Do your thoughts or emotions bog you down? Feelings such as discouragement, sadness, anxiety, loneliness, and insecurity can naturally take a toll. It's part of being human. But what if I told you that God has a designated sanctuary for the mind, a sacred getaway that refreshes like nothing else, even amid wearying emotions? Blue Skies invites us to explore this divine expanse found in Philippians 4:8-"Think about these things . . . ." Each phrase in this transcendent verse bursts with spiritual renewal and gospel-centered inspiration. Soaring chapter by chapter into the heavenly realm of rescuing perspective, we will discover God-soaked wisdom for our minds and emotions. Perhaps you will never quite look at Philippians 4:8 the same again.

Seizing upon the beauty of the rainbow, this small book dazzles with the promises of God. Each colorful band invites the reader to ponder a sacred vow of the Lord. In a constantly changing world, we can find peace in God's faithfulness that never changes. Vibrant hues deliver deep imprints as we visualize and meditate on the comforting benefit of these assurances. Through illustrations, simplicity, and soul-warming contemplations, Paula reveals the assigned purpose of the rainbow-God's reminder of His commitment to us. "I have placed my rainbow in the clouds. It is the sign of My covenant with you and with all the earth" (Genesis 9:13). This colorful book boldly proclaims that even though storms will come, there is no stopping the rainbow, and there is no stopping God's promises.

When her adult daughter decided to identify as male, author Vera English experienced profound upheaval in her family and in her life of faith. What started out as a mother's desperate quest for answers turned into a remarkable expedition of faith. Identity Confusion & The Church is a fresh, current, and deeply thought-provoking look into what shapes an identity. The unexpected trial of identity confusion caused Vera to look inward at her own identity within the Christian culture. Vera is quick to point out that we all suffer from some level of identity confusion, especially in matters of the church. She further asserts that we add to the world's confusion with religious jargon that often sounds more like bigotry and less like Jesus. For this reason, Vera, beautifully presents the Biblical application of taking the log out of our own eye "first".By sharing her vulnerable experience as a mom and as a Christian, Vera helps us get a better grasp on the dynamics of identity confusion from a faith-based perspective. She provides valuable new insights, turning the tables of judgment on those quick to condemn, and inviting us instead down the path of mercy, grace, and self-reflection. Along the way, we will discover-as Vera did-the blessing that comes in the journey, providing answers to the deepest questions of personal faith.
