Death Of Porn
$16.99How to Fight Pornography through Honest Community
Pastor Ray Ortlund calls pornography the “wallpaper of the world”-so widespread that it can’t be avoided. No man is free from exposure to it. So how can every man fight to get his dignity back? How can men band together to stop playing defense and start playing offense against the industry creating porn?
The Death of Porn is a series of personal letters to young men, calling an entire generation to believe in their God-given royalty and to push back against the degrading porn industry. As men walk together in honesty and prayer, they can diminish the industry, pushing it out to the margins of culture, stigmatizing its image, choking its demand, calling its bluff, and reducing its income. Men standing together to lead the movement as champions of nobility can build a new world where all people are dignified as never before.

Battle Cry : Waging And Winning The War Within
$19.99Defying a culture that proclaims “real men don’t cry”, Jason Wilson calls listeners to unlearn society’s definition of masculinity and discover the freedom and healing of engaging with and mastering their emotions.
For decades, Jason Wilson tried his best to “be a man” and hide how he felt. He didn’t know how to express his emotions without exploding or imploding and blamed everyone else for the way he felt. This went on until he finally released years of past trauma and pain to grasp healing for him and his family. Learning how to master his emotions and practice healthy vulnerability transformed his life and relationships in ways he never could have imagined, and he now seeks to reveal the lies that many men believe about true manhood.
Using the principles he’s learned and instills at the CATTA, his training academy for young men – principles about living fearlessly from your heart and not from your hurt, winning battles before they turn into wars, and seeing the difference between aggression and assertiveness – Wilson shows listeners how to:
*stop allowing the world’s understanding of masculinity to define manhood and instead live boldly from their heart, not their fears;
*rule their emotions rather than become slaves to them;
*release trauma from their past so they can live fully to their potential in the present;
*communicate more effectively with people in their lives so they can love without limits.

On Wings Like Eagles
$15.99I had a nightmare last night. I’d been crying out for help, but no one heard my silent screams.
Growing up in the home of an absent father and an emotionally abusive mother, Tom Stewart was an easy mark for a predator. Conditioned for compliance and desperate for affirmation from authority figures, Tom falls prey to a decade of abuse by his Boy Scout leader.
The trauma of his stolen childhood follows him into the future, where he encounters more than his fair share of trials. Through a health crisis, broken relationships, and the tragic loss of a loved one, Tom clings to his unwavering faith. When a landmark lawsuit sets him on the long road to forgiveness and healing, Tom begins to see God’s purpose for his pain. Rather than retreating into bitterness, Tom faces his past, proving that even in the worst of circumstances, God can turn evil for good.
In his heartrending memoir, Tom delivers a message of hope in the face of unthinkable hurt. On Wings like Eagles is a story of perseverance and the power of forgiveness, reminding us that by the grace of God, it is possible to rise above our brokenness.

From Broken To Beloved
$15.99You are invited on a journey of awakening, where the wonder of who you truly are is unleashed through the transforming power of Jesus Christ.
One of the most important discoveries any of us will ever make is that the Christian life is not an achievement but an awakening-something initiated by God and empowered by his Spirit. It demands nothing more than that we position ourselves for the transformational journey that he intends. When we do this, a wonder is birthed inside of us that is a reflection of God himself.
The acceptance and spiritual vibrancy we long for won’t be won through personal effort. Good behavior and dedicated service within the church won’t enable us to see who we really are. As important as these commitments may be, they are not prerequisites to experiencing intimacy with the Lord or to receiving affirmation of our self-worth.
The truth is that God has already placed brilliance inside of us. We are one-of-a-kind works of art, uniquely valuable not by virtue of what we do but by virtue of who we are-beloved children gathered into the heart of the Father who has made us in his image. Unfortunately, many of us are clueless about our true identity because it is buried beneath layers of personal brokenness.
From Broken to Beloved will lead you step-by-step, enabling you to say yes to the work Jesus wants to do within you. As you take one step after the other, you will begin to realize that “awakening” is not simply a beautiful concept but a healing experience that will enable you to see who you are so that you can receive everything God intends for your life.

Deeper : Real Change For Real Sinners
$21.99Experience Real Change through Dependence on Christ
The Christian life is defined by growth. Few question the call of the Bible to grow in godliness, but the answer to exactly how this happens is often elusive.
In his newest book, Deeper, pastor and author Dane Ortlund takes Christians into the deep structures of biblical teaching on how they grow in grace–most fundamentally, by enjoying all that is already theirs in Christ. Ortlund brings believers into the fullness of Christ, the emptiness of self-reliance, and their need for union and communion with God. This book makes the case that a believer’s sanctification does not happen by doing more or becoming better, but by going deeper into the wondrous gospel truths that washed over them when they were first united to Christ. Each of its 9 chapters encourages readers to fix their gaze on Jesus in the battle against sin, casting themselves upon his grace.
Also available as a concise version: How Does God Change Us?

