Augustine, says Smith, is the patron saint of restless hearts–a guide who has been there, asked our questions, and knows our frustrations and failed pursuits.

Method Of Christian Theology
$22.99Add to cartWhen handling the things of God, our method matters.
Everyone who thinks about God has a method for approaching the subject, whether they recognize it or not. A theological method addresses foundational questions such as: What is theology? How should we approach Scripture? What is the role of tradition, philosophy, and experience? How do we use theology in ministering to others? These questions are vital for anyone studying God and his Word-how one defines theology, sees its task, and uses its sources will shape one’s doctrine, for better or worse.
In The Method of Christian Theology, Rhyne Putman guides readers through the essential first words of systematic theology. Written for entry-level theology students, this book gives clear suggestions about how to use theological sources, how to reason through difficult problems, and how to apply theological reflection to paper writing and preaching.

Swift
$14.99Add to cartTo save her people, a wingless girl must learn to fly…
As a piskey girl born without wings and raised underground, Ivy yearns for flight almost as much as she misses her long-lost mother.

Piensa Mejor Sin Pensar Demasi
$14.99Add to cartPensar demasiado no es un rasgo de la personalidad. Es la forma mas disimulada de miedo. Roba tiempo, creatividad y metas. Es la cosa mas cara y menos productiva en la que invierten las empresas sin siquiera saberlo. Y es una epidemia. Cuando el autor mas vendido del New York Times, Jon Acuff, cambio su vida al transformar su habito de pensar demasiado, se pregunto si otras personas podrian beneficiarse de lo que descubrio. Encargo un estudio de investigacion para preguntar a 10.000 personas si tambien tienen problemas con el pensamiento excesivo, y el 99,5 por ciento dijo: !Si!
La buena noticia es que en Piensa mejor sin pensar demasiado, Acuff ofrece un plan probado para convertir en super poder el super problema de pensar demasiado.
Cuando no controlamos nuestros pensamientos, nuestros pensamientos nos controlan a nosotros. Si nuestros dias estan llenos de pensamientos repetidos sin vigencia, los pensamientos son nuestro peor enemigo, impidiendonos las cosas que realmente queremos. Pero la solucion para pensar demasiado no es dejar de pensar. La solucion es hacer funcionar nuestro cerebro con mejores pensamientos. Una vez que aprendemos a elegir nuestros pensamientos, estos se convierten en nuestros mejores amigos, impulsandonos hacia nuestras metas.
Si quieres aprovechar el sorprendente poder de pensar demasiado y dar a tus sueos mas tiempo y creatividad, aprende a interpretar los pensamientos repetidos que te definen. Si puedes preocuparte, puedes preguntarte. Si puedes dudar, puedes dominar. Si puedes girar, puedes volar.
Overthinking isn’t a personality trait. It’s the sneakiest form of fear.
It steals time, creativity, and goals. It’s the most expensive, least productive thing companies invest in without even knowing it. And it’s an epidemic. When New York Times bestselling author Jon Acuff changed his life by transforming his overthinking, he wondered if other people might benefit from what he discovered. He commissioned a research study to ask 10,000 people if they struggle with overthinking too, and 99.5 percent said, Yes!The good news is that in Piensa mejor sin pensar demasiado, Acuff offers a proven plan to change overthinking from a super problem into a superpower.
When we don’t control our thoughts, our thoughts control us. If our days are full of broken soundtracks, thoughts are our worst enemy, holding us back from the things we really want. But the solution to overthinking isn’t to stop thinking. The solution is Continue Reading Piensa Mejor Sin Pensar Demasi
God Of The Mundane
$12.99Add to cartIt’s OK to not be a radical Christian. Our life is not about what we do for God. It’s about what he does for us.
You’ve heard the message. If you really loved God, you would be totally committed-do something big, sell your belongings, maybe become a missionary. Matt Redmond has preached it himself. But here he simply asks: What about the rest of us?
Through stories of pastors, plumbers, dental hygienists, and stay-at-home moms, Matt finds grace and mercy in chicken fingers, classic films, and smiles from strangers. Ultimately, he convicts us of what he has learned himself…
There is a God of the mundane, and our life is not about what we do for him. It’s about what he does for us. Continue Reading God Of The Mundane

Dust
$14.99Add to cartThe truth about Neverland is far more dangerous than a fairy tale…

Peter Pan is having a beastly time getting back to Neverland. Grounded in London and hunted by his own Lost Boys, Peter searches for the last hope of restoring his crumbling island: a lass with magic in her veins.

