    <![CDATA[Meditate on the Spiritual Significance of Marriage  <br/><br/>In the 20th Anniversary Edition of this Gold Medallion Award winner, Mike Mason goes on a poetic search to understand the wondrous dynamics of committed love. In highly readable, first-person style, Mason&rsquo;s writing stimulates readers&rsquo; thoughts and prayers and propels couples to deeper intimacy. “A marriage is not a joining of two worlds,” says the author, “but an abandoning of two worlds in order that one new one might be formed.” Rich chapters on “Otherness,” “Vows,” “Intimacy,” “Sex,” “Submission,” and an all-new chapter on “Oneness” lift readers to view the eternal, spiritual nature of this faith-filled, “impossible,” wild—yet wonderful—frontier.  <br/><br/><strong><em>“The two shall become one flesh. </em></strong> <br/><br/><strong><em>This is a great mystery.” </em></strong> <br/><br/>Ephesians 5:31&ndash;32  <br/><br/>Beautifully written and filled with life-transforming insights, the 20th anniversary edition of Mike Mason&rsquo;s unparalleled Gold Medallion winner explores the mystical and holy nature of marriage with a depth that will forever alter how a couple relates to each other—and to God.  <br/><br/><u>PULL OUT </u> <br/><br/><em>The Mystery of Marriage</em> stands out from how-to manuals on marriage as a refreshing how-come book—a brilliant celebration of the God-ordained union between man and wife.  <br/><br/>“An outstanding achievement. Rarely has a book aroused in me so much enthusiasm as has the combination of wisdom, depth, dignity, and glow that I find in these chapters.”  <br/><br/>J.I. Packer  <br/><br/>“Absolutely exquisite. It reaches down deep into our innermost being, revealing, revitalizing, rewarding. A real classic.”  <br/><br/>Gigi Graham Tchividjian  <br/><br/>“A drop everything book. Mason deals with the stunning paradoxes of the mystery, the problems, and the glories of marriage. I don&rsquo;t need to read any other book on the subject.”  <br/><br/>Elisabeth Elliot  <br/><br/><strong>Story Behind the Book</strong><br/><br/>“Over the twenty years since its publication, many couples have told me that they&rsquo;ve read my book aloud to each other. This always amazes me and gives me great joy. I&rsquo;m also amazed that many single people have read it. Either way, my goal is for hearts to be warmed by the mystery of divine love. I want couples to enter into deeper intimacy by thinking together about the <em>mystery of marriage</em>—about how their love, besides being a gift of God, reflects the very love He has for Himself in the Trinity. For God is not a bachelor, and throughout the Bible marriage is a supreme picture of the nature of God&rsquo;s love and of His kingdom. I want people who read my book to feel so soaked in these wonderful, divine mysteries that it deepens their reverence for marriage and inspires them to greater love.”]]>

    <![CDATA[In the deepest part of our hearts and souls is the desire to love well. Yet in our struggle to do so, we learn that, as Mike Mason puts it, &quot;We are not born with love; it is something we must learn.&quot; Now, in Practicing the Presence of People, he helps us launch that learning process. Mason points the way to fresh knowledge and fresh experience, showing how we can discover new things about those we love, understand them from the inside out, tenderly identify with their weaknesses, and celebrate that they too were lovingly made by the hand of God.]]>

    <![CDATA[<p>Anyone who has suffered knows that there is no such thing as &quot;getting a grip on oneself&quot; or &quot;pulling oneself up by the bootstraps. The only bootstrap in the Christian life is the Cross,&quot; says Mason. &quot;Sometimes laying hold of the cross can be comforting, but other times it is like picking up a snake.&quot;</p> <p>Job knew this firsthand. From him we learn that there are no easy answers to suffering. That the mark of true faith is not happiness, but rather, having one's deepest passions be engaged by the enormity of God. And through Job we learn the secret of the gospel: that &quot;mercy is the permission to be human.&quot; The Lord never gave Job an explanation for all he had been through. His only answer was Himself. But as Job discovered, that was enough.</p> <p><em>The Gospel According to Job</em> sensitively brings the reader to this realization, using a devotional commentary format that reminds them that it's all right to doubt, to be confused, to wonder--in short, to be completely human. But what will heal us and help us endure is a direct, transforming encounter with the living God.</p>]]>

Mike Mason has shaken me to the <br/>core of my soul--he knows me.&#8221; <br/><strong>--Brennan Manning, author of Ruthless Trust and The Ragamuffin Gospel</strong><br/><br/><br/>Just as Mike Mason&#8217;s best-selling <strong><em>The Mystery of Marriage</em></strong> explored the parallels between marriage and our relationship with God, so does <strong><em>The Mystery of Children</em></strong> illuminate key spiritual truths modeled in the complex parent-child relationship. More than a manual on parenting, this book is for everyone who wishes <br/>to become childlike in heart or to be closer to children--two desires that are intimately and wondrously entwined. <br/>]]>

    <![CDATA[<strong>You Can Be as Happy as You Make Up Your Mind to Be.</strong>  If you were given the chance to be happy for the rest of your life, wouldn&#8217;t you jump at it? In <em>Champagne for the Soul</em>, best-selling author Mike Mason explains that the Bible does make this offer. Yet most of us hang back, reluctant and skeptical. <br/><br/>Theologically most Christians will agree that the Bible teaches and offers a life of joy, yet deep down we&#8217;re not convinced that such a life is practical&#8212;for us, or for any ordinary person. But, says Mason, such joy truly is ours to claim and embrace. What you now hold in your hands is a call to throw off all worries and complaints and to &#8220;come and share your master&#8217;s happiness&#8221; (Matthew 25:21).<br/><br/>These pages, drawn from the author&#8217;s own 90-day experiment in actively pursuing joy, will lead you on a journey that will help you&#8212;no matter what your circumstances&#8212;to escape the traps of worry, fear, and dullness and grab hold of the joy of the Lord. ]]>

    <![CDATA[An orphan faces an evil magician in this literary fantasy for readers of all ages that probes the depths of good and evil.    <p>The life of ten-year-old Zac Sparks changes overnight when his mother is killed by lightning. He's sent to live in Five Corners with his Aunties, two cruel old hags who obviously don't like him. It isn't long before Zac knows something really strange is going on. Five Corners is populated with weird characters--a midget butler, a girl who doesn't speak, a blind balloon seller, and a mysterious singer who is heard but not seen. Then there's the Aunties' father, Dada. Zac's first encounter with Dada is so terrifying he faints dead away.    <p>The one bright spot is Sky Porter, the proprietor of the general store across the street, a friendly soul who encourages Zac--when the Aunties aren't looking--and shows him a kindness that is sadly lacking from his dismal life. But Sky isn't what he seems either, and when Zac learns Sky's amazing secret he realizes, to his dismay, that this wonderful man may have a very dark side as well.    <p>Discovering that Dada is an evil magician who has found a way to live forever, Zac  knows many lives are at stake, including his own. With time running out, he must turn to the one person who might be able to help: Sky Porter. Can Zac trust him?</p></p></p>]]>

    <![CDATA[Through this devotional study, the reader discovers that it is all right to doubt, be confused, get angry--in short, to be completely human. From Job we learn that the mark of true faith is not happiness; rather that one's deepest passsions are being engaged by the enormity of God. And through Job, we learn the secret of the gospel: &quot;mercy is the permission to be human.&quot;]]>
