Soar: Uplifting quotes for those who need hope, a hug, or a high- five.

In a world that’s often filled with words of hatred and scenes of terror and conflict, there is a bright light that shines for us all—a beacon to guide us through the darkness.

Motivated by her own reaction to the daily acts of violence and tragedy seen around the world, author Emily Talkow was moved to write a book based on what gives her comfort during difficult, disheartening times: inspirational quotes.

There’s no instructional manual on how to navigate the highs and lows of life. It’s easy to focus on the negatives that surround us and forget about all of the beauty in the world—and most importantly, in others.

Quotes are a source of encouragement and spiritual medicine for Talkow, and in Soar, she spreads this love and hope to the masses. Soar is a ray of sunshine on a cloudy day, offering hope and inspiration to anyone who needs it.

Practicing Affirmation: God-Centered Praise of Those Who Are Not God

It happens in marriages, parent-child relationships, friendships, workplaces, and churches: Communication falters, friendships wane, teenagers withdraw, marriages fail, and bitter rifts sever once-strong ties. Christian communities are no exception. Why do so many of our relationships suffer from alienation, indifference, and even hostility?  

Author Sam Crabtree believes that often at the heart of these breakdowns is a lack of affirmation. He observes in Scripture that God grants mercy to those who refresh others, and in life that people tend to be influenced by those who praise them. Crabtree shows how a robust “God-centered affirmation ratio” refreshes others and honors God.

 

Practicing Affirmation sounds a call to recognize and affirm the character of Christ in others. When done well, affirmation does not fuel pride in the person, but refreshes them and honors God. All who are discouraged in relationships will find wisdom and practical insight in this book.
