Enjoy a Spiritually Refreshing Stay at This Spa

What woman doesn't benefit from the cleansing refreshment of a pedicure--a treat for the feet that not only beautifies but rejuvenates as well?

In her new book Beautiful Feet: A Day Spa for Your Soul, popular women's retreat speaker Kathryn Graves contends that learning to have a power-filled prayer life can do for the spirit what an appointment at the spa does for a woman's overall well-being.

In this helpful, interactive five-week Bible study from CrossHouse Publishing, Kathryn helps women learn to make over their prayer lives so they can pray the kind of prayers God will surely answer. As she inventively employs the motif of the steps in a pedicure, Kathryn inspires her learners to have "beautiful feet" that are motivated to tell the Good News of Jesus as an outgrowth of participants' enriched communication with Him. A section of leader-helps appears at the end of the book.

From Prisoner to Soul-Winner, Former Inmate Tells His Story

Too many people like to blame others for their mistakes. Not Clark Crawford, inmate-turned-evangelist.

Crawford's new book, recently published by CrossHouse, boldly proclaims Thank God I Got Caught. Crawford says had he not gotten caught for illegal drug possession, he might never have accepted Jesus Christ as his personal Savior and Lord.

Had he not met Jesus while Crawford was in a Texas prison, the author wouldn't have been able to recover from his drug and alcohol addictions, he says.

The short, pithy, brutally honest book is a riveting personal account of one man's journey from Satan's clutches to God's blessings.

Families Can Learn About Depression Era Through This Classic Read-Aloud

Depression-Era memorabilia has become highly sought-after. People are digging for recollections, remembrances, and tips for how others lived in that frightening time in the last century so today's folk might learn insights to help in these days of startling economic meltdown.

No more profound truths about the late 1920s and early 1930s can be found than in the pages of In Care of the Conductor, a boy's heart-warming memoir of growing up during that tight Depression era and how individual families coped.

Author Jim Rogers' single mom is unable to find work in her rural Southern town, so she moves to the big city, where she secures a job. This means little Jimmie has to ride a train by himself from his grandparents' farm to enable him to see his mother at all. In this endearing tale, as he travels Jimmie has to wear around his neck a sign that reads, "In Care of the Conductor."

The book reveals the woes as well as victories that families experience during a time when they have to live on next-to-nothing. Nothing is wasted, every inch of everything is put to good use, all meals are made "from scratch", and people consider themselves wealthy merely if they can enjoy fellowship with friends and family.

The book shows young Jimmie's awareness of the importance of faith to see him through and his realization that his life, despite its troubles, depends on the Great "Conductor" to guide him and his loved ones to better days.

This book is an economically priced family-read-aloud selection or ideal for Homeschool families to help today's youngsters learn about life in another economic meltdown time.