Reforesting Faith : What Trees Teach Us About The Nature Of God And His Lov
$16.00Add to cartThis groundbreaking walk through Scripture by former physician and carpenter Dr. Matthew Sleeth makes the convincing case that trees reveal more about God and faith than you ever imagined.
Fifteen years ago, Matthew Sleeth believed that science and logic held the answers to everything. But when tragedy struck, he opened the Bible for the first time and was surprised to find that God chose to tell the gospel story through a trail of trees.
There’s a tree on the first page of Genesis, in the first psalm, on the first page of the New Testament, and on the last page of Revelation. The Bible’s wisdom is referred to as a tree of life. Every major biblical character and every major theological event has a tree marking the spot. A tree was the only thing that could kill Jesus–and the only thing Jesus ever harmed.
Reforesting Faith is the rare book that builds bridges by connecting those who love the Creator with creation and those who love creation with the Creator.
Join Dr. Sleeth as he explores the wonders of life, death, and rebirth through the trail of trees in Scripture. Once you discover the hidden language of trees, your walk through the woods–and through Scripture–will never be the same. Continue Reading Reforesting Faith : What Trees Teach Us About The Nature Of God And His Lov
Looking For God In Messy Places
$18.99Add to cartHope is the power that gets us out of bed in morning and gives us the courage to face adversity. But often we lose hope in busyness, comparison, stress, and overwhelm-the messy places of life.
Looking for God in Messy Places by Jake Owensby is a book about hope. How to find it. How to practice it. How to grow in it. How it makes life worth living. Because when we look for God in the middle of the mess, we find hope.
This book is for anyone who has ever been frozen in place by loss or regret, anyone who has endured suffering, cruelty, or rejection. From word to word and page to page, readers will experience themselves as God’s beloved-so that they can be hopeful.
From the introduction:
[This book is] For those whose struggles have been long and for those who are growing weary from heavy burdens. For those facing an unforeseen crisis or for those enduring a slow personal train wreck. For those whose throats have grown raw from crying for justice and for those whose wounds have gone unhealed. This is a book about hope, and I have written it especially for those who refuse to yield to discouragement and despair.Topics include:
*Love and Hope
*Finding Hope
*Called to Love
*Learning to Hope
*Faith and Hope Continue Reading Looking For God In Messy Places

$15.99Add to cartSabemos que el liderazgo no es exclusivo de las oficinas y los presupuestos multimillonarios; algunos de los mejores lideres son los mentores y tecnicos que se sienten mas comodos tras bastidores. Pero, y si ser un lider eficaz no se trata solo de tener ideas innovadoras y altos niveles de productividad?

– Reconocer el poder de convertirse en una persona sociable
– Crear una cultura y un entorno donde la vision compartida del equipo pueda crecerLas personas son la parte mas importante de la vida. Aprendamos a liderar como si nos gustaramos el uno al otro.
We know leadership is not exclusive to corner offices and multimillion-dollar budgets–some of the best leaders are the mentors and technicians who are more comfortable behind the scenes. But what if being an effective leader isn’t just about having innovative ideas and high levels of productivity? What if becoming a great leader is more about prioritizing self-awareness and people skills than production and performance?
Help! I Work with People is not a book about leadership theory, but rather a handbook on how to connect with people and influence them for good.
With his signature transparent and relatable storytelling, Chad Veach uses modern research and biblical principles to encourage you to lean into your leadership potential regardless of your level of influence or experience. In short and easily digestible chapters, he addresses the three phases of becoming a quality leader:
– learning to lead the hardest person you will ever be in charge of–yourself
– recognizing the power of becoming a people person
– creating a culture and environment where the team’s shared vision can growPeople are the most important part of life. Continue Reading Ayuda Trabajo Con Personas
Rooms Of A Mothers Heart
$16.99Add to cartFor thousands of years and in a myriad of cultures, women have forged identity, unconditional love, and vast purpose in the calling of motherhood. From Eve to Sarah, from Ruth to Mary, the Scriptures are filled with the accounts of the heart of a mother who was given a divine opportunity to raise the next generation for the purposes and call of the Father.
Inside the soul of every mother lies a heart that becomes a repository of sweet memories, hard lessons, glorious victories, ordinary days, glaring failures, and God’s grace over the years of mothering. The heart of a mother becomes home to jokes around the dinner table, holiday traditions, the tears of childhood, and the love that only a mother knows. And this tender heart that has given birth to the future of mankind or has lovingly adopted the seeds of the next generation also develops rooms of unsurpassed greatness and quiet strength. These are the Rooms of a Mother’s Heart.
With her characteristic charm, joy, and biblical teaching that she shares like a good friend over a cup of coffee, Carol McLeod examines what it means to be a mother and offers tender encouragement to all women who accept that calling. Continue Reading Rooms Of A Mothers Heart

