O Sinners : A Novel
$28.00In this searing novel that sweeps from present-day California to the Vietnam War and back, a grieving young man is drawn into the orbit of a charismatic cult leader who forces him to reconsider why people give up control-and what it takes, ultimately, to find one’s place in the world.
Faruq Zaidi, a young journalist processing the recent death of his father, a devout Muslim, takes the opportunity to embed himself in a cult known only as “the nameless,” because its members refused to label themselves. Based in the California redwoods and shepherded by an enigmatic Vietnam War veteran named Odo, “the nameless” adhere to the 18 Utterances, including teachings such as “all suffering is distortion” and “see only beauty.” Faruq, skeptical but committed to unraveling the mystery of “the nameless,” extends his stay over months, as he gets deeper into the cult’s inner workings and alluring teachings. But as he gets closer to Odo, Faruq himself begins to unravel, forced to come to terms with the memories he has been running from while trying to resist Odo’s spell.
Told in three seamlessly interwoven threads?Faruq’s present-day investigation, Odo’s time as an infantryman during the Vietnam War alongside three other Black soldiers before the formation of the movement, and a documentary script that recounts the clash between “the nameless” and a Texas fundamentalist church?O Sinners! examines both longing and belonging. Ultimately the novel asks: What is it that we seek from the people we admire and, inevitably, from one another?

Miss Prim Goes Wild
$13.99A whimsical picture book that follows strict Miss Prim as she learns how nature’s wild ways can heal both her yard and her heart–and teaches children how to watch the wild grow in their backyards.
Miss Prim had been called all kinds of things–precise, punctual, and practical. Sometimes even stern, strict, and scary. But never welcoming or whimsical, and certainly not wild. Miss Prim believed in no-nonsense.
But that’s all about to change when her prim and proper yard decides to go wild while she’s away. Aghast at the grass, fuming at the flowers, and batting at birds, her strained efforts wain as the wild wonders work their way into her hard heart, revealing nature’s power to heal and restore.
With alliterations that roll off the tongue, whimsical illustrations, and timeless messages, Miss Prim Goes Wild is perfect for under a shady tree. Miss Prim’s change flows into her journal in the back of the book, where she studiously takes notes about the wild ways of nature that she’s come to love, and teaches children how to watch the wild grow in their own back yards.

Jazz Of Preaching 20th Anniversary Edition (Anniversary)
$22.99Learn to preach from your soul!
What if preachers were as contagiously joyful in their preaching as Louis Armstrong was in his playing and singing? As rich in their sermonic renderings as Sarah Vaughn was in her virtuosic vocals? As honest about heartache as Billie Holiday every time she sang the blues? As alluringly clear as the voice of Ella Fitzgerald? As tenaciously uninhibited in the action of creating as Duke Ellington?
This may be too much ask, even of persons who are “called by God.” However, as Kirk Byron Jones demonstrates, preaching can be enhanced by an understanding of the inner dynamics of jazz. The forms, rules, and styles of jazz can inform one’s practice of preaching, and its simultaneous structure and spontaneity can help preachers better understand their own art.
In his classic text for students and practitioners, Jones explains how preaching is dramatically improved with the application of key elements of jazz, including innovation, improvisation, rhythm, call and response, honesty about heartache, and delight. This 20th Anniversary Edition includes a new element?preaching from your genuine soul. Chapters include instruction and exercises for applying the jazz elements to preaching preparation and performance. This edition also includes an Introduction, in which the author sets the context for the new material and articulates his conviction that this approach to preaching is needed now more than ever.
The Jazz of Preaching introduces the rich and rewarding possibilities that arise when preachers tap into their own creativity?and their own soul–when constructing and delivering the sermon.

