Sunday Exhortations: Christian Counseling & Education Foundation Minibooks

A few weeks ago Westminster Bookstore was having a sale on a few items that Husband and I wanted to purchase.  While we were shopping we noticed a tab called “CCEF Resources” and towards the bottom was a sub category called “CCEF Minibooks”.  CCEF, for those of you who aren’t aware, stands for Christian Counseling & Education Foundation.

Minibooks are short, about 20 to 30 pages, and are written someone with a specific topic, question or concern.  Topics cover a wide array of issues including abortion, depression, bipolar disorder, chronic pain, family feuds, forgiveness, grief, marriage, single parenting, and many others.  They can be used by individuals, counselors, and churches to address issues in a gospel centered manner.  Husband and I purchased several and have been thankful for these little resources.  They are biblical and gospel centered approaches to questions and topics that are very common.

Westminster Books has about 27 different titles available to be purchased in sets or individual minibooks.  I appreciate that they provide sample pages in PDF form when you click on the individual titles.  Individual minibooks are priced between $2 and $5, you can buy multi-packs as well.  You can also purchase these from the publisher, New Growth Press.  If intrested in purchasing these from the publisher you can receive a 20% discount this week only using code NGP2012.

Husband and I also found these useful to give to others we know and love who are struggling with a certain issue.  Since they aren’t too long and they are packed with the Truth, it’s a wonderful encouragement for those desiring to run the race daily.

Praying for Your Future Husband Review

I grew up reading Robin Jones Gunn’s fiction books, first with the Christy Miller series, then Sierra Jensen, Christy and Todd: The College Years, and then the Glenbrooke Series.  I dreamed as I read these books.  One of my favorite things about Gunn’s writing is she paints a picture of what it looks like to seek the Lord in your every day life, particularly in love.  My friend and I dreamed of meeting, and eventually marrying, our “Todd”.  Her fiction novels for teens reiterated scripture and solidified the desire to one day marry a man that was a “God lover”.

When I first learned that Robin Jones Gunn had joined with Tricia Goyer to write Praying for Your Future Husband: Preparing Your Heart for His, I knew I wanted to read it!    I was thrilled when I was given the opportunity to review this book and am so glad I have it now!

As I began reading I realized that the authors had indeed provided a clear and excellent presentation to Christian girls/women who are seeking to prepare their hearts for their future husband.  The book is targeted for a teen audience but the truths in the book are for any single woman waiting on the Lord for their future husband.  There are 12 chapters on different qualities to pray for when praying for your future husband.  Gunn and Goyer rightly point out that you need to have a right relationship with the Lord before praying these things over your future husband.   They provide questions, time for thought, confession, and prayer at the conclusion of each chapter.  Also at the end of the book there is a section dedicated to “Scriptures to Pray for your Future Husband”.  There are 52, conveniently corresponding to the weeks of the year.  What a wonderful way to pray over your future husband.

Yes, I know I have already found and married my “God lover” hubby!  I also remember so clearly being a teen and wanting to know, how do I prepare? I’ve passed along my love of Gunn’s fiction for teens to several as I have grown and I am so thankful to be able to give them this book as well.  Now as a mother to a daughter I am praying for her future husband.  If you are a mother of a girl, in mentoring relationships, or simply know a teenage girl who loves the Lord, this would be an excellent gift!

Note:  I received this book for free from WaterBrook Multnomah Publishing Group for this review.
