Virtue is more than the warm fuzzy feeling we get when we’ve done a random act of kindness. More than political correctness. More than proper social conduct. Virtue is character. The inner strength that makes us who we are. The outward act that communicates love and grace and hope to those around us.

This little book explores 52 virtues which make our lives better and our souls stronger--26  private virtues, character traits which are nurtured in the deepest places of our inner lives; and 26  public virtues, which reveal those private strengths as they make themselves known in our actions and relationships.

Beautifully designed with original four-color artwork on each page, Simple Words of Wisdom is a treasure you’ll want to keep for yourself and give away to those you love.

People today live in a frantic, troubled world. We long for peace but live in chaos. We get a lot done, but we have become slaves to the doing, and have neglected the being. Neglected our souls. It’s no wonder many of us suffer from Chronic Spiritual Fatigue Syndrome.

Beside a Quiet Stream invites readers to come to a place of quietness and rest, to leave behind the frantic, frazzled pace of 21^st century life, just for a little while. Illustrated with stunning photographs, the devotionals in this book will soothe your soul and bring rest to your weary heart.

My father’s legacy, my inheritance from him, hasn’t come in the form of stocks and bonds, but in bait and tackle and memories of the sunrise over the water. We fished. We talked. We listened. We laughed. And Dad taught me, maybe without even knowing it, the most important lessons of my life.

The stories my father told me, the wisdom he imparted on our Saturday morning fishing trips, are all here in Thanks, Dad! Illustrated throughout with rustic log-cabin artwork, the book makes a great Father’s Day or anytime gift for your own dad--or anyone who has had an impact on your life.

We all know the story--the journey to Bethlehem, the birth in the stable, the angels appearing to shepherds on the hillside. Mary, Joseph, and the Baby lying in the manger.

But the very familiarity of the story can keep us from seeing it afresh. We lose sight of Mary’s pain and fear, Joseph’s anxiety, the confusion of the shepherds. And what about all those other people whose ordinary lives intersected with the holiest moment in history?

The Miracle of the Christmas Child takes a different approach to the birth we celebrate every year. In twenty short fictional vignettes, this book gives us a new perspective on the old story--a look inside the hearts and minds of Mary, Joseph, the shepherds, the  innkeeper--even the tax collector and fellow travelers in the inn. And through these tales, we find ourselves understanding the miraculous birth in new and insightful ways.

Magnificently illustrated with Renaissance art, this book makes a beautiful gift for friends and loved ones. And it will make your own celebration of Advent and Christmas an experience you’ll remember long after the tree has come down and the decorations have been put away.