Pharisees Wife : A Novel
$18.99From the beloved author of Love Comes Softly comes an inspiring work of historical fiction about a young Jewish woman, plucked from obscurity and thrust on a perilous journey, only to witness the world’s most life-changing story.
Like most young women in ancient Israel, Mary has little control over her own destiny. When Enos, a rising Pharisee, sees her one day in the market–the most beautiful woman he has ever laid eyes on–and determines to make her his wife, Mary’s fate is quickly sealed. His exorbitant bride price is the only hope her parents have of escaping abject poverty, but surely the fact that such a devout and esteemed man has chosen a girl of her station must be a sign of blessing.
When Mary enters training to become the proper Pharisee’s wife, it is as though she has been abandoned in a foreign land, where one misstep could cost her greatly. That feeling only deepens when she discovers Enos is all she feared he might be, treating her merely as a prize he has won–and worse. Then rumors of a miracle-working, traveling Prophet change everything, and Mary and Enos are swept up in events that will challenge all they hold dear and forever alter both their futures.
*Full-length standalone biblical fiction from the bestselling author whose novels have sold more than 30 million copies
*For fans of historical fiction by Tessa Afshar, Mesu Andrews, and Connilyn Cossette

When Work Hurts

Finding Our Way Home
$19.99In an age when Christianity has been corrupted and co-opted by cultural forces and personal agendas, pastor and theologian Glenn Packiam shows how an ancient Creed can save the modern church–and might just save your faith.
The Church today has lost its way. We’ve pursued the wrong priorities, put our hope in personalities, and elevated popularity over spiritual maturity. And it’s not just the Church that’s lost; we are too. As culture wars rage and competing voices argue, many Christians are left asking a basic question, What’s a Christian, anyway?
But there’s hope. The church has been here before, and our spiritual ancestors crafted a powerful resource to help us find our way: the Nicene Creed. Readers who take this journey with Packiam will:
*discover how the Creed–born in an ancient time of controversy, confusion, and disunity much like today–is not just a statement of beliefs, but a rope to lead us home;
*experience an invitation into the mystery and wonder of God through these ancient words; and
*rediscover a path to becoming faithful witnesses to the way of Jesus as we learn to live into the Creed’s beautiful story, stunning hope, and powerful vision of what a Christian is.
The world yearns for Christ’s joy, peace, and hope, but the gospel is only believable if Christians live like it’s true. Join this adventure into the heart of authentic Christianity, and rediscover for yourself the fresh, timeless power of our Creed, returning to the living heart of what it means to be a Christian.

Ambush
$18.99The first book in the riveting Sanctuary Series from USA TODAY bestselling author Colleen Coble, where a young woman will do anything to uncover the truth of her parents’ murder–even work alongside the man who once broke her heart. Perfect for fans of Allison Brennan and Dani Pettrey.
Paradise Alden’s childhood in Nova Cambridge, Alabama, was idyllic until the night her parents were murdered. Since then, life has left her scarred. The abuse she suffered in the foster care system, her first love’s betrayal, and the jaguar attack that nearly destroyed her career have led to an unshakable distrust–in men, in God, and maybe in even in herself.
After fifteen years, returning to her hometown is a last resort to finding her life again. She’s hoping the wildlife refuge where she’s accepted a veterinarian job will be the perfect place to heal from her recent traumas and unlock her memories about the night her parents died. But the day she arrives at The Sanctuary, a body is discovered on the grounds. And soon, a series of deadly events threatens not only her future, but the man who, despite all odds, still makes her pulse stutter. Arson, a shooting, a break-in, and multiple instances of animals being freed from their enclosures all point back to him, but Paradise knows Blake Lawson isn’t responsible. Not the man who has been helping his mother manage The Sanctuary these past six months and care for his stepbrothers in the wake of their father’s death . . . even if his betrayal years ago cost her everything.
Someone dangerous is lurking beneath the town’s moss-draped trees, and Paradise refuses to let another murderer disappear into the shadows.

When Emperor Nero begins constructing his opulent Golden House, the people of Rome grow resentful, suspecting him of setting the fire in order to clear the land for his immense palace. Needing a scapegoat, Nero points at those who follow the Jewish Messiah, forcing Calandra to make an impossible choice between right and wrong, friends and family, love and death.New York Times bestselling author Angela Hunt brings her series to an exhilarating close with a gripping tale of faith and sacrifice set against the rich tapestry of ancient Rome.

