Changing Stories

Evangelism & Missions

“When confronted with the immense scope of the current migration crisis, it is easy to become overwhelmed and hopeless. Changing Stories provides a fresh vision and deeper motivation for Christians to become personally involved in the lives and stories of the refugees that God has placed around us. This book reminds us that our response to this crisis depends not only on Christian compassion but also on obedience to God’s commands. In addition, by sharing the personal stories of refugees and those who welcome them, Jairo shows how this feeling of hopelessness can be turned to joy in seeing God write a new chapter in the lives of both refugees and volunteers. We have been blessed to see the way that God has used Jairo and his family in the lives of refugees here in Columbia, South Carolina, and we look forward to seeing how God will use this practical and timely book to spur on his church!”

Help in a Hurry

Christian Living

“In these turbulent and stressful times, Help in a Hurry lets us know that true, simple, and effective tools are available. Many in today’s world are struggling daily to navigate life’s messiness and chaos, too often experiencing anxiousness, overwhelm, energy drain, and stress-related physiological symptoms. This book is filled with practical tips and tools, which when applied simply and briefly—yet consistently— consistently—will result in gradual change into a life of increasing inner calm. Small, steady steps according to these practical strategies offer a way through and a way out of inner turmoil, self-hatred, and living focused on the past or future. We can learn not to regret the past nor wish to shut the door on it; we can also gradually learn to not get stuck in ‘future tripping’ that sabotages our living in the today we each have been given. Progress, not perfection, is the goal. Thank you, Dr. Leaf, for bringing us yet another actionable, evidence-based, and timely book!”
