Alongside : Loving Teenagers With The Gospel
$18.99
You don’t have to look too far for evidence that teenagers and young adults are struggling in our world. A changing culture, the ways social media connects (and alienates), the difficulties of starting a career, and so many other reasons that students struggle to know God, themselves, and their place in this world. There are many different explanations for why teenagers and young adults struggle, but one thing they all have in common is a desire to be loved. Students today are hungry for love. If the gospel is the greatest love story ever told, how do we come alongside to share it with our young friends? Sharing the gospel is far more than sharing information. It’s opening up our lives and sharing our souls. It’s unveiling our longings, fears, and joys. It’s inviting others into our mess and being willing to step into theirs.
This book will inspire and direct you in coming alongside the students in your life, whether you are a parent, youth pastor, youth group leader, grandparent, coach, or teacher. If Jesus has come alongside you, you can bring Jesus to the young people in your life. Alongside gives readers the insight, tools, framework, and inspiration to share Jesus and your life with students and to communicate the gospel by your actions and your words. With students, as with all of us, the word and deed of the gospel must go hand in hand.
-Experienced youth pastor and long-time Young Life leader gives clear direction on sharing the gospel with teens
-Readers will be invited to understand the world that students live in, to hear their cries for help, and given practical strategies for coming alongside them
-Direction on how to present the gospel in word and deed
-A clear, compelling gospel presentation for teens and young adults
-Encouragement to live in hope because Jesus has come alongside us and changed us

Friend Of God Study Guide (Student/Study Guide)
$14.99‘Abraham believed God, and God counted him as righteous because of his faith. He was even called the friend of God.’ (James 2.23)
Abraham is the only character in the Bible to be described in that way, and John C. Lennox shows us why. Throughout the Bible Abraham is seen as a pivotal figure in God’s plan of salvation, and in Friend of God Professor Lennox helps us to see through the mists of the past to the real flesh-and-blood man, with all his strengths and weaknesses.
This study guide to Friend of God is packed with thought-provoking suggestions for private reflection or group discussion, drawing out the many ways in which the story of Abraham can teach us how to live faithfully in a world of religious doubt and scepticism today.

Mothers And Daughters Of The Bible Speak
$16.97God always keeps His promises, but not always in the way we expect….
“Have faith” is a phrase we hear all the time. But what does it actually look like to live it out? In The Mothers and Daughters of the Bible Speak, Shannon Bream examines the lives of biblical women to see how God’s plans can turn our worlds upside down. She tells the story of Jochebed, a mother who took enormous risks to protect her son, Moses, from Pharaoh. Could Jochebed have imagined that God’s actual design for her son involved flight into exile and danger? And yet this was all part of the master plan to deliver Israel from slavery. Another biblical mother, Rebekah, made terrible choices in an attempt to ensure her son’s place in history. And a daughter, Michal, struggled to keep her faithless father, Saul, from sin, while battling pride in herself.
Through these stories, Shannon explains the intimate connection between faith and family–and how God’s unexpected agenda can redefine the way we think about family. Not all of these mothers and daughters in the Bible were paragons of virtue. Like us, they were human beings who faltered and struggled to do their best. While some heard God’s voice, others chose their own paths. Through the lens of their imperfections, we can see how God used their stories to bring about His divine plans. He’s still doing the same work in our lives today.
The Mothers and Daughters of the Bible Speak shows that faith is more often a twisting road than a straight line. Yet, as the stories of biblical families attest, at the end of these journeys lies greater peace and joy than we could ever imagine.