Over It
$20.80We don’t always talk about the expectations we feel and the pressure to exceed them, but maybe we should… Unspoken expectations surround us. In culture, in the church, and in general. If they weren’t pushed on you as a child, you’re now scrolling through them as an adult. You should look like this, talk like that, dress like them. Own a house that looks like Joanna Gaines just decorated. Be as fit as your favorite Instagram mom, who somehow works out on her Peloton while balancing a newborn on one hip and her side hustle on the other. And, by the way, are you really in counseling this early in your marriage? The expectations surrounding us, particularly women, are ridiculous. What if we didn’t try to fulfill them and instead started believing the promises Jesus fulfilled? What if we didn’t cave to the expectation to look and behave how people want us to, and started looking at ourselves the way God sees us? What if we didn’t do everything the way we’ve always been told it has to be done, and started walking in bold, audacious faith? In Over It, Kelsey Taylor Grimm doesn’t show her best and hide the rest. Through the transparent telling of her own story, from an extensive, sexually and emotionally abusive relationship, to her ascension in the music industry, she invites you into her living room to talk through the ridiculous expectations of who you’re supposed to be, and encourages the reader to embrace the beautiful realities of who you already are.

Make A List
$25.99What if writing a list could literally change your life?
From the ancient book of Numbers to the latest clickbait listicle, list-writing has been a routine feature of human experience. Shopping lists. To-do lists. Guest lists. Bucket lists. Lists are everywhere you look.

In Make a List teacher, writer, and wordsmith Marilyn McEntyre shows readers how the simple act of writing a list can open doors to personal discovery and spiritual growth. Deepening her reflections with abundant writing prompts and real-life examples, McEntyre turns the humble list into a work of art-one that has the power to clear minds, open hearts, and change lives.

Count It All Joy
$14.99Can joy come from suffering?
We think of suffering as the worst of all evils. Our culture tells us to avoid it at all costs. But can suffering produce growth in us when we learn to endure it . . . then value it . . . then allow God to redeem it?
John Perkins’ response to suffering at the hands of a white sheriff in a Mississippi jail became the springboard that God used to put him in front of U.S. presidents, international politicians, and evangelical church leaders. Perkins sees endurance in suffering as a virtue that makes us more like Christ and ultimately produces uncommon joy in the heart of the sufferer who trusts in Him. Christ walked the path of love all the way to the cross, and even in the midst our brokenness, we can do the same.
In Count it All Joy, you will be encouraged to lean into suffering when it comes your way, stand alongside others who suffer, and believe that God will repurpose your suffering according to His good plan. God doesn’t intend your life to be free of all suffering. Instead, He wants you trust Him in the midst of it and discover the unexpected joy that trials can produce.

Case For Heaven
$21.99Bestselling and award-winning author Lee Strobel interviews experts about the evidence for the afterlife and offers credible answers to the most provocative questions about what happens when we die, near-death experiences, heaven, and hell.
We all want to know what awaits us on the other side of death, but is there any reliable evidence that there is life after death? Investigative author Lee Strobel offers a lively and compelling study into one of the most provocative topics of our day.
Through fascinating conversations with respected scholars and experts–a neuroscientist from Cambridge University, a researcher who analyzed a thousand accounts of near-death experiences, and an atheist-turned-Christian-philosopher–Strobel offers compelling reasons for why death is not the end of our existence but a transition to an exciting world to come. Looking at biblical accounts, Strobel unfolds what awaits us after we take our last breath and answers questions like:
*Is there an afterlife?
*What is heaven like?
*How will we spend our time there?
*And what does it mean to see God face to face?With a balanced approach, Strobel examines the alternative of Hell and the logic of damnation, and gives a careful look at reincarnation, universalism, the exclusivity claims of Christ, and other issues related to the topic of life after death. With vulnerability, Strobel shares the experience of how he nearly died years ago and how the reality of death can shape our lives and faith. Follow Strobel on this journey of discovery of the entirely credible, believable, and exhilarating life to come.

$18.99The Hard Good shows why the divine road that leads to God’s perfect plan for our lives is often paved with difficulties.
At our very core is the desire to be God’s woman or man-faithful, having fulfilled the potential God created in us.

Transforming Loneliness : Deepening Our Relationships With God And Others W

Through biblical principles and examples, along with true-life stories, you will discover how the core needs that drive your loneliness–the need to be known, to be chosen, to belong, and to be valued–can be met as God transforms your loneliness into a positive experience that accomplishes his purposes and draws you into a closer, more intimate, and more meaningful relationship with him and others.
Loneliness is not the last word. God designed you for connection, and through his power you will find it. Includes a reader’s discussion guide and the UCLA Loneliness Survey.

Get out there and follow your dreams! Be the hero of your own story! Find your happiness! Live your best life!

Contrary to what we’ve believed, the good life we crave is not accomplished through unfettered options or even hustle and hurry. In fact, it can only be found in the confines of God’s loving limits.

This is the spacious life–finding true freedom within the good limits given to us by our good God.

If you are tired, sad, yet always longing, bestselling author Jared C. Wilson has incredible news for you: that kind of love actually exists, and it is actually something you can experience–whether or not you’re in a romantic relationship. In his signature reflective, conversational, and often humorous style, Wilson unpacks 1 Corinthians 13 to show us what real love looks like. Through engaging stories and touching anecdotes, he paints a picture of an extravagant God who not only puts the desire for love into our very souls but fulfills those desires in striking, life-changing ways.