Seek First The Kingdom Bible Study Book (Student/Study Guide)
$22.25Add to cartAs Christians, we live busy and harried lives, most often because we are eager and earnest to join with God in His work in the world.
In the confusion and sheer volume of opportunities and ideas vying for our attention, we must constantly return to the words of Jesus to find our focus and purpose, for the truths He spoke, when believed and applied, lead to our flourishing. Using parables and stories, Jesus spoke most often of the kingdom of God as what matters-the ways of the kingdom, the values of the kingdom, and the cultivation of the kingdom here on earth in light of its fulfillment in heaven. In other words, the kingdom of God defines who we are and what we do as Christians.
Many Christians don’t have a working knowledge of the kingdom and their true citizenship in a way that affects their daily lives and decisions. Seek First the Kingdom cuts through the clutter of life with the words of Jesus, urging readers to stop, think, take notice, and reorient themselves solidly around the kingdom.

Until Unity
$17.99Add to cartThe Church becomes more divided each day.
Many seek reassurance or perceived unity by creating doctrinal statements, but that misses the point. Doctrine is necessary but it is not the solution.
In his new book Until Unity, New York Times best-selling author, Francis Chan, shows readers that the real problem is shallow or even non-existent love for each other. Do we truly understand the gospel? Do we believe in the miracle of the Holy Spirit in us? As believers, Christians are supposed to yield the fruit of supernatural love for one another. Instead, we allow jealousy and selfish ambition to prevail.
God hates this division between His children–and our indifference to it. He has provided the solution to the Church through gifting of leaders to equip His people in a way that leads to unity of the faith–but not at the expense of truth or holiness. Believers have done a poor job at this, but we can hear the call and be eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace (Ephesians 4:3).
Although the Bible commands unity, some will resist these unifying efforts. We see it every day. We have to hate sin, love truth, and pursue unity for the Church . This is messy, but no matter what, Christians must give everything they have to the pursuit of a unified, restored Bride. Continue Reading Until Unity

2. Real faith, where we do not see, hear, or touch, yet we believe-and receive.
We might understand this difference intellectually. Yet if we’re not actually applying it in our everyday lives, it can have serious consequences for our relationship with God and the effectiveness of our prayers. Some people lose faith altogether when they feel God has not heard their requests. Many whose prayer lives were ineffective have turned to philosophical and metaphysical cults. Unanswered prayers stand between the believer and a life of faith.
No matter what we may think or feel in the natural, God’s Word is true, and it is the only foundation for faith. To help us live in this reality, we must actively exercise faith rather than hope. You never receive what you are hoping for. Hope is always in the future. But faith is now!
As we become one with the Living Word in our actions, faith will become an unconscious reality for us. We will never need to struggle to produce faith. We will only think of the need before us and God’s ability to meet it. Real faith means acting on the Word, independent of any physical evidence. To believe is to step up to what God has said in His Word, and to have faith is to arrive there. Continue Reading 2 Kinds Of Faith

Gods Hostage : A True Story Of Persecution, Imprisonment, And Perseverance
$16.99Add to cartIn 1993, Andrew Brunson was asked to travel to Turkey, the largest unevangelized country in the world, to serve as a missionary. Though hesitant because of the daunting and dangerous task that lay ahead, Andrew and his wife, Norine, believed this was God’s plan for them.
What followed was a string of threats and attacks, but also successes in starting new churches in a place where many people had never met a Christian. As their work with refugees from Syria, including Kurds, gained attention and suspicion, Andrew and Norine acknowledged the threat but accepted the risk, determining to stay unless God told them to leave.

Plurality Principle : How To Build And Maintain A Thriving Church Leadershi
$17.99Add to cartBuilding and Sustaining a Thriving Leadership Culture
Foundational to a healthy church is a biblical model of church leadership. In the New Testament, church leadership is rarely a one-person endeavor-it is built around a plurality of elders working together, each bringing their own unique skills and gifts to the cause of shepherding the flock God has entrusted to them. There are many benefits to this model of leadership: being part of a team helps a church leader know his role, submit to authority, learn humility, and think about his gifts and position through the lens of what serves the church rather than his personal agenda. This argument in favor of elder plurality focuses both on how churches can build a healthy elder plurality and thrive as congregations once plurality is established.

The dishes, the diapers, the homework assignments, the grocery shopping, the sporting events, the music lessons–and those all have to happen before five. Then it’s time for the evening cycle.

