Connected Life : The Art And Science Of Relational Spirituality
$25.00Add to cartWe live in an increasingly isolated and lonely world. How do we find genuine relational connection? According to psychologist Todd Hall, real human growth doesn’t come through head knowledge alone but through relational knowledge and strong attachment bonds. This accessible introduction invites us into lasting relationships-with God and others-that lead to authentic transformation.
It’s no secret that we live in an increasingly isolated world. The pandemic has only exacerbated what was already a startling trend: loneliness and disconnection have been on the rise for a long time in our society. We long for a deep sense of meaning to make sense of our lives, but we don’t know how to find it. Even worse, we often search for it in unhealthy ways that hinder the very thing we’re desperate for: genuine relational connection.
Psychologist Todd Hall has been researching human relationships and ways of connecting for many years. In The Connected Life, he offers the fruit of that work, contending that real human growth doesn’t come through head knowledge alone but through relational knowledge and strong attachment bonds. It’s our relationships-with God and others-that lead to authentic transformation. Ultimately, the family of God provides the best context for lasting growth.
Here is a wise, accessible introduction to transformative relational connection, addressing the deeply felt disconnection in our society and inviting us into lasting relationships with God and others.

Last Sweet Mile
$16.99Add to cartWhen Allen Levi’s brother, Gary, was diagnosed with inoperable brain cancer, neither realized they were about to embark on the best year of their lives. More than mere brothers, Allen and Gary were best friends, life-long bachelors, one a lawyer turned singer-songwriter, the other a globe-trotting missions worker. Their relationship was one of rare and powerful beauty, and in this rich memoir, Levi captures the small yet telling details of a life lived to the fullest-right up to the finish line.
Like Sheldon Vanauken’s A Severe Mercy, Levi’s The Last Sweet Mile gives us a tale of both great loss and enduring faith, demonstrating that love is a refining fire, brotherhood a holy gift, and death itself a doorway to a wedding feast. The Last Sweet Mile is not only a testament to the life of Gary Levi, it is a testament to the hope that shaped and sustained him.

Church Of Us Vs Them
$20.00Add to cartWe are living in angry times. No matter where we go, what we watch, or how we communicate, our culture is rife with conflict. Unfortunately, Christians appear to be caught up in the same animosity as the culture at large. We are perceived as angry, judgmental, and defensive, fighting among ourselves in various media while the world looks on. How have we failed to be a people of reconciliation and renewal in the face of such tumult?
Claiming that the church has lost itself in the grip of an antagonistic culture, David Fitch takes a close look at what drives the vitriol in our congregations. He traces the enemy-making patterns in church history and diagnoses the divisiveness that marks the contemporary evangelical church. Fitch shows a way for the church to be true to itself, unwinding the antagonisms of our day and making space for Christ’s reconciling presence in our day-to-day lives. He offers new patterns and practices that move the church beyond making enemies to being the presence of Christ in the world, helping us free ourselves from a faith that feeds on division.

Tell Me The Stories Of Jesus
$21.60Add to cartIn Tell Me the Stories of Jesus, pastor and theologian R. Albert Mohler Jr. reveals the unique power of Jesus’ parables for today’s readers, showing how they announce the kingdom, communicate both judgment and grace, and call every human heart toward transformation in the light of God’s love.
He who has ears, let him hear… The Prodigal Son. The Good Samaritan. The parable of the mustard seed. The stories Jesus told during his earthly ministry are packed with such memorable images and characters that they now permeate our culture’s popular imagination. But what if their familiarity has muted their powerful message, causing today’s readers to miss their ability to shock and transform?
In Tell Me the Stories of Jesus, renowned pastor and theologian R. Albert Mohler Jr. unlocks the power of Jesus’ parables for readers today. Jesus perfected the art of telling parables–short stories with a surprising twist and an explosive message that confronted his listeners with surprising (and often uncomfortable) truths about the human heart and the kingdom of heaven. But two thousand years later, modern readers may not grasp the cultural and historical context that made these stories so compelling for Jesus’ original audience. Mohler brings Jesus’ stories to life, uncovering the context and allowing readers to hear these stories in all their shocking, paradigm-shifting power.
Readers will:
*feel a deeper connection with Jesus by stepping into the shoes of his first-century followers and hearing with fresh ears the stories he shared with his closest followers;
*gain a deeper understanding of the gospel through Jesus’ own words; and
*see the parables in a new light, experiencing–perhaps for the first time–their ability to draw people into Jesus’ kingdom.
Every parable Jesus told contains judgment and grace. They hold up a mirror that reveals the human heart–and invites everyone to welcome Jesus’ kingdom and reign. Will you have ears to hear their vital message?

