- Health & Wellness - for all of us there comes a day when we realize we're not in a healthy condition anymore. So we look for ways to get healthy and remain so. The symptoms can be shortness of breath and wild heart beats while climbing a short set of stairs, or playing with the kids/grandkids in the backyard. Or even carrying those important groceries in for our spouse. We know it's time to get back the stamina and health we once had. And usually it starts by losing weigh, eating less and/or healthier foods, and getting more exercise that burns off the fat and cleans out the cholesterol clogging our arteries. At agorabooks we have dozen's of different kinds of diet, fitness, and wellness books in many different categories waiting to help you. You'll be happy you did. Stay Healthy, Live Long!

Valentine's & Love - once a year we humans pause in our busy schedules and make a special effort to express ourselves in some way outstanding with our loved ones and people we adore. We set aside Valentine's Day to honor that special loved one. A wife, a husband, a lover, a spouse, a help-meet, a friend, a companion, a co-worker, and sometimes even a stranger are all objects of our affections at times in our lives. The strongest emotion we have is love to give to another person, which sometimes makes us weak at the knees, stamouring idots, and even doing and saying things in our lives we would never ever do under normal circumstances. So for all the lovers out there Agorabooks has pulled together loads of books to help you express your inner most thoughts, emotions, and feelings. From poetry to songs, food to personalized cards and notes. Tell that someone special you love them on Valentines Day with a good book from Agorabooks.
Christmas Season (Church Year - Dec - Jan) - the beginning of the church year, which doesn't start as the typical calendar year, but starts the 1st Sunday of Advent which is first of December through middle of February. This season is the busiest for the church as several church holidays happen in short order through these 3 months. The Advent month of December kicks off the season with it's emphasis on being prepared for Christ's coming both as a baby in Bethlehem but also Jesus 2nd coming as Lord when he will take all believers to heaven and destroy the entire world with fire. The Christmas celebration is the largest church wide celebration the world over. We celebrate the coming of the Christ child, God's only son, born to a virgin woman named Mary and laid in a manger in a barn with the animals, where shepherds and wisemen come to worship and honor him, bringing gifts of gold, incense and myrh. The start of the gift giving traditions we celebrate with family and friends started in this humble beginning. Then to Epiphany where we celebrate Jesus's circumcision, commanded by God of the Old Testament and required of all male babies according to Jewish law. Jesus, the very son of God, came to earth as a human baby to fulfill ALL righteousness before God, to live the perfect life and become the Savior and Lord of the people of the world by dying on a cross and rising from the dead.

- Lent / Holy Week / Easter - (Church Year, February - April) (click each word for a different set of books) as we approach the Lenten/Holy Week/Easter season we offer many helpful resources (i.e. sermons, plays, devotions, meditations, worship services) for pastors, church leaders, and Christians preparing for this seasons worship services to honor the resurrected Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. This time of the church year is best described as a meditative look inside oneself, into those dark places that scare and frighten us and hold us back from being all we can be. We invoke the name of Jesus (the Son of God) to come and cast the light of His resurrected presence into these dark places that hold us back from being with him. He is Risen from the dead for all people worldwide as Savior and Lord. Believe in Him that His light may create peace where only human weakness prevails.

The Reformation (Church Year, celebrated end of October) - In honor of the mid 1500's Christian Reformation of the church in which Dr. Martin Luther posted his 95 reforms needed in order to help society and culture get out of the Dark Ages it had spiraled into. And from these basic reforms and the many thousands of other Biblical articles Dr. Luther encouraged his people to take back the truths that God intended mankind to live by as stated in Holy Scripture. These basic principles revolved around the primary premise of "Salvation by Grace Alone". Agorabooks proudly offers hundreds of books about this volatile period of history in which the entire human race was invited to embrace a freedom of expression they had never experienced before.

Mother's Day - in honor of mother's everywhere we offer books on mothers. All kinds of mothers. When we were small children our mother's would read to us the Mother Goose series of books with all her various animal helpers and we'd learn about the caring mother. And as we grew older then it became mothers and their families, the nurturing mother. And then it becomes mothers and sons, or mothers and daughters, the consoling or counseling mother. And when we have grown old ourselves we shed a tear as we say goodbye to our mothers and lay our mothers to rest, the heavenly mother. Read a good book about mothering today and give your mother a book to read, the romatic mother. (NOTE: we have gift certificates called Agorabucks, these make great mother gifts! see left panel)

War /
Soldier - (click each word for a different set of books) there comes a time when everyone must stand and fight for what is right. To push back and forcibly oppose the darkenss of human nature that man's best side, his kindness, care and love may show forth. It's the very nature of this world that if evil is allowed to roam freely, chaos wins. Thus from time to time the brave and strong, with much courage is called forward to stand up and oppose the evil of this world in order to give the rest of us life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. At agorabooks we are proud to offer books that show the heroism, the battles from many viewpoints, the struggles that have changed history and the lives that have been transformed in the midst of war. To take a life is never honorable. But the courage to stand up for the good and to oppose the evil that seeks to overwhelm us is to be praised and honored. To all the soldiers who fight the good fight for freedom and a way of life that respects each man, woman, and child in his or her role to be heard, listened to, and included in the day to day struggles of making this world a better place, we salute. And pray in some small way that the books we ship all over the world may help this cause to bring about world peace.
