MAKING PEACE WITH CHANGE
By Gina Brenna Butz
Change is hard. Really hard. Whether it’s something wonderful like a job promotion or devastating like a difficult health diagnosis, change brings stress. As followers of Jesus, we know He is ultimately in control and yet we are too familiar with feelings of apprehension and uncertainty when our circumstances change. Making Peace With Change shows us that we don’t have to resign ourselves to just coping with the change or merely trying to survive it. Instead, we can make peace with change.

Unstacking Your Grief Tower: For Adult Third Culture Kids
By Lauren Wells
When we tell people that we lived abroad during our developmental years, we’re often met with awe and envy. What they don’t see are the number of losses we experienced with each move, the amount of “goodbyes” we said, or the hardships that we endured. Each of these stack up like blocks on a tower, each block influencing how we deal with the next hardship we face. This hope-filled book offers you the invitation to uncover and process the blocks on your Grief Tower.
