In the spiritual life, we need a central idea: something so basic and comprehensive that it encompasses everything else. According to Carmelite Father Wilfrid Stinissen, surrender to God, abandonment to the One who loves us completely, is that central reality. The life of Jesus shows us the centrality of abandonment, for it is truly the beginning and the end of his mission on earth. In this simple but profound book, Father Stinissen distinguishes three degrees or stages in abandonment. The first stage consists of accepting and assenting to God's will as it manifests itself in all circumstances of life. The second is actively doing God's will at every moment of one's life. In the third stage, abandonment to God is so complete that one has become a tool in God's hands. At this stage it is no longer I who do God's will, but God who accomplishes his will through me.

In October 1810 a twenty-year-old girl in the quiet New England town of Bradford wrote the following words in her journal: 'If nothing in providence appears to prevent, I must spend my days in a heathen land. I am a creature of God, and he has un undoubted right to do with me, as seems good in his sight...He has my heart in his hands, and when I am called to face danger, to pass through scenes of terror and distress, he can inspire me with fortitude, and enable me to trust in him. Jesus is faithful; his promises are precious. Were it not for these considerations, I should sink down with despair. Ann Hasseltine had received a proposal of marriage from Adoniram Judson, who was shortly to leave for Asia as one of America's first overseas missionaries. And thus commenced one of the great dramas of church history--a saga of love, courage, suffering and perseverance.

Holcy candidly tells of the horrific events that traumatized her... Her experience of abuse between her parents: The house was swimming with pools of blood. I never in my life had seen so much blood, but I guess I shouldn't have, I was only four years old. The struggles of becoming a mother: I am only eleven years old, I thought. What in the world will I do with a baby? And The devastation of her father's suicide: His death haunted me...In my mind I could hear him say, 'It's better off this way kids.' These are just a few of the many tragedies which increasingly overwhelmed Holcy with hurt, anger, bitterness, and despair. While these painful memories clamored for control of her future, she discovered a faith, hope, and forgiveness more powerful than she'd ever believed possible. Her story will bring tears to your eyes, but hope to your heart, serving as a reminder that we are all in His Hands.

In His Hands draws from the wellspring of the Bibles rich traditions and brings to life, in a collection of short stories, key figures whose lives God touched with His grace. The stories begin with Adam, the father of all people, and end with Mary, the mother of the Lord of all people. In between, stories reveal the depths of the hearts of the Old Testaments patriarchs and matriarchs and the New Testaments disciples of Jesus and participants in His Passion. In these short stories, A.J. Cork finds in biblical characters, who may seem unapproachable or almost immovably iconic, like figures carved in a great frieze, the little touches of the ordinary that help readers to see in them the common humanity shared across the millennia. Some of the stories begin with brief introductory passages that set the scenes. Others leap right into the lives of the characters, animating their stories with vivid descriptions, revealing dialogue, and finely sketched details of locales and events. Whether you are familiar with the Bibles characters from reading the Scriptures or you have always wondered about Noah and Abraham, Moses and Rahab, Mary and Peter, and Nicodemus and Barabbas, In His Hands will offer you entertainment and education. This collection will help you to encounter the figures whose lives grace the pages of the Bible and whose memories touch the hearts of everyone who hears how God has worked in and through them to show His glory.

After stunning the sports arena with his incredible running ability, the entire world is even more shocked when Paul escapes from a horrendous car explosion unharmed. The adoration and speculation that follow leave Paul with a swarm of admirers, and soon after, he begins a worldwide campaign of evangelistic revivals. He has remarkable success in his efforts, while at the same time the man who attempted his assassination collaborates with a band of conspirators in an elaborate plot to end the life of Paul, whom Paul sees as the epitome of evil. The lives of the two men repeatedly clash as one effort after another to kill Paul repeatedly fails, and Paul's ministry becomes increasingly more powerful. Those closest to Paul too are dramatically affected during that struggle, but it is only after each one of them submits to the power of God and they place themselves completely in his hands that their lives are forever changed.
