THANKSGIVING BRINGS DEEP DISCOUNTS FOR NGJ MATERIALS!

SUDAN by Ninie Hammon Available Now

Even if it were not based on actual events, this book would still be difficult to put down. I went from reading as a curiosity to getting lost in the pages as it wove the stories of each character into plot lines that intersect at key points. I didn’t want to care about the people because I knew the circumstances were tragic, but the authors understood the universal human condition so well that it was vain for me to resist. I was hooked.

There is plenty of tension built into the story. Thankfully, the reader is allowed relax between those scenes. Without realizing it, you will become educated on everything from politics to the business of human trafficking and the philosophies that drive them.

This book doesn’t draw all of the conclusions for you or tell you what you ought to be doing about slavery in Sudan. Even some of the characters in the book are conflicted. Instead, the reader is challenged to decide for himself what path he will take. Will we ignore these things? If not what will we do?

My favorite scene was when a believing father prayed for God to grant the safe return of his daughter and the only person that could understand his words was a devout Muslim man. The reader is left to imagine the impact that this prayer and subsequent events must have had. There were other powerful scenes, but it would spoil the book if I shared.

You’ll hug your children tighter and pray more fervently after this read. Get your copy today.

CHURCH AT CANE CREEK CLEAN UP

In the first two days of May 2010, more than 13 inches of rain fell on middle Tennessee. Some areas reported more than 19 inches of rainfall. The Cumberland River reached nearly 12 feet above flood stage and crested at just under 52 feet before the waters finally began to recede. Hundreds of people were rescued from their homes by boat and canoe. Thousands of residents were displaced from their homes. Just over 30 lives were lost as a result.

In the midst of the loss, the Church at Cane Creek joined together to worship and give thanks for all that remained. Then, they all rolled up their sleeves and started putting things in order. Enjoy this video by by Erin Harrison of the clean up day at Cane Creek and some of the surrounding activities.

SAFETY IN THE IMPERATIVE COMMAND

In the following video, Kirsten interviews Captain Steve Pearl about how to use imperative commands to guard your personal space.



If you'd like to learn about some of God's imperative commands in marriage, you'll enjoy these resources:

Debi Pearl's best selling book, CREATED TO BE HIS HELP MEET. is an eye-opening look
at God's high calling for wives.

Somewhere over the passing years and changing culture, women have lost their way. This book is written to lead them back home. Regardless of how you began your marriage or how dark and lonely the path that has brought you to where you are now, I want you to know that it is possible today to have a marriage so good and so fulfilling that it can only be explained as a miracle.

. . . So in obedience with Titus 2, where God commands the aged women to teach the younger women, I have obeyed and given you the very best I can do — 27 chapters, 304 pages, including letters from my readers, recounting couseling sessions, wisdom gleaned from my daughters, my own very personal stories, and, of course, the Word of God. It includes subjects as varied as planning meals to answering extremely intimate questions."

For men, the sermon ONLY MEN by Michael Pearl is a challenging call to action.

This great sermon for men is now available on CD. Michael Pearl speaks directly and frankly to men about their responsibilities as husbands. Wives should not listen to this CD. We don’t want you taking advantage of your man.

YOUNG WIVES CLUB

The latest issue of NGJ Magazine (July-August 2010) includes the testimony of one young wife that organized a group of friends to work through Debi Pearl's book Created To Be His Help Meet. Each week, they would read a portion of the book and then meet to discuss how the lessons were applied. All information shared was kept confidential, so they were free to share honestly about struggles and offer encouragement. Here are some of their guidelines:

* Meetings began with prayer.


* Everyone would share a 'good wife story' about how they had tried to be a good help meet that week.


* No husband bashing -- Husbands were discussed with respect.

Read Michael Pearl's advice to families facing turmoil when their children stumble and fall:


WHEN THE WORST HAPPENS
QUOTE:
You can do everything right and your children can still end up exposed to the sins of Sodom, the adultery of David and the fornication of Samson. The question is, have you gone beyond just “raising them right” to taking proactive steps to arm them against the day of dark temptation?



Debi Pearl answers questions from an adult daughter dealing with a mother blocking her from marriage in the article:

POOR MISS LOVELESS AND HER SISTER by Debi Pearl
QUOTE:
Young adults need to be tested so they can gain wisdom. A parent’s instruction concerning life is not sufficient; there comes a time when we must stand alone before God in regard to the choices we make if we are to grow to maturity before God. Some will fail; some will be wounded; but that is life.

