White, Jerry E. Friends & friendship : the secrets of drawing closer [158.25 WHI]
“God has placed within you a need for intimate companionship. When this need is unfulfilled, you’re lonely. However, because of Christ’s love you can deal with loneliness, the authors say. Here is help on how to make friends, how to keep the ones you have, and when you’re justified in backing off from making new friends. The authors say, “No one can have a meaningful existence without love and friendship. They are the substance of our emotional life.” God knows your needs — He wants to give you close friends. In Friends and Friendship let Him show you His biblical cure for loneliness.”
DeRosa, Tom. Evidence for Creation [231.765 DER]
“Popular science teacher Tom DeRosa presents evidence from astronomy, geology, biology, and history to show why Darwin’s theory is at odds not just with Genesis, but with the facts of science itself. Discover why: the fossil record shows no evidence of evolution; physical laws support creation, not evolution; the “irreducible complexity” of the simple cell rules out the evolution theory; grim social consequences follow when political leaders embrace evolution. The facts show evolution to be an idea in disarray. So be prepared for challenging, intelligent answers.”
Sarfati, Jonathan. By design : evidence for nature’s intelligent designer – the God of the Bible [231.765 SAR]
“Today, the ID (“intelligent design”) movement is capturing headlines (and igniting controversy) around the world. But in the process, many are coming to think that a credible challenge to the dominant Darwinian naturalism of our time means backing away from a clear stand for the truth of the Bible. Now creationist heavyweight Jonathan Sarfati challenges this mindset head on.”
Schuller, Robert H.

Happiness is a set of attitudes. You can discover them, learn them and live them. This book is about the life-transforming power of happy attitudes. Choose to BE-HAPPY – today!”

Hudson, Kathi. Raising kids God’s way : a Biblical guide for Christian parents [248.845 HUD]

Applying biblical principles, parents can guide their children into becoming citizens of great character.”
Wieland, Carl. Beyond the shadows : making sense of personal tragedy [248.86 WIE]
“When bad things happen to believers in a good God, are there answers, or do we have to write it all off as some sort of cosmic mystery? You may be one of many – or know someone – affected by difficult, even disastrous circumstances. In such things, could having answers and understanding the Bible’s “big picture” really make a practical difference? Could it help one to cope at a time when the joy of living is shattered? Carl’s personal testimony in this work is a resounding ‘yes’ to both of these. It’s been a profound help to many, particularly those who were asking the agonising questions of “Why?” and “Why me, Lord?” Dr Wieland’s fascinating insights bring a refreshing and soundly biblical slant to this intensely personal topic.”

Brown, Michael L. How saved are we? Has the Church fallen asleep in the enemy’s lap? [269 BRO]
“For years we have preached a defective message – and now we have a defective Church. This unsettling book challenges us to ask ourselves what kind of born-again experience we have had if it calls for almost no personal sacrifice, produces virtually no separation from the world, and breeds practically no hatred of sin. Read this book and find out just how saved we are. It is time for a rude awakening!”
