Did you know that Mother's Day is second behind Valentine's Day for individual greeting card sales? Why is that? Because of the special role God has given mothers in ministering to each of us. Whether in a traditional home or as a single parent, the responsibility of raising children brings great challenges and rewards. To help in addressing these challenges, the library has some great resources, such as "Have a New Kid by Friday" and "Creative Correction." As much as we love our kids, there are times when all parents need help. So remember, that the library may have just what you need.
There are many of you that are such good prayer warriors. I am asking that you keep our Nicaragua Mission Team in your prayers. The team may have the "Feet to Go," but it is through your prayers that God will bring Kingdom success. Pray that the team's health and safety and that many will see Christ in us and receive Christ themselves. Many of the team members are young and I am sure that the Lord will use this opportunity to change their lives as well. My prayer is that the Lord will instill in each one of them a passion to reach the lost and that passion will give them "Feet to Go" around the world for Him.
In Service to Christ,
Marty Woodall

| Samantha Crawford (Lynn Collins, John Carter) is living a storybook life. That is, until her husband is killed in a senseless act of violence, causing her to lose her faith and her will to live. But will a death-defying encounter with two children---and a reunion with her childhood best friend, Joe Bradford (Michael Ealy, Common Law)---bring things into proper perspective again? Unconditional is inspired by true events. Dove approved (12+). Rated PG-13. Approx. 98 minutes. | ||

Dove approved. Approx. 93 minutes. | ||

Defeating the Idols that Battle for Your Heart by Kyle Idleman |
||
 |
||
|
There may be no wooden or golden idols in your home, such as the ancient Israelites struggled with, but chances are, there are significant idols in your heart. These idols can look like normal, everyday concerns about security, financial stability, desire for attention or affection, but can easily become the ugly reality of anxiety, greed, and seeking approval of man, rather than God. In Gods at War, Kyle Idleman addresses the issue of idolatry in the lives of believers by asking insightful questions that will help you determine which false gods are striving to sit on the throne of your heart. By sharing true and powerful testimonies of those who have struggled with the idols of money, sex, success, food and romance, Idleman clears away the cultural baggage of the 21st century to expose these gods for what they are--rivals to our unhindered devotion to Christ. Discover the freedom that awaits you when you allow the true God to reside unchallenged in your heart and life. |

A Call to Die. A Call to Live David Platt |
||
 |
||

What did you leave behind when you chose to follow Christ? For some, the answers are obvious. If you struggled with habitual sins or addictions like alcoholism, drugs, pornography, violence, or promiscuity, the choice to follow Christ often marks a distinct ending of your old life and beginning of a new one. Or, perhaps you grew up in a culture unfriendly to Christianity, where your conversion would mean instant alienation from friends and family, maybe even a threat to your life. In these situations, the cost of following Christ seems clear. But what if you didn't have a dramatic life-changing encounter with Christ? What if you've always grown up in the church and been immersed in Christian culture your whole life? What does it mean for you to count the cost and follow Him? In Radical:Taking Back Your Faith from the American Dream, David Platt sought to expose the ideas in American Christianity that are antithetical to the gospel, to show what we must let go of in true discipleship. In Follow Me: A Call to Die. A Call to Live., Platt seeks to show whom we must take hold of. In order to live as authentic disciples, Platt believes we need an authentic encounter with the person of Jesus Christ, who He is, what that means, and to count the cost of truly following Him. Look afresh at the invitation Jesus offers, and discover perhaps for the first time, the joy and purpose that comes from abandoning your life to His. |

Alabama Baptist Convention State Board of Missions We are blessed here in Alabama. There are states where church libraries do not have the support of their State Baptist Board of Missions, and because of that do not have the organization that we do. Some states have discontinued their state library workshops. We have a great support system here in Alabama from people like Mike Jackson in the Discipleship & Family Ministries at our State Board of Missions. Be sure to check their website often to keep up with all that is going on in your organization. The website is www.alsbom.org.