Devil Named Lucifer
$49.98Myth-Busting the Father of Lies
Despite growing secularization, our culture still pays a lot of attention to the devil. He shows up everywhere from movies to music and is blamed for all sorts of crimes, natural disasters, and the policies of politicians we don’t like. Yet in the Bible, Satan is barely present, barely speaks, and is subject to God’s authority. So how has he gotten so much airtime in the lives of Christians and the wider culture?
Award-winning biographer Jared Brock sorts through the myths and misinformation about the devil, revealing a biblical adversary we need to know, including:
*his real name, home, and life story–past, present, and apocalyptic future
*his actual powers–and lack of power
*how to spot, avoid, and overcome his tests, tricks, and tacticsWhen we have a biblical understanding of our adversary, we’ll see new and deeper ways to follow Jesus, grasp our role in His epic story, and find hope in Christ’s absolute authority over all things.

Make Sense Of Your Story
$66.65Looking back at painful stories from the past seems counterproductive, especially when it appears unrelated to our present lives. But what if exploring our past stories can help us make sense of where we are now and begin to imagine who we would like to become? Rather than ignoring, suppressing, or running from our past hurts, looking at our stories of heartache and how they have shaped us helps make sense of who we are now and points the way to freedom and meaningful change.
In Make Sense of Your Story, trauma therapist and Licensed Clinical Social Worker Adam Young helps you explore your personal story so you can understand how your experiences have shaped your brain–which, in turn, allows you to understand why your present day-to-day life looks and feels the way it does. He shows you how to confront and process the story of your family of origin, your sexual story, the story your body is telling you, your cultural story, your story with God, and more with kindness rather than judgment so that you can experience healing, self-acceptance, and release.
The secret to making sense of your present life is understanding your past experiences. And if you want to change the narrative, you have to engage your story.

James : A Commentary
$55.00In this new authoritative volume of the New Testament Library series, Joel B. Green presents the writer of James as a sort of practical theologian, directly addressing the lived experiences of Jewish Christ followers beset by Roman social conventions and sensibilities contrary to the divine command to love God and love neighbor.
The book of James is nothing if not pragmatic. Its core arguments rest on urging its audience to take concrete action to develop faithful life patterns in a world that is often set against those who seek to follow Jesus Christ as Lord. Joel B. Green shows how the practical wisdom of James can continue to speak prophetically to a range of issues that plague our contemporary experience–the entrenched and growing gap between the wealthy and impoverished foremost among them. But readers who might be tempted to formulate a simple to-do list from James’s precepts are encouraged instead to enter into the world of the text as fully and as humanly as possible by asking questions like: How would the letter’s first audience (and then how might we) hear, and internalize, the writer’s words about perfection, moral purity, humans made in God’s likeness, and prayer for the sick and disabled? How might their lives (and then how might ours) be shaped by James’s central concern with the double love of love of God and love of neighbor?
James: A Commentary examines the Letter of James from a variety of angles–its social and cultural contexts, its relationship to Israel’s Scriptures and to the teaching of Jesus, the development of its message, and its significance theologically. As with other volumes in the New Testament Library series, this commentary strives to come to terms with the literary and historical aspects of James: its arguments, its appeals, its perspectives; its interpretation of Jesus’ message and Israel’s Scriptures; its grasp of contemporary Jewish and Greco-Roman thought. But it most deeply aims to show how James points readers toward envisaging the world as God does and acting accordingly–personally and communally.
The New Testament Library series offers authoritative commentary on every book and major aspect of the New Testament, providing fresh translations based on the best available ancient manuscripts, critical portrayals of the historical world in which the books were created, careful attention to their literary design, and a theologically perceptive exposition of the biblical text.

Appreciate These Things
$18.00In a world tense with anger and division, how can we preserve our sense of well-being and inject a little more kindness into our daily interactions?
Pastor Jill J.

Thinking about, looking for, appreciating these eight things can reorient our hearts and minds in ways that nurture compassion for ourselves, those in need, and those with whom we are inclined to disagree.