Gentle Boldness : Sharing The Peace Of Jesus In A Multi-Faith World
$16.99A global citizen. A commitment to sharing the peace of Jesus. A witness to the difference that Jesus makes.
The story David Shenk either begins in Shirati Village in Tanganyika, East Africa, or we might decide it begins among the orchards of Lancaster County, Pa., where farmers with their horses line up a mile for water as they rearrange their loads for their trek home on market day. In either reading, this is a story of mission–a story of people chattering along a roadside spring on the way to and from market.
At age six, Shenk asked his parents, What difference does Jesus make? The answer to that question is the reason he became a Christian. Day by day, as he travels in the way of Jesus–living, serving, and ministering around the world–Shenk continues to unpack what difference Jesus makes.
This is the story not just of Shenk and his remarkable work in Christian missions. It’s the stories that David has heard within societies, cultures, and religions when he asks the question: What difference does Jesus make?

Deep Peace : Finding Calm In A World Of Conflict And Anxiety
$18.99We live in a fearful, anxiety-driven age where the problems and challenges of the world, which come to us daily by news feed, far outstrip our abilities to respond. This sense of desperation leads to discord and violence: from bitter, cutting remarks to the atrocities of war; from pervasive racism to knee-jerk micro-aggressions. And it contributes to our current, peace-bankrupt social discourse, leading to patterns of dismissing, dividing from, condemning, or hating people. Conversation partners are no longer wrong or misinformed, they are evil: dehumanized and made objects of ridicule.
But what if the root of these problems is not found out there, in my dumb, evil friend, family member or colleague at work, but in here–in my mind, heart, thought-life, and emotions, in my own desire to win at all costs.
In Deep Peace, Todd Hunter analyzes the anxiety and desperation of our current moment and leads readers to receive the peace of Jesus and experience the deep wholeness that comes from the peace of God. He articulates a biblical framework for peace and provides practices to help Christians value and seek peace, becoming people of peace in ordinary life. Hunter reveals the heart issues from which these problems arise and introduces spiritual practices for becoming different sorts of people and different kinds of communities.

Legendary Woman : Partnering With God To Become The Heroine Of Your Own Sto
$18.99Every woman is a legend in the making.
Legendary women aren’t just those in the history books or leading in business or politics. They are everyday women-the single mom, the prayer leader, the stay-at-home wife-who choose to say yes to God. That one simple act can create a legendary legacy that lives on from generation to generation and forever changes the course of humankind as we know it.
In Legendary Woman, Bible teacher Michelle McClain-Walters gives flight to the legendary nature in each woman who dares to dream and risk everything to live out her divine purpose. Through the stories of women in Scripture and history, the book presents twelve characteristics of a legendary woman, and challenges you to identify your defining moments-when your destiny intersects with an epic need within your family, community, nation, or your world-and be willing to say yes to the legendary role God has uniquely fashioned for you. In addition, prayers and biblically based confessions, affirmations, and declarations throughout the book will fill you with the confidence you need to embrace who you are at every level.
This is the finest hour in human history to be a woman. The Lord Most High is activating an army of women who will lead, preach, pray, prophesy, and prosper under the active guidance of the Holy Spirit. Every woman has a place in this army. Every woman is a legend in the making. Whether you had a dark past or are the unlikeliest of heroes, you will come to embrace your path as a real-life legend in the making, the very expression of God in feminine form.
Using female world-changers of the Bible, this book will encourage you to forget your past, realize your potential, and say yes to the divine destiny God is revealing to you.

Abuelita Faith : What Women On The Margins Teach Us About Wisdom, Persisten
$49.98What if some of our greatest theologians wouldn’t be considered theologians at all?
Kat Armas, a second-generation Cuban-American, grew up on the outskirts of Little Havana, Miami’s famed Cuban neighborhood. Her earliest theological formation came from her grandmother, her abuelita, who fled Fidel Castro’s regime and raised three children alone after her husband passed away. Combining personal storytelling with biblical reflection, Armas shows us how voices on the margins–those often dismissed, isolated, and oppressed because of their gender, socioeconomic status, or lack of education–have more to tell us about Christian faith than we realize.
Abuelita Faith tells the story of unnamed and overlooked theologians in society and in the Bible–mothers, grandmothers, sisters, and daughters–whose survival, strength, resistance, and persistence teach us the true power of faith and love. The author’s exploration of abuelita theology will help people of all cultural and ethnic backgrounds reflect on the abuelitas in their own lives and ministries and on ways they can live out abuelita faith in their day-to-day lives.

Holier Than Thou
$17.99Why is it so hard to trust God sometimes?
We say we trust Him with our mouths, but often not with our lives. We live like God can’t be trusted. Like He doesn’t actually want what is best for us. Like He is just another person who, as Eve assumed in the Garden all those years ago, might hold out on us.
Bestselling author Jackie Hill Perry, in her much anticipated follow-up to Gay Girl, Good God, helps us find the reason we don’t trust God-we misunderstand His holiness.
In Holier Than Thou, Jackie walks us through Scripture, shaking the dust off of “holy” as we’ve come to know it and revealing it for what it really is. In these pages, we will see that God is not like us. He is different. He is holy. And that’s exactly what makes Him trustworthy. As it turns out, God being “holier than thou” is actually the best news in the world, and it’s the key to trusting Him.

