    In His Hands by Madge Beckon


    Publisher's Review: Where else would you want to be than in the Hands that uphold the universe? The Hands with the nail prints that speak peace to your soul? In an engaging series of simple yet profound essays, the author lets us in on her own personal experiences that call our hearts to trust such a faithful God. This book stirs our memories to remember those times in our own lives when we knew we were In His Hands and it was the only place to be. We also learn how to raise our own memorials like the patriarchs, so we don't forget His goodness to us.
    Summary: Short devotional thoughts to encourage and challenge women in their daily Christian lives. Written by an older woman, these thoughts are informally and are appropriate for women of all ages.

    Personal note from reviewer: I have read this book more than once through. They were a great help and comfort to me at the time that I was grieving following the call Home of my mother. Highly recommended for any woman who desires to live for the Lord.

    On His Heart by Madge Beckon


    Publisher's Review: It was natural that the third book in this series from the pen of Madge Beckon should take us to the heart of things. For the heart of the universe is the heart of God, and that love was unveiled in the love of the Saviour. But the One who died for us two thousand years ago also lives for us today. As our Great High Priest, He is watching over us, providing for us, and praying us home every step of the way. We are always On His Heart. This collection of short essays warms our own hearts as we see the wonderful ways of the Lord at work in our lives.

    Summary: Short devotional thoughts to encourage and challenge women in their daily Christian lives. Written by an older woman, these thoughts are informally and are appropriate for women of all ages.

    At His Feet by Madge Beckon


    Publisher's Review: Where would you go when you infant daughter lay seriously ill in a land where you didn't know a word of the language? Or when your town was surrounded by Communists ready to move in? Or when you sat by your dying husband, his body wracked with pain? Where would you go when your spirit longed to know God as one knows a bosom friend? Or when your heart was so full of gratitude it was nearly bursting? To His Feet of course: the feet where Mary sat; the feet that once were nailed to a cross; where every knee shall bow.

    Summary: Short devotional thoughts to encourage and challenge women in their daily Christian lives. Written by an older woman, these thoughts are informally and are appropriate for women of all ages.

    At His Table by Madge Beckon


    Publisher's Review: Madge Beckon takes us on a journey through her life to share with us a collection of thoughts gleaned from her experiences shared during a meal, fellowship, or when working together. We learn from our parents, friends, peers, mentors and Christian leaders, and a great quantity of what we learn is taught informally, such as around a kitchen table. We are taken to peek in on the gatherings in many table scenes throughout scripture, and Madge Beckon imagines some of the advice and help shared. Whenever the Lord is present and invited to be the host, that table becomes His. It is a privilege to feast at His table and to share His blessed hope with others at our tables, and what a joy it will be to feast in the presence of the Lord when He returns.

    Summary: Short devotional thoughts to encourage and challenge women in their daily Christian lives. Written by an older woman these thoughts are informally and are appropriate for women of all ages.

    Personal note from reviewer: I have read this book more than once through. They were a great help and comfort to me at the time that I was grieving following the call Home of my mother. Highly recommended for any woman who desires to live for the Lord.

    365 Great Bible Stories by Carine Mackenzie



    Publisher's Review:

    365 Great Bible Stories: The Good News of Jesus from Genesis to Revelation has enough stories to last you the whole year through. Each reading is one page in length, making it perfect for meal time devotions or bed time reading with your children. Parents will especially appreciate the closing section of each story, which is titled either “Think” or “Pray” offering suggestions for discussion or prayer related to the story you just finished reading. Another special feature of 365 Great Bible Stories is that the stories related to major themes and topics can be easily identified by special images. For instance, if you see a lamb picture on a particular page, you know that story is about Jesus Christ and salvation. You can see all of the special pictures used throughout the book below:

    In addition to the special images noted above, there are numerous beautiful illustrations throughout the book that will be sure to keep you and your children engaged as you embark on the journey to discover the good news about Jesus Christ from Genesis to Revelation. As you read this book, it is our hope that you will be able to make a special friend, Jesus Christ, the true Saviour. He is with his people always no matter what time of day or what month of the year it is. God’s word is true always. Read it and learn from it and follow it all the days of your life.
