Nothing Can Make Them Stumble is a remarkable story of intrigue, survival and faith. It has its roots in the Black Forest in Germany, moves to the Middle East and continues in the Barossa Valley in Australia. In a time of social, economic and spiritual turmoil, a small group of people left their homeland of Germany to pioneer a new Christian community in Palestine. They did not stumble when faced with the hardship of the pioneering years, the set back of two world wars and their expulsion from Palestine. In the Barossa Valley they fashioned a new life in peace, security and economic stability.

At the height of the Art Nouveau movement and into the early days of Art Deco, Christian Stoll Studios was a leading and prolific source of graphic design. The Leipzig-based firm, which produced beautiful stock books for all forms of design applications, was active chiefly from 1900 to the beginning of World War I and renowned for their staff of creative artists. Three of Stoll's designers are responsible for the majority of the works in this volume: Richard Kühnel, Hugo Sachs, and Josef Pilters. Their illustrations appear here in more than 90 breathtaking plates that range from single- to full-color. Collected from rare originals of the studio's stock portfolios, these designs have been unavailable for over a century. The highly stylized images — consisting chiefly of flowers, grapes, wreaths, and other botanical motifs — are rendered in many different shapes and sizes. Their splendid variety and versatility form an abundant source of reference and inspiration for graphic and textile designers, artists, art students, and anyone seeking striking Art Nouveau ornaments.

For the first time they seriously wonder, can we still be "the land of the free"? In nineteen short chapters, written in clear, readable English, Dr. Armstrong explains what freedom really is and what Christian faith can do to preserve it. His book is timely, but not written for these times only. It takes the past and the present seriously. It tells stories. It reflects and analyzes. But best of all it holds out hope for real freedom in a world that will not always be free from trouble but will no longer be held captive ...
After losing her mother and her youngest daughter within three months of each other, author Sue Boggler began using the lessons she had learned as a Christian nurse, wife, and mother to help her through this difficult and painful time in her life. She found herself asking such questions as Why me? Does God still love me? How can I survive this? In the midst of her sorrow, she learned that these questions are common among those who grieve or are facing troubles; more than that, how we answer them has a great impact on our growth and development as human beings. Personal growth is challenging, especially by todays standards. In Four Legs of the Stool, Sue shares the lessons she learned and dem...
