Book Description
This Christian nonfiction book is the author's testimony to how God's grace saved her from years of insecurities, dysfunctional relationships, self-esteem issues, emotional insecurities, and codependency issues. Growing up in an unstable household gave Joyce Lewis an early look at an unhealthy family environment. She grew up to find herself in problematic and emotionally destructive relationships throughout her childhood and young adult life. Without direction, she wandered through life without Christ to point her to her path. Even though Christ was with her throughout her young life, she failed to notice Him until her eyes were opened to His presence. She learned to accept who she was on a journey to self-discovery that prepared her for God's purpose in her life. Her book is meant to encourage healing, learning, and growth in God's ultimate purpose. Including a helpful guide to help women experience the transition needed to find God in their lives, the book offers insight and guidance. Broken down into nine weeks that focus on self-esteem, codependent behavior, boundaries, emotions, self-talk, and toxic people, the guide will help women find their own paths and see God's desire for their lives.

We pray that our testimonies of God's life-transforming power will be received by you, the reader, as seeds of hope. Seeds that will blossom and produce the fruit of hope so that no matter the type of pain you face, you will find strength to push through the darkness and bloom!

Book Description
How do you make a garden grow? In this playful companion to the popular Tap the Magic Tree and Touch the Brightest Star, you will see how tiny seeds bloom into beautiful flowers. And by tapping, clapping, waving, and more, young readers can join in the action! Christie Matheson masterfully combines the wonder of the natural world with the interactivity of reading. Beautiful collage-and-watercolor art follows the seed through its entire life cycle, as it grows into a zinnia in a garden full of buzzing bees, curious hummingbirds, and colorful butterflies. Children engage with the book as they wiggle their fingers to water the seeds, clap to make the sun shine after rain, and shoo away a hungry snail. Appropriate for even the youngest child, Plant the Tiny Seed is never the same book twice—no matter how many times you read it! And for curious young nature lovers, a page of facts about seeds, flowers, and the insects and animals featured in the book is included at the end. Fans of Press Here, Eric Carle, and Lois Ehlert will find their next favorite book in Plant the Tiny Seed.

Book Description
Fundamentally positive and health-centered in its outlook, the principled approach to leadership found in "Seeds of Fire, Roots of Hope" pulls from different theories and methods that can be used to correct negative misperceptions and to identify, model, and promote positive and productive behaviors in individuals, groups, or organizations. These insights are used by leaders to cultivate a sense of Spirit that guides evaluation and decision-making in an effort to improve outcomes. "There is tremendous freedom in knowing that the solutions organizations and communities seek to their problems already reside within these entities. By grounding our work in Spirit, we experience hope, inspiration, and the healing energy of community. The more we apply these principles to our work, the more we experience a widening of our circle of influence and support. This upward spiral of positive energy is the essence of transformation and why so many leaders are planting Seeds of Fire and growing Roots of Hope." - Jeff Linkenbach