Way Of The Dragon Or The Way Of The Lamb
$18.99Pastor Jamin Goggin and theology professor Kyle Strobel invite readers on a journey to uncover Jesus’ seemingly contradictory way to power: weakness.
Why do so many rock-star pastors implode under the spotlight? Why do modern-day churches become so entangled in growing their brand that they lose sight of their true purpose? Because, according to Jamin Goggin and Kyle Strobel, Christians have succumbed to the temptations of power and forgotten Jesus’ seemingly contradictory path to power-first giving it up.
In The Way of the Dragon or the Way of the Lamb, Goggin and Strobel paint a richly biblical vision of power through weakness. They invite readers to join them on an adventure around the world, seeking out great sages of the faith with uncommon wisdom to offer those traveling the path of Christian life. As readers eavesdrop on the authors’ conversations with people such as J. I. Packer, Dallas Willard, Marva Dawn, John Perkins, Jean Vanier, James Houston, and Eugene Peterson, they begin to piece together the new-old reality of following Jesus today. In the end, The Way of the Dragon or the Way of the Lamb offers a compelling vision of the way of Jesus that will challenge both individual believers and the church as a whole.

On The Spectrum
$19.99Nearly everyone knows someone on the autism spectrum, whether it’s a niece or nephew, a student in their classroom, a coworker, or a sibling, spouse, or child. One in 59 children is diagnosed with autism, according to the CDC, and autism is reported across racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic groups.

King Rules : Ten Truths For You, Your Family, And Our Nation To Prosper
$19.99In King Rules, the niece of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. shares that message in a deeply personal collection of hard-learned lessons, timeless truths, and foundational principles.
Dr. Alveda King’s words are lovingly crafted yet refreshingly blunt at a time when bluntness is needed to counter the forces of moral drift and empty relativism.
Beginning with a vulnerable admission of her own wounds and wanderings, Alveda unfolds eleven core values that have guided her family through generations of triumph and tragedy–and have played a pivotal role in fostering revolutionary change in society.
Out of a heart of compassion, she dispenses wise meditations on bedrock subjects including faith and family, peace and justice, education and civic life. With thoughtful conviction she also boldly tackles topics considered divisive in our postmodern world, from abortion and sexuality to gun control and marriage laws.
The King Rules is a page-turning narrative that blends eyewitness history with grandmotherly wisdom. And as J. C. Watts writes in the Foreword, the book is “more than Alveda’s story, it’s an account of the beliefs that redirected the course of a nation, that left us a legacy, and that hopefully will guide us again.”

Gathering Storm : Secularism, Culture, And The Church
$18.99The president of Southern Seminary reveals how secularism has infiltrated every aspect of society and how Christians, equipped with the gospel of Jesus Christ, can meet it head on with hope, confidence, and steadfast conviction.
A storm is coming. Western civilization and the Christian church stand at a moment of great danger. The storm is a battle of ideas that will determine the future of Western civilization and the soul of the Christian church. The forces we must fight are ideologies, policies, and worldviews that are deeply established among intellectual elites, the political class, and our schools. More menacingly, these ideas have also invaded the Christian church.
From threats to religious liberty and redefinitions of marriage and family to attacks on the sacredness and dignity of human life, the perils faced by the West and the church are unprecedented. How should Christians respond to this challenge? The Gathering Storm provides the answer, addressing each dimension of culture and showing Christians how to give an answer for the hope that is within them and how to contend for the faith that was once and for all delivered to the saints.

Shari Zook appeared to be an overachieving supermom who deftly supported her pastor-husband and their congregation, homeschooled their children, and cared for foster children through the ups and downs of placements. But inside, her world was growing increasingly desperate as she struggled with the grief of miscarriage, parenting a difficult child, and spiraling depression.
In her darkest hour, Zook let go of her need to appear super-human and reached out to receive God’s unfolding grace. With humor and artistry, Peanut Butter and Dragon Wings gives us permission to step out from behind the appearance of rose-filtered perfection and embrace the authenticity of honest need and human limitations. In the book’s twelve chapters you’ll find twelve practical ways to reach for a faith that includes doubt, and holiness that includes failure.

Wayfarer : Perspectives On Forced Migration And Transformational Community
$22.99A Hippobooks Title
Scripture testifies to God’s care for displaced peoples. From Genesis to Revelation, the Bible is a narrative filled with migrants, with refugees, and with wayfarers. Even God himself is shown to be “on the move” – a God who does not stay on one side of the border but crosses over to save his people.
In The Wayfarer, Dr. Barnabe Anzuruni Msabah engages the global refugee crisis from an interdisciplinary perspective that encompasses both development studies and theological reflection. Using specific examples from Central, Eastern, and Southern Africa, Msabah provides an overview of the sociopolitical, economic, and environmental dynamics of forced migration, while simultaneously exploring theological and cultural frameworks for understanding transformational community development. He examines both the church’s calling to provide sanctuary for displaced peoples and the role of refugees in contributing to the socioeconomic welfare of their host countries. While the church’s mandate is to act with justice and mercy towards the world’s most vulnerable populations, Msabah also reminds us that refugees are not passive recipients but powerful examples of courage, resilience, and hope who can, in their turn, transform our nations and our faith communities for the better.

