                    THE MOST IMPORTANT GIFT
Rob Parsons, the founder of "Care for the Family," asks the question, "What is the most important gift a father can give to his child?"  He always gives the same answer: it is his unconditional love and acceptance. The key to a child’s heart is to let him or her know that

                    We are living in a time in which millions of people are exploring alternatives to traditional Western Medicine. An “holistic health explosion,” it has been called. We realize, of course, that traditional Western Medicine is very valuable and, for most of us, when we get sick, it is the first place

                    THE GIFT
A professor of mine from seminary told us this story: When he was a young man, all of 23, he had the opportunity to take a summer tour of Europe as a graduation present, he was from a well to do family. He traveled about Europe by train, boat and sometimes by bicycle. Finally he ended up

                    THE GIFT OF A CROSS
Story: Woman Led to Christ through an Act of Kindness 
Craig Groeschel, The Christian Atheist (Zondervan, 2011). p. 210
