Caregiver, are you overwhelmed? Do you secretly have bouts of despair, bitterness, and even hopelessness? As a caregiver, you run the risk of disappearing. Your time goes overwhelmingly to the needs of your loved one. Your relationships get strained, and your challenges and anxieties are difficult to articulate. It's easier to just keep your head down and do what must be done. What's more, you probably didn't sign up for this role or train for it. And yet here you are, reliving the trauma that got you here, providing support you didn't know you had in you to give, struggling with fatigue, making critical, life-altering decisions, and yearning for the community you had that has changed or disappeared. Rich in stories and unflinchingly pragmatic, We're Stronger than We Look is an invitation to look up and remember the life you've been given, the image of God that you bear, and the assurance that God loves you as much as you love the person entrusted to your care. This message is delivered by a caregiver who, while writing this helpful book, has cared for her paraplegic husband, who was suddenly disabled in a bicycling accident.
In an era where church attendance has reached an all-time low, recent polling has shown that Americans are becoming less formally religious and more promiscuous in their religious commitments. Within both mainline and evangelical Christianity in America, it is common to hear of secularizing pressures and increasing competition from nonreligious sources. Yet there is a kind of religious institution that has enjoyed great popularity over the past thirty years: the evangelical megachurch. Evangelical megachurches not only continue to grow in number, but also in cultural, political, and economic influence. To appreciate their appeal is to understand not only how they are innovating, but more cru...

“Captured Heart is a story of tragedy, loss, and homelessness, but also something more—it’s a parable of healing, hope, and redemption, illustrating the truth that we are all homeless in spirit until we meet the one who brings us home. Daneen Padilla conveys a heart for the hurting in this touching account, as well as a heart for the Father who notices every falling sparrow.” —Bill Shepson, author and editor Captured Heart illustrates the heart of God toward every person, regardless of background and history. It conveys the value that He places on each person, by demonstrating His desire for a personal relationship, and to reveal the individual’s true identity. I invite you to join Amy as she discovers that identity and value are not determined by other people, but by the One who made her. Rejected and disowned as a child, and later shunned by society, Amy learned to survive. Experience taught her that she is alone and no one cares. One evening, exceptionally hungry and cold, Amy accepted the invitation to food and shelter at the rescue mission. That decision not only saved her life, but it led to the discovery of her true identity.
