All over the world, woman and girls face starvation, displacement, illiteracy, sexual exploitation and abuse. In fact, statistics show that the world’s most oppressed are overwhelmingly female. Moved by their plight, Kay Marshall Strom and Michele Rickett took a trip across continents to partner with ministries working to help women and interview girls in some of the most difficult places in the world. These pages hold those girls’ stories: stories of deep pain and suffering, inspiring courage, and incredible hope. They are stories of those who discovered their value in God’s eyes, in the midst of cultures that have rejected them. They are stories of rescue and redemption by God working through compassionate people - people like you. The authors of Forgotten Girls invite you to pray and speak on behalf of the millions of women and girls who still need to know how much they’re worth. The authors provide specific, practical steps and prayer points that allow you to get involved as God leads.

Jason Romano learned incredible lessons during his seventeen years as a producer at ESPN - and these fundamentals for success on the field or court work just as well in other spheres of leadership, especially when you add God's direction to the playbook. This collection of compelling, inspiring, and often funny stories in The Uniform of Leadership challenges readers to ask themselves the hard questions. It draws them into introspection and then directs them into action so they can cultivate habits of service and excellence in themselves and in those around them. From Tony Dungy to Darryl Strawberry, Will Ferrell to Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, readers will discover how to replicate the principles practiced by some of the most influential leaders in sports and entertainment. And in the end, they'll be able to construct thriving cultures where the people they lead can bloom where they're planted and serve one another. For readers who want to lead meaningful lives - rooted in servant leadership, character, and integrity - and be entertained and inspired by personal, behind the scenes stories about athletes, coaches, and stars, this is a perfect guidebook.

In a world of social media snapshots and cable news sound bites, we’re often more concerned with our outer image than we are with our inner makeup. But in the end integrity trumps image. You can look good on the outside without being good on the inside. If you long to commit yourself to what matters most - the content of your character - join bestselling author James Merritt in Character Still Counts as he explores 13 overlooked traits that form the bedrock of a godly life and good society. Along the way, you’ll encounter surprising role models - flawed people who failed spectacularly, overcame adversity and went on to live lives worth imitating. In a world that has abandoned the virtues and values that matter, this book offers a clarion call to return to a simple message: Character still counts. It always has, it always will.

Everyone who wants to date or get married is looking for someone who’s “hot”. In the language of the world “hot” refers to someone who is attractive, but according to Jeramy Clark (author of the bestseller I Gave Dating a Chance) and his wife and co-author Jerusha Clark, a new definition of the word can provide you with an easy to use standard for applying God’s wisdom in one of the most challenging areas of your life. Find out in He’s Hot, She’s Hot why you should look for someone who is truly H.O.T. (holy, outrageous, trustworthy) and see how you can develop the qualities that will both please the Lord and attract the man or woman of your dreams.

I say I'm fine, yeah I'm fine oh I'm fine, hey I'm fine
But I'm not, I'm broken
And when it's out of control I say it's under control
But it's not and you know it
I don't know why it's so hard to admit it
When being honest is the only way to fix it
There's no failure, no fall
There's no sin you don't already know
So let the truth be told

“You turn graves into gardens
You turn bones into armies
You turn seas into highways
You're the only One who can”

Hallelujah, when the battle is endless
In the middle of the in between
In the middle of the questioning
Over every worry, every fear
Hallelujah, even here”

Orphaned by the Civil War, the daughter of a plantation owner and a former slave have worked hard to keep Katie’s plantation going, all the while hiding the fact that they are alone. Now the girls face new threats to their way of life: mounting floodwaters and mounting danger from thieves. When a long-lost relative appears, he disappears as suddenly, taking their closely guarded secret with him. But this man has a secret of his own - one that will change them all forever. In a black and white world, it’s the inside that counts in The Color of Your Skin Ain’t The Color of Your Heart by Michael Phillips.

After a personal tragedy, Piper Boone retreats to her childhood home - a secluded mansion for the wealthy Boone family, who are practically American royalty. When catastrophe strikes, her family is put in the spotlight, and the line between victim and suspect gets blurred. Tucker Landry is drawn to Piper in the midst of the trauma, but the connections being made to her family might prove to be their undoing. With a hurricane beating down on the private island, there isn’t much time to find answers. In Relative Silence by Carrie Stuart Parks, the truth will determine whether she lives or dies.

In the little town of Walton, Georgia in Natalie Walters’ novel Living Lies, everybody knows your name - but no one knows your secret. At least that’s what Lane Kent is counting on when she returns to her hometown with her five year old son. Dangerously depressed after the death of her husband, Lane is looking for hope. What she finds instead is a dead body. Lane must work with Walton’s newest deputy, Charlie Lynch, to uncover the truth behind the murder. But when that truth hits too close to home, she’ll have to decide if saving the life of another is worth the cost of revealing her darkest secret.

Independent and tenacious journalist Vivian DeMarco is back in Walton, Georgia, for one reason - to do her job and get out. But in Deadly Deceit by Natalie Walters, when her boss suddenly dies under suspicious circumstances, Vivian’s only hope for finding the truth - and the next big story - is small town law enforcement’s lanky poster boy Deputy Ryan Frost. But the deeper they dig, the more twisted the truth becomes. False leads, incriminating emails, and someone called the Watcher force Vivian to fight for answers - and her life.
