Sketchy Views : A Beginner’s Guide To Making Sense Of God
$18.99Add to cartIs your understanding of who God is and how he works in our lives today a little sketchy? Daniel DeWitt’s Sketchy Views is a beginner’s guide to making sense of God.
Everybody has beliefs about God. There are a million ways to get God wrong, but there’s only a narrow path to getting him right. In order to understand God, we have to go back to the Bible, but that can be overwhelming if you are new to theology.
Sketchy Views uses words and sketches to help readers visually connect with and understand what basic Christian theology is and is not. DeWitt helps readers understand why what we think about God is the most important thing about us. Because God is the most important topic a person can think about, the way we think about God (our theology) is our most valuable and important collection of our thoughts and words.

Growing A Joyful Heart
$16.99Add to cartWhat keeps a smile on your face, a song in your heart, and a spring in your step? JOY!

– We choose to respond with joy in all circumstances, even in the midst of our grief and pain

Once joy overflows in our hearts, we share that abundance and become joy givers. This warm and winsome devotional will inspire, enrich, and encourage your journey of joy. -
Hole In The World
$17.99Add to cartIn a raw and inspiring reflection on grief–selected by Publishers Weekly as one of the best books of the year–a mourning sister processes her personal story of loss by exploring the history of bereavement customs.?
When Amanda Held Opelt suffered a season of loss-including three miscarriages and the unexpected death of her sister, New York Times bestselling writer Rachel Held Evans-she was confronted with sorrow she didn’t know to how face. Opelt struggled to process her grief and accept the reality of the pain in the world. She also wrestled with some unexpectedly difficult questions: What does it mean to truly grieve and to grieve well? Why is it so hard to move on? Why didn’t my faith prepare me for this kind of pain? And what am I supposed to do now?
Her search for answers led her to discover that generations past embraced rituals that served as vessels for pain and aided in the process of grieving and healing. Today, many of these traditions have been lost as religious practice declines, cultures amalgamate, death is sanitized, and pain is averted.
In this raw and authentic memoir of bereavement, Opelt explores the history of human grief practices and how previous generations have journeyed through periods of suffering. She explores grief rituals and customs from various cultures, including:
*the Irish tradition of keening, or wailing in grief, which teaches her that healing can only begin when we dive headfirst into our grief
*the Victorian tradition of post-mortem photographs and how we struggle to recall a loved one as they were
*the Jewish tradition of sitting shiva, which reminds her to rest in the strength of her community even when God feels absent
*the tradition of mourning clothing, which set the bereaved apart in society for a time, allowing them space to honor their grief
As Opelt explores each bereavement practice, it gives her a framework for processing her own pain. She shares how, in spite of her doubt and anger, God met her in the midst of sorrow and grieved along with her, and shows that when we carefully and honestly attend to our losses, we are able to expand our capacity for love, faith, and healing.

*Safe, seen, and loved
*Already enough because of your value in Christ
*Part of a community of women who understand your longing for soul renewal
*Whole and complete in Christ, even when you feel fragile or overwhelmedIn a world filled with countless counterfeit identities, it’s easy to get caught up chasing the wrong things. These devotions feel like sitting down to coffee with a close friend and sharing both the hard and good of what it means to be a woman following Christ, learning together how to grow and rest in the peace and security Jesus offers. These vulnerable invitations for reflection will help you confidently live out your true worth secure in His promises for you.

Raised To Stay
$17.99Add to cartAn honest exploration of disappointment with the Church, Raised to Stay is for anyone weary of God’s people but longing to keep their faith in God.
God might seem silent right now. God’s people might seem not worth the wounds. But hold on as Natalie Runion embarks on a journey for all who are wandering, wondering, and wrestling. Together, we will move toward trusting God again, knowing that even though Christian community may fail us, the love of God never fails.
When we say yes to God, we don’t say yes to church politics, ladder climbing, or burnout. We say yes to Jesus. We say yes to hope. We say yes to much that we can still embrace. Through honest words and deeply personal story, Runion challenges us to be part of a generation known for the passionate pursuit of Christ. To be remembered for loving one another, forgiving one another, and persevering with one another in our hunger for God.
We aren’t quitters. We are the stayers.

