Every now and then a book comes along that just turns our world upside down. In a good way.<\/p>\n

They’re the kinds of books that challenge and inspire us to look beyond our comfortable four walls.<\/p>\n

Recently we started reading He Walks Among Us<\/a><\/b>. Oh my goodness!  If you read The Hole in our Gospel<\/a> (still one of our favorite books!) and appreciate the heart that Richard Stearns (President of World Vision) has for God’s people, you will absolutely LOVE this book.<\/p>\n

It’s a wonderful little hardcover book that you can even read aloud with some of your older children and the photos throughout the book are breathtaking. <\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

This book has been such an beautiful reminder to our family this Christmas that it’s NOT about us<\/u>!<\/p>\n

We’re called to give when we feel like we’re running on empty…<\/p>\n

…care when we feel like we have nothing to offer.<\/p>\n

…love when we don’t feel like it.<\/p>\n

…and GO when He calls our name.<\/p>\n

“We will tell the next generation the praiseworthy deeds of the Lord, his power, and the wonders he has done.”<\/i><\/span><\/span>   ~~ Psalm 78:4 <\/b><\/p>\n

I would love to bless FIVE readers with a copy of He Walks Among Us<\/i>.  Leave any comment on this post and I will draw winners at the end of this week.<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Also, please prayerfully consider giving a gift that lasts this Christmas<\/a><\/b>.  I am so grateful to all of you who have sown such precious seed this week.  Thank you for being a part of an unfolding miracle–I will share more soon.<\/p>\n

Blessings to you all today.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
