Imagine the God of the universe whispering in your ear, “What shall we create out of your life that will serve My purpose?”
The path of authenticity is not a solo endeavor but a calling to a partnership with God that requires utter honesty, trust, commitment, and wisdom. God guides your path with a two-fold promise, “You know I love you as you are, but together, we can make of your life what I created you to be.” Following the petitions of our Lord’s Prayer, Dr. Richard Parrott examines a family of authentic partners, the family of Abraham and Sarah, their son Isaac, grandson Jacob, and great-grandson Joseph. This fresh telling of the story reveals practical answers to the question, “How can my partnership with God be genuine, mature, and significant?” The Reluctant Journey is an honest and practical guide for relating to God. As authentic Christians, we can live true in Christ and our love for him each day, choosing His best for us so that together, we advance His kingdom “on earth as it is in heaven.” Features include:

At Cheryl’s List our mission is to help turn empty rooms into homes by providing donated furniture and household items to people in need. The idea came from watching people give and receive in our Sunday school class. The name Cheryl’s List honors a beautiful Christian and member of that class who, though battling cancer, made lists to meet needs and organize deliveries.
After Cheryl’s death, we sensed a calling to proactively expand the ministry. In February 2014, using our own vehicles, a rented storage unit, and personal garages, we began picking up and delivering furniture. Within three weeks, it became obvious that God was directing these efforts. Almost immediately upon receiving a request for an item, that item was donated; or when something was donated, almost immediately that item specifically was requested. By word of mouth, news of this unique ministry spread quickly. Now a variety of social agencies, government offices, churches, and caring citizens call to request assistance for individuals needing household items, indicating that not many services are available like this.
