Review(s):
“Tom Phillips describes a spiritual reawakening that is transforming the lives of everyday people, and how your life too can be changed.”
—Luis Palau, worldwide evangelist
Signs of a coming revival seem to be appearing all around us. Tom Phillips shares some extraordinary insights and encouragement in this “cutting edge” book. Every Christian will be both blessed and challenged by reading it and responding to its message.
—Paul A. Cedar, President, Mission America Coalition
At a time when all the tabloids, talk shows, and enemies in high places are slandering our Lord and the gospel, God has been working quietly to undermine their strategies and revive His work. At this very moment, there is a mighty move of God mushrooming to unprecedented levels, eclipsing everything to the contrary. A spirit of anticipation is everywhere.

America’s spiritual history has included significant tides of spiritual awakening that influenced entire generations for Christ. Over and over again, God has rescued us when we have united together in prayer. Following the low spiritual tide of the last few decades, America is once again poised to see an inrushing of God’s presence that will drive away darkness and despair. Dr. Phillips’ new book, Jesus Now, charts a course for your involvement in this new awakening. Together we can see America’s spiritual tide rise again!

“The Kingdom of God is not going to arrive on Air Force One,” said Chuck Colson. Politicians are not going to save America. Wall Street is not going to save America. If America is to be saved, Tom Phillips’ new book, Jesus Now, points to the cure: Jesus. Jesus Now reinforces Fyodor Dostoevsky’s insight, “The West has lost Christ, and that is why it is dying; that is the only reason.”
—David Lane, American Renewal Project
Perhaps one of the most important aspects of revival is hope—the hope that God is not done with us yet and is preparing to do a new thing in our midst. Tom Phillips gives us that hope powerfully in his new book, Jesus Now. Your prayers for revival will arise on fresh wings of hope after reading this book.
—Dr. David Butts, Chairman, America’s National Prayer Committee
In a nation that has its share of bad news, Jesus Now is like a refreshing breeze of hope. Tom Phillips’ passion for revival and awakening will not only inspire you to believe but challenge you to become engaged in this next great move of God in America.

Tom Phillips has been a friend and a collaborator of mine in evangelism and revival for over twenty-five years. Jesus Now is his mirror image. It combines his voice as a messenger of hope with his intense desire to see people and cultures transformed by the power of Jesus Christ.

It will focus your priorities, intensify your hunger, and inspire you with confidence.

I’ve had the privilege of knowing Dr. Phillips for many years, partnered in ministry with him, and served on various boards together. His passion for God and for revival is consistent and unwavering. Tom’s book, Jesus Now, is an amazing resource born out of a lifetime of his personal hunger, study, experiences, and contending for the authentic. Jesus Now not only inspires us through what God has done in past revivals, but also equips us with practical understanding of their commonalities and potential hindrances. This is a much-needed book with a timely message by a man who truly understands what it will take to see a great awakening and mighty harvest.

Where is hope when there is no hope?
First-time parents Joe and Tahni Cullen were thrust into the confusing world of autism when their toddler, Josiah, suddenly lost his ability to speak, play, and socialize. The diagnosis: Autism Spectrum Disorder. In their attempts to see Josiah recover and regain speech, the Cullens underwent overwhelming physical, emotional, and financial struggles. While other kids around him improved, Josiah only got worse.
Five years later, Josiah, who had not been formally taught to read or write, suddenly began to type on his iPad profound paragraphs about God, science, history, business, music, strangers, and heaven. Josiah’s eye-opening visions, heavenly encounters, and supernatural experiences forced his family out of their comfort zone and predictable theology, catapulting them into a mind-blowing love-encounter with Jesus.

Josiah’s Fire is one of those books you can’t put down.

Josiah’s Fire opened a whole new world of thinking to me, making me ponder how God moves and communicates to those who have ears to hear. I found myself rapt with attention as I moved from page to page, often on the verge of tears, often on the verge of laughing out loud. Why ‘on the verge’? Because what I read awed me to the degree that it was near impossible to cry or laugh. This excellently written book will give hope to many. Truly a story that had to be told.

Wow. Josiah’s Fire. Total wonderment. It is otherworldly, utterly remarkable, nearly unbelievable. And yet, I humbly and reverently believe in a God who can do anything, with anyone, at any time, and in any way he sees fit. Few are graced with gifts as special as have been given to this precious boy. I can’t help but stand in awe of the Good Gift-Giver himself. To God be the glory. Great things he is doing through this amazing family’s must-read story.

I’ve learned that the ones who society considers least, God often uses most. And adversity often puts us on God’s varsity. Josiah is no exception. This remarkable lad has autism, but autism doesn’t have him! There’s no limit to what God can do with a totally surrendered life. This powerful book will stretch and propel you on your journey with Jesus. Buy one for yourself and ten to give away! Your friends will thank you for it.

Scripture states we must become like little children to enter the kingdom of heaven. Josiah’s Fire is a story of redemption, hope, and God’s big love speaking through a speechless little boy with autism. Young Josiah has a spiritual depth unmatched by many adults, and a knowledge of heaven not found in books. It’s also a story of a mother’s love, persistence, and sacrifice to help the world hear words her son cannot vocalize. Brilliant writing turns this true story into a page-turning, awe-inspiring glimpse into a gifted mind and a miracle-performing God. You’ll want to read this book even if you don’t know about autism but want to know more about heaven.

