Wally Kroeker, editor of The Marketplace, sees all of life as God's domain. When we go to work, God is on the job with us. We are God's double agents in the daily marketplace.

Whatever we do, whatever we produce, whatever we buy and sell--it all is done in the presence of the Almighty. God cares about the work we do.

These 52 short weekly musings are for everyone with work to do, whether grocery shopping, selling cars, or hoeing weeds. Kroeker shows the common threads that link our jobs and our faith.

This books celebrates the work week of God.

Using her family experiences, Vernell Klassen Miller weaves many threads into the fabric of these meditations on adoption. She includes theories about bonding to infants and other children, the stages of relinquishment and adoption, and how "entitlement" happens, and the advantages of adoption.

Drawing on her own experience, Donoghue reaches out to all who parent alone and invites them to build with her a community of mutual encouragement and trust in God.

A unique personal flavor, Meditations for Single Moms will inspire single parents as well as those who support them.

Familiar with war, death, and poverty, Classen looks for the hints of beauty that draw us through the struggle toward God's hopes and dreams for humankind. Her search for God in shopping malls and nature, in pain and beauty, in friends and strangers invites others to enter more deeply into their own unique experience of God in daily life.

Author Sandra Drescher-Lehman has been a parent long enough to voice the utter exhaustion that lies beyond the glow of cherubic infants and charming toddlers. She hates whining and houses that dissolve into chaos. She gets undone by pre-dinner tensions and bickering siblings. She's been withered by temptation to list all she's accomplished on a day spent at home with her kids. She's caught herself drawing comparisons with the tidy artsy mom down the street.

But for all those moments, including the time she looked at her kids and wistfully imagined "their parents" coming to pick them up and spirit them away, she furnishes a brief meditation.

Moms, dads, and single parents will find renewed energy from these short daily meditations. Sandra Drescher-Lehman stands right beside you. She's an adult friend, but she only stays a minute!
