Inspired by the poem "The Dash" by Linda Ellis, this contains touching short stories of life lessons, some of the most simple experiences in life that were the most meaningful. Take a deeper look at your own life when you read this book. Perspective is everything, how we act and approach others is more meaningful than we might realize. Great quotes and beautiful photography.

Quotes:

"...we all know ducks who make lots of noise, quacking and complaining about their problems in life. And then there are eagles who go about their business and consistently soar above the crowd."

"How far you go in your life depends on your being tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving, and tolerant of the weak and strong. Because someday in your life you will have been all of these."

George Washington Carver

The Last Man At The Inn by R. William Bennett

One man's quest to believe.

This brings alive the story of Jesus, from His birth to crucifixion, through the eyes of a man named Simon.  Simon was in Bethlehem when Jesus was born, in fact he was the reason that there was no room at the in, because he didn't give up his place for the young couple and they were forced to take shelter in a stable. After hearing about Jesus birth there that night, he Simon felt bad about not giving up his room. Simon also struggled with all that he learned of Jesus through the years, listening but not joining in with those who taught about Jesus, including Simon's own sons. But in the end he finally came around and truly became part of the story of Jesus - a time at His crucifixion that will be remembered through the ages. Well written story of a real human, struggling to understand what Jesus, His life and teachings meant to him. Excellent read - well worth your time.

Jerusalem's Queen by Angela Hunt

Beautiful enriching story. So much more than what you can find in Wikipedia!  A very well written story of Salome Alexandria, based more on the writing of Josephus. The characters come to life and illuminate a time a generation before our Messiah. It helps so much to envision this part of the old testament and history. Told in first person through the eyes if Salome and her servant who came from Egypt. Salome doesn't think she is good enough compared to her sister, but God knows she will change lives and be remembered throughout time.  Excellent teaching of the Jewish civilization.

From the Publisher:
Born in the small village of Modein, a town made famous by the warrior Maccabees, Salome Alexandra knows better than to harbor grand dreams for her future. She pales in comparison to her beautiful older sister, and though she learns to read at an early age, girls are not valued for their intellectual ability. But when her father and sister are killed, John Hyrcanus, a distant relative, invites Salome and her mother to live with his family in Jerusalem, where her thirst for knowledge is noticed and indulged.
When her guardian betroths her to a pagan prince, she questions HaShem's plan. When Hyrcanus finally marries her to a boy half her age, she questions her guardian's sanity. But though Salome spends much of her life as a pawn ordered about by powerful men, she learns that a woman committed to HaShem can change the world.

Target Israel Caught in the Crosshairs of the End Times by Tim LaHaye and Ed Hindson

I read and loved the Left Behind books, where I first read Tim LaHaye’s work. This is a great factual book that breaks down Revelation and current events and makes things easier to understand.  It explains a lot about the Muslim faith and their goal. We need to know that Israel belongs to the Jewish people. Fact.

Quotes from the book:
“God’s promises to Abraham and Israel are unconditional and guaranteed through various covenants. A definite pattern for Israel’s future history was prophesied in Deuteronomy before the Jews set even one foot in the Promised Land.”

“There is no question that when Russia and her allies come down against Israel to wipe her out, that God will rescue her supernaturally and also prove that He is Lord of the Universe…He singles out four groups – mainly atheists and those who forget or reject God.”

We as believers should make every effort to tell people the Gospel of God’s grace so that as many people as possible will also become believers and escape the horrors of the Tribulation. This is an excellent book to show believers and non-believers what will happen – possibly very soon. There isn’t time to wait. The Rapture of the Church could happen any time, any day. We are told to keep looking up and waiting for Jesus to tell us “Come up here!”

Description from the Publisher

As the conflicts in the Middle East grow in intensity, we cannot help but wonder what lies ahead for the nation of Israel and whether any of it means we are drawing closer to the last days.

In their exciting new book Target Israel, prophecy experts Tim LaHaye and Ed Hindson explain why Israel is at the center of God’s prophetic plan for the future. As you carefully review the Scriptures with them, you’ll learn about…
the miracle of Israel’s modern-day existence, Israel’s unique purpose in the world, the ways in which
Israel serves as a super sign of the end times, the coming alliance of nations that will attempt to annihilate Israel, Christ’s return to Jerusalem to rule the world.

You’ll be inspired as you see how God will bring all His prophetic promises to pass, and be encouraged to share your faith with greater urgency in light of Christ’s second coming.