Global Reset : Do Current Events Point To The Antichrist And His Worldwide
$18.99Add to cartGlobal Reset will open readers’ eyes and alert them to how world leaders are using the “Great Reset” agenda to seize pandemics, natural disasters and catastrophes, civil disorder, political unrest, and other current events to reshape every facet of life–all pointing toward the universal economy and godless global government of the Antichrist.
COVID unleashed a cascade of consequences that are now reaching far beyond the pandemic itself. Governments have begun leveraging the coronavirus and even the vaccine as a power grab, setting the stage for further intrusions in the future. These accelerants are driving the world to the precipice of fundamental, irreversible transformation. The winds of change are blowing. Tectonic shifts are underway at every level.
These realities are alarming by themselves. And yet, there remains a still deeper, more sinister agenda imbedded within. According to prophecies found in the Bible, a one-world government will indeed emerge in the end times. According to the book of Revelation, a future unified government will encompass the whole earth, and Satan himself will be behind it for the ultimate purpose of ruling over all the earth and being worshipped by its inhabitants. While we aren’t in the end times, we’re on the edge of the precipice. In Global Rest, readers will discover:
*The “Great Reset” agenda that sets the stage for the end time scenario prophesied in Scripture
*How China and other great nations are beginning to play a dominant role in international, socioeconomic, and political dynamics
*Possible scenarios regarding America in the end times and what believers can do to stem the tide of decline
*God’s great reset planned for planet earth and humanity–the millennial reign of Christ
*Every person’s needs for an eternal personal reset that can come only through Jesus Christ
Prepare yourself spiritually and arm yourself with information. Find answers to the questions everyone should be asking about current world events and how they may be ushering in Christ’s return.

Whats Big Starts Small
$29.99Add to cartOf the 30 parables Jesus told, the one that gets the most space on God’s sacred pages is the story about the sower, the seed, and the soil (Matthew 13). Just like a farmer isn’t sowing seed to get rid of it, God never brings you into contact with his Word just to get it over with. Rather, just as a farmer wants fruit, God wants to help you to experience and exhibit peace, joy, love, and more. And while he certainly could make our behavior one hundred times more sanctified in a single moment, Jesus’s story reminds us that God normally grows us organically, in that slow and steady process that we witness throughout the created world. And just as in farming, there are some obstacles to overcome along the way.
This book is structured around the six threats Jesus lists in the parable of the sower and the seed, and the corresponding strategies to overcome them: pride, pain, worries, wealth, wanting, and not waiting. If you’re wondering why your faith “isn’t working” in some aspects of your life, Jesus’ words may contain the key you’re looking for.

