In a mission minded family, there’s a God infused energy. There’s a focus on Gods worldwide purpose and there’s a passion for the lost. There’s a spiritual depth and hunger that reaches beyond the maintenance mode of cultural Christianity. A mission minded family emphasizes leadership, calling and destiny. There’s a prevailing attitude of self sacrifice and an emphasis on total submission to Gods will. There’s an unmistakable and contagious joy. Dunagan, who wrote The Mission Minded Child, brings the same perspective to what it means to be a mission minded family. This book includes suggested activities for families to participate in together as well as resources to help families develop the desire to be more missions focused. She discusses the need for families to balance and prioritize their everyday lives and delves into what a family’s finances would look like if they were focused on missions. This practical book is the perfect companion to The MissionMinded Child. Families who read and practice principles from this book will receive a rekindled closeness as they participate in ministry together.

The Appearing
In The End Is Our Beginning
Author: Kristen Wisen
Binding Type: Hardcove
Publisher: Credo
ISBN: 978-0-9787620-8-7
Retail Price: $24.99
From the Publisher:
Watch for the signs. Then look for My return. That’s what Jesus said, and that’s exactly what the church has done for two thousand years. Still Emma Hamilton and Adam Reed never dreamed it would happen in their lifetime. However, with the Temple rebuilt and an international leader gathering the world into a unified federation, the signs are everywhere. And though one is more prepared than the other, they find themselves hiding on a mountain with their families, cut off from the world, waiting for His appearing. But there would be another second coming before Christs, and this one would turn the world upside down. He has a deadline and will do whatever it takes to accomplish his goal. And time is running out. Hurtling toward the finish line, nothing can stop these unthinkable events. The government infiltrates unsuspecting churches; no believer is safe. Overnight, the church finds itself the target of Satan himself. Emma and Adam soon discover that the plans of their congregation have been compromised, and years of preparation have been wasted. In a time when angels deliver messages from God and demons influence the minds of men, the battle for earth is at hand. Emma and Adam struggle to believe what they know is true, though prophecy is being literally fulfilled before their eyes. One slipup is all Satan needs to draw the church from its hiding place, and he sets a plan in motion to lure them out.