You Are His
$11.95Through scripture, You Are His, by author Carol Bevil, offers a daily reminder of how God sees his people: wonderfully made, beautiful, worthy, and complete.
This twenty-one day, daily devotional encourages and inspires women to run from a worldly culture that turns God’s beauty to ashes into the arms of Jesus; to turn from the mirror, the scale, and social media to the truth; to turn from the lie of self-reliance to God’s word, the Holy Spirit’s power, and Jesus’ love. It communicates that women are anointed and known, purposed, and equipped. Women are God’s delight.
You Are His leads women back to their true source of strength: God. Each daily reading, through scripture, reflection, and teaching, reminds women to look up for their true identity. When women claim who they are because of whose they are, they experience the fruit of the spirit: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.

Fierce Jesus : Leaning Into The Only One Strong Enough To Set Us Free
$16.00Too many people settle for relating to Jesus merely as a comfortable friend and companion, when what we all need is an untamed Savior, a fearless champion tough enough to conquer our shame and compelling enough for us to follow him without hesitation.
I finally realized my caricature of Jesus wasn’t big enough to calm my anxiety or heal my wounds or defeat the wickedness in our world. Pretending Jesus is less than He is resulted in someone I wasn’t compelled to worship. So I began a journey to discover the whole Jesus–including the seemingly rough and wild parts–revealed in the Bible. And I found Him to be bigger and better than I ever dreamed.
–Lisa HarperThrough a powerful blend of storytelling and biblical insights, Lisa Harper invites you to engage with the Jesus of the gospels, a person so provocative that no one left an encounter with Him unchanged. Pharisees fumed, paralytics turned cartwheels, and pariahs found love and acceptance.
Come meet the Jesus who is both safe and strong–and learn how this radical Redeemer can liberate you to live and love with abandon.
Includes questions for group discussion or personal reflection.

Ninefold Path Of Jesus
$17.99What if we lived in a world of abundance?
The Beatitudes that Jesus taught name the illusions and false beliefs that have kept us chained and imprisoned. We’ve learned to live from a mentality of anxiety and greed, but what if we were to find abundance, solace and comfort are actually near? We’ve learned to live by striving, competition, and comparisons, but what if we all have equal dignity and worth? The Beatitudes point us toward what is real and true. We are not helpless. We have the power to seek justice and do good. Mercy triumphs over judgement. We can stop hiding and pretending, and be honest. The Beatitudes invite us to a new way of life, into a path of recovery. Instead of dividing the world into “us” and “them,” we can learn to embrace each other as family. Instead of resisting pain, we can learn to surrender and join the cosmic struggle between good and evil. Instead of living from fear, we can choose radical love. It’s often assumed that the good life is only for the most privileged, the rich and powerful, the most charmed and beautiful. The poor, the grieving, the meek and oppressed are left out. But the ninefold path that can be found in the Beatitudes is for everyone. Whatever your story, whatever your struggle, wherever you find yourself, this way is available to you.

Man I Was Destined To Be
$13.99Michael Tandoi’s string of bad decisions caught up with him at age twenty-seven. A crack-cocaine habit led him to become a danger to himself and society, and a judge made the decision he thought was best: Seven years in prison. It took the death of his father and three years for Tandoi to realize that his former life prevented him from becoming the man he was meant to be. In this memoir, he describes the roller coaster his life became before he landed in prison, which is where he wrote most of this book. In it, he shares an important message: Love yourself, love God, and embrace that you can achieve anything if you’re clean and sober. Walking the road to recovery enabled the author to change his life-and anyone battling addiction can trace his path to overcome their demons and become a better person.

Revelation Of Royalty
$18.99Where you go starts with your recognition of who you are in Christ.
This book will inspire you to know who you am in Christ. It will motivate you to reach higher levels of success and satisfaction in life, family, and business.
Our salvation in Christ ensures that every one of our needs or godly desires has been provided for by God. Yet many in the body of Christ are suffering and going without. Revelation is the key to developing the faith to receive the inheritance Jesus died to provide for us. One man said, “You are not suffering because there is a great devil, but because of your great ignorance.” Ignorance of our identity in Christ is one reason many Christians are not possessing their divine inheritance. As someone once said, “Your vast inheritance [in Christ] comes only in proportion to your new identity.”
Our identity will influence what we become, how rich or poor we will be, how high we will climb, even how long we will live. The more revelation a person has of his new identity in Christ, the more of God’s vast promises he will be able to receive and manifest in his life and circumstances. In Revelation of Royalty, you will discover:
*You cannot rise any higher than your confession and revelation of royalty
*You are a speaking spirit and have authority over the devil and all his worksAdd to cartin stock within 3-5 days of online purchase

How To Have An Enemy
$16.99Does Jesus’ call to love our enemies mean that we should remain silent in the face of injustice?
Jesus called us to love our enemies. But to befriend an enemy, we first have to acknowledge their existence, understand who they are, and recognize the ways they are acting in opposition to God’s good news. In How to Have an Enemy: Righteous Anger and the Work of Peace, Melissa Florer-Bixler looks closely at what the Bible says about enemies–who they are, what they do, and how Jesus and his followers responded to them. The result is a theology that allows us to name our enemies as a form of truth-telling about ourselves, our communities, and the histories in which our lives are embedded. Only then can we grapple with the power of the acts of destruction carried out by our enemies, and invite them to lay down their enmity, opening a path for healing, reconciliation, and unity.
Jesus named and confronted his enemies as an essential part to loving them. In this provocative book, Florer-Bixler calls us to do the same.

