Your Longing Has A Name
$18.99
Have you ever wondered who God had in mind before you came to be?
The longing for purpose is hardwired into the fabric of our souls. Why are we here? How should we live? What is life about anyway? How can our souls flourish in unsettled times? The tragedy is that every day more and more Americans feel powerless to answer these vital questions. According to recent polls, 65 percent of Americans feel as though the last year sent them into a crisis of identity; 68 percent feel defeated; 61 percent feel alone; and 48 percent feel hopeless.
In Your Longing Has a Name, author, speaker, pastor, and theologian Dominic Done casts a much-needed vision of hope, showing us who God says we already are: created, loved, and called by him to live out his dream for our lives.
Dominic paints a compelling picture of what this vision looks like, weaving together:
*a unique approach to understanding purpose and faith,
*fresh language designed for current times of crisis and spiritual uncertainty,
*spiritual formation that focuses less on rules-based legalism and more on identity in Christ,
*deeply moving personal stories, biblical insights, and relatable discussions on the human ache for meaning, as well as
*examples from history, literature, art, and culture.
Your Longing Has a Name is a perfect choice for those of us struggling to find purpose, seeking self-awareness, and looking for a way forward in our personal journeys and relationships with God.

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.

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.
