Hilliard's Proverbs: Inspired by Experienceby Jack Hilliard
ISBN: 978-0-9912792-0-3
“Age should speak, and multitude of years should teach wisdom…but it is the inspiration of the Almighty that gives man understanding.” Job 7-8
Wisdom is not the automatic outcome of age, and maturity is not a given as we grow. But when we are willing to open ourselves to the Lord’s life lessons, we will find a perception, prudence, and practicality worth sharing with others.
In this book, we are given the valuable advice of a man who has been a missionary, preacher, hard-worker, gardener, author, son, father, grandfather, great-grandfather—all in one. A man who calls his life blessed, not because it has been sorrow-free, but because it has been God-filled. And because of his openness to God’s perspective, he is able to give us countless counsel in this alphabetized list of Hilliard's Proverbs Inspired by Experience.
Pain and Suffering: Friend or Foe?by Jack Hilliard
with illustrations by Jennifer Savage Britton
ISBN 0-9800285-0-7
“In many cases, whether or not pain is a friend or foe depends on our outlook on life. We can think of it as a privilege or drudgery. We look at everything that happens from some point of view. If we conclude all is bad, then no matter what happens we will see every experience in a bad connotation. If life is seen as a privilege, then this optimistic view can put a good spin on even our problems, disappointments, and suffering. If optimistic vision allows us to think of the future and others, we may be able to see past our brief pain to the possible good result. The future will be brighter, and the load will be lighter.”
In his seventh book, Jack Hilliard uses scripture, personal experiences, and a lifetime of study to explore the connection between suffering and blessing, pain and progress. Have you experienced hurt? The goal of this book is to help you see past your misery into God’s goodness and peace.

These Things I Pray for You:
My Child
by Jessa R. Sexton
eBook
This book lays out the characteristics I pray my children will have, exploring each characteristic by defining it, investigating it scripturally, showing how it should be present in my children, and then praying for it.
As I began to think about the characteristics and blessings I pray for my children, I realized that a knowledge of the word and of The Word—what the dictionary and others say about the word’s meaning and intent, and what God’s Scriptures say—would make my prayers deeper, give better direction to my hopes. So this study creates that direction to a mother’s prayers.
As a mom, I know the clash between the desire to be in God’s Word and the desire to fulfill the motherly-myriad of other demands. I like to read devotional books, but a couple of items are important to me. First of all, I want a length that is daily-doable. But, at the same time, I want something with depth. I also want strong scriptural references that will make me think about my walk. And I do like it when a reading leads me into prayer time.
This book meets my personal needs on all those levels, and I know, from talking to other mothers, that these needs aren’t only mine. This book revolves around two of the most important things in my life: my children and my God, connecting the two as I bring my children and their future before the One who told me to ask, and it will be given (Matthew 7:7).