Dont Miss The Moment
$18.99Add to cartPastor and popular Bible teacher Sheryl Brady helps Christians prepare for, recognize, and cultivate the powerful yet easily overlooked moments when God shows up in their lives.
Everyone experiences God moments, times when God pulls back the curtain and gives a glimpse of his active presence in their lives. Most of us operate under the misapprehension that these moments are rare occurrences that reveal themselves in grand fashion. We expect bells ringing, lights flashing, and neon signs that point to earthshaking revelations.
But God often speaks in whispers, strategically and incrementally unveiling his plans, preparations, and purposes through the most unassuming circumstances. The key is to learn how to prepare for, recognize, and be faithful in these moments.
In Don’t Miss the Moment, Pastor Sheryl Brady reminds Christians that God is real and unwaveringly present in our daily lives. Through biblical teaching and personal stories of God showing up in times of need, she shows how to pursue deeper relationship with the Faithful One so that we can learn to hear his voice and feel his leading, discern when we are in a defining moment, and redirect our hearts and lives toward his plans and purposes.

Postmortem Opportunity : A Biblical And Theological Assessment Of Salvation
$40.00Add to cartOne of Jesus’ most basic commands to his disciples was to tell the world about the good news of his life, death, and resurrection.
From the earliest days of the church, Christians have embraced this calling. But for those Christians who emphasize the need for an active response to the gospel in order to be saved, this raises some difficult questions: What about those who did not hear the gospel before death? Or what about those who heard an incorrect or incomplete version of the gospel? Or what about those who were too young or who were otherwise unable to respond? In light of these challenging questions, theologian James Beilby offers a careful consideration of the possibility for salvation after death. After examining the biblical evidence and assessing the theological implications, he argues that there is indeed hope for faith–even beyond death.

Letters For The Church
$30.00Add to cartThe Catholic Epistles often get short shrift. Tucked into a few pages near the back of our Bibles, these books are sometimes referred to as the non-Pauline epistles or concluding letters, maybe getting lumped together with Hebrews and Revelation. Yet these letters, Darian Lockett argues, are treasures hidden in plain sight, and it’s time to give them the attention they deserve. In Letters for the Church, Lockett reveals how the Catholic Epistles provide a unique window into early Christian theology and practice. Based on evidence from the early church, he contends that the seven letters of James, 1-2 Peter, 1-3 John, and Jude were accepted into the canon as a collection and should be read together. Here Lockett introduces the context and content of the Catholic Epistles while emphasizing how all seven letters are connected. Each chapter outlines the author, audience, and genre of one of the epistles, traces its flow of thought, and explores shared themes with the other Catholic Epistles. The early church valued the Catholic Epistles for multiple reasons: they defend orthodox faith and morals against the challenges of heretics, make clear that Christianity combines belief with action, and round out the New Testament witness to Christian faith and life. By introducing the coherent vision of these seven epistles, Letters for the Church helps us rediscover these riches. Continue Reading Letters For The Church
Lead Like It Matters To God
$25.00Add to cartRichard Stearns is a leader who has been tested as a CEO in both secular companies and also as the head of one of the world’s largest Christian ministries.
After stints as CEO of Parker Brothers and then Lenox, Stearns accepted the invitation to leave his corporate career to become the president of World Vision US, where he became the longest serving president in their seventy-year history. During his tenure there he implemented corporate best practices, lowering overheads while tripling revenues. His leadership in calling the American church to respond to some of the greatest crises of our time, notably the HIV and AIDS pandemic, and the global refugee crisis, challenged Christians to embrace a bold vision for compassion, mercy, and justice. In Lead Like It Matters to God, Stearns shares the leadership principles he has learned over the course of his remarkable career. As a leader who has navigated both secular and sacred spaces, Stearns claims that the values Christian leaders embrace in their workplaces are actually more important than the results they achieve–that God is more concerned about a leader’s character than a leader’s success. With wisdom, wit, and biblical teaching, Stearns shares captivating stories of his life journey and unpacks seventeen crucial values that can transform leaders and their organizations. When leaders embody values such as integrity, courage, excellence, forgiveness, humility, surrender, balance, generosity, perseverance, love, excellence, and encouragement, they not only improve their witness for Christ, they also shape institutions, influence culture, improve team performance, and create healthy workplaces where people can flourish. Through this book, Stearns will inspire a new generation of Christian leaders to boldly take their values into their workplaces to tangibly demonstrate the character of Christ, the love of Christ, and the truth of Christ as they live out their faith in full view of others.

Positive Psychology In Christian Perspective
$45.00Add to cartOriginally the field of psychology had a threefold mission: to cure mental illness, yes, but also to find ways to make life fulfilling for all and to maximize talent. Over the last century, a focus on mental illness has often been prioritized over studies of health, to the point that many people assume psychologist is just another way of saying psychotherapist. This book is about one attempt to restore the discipline’s larger mission.
Positive psychology attends to what philosophers call the good life. It is about fostering strength and living well–about how to do a good job at being human. Some of that will involve cheerful emotions, and some of it will not. There are vital roles to be played by archetypal challenges such as those involving self-control, guilt, and grit, and even the terror of death enters into positive psychology’s vision of human flourishing. Charles Hackney connects this still-new movement to foundational concepts in philosophy and Christian theology. He then explores topics such as subjective states, cognitive processes, and the roles of personality, relationships, and environment, also considering relevant practices in spheres from the workplace to the church and even the martial arts dojo. Hackney takes seriously the range of critiques positive psychology has faced as he frames a constructive future for Christian contributions to the field.

