Parents of Type 1 Diabetic children can use all of the comfort they can get. Some of these ebooks contain stories of what God and His Holy Spirit have done for others. Some contain ways that can help you find God's peace for your own lives. God, His Holy Spirit, and Christ Jesus are a big part of the lives of my family and myself.

I offer these books to you in the hope that you may find some comfort for your lives and the lives of your families. Please feel free to download any or all of these ebooks. Share them with your friends and family. Send them to anyone you know whose heart is heavy. I will be adding to this page as I find other sources of inspiration and comfort for you and your families as you continue to learn to live with diabetes.

God bless you all.

Sex, God and Marriage

Unlike the vast majority of "marriage books," Sex, God, and Marriage digs deeper than the usual "issues" and goes to the root: our relationship with God, and the defining power of that relationship over all others in our lives. Arnold addresses the deep pain resulting from the cycle of broken relationships and the misuse of sexual intimacy. His words offer healing, a new beginning, and a sense of hope to those who have experienced discouragement or failure.

Includes chapters on sex, alternatives to dating, parenthood, singleness, homosexuality, abortion, divorce and remarriage. Sex, God, and Marriage carries a Foreword by Mother Teresa and was formerly titled A Plea for Purity .

She Said Yes
The powerful New York Times bestseller

In the years that have passed since the Columbine High School massacre of April 1999, almost everyone seems to have heard of Cassie Bernall, the student who, after affirming her belief in God, was shot and killed by two crazed classmates. She answered with a Yes - and that single word echoed around the globe.

Jesus Is The Victor

A controversial German pastor, Christoph Blumhardt (1842-1919) didn't care much for religion. His critique of Christianity touched a nerve that is still raw today. For him faith was a matter of fighting for God's kingdom, the victory of Christ over all injustice and suffering here on earth. Throughout his life, "Jesus is the victor!" was his battle cry. If you ever doubt that Jesus has power to change the world, or despair of seeing his victory come to fruition in your own personal life, you should read this book.

Prayer God Answers

Why should I pray? What should I pray for? Why has God not answered my prayers? What if everything we prayed for came true? Would I be ready? In this essay, Eberhard Arnold describes the kind of prayer that pleases God, and the power of prayer to transform our lives and our world.

Lift Thine Eyes

Children the world over are taught to say prayers at bedtime - but how many adults take time to turn to God at the end of the day? This collection of prayers is one of the few daily devotionals especially intended for use in the evening.

Endangered

A book for everyone who cares about children, Endangered will renew your confidence that no matter how great the odds, the love we give children is still the most decisive factor.

Every parent and educator wants to be more effective. Endangered shows them how, not by offering child-rearing tips, but by transforming the way they view children and empowering them to act on the innate wisdom they already possess.

Freedom From Sinful Thoughts

We don't talk about them , but all of us have them - private jealousies, resentments, fantasies, and temptations. For over two decades, Arnold's sensitive wisdom has helped thousands of readers battle these unwanted thoughts. Now his quiet but steady-selling little classic is available to a new generation in an expanded and revised new edition.

A Little Child Shall Lead Them

Parenting was never easy. In these times of cultural decline and moral confusion, it has only gotten harder. But what if parenthood is not just a duty but a privilege, and what if our children can draw us closer to God and each other?

Stories of the Sun

The stories we tell shape the way we view our world and our place in it. For people uncomfortable with religious language, but who still seek spiritual truth, legends and folklore can do what sermons and theological texts cannot: touch the heart in a natural but powerful way, without pious words.

Cries From the Heart

Cries from the Heart answers a specific hunger millions share - a longing for a personal connection to the divine. In times of crisis, all of us reach for someone,or something, greater than ourselves. Some call it prayer. Others just do it. For many, it's often like talking to a wall. People are looking for assurance that someone hears them when they cry out in their despair, loneliness, or frustration. The last thing they need is another book telling them how to pray or what to say, holding out religion like a good-luck charm.

So instead of theorizing or preaching, Johann Christoph Arnold tells stories about real men and real women dealing with adversity. Their difficulties - which range from extreme to quite ordinary and universal - resonate with readers, offering a challenge, but also comfort and encouragement. People will see themselves in these glimpses of anguish, triumph, and peace.

Action In Waiting

These seventeen essays give a fresh look at the spiritual life as "active expectation" of God's kingdom breaking into this world. This kingdom is no longer relegated to some afterlife, but takes effect today.

Now Is Eternity

A collection of seventy short but striking meditations to battle weariness and despair.

Thoughts On Children

It is sometimes said that each child is a thought in the mind of God. But even if we believe this, and approach the children entrusted to us with reverence, we may often feel helpless-whether in the face of a two-year-old’s tantrum or a teenager’s silence.
