An Invitation to the Heart of WorshipÂ

Â

â May we allow our hearts to be touched with amazement and filled with gratitude. May this gratitude cause us to stop what we are doing, bow down and offer our lives on the altar of worship in deep adoration of who He is and what He does for us. How can we not worship Him?â Â

Â

â I have learned from experience, along with many others who have been captured by His impassioned love toward us, that the more I worship Him, the more I love Him. And the more I love Him, the more I desire to fervidly worship Him.â Â

Â

â Oh, that our worship is a sweet aroma, a divine fragrance that fills the house!â Â

â Søren KierkegaardÂ

Â

What gives life meaning? For the incomparable nineteenth-century Dane, Søren Kierkegaard, it was â a question of understanding my own destiny, of seeing what God really wants me to do; the thing is to find a truth which is truth for me, to find the idea for which I am willing to live and die.â Â

Â

Medicine for the Heart is a guide to the extraordinary richness of Scripture seen through Kierkegaardâ s eyes. He wrote about Scripture as none other, a literature of surpassing artistry and rare moral power. Kierkegaard described a new believer who discovered that life was beautiful, that it was a new gloriousness of faith that no human being can give to another, but that every human being has what is highest, noblest, and most sacred in humankind. It is original in him, and every human being has it if he wants to have it.Â

The author is an internationally recognized professor of cardiology whose research has been devoted to understanding and explaining the workings of the human heart.Â

Hear the Voices and Hearts of Your Sisters.

In these turbulent times when the ugly stain of racism is at the forefront of our society bringing rampant division and mistrust, we desperately need ways to come together.

To build bridges of understanding between all in the body of Christ, we bring you twenty-three voices of Black Christian women, authors, ministers, educators, leaders, and mothers. Their powerful life experiences and heartfelt wisdom will shake you, open your eyes, and help you understand your sisters in Christ.

From the ways women of color are treated in our society, to raising Black daughters and sons, how a Black woman can have a white supremacist attitude, to how to respond as Christ would have us, their life experiences will be a link in bridging the gap between us with love.

-- As a Christian, my response to all the tension, the polarization, and toxic environments currently unfolding in America is to consistently ask the Lord, ''How can I best represent you?'' . . . Change starts with you, and includes repentance, listening, being willing to move out of your comfort zone and have empathy for someone who doesn't look like you. -- Mercy Lokulutu

May this powerful volume be a part of the bridge of love and understanding we need to walk across with our sisters.

When we go through hard times, we long for those who understand, who have gone down this road before us. This is your tribe.

In this second edition of She Writes for Him: Stories of Living Hope, you will hear voices of women sharing discoveries of hope, and even joy, theyâ ve uncovered in the most unlikely circumstancesâ the hard places of cancer, addiction, abuse, mental health issues, and suffering.

Voices of experience, empathy, and encouragement share the shock of a cancer diagnosis, the need for a support structure, and how to endure the long haul of treatments.

When addiction reaches into a family, one woman finds a way to honor her alcoholic father, another shares how to deal with addicted family members, and a third shares her path to triumph over a very real food addiction. From mental and spiritual abuse to the often-hidden shame of mental illness to escaping the violence of an outlaw gang, women relate their candid true-life stories.

These transparent accounts of finding the hope Christ gives will strengthen your faith and bring you inspiration for the circumstances of your own life.

It's not often we speak about abortion, shame, betrayal, depression, anxiety, and loss in our circles of faith. It can be uncomfortable as we try to reconcile why a good God allows suffering and pain. Life is messy, and yet we need not silence these stories.

She Writes For Him: Stories of Resilient Faith is written by brave women who have boldly ventured out to tell their hard stories. These resilient women have found that God can be trusted in the midst of difficult and tragic circumstances. They have found God's redemption in their pain and their willingness to look doubts in the face and claim God's steadfast love over their trials.

This book is Redemption Press's debut in a series meant to infuse hope and courage to others who have experienced a similar journey, that they might know they are not alone and can find healing.

Maybe this will be the cure Iâ ve been praying for⠯⠦Â

Sherry Hoppen was hiding a secret alcohol addiction. When she said yes to joining a thousand-mile bike ride for charity, it was a desperate attempt to kick-start a positive change in her lifeâ the hard wayâ by riding her bike from Michigan to Texas. She asked herself, â Will this be what it takes to get me sober?â This nonathletic mom who worked in ministry and directed a childrenâ s choir was a respected member of the community. But she also drank alone at homeâ and couldnâ t stop. Â

Â

With her no-holds-barred honesty and humor, Sherry Hoppen recounts her many attempts and failures at achieving sobriety, and the hiding and her shame over the addiction that held her prisoner for over ten yearsâ until the day she surrendered and God took over.Â

Â

Ten years later, Sherry is living a life of sobriety and is passionate about helping other women surrender the secret sin of addiction that cripples their faith and family life. Sober Cycle offers hope without judgment or trite mantras, assuring readers that they, too, can find redemption and healing and a life free from addictionâ all without riding a bike for thousands of miles.Â