Parables : Jesus’s Friendly Subversive Speech
$22.99Add to cartA comprehensive study of Jesus’ parables that emphasizes personal reflection and application
Jesus’ parables used familiar situations to convey deep spiritual truths in ways that are provocative and subversive of the status quo. Prayerfulness was pictured by a persistent widow. The joy of salvation in the homecoming of a lost son. Love of neighbor by a marginalized Samaritan. If we’re not careful, we can easily miss details in the parables that reveal their subtle meanings as well as their contemporary relevance.
Drawing on scholarship on the parables as well as theological, pastoral, and practical insights, Douglas Webster guides the reader through each of Jesus’ parables, pointing out the important nuances that allow us to understand them and be transformed by them. Reflection questions at the end of each chapter can be used for personal or group study, and an appendix for pastors provides guidance for preaching the parables. Pastors, Bible teachers, and serious students of Scripture will find this tour through Jesus’ parabolic teaching to be a feast for both the mind and the soul.

Indebted Earl
$15.99Add to cartCan Captain Wyvern keep his new marriage of convenience all business–or will it turn into something more?
Captain Charles Wyvern owes a great debt to the man who saved his life–especially since Major Richardson lost his own life in the process. The best way to honor that hero’s dying wish is for Wyvern to escort the man’s grieving fiancee and mother safely to a new cottage home by the sea. But along the way, he learns of another obligation that has fallen on his shoulders: his uncle has died and the captain is now the Earl of Rothwell.
When he and the ladies arrive at his new manor house in Devon, they discover an estate in need of a leader and a gaggle of girls, all wards of the former earl. War the new earl knows; young ladies and properties he does not. Still wishing to provide for the bereaved Lady Sophia Haverly, Charles proposes a marriage of convenience.
Sophie is surprised to find she isn’t opposed to the idea. It will help her care for her betrothed’s elderly mother, and she’s already fallen in love with the wayward girls on the Rothwell estate. This alliance is a chance to repay the captain who has done so much for her care, as well as divert her attention from her grief. When Wyvern returns to his sea commission, she’ll stay behind to oversee his property and wards.
It sounds so simple. Until the stalwart captain is arrested on suspicion of smuggling, and Sophie realizes how much he’s come to mean to her. Now she’ll have to learn to fight, not only for his freedom but also for his love. Continue Reading Indebted Earl

That’s been true ever since he was a little pint-sized hustler selling candy and Capri Suns down at the public tennis courts in northeast Texas. You’ve probably seen him sweat on his television show, Fixer Upper. Deep in his bones he has always known that hard work yields great results, even when there’s little observable evidence of it. On the cusp of launching into what might be the hardest work he and his wife, Joanna, have ever done-building a television network-Chip realized that he’s as proud of the man he’s become as what he’s achieved, and that man would not exist without his network of people.
Call it a network, a community, a home team. We’ve all got one, including you. Today it might be made up of your family, your neighbors, the people you work with. But if you want a network that will pull you into a life of meaning, a life of joy and connection, you need to be intentional about choosing the people in it. People who are enlivened and electrified by the power of living according to their purpose, who are always in pursuit of lifelong learning, and who have a sincere belief that relationships are more than transactions. Chip Gaines has been building that kind of network his whole life, and he can tell you, it doesn’t come easy.
To say it requires sweat equity would be an understatement. It requires faith in people. It requires hope. And it requires a willingness to grow even when it hurts. In No Pain, No Gaines, through hard-won lessons and personal stories, Chip will coach you on how to build a network of your own that will make your life richer than you’ve ever imagined.

Have you ever gotten in a bra fight? (No, not a bar fight, a bra fight.) Kim and Penn Holderness have-a knock down, bruised-heart, lick-your-wounds brawl that started off with a perfectly harmless question about chicken wings. Every couple has these fights, the kind that go from zero to dialing a divorce lawyer before you know what hit you. They leave you feeling cold, resentful, and terribly alone. But it doesn’t have to be that way.
The Holdernesses that are seen on social media are goofy, funny, and joyous, which has earned them the adoration of millions of fans. But when they started noticing comments on their videos that said things like You are the perfect couple or #couplegoals, they thought, Who us? These people want to be more like us? So, they decided it was time to stop being polite and start getting real about what really goes on with any couple who seems to have it together.
With their trademark sense of humor and complete vulnerability, Penn and Kim share their ten most common Fight Fails and how to combat them, with additional guidance from Pastor Chris Edmonston on ways they can improve and change to solve issues. At the end of each chapter, the Holdernesses give couples a script for how to start, continue, and wrap up hard conversations. Couples will close the book equipped to engage and understand, not do battle. And maybe laugh a little more along the way.
In Everybody Fights, couples will learn how to:
*Conjure the magic of meta-communication
*Break free of secret contracts
*Run a P&L (prayer and laughter) analysis on your marriage
*Banish the three D’s (distraction, denial, delay)
*Carry your own baggage and help your partner with theirsPenn and Kim want people to know they’re not alone-that marriage is messy. Marriage is work. But marriage is worth it. Fight for it. Continue Reading Everybody Fights : So Why Not Get Better At It

