Fake Christianity : 10 Traps Of An Inauthentic Faith And How To Avoid Them
$15.99
We are the problem. But Jesus can save us from ourselves.
Fake Christianity is deceptive and deadly. And, unfortunately, it’s very much alive today. We can easily recognize problems and hypocrisy around us. But it takes humility and courage to face the error and deception within us. With a pastoral heart, Jed Coppenger shows us how unnoticed hypocrisy, like prayerlessness, neglect of the Bible, gossip, bitterness, and every form of ungodliness, compromise our heart and weaken our Christian witness.
In Fake Christianity, Coppenger looks to the teachings of Jesus that address a culture remarkably like our own. He exposes ten traps of inauthentic faith and provides a gospel-centric response. The best way to tell a fake thing is to look at the real thing. That’s true when looking at gems. It’s also true of the Christian life. If we want to understand what’s true and good, we must look to Jesus. And we must listen to Him.
I’m praying that God would use this book to help Christians hear Jesus’ words more clearly. I hope every reader will be better equipped to join Jesus as He pushes back the darkness of hypocrisy with the light of the gospel.

God Story
$17.99What is my purpose? Where is my place? What is the point?
Within a culture of confusion, we need something to anchor ourselves in – or rather, someone. The God Story invites you to find yourself and your purpose within God’s overarching and awe-inspiring plans for humanity.
Faithfully unfolding the narrative of Scripture in a chronological yet poetic way, The God Story welcomes you to immerse yourself in the sacred themes of scripture – from work and rest, to sexuality and justice – whilst reinforcing the truth we can build our lives on: that God is love.
Exploring three common threads that permeate the pages of the Bible – the presence paradigm, the family paradigm, and the Kingdom paradigm – The God Story pulls us into a deeper knowledge of God, encouraging prayer, reflection and worship.
It is time to be enchanted afresh by the story of Scripture and in doing so to find personal fulfilment, transformation, and the inspiration to make a difference in today’s world.

And Yet : Finding Joy In Lament
$12.00In a life full of highs and lows, choice and challenges, the words ‘and yet’ can change everything. We are surrounded by darkness and yet there is light. We feel we are lacking and yet God provides. We are broken and bruised and yet there is hope.
In the depths of depression and plagued with suicidal thoughts, Rachael Newham never thought she’d find herself writing a book on joy. And yet, if her journey with mental health illness has taught her anything it is that true, deep, lasting joy can only be experienced when we allow ourselves to enter into lament and be honest about our pain before God.
With warm understanding, in this lovely Lent book for 2022 Rachael traces how Biblical writers used ‘and yet’ to bring together joy and lament and invites us to see them not as opposites, but two sides of the same coin. Drawing on her experiences with mental illness, she shows us how we can build a rhythm of both joy and lament into our lives both through the season of Lent and the rest of the church’s year.With forty reflections split over six sections And Yet is the perfect daily Lent devotional for 2022, but its undated readings can be used for periods of prayerful reflection throughout the year. This is a beautiful Christian book on lament ideal for anyone looking for to better understand how the tradition of lament and joy work together, and how they can make them a part of their everyday spiritual formation.
We may be living in dark circumstances – and yet with a few simple practices we can experience joy in every season.