Satans Big Fat Lie
$19.99Add to cartHave you ever wondered what Satan’s biggest weapon against God’s people is?
This book is going to help me understand shame as the root spirit that the enemy has unleased to control, dominate, manipulate, and demoralize God’s people. No longer will I be bound to the enemy’s tactics as I begin to set my eyes on the things that Jesus cares most deeply about.
During one of his most intense spiritual battles, international evangelist Steve Foss received a series of prophetic dreams and visions that exposed the key weapon the enemy is using against God’s people–shame.
Believers are ashamed of past mistakes. Churches are being shamed for standing for the gospel. Brother is turning against brother as the culture shames those who don’t walk in lockstep with their agenda. Cancel culture itself is a way of shaming people into submission to the status quo. Shame is transforming our culture into a godless, sin-celebrating society.
Shame was the final attack upon Jesus when He was on the cross, and it was designed to keep Him from fulfilling His destiny. But God has given His people a more powerful weapon to overcome the enemy’s attacks. We just have to learn how to use it.
In Satan’s Big Fat Lie, Foss exposes Satan’s great end-time strategy and how Christians can war against it. Shame is that great demon power the enemy has unleashed to control, dominate, manipulate, and demoralize God’s people. But discovering what Jesus is focused on will empower us to overcome and walk in perfect peace in the midst of the chaos of this world.

Out Of Chaos
$18.99Add to cartLife is a hot mess. There’s the bedlam of getting out the door in the morning. The constant breaking down of our homes and bodies and the cars we drive. And the institutions that promise to help are often no better. We are surrounded by the constant disorder of governments and disappointed by organized religion, the very entities that tell us they can provide us sanity and security. Instead, they leave us scratching our heads or licking our wounds. Chaos surrounds us, and at times, it seems to rule our souls, our families, and our world.
But does chaos always end in failure or flaw?
What if chaos was more than the check engine light of lost causes? What if chaos was the raw material out of which God creates? In the beginning God brought order from chaos, filling the chaos with a beautiful creation, and he’s been doing it ever since. Where you and I may experience confusion and disorder, God sees an opportunity for something new–for a rebirth, a renewal, and a renovation. God did this in the beginning, he did it again at the cross, and with renewed vision for our disordered world today, we look to God to do it again.
Inspired by the powerful picture of creation in Genesis 1:2, author Jessica LaGrone challenges the hope-destroying belief that God has abandoned us in our broken relationships, our pain, and our grief. In the midst of our out-of-control lives, God is there, and he specializes in making new things from the chaos threatens to drown us. When we experience chaos in our own lives and everything feels like it is falling apart, God is just getting started. When the Spirit of God hovers, chaos can give birth to hope.

Sacred Smallness : Finding Kingdom Greatness In A Fruitful, Hidden Life
$21.99Add to cart‘I asked God for a mic, and He gave me a broom!’
Have you noticed Jesus’ kingdom is upside down? To be first, you must be last. To find your life, you must lose it. To receive, you must give. And to lead, you must follow.

*The best place to be faithful is wherever God has put you
*God’s measuring stick is all that counts, so don’t compare yourself to others
*God says you’re precious, so refuse all pressure to be perfect
*The key to finding quiet, dynamic strength in mustard-seed faith
*How to identify and remove idols that block you from God’s highest and bestTrue excitement and success await in your God-destined place, and it all begins with a heart toward God.

Discover how our gifts are a blessing to others and pave the way for reconnecting with our surrounding communities.

Jesus Takes A Side
$29.99Add to cartJesus sides with the oppressed. Will you?
In a world divided by left and right, red and blue, many Christians have upheld a “third way” approach in pursuit of moderation, harmony, and unity. But if Christians are more concerned with divisiveness than with faithfulness, we have failed to grasp the gospel’s political demands. We do not see Jesus taking a “third way” between oppressor and oppressed. And as followers of Jesus, neither should we.
For the sake of our faith, for the sake of the least of these among us, and for Christ’s sake, Christians need to stand firmly for truth, peace, and justice. In Jesus Takes a Side, author Jonny Rashid lays out the political demands of following Jesus and offers strategies for how to engage politics practically and prophetically–even if it means taking a side.

