We live in economic times in which desperation has often replaced hope.
The very word hope has lost meaning, until hope has become mere wishful thinking. But God's hope is so much different. His
hope is not the pie-in-the-sky variety, though even wishful thinking can often send us searching for our real hope in Jesus.
THE SECRET OF HOPE restores depth to the word HOPE and, through poetry,
verse and Scripture, brings the reader back to a place of faith and the hope that tomorrow can be better because tomorrow,
as today, is in God's hands.
THE SECRET OF HOPE inspires as it challenges the reader to reach for
hope in Christ.
WALLS I MAKE
(c) 2009 Carolyn R Scheidies
What I think of as walls Often turn out to be My stubborn
pride, An unwillingness to listen--at all, Refusal to hear, Refusal to risk, Out of fear, A determination
to dig in Accepting only My will, not His direction, My way, not His correction. Only as I lay myself down, bow... And
lift Him up Do things shift. Walls become doors. His plans within Become my map, my core, My way to healing,
wholeness and hope, In Him.
Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice,
and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. --Revelation 3:20 KJV

WHEN IT HURTS!
Easy on the Eyes
Encouragement for those who are hurting over death, betrayal or pain. A gift book for those who are
hurting in some deep way and need to know God cares.
Let me count the ways. In this collection
of articles and verse from such greats as Shakespeare, Browning and Byron as well as the author, the reader will feel the
stirring of romance and the depth of love.
Read how to have a great courtship or that
“perfect” marriage, renew your heart with Through Time, The Embrace and more in sections such as “I Love
You When Our Love is New”; I Love You When We Say, ‘I Do.’”; and “I Love You Always & Forever.”
Most of all, be drawn to the foundation
of love, the one who always loves unconditionally and gives our relationships and marriages security—Jesus Christ.
A great gift for Valentine’s Day,
for shower or wedding gifts or for a “just because” gift of love. The book may serve as good way to open up dialogue
with that love-struck teen who doesn’t yet understand what love is all about.
Through stories--including a true one about one very feisty cat, verse,
Christmas traditions around the world, a kid-friendly version of the Christmas story and more, HEART
OF CHRISTMAS draws the reader into the true meaning of Christmas.
HEART OF CHRISTMAS also includes memory pages
to record your Christmas memories and make this book a family keepsake.
