Say It. Tell It. Live It.


Book Description

We can do all things through Christ who strengthens us. On our daily walks, we must be doers of the Word, not just listeners. We become better at living when we show everyone around us who God is by saying it, telling it, and living it. In a weekly devotional, Bishop J. Drew Sheard offers Christians a wise, comforting, and inspiring spiritual companion that provides encouraging messages, biblical inspiration, and uplifting stories to remind Christians that life is a journey, not a destination. Within each reflection, Bishop Sheard shares nuggets of wisdom that lead believers down an introspective path within to rehearse daily obedience to God, avoid being caught up in a fleeting moment, live life lovingly unselfishly, treasure their destiny in the Kingdom of God, remember that salvation is the gift of God, and much more. Say It. Tell It. Live It. is a weekly devotional that serves as both a reminder of God’s Word and as a tool for resolving life’s challenges in a way that pleases Him. “All who are blessed to engage in this profound work will find a companion to expanding knowledge of the Word of God. This book is a must-read for all people of faith.” — Dr. W. Franklyn Richardson, Chairman, The Conference of National Black Churches

Ciulirnerunak Yuuyaqunak/Do Not Live Without an Elder


Book Description

In October of 2010, six men who were serving on the board of the Calista Elders Council (CEC) gathered in Anchorage with CEC staff to spend three days speaking about the subsistence way of life. The men shared stories of their early years growing up on the land and harvesting through the seasons, and the dangers they encountered there. The gathering was striking for its regional breadth, as elders came from the Bering Sea coast as well as the Yukon and Kuskokwim rivers. And while their accounts had some commonalities, they also served to demonstrate the wide range of different approaches to subsistence in different regions. This book gathers the men’s stories for the current generation and those to come. Taken together, they become more than simply oral histories—rather, they testify to the importance of transmitting memories and culture and of preserving knowledge of vanishing ways of life.