Why Marriage Counseling Fails
$16.99Add to cartLike life itself, marriage has moments of joy…and sorrow. As difficult as marriage can be, many who have said “I do” try to stick it out when problems arise because the alternative–being alone–is not very appealing. If the couple truly wants to save their marriage, they usually turn to counseling.
Unfortunately, most marriage counseling ends with the couple dropping out and then, more often than not, ending their relationship. In some cases, the problem is not the couple but their choice of counselor. One who is poorly trained, disinterested, or obviously biased can destroy a marriage.
Why Marriage Counseling Fails explores different scenarios that cause problems for couples as well as the different types of counselors who can help or harm a marriage. Dr. David B. Hawkins has more than forty-five years of experience as a marriage counselor and has helped thousands of couples save their marriages.
“Sadly, when it comes to reaching out for help for marriage counseling, few have a sense of trust and confidence in their counselor,” he says. “Stories abound about how they came out of a counseling session worse than when they went in.”
Dr. Hawkins defines the “five I’s” of a qualified marriage counselor as one who:
*Offers wise instruction
*Takes an active interest in the couple
*Offers insight into why problems recur
*Is willing to work intensively
*Works in-depth to help the couple find long-term solutionsWhy Marriage Counseling Fails offers insights into marital issues, the brokenness of the counseling system, how to find good help, and how to insist upon effective help when turning to a counselor.

Rediscovering You : Solving Your Personality Puzzle To Enhance Your Life
$15.99Add to cart“Who are you?” the Caterpillar asked Alice in Wonderland.
It’s a question that many of us might ask ourselves. What makes us grumpy one day and cheerful the next? Why would some of us prefer to receive little love notes from our spouse rather than a back rub? What makes some people behave like Energizer bunnies until they collapse? In short, what makes us tick?
Author Craig Walker sets out to put the puzzle pieces together in Rediscovering You. He merges personality tests, the Enneagram, the Five Love Languages, and the Word of God into one mosaic to provide you with a detailed and accurate self-portrait so that you can see yourself as you truly are, with all of your strengths, weaknesses, and complexities.
“Decades of conducting counseling sessions taught me that self-awareness is the single greatest leap forward to personal happiness and better relationships,” Craig says. “The Word of God, personality, Enneagram, and love languages honestly answer the question, ‘Who are you?’ Knowing that answer will change everything. It will create a ripple effect across all of your relationships.”
Rediscovering You uses Scripture to address three areas:
*Personality, the way we operate day to day
*The Enneagram, what motivates us to do what we do
*Love Languages, how we give and receive love“This book will speak to those who truly want to learn how to love others as they love themselves, but first, they must learn to love themselves as God sees them,” Craig says. “Taking a deep look into your personality, the personalities of specific men and women throughout Scripture, learning how you are truly meant to be loved, and being honest with yourself will together build a beautiful and unique tapestry of your identity in Christ.”

Not In It To Win It
$22.99Add to cartPeople often use religion to justify their personal views–but Christianity isn’t a weapon we wield to win arguments. Sadly, many Christians today have confused what Jesus came to do and accomplish with political agendas and the latest round of the culture wars. But the message of Jesus transcends cultural skirmishes and political affiliations. It calls us to follow another king and to live by the ethics of another kingdom. Jesus never asked his followers to agree on everything, but he did command them to love their neighbors and exercise their faith for the benefit of others–not at the expense of others.
Not In It To Win It is a relatable and practical resource that guides readers by focusing on the priorities of Jesus, even as we are navigating the complicated and emotionally-charged terrain of today’s cultural divides and hot-button disagreements. Rather than viewing Christianity through the filter of partisanship, Andy challenges readers to evaluate all of life through the wide-angle lens of faith.
Jesus called his followers to obey a new command, to love others in the same way he has loved us. Instead of asserting our rights or fighting for power, we are to ask ourselves: what does love require of me? Don’t settle for winning a game that God isn’t playing. Instead seek to live in a way that your life makes a difference for others, showcasing the love of God to the world.