Gods Not Like That
$17.99Add to cartMany of us long for the abundant life Jesus promised, but instead we feel stagnant and frustrated in our faith. More of us cultivate our view of God from our family of origin than from the pages of the Bible-and a faulty view of God will always be a barrier to a satisfying spiritual life.
In his unique and interactive book God Isn’t Like That, author Bryan Clark returns us to Scripture on a step-by-step journey to identify and then correct our misconceptions about God. This highly practical book helps us understand:
*Specific ways our childhood influences our beliefs today
*The difference between a grace-based value system and a performance-based value system
*How to distinguish truth from fiction when it comes to personal beliefs
*Why even a loving and faith-filled family can inadvertently pass on false representations of God
*What the Bible says about how God intended Himself to be depicted in the home
Abundant life has nothing to do with money or prosperity or health. Abundant life has everything to do with a right view of God that sustains us, comforts us, and satisfies us through every season.

If we understand anything about our culture, it’s that we desperately need healing. Many people are quick to believe in an outrageous conspiracy before they will believe in Jesus and the miracle worker He is. Throughout Scripture, we see that He makes the blind see, opens deaf ears, restores life from death, and so much more . . . but what about you?
Do you believe that Jesus has the power to restore you to health and heal your wounds? Throughout this book, Matthew Stephen Brown leads readers on a spiritual journey designed to discover who Jesus is as Healer and explore many questions including:
*Why do we believe in Jesus as Lord and Savior, but not as Healer?
*Why would a good God allow us to experience pain in the first place, and maybe many times?
*When we don’t experience healing, does that mean Jesus has failed or let us down?
*Jesus cares about our physical needs, but what healing in our lives is He most concerned about?
Combining personal stories, biblical truth and wisdom, and humor that puts people at ease and draws them in, Pastor Matt Brown leads readers to worship a God who is not random, not careless, and who is never without cause, especially when it comes to performing miracles. Everyone can get behind a God who says yes. But what about when God says no? Or wait? No matter what God’s plan is for your life, we can learn to trust and worship the Great Healer.

Valuable : Why Your Worth Is Not Defined By How Useful You Feel
$14.99Add to cartWe all want to be useful to God, but often we feel that we’re not, or, because of illness or other difficulties, that we can’t be as active as we’d like to be. Liz Carter wants to rescue us from the spiral of feeling useless that we get caught in, and to show us that being useful isn’t what Christianity is about. In fact, the Bible barely talks about God using people at all.
Weaving together insightful scriptural analysis and beautifully told stories, Liz takes us on a journey to see what the Bible really says about weakness, identity and God’s purposes for us: helping us to see ourselves and our relationship with God in an entirely different and much more glorious way. Readers will discover that our purpose as Christians is not about being useful but about being known by God and enjoying him.
This book is particularly helpful for those struggling with long-term physical or mental illness, but it’s also a great encouragement to Christians who feel that they are not good enough or useful enough to God for other reasons.
Questions at the end of each chapter make this a helpful resource to read with a friend or in groups.

Misled : 7 Lies That Distort The Gospel And How You Can Discern The Truth
$28.99Add to cartThe gospel is under attack today–not only from outside cultural forces but also from within the church. In Misled, popular YouTuber and Bible teacher Allen Parr equips readers to identify and withstand seven of the most common false teachings that undermine the gospel and lead many well-meaning Christians astray.
For an anxious and weary world, the gospel of Jesus Christ is the one true source of deep peace and lasting joy. But today, many supposedly Christian teachers are spreading ideas that amount to what Paul called “another gospel.”
The result? A generation of believers confused about what God really says, what he offers, and what he wants for his children. From the heavy burden of legalism to an overemphasis on prosperity or spiritual gifts to warped understandings of grace, every false teaching has two things in common: they all use half-truths that look and sound biblical (making them very difficult to identify) and they all harm and discourage those who are trying to follow the way of Jesus.
In Misled, Allen Parr weaves together stories from his own spiritual journey and the lives of those he’s ministered to in order to show the painful consequences of following false teachings and to provide clear explanations of what the Bible really teaches about the gospel. Readers will
*learn about seven of the most misleading and harmful messages that run rampant within the church today;
*be equipped to identify not only “wolves in shepherd’s clothing” who peddle counterfeit gospels, but also well-intentioned teachers whose half-truths are no less harmful to the church; and
*discover how they can find the freedom, peace, and joy that only comes from embracing the gospel in all its purity and simplicity.
With the same balanced, Bible-based approach that has made Parr’s YouTube channel a go-to resource, Misled offers clarity and hope for anyone who has felt discouraged or confused in their spiritual journey–and invites readers to find everything they’ve been searching for in the true gospel.

