  Additional Info
  Starred Review. New York Times columnist Kristof and his wife, WuDunn, a former Times reporter, make a brilliantly argued case for investing in the health and autonomy of women worldwide. More girls have been killed in the last fifty years, precisely because they were girls, than men were killed in all the wars of the twentieth century, they write, detailing the rampant gendercide in the developing world, particularly in India and Pakistan. Far from merely making moral appeals, the authors posit that it is impossible for countries to climb out of poverty if only a fraction of women (9% in Pakistan, for example) participate in the labor force. China’s meteoric rise was due to women’s economic empowerment: 80% of the factory workers in the Guangdong province are female; six of the 10 richest self-made women in the world are Chinese. The authors reveal local women to be the most effective change agents: The best role for Americans… isn’t holding the microphone at the front of the rally but writing the checks, an assertion they contradict in their unnecessary profiles of American volunteers finding compensations for the lack of shopping malls and Netflix movies in making a difference abroad.

  i The Root Of Sin Exposed

  $15.99

  Since the Garden of Eden sin has ravaged people’s lives, leaving behind a plethora of troubling problems such as anxieties, fears, insecurities, confusion, unbelief, bitterness, sexual hang-ups, and even addictions. Most people look for answers in all the wrong places. They ought to look within. They ought to look at i. i is the “self-life.” i is the core of the fallen human nature. i is the realm where sin grows and flourishes. i: the root of sin exposed unravels the mystery of the corrupted human nature, and convincingly proves that all of man’s struggles with sin can be traced to the pride-driven “self-life” that emerges from it. Rather than relying on trendy quick-fixes, this book digs deeply into the treasures of Scripture to provide struggling believers everything they need to deal with their problems at the root level: the inescapable, ever-present i.

  Foundations : 12 Biblical Truths To Shape A Family

  $22.99

  Families are shaped one day at a time through the Word of God

  You want your children to become Christ followers, obedient to His commands, and fruitful in their faith, but where do you begin? Though there isn’t a formula or prescription for raising godly kids, the things you desire for your family begin with heeding God’s instructions to remember and declare His faithful works to the next generation.

  Bestselling author and artist Ruth Chou Simons, along with her husband, Troy, are gratefully raising six boys on a firm foundation of God’s truth by preaching truth to themselves and their family daily. In this book, they invite you to join them in the holy work of training children to know and love God for a lifetime.

  Foundations will help you direct your family one day at a time, as you explore twelve key truths that will help connect your children’s hearts to the heart of God. A simple, chapter-a-day format offers daily Scripture, thoughts, mediations, and discussions designed to equip you to guide your children with godly instruction.

  Parents don’t just teach God’s truths because their children need to hear them, but because we need to hear them too. As you instruct your children, your own heart will also be shaped and formed by the truths of God’s Word–the only thing that can change someone from the inside out.
