By Eric Poirot
Imagine being one of Jesus’s disciples on the Friday He was crucified. Imagine their pain, horror, and despair. How did they survive the worst day of their lives? How does a mother keep her faith as she holds her bedridden child’s hand while the days turn into weeks and the weeks into months? How does an out-of-work man stay strong when it seems like every single job in the world is filled but the bills keep coming? All of us find ourselves in the waiting room of life at some point, wondering how we are going to live through a loss—of our health, of a loved one, of a job, of our marriage. What About Saturday? looks at the day between the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus, the time between tragedy and triumph. Although we spend a lot of our lives in “Saturday,” reeling in shock and waiting desperately for a resurrection experience, we can use this time to learn and grow. The Bible does not tell us much about that Saturday. In fact, there are only two direct references to it, for a total of seven verses. But those seven verses, when viewed with other verses throughout the Bible, hold a great deal of wisdom and a tremendous amount of healing and hope. Here you will find a close examination of those passages and discover how you can use your Saturdays to grow even closer to God and learn about His will for you.

By Pamela Bowers
Trapped in the worst way possible—bleeding, raw, and angry, the frightened wild dog is confronted by a stranger who takes her in. This kind individual replaces the dog’s constant chaos, pain, and fear with lessons of trust and love. Have you been ensnared by past or current pain? Is it actually possible to find new light in the experiences of trauma that are common to all of us at various points in our lives? Can the aftermath of a physical or emotional shipwreck actually contain shards of truth and bring restoration to broken hearts and minds? In Diamond in Darkness, author Pamela Bowers uses the story of the journey of a dog, Man, and a few friends, along with personal experiences and biblical references to help readers find a way out of pain and into a new life. Viewing pain from a different perspective can be the first step to a place of peace, refreshment, and new joy. When mired in the darkness, it can be almost impossible to envision a time when one feels safe and happy. But, as readers of Diamond in Darkness, healing can take place. As Man says, “The best healing takes place when mind and heart work together in the task.”

Little Lawrence isn’t the most accomplished angel in Heaven. He wants to do well, but his halo doesn’t fit right, and he doesn’t know how to use his wings. He spends his days sitting on the steps that lead to the throne of God, hoping to run into the Archangel Michael. If he could just meet Michael, maybe he could become a messenger of God, too. Until then, he sits and waits for his big break. On Earth, Mary has just lost her little brother. She used to call him “Butter,” because she could never quite say “brother.” Now, Butter has died. Mary promised God she would always protect her little brother, and she feels she has failed. The loss of Butter makes Mary angry with God. She refuses to talk to Him; instead, she is miserable, never once turning her face to Heaven in prayer. Is it possible little Lawrence has found his mission? Does Michael trust the tiny angel with the crooked halo enough to send him on such an important journey? Mary is so young to have already given up on God. It’s not going to be easy for Lawrence, but he may be her only hope. As he gives his all to becoming a true messenger of God, he must hurry and save little Mary … before it’s too late.

Pastor Jeff Moore shares inspiring, humorous, and heartbreaking stories in this collection of tales he has gathered over more than twenty-three years of officiating at funerals.
On a number of occasions, he officiates at the funerals of strangers, which can lead to some strange circumstances. He has a hard time keeping a straight face, for example, when a woman who sees the smiling corpse of her husband is convinced he looks so happy because he just had a beer in heaven with John Wayne. While on a short-term mission trip in Kenya, Moore witnessed powerful customs that touched his heart. He presided over a ceremony for a twelve-year-old girl, and the villagers are honored to have the missionary honor their deceased loved one.
In addition to anecdotes, Moore also shares guidelines for conducting funerals, tips on working with funeral homes and advice on handling unusual requests from families.
If you’re a minister seeking to improve your work at officiating funerals, this guidebook can help you honor the deceased and share God’s message. Funeral directors, grieving survivors, and grief specialists will also enjoy the inspiring stories and religious wisdom shared in Till Death Do Us Part.