Free And Fully Alive
$18.99Add to cartA dynamic, practical guide to embracing your past and discovering a deeper connection to yourself, God, and others so you can reclaim who God created you to be.
Many of us yearn for a sense of purpose, but we wonder how we can overcome the trauma and mistakes of our past. We keep doing and doing for God, hoping to erase our story so we can find our true calling.
Free and Fully Alive is a powerful reminder that our stories hold the key to our true purpose, and it’s who we are in those stories, not what we do, that is the secret to living the abundant life God promises.
As author Karrie Garcia draws on her own experiences and her expertise as a life coach, she shows us why God’s redemptive purpose for our lives doesn’t begin once we’re free from pain, and as we are vulnerable with God, ourselves, and others, we find that we are already who God created us to be.

*Ditch the behavior modification strategies and focus on true heart transformation
*Stop chasing external achievements when what you long for is internal change
*Silence that inner critic and find the voice of truth through the Word of God
*Realize that God’s love for you has nothing to do with all you accomplish today
*Understand that your past does not disqualify you from God’s purposeFeel fully alive in the story you’re living. You are meant to be here. In fact, that’s the greatest purpose of all.

When Your Way Isnt Working
$27.99Add to cartWhen you are worn-out, when you feel discouraged, when you think you don’t have what it takes, what is the one thing that Jesus wants you to never forget? When Your Way Isn’t Working equips you to discover authentic connection to God and others so you are free to live the life you long for.
In some of his final words to his closest friends, Jesus didn’t suggest a five-year plan for success or a checklist of things to do. Instead, he offered a metaphor about what the good life really looks like: I am the vine. You are the branches. Abide in me. In other words, No matter what happens next, the most important thing is to stay connected to me.
In When Your Way Isn’t Working, pastor and bestselling author Kyle Idleman offers a unique exploration of John 15 for all of us who are going through the motions and feel frustrated. Idleman reminds us that it’s connection, not production, that leads to a fruitful life–relationships, not circumstances, that bring joy. He offers his distinctive, biblical perspective on how to:
*Find greater rest, depth, and connection in your life
*Embrace freedom from the pressures of performance and production
*Recognize what you can’t do makes room for what God can do
*Step out of isolation even when it feels scary
*Discover the top distractions that keep you from connecting to God–and how to counter themIn the end, the fruit of your life won’t have to do with what you accomplished but with whom you stayed connected. Because no matter what happens next in this uncertain world, what matters most, lasts the longest, and brings the greatest joy is staying connected to the God who never leaves you.

Knowing Gods Will For Your Life
$13.99Add to cartNot every book has universal appeal. However, this book is for every Christian. The subject of knowing God’s will and doing God’s will is the ultimate subject for all believers. We all want to know that what we are doing and saying is in the mind and will of God – for it is there that we will know true pleasure, be fully empowered and at peace.The theme of knowing the Will of God’ is vast and often when it is taken up in a written form loses the reader due to the scale and complexity of the subject. In contrast, David’s thoughtful, concise style keeps the reader focussed. The chapters are short, well arranged and targeted on a few verses. The reader will be able to read a chapter in a few minutes. The theme of the Will of God’ can also become technical in some of the literature, bamboozling the reader. Not here. This book is very practical and the impact of this subject is forcibly brought to bear upon our daily lives. This is a book for Christians who wish to grow spiritually.The skill of the teacher is to make complex things simple, without dumbing-down the message and over-simplifying. This book is broad in its range of issues that it discusses under the title the Will of God’. It particularly focuses on how we as Christians can discover the Will of God’ in various aspects of our lives. David has spent long hours studying the vast range of verses that deal with this subject and has distilled it down for us into digestible chunks without losing any of the scholarly work that underpins it.

New Fight For Life
$17.99Add to cartThe battle over the constitutionality of Roe v. Wade may be over, but now a bigger fight lies ahead.
For over half a century, pro-life advocates have fought to protect the sanctity of human life. Now that the decision the pro-life community has been waiting and praying for has finally become a reality, a question remains: Now what? How do we continue to stand for life for everyone who bears the image of God-from womb to tomb? And if abortion disproportionately impacts the poor and the marginalized, specifically Black Americans, why should we seize this new opportunity to make right what has gone terribly wrong?
Benjamin Watson, author of Under Our Skin and a former NFL player who now serves as VP of strategic relationships with Human Coalition, a pro-life organization based in Dallas, wants to galvanize the church and the pro-life movement in this new era. In The New Fight for Life, Watson
*leads us into a new understanding of pro-life advocacy,
*shows how we can move past political debate and culture wars, and
*envisions a new path forward that promotes life by committing to human flourishing and holistic justice.
We can create a culture where abortion is both unthinkable and unnecessary. How? By relentlessly pursuing a more just world-for everyone.

