CCC Jul 10, Edward T. Welch "Shame Interrupted"

Edward T. Welch
"Shame Interrupted"
New Growth Press, 2012, 978-1-935273-98-1, $17.99
Shame controls far too many of us. We know what shame feels like. The way out, however, is harder to find. Time doesn't help, neither does confession, because shame is just as often from what others do to you as it is from what you have done. But the Bible is about shame from start to finish, and, if we are willing, God's beautiful words break through. Through Jesus you are covered, adopted, cleansed, and healed. www.newgrowthpress.com www.ccef.org

"Stand By Me"
Thomas Nelson, 2012, 978-1-59554-864-1, $15.99
Kathryn Davies is a bright young woman from a prominent Phoenix family. But after making a leap of faith, dropping out of med school, and moving to inner city Chicago, her family all but disowns her. Avis has a strong faith, but the country’s economic downturn has thrown both her and her husband’s jobs in question. And Avis hasn’t heard from her youngest daughter in months, an estrangement that gnaws at her every day. Where is God in this? Kat’s flamboyant zeal for living a “radical” Christian life is a stark contrast to Avis’s more reserved faith. But in God’s timing, the two women discover they need each other in ways neither of them expected. www.daveneta.com www.thomasnelson.com
