Eighth Day Prayers
Daily Mercy for Lent and Eastertide
Year by year, our souls are formed by the forty days of Lent, the hosannas and despairs of Holy Week, the earth-shattering empty tomb, and the joyous fifty-day feast of Eastertide. We recognize our need for the Cross, we prepare to meet our risen Lord again—and we remember that death is not the end. The beauty of the gospel is simple but it is not small, so we put our hope in the love of God.
Eighth Day Prayers: Mercy for Lent and Eastertidecalls us to a place of repentance and celebration as we journey from Ash Wednesday to Pentecost. This gentle yet powerful guide encourages us to pray with words taken from Scripture.
We are all living in the eighth day: The day of Jesus’s resurrection. The day of new creation. The day in which the kingdom of God is “already here and not yet fulfilled.” Eighth Day Prayers invites us to draw closer to Him as we reflect on His mercy during these sacred seasons of Lent and Eastertide.

Men Don't Run in the Rain
A Son’s Reflections on Life, Faith, and an Iconic Father
Few things shape a life more profoundly than the lessons of a father.
William "Bill" Burgess was a larger-than-life personality. This was displayed on football fields across the Southeast, first as a player at Auburn University and later as a championship-winning coach at the high school and collegiate levels. But he was also a father.
His son, New York Times best-selling author and nationally syndicated radio host Rick Burgess, had a front-row seat to this legendary man who had a way with words like few others. Through rich storytelling, Rick Burgess captures his father's many colorful sayings and stories, taking them a step further by cleverly and clearly communicating the spiritual truths behind each one.
Men Don't Run In the Rain is a timeless reflection on the kind of man they simply don't make anymore.

The Daystar Dogs
Lucy Learns to Be Brave: A Lesson in Courage
"Lots of things scared Lucy . . . car rides . . . bigger dogs . . . even hiccups. When someone hiccupped near her, she would try to climb on her mom's head, thinking she would be safe up there. It didn't help."
Lucy is a small dog with big fears. Her fears try to trick her into believing things that aren't true--like she can't do things on her own or other dogs are mean and dangerous. Believing these things makes her feel even smaller than she really is!
But Lucy has courage hidden on the inside. To bring it out, she just needs a little help from someone who loves her.
Inspired by her fellow therapist--who happens to be ankle-high and covered in fur--veteran counselor Sissy Goff tells an encouraging story of how love is bigger than fear. It's the secret to helping every puppy and person be brave.
Owen Learns He Has What It Takes: A Lesson in Resilience
Owen is a yellow lab who's scared of new places and people and who stands too close and licks too long. But when he visits a children's hospital, a very special boy helps him find his resilience--even as Owen helps the boys and girls at the hospital do the same.
From veteran counselors and bestselling authors Sissy Goff and David Thomas, The Daystar Dogs series follows Owen and his furry friends at the little yellow house in Nashville. As the puppies, and the kids they help, navigate hard situations, children will discover how to regulate emotions, develop necessary social skills, and discover the difference each puppy--and child--can make. Heartwarming and helpful, these books speak to the heart of what your child needs emotionally, socially, and spiritually today.

What Happens Next
A Traveler’s Guide Through the End of This Age
Are we living in the end times? If so, what does that mean for me? Max Lucado's optimistic, accessible, and non-sensational guide to what the Bible says about heaven's timeline will empower readers to face the future with faith.
Seven years of chaos called the Tribulation. A cruel and cunning Antichrist. The dreaded battle of Armageddon. These images and ideas associated with prophecy can be stimulating but also unnecessarily scary. Max Lucado believes God wants us to be prepared, not scared. In his first book exploring the end of this age, Max provides a wise, well-researched, and reassuring overview of what God's Word has to say on a topic that often creates confusion and anxiety.
In What Happens Next, Max explores four big ideas that will provide a solid foundation for understanding God's plans and will remind us that we are headed to a far better place than where we started. He explains that
• we were made to reign with Christ;
• God has made and will keep his promises;
• heaven has a timeline; and
• a golden era, the millennium, awaits God's children.
In a world filled with political tension, personal trials, and international turbulence, we find ourselves drawn to exploring what happens next on heaven's timeline. Whether readers find themselves in the "I can't wait," "I'm almost ready," or "I'm not sure about all of this" camp, they will be encouraged to ponder God's plans and promises for the future. In Max's signature encouraging style, he reminds us, "It's all about hope. It's all about Him."

Trust is the oxygen of all human relationships. But it's also what trips you up after you've been burned. Maybe a friend constantly lets you down.
