Their struggles and temptations are the same trials faced by all believers at all ages.

God is the treasure of our lives. He is part of everything we do, think, act, and say-literally, he is a part of us. This precious heirloom of Christ himself must be passed on to future generations. But how? Treasuring God in Our Traditions presents the importance of passing along Christ-centered traditions and a Bible-saturated legacy in Christ to future generations. Noël Piper helps her readers recognize how the "everyday" routines of life and the "especially" celebrations of holidays and dates can be practically passed down to future generations. When parents and grandparents seek to pass along the treasure of God to their children and grandchildren, they will develop and deepen their love for him. When family traditions are rooted in the Bible, the next generations will see that the greatest treasure that anyone can have is the treasure of God.

An Encouragement for the Heart SEE WHAT HAPPENS WHEN GOD CALLS YOUR NAME You dream of being used by God but think your life has been too rough, you have been through too much, or done too much for yourself. If you want to find out if God could use you, join with Lorene Kimura to see how he used even the most unsuspecting women. The secret is not in the knowledge you have but being ready every day for the special time for when God calls your name. Describing herself as the chosen child, Lorene never comprehended the entire meaning of that until much later in life, when God called her and she was ready to listen. Come on a journey, as you discover a fresh approach to a life for God, conquering the attitudes that would hold you back. God doesnt look at your mistakes, lifestyle, or commitments, but by your willingness to say, Here I am, God. Use me. Jam-packed with storytelling and Bible teaching, One Ordinary Woman, One Extraordinary God will open your eyes to the many ways God can use you where you are, if only you will let him, illustrating the similarities of biblical and contemporary women. God has made us what we are. In Christ Jesus, God made us to do good works, which God planned in advance for us to live our lives doing. (Ephesians 2:10, NCV)
