Woman Overboard
How Passion Saved My Life
Jo Kadlecek
Do you long for more passion in your life? How do you define passion?
Many people associate passion with intense romance, adventure, creativity, vocation, or calling. If you ask a pastor or priest to define passion, he or she would likely link the word to the passion of Christ, to the events of Holy Week.
The definition of passion has evolved over the years. Originally the word came from the Latin passio, which means "to suffer."

Belonging/Believing/Living/Growing
John O. Gooch
Discover what it truly means to be an involved member of your church and grow in your faith. Unlike many books on church membership, Being a Christian in the Wesleyan Tradition does not spend a lot of time on bylaws or matters of organization.

Christians belong to a community of faith, John Gooch stresses. Being a Christian in the Wesleyan...
Not Alone
Encouragement for Caregivers
Nell E. Noonan
Caregivers have a front-row seat to suffering. Helping someone (most likely a close loved one) through disease, pain, frailty, and death exacts a tremendous toll.
In the midst of caregiving, we often feel inadequate, fatigued, and overwhelmed with despair. The thought of reaching out for help does not occur to many caregivers, but we cannot go it alone-we need to find ways to connect with others. Self-care is also critical to our mental and physical health.
Nell Noonan offers 150 honest and ...

Entering the Psalms, Participant's Workbook
The Upper Room
Entering the Psalms Leader's Guide is also available.
A 6-week study opens the door to experience the Psalms in a new way!
"O taste and see that the Lord is good."
— Psalm 34:8
This is a different Bible study from most. Entering the Psalms invites you to consider how a collection of poetic praises and laments dating from 1400 BC to 500 BC relate to your own life and experiences. Finding that connection is at the heart of formational reading, and that's the thread of the "Meeting God in Scrip...
