How far will God go to win your heart?

He will climb every mountain, cross every ocean, and tear down every wall of pride to reach the heart that has forgotten Him. Through the love of Jesus Christ and the mercy of the Holy Spirit, broken hearts are healed, and lost souls are redeemed. 

In Seven Spirits, the Creator’s love takes living form, the Fear of the Lord that restores holy awe, Revelation that opens blind eyes, Counsel that corrects, Power and Might that strengthen, Wisdom that comforts, and Understanding that heals. Each Spirit reveals a side of God’s relentless pursuit of the human soul. 

Ariel “Ari” Keshet, a brilliant CEO and world-class mountaineer, has spent his life mastering control of empires, people, and even his own image. Faith, to him, is weakness. But when a mountain expedition ends in disaster, Ari faces a negotiation unlike any other, one where money, status, and pride mean nothing. Drawn into a supernatural journey of revelation and redemption, he encounters forces greater than Wall Street, and far more personal. 

Two women challenge his heart: one of deep faith who sees the man he could become, and one from his past, the perfect match in every worldly way. Between them lies the choice that will decide his eternity. 

Filled with mystical supernatural encounters, corporate drama, forbidden romance, and divine humor, Seven Spirits is an unforgettable adventure of faith, redemption, and the overwhelming love of God.

Imagine encountering the Seven Spirits of God, the very ones described in the Holy Scriptures. What would they look like? How would you respond?

Hardback - Christian Children's Book, Psalm 23

We gladly introduce Popcorn to you, a curious little lamb that lives with a flock of sheep protected by the Shepherd. He is white and fluffy and resembles the favored snack. He is a great observer and questions everything. Although life is good for Popcorn and his family, he begins to become discontent and bored. He starts to question if there is a better place for him to live...another place with more adventure and excitement. Maybe somewhere away from the same flock of sheep that he grew up with. But the question is, does different mean better? Popcorn makes his dashing move in search of greener pastures only to find extreme danger! Will Popcorn be rescued before it's too late? Will Popcorn have a happy ending? Inspired by Psalm 23, we invite you to watch and see Popcorn in action! Your heart will be touched by reading and sharing this story with the children in your life.

What happens when Popcorn forgets to watch after Caramel, the new baby lamb?
He is clueless about the dangers as she wanders into many jams.
How does the Shepherd help save the day?
His Goodness and Mercy are sent on the way!

Popcorn continues with his adventures as he meets Caramel. The Shepherd gives Popcorn the job of showing Caramel around the pastures, but though Popcorn takes the job seriously, he ignores where Caramel wanders off. Luckily, The Shepherd has assigned his faithful dogs – Goodness and Mercy – to watch over them. Based on Psalms 23, this story will warm your heart.

Hardback - Christian Children's Book/ Farm Animals 

What happens when a goat so silly and bright,
Joins gentle Popcorn from morning to night?
Salty just wants to skip, play, and run,
But shy little Popcorn thinks that’s no fun!

When hurt feelings grow and tempers flare,
The Good Shepherd reminds them to love and care.
With kindness and courage, they learn in the end,
A sorry heart can make the best friend!