Josiah’s Fire is an amazing experience! Through a surprising and unusual communication method, a young boy struggling with severe autism opens a world of stunning intelligence, mysterious insights—and heaven. The descriptions of angelic activity are extremely convincing. But more than that, you’ll view God through new eyes. Josiah will hold you spellbound with his beyond-captivating experiences in heaven that are both revelatory and revolutionary. Very few books have held me captive, making me sacrifice sleep and time—but this book did! Read it and you’ll find yourself more empowered to joyfully participate with heaven on earth.

I am a journalist and a skeptic and can spot a fake a mile away. Believe me, Josiah Cullen is no fake. Without knowing a thing about me, Josiah wrote twenty-three details of my life that no one could have possibly known except through the Spirit of God. This ten-year-old, non-verbal autistic boy gave me messages that changed my life, always bringing me back to Jesus and the Word of God. Josiah’s Fire is life changing from start to finish and had me in tears before I finished.”
– Max Davis, author of more than thirty books, including DeadDog Like Me and When Jesus Was a Green-Eyed Brunette
As Josiah’s former ABA therapist, I had the pleasure of witnessing his hard work and courage. After Josiah’s communication breakthrough, Tahni and I discussed the validity of his statements, and Josiah and I typed letters back and forth about his challenges, desires, and fears. Josiah is a great example of how a soul lies beyond the physical, and why it is so vital to treat all children with equity and worth. These children have abilities that can revolutionize people who are open to receive their gifted messages. Josiah’s voice opens doors to spiritual understanding, and I am excited for him to share it with the world.

Drama. Romance. Intrigue. The Bible contains all the elements of a blockbuster movie, and the book of Ruth is one of the best. Latte for Life: 45 Devotions from the Book of Ruth studies the life of Ruth as she marries, loses her husband, follows her mother-in-law to an unknown land, and finds love again.
Each reading includes:
- Scripture from Ruth and life-infusing commentary it—just like that delicious first taste of coffee in the morning.
- Daily reflection and conversation with God that will sweeten your life.
- Other relevant Scriptures that leave you craving for more.
- A final quote to be savored like that last drop of coffee.
Sacrificial love and happy endings aren’t always fictional. God has already written a beautiful love story for you. All you have to do is accept it.
Review(s):
Author Renae Brumbaugh Green enjoys her real-life romantic comedy life or endures it (depending on how much coffee she’s had)! Her latest book, Latte for Life: 45 Devotions from the Book of Ruth, inspires us to see how the almost fairy-tale yet true account of Ruth and Boaz is similar to our own love story with the Prince of Peace—complete with happy ending. If you love Rom-Coms, coffee, grinning, and Jesus, this book’s for you.

EAN: 9781424551439
A few years ago, Ocieanna Fleiss—wife and work-at-home mother of four young children—would have described herself as overwhelmed, stressed, and focused on finishing her to-do list. But when at age forty-two, a sudden cardiac arrest stopped her heart, everything changed.
During those quiet months of recovery, as she reflected on her life, a pattern arose. Like a loving father, Christ had always walked with her—through childhood neglect, miscarriages, the death of her parents, and even through her own death!
Amazed by God’s loving hand in her life, Ocieanna overflowed with a desire to love in a new, more profound way. Out of this desire, transforming truths gently came to light: truths that changed her life forever and will show you how God can weave everything in your life into His elaborate plan.

Review(s):
"Love Like There’s No Tomorrow is a beautifully encouraging book about the second (and third!) chances God grants us, and how he intersects our trauma with genuine grace. Poignant storytelling, raw honesty, and glimpses of God’s plan—this book will remain with you."
—Mary DeMuth, author of Worth Living: How God’s Wild Love for You Makes You Worthy
"Ocieanna’s dying wasn’t the beginning nor the end of her story. The suffering of one moment has given her a clear vision of who she was, who God is, and what she is to do now. She reminds us that serving Christ isn’t the same as knowing him, along with so many more lessons of love that will have me thinking and incorporating them for years— perhaps my entire life."
—Peter Leavell, author of Gideon’s Call, award-winning novelist, speaker, and historian
"Ocieanna’s personal journey of trials, emotional pain, and ultimate redemption will inspire you to look at yourself and others the way God does—like a child who is loved, like there’s no tomorrow."
—Anna DeBord, mom of two
"In the grips of a cardiac event, life becomes a vapor Ocieanna can’t grab onto, drifting away from her grasp. In her book Love Like There’s No Tomorrow, she describes the intensity a cardiac arrest has on everyone around her—and the residual effects it leaves forever. Through the experiences and stories she shares, her candor and openness transport the reader into a changed life and changed world. But the goal is clear: Ocieanna offers the privilege, discovery, and new life derived from her faith in Jesus. Cardiac arrest need not be fatal, but instead, a gateway to renewed love for life and our Creator."
—Cindy Scinto, heart transplant recipient, speaker, teacher, and author of A Heart Like Mine and A Heart Like Yours
"There are few memoirs like this one. Love Like There’s No Tomorrow is at once an exploration of our common human wounds, a vulnerable account of spiritual failings, very solid theology, triumphant, longing, hopeful. Young, old, rich, poor, alive or nearly dead, it is likely you’ll find elements of your own story echoed in these pages. And it is certain you will find the grace of Jesus, which has clearly shaped every word."
—Matt Barker, pastor, Grace Reformed Church, Walkerton, Indiana
"God’s faithfulness and healing is revealed in this inspiring true story. I was deeply moved by Ocieanna’s openness and vulnerability in her memoir of love."
—Heidi Dalrymple, homeschool mom of three
"Love Like There’s No Tomorrow taught me one thing above all else: he LOVES me. I can stop striving to please him by my works, worrying that he’s frowning on me, or doubting his grace. He LOVES me. I will always be grateful for this book’s reminder of that."
—Carol Perlot, entrepreneur and mom of two
"If you’re going through a struggle in life, whether emotional, physical, or financial, you should read Love Like There’s No Tomorrow. It is a wonderful and wonder-filled book about how God works in our lives, especially in our trials. It’s a reminder of how graciously he gives us second chances, and how he brings beauty from ashes. You will not be the same after reading this book."
—Mary Starman, product marketing and management maven

