A love letter to mothers everywhere, About My Mother will make you laugh and cry, and see yourself in its reflection. Peggy Rowe's story of growing up as the daughter of Thelma Knobel is filled with warmth and humor. But Thelma could be your mother, there's a Thelma in everyone's life. She's the person taking charge, the one who knows instinctively how things should be. Today, Thelma would be described as an alpha personality, but while growing up, her daughter Peggy saw her as a dictator, albeit a benevolent, loving one. They clashed from the beginning, Peggy, the horse-crazy tomboy, and Thelma, the genteel yet still controlling mother, committed to raising two refined, ladylike daughters. Good luck.

God is still in the business of transforming his followers into world changers, and that includes you. He may be calling you to something big, like moving to Africa to start a ministry. Or he may be asking you to start small, like simply leaving your comfort zone and stretching your faith to try something you haven't before. In either case, it's his power working through you that will impact you and everyone around you.

Finding Strength & Purpose in Your Wilderness. Do you feel lost in a difficult season, wondering, "GOD, WHERE ARE YOU?!" Perhaps you heard God speak, but now He seems silent. Maybe you moved forward in faith, but now His presence is nowhere to be found. Welcome to the wilderness; the place between receiving a promise from God and seeing it come to pass. But here's the good news. This is no purposeless wasteland. God uses the wilderness to prepare and equip you for your destiny; that is, if you navigate it correctly. Contrary to what many may think, getting through this season isn't just a matter of waiting on God. You have a part to play in navigating through it. A big one. And if you don't want to waste time wandering in circles, it's important to learn what that is.
