Prepared To Answer: Telling the Greatest Story Ever Told
by Mark A Paustian"How do I tell someone about Jesus?" As a Christian, you often want to tell other people about Jesus and what he's done for them, but it isn't always easy to know how to respond when your friend, family member, coworker, or someone else asks you tough questions about your faith. Questions like: Where is the evidence that God even exists? What kind of God demands worship? Whatever happened to tolerance? Why doesn't God answer my prayers? Where is God when I'm hurting? If you've ever felt unprepared to answer those questions, you're not alone. Prepared to Answer provides you with helpful examples for sharing your faith through loving, Scripture-based responses to some common objections to Christianity. Through a unique, storytelling and narrative approach, author Mark Paustian provides you with engaging answers to the questions listed above as well as questions about why bad things happen, different interpretations of the Bible, abortion, miracles, Jesus as a myth, morality, and so much more. After reading this book, you'll be prepared to answer when people ask you about your faith and point them to their Savior, Jesus.

by Henry BlackabyMary was a simple, ordinary woman who was chosen by God for the extraordinary. Why would God choose this peasant girl and entrust her with the raising of our Savior?

Henry Blackaby and his daughter Carrie Webb Blackaby show through the life of Mary how God can use anyone - regardless of stature or abilities-if their hearts are fully committed to Him.

Preparing Couples for Love and Marriage: A Pastor's Resource
by James L. Furrow Cameron LeeGood preparation enables couples to take a first step together in facing their future challenges. While no one can smooth away all the rough spots in the marital road ahead, couples can be coached to pay attention to warning signs, see the bumps before they hit them, and deal more skillfully with inevitable conflicts. This book provides pastors with a framework and tools for this ministry. The good news is that you don’t need any formal background in counseling, because the kind of work we’re talking about isn’t counseling—it’s coaching—a coach who can help couples to respond positively to the differences between them. It’s not about having the answers; but is it about helping couples manage difficulties before they become serious threats to the marriage.
