God answers prayers. Jennifer Sands believed that. When she prayed for professional advancement, she got it. When she prayed for a mortgage approval, it came. When she prayed that her terminally ill brother be allowed to live, he was. When she prayed that her husband, Jim, return home safely from work, he always did. On September 11, 2001, Jim Sands was killed in the collapse of the World Trade Center. On that day, Jennifer's world imploded, and she suffered the first blows of a pounding spiritual firestorm that threatened to poison her faith and suffocate her relationship with God. Why would God answer her prayers for Jim's safety this way? Why would God send Jim to her as a soul mate only to rip him away in the prime of his life? Had God stopped listening? Had He stopped caring? Had they done something to deserve this? Book jacket.

Jennifer’s life drastically changed on 9/11 when her husband was killed in the World Trade Center attacks. She was not a believer in Christ before then; God used that tragedy to bring forth her salvation and a writing and speaking ministry. God continued His work through her when her life changed again in 2007 as she was diagnosed with breast cancer. In A Treasured Faith, Jennifer candidly shares her heart and her struggles with treatments. But A Treasured Faith goes far beyond a battle with cancer: it is the treasure that results from our joys and our trials. It is the wealth discovered when we dig deep enough into the Bible and into our soul. It confirms the truth that the most valuable riches are obtained through a close relationship with Jesus Christ. Jennifer’s first book, A Tempered Faith, details her emotional and spiritual journey after the terrorist attacks. In her second book, A Teachable Faith, she passes on the lessons and Biblical truths that God has taught her. This third book, A Treasured Faith, completes the “ATF Trilogy”. Readers will be astounded at the rapid progression of Jennifer’s spiritual growth and Biblical understanding since 9/11. Jennifer Sands, a dynamic Christian author and speaker has received extensive media coverage including featured appearances on The 700 Club, Hour of Power, Moody Bible Radio, Homelife magazine cover story and many others media outlets.

Christian Book Award Finalist What type of leadership is needed in a moment that demands adaptive change? Tod Bolsinger, author of Canoeing the Mountains, is uniquely positioned to explore the qualities of adaptive leadership in contexts ranging from churches to nonprofit organizations. He deftly examines both the external challenges we face and the internal resistance that holds us back. Bolsinger writes: "To temper describes the process of heating, holding, hammering, cooling, and reheating that adds stress to raw iron until it becomes a glistening knife blade or chisel tip." When reflection and relationships are combined into a life of deliberate practice, leaders become both stronger and more flexible. As a result, these resilient leaders are able to offer greater wisdom and skill to the organizations they serve. Also available: Tempered Resilience Study Guide