Tale Of Two Kings
$18.99Add to cartWill the Real King Please Stand Up?
From the very beginning, the Bible tells a story of redemption. God made the first man to rule as king over all He created, only to see Adam’s reign end before it had barely begun. God knew all this and that’s why He sent the One True King, Jesus, to dwell with us and reclaim what Adam had lost, saving mankind from the penalty of sin.
Bestselling author Gloria Furman makes this concept come alive for kids in this colorful and creative book comparing Adam, the archetype, with Christ, the last Adam. Children will learn that while Adam’s sin sentenced all of us to death, Jesus’s crucifixion and glorious resurrection restored the promise of eternal life for all those who believe in Him.
Kids will be reassured that because Jesus is still on the throne, they can trust him whenever they feel sad or scared. There’s nothing that Christ their King can’t do for them! Continue Reading Tale Of Two Kings
Echoing Hope : Looking For Jesus When Life Hurts
$16.00Add to cartWhere is Jesus when we need him most? An influential pastor shares how despair can lead us to discover true hope and a deeper relationship with God, helping us emerge stronger and more joyful from times of crisis.
When a small group of women went to mourn the death of Jesus, they were met with shocking words: He is not here. For a moment, at the most painful juncture of their lives, even his body was gone from an echoing tomb. But thankfully their story does not stop there. Those words began in despair but ended in the joy of new life. In this debut book from pastor and blogger Kurt Willems, that striking image is unpacked with a power that can change our lives. Why? Because though the tomb was empty and echoing, that was because the reality of resurrection was so much bigger than anyone could have expected, creating space for the beginning of a truly new life.
A Barna poll taken at the turn of the millennium revealed that the #1 question people would ask God was why he allows suffering. Life takes us all to painful places. Often Jesus seems distant when we need him to be near. But the story isn’t over. Jesus experiences our despair and invites us to see the beautiful potential of our lives as we discover that resurrection is real and that sometimes our emptiness allows hope to echo all the louder. With theological insight, personal honesty, and an eye for the radical humanity of Jesus, Kurt Willems helps us see how the redeeming suffering of Christ can change our experience of pain today.

Dusk Night Dawn
$20.00Add to cartFrom the bestselling author of Help, Thanks, Wow comes an inspiring guide to restoring hope and joy in our lives.
In Dusk, Night, Dawn, Anne Lamott explores the tough questions that many of us grapple with. How can we recapture the confidence we once had as we stumble through the dark times that seem increasingly bleak? As bad newspiles up–from climate crises to daily assaults on civility–how can we cope? Where, she asks, do we start to get our world and joy and hope and our faith in life itself back . . . with our sore feet, hearing loss, stiff fingers, poor digestion, stunned minds, broken hearts?
We begin, Lamott says, by accepting our flaws and embracing our humanity.
Drawing from her own experiences, Lamott shows us the intimate and human ways we can adopt to move through life’s dark places and toward the light of hope that still burns ahead for all of us.
As she does in Help, Thanks, Wow and her other bestselling books, Lamott explores the thorny issues of life and faith by breaking them down into manageable, human-sized questions for readers to ponder, in the process showing us how we can amplify life’s small moments of joy by staying open to love and connection. As Lamott notes in Dusk, Night, Dawn, I got Medicare three days before I got hitched, which sounds like something an old person might do, which does not describe adorably ageless me. Marrying for the first time with a grown son and a grandson, Lamott explains that finding happiness with a partner isn’t a function of age or beauty but of outlook and perspective.
Full of the honesty, humor, and humanity that have made Lamott beloved by millions of readers, Dusk, Night, Dawn is classic Anne Lamott–thoughtful and comic, warm and wise–and further proof that Lamott truly speaks to the better angels in all of us. Continue Reading Dusk Night Dawn

