The Resolution for Women
Written in partnership with Sherwood Pictures' upcoming film, COURAGEOUS, in The Resolution for Women, popular speaker and author Priscilla Shirer challenges all women to be intentional about embracing and thriving in God’s beautiful and eternal calling on their lives.Like the men in the movie who resolve to fully accept their responsibilities before God, Shirer explains how today's women can and should live out their own resolution. It is "a defining banner that hangs over your life, written in the ink of your own choices." A woman's banner should be an accurate reflection of who she desires to be-someone completely Christ-centered who blesses and changes things in her world for the better.
The Resolution for Women inspires women with intentional, spirit-filled living from three unique angles. Section one, entitled, "This Is Who I Am," helps a woman define herself as "authentically me, purposefully feminine, surprisingly satisfied, and faithfully His." Section two, "This Is What I Have," invites her to value "my best, my blessing, my honor, and my heart." And Section three, "This Is What Matters To Me," focuses on joyfully honoring God as a wife, mother, and family member while resolving to live with the grace that leaves a godly legacy. The Resolution for Women is designed to inspire a revolution.
Biography
A Lifetime of Wisdom
It's not what I lost. It's what I've found. I was only seventeen, just a
girl, when God asked me for everything I had ... my health, my hopes,
my independence, my dreams, my freedom, and my mobility. He took it all.
I was so angry with Him that I tried to push Him away. God relentlessly
held me more closely. Looking back, forty years later, I understand
that God has changed and healed me---my heart and my mind---in the most
unexpected ways, giving me rubies of His wisdom about an unbending faith
and an experience of His mercy I can now tell you about. Was it a fair
exchange, my freedom and no wheelchair for the rubies of wisdom I've
been given? Absolutely. In this I have learned at the feet of the Lord
Jesus, embracing the way that God heals us, even when we rage at Him in
anger, fear, and despair. This book is not about what I lost in that
diving accident so long ago. It's about the wisdom He's given me to live
life victoriously in the face of disappointments and challenges that we
all face.Fiction

Veggie Tales - Lyle the Kindly Viking (G)
Well, it had to happen--Archibald Asparagus is hosting his own VeggieTales
show. The 15th video from this groundbreaking Christian-lite company
gives us plenty of what makes the series so much fun: leader Bob the
Tomato, daffy Larry the Cucumber, catchy songs, and scattershot humor.
Tired of the wacky ways of the normal VeggieTales shows, Archibald wants to inject an element of class. First up: an all-vegetable staging of Hamlet. Unfortunately, the only script that can be found is a slightly different version called "Omelet." The Bard's famous lines take a beating with the usual Monty Python-esque humor of the Veggie
crew. Next, after an Archibald-influenced "Silly Songs with Larry"
segment, the featured event of the evening proves to be the lost Gilbert
& Sullivan musical Lyle the Kindly Viking. This brawny band
of Vikings love their job (and have an affinity for big-screen TVs) but
cannot understand why the meek Lyle (Junior Asparagus, natch) wants to
share his meager belongings with their victims. Certainly, the sharing
ways of Lyle will win the day. After such experiments as the Larry-Boy shows, which dropped the series' familiar opening and even Bob himself, this familiarly structured VeggieTales video is a joy to watch and illustrates how far the creators have come while sticking to their roots. For ages 4 and up. --Doug Thomas