With eight chapters of five reflections each, Appreciate These Things can serve as a daily devotional, an eight-week group study, or an accessible, inspirational individual read.

Marriage You Want
$66.65We all want a marriage that feels like home. We long for a partner who is there for us through all of life’s challenges and griefs, who is in on all our inside jokes, who delights in the family we’ve built together, who looks with hope toward the future with a shared faith and an arm firmly around our shoulders. But how do we get there? What actually works in the real world and honors the picture of marriage found in Scripture?
Based on the findings of their meticulous research, Sheila Wray Gregoire and Dr. Keith Gregoire dispel the pervasive myths about what makes a happy marriage. Rather than relying on gender stereotypes, they look at what actually creates intimacy, emotional health, and connection, asking deeper questions that lead to real healing and growth in your relationship with your spouse.
With enlightening stories, survey results, and practical tools, this book will help readers create a marriage they love. And with the evidence-based, Scripture-honoring advice in this book, that just may be closer than you imagine.

Preaching In A New Key
$28.00An Expository Preaching Guidebook for Post-Christian Communities
Preaching must connect with its hearers. As the perception of the pastor has changed in recent years, and as congregations battle with increasing doubt, preaching appealing solely to rationality doesn’t resonate in the same way as it once did. Post-Christian generations find themselves looking less for a charismatic authority figure and more for healthy leaders who are relationally connected to their neighborhood.
Scholar and pastor Mark Glanville provides a fresh look into the art of crafting sermons for post-Christian contexts. In Preaching in a New Key, he teaches the craft of Christ-centered expository preaching from the ground up. Writing for both new and experienced pastors, Glanville recognizes that it is time for us to reset our compasses.
Bringing together elements that are too often apart, Preaching in a New Key teaches expository preaching integrated with creativity, cultural discernment, pastoral health, justice, missiology, and more. Filled with helpful resources for seminary students and pastors alike, this book includes:
*Helpful visual aids to help prepare for writing a sermon
*Guides for how to structure a sermon
*Examples that show how to implement preaching practicesPreaching in a New Key offers a practical and refreshing vision for crafting sermons that are sustainable for the pastor and resonant with communities.

Unbiased Self : The Psychology Of Overcoming Cognitive Bias
$22.00A Christian Perspective on Overcoming Cognitive Bias
So much human behavior can be explained by two motives: we want to be right, and we want to feel good about ourselves. But the tension between these two motives makes us especially vulnerable to bias-and bias distorts our view of the world and of ourselves and can keep us from doing even what we know is right.
In The Unbiased Self, social psychologist Erin Devers lays out what psychology has discovered about bias and selfishness. To truly overcome cognitive bias, we need a vision of what an unbiased self could look like, stemming from a solid sense of identity-an identity available in Christian faith. Devers explains how a Christian concept of the self can provide the combination of humility with self-confidence that enables unbiased thinking. Using current research and illuminating stories, this book
*describes how “fast” and “slow” thinking work together in everyday life;
*diagnoses when we’re most vulnerable to distorted thinking;
*considers how regarding every person as a child of God counteracts implicit bias;
*reveals psychological insights into spiritual formation; and
*recommends practices for slowing our thinking to seek God’s wisdom about ourselves and others.The social sciences offer rich resources for understanding how to reduce stereotyping and prejudice. By thoughtfully integrating them with biblical perspectives on human worth and sin, we gain hopeful, practical guidance on how to perceive the world more accurately and love others more generously.

