Jesus Calling Practicing Thankfulness
$11.99Add to cartEach of us has a choice in the type of “lens” we use to view our lives. Some of us view our lives through a lens of “lack.” We keep a mental inventory of everything we don’t have and worry there won’t be enough for us in the future. Others among us view our lives through a lens of “abundance.” We notice everything that we do have, thank God for providing those things for us, and then choose to live our days depending and trusting in him to keep on providing for us in the future.
In Practicing Thankfulness, based on the bestselling book Jesus Calling by Sarah Young, you will explore how you can switch your perspective to view your life more through the lens of abundance than of lack. You will explore what the Bible has to say about the many ways that God provides for you, learn why you should give thanks to him (in every situation) for this abundance, and discover how to truly make thankfulness a part of your daily life. This Bible

Live In The Light
$18.00Add to cartWe are in a season of church meltdown.
The apostle John-the beloved disciple and the author of the Gospel by the same name-wrote letters to churches caught in a turbulent season of leadership failures, divisions over interpretation and practice, church splits, and even a powerful leader stirring up dissent. Sound familiar? It seems as though the church is melting under an angry heat wave of national politics, racism, injustice, and abuse.
Is there any hope?
Tara Beth Leach invites us to listen for John’s guidance to the church. The same message John sent to Christians in his day is also a message for us today!

Armor Of God
$12.00Add to cartEvery day, an unseen battle is going on around us in the spiritual realm.
God has provided everything we need to stand firm and resist evil, but we are called to be actively aware of both the struggle and the resources available.
In Ephesians 6 the apostle Paul gives us the clearest description anywhere in Scripture of believers’ resources for the spiritual battle. He vividly describes them as armor, which we must repeatedly take up in prayerful reliance on God.
In this eight-session LifeGuide(R) Bible Study, Douglas Connelly unpacks each element of the armor of God, from the belt of truth to the sword of the Spirit. Readers will explore the context of the Ephesians 6 passage along with additional texts that help them dig deeper into each theme.

Hear My Prayer
$18.00Add to cartWhether you consider yourself a prayer warrior, a prayer newbie, or even a prayer skeptic, Liz Ditty, an experienced spiritual director and retreat leader, invites you to engage with the story of Elijah and his encounters with God as she guides us toward a less awkward, more authentic prayer in this six-week Bible study experience.
Does prayer matter?
What we believe about prayer reflects what we believe about God. Maybe you believe God is all-powerful and wise, but not attentive to your little corner of the world? Fortunately, the Bible tells us a different story. Over and over again, we are reminded that God is both great and good, and that we are cared for and fully known by him. So God welcomes all our prayers and invites us to pray about everything-to entrust him with all things both big and small, joyful and enraging, and to pray fervently.
Whether you consider yourself a prayer warrior or prayer newbie (or even a prayer skeptic), you are invited to join this six-week Bible study experience. Liz Ditty, an experienced spiritual director and retreat leader, invites groups and individuals to experience dozens of ways to pray alone and together. As she engages the story of Elijah and his encounters with God, she guides us toward less awkward, more authentic prayer.

Moms At The Well
$18.00Add to cartMotherhood is hard. Really hard.
Tara Edelschick and Kathy Tuan-MacLean know this personally. As moms who have spent decades working with and encouraging other moms, they know the struggles real moms face in our real world. Their survey of more than seven hundred moms revealed that moms experience worry, anger, comparison, escapism, a desire for control, and even heartbreak while raising children. And moms long to connect with God in the midst of it all, but even that can feel like a challenge.
That’s why we need a well. For centuries, women met daily at neighborhood wells to draw water for their families, meeting a very significant physical need. But these wells were also gathering spaces, providing much-needed community and relationships.
This seven-week Bible study offers a modern-day “well” for mothers-a gathering place to encourage one another, take an honest look at the challenges we face as moms, and experience the God who invites us into a process of spiritual transformation.
Meet with moms, meet with God, and find much-needed refreshment at the well.

Exploring The Earliest Gospel
$14.99Add to cartHelping kids fall in love with God and His Word as they study the Bible for themselves
Now more than ever, kids need to know and explore their Bibles.
Getting our kids engaged with Scripture early on is vital to their discipleship. In fact, research shows that Bible reading is the number one indicator for spiritual growth. Exploring the Earliest Gospel gives kids the chance and tools to know God through His Word.
In this kids’ Bible study, Rebecca McLaughlin and her young theologian daughters Miranda (12) and Eliza (10) guide your kids through the book of Mark. This adult-child collaboration will help your kids see themselves not just as passive recipients of teaching from grown-ups, but active participants who can engage with the Bible for themselves. At its heart, Exploring the Earliest Gospel is a study of a person: Jesus. Through sixty-six days of fun and fast-paced study, your kids will get to understand more of Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection.
Mark’s Gospel was the first gospel to be written, and it’s based on the memories of Jesus’ disciple Peter. Since Peter was an act first, think later kind of guy, your kids will notice that Mark uses the word “immediately” a lot. This is an action-packed book! As your young disciples enter the stories that were written and meant for them, they will learn how to observe, interpret, and apply God’s Word to their lives.
If you’re looking for a theologically rich, accessible bible study that helps your kids know and fall in love with Jesus and paves the way to a lifelong love of God and the Bible, give them Exploring the Earliest Gospel.

Ezra And Nehemiah Study Guide With Leaders Notes (Student/Study Guide)
$16.99Add to cartThe story of Ezra and Nehemiah plays out against a backdrop of ruins. There’s a ruined city, a ruined house of worship, ruined homes–ruined life with God. As is often the case in our own lives, the wreckage was largely their own fault. Their path to rebuilding, at its core, was a journey back to God. As you study Ezra and Nehemiah with Iain Duguid, you too will be encouraged to return to the God who is always faithful.
Duguid dives into lamenting sin, facing opposition, faithfully worship, and battling discouragement. This study will renew your joy in the Lord and encourage you to turn away from your own way and toward God, ultimately discovering Jesus is the one who rebuilds and brings new life where there is ruin and decay.

