WHAT'S NEW...

GROWING CHILDREN IN THE LIGHT OF ETERNITY _by_ CHARLOTTE HUSKEY _Growing Children in the Light of Eternity_ is full of outstanding philosophies for Christian parenting. It includes diverse concepts of parenting and recommendations for using the best one. One section is devoted to getting a child off to a good start in the first few years. It contains excellent instructions for training children to control their emotions while very young, which will help any child to enjoy a happier, more successful life. There are chapters on teaching the grade school age child to mature, listen to his conscience, and take responsibility for his actions and duties. Other chapters are directed to coaching teenagers into assuming adult accountability. In this section parents will find hope, courage, and instructions for heart bonding in those years that some parents find turbulent. This book will point parents to God's thoughts about parenting. It should help them to lead their children away from low, earthly things into the high fields of God's eternal values. Hopefully it will encourage parents to nurture their children's spirits as they nourish their bodies, because the child's spirit will live forever. From time to time, the author has written memos to parents. This book is a collection of those bits of wisdom God has given. It is written in hopes that it will inspire weary parents, and that it will answer a few of the many questions young mothers have. It is given with a prayer that it will bless families everywhere, and that godly parents will be able to more effectively influence their children to follow the Path to Heaven. More info... GOD, OUR CHILDREN, AND THE FACTS OF LIFE _by_ STEVE AND SANDRA EBERSOLE _published by_ CHRISTIAN LIGHT

PUBLICATIONS

As parents, we know we should teach our children about their God-given sexuality. Yet the thought of doing so often makes us self-conscious

and uncomfortable.

However, God created us male and female, and His design is perfect and wonderful. God knows we can teach our sons and daughters how to be pure. He placed children in our homes, and He gives us what we need to love and instruct them. We have the privilege and responsibility to teach them a Biblical view of their bodies. Discreetly written, _God, Our Children, and the Facts of Life_ offers an encouraging and practical perspective on sensitive issues for parents. As parents of fourteen children, Steve and Sandra Ebersole give guidance for teaching children from toddlers to teenagers and in between. Their caring counsel prepares parents for those important conversations with precious sons and daughters. More info...

LED BY HIS HAND

_by_ HAROLD R. TROYER _published by_ TGS INTERNATIONAL STORIES FROM MERLE BURKHOLDER'S FORTY YEARS IN MISSIONS _The world is so big,_ Merle thought, _but space is much, much bigger. God is in heaven, somewhere beyond all that space. He looks down on the world, and He can see me, a young boy here in the silo._ The thought was staggering. The great and mighty God who controlled the universe saw and cared about him. Merle could not refuse the call of such a great and loving God. _I don't know what you want to do with my life or where you want me to go,_ he prayed, _but I am willing to do whatever you ask._ Merle's call to missions came as a boy growing up on a small Pennsylvania farm. Later, his dream of establishing a business nearly

silenced that call.

But God's hand continued to lead Merle and his wife Edith. They ministered to souls in snowy northwestern Ontario and under the tropical sun in Haiti. God also led Merle to help begin and administer savings groups among the needy around the world, enabling them to also open their hands and give. These stories portray the real life of a missionary—a mixture of success, failure, and everyday living—told with a touch of humor. Be inspired, and consider God's call on your own life as you read.

WHAT THE BLIND MAN SAW _by_ VELINA SHOWALTER _published by_ TGS INTERNATIONAL THE STORY OF JOHNNIE WENGER > "I've been thinking," began Johnnie as he tied the knots to hold the > thread in place on the broom he was making.

>

> "I don't doubt that," interrupted Papa dryly. "I can't keep up with > your ideas. What am I to expect next?" John S. Wenger made his home in the fertile farmland of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, during the late 1800s and early 1900s. Born blind in one eye, he lost sight in the other at the age of twenty-two. It was a hard blow, but Johnnie was not one to give up. Blind Johnnie learned to make brooms and assemble farm equipment, especially binders. He liked new inventions and understood machinery. He was a big help to the farmers in his neighborhood. Blind Johnnie also helped with the Mennonite mission on Welsh Mountain. In his older years, he was delighted to learn to read the Bible with his own fingers. Determined, cheerful, and content with what God planned for his life—that was blind Johnnie Wenger.