DEBI PEARL’S NEWEST BOOK, LISTEN TO MY DREAM, A TRIBUTE TO DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR

Debi Pearl’s latest work is a children’s book entitled, LISTEN TO MY DREAM – a tribute to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Debi and her husband, Michael Pearl, worked together on the colorful illustrations which are accompanied by Debi’s lyrical prose. Children will love to hear the book read aloud. At the end of the book is a section that gives a summary the events surrounding the Civil Rights movement and Dr. King’s leadership role.

Debi Pearl lived in the Memphis area of Tennessee during the 1960’s. She experienced how the Jim Crow laws determined how people could interact. She witnessed the arguments, heard the speeches and saw the upheaval and turmoil that struck when Dr. King was murdered. She was there when the ‘Whites Only’ signs were finally taken down. Debi Pearl knew too well what life was like before Dr. King came on the scene.

Later she would tell these things to her children who wanted to know more about Dr. King. Her children hadn’t ever known what it meant to be forbidden to show kindness to someone of another race. Her children hadn’t known the reality of racial hatred. At the local library, they found only one child’s book that spoke of this man that altered history. It to fill this gap that Debi sat down and wrote LISTEN TO MY DREAM for her little ones more than 20 years ago. There was an earlier, unsuccessful attempt to publish the book, but it was soon left languishing in her office until another child found the book and began to ask about this man. The memories returned and Debi decided that it was time to pursue publishing so that another generation of children could hear about Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

However, Dr. King was more than a man that changed society. He was a father, a husband, a preacher and a man. Michael, Debi’s husband, is also a preacher. I asked her, “How will you answer those that claim Dr. King taught things that are against your beliefs? How do you pay tribute to a person that wrote and preached against things your husband explains are foundational truth?"

Debi responded simply, ‘My issue is that things changed because he spoke out. This man wasn’t perfect. He was used by God to change history. He made a difference. Children need to know what a difference one man can make.’

. . . Which is a worthy reminder for adults and children, alike

DEBI PEARL'S, LISTEN TO MY DREAM, BECOMES REALITY

Why would a country grandmother publish a children's book about Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.?

Because that grandmother was a young woman when Dr. King was killed. She was caring for and ministering to other young men that were being called upon to risk their lives in the service of their country. Some of these men were wounded. If young Debi Pearl wanted to drive them for an outing, she found herself for the first time in her young life dealing with the reality of 'whites only' signs through the eyes of those servicemen. These same men that had fought and been wounded in service to their country were not welcomed at just ANY public place -- not in Memphis, TN during the 60's.

. . . but things were beginning to change. One man called to others to make a difference, to stand for what was right. This young woman saw the difference that this one man made. She was thrilled to hear his words of truth and challenge. It was on a trip to Tennessee, that an assassin's bullet found it's mark and ended the life of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

It was a stunning, senseless tragedy. Later, this same woman would teach her own children the realities of life as she had known it. A trip to the local library revealed that there were almost no books available about Dr. King. This wouldn't do!

So, Debi Pearl wrote her own book, a children's book, to remind her children of the difference a life well-lived can make. She printed a few hundred copies which were all sold at a book fair. Churches ordered hundreds more. Schools in Memphis placed an order for thousands to stock their libraries. However, Debi had unknowingly infringed some copyright laws. The book's production was halted. The few copies that remained were placed in storage. It didn't look like this dream would become a reality.

But this past year, a young boy found one of those forgotten copies. He pulled it out and began to ask Debi Pearl about this man.

The memories returned. Now a grandmother, Debi remembered the fervent desire she had for her children to know. Now, there was yet another generation of children that needed to hear about the Dream.

This time, proper channels were followed. The King Foundation gave its formal approval for the book's publication last month. On December 15, 2009 Debi Pearl's LISTEN TO MY DREAM -- illustrated by Michael Pearl -- will be available for purchase. Be one of the first to reserve your copy and share with your children LISTEN TO MY DREAM.

A QUESTION ABOUT HELL & SALVATION

"My mother believes that all will be saved, eventually. She excuses and misinterprets scriptures dealing with hell. How serious is this?"

Michael and his wife, Debi Pearl live in Tennessee where their ministry No Greater Joy is located. Together the Pearls have written numerous books and articles about child training, marriage and family.

Michael teaches on the controversial subject of security of the believer. This is new material. Don’t jump to conclusions. This is not old fare rehashed; you will be surprised at what you hear. The Church has been divided, both sides holding to a portion of Scripture while explaining away the other Scripture. Can one believe all the Scripture on both sides of the issue? Absolutely.

