| Since when is being called "virtuous" an insult?"She's quite virtuous" - sounds rather prissy, doesn't it? Father Benedict J. Groeschel, C.F.R., would agree. It's a word that's gotten a bad rap, misused and misunderstood even by great thinkers, philosophers, and theologians, and mocked in the cynical soundbites of the media.Rediscover virtue as it should be understood in our lives. With wit, warmth, and wisdom, Father Groeschel reintroduces the Seven Cardinal Virtues of prudence, justice, temperance, ortitude, faith, hope, and charity. One by one he makes them meaningful for modern men and women, shaking off the dusty mantle of pretentiousness and demonstrating how each has a real role in a whole and holy life.Father Groeschel's charming conversational style entertains even as he educates and challenges us. History, politics, an advertisement, the neighbor down the street ... all are reference points for Father Groeschel as he explores the meaning of each virtue for Christians today. By the end of the book, you will understand that being labeled virtuous is the ultimate compliment. |

| Becoming the ideal woman is a ot harder than it looks...the woman in Proverbs 31 makes June Cleaver look like a sluggard! For years Christian women have struggled to understand what the Proverbs 31 woman was all about. Instead of encouragement or instruction, for most, this passage offered "more guilt than eating a one-pound bag of M&Ms." Is this the ideal woman? Or is the Proverbs 31 woman an out-dated fixture of the past? An impossible role model? Vicki Courtney believes that this passage is not in the Bible by accident and that a virtuous woman is a rare find in today's world.

| In the early 18th century, a Christian named Count Zinzendorf formed a secret society called the Honorable Order of the Grain of Mustard. Members wore a ring inscribed with the words "No man liveth unto himself" and took a solemn vow to be true to Christ, to be kind to people and to take the Gospel to the nations. Zinzendorf's vow to live unselfishly is as challenging today as ever. Through these principles, Pete Greig offers a "rule of life" for a generation looking for guidance through a chaotic culture. Included is a 40-day devotional to dig deeper into biblical principles, plus a full-color bonus section featuring a visual interpretation of "The Vision," a prayerful manifesto written by Greig that's become a rallying cry of a generation |

| In a Vision of Jesus R. T. Kendall examines the first chapter of Revelations verse by verse. In this book the author focuses on what Jesus looks like not simple in appearance but as God reveals Him. Some of the topics covered are the unique promise (for those who read and take to heart the prophesy), how to handle (an enemy, guilt, jealousy, and death), and who is Jesus (fullfilment of Old Testement prophesies, preeminent in the church, the Son of God, the son of man, our great High Priest, and the Kind). |
