20 undated devotions that offer hope in times of trial.
Since being diagnosed with incurable cancer, Jeremy Marshall has been known for his ability to connect the difficulties that Christians face in this life with the deep seated joy that is found in knowing the Lord Jesus.

Who wants to merely go through the motions of religion? We long for something authentic something worth opening our hearts to, filling our minds with, and giving our lives for. We hope for something better than the "churchianity" of our parents and the vague spirituality of our neighbors, something better than guilt-induced, holier-than-thou morality, better than here-and-now, health-and-wealth promises. In her thought-provoking and authentic style, Nancy Guthrie shows that Jesus himself offers the something better we've been looking for, applying the truths of Hebrews to real-life issues such as guilt, shame, disappointment, hardship, unhealthy obsessions, personal ambition, and fear of death.

A perfect integration of history and Latin. Join Neil Perkins, a Latin student at Haltwhistle Grammar School in England, as he unearths an ancient Roman manuscript. The only way to solve the mystery is to translate the ancient Latin text. Great historic fiction. Highly recommended!!!!
