Ian & Larissa – You may have heard of Ian and Larissa. This video provides an update on their unique situation and tells that they’ll soon have a book out titled Eight Twenty Eight.

Encouraging Others Through Loss – This is a powerful story following a devastating loss. “A lot of people have said our faith is strong. But God’s grace is strong. But really what’s getting us through it, His sustaining us. God’s giving us power, giving us calmness, peace…”

Show Them Jesus – This looks like a very helpful resource from New Growth Press. Westminster Books has it deeply discounted if you buy it in bulk to give away.
