Holiday gift ideas!

As many holidays fast approach, I know that people are faced with this question:  

What should I get for ________?

If you are anything like me, you have been facing financial challenges this past year, and gift giving is becoming a creative adventure.  Well, I'd love to make things a bit easier for you, regardless of the holiday you are celebrating.

First, I'd love to offer autographed copies of each of my books at a special holiday discount price.  

Walking Forward - Discoveries in Freedom and Forgiveness retails through Xulon Press at $14.99 plus shipping.  You can get it through some online resources for about $11.49 plus shipping.  I would love to offer it to anyone out there for $10.00 INCLUDES SHIPPING.

The Senders retails for $7.50 plus shipping through Amazon.com.  I'd love to offer it to everyone for $6.00 INCLUDES SHIPPING.  

SPECIAL OFFER FOR BOTH:  $15.00 Includes shipping!

In addition, there is an amazing author who is writing a series of novels and short stories based on the life of biblical David and his mighty fighting men, and I want to plug his books as well.  They are gritty, powerful, real, and definitely not your "soft" Christian novels, but rather the in-your-face-with-reality sorts of stories, bringing the Bible to life again, not exclusively for men, but especially for them.  I cannot personally offer any holiday discounts, but here is the link to find the books as well as other gifts:  LION OF WAR SERIES

Contact me through my blog by leaving a comment if you want to order a book or books.  

May you rest in the presence of His peace, which passes all understanding!

Endorsement for my book, The Senders

My dear sister in the Lord, and friend, Linda Valen of Master Potter Ministries, has written a wonderful endorsement of my book, The Senders. Read it below:

The Senders

By Arden Czaszewicz

Endorsement by Linda Valen

The Senders is a unique approach to missions that peers into the hearts and minds of those who pray and give to missionaries! We tend to focus on the heroes who have left everything to live in a different culture, walk by faith, and are called to preach the Gospel. But who thinks about the often unsung heroes behind the scenes who help to send missionaries through their financial gifts and prayers? What motivates them to give and why and what do they value as The Senders? This is a must read book for anyone raising finances and prayer support to do missions work! It reveals many keys that are shared through the eyes of those who help to make mission work possible! Some of you may become The Senders after reading this book because your heart has been impacted and challenged. It is well worth your time to read this engaging book to find out what makes these valuable partners do what they do and why!

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!

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.
