we? Would we put forth the effort required? The desire to make my own products stemmed from the frugal, self reliant side of me. I wanted simple; homemade; natural. Remember the definition of simple is NOT 'easier.' Living "simply" in our times, means making a deliberate choice to differ from the mainstream of today's societal norm. My desire changed over to sheer determination, when one of my children was diagnosed with a myriad of allergies, chemical sensitivities, and asthma. After much study and research, we were determined that we could not have those products in our home, they are useless (when God has provided all we need to your own) and harmful to everyone in our home. Join me, as I show you how to easily make your own natural, homemade, handcrafted products that are not only less expensive but truly better for our families, our home and God's Creation.

Danish philosopher Soren Kierkegaard wrote, "A poet is an unhappy being whose heart is torn by secret sufferings, but whose lips are so strangely formed that when the sighs and the cries escape them, they sound like beautiful music...." Gary A. Burlingame is one such being, with this difference-once unhappy, due to the loss of a son, his broken heart now sings, because he kept walking by faith. His readers are the beneficiaries of the work of the One who binds up the brokenhearted, "...bestowing on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the LORD for the display of his splendor" (Isaiah 61:1-3). Gary describes this metamorphosis, "In the days of my youth the songs of my heart were self-focused. My poetry had no clear voice or purpose (outside of wooing my wife). Over time the Lord brought me through some heart-changing experiences. He allowed my heart to break so that He could mold my heart into something new. Out of this regenerated state, my poetry grew-expressing what other people could not express -crying out for them. My prayer is that my poetry would give broken hearts an outlet of release. My Broken Heart Sings is a compilation of poems that speak of pain and joy, love and loss, suffering and new birth." - Dr. David B. Biebel Endorsement: "Gary Burlingame's poetry has been on display in my waiting room for many years. His poems have touched the lives of many patients and their families. His poems stir the emotions while being practical, insightful, spiritual, and deeply truthful. I am glad to have his poetry in book form to refer to my patients and friends for support when they find themselves in pain and fall into deep struggles in their own lives." - Dr. David Trumbore - Director of physical therapy at Delaware Valley Orthopedic Associates, Philadelphia and president of Effective Fitness Solutions, LLC Bensalem, PA
