Liturgies For Resisting Empire
$19.99Everyone wants to belong.But what does belonging–to God, ourselves, and each other–look like in the context of living within an empire and its ideologies?In Liturgies for Resisting Empire, Cuban American writer Kat Armas explores this question both for the New Testament church and for us today.Armas starts by introducing the idea of empire and how deeply it affects everyone, every day. She then explores what it means to belong to God, not empire, by looking at the ways the early church wrestled with this. Through de- and post-colonial interpretations of Scripture, she examines empires throughout history, offering readers a path toward liberation from systems of exploitation and guidance for building communities that value people over power.Armas gives readers a sense of hope and belonging in their daily lives–belonging to ourselves, God, each other, and the earth–in ways that resist the lies of empire.

Nervous Systems : Spiritual Practices To Calm Anxiety In Your Body, The Chu
$19.99Every era has its challenges, but ours seem to be majoring in anxiety. Bombarded (via screens) by constant global conflicts, rancorous politics, and church scandals, today we endure seemingly endless external stressors. The reasons are easy to find–division in politics and the pews, caring for kids or aging parents, and the rapid impact of social media on our psyches, to name a few. While exploring these origins may hold some benefit, Sara Billups is concerned with right now: How do we live well in the presence of pervasive personal and collective anxiety?The dissonance between Jesus saying “Do not worry” and her heart’s inability to stop worrying led Sara to seek out spiritual rhythms and practices that create a holistic, holy response to the anxiety brimming in our bodies, our churches, and our society.Nervous Systems offers helpful, doable daily practices for anxiety in the large and small trials in our lives. This collection of personal and cultural observations invites us to let go in the presence of our anxiety. Join Sara in learning how, with God’s help, to face anxiety head-on rather than trying to pray it away or, worse, grin and bear it.

Beloved
$19.99Bestselling author and pastor Francis Chan explains how abiding in the love of God frees us from insecurity and leads us into a lifetime of joyful, worshipful obedience.
Despite pastoring for decades and reaching thousands of people through his books and preaching, Francis wrestled with deep-seated insecurity. He understood God’s love conceptually, but struggled to actually experience it. This resulted in a life that was far from the thrilling and peaceful life God saved us for.
Francis prayed fervently for God to intervene, and asked his friends and family to do the same. The result was a fresh revelation of the depth of God’s love and affection. This brought about newfound freedom and enjoyment of God that only continues to grow.
As Francis shared this journey with others, he realized that many in the Church are burdened by the same insecurity, and God is zealous to change this.
In Beloved, Francis Chan gives biblical insight into:
*How our restlessness and striving is a symptom of our disbelief of God’s love
*Satan’s schemes to keep us trapped in doubt and insecurity
*Discovering and abiding in our identity as God’s beloved children
*How God’s love overflows to a life of radical obedience and joyGod longs for His children to rest securely in His holy love. It’s what we were made for, and it is this inward confidence that causes us to be light unto the world.

This experiential knowledge leads to a vibrant spiritual life, a stronger reliance on the Lord, and a greater confidence in serving others.

Fear Is Not A Sin
$11.99When life takes a turn for the worse, our natural response is fear and anxiety, even though God commands his people many times in scripture to not be afraid. However, as bestselling author and biblical counselor Edward T. Welch explains, those commands do not mean that our fears are inherently sinful. Instead, they are an invitation from God to go to him with our troubles.
Fear Is Not a Sin: It Is a Call to Action guides readers to respond to fear by going to God and learning to pray his words back to him. Readers will be encouraged that the fears they experience are an opportunity to grow from a “little-faith” to a “big-faith” that takes God at his word and trusts him in an uncertain world where things can and do go wrong.

Kiss The Fire
$19.99Find the courage and determination to keep fighting even when life’s challenges are heavy and daunting.
When life turns up the heat and everything inside of you wants to give up, will you face the flames? Will you keep the faith? Will you keep fighting until God does the miraculous?
Pastor Shawn Johnson found himself asking these questions after he received a devastating diagnosis that made him want to give up on everything, including his faith and his future. The turning point for Shawn was a phone call from a friend and UFC fighting coach who told him that this situation was not going to steal his joy, take away his peace, or change his calling. Instead, he said, “You’re going to kiss this fire and walk away whistling.”
The phrase “kiss the fire” doesn’t imply that it won’t get hot from time to time. It’s not saying there won’t be hard days. It’s a declaration that you’re choosing not to give up and has become Shawn’s battle cry. It acknowledges that you can get through this and will be stronger on the other side. Kiss the Fire will inspire you to trust that God is present and to tap into that inner fighter spirit. In Kiss the Fire Shawn shares:
*The three reasons why you should keep fighting and refuse to give up
*Seven strategies you need in order to kiss the fire and walk away whistling
*How to experience the amazing plans God has for you, even when you have no idea what those might beThis book is a lifeline. If you or a loved one are struggling to hold on, Pastor Shawn will show you how to face spiritual, physical, and emotional battles with determination and tenacity. It will give you the faith, the encouragement, and the tools you need to persevere through whatever you are going through, so that one day you can look back and with all sincerity say, “Thank God I didn’t give up, because look what God has done!”