THE VISION is a book about a group of people that come together in hopes of publishing the gospel message in every language. Asher is driven to see the message published – a message his mentor died trying to share. Hope also has a dream to see these things through and works with her daughter Cheyenne to finance the work by developing a herbal berry brew. Local White Supremacists attempt to seize the brew for their own purposes. Muslim Terrorists work to prevent translation of the work into Arabic. All of this takes place in the face of government upheaval and a threatening world-wide natural disaster.

While outside forces press inward, this small group finds themselves stretched to the limit by conflicting personalities and struggles from within.

Each character examines the price they may pay to see THE VISION become a reality.


ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Debi Pearl is an accomplished writer and no stranger to controversy. With husband, Michael Pearl she co-authored TO TRAIN UP A CHILD. More recently, she caused an outcry among feminists of all stripes with CREATED TO BE HIS HELP MEET a work which presents a Biblically based view of women in God’s created order.

It is with this background that she has taken on the task of publishing her latest book, a work of dramatic fiction, THE VISION. She draws heavily upon the things most familiar to her – herbs, rural living and missions – to provide her readers with an exciting tale of intrigue and romance. Those familiar with the Pearls and their ministry, No Greater Joy will note the obvious parallels as the characters try to publish and distribute a chronological Bible comic book (similar to Michael Pearl’s GOOD AND EVIL, now in color and slated for world-wide distribution in 100 languages). In the process, they face peril on many levels. Throughout THE VISION readers are given references for more reading on various topics that give the plot a very realistic feel.

FROM THE COVER

“THE VISION is a touching love story, a dramatic race against evil, and an emphatic reminder of the power of God that will take you on a ride so real you will find it difficult to separate fact from fiction.”

Purchase your copy of THE VISION by Debi Pearl on November 3rd or 4th from Barnes & Noble. Email your dated receipt to Mel Cohen in order to receive your coupon codes for 25% off your purchases. Offer expires 11/09/09.

SOWING & REAPING THE REWARDS OF CHILD TRAINING

In June of 1995, Michael Pearl published a photo of his family taken in 1991 along with an article entitled “Of Utmost Concern.” By this point, he had seen the results of his child training in the adult lives of some of his children. In the article Michael reflected on the choices he made to forsake other activities for the calling of husband and father.

“Even before I was married, my occupation, financial security, ministry, personal fulfillment, all took third place to concerns for my future children. “What does it profit a man if he gain the whole world and lose his own soul?” Likewise, what does it profit a father if he gains the whole world and loses the souls of his children?”

A decade later, with their children grown, Michael and Debi ran across that article and reflected on the many milestones they had passed and how God had blessed those choices. They published another article entitled“Another Generation.”

“Life is a gift to be enjoyed with thanksgiving. All these children and grandchildren are the fruit of our love and God’s love! Deb and I have reached the reaping stage of life, and the fruit is sweet beyond belief.”

Five years later, in May of 2009, Michael further reflected in an article entitled “A Special Day.”

“When I reached the end of my row where I turn to make another pass, I looked across the yard and was blessed by the most beautiful sight. Not too far away, my wife was working in the herb garden, with several kids, none older than four years, working and playing around her. They were pulling weeds and placing stones. One was digging in the sand pile. The warm wind stirred their hair and clothes. They were having more fun than most people have in a month. . . .

In the meantime, we fathers need to be like Abraham. God chose him to be the father of a great nation for one virtue that he exercised. God said of him, “For I know him, that he will command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of the LORD, to do justice and judgment; that the LORD may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him” (Genesis 18:19).”

If you know Mike & Debi Pearl you'll understand the challenge of getting them to be comfortable enough to sit in one place and just relax. They are always busy with one project or another. They pack every moment of the day with projects of purpose. It's apparent that these images represent a time and heart investment by Laura. It's great that she has shared them with the rest of us. Click on the link above to see all of the shots in the series.

If you'd like to know Debi's secret for keeping her man gaga over her after all these years, check out her best-selling book CREATED TO BE HIS HELP MEET.

Many times as I read a passage, I would say to my husband, “I’m not going to include those verses in my book because if I do the ladies (of any religious group you can think of including my own) will not like my book or promote it.” My dear husband would say to me, “If God thought it was important enough to inspire it as part of his Word to us, then you should include it.” And so I would cringe and add one more controversial subject after another.

So in obedience with Titus 2, where God commands the aged women to teach the younger women, I have obeyed and given you the very best I can do — 27 chapters, 304 pages, including letters from my readers, recounting couseling sessions, wisdom gleaned from my daughters, my own very personal stories, and, of course, the Word of God. It includes subjects as varied as planning meals to answering extremely intimate questions.