Double Anointing : Lessons To Be Learned From Elisha
$18.99Add to cartFROM THE BEST-SELLING AUTHOR OF TOTAL FORGIVENESS
God uses people as they are and will let history determine one’s legacy.
This book will guide me through the challenges and blessings of receiving God’s anointing so that I can use greater wisdom and discernment of how to properly use a double portion of anointing.
Next to Moses, Elijah was the greatest prophet of the Old Testament. But he was so human–so much so that James said he was “just like us” (Jas. 5:17). One day he challenged the prophets of Baal on Mount Carmel and fire fell from heaven. The next day he was running from Jezebel, scared to death. Toward the end of his ministry Elijah selected an unknown person–Elisha–with no obvious qualifications to succeed him.
Elijah was Elisha’s mentor, but they were different. Elijah was colorful; Elisha was by comparison colorless. But God’s hand was equally on Elisha as with Elijah. In a short period of time Elisha put a bold request to Elijah, asking for a double portion of his spirit. It was granted. But how was this manifested? That is what this book is about.
The anointing can be manifested in more than one way; we must all discover our anointing and live within it (Rom. 12:3). Elisha’s double anointing was partly in quantity rather than quality. Elijah performed something like seven miracles; some of Elisha’s miracles overlap with Elijah’s. But the total of Elisha’s miracles comes to at least fourteen, including raising the dead, as Elijah did.
These things said, the two men were different in personality. Elijah ended brilliantly. Elisha ended not only as a lackluster successor to Elijah but in personal disappointment. This is a reminder that not all saintly Christians end their pilgrimage with sensational testimonies.

Reading Black Books
$29.99Add to cartLearning from Black voices means listening to more than snippets. It means attending to Black stories. Reading Black Books helps Christians hear and learn from enduring Black voices and stories as captured in classic African American literature.
Pastor and teacher Claude Atcho offers a theological approach to 10 seminal texts of 20th-century African American literature.

This Book Wont Make You Happy
$27.99Add to cartWhen people find out she is a therapist, Niro Feliciano knows she isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. At soccer games, at cocktail parties, in waiting rooms, people corner her and ask: Why am I so stressed? Is the way I feel normal? Why can’t I just be happy?
The truth is happiness is fleeting, and we are stressing ourselves out trying to achieve it. In This Book Won’t Make You Happy, national media commentator and Psychology Today columnist Feliciano offers a path to something much more achievable and abundantly more satisfying: contentment.
By incorporating eight simple postures rooted in cognitive behavioral science and mindfulness practices into our daily routines, we can move away from anxiety and toward balance and calm. Acceptance, gratitude, connection, a present-focused perspective, intentionality and priority, self-compassion, resilience, and faith: through these practices we will overcome obstacles that hold us back from living full, meaningful, contented lives.
Anxiety, stress, and grief aren’t going away anytime soon, and this book won’t make you happy. But with wit and empathy, Feliciano leads you right past happy to calm. No matter how “happy” your life is–or isn’t–you can reach a deeper, truer, and longer-lasting place of contentment.

Listening to the voice of God leads to a life of joy, contentment, and trust in God in all circumstances. God is always with us.

Words : Guard The Door Of My Lips
$14.99Add to cartOlusola Olufemi uses scriptures to discuss the power and importance of words in everyday life, including our spiritual walk with God, relationships, and self-awareness. The book guides the reader through the many facets of words in the context of guarding the mouth, keeping words far from sin, and equipping our words to be a blessing through wisdom gained from God’s word. “Rejoice in God’s word or promise like one who finds great spoil” (Psalm 119:162). Win your battles with God’s word.
The theme of Words: Guard the Door of My Lips is poignant because the lips are the outer extremity or a doorway to the tongue, and the power of life rests in the tongue. There is wisdom in guarding your lips to ensure you speak life, encouragement, and blessing to others.
Psalm 55:21 reads, “His talk is smooth as butter, yet war is in his heart; his words are more soothing than oil, yet they are drawn swords.” Examine the words that flow from your thoughts, from your heart-are they smooth as butter, soothing as oil? Or like daggers drawn and ready for war and turmoil? Spoken words are like eggs. When dropped, they are difficult to scoop back. Words are a Wellspring Of Restoration and Divine Sanctification (WORDS). Use your words wisely. Let your words divinely sanctify others.