Mothers in today’s world wear many hats and struggle to keep the stress in their lives at manageable levels. Add the delightful but demanding new hat of mother of the bride (MOB) to the roles they are already juggling, and you have a host of middle-aged moms pushed to their limits, in desperate need of an empathetic voice and moments of nourishing relaxation.
While trying to maintain life as they knew it before their daughter’s big announcements, MOBs are called upon to magically morph into wedding planners, help their daughters navigate the journey to the altar, and establish new and loving relationships with their prospective sons- in-law and their families. With all focus, financial and otherwise, dedicated to the brides and the weddings themselves, the needs of mothers of the bride are overlooked.
Mother of the Bride will help MOBs step away from the hurried pace of daily life complicated by a demanding new role. It will offer them the refreshment found in discovering community as they take time for themselves—time to be encouraged, to gain helpful insight and practical tips, and to enjoy the feminine beauty of a book designed just for them.
Through essays featuring relevant quotes or Scriptures, personal stories, nuggets of wisdom, simple suggestions for personal pampering, journaling opportunities, communication aids, and practical tips for wedding planning, Mother of the Bride will nurture the all-important but too often neglected mother of the bride.

In this 21-week Bible study, T. C. Stallings challenges us to take a hard look in the mirror and decide if we are a “participant” or “true team player” for Christ. What an awesome study to bring us closer to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
─ Ryan Russell, Director of Athletic Performance for Auburn University Football
It's refreshing to see T. C. Stallings boldly living for Christ. His experiences as a former college and professional athlete give him the much-needed credibility within the world of athletics, which, in essence, allows him to be his brothers’ keeper. As iron sharpens iron, one person sharpens another (Proverbs 27:17). My prayer is that you will use this devotional to sharpen your spiritual skills, get you off the sideline, and fearlessly play on God's team!

Scripture encourages adults to take an active role in discipling children, in making them students of Christ. Moms and dads, grandparents, and mentors are on the front line of helping the youngest to understand and trust God's Word.
In Point Me to Jesus, author Tara McClary Reeves equips grown-ups with 365 quick lessons to be shared with their children. Each day begins with a key verse from the Bible. Reeves then uses stories and insights to help build a Christian worldview around the topics of who Jesus is, why He came, how He lived, how He wants us to live and share His love with others, and more. Every reading concludes with a question for reflection and discussion.

Review(s):
The world fights hard for the hearts and affections of our children. We hear the statistics of children who turn away from the faith as soon as they leave home. It’s a sad reality in today’s culture, but it doesn’t have to be that way. Raising our children takes courage, strength, love, and intentionality. God shows us the way. Deuteronomy 6:7 says, “Repeat them again and again to your children. Talk about them when you are at home and when you are on the road, when you are going to bed and when you are getting up.” In essence, point them to Jesus constantly and consistently. Let all of life be all about Jesus. Tara’s book is a gift to parents who desire to guide their children into a love of God’s Word and a deeper faith.

“Point Me to Jesus is appropriately named. Tara McClary Reeves points young readers to Jesus and gently teaches how to follow Him to enjoy the good life He has planned. Using biblical stories, along with captivating historical events, and her personal illustrations, she explains key Christian principles: choosing to obey, forgiving, showing and sharing Jesus’ love, learning to pray, making good choices, serving and cooperating with others, being thankful, giving our worries to Jesus, and keeping Him in first place. I’ve known the author since she was a little girl as she learned these truths from her devoted parents. With passion and creativity, she communicates one significant truth: following Jesus is the best decision anyone can make. A theme throughout the book is clearly stated here: “You can be sure God intends to use your life to accomplish big things” (May 14). Many precious young hearts will learn to trust and lean on Jesus.”
