Do you enjoy reading moving stories packed with adventure, romance, and intrigue? More importantly, do you enjoy reading things that make the Bible more understandable and relatable to help you to grow spiritually? What if you could get all of that from one book? That is what Giants, Kings, and Psalms has done. Imagine reading the dramatic chronological narrative of the life of Israel’s King David while also enjoying the psalms in context of the events of his life. But it is more than an adventure and is superior to a biography. The format of this book allows the reader to see so much more than the three or four more commonly known events in David’s life. In addition, the author has taken the psalms and placed them, when possible, in context of the historical events that took place, allowing the reader to seamlessly read the book of Psalms in context of the events in David’s life. Your reading experience will be much easier since everything is placed in order for you. This book is going to speak to your life, draw you closer to the Lord, and give you enjoyment as you journey alongside David’s life and the psalms from beginning to end. You will also encounter some giants along the way, and did you know....Goliath was not the only one?

Do you want your children to be actively serving in the local church when they turn thirty and beyond? Why The Stay can help! Much has been written about younger adults and their departure from church involvement. Concerned parents and church leaders want to know what has caused them to depart. Instead of asking why young adults are leaving the church, Parr and Crites conducted a national research project of those who grew up in church and are still serving faithfully. They studied why they have stayed and the results are compelling. You will learn as a parent, pastor, or church leader specific actions that you can take to make a definitive difference in whether or not the fifteen-year-olds attending your church now are still attending and serving when they turn thirty. You will discover: fifteen factors that make a great difference in the likelihood that children and teens will remain in church as adults ten issues that make somewhat of a difference in lifetime involvement five surprises that do not make as much difference as you might think the greatest gap discovered in the ministry focus of a church actions you can take as a parent that greatly increase the likelihood your children will remain faithful to church when they are adults strategies church leaders can implement that increase the probability that children and youth-group members will serve in the church as adults Why They Stay is much more than numbers and data. Parr and Crites share from their personal experiences, and the information can help you be more effective in your parenting and church leadership.