Sarah Anointing : Become A Woman Of Belief, Vision, And Hope
$15.99Add to cartFROM BEST-SELLING AUTHOR MICHELLE MCCLAIN-WALTERS
When your faith fails, God prevails.
This book will teach you how to live out your nature as an active participant in God’s vision.
Sarah was a loyal wife who followed her husband, Abraham, when God spoke to him. Even when Abraham made mistakes, she still called him “lord.” She is an example of a woman with a submitted spirit who responded biblically to her husband without losing her identity.
Sarah was an active participant in God’s vision–perhaps too active, as she ran ahead of God and tried to fulfill His covenant in her own timing. She also laughed at the possibility of a miracle.
But when God changed Sarah’s name, He changed her nature. The name change linked her to Abraham in co-rulership, including her in God’s covenant promise, which was fulfilled by the couple’s working together. Sarah’s example shows us that God has included women in His purposes and plans throughout history and will include them in the next great awakening. Her life is a positive lesson in faith that breaks personal limitations.

Recovering Racists : Dismantling White Supremacy And Reclaiming Our Humanit
$18.99Add to cartAs a white Afrikaner woman growing up in South Africa during apartheid, Idelette McVicker was steeped in a community and a church that reinforced white supremacy and shielded her from seeing her neighbors’ oppression. But a series of circumstances led her to begin questioning everything she thought was true about her identity, her country, and her faith.
Recovering Racists shares McVicker’s journey over 30 years and across three continents to shatter the lies of white supremacy embedded deep within her soul. She helps us realize that grappling with the legacy of white supremacy and recovering from racism is lifelong work that requires both inner transformation and societal change. It is for those of us who have hit rock bottom in the human story of race, says McVicker. We must acknowledge our internalized racism, repent of our complicity, and learn new ways of being human.
This book invites us on the long, slow journey of healing the past, making things right, changing old stories, and becoming human together. As we work for the liberation of everyone, we also find liberation for ourselves. Each chapter ends with discussion questions.

Malestrom : How Jesus Dismantles Patriarchy And Redefines Manhood
$19.99Add to cartThis is a message that the church desperately needs to hear and take to heart.–Kristin Kobes Du Mez, author of Jesus and John Wayne.
Like the danger of a maelstrom in the open seas, a relentless force threatens our culture. This maelstrom swirls with currents that produce confused and distorted images of manhood perpetuated by our society and even by the church.

Buried in the stories of marginalized men in the Bible is a revolutionary new vision of manhood that is good news for men. Written for men and women, and ideal for both personal or group study, Malestrom offers a redemptive, hope-filled, gospel-centered perspective on what it means to be a man.

Special Grace : Prayers And Reflections For Families With Special Needs
$16.00Add to cartThe world of special needs is filled with statistics: in the United States, about 17 percent of children have a diagnosed developmental disability, and 14 percent of public school students receive special education services.
But behind these statistics are stories–stories of children struggling to fit into a world that wasn’t designed for them, and stories of parents giving everything they have to advocate for their children. Most of these parents didn’t choose this path; they were thrust upon it unknowing, unprepared, and often overwhelmed. They may struggle to talk about their experiences in relatable ways with family, friends, and even God. Special Grace is a collection of 127 prayers for all aspects of life for families with special needs. Here are prayers for family life, school, and church; prayers for an initial diagnosis, for the first day of school, and for celebrating a milestone. Each section is set off by a reflective essay from Evans’s own family life. Filled with humor and wisdom, these prayers and reflections will help families process their experiences together and offer them to God with hope and simple trust. In moments when the cries of your heart leave you speechless, Special Grace provides words you can bring before your Father in heaven.

