October 29, 2019

During the holiday season, Episcopal Relief & Development encourages friends and supporters to give a gift that will transform a life with Gifts For Life, an alternative giving catalog that offers tangible and meaningful ways to create lasting change in communities around the world.

“Gifts for Life is a tangible way to bring the work of Episcopal Relief & Development to life,” said Betsy Deisroth, Vice President of Advancement for Episcopal Relief & Development. “We know that many churches and individuals look forward to participating each year and we hope you will join them, and us, this holiday season.”

The Gifts for Life program enables individuals and groups to empower transformation in communities worldwide through the purchase of gifts to support those communities. The catalog features a wide range of gift options from $15 to help parents nurture and nourish a child to $1,284 to provide a complete care package to empower a community.

The catalog also includes a new offering to help give children with special needs the opportunity to participate meaningfully in the life of the community. Hearing aids, glasses and other assistive devices are life-changing to children with physical challenges. Additionally, disaster relief kits, drought-resistant seeds, vocational training and bicycles are just a few of the other gift options.

This year, the Gifts For Life catalog is organized to align with the organization’s three key program priorities: helping communities promote the rights of Women; supporting and protecting Children so they reach appropriate health and developmental milestones; and working with families and communities to adapt to the effects of a rapidly changing Climate.

“Organizing the gifts by priority program areas allows supporters to see just how each gift contributes to Episcopal Relief & Development’s work to benefit Women, Children and Climate,” said Esther Cohen, Chief Operating Officer for Episcopal Relief & Development. ”With each order you can be a part of making lasting change for an individual or family, both now and for years to come.”

Gifts for Life purchases are fully tax-deductible, and an excellent way to support the organization’s life-giving work and share that impact with family and friends. These items can be ordered online at episcopalrelief.org/gifts, and donors can choose to send a customizable e-card or a beautiful printed card to tell the recipient about the life-changing gift made in their honor. Orders can also be made over the phone by calling 1.855.312.4325 or via mail through the instructions on the catalog or brochure.

Additionally, supporters can download digital resources such as prayers, bulletin inserts, and an Advent calendar poster from the online Advent Toolkit to help dioceses, congregations or groups plan, construct and host an Advent campaign to support Gifts for Life.

“Power of Prayer: ‘When God’s Perfect Will Breaks Your Heart,’” is an inspiring manuscript of testimonies of prayers answered that will undoubtedly motivate its readers to develop a premeditated prayer life. This powerful devotional reveals the key to enduring and surviving the many life-altering storms that overwhelm us. This thought provoking book is the creation of published author Diane B. Townsend, a principal of Tallavana Christian School in Havana, Florida. She holds a master’s degree in Theological Studies and has spent almost four decades working in the area of higher education.

Townsend shares with her readers that “If you feel empty or in one of life’s storms that seem to get more turbulent with each passing day, then a rededication to prayer may be what is missing in your life. Prayer is the most powerful tool we have to connect with God. It is one of the first methods of communication we are taught, as a child, to talk with God. Most of us were taught to ask God to “take our soul” if we were to die before we woke. While many of us devote time to prayer, sadly, most of us never experience more than the surface of its power. Many never break through the heavenly realm where God reigns and the impossible happens.

This devotional encourages you to develop an intentional prayer life—-the kind that will cause God to perform mountain-moving miracles, increase your faith in prayer, fill your emptiness, and even help you see where God is taking you while in that storm.It is my prayer that you will be inspired to step out on a newfound faith in prayer, and join the many believers who are experiencing the ultimate joy of the power of prayer even when God’s perfect will breaks our heart.

Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Diane B. Townsend’s new book is a motivating work that will encourage anyone to see through the darkness of struggles with the light of faith in prayer.

“Seven Things Every Believer Needs to Know”: an insightful dive into the knowledge about the importance of a good faith foundation, spiritual growth, good judgment, and genuine pray life; while also educates about the misrepresentation of faith and its relation to struggles and feelings of worry. “Seven Things Every Believer Needs to Know” is the creation of published author Dr. Ava S. Harvey Sr., a pastor of the Pilgrim Rest Missionary Baptist Church in Mississippi since 1997. He is also a certified mentor through the Mississippi National Guard Youth Challenge Academy, the visionary of the FACE-IT Fellowship Ministry, and has volunteered as a Big Brother Big Sister mentor as well. He was awarded the Pastor of the Year by the Mississippi Music Awards and the prestigious HEADWAE Academic Excellence Award by the Mississippi State Legislature.

