  Discover how all trees can mirror us, teach us and heal us.
   
  As author Alice Peck reflected on the maple tree in her backyard, she began to notice and then study its intricacies and changes. This became her regular meditation and inspiration. In Tree Wisdom, Alice shares what she has learnt from that maple tree, and from the trees all around us. Every tree tells a complete and ongoing story – from its powerful taproots to the birds that alight on its fragile high branches. Like us, trees feel and react to their environment, and communicate with us in subtle but distinct ways. They evolve along a much more protracted timetable than humans. Alice explores trees from four perspectives: their roots – wisdom and understanding; their branches – symbols and rituals; their leaves – healing and science; and their seeds – transformation and spirituality. All of these elements show us how, although they live outside us, trees offer a path to our inner selves. Filled with insights from botany to poetry, ecology to mythology and herbalism to sacraments, Tree Wisdom explores the ways these grounded yet soaring entities can steady and move us, teach and transform us, inspire and comfort us.

  Do You Pray?

  J. C. Ryle

  Although arguably one of the simplest aspects of Christianity, prayer is also perhaps the most neglected, overlooked, and malnourished part of the average Christian’s day and life.  While praying quickly before food and with a congregation on Sunday and for an ailing relative may be common enough, J. C. Ryle truly, and with palpable heartfelt and genuine care, pushes those of faith to see their lack of serious prayer for the spiritual health crisis that it is.  Prayer is the breath of Christianity, he argues, and must be tended to in all seriousness and with the direness of one who knows the horrors of a life deprived of oxygen.  Both convicting and wildly encouraging, this little tract brings to light the possibilities of hope and healing already promised to those who pray.This series, published by ONE audiobooks, seeks to produce Classic Christian titles read by well known and loved audiobook narrators.  ONE takes great care to cast these titles with readers who will provide an unmatched listening experience for these important works.Simon Bubb brings his passion to every performance and is considered to be one of the top audiobook narrators in the industry.

  This Dream Is Not for You -...

  Christian speaker and Bible teacher Wade Joye pushes back against the dominant self-help teaching of the day—to follow your dreams—and encourages us to let go and surrender our lives to God in order to truly live. “Follow your dreams” is the self-help message of our day. In our schools and universities, media, and culture, and even in church, we are taught to dream big, work hard, and find true happiness in living our dreams. And so we spend our lives chasing.  But as we chase our dreams, we can be met with exhaustion, anxiety, and disappointment. Our circumstances may put our dreams in jeopardy, or even deny them—and we’re heartbroken. Or we achieve them and just want more.  Wade Joye offers here a different way. Release your grip on your dreams and trust God with your whole life.  Joye shows that by letting go we are freed from the pressure to secure some ideal, unattainable life, and instead become open to God and his plans. Living a life of daily surrender to God’s purpose we begin to see glimpses of God in our present circumstance, as he shows us that he, more than anyone, can be trusted. With deep wisdom, frank teaching, and a pastor’s heart, Wade guides readers step-by-step to the place of letting go, the place where we find real life.

  Sermons in Zephaniah Haggai and...

  We live in an age of practical atheism where men pay lip service to God and then do as they please. Our time is marked by a failure to meet our responsibility while believing that nothing will happen—that God will not judge His church as He’s judged His people throughout history. 
  As we know, judgment begins at the house of God because the church bears the greater burden of guilt for possessing the greater privileges of God’s covenant, grace, salvation, and courage. We must take our lesson from Jerusalem of old to whom God sent prophets like Zephaniah, Haggai, and Zechariah to remind them of their covenant responsibility to provide the standard and word to the wicked nations around them. 
  In this volume, R. J. Rushdoony brings out the two-edged sword of God’s law-word through these three minor prophets to both warn and encourage us to greater faithfulness and ministry. Like the faithful in ancient Jerusalem, we can feel small, marginalized, and peripheral to history, but Rushdoony reminds us that our security and effectiveness are determined by the God who controls history and not the evil machinations of men. In this book is the message of hope that we desperately need right now.

  Encouragement - The Supportive...

  Words have an undeniable power to shape our reality, influence our thoughts, and impact our emotional well-being. Every word we speak carries with it the potential to either lift someone up or bring them down. Whether we realize it or not, our words have the ability to build bridges, create connections, and offer encouragement. In the context of affirmation, words are tools of empowerment. When used intentionally and thoughtfully, they can become a source of strength, especially for those who are struggling. 
  The impact of affirmations extends far beyond simple compliments or casual praise. Words of affirmation have the capacity to change the way people see themselves, boosting their confidence and reinforcing their sense of worth. For many individuals, the difference between success and failure can often be traced back to the encouragement they receive from others. A kind word can motivate someone to keep going, to try again, or to believe in their abilities when they feel overwhelmed or defeated. 
  Research has shown that positive reinforcement—such as words of encouragement—activates the brain's reward system, releasing feel-good chemicals like dopamine and serotonin. This not only creates a sense of joy but also strengthens an individual’s belief in their own potential. In turn, this builds resilience and helps individuals navigate life's challenges with greater ease.