Whom Shall I Fear
$16.99Churches are not immune to violence, as we have seen from shootings at houses of worship across the nation. The challenge for faith communities is how to respond to potential violence.
Whom Shall I Fear? asks congregational leaders to examine whether their operational and security policies are consistent with gospel values. It raises common themes in approaches to church security and looks at them in the light of scripture.
Whom Shall I Fear? provides thought-provoking reflections on topics such as locked doors, living faithfully in an unfaithful world, the question of armed security in a church setting, and the duty of Christians to extend hospitality to their neighbor. It includes stories from survivors of gun violence and wisdom on how churches can work to transform an anxious and fear-driven world. Whom Shall I Fear? helps the church thoughtfully wrestle with what it means to be a church of grace, welcome, and love when confronted with acts of cruelty, division, and hate.

Cradling Abundance : One African Christian’s Story Of Empowering Women And
$26.99Growing up in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Monique Misenga Ngoie Mukuna persevered through many challenges: political turmoil and violence, misogyny and patriarchy, lack of community resources and personal loss.
As she carved out a life for herself, her family, and her community, she kept seeing the same story played out for women vulnerable and trapped in poverty. Every system was stacked against them. So “Maman” Monique committed to take action in every sphere she could: through education, the local and national church, and international cooperation. In 1999 she joined with other Christian women to start the nonprofit Femme, Berceau de l’Abondance–Woman, Cradle of Abundance. The very personal story of Maman Monique opens a unique window on the lives of women in Congo, across Africa, and throughout the Majority World. In Cradling Abundance she recounts her remarkable experiences as a gifted student and teacher, successful businesswoman, local and denominational church leader, visionary social activist, and matriarch for her extended family. With stories of other African women woven in, this narrative presents a panoramic view of Christian women at work at every level of the church and community. We see the resistance they face even within their own congregations and families, as well as how their faith leads them to oppose injustice, discrimination, and suffering. Professor Elsie McKee introduces the autobiography of her friend Maman Monique (translating it from conversations in French and Tshiluba), then provides helpful historical background and textual notes throughout, along with a study guide to additional cultural information. For anyone interested in how lay women lead in Christian ministries, what it takes to start a pioneering nonprofit, or how empowering women is critical to the health of communities, Cradling Abundance is a unique and gripping resource.

When Thoughts And Prayers Arent Enough
$25.99Taylor Schumann never thought she’d be a victim of gun violence.
But one spring day a man with a shotgun walked into her workplace and opened fire on her. While she survived, she was left with permanent wounds, both visible and invisible. In When Thoughts and Prayers Aren’t Enough, Taylor invites us to see what it means to be a survivor after the news vehicles drive away and the media moves on. Healing is slow and complicated. As she suffered through surgeries, grueling rehabilitation, and counseling to repair the physical injuries and emotional trauma, she came face to face with the deep and lasting impact of gun violence. As she began grappling with the realities, Taylor experienced another painful truth: Christians have largely been absent from this issue. Gun violence undercuts God’s vision of abundant life and community–and the silence of the church rings loudly in the ears of survivors and families of victims. Taylor weaves her own incredible story of survival and recovery into a larger conversation about gun violence in our country. With compassion and honesty, she encourages readers to reconsider their own engagement with the issue and to join her in envisioning a more hopeful, safer future for our nation. Move beyond thoughts and prayers and enter into grace-filled dialogue and action.

Lead Like Christ
$16.99As a Christian, does your leadership approach look any different from that of those who don’t follow Christ? In the Bible, God showed us what leadership looks in his kingdom, and at first a lot of it seems upside-down. The first shall be last. The master shall be the servant. But how can we apply these counterintuitive truths in our own world today? The first step, it turns out, is to become a good follower–a disciple of Christ who always lets him take the lead.
Rather than focusing on the nuts and bolts of management, Lead Like Christ looks closely at how leaders can better imitate the greatest leader of all. Looking to the example of Christ, regardless of the setting, is the only way to create the relationships, loyalty, and cohesion you need to lead well. This step of humility and obedience is not easy, but it will result in powerful, long-lasting change in both your own leadership role today as well as in God’s eternal kingdom.

Essential Andrew Murray Collection
$19.99Andrew Murray is a nineteenth-century writer whose words still inspire today.
In Humility, Murray calls all Christians to turn from pride, empty themselves, and study the character of Christ to be filled with his grace. It is often called the best work on the topic ever written.
Abiding in Christ invites you to listen to words from Scripture, read a daily meditation, pray, and surrender yourself anew to Christ. This thirty-one-day devotional is as timely now as it was in 1895, when it was first published.
Living a Prayerful Life outlines the way to overcome prayerlessness, which Murray believed was the greatest roadblock to spiritual growth. In his familiar devotional style, he then offers inspiring and practical guidelines for becoming a prayer warrior, including examples from the prayer lives of the apostle Paul, George Muller, and Hudson Taylor.
The wisdom in these pages will encourage and equip you to live a life of humility, surrender, and prayer, bringing you closer to the one who created you and longs to be with you.

