With Matchless, Gregory Maguire has reinvented the Hans Christian Andersen classic The Little Match Girl for a new time and new audiences. Originally asked by National Public Radio to write an original story with a Christmas theme, the New York Times bestselling author of Wicked and A Lion Among Men was once again inspired by the fairy tales we all loved in childhood—and he composed a poignant and enchanting tale of transcendence. A lovely and beautifully illustrated gift, Matchless places Andersen’s pitiful waif in the august company of Maguire’s previously re-imagined Snow White (Mirror, Mirror), Cinderella (Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister), and, of course, the Wicked Witch and other denizens of Oz.

Freshly minted look, from the beloved author of The Woman’s Book of Courage. Sue Patton Thoele has written a dozen books, sharing the wisdom of her own life and her practice as a therapist. Women of all ages will find reassurance, humor, and stories that help them access the confidence they need to make their lives and dreams their own.

Thoele encourages us to weave a safety net, befriend our fears and see what we can take away from them, become our own parent when we need one, accept what is, and change what we can. These brief meditations, read daily, help reclaim dreams, tap into your intuitive wisdom, and find the strength to live fearlessly each and every day.

Confidence is not some big, abstract “out there” thing, accessible only to movie stars, brainiacs, and billionaires. It’s the stuff daily life is made of. Sue Thoele inspires and encourages us to find and grow our own confidence.

Become a Committed Friend of God

You probably don't need someone to force you to eat. You eat when you're hungry. Your stomach growls, and you munch until you fill up.

Whether you know it or not, you have the same kind of natural hunger for God. Your questions, problems, doubts, triumphs, failures, the things you love and hate, your dreams of things you want to be or do--those are like a growling stomach prompting you to get closer to God by spending time with him and his Word.

God created you to know and love him the same way he knows and loves you, but living out your faith isn't always easy--especially if you're still figuring out what that means. Total Devotion gives you solid biblical truth to help you navigate whatever challenges come your way. You'll grow confident in your faith and deepen your friendship with God--and improve your relationships with others along the way.

Whether you've been a Christian for years or are just starting out, it's never the wrong time to work on how you act and think. If you're ready to take your faith seriously, you're ready for Total Devotion.

What more encouraging way to gain perspective than by talking to someone who has been there, especially when that someone is one of your peers. 

Written expressly for teens by teens, this unique 365 day devotional is filled with personal experiences that are relatable and heart-felt. 

In addition to learning teen to teen how to deal with difficult issues and maneuver the often trying path to adulthood, each devotion leads teens to move into a deeper relationship with Christ as they recognize that He is the answer to life's problems and strife. Through the stories of others, teens see how God works in our lives when we open ourselves to Him. 

The devotion includes hundreds of teen authors and teens love reading what their peers have written. This devotional creates a safe, social atmosphere for teens to learn that they are not alone and that God is at work in their lives. Teens learn from other's failures and triumphs how to make the right choices. The impetus for this devotional is to help teens understand how God can and does work in their lives.