Here Be Dragons
$26.00From the New York Times bestselling author of Nobody’s Cuter than You comes a poignant, deeply personal story about trusting God to heal generational wounds so you can be a strong, loving presence for your teenage daughter.
In medieval times, uncharted waters were marked on maps as Here Be Dragons to signify that no one knew what dangers might lie ahead. Melanie Shankle quips that the years spent raising our teenage daughters could be labeled the same due to the uncertainties before us.
Like a lot of moms, Melanie found herself in need of a parenting map when her teenage daughter, Caroline, entered her sophomore year of high school where she encountered relentless mean girls and brutal heartache. While trying to equip her daughter to deal with the toxic social dynamics of high school, Melanie was hit with a cruel realization: The shame, criticism, and verbal abuse she had endured throughout her own life was wrought by one particular mean girl-her own mother.
Melanie hoped to raise her daughter to be a warrior, and she realized she couldn’t do that unless she became healthy enough to fight her own dragons. She invites you into her story as she explores her complex family dynamics, discovering what it takes for any of us to survive and ultimately thrive in spite of wounds that remain. This was the beginning of her journey of trusting God to help break generational cycles that had told the women in her family to find their value in everything but His love.
Filled with personal stories and written in the same whimsical and honest style Melanie is known for, Here Be Dragons will have you both laughing out loud and crying-sometimes on the same page-as you confront the challenges of raising your own strong, independent daughter while fighting dragons along the way.

Problem Of Life
$22.99Compelling answers to your biggest questions about life.
The Western world faces unprecedented levels of depression, anxiety, and loneliness. Despite advancements in wealth, knowledge, and longevity of life, many feel their lives lack significance, leading to a deep longing for fulfillment and happiness.
In The Problem of Life, author Mark Clark recounts a pivotal moment when he mistakenly informed a woman of her husband’s death. This profound mistake taught him invaluable lessons about existence and purpose. He argues that our relentless pursuit of money, family, and friendships–while important–often distract us from what truly matters, leaving us disenchanted.
What if we could address this inner ache? What if we could discover our true place in the world?
In this final book of a trilogy which began with The Problem of God, Clark presents 11 practical principles to help us flourish. He explores foundational topics like our origins, identity, and the meaning of suffering while drawing from biblical theology, psychology, and engaging stories, like:
*His battle with Tourette Syndrome and how it made him a better preacher and person.
*How he accidentally saved a woman from killing herself.
*Why scientists and tennis players agree that the cultural conversation about gender is all backward.
*Why your view on Sea World may predict your level of anxiety.
*What the dramatic events surrounding a false missile alert in Hawaii in 2018 have to do with you.
The Problem of Life illustrates how we may be looking in all the wrong places for joy, contentment, and satisfaction and points us toward God as the remedy for our brokenness.

It Is Finished
$19.99Now available in trade paper!
A Publishers Weekly and ECPA Bestseller
Across forty days of vivid storytelling, It Is Finished offers you a unique and vital roadmap to trace the power and necessity of the cross throughout the Bible, from the book of Genesis all the way to your present-day reality.
Through forty slices of the story of Calvary, master storyteller and vivid Bible teacher Charles Martin, will walk you back to the cross to look up at it from a different angle each day and ask the Father to reveal to you:
*What exactly did he mean when the dying Jesus said, “It is finished”–what was finished at the cross?
*When did what Jesus finish at the cross even begin?
*What does this man’s death 2,000 years ago have to do with me today?
*What is God offering at the cross that I so easily forget and take for granted?
*What do I not realize about myself that the Father God has never forgotten?
Whether it is your first, tenth, or ten thousandth time looking up at the cross of Christ, you can trust New York Times bestselling author Charles Martin, to wrap an arm around your shoulder, come alongside and walk with you as a fellow pilgrim headed in the same direction and answering the same question: “What will I do with this man, Jesus?”
Because before we can celebrate the resurrection, we need to backtrack to where Jesus has been, how He got there, and what His presence there accomplished. And while Satan can’t change what happened on that Friday, he has been working ever since to hide what happened there. To obscure the work of the Cross. To avert our eyes. But on this 40-day pilgrimage your eyes will open wide and your heart will race as you discover the answer to the question that can change your life, Lord, why me? Why would you endure the cross and despise the shame, for me?