Calling In Context
$24.00Add to cartI don’t care for vocational books written in the United States; they’re too American.
When Susan Maros heard this comment from a Malaysian colleague, she was initially taken aback. Isn’t the concept of calling universal? Why wouldn’t resources with a biblical perspective on vocation apply to everyone? The reality is that each of us encounters our questions of calling from within a particular context. In this path-breaking book, Maros explores how various dimensions of social location–including race, ethnicity, culture, socioeconomic status, and gender–shape our assumptions and experiences with vocation. Maros helps Christians in the United States in particular see how ideas about calling that emphasize certainty, career paths, and personal achievement arise from cultural priorities that shouldn’t go unexamined, such as individualism, productivity, and meritocracy. She explains how unexamined mental maps can distort our perspective and refocuses our attention on biblical insights about calling as a lifelong journey. In the process, she helps us find both clarity and encouragement to explore the paths before us. God calls all people, yes–but calling is not a monolithic concept. Filled with numerous stories from Christians in diverse communities, Calling in Context invites anyone exploring questions of calling to find fresh possibilities in their own identity and engagement with God’s mission. Reflection questions and Bible study prompts are included throughout.

My Yes Is On The Table
$14.99Add to cartIsn’t it time you said yes to God?
What’s holding you back? The risk? The unknown? The unwillingness to shake up the comfortable status quo? Whatever it is, if you’re not in God’s best place, you’re missing out on something great. The Lord is calling you into a Promised Land. But it’s going to take some faith steps to get there.
Jenn Hand wants you to be able to say to God, “My yes is on the table.” Not halfheartedly. Not half the time. Not halfway there. Jenn wants you to go all in with God–because God is all in for you.
My Yes Is on the Table takes you into the story of the Israelites as they journeyed out of the wilderness and into the Holy Land that God had granted them. Each chapter will challenge you to move from a fear stop to a faith step. And once you’ve started taking those steps with God, there’s no telling where you’ll end up.
For too long, you’ve been paralyzed by fear of the future. You feel God calling. You want to go forward with His plans. Yet fear has stopped you from taking the leap. No more! Instead of letting fear stop you short, let faith call you forward with newfound confidence and holy boldness. Put your “yes” on the table, and watch God do more in your life than you could have ever imagined.

Straight White Male
$20.00Add to cartStraight, white, male pastor Chris Furr offers a guide to deconstructing that privilege in Straight White Male. With an emphasis on confession and redemption, Furr invites other privileged men to reconsider the ways they live, work, believe, and interact with others. Alongside Furr’s perspective, essays from contributing writers who lack various types of privilege-straight, Black man William J. Barber II, straight, white woman Melissa Florer-Bixler, queer, nonbinary latinx Robyn Henderson-Espinoza, and gay, white man Matthias Roberts-offer insights on how particular types and combinations of privilege (and the lack thereof) shape the way we move through the world. Their combined voices offer much-needed perspective through this deconstruction and provide a vision for how straight, white men can do better for ourselves, our families, and society.
As the cultural conversation around race, gender, and sexuality has evolved, straight, white men are becoming increasingly aware of their privilege. But many may be left thinking, “OK, what am I supposed to do about it?” “We need a way forward beyond feelings of guilt, overwhelmingness, anger, and denial.” “We are looking for transformative guidance that helps us be the good guys we want to be.”

Habits Of The Mind
$24.00Add to cartA Christianity Today Book Award Winner What does it mean to love God with your mind? Can the intellectual life be a legitimate Christian calling?
In this deeply personal book, James Sire brings wit and wisdom to bear on these questions. He draws from his own experience and the life of John Henry Newman to explore how to think well for the glory of God and the sake of his kingdom. Habits of the Mind challenges you to avoid one of the greatest pitfalls of intellectual life: the temptation to separate being from knowing. Sire shows how to cultivate intellectual virtues and disciplines–habits of the mind–that will strengthen you in pursuit of your calling. Thinking well is integral to acting righteously. Sire offers assurance that intellectual life can be a true calling for Christians: because Jesus was the smartest man who ever lived, you can and should accept the challenge to think with more accuracy, wisdom, humility, and passion. This classic work is now available as part of the IVP Signature Collection, which features special editions of iconic books in celebration of the seventy-fifth anniversary of InterVarsity Press.