Do Not Be True To Yourself
$7.99Add to cartCountercultural Yet Biblical Advice for High School and College Students, Ideal for Graduation and Birthday Gifts
Most speeches addressed to high school and college students follow a similar theme: march to the beat of your own drum.

In this collection of inspiring sermons and graduation speeches, Kevin DeYoung delivers a motivational, biblical call to young people: serve God faithfully-and if necessary, counter-culturally-in the next season of your life. Do Not Be True to Yourself includes practical advice for cultivating a Christ-centered worldview in every area of adult life, including relationships, work, church participation, and spiritual growth, making it a transformational resource for mentoring students.

A. W. Tozer wrote, “What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us.” How we view God makes all the difference in our lives. It informs everything about who we are and who we’re becoming.

Or even a virtual assistant to help when other options are exhausted? This updated edition of the national bestseller Not Forsaken challenges our perception of who God is and points us to a heavenly Father who is not absent or ambivalent, but is available and affectionate, ready to shower us with his approval and love.
No matter what has happened on this side of eternity between you and your earthly dad, Seeing God as a Perfect Father will help you:
*Embrace who God is and discover the truth and beauty of his nature
*Understand that God uniquely created you and loves you unconditionally
*Unlock the chains holding you captive and find freedom in who you are in Christ
*Walk in the fullness, authority, and intimacy a child of GodWhen we take hold of the truth that our God has spanned heaven and earth to reach us, we will no longer be defined by our past but by the love of a perfect Father. Learn how God wants us to experience his unique, unconditional love and to live in the freedom, abundance, and blessing He freely gives.

Dont Look Back
$28.99Add to cartMoving on is not a one-time decision. It’s a way of living
There are times in life when we look back and feel desperate to make time stand still, particularly when we get blindsided by unexpected changes. But we can’t stop the flow of life, and we can’t stop time. What’s more, looking back doesn’t enable us to go back. More often than not, it just makes us stuck. In a place. In a space. In a memory. In a mindset. In a habit.In John 17:32, Jesus drops three little words: Remember Lot’s wife. We don’t know her name, history, or story. All we know is that when she was fleeing Sodom and Gomorrah, she was told not to look back, and she did the one thing she was asked not to do. She looked back and turned into a pillar of salt. And out of the 170 women referred to in the Scriptures, she’s the only one Jesus told us to remember.
With a rallying cry to Remember Lot’s wife, Bible teacher, international speaker, activist, and bestselling author Christine Caine motivates us to stop looking back, to get unstuck and to keep moving forward into God’s promises and purpose for our lives.
We may not know all God’s plans for us. We may not know where we are going, how long it will take us, or what we will encounter along the way, but with the strategies Christiane Caine gives, we can move on from where we are to where God wants us to be. In this new book, Christine will motivate you to:
*stop looking back and start looking to Jesus;
*invite Jesus in to help you get unstuck from the many places we often find ourselves;
*move on from where you are into all God’s plans, purposes, and promises for your life; and
*look forward to the future and keep moving toward it in faith–especially when your world is nothing like it once was.
Jesus is beckoning us onward into the newness of what lies ahead. Stop disqualifying yourself by getting stuck in the past. It’s time to remember Lot’s wife and not look back but move forward boldly.

Midlife Battle Cry
$18.99Add to cartIn a culture where so many people think of middle age as a downward slope into comfy sneakers and quiet, meaningless existence, we can redefine the second half of life, shaping it into decades of fulfillment, fun, strength, and purpose.
In our forties, fifties, and beyond, we’re wrestling with new questions. Is this it? Did I do what I wanted to do in my life? Who am I now that my kids have moved out? Will my sagging skin eventually hang all the way down to my feet? We feel a little like the world has nudged us aside for the younger crowd.
But God still has much in store for us.
God doesn’t bring us to the middle of our lives so we can park in front of the TV and binge-watch home makeover shows. There is no “midlife” to him! We are his gift to this world at every age and in every season, and it’s time to embrace it like never before. Right now, we are the best we’ve ever been. We know more, we’ve done more, we’ve lost and loved more. We’ve figured out that all tweezers are not created equal for chin hairs and, best of all, we’ve crossed into a space of feeling more ourselves than ever before. These are exhilarating and empowering years.
In Midlife Battle Cry, bestselling author Dawn Barton will inspire you to:
*realize that God isn’t done with you (honestly, he’s just getting started),
*view midlife as a pivot point, the start of a bold and powerful season,
*embrace who you are physically, spiritually, and emotionally,
*learn to share your experiences and wisdom with a younger generation, and
*accept that sometimes adding arch support to your cutest shoes is a really good idea.Blending lots of humor, honesty, stories, and insights, Dawn will walk you through redefining the mighty second half of life. It’s time to rediscover your passions, pursue your dreams–and know your actions can cause not just a ripple effect but a magnificent tidal wave.