Tame Your Thoughts
Original price was: $29.99.$17.97Current price is: $17.97.When was the last time you awakened to a swirl of out-of-control thoughts? Perhaps you were overwhelmed with the weight of worry, the fear of failing, or the grip of guilt. The way we think directly impacts our joy and peace. In Tame Your Thoughts, Max Lucado provides three biblical and practical tools to renew your mind and transform your life.
Our thoughts have consequences. Most people would agree that positive thoughts generate positive actions. Negative thoughts activate negative behavior. But do we understand that we can manage our lives by managing our thoughts? Not only does neuroscience back this concept, but the idea is also embedded throughout Scripture. “Do not be conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewal of your mind” (Rom.12:2 esv). Tame your thoughts and transform your life!
In Tame Your Thoughts, Max explores three key thought-management tools and then applies them to the most common thought problems: worry, guilt, anxiety, and other types of mental quicksand that threaten to trap us. God loves us too much to let us lead a life marked by poor thinking. He made our brains; he can retrain our brains. God has not left us alone in this battle of the mind.
Stuck in your head? Hounded by regrets? Weighed down by worry? Change is possible! The thoughts that have characterized your past need not characterize the rest of your life. Readers will learn to:
*take thoughts captive,
*test each message against the truth of Scripture,
*interrupt poisonous thought threads, and
*think and act like Jesus.If God can resurrect the dead, can he not resurrect hope? Defy depression? Clarify confusion? Silence shame? Destroy doubt? Banish bitterness?
Take God at his word. “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind” (2 Tim. 1:7 nkjv, emphasis added). With God as their helper, the reader will discover a new way of thinking and a better way of living. A new person will begin to emerge.We can tame each thought, friends.

Grace Beyond Salvation
$15.99Everything is rooted and grounded in the grace of God.
From the first verse in the Bible to the very last, there’s a thread that holds humanity’s story together–that thread is grace. In Grace Beyond Salvation, pastor and teacher Dr. Kyle DiRoberts invites readers to understand and experience the biblical story of God’s extraordinary grace. This story is the key to understanding and fully living our own stories.
Kyle believes that we cannot navigate this life, striving to love God with all our heart, soul, and mind, without understanding the design and purpose of God’s grace. But what is grace? It’s likely so much more than you might think.
This book is for all who don’t fully understand the grace of God and the freedom it gives us. It’s for anyone living with shame and guilt, constantly reminded of past mistakes. It’s for those who believe in God but struggle with the evil in this world and how God’s grace fits into the picture. It’s for hurting people–both believers and seekers–who’ve believed lies because they don’t understand God’s design for grace and its purpose in their lives.
The grand story of grace is full of drama, pain, and suffering, but also, hope, expectation, and pursuit. Grasping and absorbing His grace is the secret to living an intimate, confident relationship with God and others.

I Choose Joy
$16.99Joy–our lifeline and strength through life’s suffering.
C.S. Lewis said, “Joy is the serious business of Heaven.” Too often, however, joy is missing from our lives. When we look to Scripture, we see examples of early Christians thriving even amid hardship and persecution. How do we recapture that deep and stubborn joy?
Pastor and author Chip Ingram takes us to God’s Word, helping us shift away from self-centered happiness and toward lasting joy found in God’s goodness.
“Choosing joy in the midst of difficulties goes against all our instincts. When you look at life through the lens of your circumstances, what happens? You’re happy when circumstances are good and sad or angry when they aren’t, right? But if you look at your circumstances through the lens of God’s goodness–his power and promises–that’s a higher perspective. You can experience joy because you know a good God is going to take even the worst and most difficult things in life and use them for your good. Living above our circumstances occurs when our perspective interprets our circumstances rather than our circumstances determining our perspective.”
You cannot choose your life’s circumstances, but you can choose how to respond. Join esteemed Bible teacher, Chip Ingram, on this journey to restore the essential Christian virtue of JOY!