DESTINY BY CHOICE

_by_ LILY A. BEAR _published by_ TGS INTERNATIONAL Defining moments—we all face them. Times of testing. Personal crises. The crossroads of life. _Destiny by Choice_ is a collection of true stories. Mennonite author Lily Bear draws from a lifetime of writing experience to tell about people at the crossroads. Though each journey is different, the characters have one thing in common: God is asking them to choose the right path. * TEMPERED THROUGH TRIALS—Jacob, a peace-loving follower of Christ living in Alberta, Canada, has every reason to wonder what will happen to him when he faces the draft for World War II. In time, his trials begin to make more sense. * GOD, WHERE ARE YOU?—Paul and Angela leave all to serve Jesus in remote Papua New Guinea. The mission God has for them is more trying than they ever imagined—and far more beautiful. * NO PROMISE OF TOMORROW—Galen, Kenneth, and Lamar: three men in their prime, three different outcomes. God asked them to consider their ways. How did they respond? These stories and others give a sober reminder that choices take people places—and eventually to one of two eternal destinies. Choose this day whom you will serve, and choose well. More info... BLIND JOHNNIE - "CONQUEROR SERIES" _by_ VELINA SHOWALTER _published by_ TGS INTERNATIONAL From the Conqueror Series .

BLUE HEN AND HER BABIES - "GREEN MEADOW SERIES" _by_ EVA ZIMMERMAN _published by_ TGS INTERNATIONAL Oh, Blue Hen was happy! How busy she was! She led her babies out to the green meadow to catch bugs.

They just scratched in the dirt like Blue Hen did. They did everything just like Blue Hen did. More info... BLACK CLOUDS OVER THE OHIOLAND (VOLUME 6) - "THE CONQUEST SERIES" _by_ JAMES G.

Black clouds of war again rise over the Christian Indian villages of the Ohioland. The Delaware capital of Coshocton is shaken by the great struggle of the nearby Moravian mission at Meadows of Light to keep the Delaware nation neutral. _Black Clouds_ reveals how promises, treaties, and justice mean nothing when war erases any sense of right and wrong. At first, both the Americans and the British promise the Indians safety if they stay out of the argument between a father (Britain) and his rebellious son (America). Instead, both sides coerce the Indians into the war. In _Black Clouds_, you will see the Moravian missionaries, David Zeisberger and John Heckewelder, toiling to keep the Delaware nation neutral. In addition, you will see how the towering presence of Isaac Glikkikan brought faith and calm at a time when the storm seemed about to unleash its fury. Furthermore, Isaac Glikkikan lays bare the root cause of the Revolutionary War. Was it taxation without representation? Oppressive government? Attacks by savage Indians? A desire for independence? Discover the real cause of the war in this historically accurate and provocative tale. More info... EXPLORING... THE EPISTLES OF PETER _by_ ISAAC D. MARTIN; DAVID L. MARTIN (EDITOR) _published by_ ROD AND

STAFF PUBLISHERS

From the "Exploring..." Bible Study Series . Peter began his second epistle with the words, "Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ." Peter learned early, especially after the Holy Spirit came upon the church, the value of being a servant. It was the last lesson Jesus endeavored to teach the disciples when He washed their feet. By the time Peter wrote his epistle, the problem of who would be the greatest seems to have disappeared. In Peter's epistles, the word _precious_ appears a number of times. Peter spoke of the precious trial of one's faith, the precious blood of Christ, a precious cornerstone, a precious faith, and exceeding great and precious promises. Most important, "Unto you there which believe he is precious" (1 Peter 2:7). Indeed, Christians find Jesus precious as they walk and work with Him. Hopefully, the comments on these epistles will increase your love for Jesus and for the truth set forth by an apostle who loved Jesus very much. Peter's many exhortations speak to us all, regardless of our

station in life.

"But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered awhile, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you" (1 Peter 5:10).

CHRISTIAN COURTSHIP AND MARRIAGE _by_ JOHN DALE YODER _published by_ ROD AND STAFF PUBLISHERS Most youth are keenly interested in courtship and marriage because God has planted in almost everyone the desire for companionship. These seeds are always good and right in themselves, for they fill a God-ordained role in courtship and marriage. But Satan also takes an evil interest in the seeds that God plants, and he likes nothing better than to warp your ideals with his seeds of selfishness, pride, self-will, and lust. If allowed to grow, these seeds will send a courtship into sin and woe. They produce marriages that can best be described as hell on earth. God's seeds bring good results. If you faithfully uproot all Satan's weeds and allow God's pure plants to grow in your heart, courtship becomes enjoyable, and marriage, bliss. This book points out Satan's evil seedlings and how to uproot them, or better yet, how to never let them germinate. It will also help you to till the soil of your heart so God's good seeds can grow in health and

vigor.

Will you allow your heart to be receptive to God's seeds? More info...