Art Of Overcoming
$18.99Add to cartIf you or someone you love is walking through a season of loss, disappointment, pain, or other difficulties, The Art of Overcoming will teach you how to grieve what has died within you and celebrate the new life set before you by the God who brings good from evil, light from dark, and life from death.
Pastor Tim Timberlake uses the imagery of a traditional funeral ceremony as a framework to look at the death experiences we face regularly in this crazy journey called life. These experiences include all the grief, disappointment, tragedy, loss, pain, suffering, abuse, or sorrow that comes our way.
Death is not the end, although it often feels like it is in the moment. Instead, it is a season to reflect, to honor, and to grow. It is the end of one chapter but the beginning of a new one. The new doesn’t diminish the old and looking toward the future doesn’t mean we forget the past. Instead, we must learn to hold loss and hope at the same time.
The chapters are divided into four sections that represent specific stages of dealing with our death experiences.
*Living with Death explores five foundational perspectives about grief and loss
*The Processional encourages us to face head-on the reality of our experiences
*The Eulogy helps us memorialize and honor what has been lost and how to process grief in a healthy way
*The Recessional is about closure as we discover life after death and move forward
No matter what you’ve gone through or are in the middle of right now, better days are ahead. But don’t hurry to get there. Instead, let Jesus heal your heart in His timing, take time to grieve what needs to be grieved, and then celebrate the new life God lays out before you.

Gods Not Done With You
$17.99Add to cartWe all experience setbacks and disappointments in life. Sometimes those setbacks become entire seasons of life. Businesses fail, relationships falter, discouragement and doubts set in and circumstances overwhelm us.
This book uses nine amazing comeback stories from the Bible to show how God provides everything needed to get through challenging setbacks.
Rather than showing people overcoming hardship through simple grit, the stories of Moses, David, Abigail, Esther, Joseph, Jonah, Elijah, Hezekiah and Peter tell of extraordinary changes of heart and how God works in all things for the good of those who love him. Readers will be given a new perspective on their struggles and will be encouraged to trust God in them.
Author John Meador uses his 35 years of Bible-teaching ministry, as well as his own experience of suffering permanent hearing loss, to write with faithfulness, compassion and authenticity. He says:
“These stories are real-life events that often brought more drama, heartbreak and tragedy, and had more at stake than most any other situations in history. They show us greater and more meaningful outcomes than we can possibly imagine.”
This is a great book for anyone looking for answers to life’s challenges. It is a useful ministry resource for pastors and church leaders searching for stories of faith to encourage others. Coming back from regrets, adversity, hopelessness, discouragement, anger, moral failure, disillusionment, physical crisis, grief and oppression are some of the themes covered.

Disobedient God
$20.08Add to cartWhat do you do when God doesn’t give you what you want?
When the people of Israel, those who had witnessed the most abundant and inexplicable acts of God, grew tired of waiting for Moses to come off the mountain, they made a calf of gold. It was easier for them to make a new god than to continue serving a God that didn’t conform to their schedule and expectations.
Just like the Israelites in the desert, we are all fundamentally longing for God… but who and what are we actually reaching for and serving? Disobedient God addresses the things we do when we feel ignored, inconvenienced and frustrated by God. What things are we reaching for in our life? Are we reaching for porn when we long for intimacy? Reaching for success when we long for security? We would never say that we have replaced God, but our actions tell a different story. Whether we are trying to replace God, trying to run away or trying to perform for Him, we have no mindset to deal with a disobedient God. Disobedient God is a book for people dealing with this disappointment and interested in properly understanding and loving the God they’ve misunderstood.
This is not a step-by-step instruction manual for how to react when things are difficult; rather, it is a way of understanding God that leads people to discover the relationship with God that they were always meant for.