One similarity unites each testimony–that none of his most loyal and steadfast followers could see it was him, back from the dead. The reason for this is at the very foundation of the Christian faith.
She turned around and saw Jesus standing there, but she did not realize that it was Jesus. (John 20:14)
Hope in the Time of Fear is a book that unlocks the meaning of Jesus’s resurrection for readers. Easter is considered the most solemn and important holiday for Christians. It is a time of spiritual rebirth and a time of celebrating the physical rebirth of Jesus after three days in the tomb. For his devoted followers, nothing could prepare them for the moment they met the resurrected Jesus. Each failed to recognize him. All of them physically saw him and yet did not spiritually truly see him. It was only when Jesus reached out and invited them to see who he truly was that their eyes were open. Here the central message of the Christian faith is revealed in a way only Timothy Keller could do it–filled with unshakable belief, piercing insight, and a profound new way to look at a story you think you know. After reading this book, the true meaning of Easter will no longer be unseen. Continue Reading Hope In Times Of Fear

Wild At Heart Study Guide With DVD Updated Edition (Student/Study Guide)
$42.99Add to cartIn this updated edition of the bestselling classic, author John Eldredge reminds men they need adventure in their lives . . . in their work, in their love, and their spiritual lives. He reveals how God designed men to be dangerous. Simply look at the dreams and desires written in the heart of every boy: to be a hero, to be a warrior, and to live a life of adventure and risk. Sadly, most men today have abandoned these dreams and desires-aided by a Christianity that feels like nothing more than pressure to be a nice guy. It is no wonder that many men avoid church, and those who go are often passive and bored to death.
In this provocative six-session video study, John Eldredge explains how God wants to heal these deep wounds from earlier years that take away a man’s confidence and-in some cases-his masculinity. He shows that deep within the heart of every man is a longing for a battle to fight, an adventure to live, and a beauty to rescue-because that is how God created him. It is time for the church to reclaim these wounded warriors. It is time to give men permission to be what God designed them to be-dangerous, passionate, alive, and free!

1. The Heart of a Man
2. The Wound
3. A Battle to Fight

Captivating Study Guide With DVD Updated Edition (Student/Study Guide)
$44.99Add to cartEvery woman was once a little girl. And every little girl holds in her heart her most precious dreams. She longs to be swept up into a romance, to play an irreplaceable role in a great adventure, to be the beauty of the story. Those desires are far more than child’s play. They are the secret to the feminine heart.
And yet, how many women ever find that life? As the years pass by, the heart of a woman gets pushed aside, wounded, buried. She finds no romance except in novels, no adventure except on television, and she doubts very much that she will ever be the Beauty in any tale.
Most women think they have to settle for a life of efficiency and duty, striving to be the women they ought to be, but often feeling they have failed. Sadly, too many messages for Christian women add to the pressure. Do these ten things, and you will be a godly woman. The effect has not been good on the feminine soul. But her heart is still there. Sometimes when she watches a movie, sometimes in the wee hours of the night, her heart begins to speak again. A thirst rises within her to find the life she was meant to live, the life she dreamed of as a little girl.
In this video Bible study, the message of Captivating is that your heart matters more than anything else in all creation. The desires you had as a little girl and the longings you still feel are telling you of the life God created you to live. He offers to come now, as the Hero of your story-to rescue your heart and release you to live as a fully alive and feminine woman. A woman who is truly captivating.

7 Deadly Sins Of Women In Leadership
$28.99Add to cartFor the first time in modern history, women are making their way into strategic positions of influence and leadership within the church, public, corporate, charity and voluntary sectors, in unprecedented numbers. Women are called by God to flourish in these arenas. However, there are significant external and internal issues that hinder women in leadership in unique ways.
But if you think this book is only for women, you are gravely mistaken. While women’s entry onto the leadership arena may have been the catalyst to uncover deep-seated issues in leadership culture, the challenges addressed here are not unique to women in leadership alone.
In 7 Deadly Sins of Women in Leadership, Kate Coleman considers what lies at the root of the many challenges facing today’s leaders–women and men–and proposes ways of dealing with them. Effective leadership starts with you and, based on her 35 years of leadership experience, Kate explains how you can:
*Overcome limiting self-perceptions
*Establish boundaries
*Develop a tailor-made personal vision
*Cultivate a healthy work/life rhythm
*Stop being a people-pleaser
*Learn to confront not collude
*Be intentional with your inner circleWritten for every leader from any sector, this proven and practical book will enable you to identify and overcome self-defeating patterns of behavior, in ways that will radically transform your leadership. Continue Reading 7 Deadly Sins Of Women In Leadership
Parable Church : How The Teachings Of Jesus Shape The Culture Of Our Faith
$18.99Add to cartChrist never actually told us how to do church. So why is much of our time and energy as leaders and shepherds consumed with chasing after tips, tricks, and secrets to grow churches, hoping that they somehow also reach and maintain spiritual health?
Although Jesus never gave us directions for church, through his parables he creatively revealed what we should experience in our communities together–he revealed the culture of his kingdom. In Parable Church, pastor and author Mike Burnette unpacks unique insights from Jesus’ parables that can help us to understand and experience the full, transformative life in community we are divinely intended to live.
While we’ve tended to focus boundless energy on growing our churches through strategies, programs, and metric-based insights, Christ always focused on the heart and the values of the Father, the values that actually change lives. Parable Church weaves together personal narratives, unique cultural observations, and compellingly fresh biblical insights to paint a picture of something unimaginably greater than what most people think of when they think of Jesus or his Church.