Dr. Harvey Sr. shares, “Thoughtfully written and drawing on decades of pastoral experience, Seven Things Every Believer Needs to Know is an essential resource for developing mature Christian spirituality. The Great Commission given by Christ entails the making of disciples through the ministry of teaching. Within the contents of this book are transformative lessons and practical principles that are essential for living the life of faith. Each chapter provides the tenets of support that are fundamental in forming a balanced Christian lifestyle. Too often, believers become disillusioned with God and lose faith when their prayers are seemingly unanswered. There are innumerable misconceptions and incomplete theologies associated with subjects regarding suffering, hardship, and pain. Questions like, “Where is God when I am hurting? Why does God allow bad things to happen to good people?” are properly addressed in this guidebook.

“Throughout each page, Dr. Harvey seeks to gently merge theoretical expectations to pragmatic reality at every stage in Christian development. He conveys instructional strategies and biblical information on a range of topics such as stressors and pressure, waiting on the Lord, and force ripening. Nourished by the Holy Spirit and guided with traditional orthodoxy, the pedagogy of this manuscript is suitable for both individual and collective use. It offers a creative framework for small group settings, discipleship-formation classes, and church Bible studies, respectively. Using sound Christian concepts as the methodology, this resource offers a wide array of comprehensive and ecumenical insights for systematic growth. It serves to foster a spiritual synthesis between the classic components of faith, understanding, and knowledge. Seven Things Every Believer Needs to Know is an appealing compilation that provides the reader heartfelt advice, wholesome encouragement with spiritual direction.”

Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Dr. Ava S. Harvey Sr.’s new book is an illuminating source of precious truths written in the hopes that it will assist anyone as they navigate through their faith journey.

“The Prominence of Man’s Existence”: a masterful handbook written to impart wisdom in recognizing one’s duty and responsibility regarding the spirit of error or good and evil. “The Prominence of Man’s Existence” is the creation of published author George H. McClaurin, a writer who has a vast love and strong faith to God.

McClaurin writes, “This volume 1 of the subject title is a primer of other volumes to come, first in importance, time, or rank; it is the base coat or foundation of other volumes to come. It can be used as an excellent study guide for the righteous saints of God who intend, design, or resolve to God’s will and maintain their salvation, which is a free gift of God through faith in Jesus Christ our Lord.

These are people who are positively influenced and responsive to 2 Timothy 2:15, people who are diligent or studious to present themselves—approved to God, workers not ashamed, rightly dividing the Word of Truth—and folks who testify that, according to 1 Corinthians 1:18 and Romans 1:16–17, the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved, it is the power of God.

Also, we are not ashamed of the Gospel of Jesus Christ because it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek. In it, the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith, that is, faith leading to faith because it is written that the just shall live by faith.

In the near future, look for the extraordinary life-giving introduction of The Prominence of Man’s Existence: His Origin, Structure, Function, and Destiny from a Biblical Perspective Volume II with the same fact-based compelling and comprehensible reading agility as Volume I.”

Published by Christian Faith Publishing, McClaurin’s new book is a vivid explanation about man being distinctly manifested, created in the image of God, projected beyond the mere surface of the earth in God’s sight, held in high esteem by God, and being made to exist, to have being, to be, to continue to be, and to live forever.

This book prompts the readers to remain conscious or mindful of their deeds or characteristics or activities that they are of moral character.

According to Peterkin, “Visiting, working, or leisure time at any public or private conference can lead to the observation of women from all walks of faith. Each dealing with everyday issues of life. The first trait you will notice is their smile. Next is their characteristics. They are a dynasty of peculiar women connected to one—God.”

Their attributes are all the same. Those attributes are the fruit of the spirit. Their outside beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Their inner beauty is adorned with the ornament of God’s light. They are blessed. They are more valuable than rubies. They are anointed with the power of God to handle all trials and tribulations that their life journey retained them in. Women are born with this ornament; however, for it to be enhanced, she must transform her thinking and give her life to God to receive the full rewards of his kingdom. Read how these attributes are obtained.
