Jeremy's Garden

Valerie and Charity Miller / T.G.S. International

Jeremy helped place pea seeds in the next row. Suddenly he had an idea. "Oh, Mom, may I have some seeds for my own? May I plant a little garden and take care of it myself?"

"That's a good idea," Mom said. "You will need to work hard. You may have some seeds if you're willing to take good care of your own garden."

"I'll be a hard worker," Jeremy promised. "I'll pull the weeds and keep the ground hoed."

Excellent pencil drawings throughout the book make it appealing to young eyes.

Valerie and Charity Miller are sisters living in rural Honesdale, Pennsylvania. Their love of gardening and a desire to get children interested in gardening inspired them to write and illustrate Jeremy's Garden. More info...

A Heart for God

A Biblical Guide to Experiencing True Heart Transformation

John Coblentz / Ridgeway Publishing

The heart is a marvelous thing. It is created by God, for God. It has longings and desires and out of those, man responds. Our heart was designed to worship God.

However, sin damages our hearts, deadens our conscience, darkens our understanding and mind and warps our desires. It enslaves the will, clouds our judgement and alienates us from God.

Then there is cleansing. Through repentance, confession, acquaintance and fellowship with God, the heart is changed and recreated into the likeness of Him who loved and died for us. Now we have a new and clean heart with new desires and longings. One that is changed into the same image from glory to glory even as by the Spirit of the Lord. Through having a love for Truth and experiencing God's love in our hearts we can have A Heart for God.

This book is written for those who love light and are willing to expose their hearts to God and man. It is written on a scriptural basis with clear outlines with an easy reading style. The reader will be challenged, inspired, instructed, and changed into a vessel that is fit to bring glory and honor to Christ's kingdom. More info...