Emotionally Healthy Discipleship
$26.99Add to cartPastors and church leaders want to see lives changed by the gospel. They work tirelessly to care for people, initiate new programs and ministries, preach new sermon series, and keep up with the latest trends. Sadly, it would seem that much of this effort is not resulting in deeply changed disciples.
Why? Because many churches are unknowingly operating from a shallow discipleship that allows people to recycle the same problems year after year. Church goers are increasingly passive with lives not distinct from the culture. People are not able to integrate anger and sadness. Many are defensive and incapable of revealing their own weaknesses. Church leaders desperately need a better way of teaching people what it means to follow Jesus in a transformative way.
In Emotionally Healthy Discipleship, bestselling author Pete Scazzero combines three decades of wisdom with hard lessons from his own ministry journey. He lays out what is required for church leaders to multiply deeply-changed people who are growing in relationship with God, themselves and others.
Scazzero begins with four beneath-the-surface, systemic gaps that undermine serious discipleship. He provides a clear vision for a church culture that deeply changes lives and then practically unpacks the seven biblical marks of emotionally healthy discipleship:
1. Learn to Be Before You Do
2. Follow the Crucified, Not the Americanized, Jesus
3. Receive the Gift of Limits
4. Befriend Suffering and Loss
5. Break the Power of the Past
6. Practice the Presence of People
7. Lead Out of Brokenness and VulnerabilityFinally, he lays out practical steps for you to create an emotionally healthy discipleship culture that actually has the power to change the world. Continue Reading Emotionally Healthy Discipleship
Starfish And The Spirit
$24.99Add to cartLeveraging the metaphor Ori popularized in his NYT best-selling book, The Starfish and the Spider, Ori Brafman shows why the distributed structures of starfish organizations are uniquely fit to the church. They can function without a rigid central authority, and their regenerative abilities make them nimbler in reacting to external forces. Seeding starfish networks inside todays churches will prepare the church of tomorrow to be agile while still maintaining the necessary accountability to be effective.
Rather than advocating the adoption of a starfish structure in place of the hierarchy of the spider, Brafman, along with pastors Lance Ford and Rob Wegner, emphasize the advantages of adapting the structure and order inherent in a spider organization toward a hybrid model–either a Spiderfish approach (leaning toward centralization) or a Starder approach (leaning toward decentralization).
The Starfish and the Spirit is about creating a culture where church leaders view themselves as curators of a community on mission, not the source of certainty for every question and project. It is about creating a team of humble leaders in the middle of the church, not at the top–leaders who naturally reproduce multiple generations of leaders, from the middle out on mission. Imagine a church led by a team whose gifts and talents are completely unleashed, enabling everyone to show up and step up with all they really are. The joy and vigor coming from the collective strength, intelligence, and skill in the community of leaders not only brings greater potency but better yields for your ministry as well. What would it be like to see this kind of healthy leadership reproduced into the second, third, and fourth generation, on multiple strands? Continue Reading Starfish And The Spirit

Hidden Man : The Secret To Living In The Spirit Realm
$13.99Add to cartThe Hidden Man by E. W. Kenyon is a masterly unveiling of the deeper walk in the Spirit. The hidden man of the heart is the human spirit recreated in Christ. The only way to know God and the Lord Jesus Christ is through the spirit because this is how God imparts His messages to us. He unveils spiritual realities to our hidden man, and one of those vital messages is an understanding of our identity in Christ. It is of utmost importance that we understand who we are. Until we do, we can’t know the riches that belong to us and the abilities that are ours.
Faith, like wisdom, is a product of our spirit. Until our spirit gains mastery over our senses, our faith will never be strong and vigorous. Faith is developed and wisdom is enriched as we meditate and act on the Word of God.
The secret of the divine life is to learn how to live in the spirit realm and have one’s lamp filled with the oil of heaven. This book will open new spiritual vistas and make the Word a thrilling reality for you! Continue Reading Hidden Man : The Secret To Living In The Spirit Realm

The path you take to achieving your dreams is not always easy. Daniel Ponce de Leon, an acclaimed pitcher for the St. Louis Cardinals, overcame many challenges to get to the Major Leagues.
