Living With Mt Vesuvius
$21.86
A daughter’s journey with a mentally ill mother and the experiences God gave her to endure The author weaves into our hearts tales of her childhood, adolescence, and adult years spent with a mother who battled the demons of mental illness and depression. The mother ached for an alcoholic husband who abandoned her with two small children, struggled every day to support her family, and unleashed her anger on her children. She was the author’s Mt. Vesuvius, a volatile, unpredictable Italian volcano that erupted in rage and bitterness. As the author grew older, she gained a unique appreciation for the people and experiences placed by God in her path to help her grow, survive, and even bloom despite the volcanic ashes that nearly buried her. This is a story of courage, spirit, fight, and survival. The author shares this deeply personal journey to inspire readers to give thought to the adversities dealt to them, to learn life’s lessons, and then to move forward with courage, dignity, and unabashed hope.

Women Of The Bible Speak
$26.99The women of the Bible lived timeless stories–by examining them, we can understand what it means to be a woman of faith.
People unfamiliar with Scripture often assume that women play a small, secondary role in the Bible. But in fact, they were central figures in numerous Biblical tales. It was Queen Esther’s bravery at a vital point in history which saved her entire people. The Bible contains warriors like Jael, judges like Deborah, and prophets like Miriam. The first person to witness Jesus’ resurrection was Mary Magdalene, who promptly became the first Christian evangelist, eager to share the news which would change the world forever.
In The Women of the Bible Speak, Fox News Channel’s Shannon Bream opens up the lives of sixteen of these Biblical women, arranging them into pairs and contrasting their journeys. In pairing their stories, Shannon helps us reflect not only on the meaning of each individual’s life, but on how they relate to each other and to us.
From the shepherdesses of ancient Israel who helped raise the future leaders of the people of God, to the courageous early Christians, the narrative of the Bible offers us many vivid and fascinating female characters. In their lives we can see common struggles to resist bitterness, despair, and pride, and to instead find their true selves in faith, hope, and love. In studying these heroes of the faith, we can find wisdom and warnings for how to better navigate our own faith journeys.
The Women of the Bible Speak outlines the lessons we can take from the valor of Esther, the hope of Hannah, the audacity of Rahab, and the faith of Mary. In broadening each woman’s individual story, Shannon offers us a deeper understanding of each, and wisdom and insights that can transform our own lives today.
