Haven't yet found that perfect Christmas gift?

This time of year is the season when all of us begin to ponder the question:

What am I going to get __________ for Christmas?

Given the economy the way it is and where it looks like it could be going, giving a simple gift that could become timeless and one which ___________ will use again and again, I believe that now is the time to get your copy(ies) of one or both of these books.

As a reminder, Walking Forward - Discoveries in Freedom and Forgiveness are real-life stories where God showed up in every day life and taught me, Arden, about what it means to live in freedom, what it means to live in forgiveness, what it means to live in relationship with the living God, Jesus.

And then we have The Senders which is a very unique compilation of many different people's stories of how they partner with and support those on various mission fields across the globe. They are honest, giving the good, the bad, the ugly and the beautiful experiences they have had as they have SENT others into the harvest fields!

I am happy to send you autographed copies of either or both if you want to have them personalized for Christmas. Contact me at tmhunarden@gmail.com

Here's an interesting video...all the more reason to read Walking Forward

Recent feedback on Walking Forward

Last weekend at a conference, I met some women from Wichita, KS. I felt compelled to give them copies of my book, Walking Forward - Discoveries in Freedom and Forgiveness.

Today, I received a thank you note from one of them. In it she wrote:

"Arden, I really like your writing style. I love the stories of your cats, Toby and Simon, and I am definitely pondering the questions at the end of each chapter, really thinking about them before I move on to the next chapter. Thank you."

I'm always surprised when people say they like the book; I guess that shows I still need more freedom!

Forgive and forget?

We've often heard it said, "Forgive and forget". Some say, "I can forgive, but I will never forget."

I think there is truth in both postures. Some things are easy to forget; others, well, I'm not sure we should forget. For safety purposes, you may not want to forget that someone is a known abuser and so you want to take care with yourself and others when around that person.

Interestingly, in my journey of forgiveness, I have re-visited a number of memories from my childhood where there was a great deal of pain and I've had to forgive. Previous to the Lord breaking in and healing those areas of pain by replacing the lies I chose to believe with His Truths, my remembering of those events brought back much of the pain or sorrow connected with the event. Now, however, after experiencing God's truth in those places, when I remember the event, there is no pain, sorrow or trauma. I have not forgotten the events or memories, but now, as a result of walking out forgiveness and allowing God to speak His Truths, I have peace in those memories.

Maybe you too need to start the journey of forgiveness. Walking Forward is a great place to begin.

Missionary blessings

One of the visions I believe the Lord gave me regarding my second book, The Senders, is that missionaries would be able to bless their SENDERS with a copy of it.

A couple of weeks ago, I ran into a friend of mine who is an intercessory missionary at the International House of Prayer in Kansas City. He and his wife were my small group leaders when I went through an internship there called Intro to IHOP. He said he wanted to buy copies of The Senders to give to some of their partners in ministry. Of course I told him I would give him a special price on the books since he is a missionary himself. What happened blew me away.

Zack emailed me and said he wanted to pay double what I was asking for each book. I told him that was not necessary, but he insisted, saying that he felt I should make some money off of the book. As challenging as it is for me to receive, I did so, thanking him, and blessed him for his generosity.

I am always amazed by those missionaries who turn out to be generous givers; then again, isn't that the heart of our Papa God?

If you would like your copy (or copies) of The Senders, you can contact me or click on one of the links to the right. My prayer is that all who read it will be encouraged to sow into God's Kingdom with prayers and finances so that the love of Jesus can go forth through His people.

So, I end this entry with a big shout-out blessing to Zack and Holli...thank you, and bless you and those who are your SENDERS!

Feedback on Walking Forward

The phone rang on Saturday night and when I picked it up, my precious missionary friend to Bulgaria was on the other end of the line. As I type this, they are on an airplane on their way to that side of the globe to serve the King of Kings and help people put their hands into the hands of Jesus!

In the course of our conversation, my friend said to me: "Arden, I love your book Walking Forward! Wow, I simply couldn't put it down! I love stories and how God speaks to us through everyday events. That's how I often hear Him speaking, so reading your stories encouraged me that yes, I do hear from God in everyday situations. I passed it on to my sister; I think she will be really encouraged by your journey."

So, I rejoice because one more person is Walking Forward into the arms of Jesus, closer to His heart! Hallelujah!

Cool experience

My husband, Paul, and I were waiting for the train from Zagreb to Budapest this summer on our honeymoon when we met a fellow American on the platform. We struck up a conversation with this lovely lady and ended up traveling in the same car together for the ever-so-long, sweltering trip to Hungary's capital city!

Our friend showed interest in my book, Walking Forward-Discoveries in Freedom and Forgiveness, and in the end, requested 10 copies for her life-group with whom she meets each week. I had a blast praying over each person's name in her group and writing notes in each of their books; it turns out that God's words for each of them were very encouraging! Hallelujah!

My newest book, The Senders, is also getting good reviews. A fellow missionary here at the International House of Prayer has blessed me by buying 10 of them above the list price so he can bless his SENDERS!

My prayer has been and continues to be that many will be encouraged in their walks with the Lord, and His Kingdom will go forth through these tools! You can find both books at the link to the right side of this blog, or write to me for personalized signed copies.

Hope amidst devastation

One of the unique characteristics of this book, Walking Forward, is that it shows how God shows up in everyday circumstances, positive or negative. He is truly the God of all of life.

As we see the devastation in Joplin, MO, where a tornado swept through killing over 100 people and leaving 1000s homeless, one might ask, "How does one see God in all of this?" I say that He is there and He is not silent. I look forward to hearing the stories from those who declare that in the midst of everything, God showed up and saved, healed, delivered and provided.

This book has stories which do the same--declaring the goodness of God in the best of times and in the worst of times. If you need encouragement today, write me to get your copy of Walking Forward and you too will experience increasing freedom and intimacy with the God of all of life!

Where the world is headed!

If Scripture is true, then we are coming to a time when there will be great offense across the globe, nation vs. nation, people vs. people, individual vs. individual. The only answer to offense is forgiveness...if you forgive, you will be forgiven; if you do not forgive, you will not be forgiven. Why not get your copy today and get some tools in your toolbelt for what is coming?

It's getting out there!!!

A friend of mine texted me last night and said: "Arden, I am using a quotation from your book in my sermon." I'm humbled...God, let it hit people's hearts with all the power You intend it to have, so that You bring transformation to lives!

The latest feedback

A friend recently sent me an email saying she'd already finished Walking Forward - Discoveries in Freedom and Forgiveness, after only having received it one week ago!

Her words: "It's wonderful! Can you please send me two more copies? I want to give them to two friends."

This indeed is my prayer...that people will read it, the Lord will move in their hearts to give it to others who need the message of forgiveness and freedom!

If you want your own copy, you can get it at www.xulonpress.com or Amazon.com

Or you can write to me and I'll send you an autographed copy! :-)

Blessings on all of those who have bought and read it and been changed by it!

First, thank you to all of you who have already purchased your copy of Walking Forward. I pray you have been blessed and are walking closer to Jesus than you ever have before.

Here is the latest feedback I received from a dear friend of mine:

The latest: "Arden, I was reading your book out loud to my son's girlfriend. She called me in hysterics and I suggested I read to her. Within 20 minutes of reading, she was completely calm." It's testimonies like this one that cause my heart to leap with joy, knowing the God of the universe is touching hearts through this message!