Shepherd King : The Life And Times Of King David In Israel
$16.99Add to cartThis Scripture Adventure is a journey through David’s life and his reign as king, a reign with its ups and downs, failures and successes. More than a list of historical facts, David’s life and legacy provide us with several life lessons, lessons that can serve to guide us daily, even moment by moment, whether we are serving only as “king” over ourselves or as leader over many. There are many “kingdoms” one can successfully rule or one can fail to rule. Which “kingdoms”? The “kingdoms” of “self” (with its many areas), as well as of home, church, school, a team, a neighborhood or community, a region, even a nation.
Here are some crucial facts when looking at David or any other leader: simply knowing his successes will not make us successful. Nor will knowing his failures keep us from failing, but we can learn. Here is an important truth: one does not have to fail personally; one can learn from others’ failures and one does not have to succeed in the same way as other “kings” or leaders. When all is said and done, the crucial questions are these: “Have I pleased the Lord?” “Have I followed Him and His Word?” “Have I helped others connect with Him to know and follow Him?” “Have I helped others through their life journey?” David certainly knew the Lord, sought to follow Him and sought to get others to follow Him and His Word. We can learn from David, from his stands and his stumbles, his successes, and failures. After all, it ever remains a matter of the heart-seeking God’s heart as well as learning from David’s heart for each of our hearts.

Unexpected Revival : Experiencing God’s Goodness Through Disappointment And
$15.99Add to cartAn Unexpected Revival is an eight-week Bible study by author and speaker Erica Wiggenhorn that works systematically through the prophecies of Ezekiel.

A deep dive into Ezekiel results in greater obedience and a bolstered faith.

Exodus : Stop Walking In Circles
$19.99Add to cartWe all carry habits and hang-ups that can sometimes stop us from getting that promotion, hurt our relationships with those closest to us, or stunt our growth toward deeper levels of intimacy. You know who God is calling you to be, but sometimes wonder how you’re ever going to get there. This journey through Exodus is designed to give you tools to help you break those bad habits and move you into your promised land: that place God is calling you to.
We will dive deep into Exodus 12-18, the journey out, and unearth what kept the children of Israel from reaching their dreams. After 400 years of captivity, they walked in circles for 40 years and only a few actually made it into the land flowing with milk and honey. What did they do that stopped them? Why were they unable to make it? God had so much to offer them and yet they could not break out of the same old habits, the slave mentalities, that halted their destiny.
God has a plan for your life and wants to see you reach it just like he wanted the children of Israel to reach Canaan. Similarly, we must break some habits in order to sustain the calling and develop the character along the way. So, stop walking in circles, girl, and let’s reach those promises!
Women will walk away with tools and tips to break the habits that are stopping them from moving into more. By diving into the way Egyptian culture influenced the children of Israel, we can draw parallels to today’s modern culture and how that may be influencing our thinking and way of life. Using hermeneutical interpretation, we will help readers to better grasp the way generational inheritance can impact “ways of life” that have just seemed normal for far too long. From personal experience, Rebecca will draw on neurology and the brain and how just because it’s always been, does not mean it is God’s way, and the children of Israel are a great example of that.
Women will learn more about one of the most important parts of God’s story-the exodus of His children out of captivity with the world ahead of them. What stopped them? It will leave readers leaning in, asking what is stopping me?

Life Principles From Unforgotten Women Of The Bible
$16.99Add to cartA quick glance at Scripture reveals the same familiar stories we’ve heard before. But when we slow down and take the time to look, other stories start to stand out to us-stories of women who played a role in God’s great story of salvation. Not all of them are named. Some of them are only mentioned in a line or a phrase, but they were significant enough for their stories to be recorded in the Book of Life. By studying them, we can learn for ourselves what it means to live a legacy of faith-what it looks like to live a life that is worthy of being remembered.
Over six weeks, we’re going to study the stories of six of these lesser-known women of the Bible. None of them had much time in the spotlight. They are the supporting cast-the roles that get listed way down in the credits right before the makeup artists and the lighting crew. Yet they are woven into the tapestry of faith, and we should consider their stories significant because God says they are significant to him.
Consider:
*The five daughters of Zelophehad, who courageously claimed their inheritance.
*Huldah, who valued God’s Word and helped usher in revival.
*Abigail, whose words averted disaster and helped call King David into his destiny.
*The Widow of Zarephath, who wasn’t searching for God but discovered God was searching for her.
*Leah, the unloved sister who found acceptance in God’s presence and purpose
*Gomer, who discovered the power of God’s redeeming love.They aren’t the women of the Bible whose names always make the Sunday School list, but their lives mattered. Their stories matter. So does yours.

Cease Striving Book 1 (Workbook)
$16.99Add to cartCease Striving is written to every believer who has been in the performance-driven, program-oriented trap of living the Christian life. It has been written for those who have come to the end of themselves and are now willing to cry out to the Lord for help. Years of striving to live the Christian life have taken a toll.
Practically speaking, this workbook provides a detailed examination of the Book of Galatians. Paul admonishes the believers in Galatia who are struggling because false teachers have come in with the lie that man can be sanctified through his work of religious activity. Paul warns that adding anything to God’s work of grace, whether its Christ’s finished work on the cross or the work of grace continuing now by His Spirit through the ministry of His Word, is a different gospel. Salvation, whether one is talking about justification, sanctification, or glorification, is wholly a work of the LORD God by grace alone through faith alone. The sooner we know and realize this truth, we can cease striving and rest in Him.
