Books410: Wild At Heart
Book: Paperback105 x 175mm272 pagesISBN 9780785266941RM 10.00Books For Life Helping men rediscover their masculine heart, this guide to understanding Christian manhood and Christian men offers a refreshing break from the chorus of voices urging men to be more responsible, reliable, dutiful...and dead. "God designed men to be dangerous," says John Eldredge. Simply look at the dreams and desires written in the heart of every boy: To be a hero, to be a warrior, to live a life of adventure and risk. Sadly, most men abandon those dreams and desires-aided by a Christianity that feels like nothing more than pressure to be a "nice guy." It is no wonder that many men avoid church, and those who go are often passive and bored to death. In this provocative book, Eldredge gives women a look inside the true heart of a man and gives men permission to be what God designed them to be-dangerous, passionate, alive, and free.

Books410: Half-Time
A thought provoking book for anyone who desires to live a meaningful life! 
Book: Paperback105 x 182mm272 pagesISBN 9780310257790RM 10.00Books For Life WHAT IS HALF TIME? Our life is like a football game where there is a First Half and a Second Half.
If in the First Half, we play hard to score goals, at Half Time, we take a break to reflect on our success and to strategise our game for the Second Half. Similarly in life, many people arrive at mid-life having achieved some measure of success and wondering how they should live in their Second Half.
The accolades of success cannot silence their soul's yearning for significance. Bob Buford calls this stage of life "Half-Time", and those who search for significance he aptly calls "Halftimers".
Listening to the Gentle Whisper (pp. 25, 26) "Then a great and powerful wind tore the mountains apart and shattered the rocks
before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind. After the wind there was an
earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake. After the earthquake came a
fire, but the Lord was not in the fire. And after the fire came a gentle
whisper." 1 Kings 19:11b-12
"I have not always paid attention to my life. To be honest, I only began paying close attention when I reached my early forties and found myself in a success panic. I was the president and CEO of a tremendously successful cable television company. I was fully engaged in a good and growing marriage. We had a son who was — there's no more appropriate way to say it — a prize. And, of course, there was something gnawing at me. How was it that I could be so successful, so fortunate, and yet so frustratingly unfulfilled. I knew perfectly well what I believed about business strategies and practices, family relationships, and the importance of friends. But I had not decided how I was going to reconcile all of these competing interests. And, as for the most important issue of all, my life of faith, I knew what I believed, but I didn't really know what I planned to do about what I believed. It was then that I started to wrestle with what I wanted out of the second half of my life." -Bob Buford- Half Time is under our Value Buy offer.
