Thousands... Not Billions: Challenging an Icon of Evolution - Questioning the Age of the Earth
by Dr. Donald DeYoung"Evolutionary models for life, earth, and space are questioned today by a significant group of scientists worldwide. They are convinced that the earth and the entire universe are the result of a supernatural creation event which occurred just thousands of years ago, not billions of years." Why do conventional methods for dating rocks differ so radically? What does carbon-14 found in diamonds tell us? Was there accelerated nuclear decay in earth's history? Are the creation and Flood accounts genuine historic events? These and many other questions are addressed in Thousands...Not Billions. This book summarizes eight years of research by the Institute for Creation Research (ICR) and a team of scientists, whose goal was to explore the age of the earth from a biblical perspective. The project title was Radioisotopes and the Age of The Earth, or RATE. The age of the earth is one of the most divisive topics today, much debated by scholars and laypersons alike. What one believes about the age of the earth goes a long way in determining world views. The Bible is explicit that the earth is young, but many people feel that science has proved our planet is more than four billion year old. Thousands...Not Billions provides a compelling challenge to Darwinian evolution.
Thrashing About with God
by Mandy StewardWhat if Jesus didn't die so our lives could look perfect? What if He died so we could stop feeling like our lives have to be perfect to mean something? What if we simply live out our own story, even if it doesn't look as others say it should? Mandy Steward set out in pursuit of these what-ifs. She didn't find answers so much as she discovered a messy grace that knows no limits and a God that was and is willing to thrash about with her no matter her questions or struggles or doubts. What she found was abundant life, but it didn't look like she thought it was going to. It was far different, and much deeper. This is a book without "easy" answers that lets those struggling with faith and searching for more know they are not alone.

by Stacey Thacker"Friend, if you are worn-out and know you 'should' pray but have no words, there is help in these pages. Stacey Thacker knows the depths of deep dependence on God. She's been through the nothing-left-to-give moments. The ones in which you can only whisper, 'Lord, help.' With her authentic devotions and the Holy Spirit groaning on your behalf, I'm confident you will find hope and encouragement in these pages." –Heather MacFadyen, Host of the Don't Mom Alone Podcast about Threadbare Prayer Life sometimes brings difficult situations or circumstances that can leave us feeling run-down, drained, worn-out, and threadbare.

Each entry in this attractive, gift-worthy devotional contains a Bible verse, a brief thought, and a simple, concise prayer to encourage the reader’s heart. From the Introduction Threadbare [thred-bair] adjective 1. having the nap worn off so as to lay bare the threads of the warp and woof, as a fabric, garment, etc. I propped my feet on the ottoman and noticed my jeans had finally worn thin enough at the knee to be considered stylish. Threadbare they are. I picked the string still holding on for dear life and thought, How appropriate. I’m feeling every bit threadbare myself. My nap has worn off. Worn to the naked thread. I’m hanging on for dear life. Features 100 devotions including a Bible verse, a brief thought, and threadbare prayer. Helps guide readers on days they don’t know what to pray. Make a great women’s gift. Attractive hardcover devotional book with 2-color interior. More Praise for Threadbare Prayer "Threadbare Prayer is for the weary and heavy laden one who needs help turning to the only One who can shoulder our everyday burdens as well as our especially broken spaces. Not only will this book help you know how to pray in your time of need, it will point you again and again to the goodness and glory of our capable, faithful God. " –Katie Orr, author of Secrets of the Happy Soul: Experience the Deep Delight You Were Made For "If you've ever felt like there is just the thinnest thread holding you together, this book is for you. It's raw and real and beautiful. When you don't know what to pray, how to pray, or even why you should pray, pick up Threadbare Prayer." Whisper these words from one who knows the weariness, the worry, and the weight and hear the whisper of peace from the One who hears, who sees, who knows, and who cares. –Teri Lynne Underwood, author of Praying for Girls: Asking God for the Things They Need Most "I’m convinced that one of the reasons God allows us to walk through hard things is so He can use our lives to tell a story of His faithfulness to the people around us watching, waiting to see if the God we say we love is worth following. He did it with Hosea. He did it with Paul. He is doing it with Stacey Thacker. Over the last few years I have watched her absolutely refuse to stop clinging to Christ in the midst of a deluge of hard things. The words in this book are hard-won. They are hard-lived. These prayers have been prayed so many times...but the beauty of threadbare prayers is that they never, ever wear out...even when we do. I’m so grateful to Stacey, and the entire Thacker family, for allowing us to see Jesus in them." –Brooke McGlothlin, co-founder of millionprayingmoms.com, and author of Praying for Boys: Asking God for the Things They Need Most "I was deeply moved reading Threadbare Prayer. Moved in my core from page one, with burning tears, and then into comfort and truth of Jesus. Page after page, prayer after prayer, reminded me to lift my eyes from my struggle to The One who saves.

Threading My Prayer Rug: One Woman's Journey from Pakistani Muslim to American Muslim
by Sabeeha RehmanONE OF BOOKLIST'S TOP TEN RELIGION AND SPIRITUALITY BOOKS OF 2016ONE OF BOOKLIST'S TOP TEN DIVERSE NONFICTION BOOKS OF 2017Honorable Mention in the 2017 San Francisco Book Festival Awards, Spiritual CategoryThis enthralling story of the making of an American is also a timely meditation on being Muslim in America today.Threading My Prayer Rug is a richly textured reflection on what it is to be a Muslim in America today. It is also the luminous story of many journeys: from Pakistan to the United States in an arranged marriage that becomes a love match lasting forty years; from secular Muslim in an Islamic society to devout Muslim in a society ignorant of Islam, and from liberal to conservative to American Muslim; from student to bride and mother; and from an immigrant intending to stay two years to an American citizen, business executive, grandmother, and tireless advocate for interfaith understanding.Beginning with a sweetly funny, moving account of her arranged marriage, the author undercuts stereotypes and offers the refreshing view of an American life through Muslim eyes. In chapters leavened with humor, hope, and insight, she recounts an immigrant’s daily struggles balancing assimilation with preserving heritage, overcoming religious barriers from within and distortions of Islam from without, and confronting issues of raising her children as Muslims-while they lobby for a Christmas tree! Sabeeha Rehman was doing interfaith work for Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf, the driving force behind the Muslim community center at Ground Zero, when the backlash began. She discusses what that experience revealed about American society.

Threads of Awakening: An American Woman's Journey into Tibet's Sacred Textile Art
by Leslie Rinchen-WongmoWhat if you set out to travel the world and got sidetracked in a Himalayan sewing workshop? What if that sidetrack turned out to be your life’s path—your way home? Part art book, part memoir, part spiritual travelogue, Threads of Awakening is a delightful and inspiring blend of adventure and introspection. Leslie Rinchen-Wongmo shares her experience as a California woman traveling to the seat of the Tibetan government-in-exile in India to manage an economic development fund, only to wind up sewing pictures of Buddha instead. Through her remarkable journey, she discovered that a path is made by walking it—and that some of the best paths are made by walking off course. For more than 500 years, Tibetans have been creating sacred images from pieces of silk. Much rarer than paintings and sculptures, these stitched fabric thangkas are among Tibet's finest artworks. Leslie studied this little-known textile art with two of its brightest living masters and let herself discover where curiosity and devotion can lead. In this book, she reveals the unique stitches of an ancient needlework tradition, introduces the Buddhist deities it depicts, and shares insights into the compassion, interdependence, and possibility they embody. Includes 49 full-color photos and a foreword by the Dalai Lama.