Always God : He Hasn’t Changed And You Are Not Forgotten
$18.00A message of hope for an anxious day: God never changes. He is still here and ready to transform our lives. What we must ask is if we are ready to respond to him.
The influential teaching pastor of one of America’s largest megachurches calls out a common feeling: It’s easy to wonder if God has just… left. There is a rising sense of uncertainty and turmoil in the world. Our individual lives are often touched by disappointment, confusion, or regret. Sometimes, if we’re honest, we can even feel abandoned by God. Pastor Jarrett Stephens has been there, engaging personal doubt and frustration, and learning how to walk with others through their own anxieties into a better future.
Throughout Scripture, God reveals himself using various names to describe his nature and character. Each tells us something fascinating about his character. The eternal name God chose to use when revealing himself to Moses at the burning bush was I AM, indicating how, while others change, God does not. Centuries later, Jesus ascribed this title to himself, giving seven distinct I AM statements, which help us see how the I AM from the past is still the I AM today. This unfailing, good nature of the always God helps us find solid footing in a shifting world.
The Always God gives hope to those who think God has given up on us or is no longer responding. It invites us to quiet ourselves and listen to the God who does not change or forget us. Not ever. And that changes everything.

Glory Of God Revealed
$44.98The Glory of God Revealed
As you read The Glory of God Revealed, you will be amazed at the wonderful things Donna Rigney saw and learned on her many spiritual encounters with Father, Jesus and Holy Spirit. Her vivid, detailed accounts of a special golden mountain in Heaven, and all that glorious mountain holds for God’s children who hunger for His glory, will inspire you to become an avid glory seeker. Through her book, you will learn how you, too, can access the glory in your life.
What is the Glory of God?
Father explained: “You cannot separate My glory from Me or from who I am. My glory is My essence, My fragrance, My nature and My being. Just as your humanity cannot be separated from you – that is who you are – human; in the same way, My glory cannot be separated from Me. Wherever I am, that is where My glory is.”
“The days ahead will be marked by My glory. Being flooded with My glory will become commonplace and expected by all. A new addiction will overtake My children – an avarice addiction to My glory! In the days ahead, you will see many transformed from Saul, the persecutor of My people, to Paul, the apostle to the Gentiles. Many will leave their ignorance and embrace the wisdom, knowledge and glory of My kingdom.”

Land Is Not Empty
$18.99White settlers saw land for the taking. They failed to consider the perspective of the people already here.
In The Land Is Not Empty, author Sarah Augustine unpacks the harm of the Doctrine of Discovery–a set of laws rooted in the fifteenth century that gave Christian governments the moral and legal right to seize lands they “discovered” despite those lands already being populated by indigenous peoples. Legitimized by the church and justified by a misreading of Scripture, the Doctrine of Discovery says a land can be considered “empty” and therefore free for the taking if inhabited by “heathens, pagans, and infidels.”
In this prophetic book, Augustine, a Pueblo woman, reframes the colonization of North America as she investigates ways that the Doctrine of Discovery continues to devastate indigenous cultures, and even the planet itself, as it justifies exploitation of both natural resources and people. This is a powerful call to reckon with the root causes of a legacy that continues to have devastating effects on indigenous peoples around the globe and a call to recognize how all of our lives and our choices are interwoven.

Trust : God’s Unseen Power To Change The World
$16.00Many books have been written on the subject of faith, how to get it and apply it. What makes this book most unique is the fact that the illustrations and examples are both visual and practical, stemming from the author’s first-hand experience. This is not a “theological book”, thought the writing is well grounded in sound theology. This is an “application book” where the reader will be challenged in practical ways to access and apply the faith they have been given in new and deeper ways. The author’s contention is that man was put on this earth for two core reasons as expressed in the book of Genesis: to have intimate fellowship with God and to see God’s Kingdom extended on earth as it is in heaven. The author contends that living with and apply their God-given faith is a key to experiencing both of these callings in greater measure.

Your Time Is Now
$17.99God has a purpose for you right now.
You may think you’re not ready to make a difference in God’s Kingdom or that you’re too young for others to take seriously. But that’s not what God thinks.
At some point, you have to understand your own purpose and significance in the kingdom of God. How does God want to use you? This book uses the Old Testament leader Joshua as a model for stepping up to God’s big calling. Before Joshua, Moses was the one who had spoken to God, performed miracles, and challenged Pharaoh. But at some point, Joshua had to come out to the front. So what did he do? How did he step up? And what steps can you take to seize “now” for yourself?
Now is your time. If you will be steadfast and unmovable, and always abound in what God is calling you to do, you’ll see that it will not be in vain. He has a plan, a destiny for your life. Now means “not later.” Now means “don’t wait.” God wants to do great things.

$14.99Containing new material written just for this book and adaptations from his classic, What’s So Amazing About Grace, bestselling author Philip Yancey presents a one of a kind look at forgiveness: what it is . . . why it is so difficult . . why we have to choose this unnatural, scandalous act . . . and why we must approach God again and again, yielding to Him the residue of what we thought we had committed to him long ago. We do so because the Gospel makes clear the connection: God forgives our debts as we forgive our debtors. The reverse is also true: Only by living in the stream of God’s forgiveness will we find the strength to respond with forgiveness toward others. We may speak of forgiveness often, even believing that we are a forgiving person, but do we understand the true depth of it and what it demands of us? Does our life proclaim it as powerfully as our words? We should have no illusions about forgiveness, for it may be the most demanding act in human relationships, the hardest thing we ever do. But for anyone who lives and loves imperfectly–in other words, for all of us–forgiveness offers an alternative to an endless cycle of resentment and revenge. It alone can set us free. Christians can and must reveal the forgiveness the world is searching for. A cease fire between human being starts with forgiveness–the beginning and ending of grace.

