Confused about the 'new morality, ' people find it impossible to make ethical and honorable conclusions of what is right. Misled by the wrong images, values, and definitions of 'worth, ' some are being hopelessly drawn into the cultures embrace. And, listening to the gathering opinion of male 'leadership, ' we are losing mentors for our youth, putting society at risk. "A Legacy of Faith" takes a passionate look at these misconceptions, referring to them as lies. It tackles the tough issues and through many stories leads the reader to 're-discover' spiritual focus, personal value, integrity, and the desire to pass that along to others.

In four different sections-heart, soul, mind, and strength-Hathaway, through vibrant stories and relevant advice, delves into the pangs and wrinkles of life that trouble Christians most-rage, distress, anxiety, et al.-and how to overcome through the power of love.

So if too many sad goodbyes have bruised your heart, or if too many loveless acts have come your way, take a fresh look at love. Take a look at 'A Love Driven Life.' The Love-Driven Life: Cody, Me, and God sorts through the sorrows and fears of life and provides applicable advice, discussion, and review questions-perfect for group studies and small groups.

Then, using Scripture, he applies the same principles to faithful obedience to Christ. Use this book as a devotional guide or as curriculum in a small group or Sunday school class.

By applying biblical passages to daily life, The God Whisperer challenges animal lovers to walk with God in a new level of obedience. In The God Whisperer, Fred Bittner brings us to the dog world—a simple, unpretentious world of obedience, relationship, and dependence. In three sections, Bittner covers most of the major struggles folks have in their connections with God, from God as 'Pack Leader,' to His unswerving participation in our lives that encourages us to have intimacy, trust, and patience. Bittner not only comes at this work from the perspective of a dog lover but an obvious God lover. —Rick Hathaway, author A Love Driven Life/A Legacy of Faith
