"This book doesn't tiptoe around the topic of suffering, but hits head-on the hardest questions we have about the goodness of God and the problem of suffering. Juli's story will shake you as well as inspire you!"
- Joni Eareckson Tada"As I closed the cover on this book, only one day after beginning, it struck me that this is undoubtedly one of the best books I've read so far this year. I simply can't recommend Polishing God's Monuments too highly. I wholeheartedly agree with Bruce Ware who writes, "To enter into this theological reflection on suffering is to accept the challenge to grow deeply in Christ, and to cherish the sure and certain promise of the gospel." This book gripped my heart and helped me cherish the promises of the gospel like few books I've read recently."

Easy to carry, search through, and make notes.
Here's a fact.Angry, unmotivated, and disinterested teens, whether Christian or not, are confused, insecure, and often blind to everything except what they want right now. Their desires and actions have been corrupted and polluted by sin. That's why they have a problem.
Here's another fact.
Angry, unmotivated, and disinterested teens, whether Christian or not, are made in the image of God. This means that beneath their corrupted desires and actions the image of God remains. That's the key to dealing with their problem.
Far from dismissing or sugar-coating sin, this approach opens wide the door to evangelizing the unsaved teen and to helping the Christian teen grow in holiness and wisdom. This book will teach you how to build a bridge to young adults on the basis of the ways in which their desires and actions reflect the image of God and the blessing of common grace.

About Us
This unique web site is our way of encouraging you
in your Christian walk. It is our way to say, "Press on. Keep running the race.
There are joys, unspeakable and glorious in this life, and a crown of
righteousness in the life to come." In addition to our online book store, you
will find numerous articles from our staff and authors, and a regularly updated
blog that will provide a forum for ongoing discussion of issues of parenting
and Christian living.
Shepherd Press is committed to provide God's
people with solid biblical books and materials. There are tons of Christian
self-help books available. Sadly, many books, containing tips and good ideas
for Christian living, leave the reader unsatisfied. The resources on this web site have two
qualities that make them unique and spiritually satisfying. (1) They focus on
heart issues rather than performance issues. We all know that it is possible to
master some Christian performance skills without experiencing internal change.
We long for authentic change that works from the inside out. The resources you
will find here focus on the "abundance of the heart", not just performance. (2)
The material you will find here maintain the centrality of the gospel. The
gospel is richer than simply knowing my sins are forgiven and I am going to
heaven (as indescribably wonderful as that is). The message of the gospel
includes not just forgiveness of sin, but also radical, internal transformation
and empowerment to live in the ways God calls us to live.
At Shepherd Press we look for materials that serve
both of these ends. They will enable us to identify the idols of the heart that
pollute our service to Christ, keeping us mired in confusion, unable to obey
God. They will also encourage us that we can "do all things through Christ who
gives [us] strength." Remember the gospel is for Christians. We daily repent
and cast ourselves on the abundant grace of Jesus Christ.
It is our prayer and expectation that the things
you find here will help you identify and respond to areas of personal and
family need with the certain hope of grace and empowerment from God.