BUT PEACE DIDN'T COME WITH A CEASE-FIRE. HE FINALLY FOUND IT AT THE

FOOT OF A CROSS.

Tomás enjoyed a carefree childhood in the rough mountains of northern Nicaragua. As a boy he went to church with his mother and decided he wanted to follow God. But growing political unrest erupted into civil war. Despite having a conscience against killing, Tomás was forced to join the Contra rebels and was swept into a maelstrom of fear and battle, hunger and loneliness, and grief for fallen comrades. When it was over, Tomás was scarred by war. Drifting far from God, he failed to keep the promises he had made during moments of wartime terror. Tomás became an expert chain saw operator, but he also became enslaved to drink. His addiction nearly destroyed his home and wrecked

his life.

Then visitors arrived in Waslala, bringing the Gospel of peace. They learned to know Tomás and liked the excellent work he did when he was sober. Little by little, their words and prayers began to affect Tomás's cold heart. At the foot of the cross, he found forgiveness and true peace. _From Contra to Christ_ is Tomás's story. More

Laura had not expected teaching to be easy. But neither had she

reckoned on Calvin.

What Calvin did, he did with all his might. He worked furiously to complete his schoolwork. He played hard, and he played to win. He was the fastest runner in school, and when the children chose teams, Calvin was the first one chosen. And his side usually won. But none of the children exasperated Laura or tried her patience like Calvin. It seemed that she hardly spoke to him except to give orders or to reprimand him. Most of the children's faces were as open as a book. But not Calvin. Inside Calvin was a boy she didn't know. Laura knew Calvin needed a wise and loving teacher, one who could cope with his boundless energy and bring out the best in him. And Laura was not that teacher—or so she thought. More info...

He found opportunities to witness and make new friends. Prison also provided time to pray and reflect on God, life, and the human condition. This compilation of meditations was inspired and written while Timo was behind bars.

SURVIVING THE TECH TSUNAMI _by_ GARY MILLER _published by_ TGS INTERNATIONAL ELECTRICAL TECHNOLOGY IS NOT JUST A SPOT OF ROUGH WATER THE CHURCH MUST NAVIGATE; IT IS A VIRTUAL TSUNAMI.

In _War Chief Conquered_, the young Moravian missionary, John Heckewelder, prods Glikkikan into telling his life story. But the famous Indian chief is wary of the white men's corrupted treaties and requires Heckewelder to write his story exactly as he tells it.

When Glikkikan confronts the Christian Indians who refused to join in the warfare, he is confident that he can overcome them with his carefully prepared arguments. Instead, the Great Glikkikan finds himself speechless. Then he declares to his fellow warriors, "These Christians have the truth! Listen to them!" Precisely when Glikkikan is convinced he has found the path to truth and happiness, a difficult choice confronts him. Must he love his enemies to serve the Savior?

LORD, TEACH US TO PRAY _by_ NORMAN SCHROCK _published by_ ROD AND STAFF PUBLISHERS "I WILL LIFT UP MINE EYES UNTO THE HILLS, FROM WHENCE COMETH MY HELP"

(PSALM 121:1).

Prayer is the gateway to many blessings. It brings us to the throne of God, and shields us from the power of the tempter. Daily communing with God is essential to victory. Prayer is not a tool to put on the back shelf and use only in an emergency. The person who lives in the spirit of prayer will find it to be an avenue of reciprocal love. How can we have effectual, fervent prayers in the midst of the snares of a fast-paced twenty-first century society? A key thought in this book is "Be still and know that I am God" (Psalm 46:10). "Being still" means getting out of the whirlwind of life and stepping into God's

holy presence.

Drawing from Jesus' own examples, as well as examining the prayer life of saints in the past, this book contains much practical advice to help the believer more fully enjoy the blessings of daily communion with our heavenly Father. "THE LORD IS NIGH UNTO ALL THEM THAT CALL UPON HIM, TO ALL THAT CALL UPON HIM IN TRUTH" (PSALM 145:18). More info...