Participating In Abundant Life
$24.00Add to cartOur world is hungry for salvation, but we don’t always know how to talk about it.
Christians agree that God cares about people’s lives both in this world and into eternity. But the ways we describe salvation often separate the spiritual from the material. Many groups emphasize one at the expense of the other, limiting the picture of what God has to offer. Mark Teasdale works to bridge the gaps by taking up Jesus’ language of abundant life. This life is something Jesus invites us to participate in–to seek both for ourselves and for others. It’s rich and multidimensional, not splitting spirits and minds from bodies and material needs. By connecting biblical perspectives of holistic salvation to contemporary concepts of well-being, Teasdale also shows how Christians can both better communicate in secular settings as well as partner with all people regardless of their faith to seek the common good. Incorporating concepts of material standard of living and subjective quality of life, Teasdale argues, gives Christians common language to share the promise of abundant life with those who hold to secular commitments. Yet we must also boldly present Jesus’ invitation to eternal life and discipleship. For churches, ministry leaders, and laypeople Teasdale offers ideas to improve and measure methods of promoting all dimensions of salvation for the good of others.

Never Give Up
$18.99Add to cartWhat if the answers to our modern crises are found in ancient truths?
This book will give you the hope and courage you need to stay firm in your faith despite the circumstances going on around you. You will keep your devotion to God and boldly share your faith.
The truth of the gospel is in great danger. Biblical beliefs are being attacked. Biblical morality is being assaulted. Christians are being insulted for holding to the ancient truths found in the Scriptures. We are in a fight to be heard and not canceled–to share our faith amidst the cancel culture. What is God’s message to us this day? What does He want from us in these troubled times? Resilience. Courage. Faithfulness. His call to us is to never give up.
*Never give up…on the infallible Word of God.
*Never give up…on the faith once delivered.In his last letter, the aged and imprisoned apostle Paul realized that his final days were approaching. So, he wrote his last legacy message for his beloved Timothy and for future generations of disciples–namely you and me.
In Never Give Up, Dr. Michael Youssef echoes the words of the apostle Paul so that we may experience encouragement–and know triumph in the midst of defeat. With a sense of urgency, we are called to the steadfast service of a certain conviction. Despite hardship and suffering, we can learn to be unwavering in our devotion. As followers of Jesus, too often we are tempted to throw in the towel, give up the fight, and give in to fear. But we must not let that be our reality. We have not been abandoned. God is here. Yet conviction is needed and service is required. No matter what comes our way, we must never give up.

God Vs Government
$17.99Add to cart“Welcome to our peaceful protest.”
In the spring of 2020, churches across North America were forced to close their doors in an effort to protect citizens during the COVID-19 pandemic. In this time of mounting fear and hostility, Christians were forced to grapple with how God wanted them to respond to these well-intentioned yet harmful mandates. After all, didn’t the closure of churches pose a serious threat when people were in need of spiritual direction more than ever?
God vs. Government tells the story of two churches’ bold decisions to reopen even though official mandates asked them to remain closed. Convicted by the call in Hebrews 10:25 for churches to assemble together, pastors John MacArthur and James Coates led their congregations to return to in-person meetings-and in the process, found hostile governing authorities taking action against them.
How can we as Christians know how best to respond when the state encroaches upon the church? God vs. Government looks to the Bible for answers about remaining faithful to our heavenly Father’s commands even when society tells us to do otherwise. You’ll be encouraged by this call to live with discernment and hope, trusting God to do what only He can do no matter what the circumstances.
