For years I struggled with prayer. Prayer was more of something that stood between me and that first bite of macaroni and cheese or something that would ward off any monsters in my closet. It was something that would protect me in the night in case I died suddenly, never waking up again. It was less about having a conversation with God and more about a checklist. “Yes, Mom, I said my prayers.” But at 51 years old, I found the hidden door. Maybe like me, you’ve had misconceptions your whole life about prayer. Perhaps you’ve always wanted a more intimate, active prayer life...

Are you traveling a road of confusion? Are you playing on repeat every wrong choice you have ever made and living in the past? If you no longer recognize the person looking back at you in the mirror, then there’s a reason you are reading about this book. Somewhere, you stopped believing that you are created in God’s image. You stopped believing that you are forgiven. You stopped believing in the unlimited grace that is offered to you by simply surrendering your life. Somewhere you stepped away from the plan and purpose God has for you, and you stopped believing His Truth. In this...

How many times have you started a sentence, “I’m afraid…?” You can end that sentence with anything – “there won’t be enough money,” “that I’m going to get sick,” “of what’s happening,” “that he/she doesn’t love me anymore,” “that I’ll never measure up.” Those words “I’m afraid” sneak their way into our conversations, and before we know it, fear becomes a part of our life. It dictates our decisions, stops us from fully believing who we are in Christ, and derails...

The result of the mass genocide in Cambodia, (1975- 1979) was the loss of one-fourth of the Cambodian population. That’s more than two million people who died under the tyranny of the Khmer Rouge in the 1970s, before a Vietnamese invasion forced the hideous regime to give up control of the central government in 1979. Remarkably, some people survived this horrific oppression and have lived to tell their stories of how they managed to do so, despite almost impossible odds. One of those people is Sara Im. Sara shares the remarkable challenges she faced and how she found her way to freedom...

How Can I Give My Child Hope? “I’m such a failure.” “No one cares about me.” “I haven’t felt happy for a long time.” “I don’t want to live anymore.” If you have heard your child utter these words, your fear for their well-being has skyrocketed.