THE BIBLICAL DOCTRINE OF AUTHORITY _by_ VIRGIL SCHROCK _published by_ ROD AND STAFF PUBLISHERS TO UNDERSTAND THE ORIGIN, PURPOSE, AND POWER OF AUTHORITY. God holds ultimate control over all His creation. He establishes laws, institutions, and authority to maintain order in His creation. He delegates authority to men to regulate conduct and to maintain peace in the home, the church, and the government. But that in no way diminishes God's authority over all things. We properly exercise authority only as we submit ourselves to God and to those whom He has set over us. As we submit to God and his delegated authority, we achieve our highest purpose and ultimate usefulness. If we resist God's will and rebel against those whom He has set over us, we condemn ourselves. "Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation" (Romans 13:2). God gave us life, order and authority to do His will "in earth, as it is in heaven." In this life, God allows us to choose how we will respond to His will. But ultimately, God will bring all things back into subjection to Himself. More info... BIBLE PICTURES FOR TODDLERS - "FAVORITE STORIES FROM THE BIBLE" (BOARD

STRONGER THAN FIRE

_by_ MARK YODER _published by_ TGS INTERNATIONAL THE SPANISH BIBLE TRIUMPHS OVER THE INQUISITION Few people realize that while the Reformation was altering the face of central Europe, a parallel movement was underway in Spain. It was inspired by brave people who dared to study and practice the Bible in the face of intense opposition from the Catholic Inquisition. Among the leaders of the Spanish Reformation was Casiodoro de Reina, a man who passionately wanted to provide the people of Spain with the Bible in their own language. During the twelve years he spent translating the Bible, the Inquisition ruthlessly hunted him in an effort to destroy his work. As Casiodoro fled from country to country across Europe in search of safety, the Inquisition imprisoned, tortured, and burned his fellow believers, determined to suppress the spread of God's Word. Despite all their efforts, Casiodoro completed his translation at last, and it became the foundation for the Bible that is still read by millions of Spanish-speaking believers today. The gripping story of Casiodoro de Reina's mission is one of adventure, betrayal, suffering, endurance, and death. Most of all it is a story of triumph—the triumph of God's Word that is _stronger than fire_. More info...

UNDER ATTACK (VOLUME 4) - "THE CONQUEST SERIES" _by_ JAMES G. LANDIS _published by_ TGS INTERNATIONAL AMERICAN HISTORY THROUGH INDIAN EYES Volume 4 of The Conquest Series ; sequel to Tomahawks to Peace . _Under Attack_ lets you in on the desperation and frustration of Moravian missionaries and converted Indians as the duplicity and greed of the Whites force them to leave their prosperous villages and start over again... and again... and again. As the story unfolds, you will thrill when adult heathen Indians like Chief Wassamapah, Renatus, and Papunhank cast themselves upon the Savior's mercy and seek healing for their souls... and a place of quiet refuge for their bodies. In _Under Attack_ you will witness the suffering and injustices thrust upon godly people as they are driven like cattle from one place to another. You will read true accounts of slander, race baiting, theft, murder, deportation, captivity, forced marches, and exile. In one situation after another the Christian Indians find themselves despised and unwanted by so many, yet possessing a power that draws men from the darkest corners of heathendom to join them in daily worship of the

Savior.

Listen in as the aging Glikkikan recounts to the thirty-year-old Moravian scribe, John Heckewelder, his version of the troubling times. Feel the tension as Glikkikan insists that he knows the underlying cause of what repeatedly pushed the Christian Indians out of their homes and villages. Young Heckewelder disagrees. Join these two in a quest for truth in this historically accurate story and catch a glimpse of the vision embodied in a yet undiscovered gold medallion. More info...

A DROP OF MERCY

_by_ BECKY MCGURRIN _published by_ CHRISTIAN LIGHT PUBLICATIONS HEINRICH'S ENEMY WAS IN HIS POWER. COULD HE FORGIVE? Heinrich glared at the soldier, pity draining from his heart. "You killed a good man," he said at last. The soldier looked at him uncomprehendingly. "Have mercy, sir. I'm so

thirsty."

"Is this what you want?" Heinrich asked, holding up his cider skin. The soldier's face lit up. "Aye. Bless you for it." Heinrich spat. "Not even a drop. Here's your mercy." He turned the skin upside-down and squeezed every last drop of cider onto the

ground.

Heinrich walked away from the wounded soldier, but he could not get away from the wretchedness he felt in his heart. How could God show him mercy when he had been so ruthless? Set in the American Revolution, _A Drop of Mercy_ is the story of a young man finding his way—and finding hope—through the smoke and confusion of a war that crashed into his own backyard.

SUSANNAH'S QUEST

_by_ JOANNA STAUFFER _published by_ CARLISLE PRESS A STORY OF HOPE IN ADVERSITY "Only a Heckendorn," they said. All her life Susannah found herself struggling to overcome the stigma of being one of John Heckendorn's daughters. "Too lazy to work," people said. "He'd rather roam the woods like an Indian. No wonder they're so poor." And poor they were. Poor, that is, in everything but children. Of children there were eleven and most grew up in other homes throughout

the community.

