Friend Me : Turning Faces Into Lasting Relationships
$14.99
From Virtual Friends to Authentic Relationships
With the rise of social media, more of us are managing our relationships online instead of in person. Technology that was meant to make communication easier and faster for busy people may have met its goal, but often at the expense of intimacy and meaningful conversation. In many cases, friendship has become a status decided by the click of a mouse. Kindling a relationship-or cutting one off-is as simple as “friending” someone or removing that person from your list. And someone with a thousand-plus online pals may be the loneliest person on the planet.
If you can identify, you’re not alone. That’s because each of us is wired to thrive in the context of real relationships-live interaction with real individuals, such as is shared by Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. It’s how we give and receive emotional sustenance and support. Yet this type of intimacy can’t be achieved online.
Join Donna Carter on a journey to stronger, more satisfying relationships as you explore:
*The risks of being vulnerable and why they’re worth it
*Qualities to seek out in a friend, as well as to cultivate in your own life
*Toxic relationships and how to avoid them
*Steps toward reconciliation, including forgiveness
*The purpose of solitude in refreshing the soul
*And more!
Experience a richness in your human relationships that you’ve never experienced before. And, as you do, draw closer to the One who designed you to love and be loved, by other people and by Him.

Time Of Jacobs Trouble
$15.99A typical day at the rehabilitation center turns into a nightmare for Emma Grady when her favorite physical therapy patient vanishes in front of her, along with several colleagues. Fear turns to chaos as Emma begins the frantic race from Brooklyn to Queens, anxious to discover if her boyfriend is safe. Subways are closed, graves are open, and countless people have inexplicably disappeared. Mayhem erupts as terror grips the residents of New York City.
Was this a terrorist attack? An alien abduction? Or has evil been unleashed? What else could make so many vanish in a moment? And not just in New York, but all over the globe.
With so many people missing, Emma wonders if this is the predicted end of the world and begins a desperate search to discover the answers.
This unique book takes the reader on a riveting journey from New York City to Israel in the form of a page-turning novel and in the final chapters, Donna leads us into the Bible, where we learn that God has made known “the end from the beginning.” Through Scripture, we understand that things aren’t spiraling downward but are actually looking up.
