Gleaning principles from the life of Ruth, a sister in the Bible who got
her man, Michelle shares how to get the love you want. She warmly encourages
those who are stuck in the dead-end dating scene, as well as those on an

elusive (or extinct) as he may seem.”
Anderson, Neil T. Restored : experience life with Jesus. [248.4 AND]
“Escape
your bondage and discover freedom from depression, anxiety, inner conflict,
addictive behaviour, fear and anger, tormenting
thoughts, negative habits, low self-worth.”
Hybels,
Bill. Descending into Greatness. [248.4 HYB]
“Gives
helpful insight into the hardest question of all : Do
Christians place God’s desires first or their own? In a society where “upward mobility” is the
highest goal, the book defines putting God’s kingdom first as “downward
mobility”. Readers will see how this
ends in true meaning and joy. Includes powerful teaching on the process of descending as well as
journalistic stories of real-life people who are moving down. Explore some of these topics
: an examination of how Jesus managed power; the “willful” decisions necessary
to move down; the uplifting nature of true humility; abundant life through
dying to self; the ambush of joy. Illustrates with stories of people taking steps to move down.”
Thomas,
Juliet. Building a Marriage God’s Way.
[248.8435 THO]
“A window into some of the issues which couples struggle with.
Talks about marriage covenant; conflicts in marriage;
barrenness; the ebb and flow of life; the hurts and healings in marriage.
Offers solution to understand one another in the deepest and
most intimate way. Helps couples discover the wonder of marriage union.”
Tye, Kim-Khiat.
Second Dawn :
a journey of faith. [248.86 TYE]
“When Kevin
was struck down by the rarest of cancers at age 28, just five months before his
wedding, much hand-wringing and wailing was expressed. Instead, Kevin dug deep
into his Christian faith and said “I’m at peace with myself”. This was his constant refrain right up until
his passing 13 months later. His clarity
regarding his eternal destiny confounded his friends and family. Despite the acute pain and suffering during
his illness, Kevin prayed selflessly for his friends who had strayed, used his
illness to great purpose to turn lives around, and infused those who are left
behind with renewed hope that there is life beyond the grave. When he could ask, “Death, where is thy
sting?”, this story of a young man’s amazing journey of faith bears sharing … A
moving account told by Kevin’s father, Kim-Khiat Tye.”

[291.1 SHE]