Among them was Susannah. As a young girl she found herself forced to live with the Martins, a prosperous Mennonite family—fine Christian people. Or were they? Susannah learns early on that appearance can be

deceiving.

_Susannah's Quest_ is a true story, a sad story, a troubling story. It's a story of hardship, emotional struggles, and sadly of church

problems.

And yet, Susannah's story is also a story of hope. Despite adversity, she rose above her past and finds peace and contentment in yielding to the will of God. More info...

THE BEAUTY OF HOME ORDER _by_ DALLAS WITMER; JONATHAN MARTIN _published by_ ROD AND STAFF

PUBLISHERS

Is _home_ a refuge to flee to or a misery to escape from? This largely depends on whether we accept God's order or not. Rebelling against or neglecting God's order results in chaos and is anything but beautiful. Accepting and practicing God's order results in a beautiful home. A large portion of this book deals with parenting, which is overwhelming without God's help. Are we aware of the directions God gives in His Word? Do we understand the importance of a Scriptural brotherhood? Do we realize the aid of the Holy Spirit? What if we have failed? Homelife includes difficult relationships, special challenges, or less-than-ideal circumstances. This book presents hope for such situations, even after failure or defeat. Can a husband and a wife live in peace with each other? Is it possible to raise God-fearing children in a God-dishonoring world? What are the challenges of raising children in foreign cultures? What are the challenges and blessings of adoption? How should parents relate to rebellious children? How should they relate to married children? What is God's plan for single adults? What is our responsibility to aged parents and other elderly ones among us? How should parents teach their children the facts of life? How should one relate to a marriage partner who is not a victorious Christian? What if we have failed? Are peaceful relationships possible? This book presents Bible principles and applies them to these questions. More info... EXPLORING... THE EPISTLE TO THE EPHESIANS _by_ JESSE RUDOLPH _published by_ ROD AND STAFF PUBLISHERS From the "Exploring..." Bible Study Series . Paul addressed the Epistle of Ephesians to "the saints which are at Ephesus, and to the faithful in Christ Jesus." This included not only the Christians of Ephesus in Paul's time, but also all faithful Christians down through the ages to the end of time. What does it mean to be a "saint"? The original Greek word means "sacred" or "holy one." We cannot become saints through superhuman effort, but only through Jesus' regenerating work in our hearts. Saints are those who have been redeemed from sin by the blood of Jesus. They remain faithful in the pathway of holiness by yielding their lives to Jesus Christ. It is to these that Paul writes this

profound epistle.

"Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children; and walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour" (Ephesians 5:1-2).

A FAMILY WORSHIP RESOURCE: DEVOTIONALS FOR PARENTS AND YOUTH, PLUS STORIES FOR CHILDREN. Family worship is a time for parents and children to gather for singing, Bible reading, and spiritual instruction. Many parents see the importance of family worship, but struggle to find material suitable for their whole family. _Faithful Families_ is part of a series of devotional books that addresses that need. Each of the thirteen sections in this book focuses on a different Bible character—Noah, Rahab, Samson, and others. Each sections has readings for seven days, making ninety-one lessons—enough for approximately a quarter of a year. Each day's lesson consists of two parts. The first part is especially for Dad and Mom and the older children. It includes a suggested Scripture reading, a theme verse, and a devotional meditation on the topic introduced by the Scripture reading. The second part consists of a reading from a continued children's story related to that week's theme. Each story is followed by questions for review and discussion, which provide opportunities for applying the theme to life. May God bless your family worship time, that you and your family may "grow in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ" (2 Peter 3:18). God is faithful to His promises, so "let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering" (Hebrews 10:23). More info...

CHURCH MATTERS

_by_ GARY MILLER _published by_ TGS INTERNATIONAL GOD'S ORIGINAL PURPOSE FOR THE CHURCH AND WHY IT MATTERS Disagreements and church splits can be disillusioning, both to those within our churches and to seekers. Some want to relax church standards in order to be more relevant to the surrounding culture. Others rigidly adhere to traditional lines. Both have strong arguments to back up their views. Who is right? Many of us have wondered at times, _Is church life, as I am experiencing it, really what God had in mind? How can ongoing friction accomplish God's plan?_ Some have decided it's not worth it and have checked out, thinking it easier to worship at home than to deal with the personalities and opinions in the larger church. Others keep attending church but are constantly on the lookout for something else—something a little more compatible with their view of church. In _Church Matters_, Gary Miller compares the current state of the church with God's original vision as seen in the book of Acts. His examination of God's purpose for your congregation is a thought-provoking challenge to complacency and drift, and to the conflicts and struggles that keep us from reaching others with the Gospel.