Coming Race Wars (Expanded)
$18.99In the wake of the 1992 Los Angeles riots, Fuller Seminary theologian William Pannell decried the then-popular sentiment among white evangelicals that racism was no longer an urgent matter.
In The Coming Race Wars? he meticulously unpacked reasons why our nation–and the church–needed to come to terms with our complicity in America’s racial transgressions before we face a more dire reckoning. With his blunt assessment of our social condition, Pannell’s 1993 book sparked controversy. Critics dismissed him as alarmist. Back then, Pannell was among a scant number of Black evangelical leaders who called the evangelical church to account on issues of racial justice. Now, nearly thirty years later, his words are as timely as ever. Some would even argue that the “race war” has arrived. In The Coming Race Wars: A Cry for Justice, from Civil Rights to Black Lives Matter, Pannell revisits his provocative message with an expanded edition that connects its message to current events. With a new introduction by bestselling historian Jemar Tisby ( The Color of Compromise) and a new afterword by Pannell, this compelling, heartfelt plea to the church will help today’s readers take a deeper look at the complexities of institutional racism and the unjust systems that continue to confound us. Both pastoral and prophetic, Pannell doesn’t hold back in truth-telling nor in his expression of deep love for the church.
This new edition of The Coming Race Wars will inspire you to open your eyes wider, discover a more holistic view of Christ’s gospel, and become an active participant in addressing America’s racial injustices.Add to cartin stock within 3-5 days of online purchase

Love Them Anyway
$18.99Don’t fight the culture. Transform it.
When Pastor “Choco” De Jesus was twelve years old, his Chicago neighborhood erupted in gang violence for three terrible days. On the third day, the mayor called in the National Guard to restore order. When the smoke cleared, only burned-out cars, broken store windows, and hatred remained. Choco felt vulnerable and helpless, and soon he turned to the only source of security, life, and purpose–the love of Jesus.
Pastor Choco leads out of this deep well of experience. He knows what it’s like to wonder if you’ll live through the day, and he knows how it feels when someone cares enough to step in and provide care and hope. His church is known for showing compassion to people who are often overlooked–or worse, despised–in our culture: prostitutes, gangbangers, the homeless, and others who feel abandoned. And Pastor Choco’s bold love for people has opened doors and allowed him into the highest offices in the land, including at the White House.
Love is contagious. It breaks through defenses and destroys walls that divide us. Love is costly. It requires time, focus, and intention. Love is uncomfortable. It pushes you beyond your preconceived limitations and understanding. Love is hard. It’s not convenient, and it’s not always safe. But love is beautiful. Love is transformative. Love is the answer. So love them anyway.
The message of this book will tap into your deepest desires, expose your hesitations, connect you more deeply with God’s love, stimulate your creativity, and help you take bold steps to love the people around you–and your love will change lives.
Love Them Anyway is designed for individual study, small-group interactions, and church-wide applications that reach every corner of a church’s local community.
This book will help you confront your prejudices, remove fences, and get the gospel to the marginalized.

This Beautiful Truth
$16.99We live in a broken world. Amid the daily realities of sickness and isolation, disappointment and pain, it can be profoundly difficult to grasp the real goodness of God. But this is where God breaks into our darkness with beauty. In the wonder of creation, in art or film, story or song, in the kindness of his people and the good they create, God breaks into our pain in a tangible way, teaching us to trust his kindness and hope for his healing. Beauty is a voice singing into our suffering, beckoning us toward restoration.
In This Beautiful Truth, Sarah Clarkson shares her own encounters with beauty in the midst of her decade-long struggle with mental illness, depression, and doubt. In a voice both vulnerable and reflective, she paints a compelling picture of the God who reaches out to us in a real and powerful way through the “taste and see” goodness of what he has made and what he continues to create amid our darkness. “To recognize and trust God’s gift in pain,” she writes, “empowers us to create and love as powerful witnesses to God’s healing love in a hopeless world.”If you want to renew your capacity to recognize and encounter God’s beauty in your life, this hope-filled book will show you the way.

More Than Equals
$25.99“The first step in the reconciliation process,” Spencer Perkins writes, “is admitting that the race problem exists and that our inability to deal with race has weakened the credibility of our gospel.”
When longtime ministry partners and friends Spencer Perkins and Chris Rice began writing More Than Equals in the early 1990s, their goal was to offer an example of how racial reconciliation is possible–and also critical to Christian discipleship. This landmark book tells the stories of two men from very different backgrounds embarking on the complex, costly journey of healing across racial divides. Perkins, who witnessed repeated hypocrisy from white Christians and witnessed his bloodied pastor-activist father after a brutal police beating, wondered how it was possible to love white people. Rice, who grew up as a white missionary kid and thought of himself as progressive, was surprised by the tensions he encountered as a volunteer at a majority-black church–and by his own blind spots. As they served together in an intentionally multiracial ministry, both gained insight into why this work is so challenging and how Christians can do it well, in dependence on God. With biblical grounding, hopeful realism, and practical detail, More Than Equals provides a helpful framework for Christians engaged in the deep ongoing surgery of racial healing. Now available as part of the IVP Signature Collection, this edition includes a new preface by Rice and a study guide for group discussion.