Believe : Why Everyone Should Be Religious
$29.99Do you ever wish you had more faith, but struggle to make religious belief fit with modern assumptions about the world and human life? With a rare combination of empathy, open-mindedness, and persuasive argument, Ross Douthat offers a blueprint for thinking one’s way from doubt to belief.
As a columnist for the New York Times who writes often about spiritual topics for a skeptical audience, Ross Douthat understands that many of us–whether we are agnostic, somewhat religious, or longtime believers–want to have more faith than we do. But we think we can’t believe the way our ancestors did, knowing what we know now–can we?
With clear and straightforward arguments, Believe shows how religious belief makes sense of the order of the cosmos and our place within it, illuminates the mystery of consciousness, and explains the persistent reality of encounters with the supernatural.
Douthat argues that in light of what we know today it should be harder to not have faith than to have it. With empathy, clarity, and rigor, Douthat explores:
*Why nonbelief requires ignoring what our reasoning faculties tell us about the world
*How modern scientific developments make a religious worldview more credible, not less
*Why it’s entirely reasonable to believe in mystical and supernatural realities
*How an open-minded religious quest should proceed amid the diversity of religious faiths
*How Douthat’s own Christianity is informed by his blueprint for beliefHighly relevant for our current moment, Believe offers a pathway for thinking your way from doubt into belief, from uncertainty about our place in the universe into a confidence that we are here for a reason.

Power Of Being A Woman (Expanded)
$16.99Modern relationships are in trouble. It’s almost as if we’re all acting in a play, but we’ve forgotten our lines and the stage directions. Whether we think we’re in a drama or a rom-com, we’ve stepped on each other’s toes so much that when the curtain falls, we limp off to our dressing rooms.
It doesn’t have to be this way.
With her unique sister-to-sister voice, Michelle McKinney Hammond calls us back to the stage to discuss The Power of Being a Woman: Owning Your God-Given Gift of Influence.
“Being a feminine woman is not synonymous with being a weak woman,” Michelle notes.
“Femininity is not casting coy looks out from behind a fan. It is not wearing little lace gloves, or swooning in the face of the slightest indiscretion. It is an inner quality that emanates from a woman who knows her calling and her value.”
God has uniquely given women special gifts, including intuition, empathy, and even vulnerability. Michelle helps readers discover how to use these aspects of femininity to be successful in every sphere of influence.

New Testament Around The World
$99.98As the church continues to expand and strengthen in non-Western contexts, it is increasingly important for students of the New Testament to be aware of how our global brothers and sisters exegete and apply Scripture. Even when we share a grammatical-historical approach with others, our interpretation of biblical texts is invariably affected by social location and cultural context, which influence the questions we ask of the text and how we apply it. Western readers can become aware of how our culture influences our interpretation by learning from others from different perspectives, including those whose experience may match the original audience more closely than our own.
This volume, ideal as a supplemental textbook for courses in the New Testament, brings together distinguished scholars from around the world with perspectives we might not typically encounter and includes some minority voices focused on life within the United States as well. Each contributor writes on a biblical book or group of books, and together they cover the whole New Testament. These authors expose students and pastors in the West to new questions and ways of reading familiar texts. The result is an eye-opening, spiritually enriching experience that will supplement and strengthen our own biblical interpretation.

Vocation : The Setting For Human Flourishing
$12.95How shall we live? What is the good life? What is the value of a person? What is my place in this world? Is God active in this world? These are questions that have been asked in every culture and in every era. From the Hebrew concept of Shalom (wholeness/well-being) to the Greek concept of Eudaimonia (happiness) and even to the American notion that all people have the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, great thinkers have pondered what it means for humans to flourish.
The doctrine of vocation uniquely answers these questions. A certain level of security, prosperity, and freedom are essential components of human flourishing. God provides these components by working through humans in their stations in life such as parents and police (security), farmers and bankers (prosperity), and soldiers and governments (freedom).
And yet there is more for which we humans strive. We are the types of beings whose wonderment drives us to the pursuit of knowledge, justice, and achievement. In short, we desire to be justified. We want to be valued. We want to be right or just. We strive for epic-ness. But no mere human adulation will satisfy. Nor can we justify ourselves before God with our broken lives. God justifies Christians through Christ and then uses them. God adds another component to human flourishing: purpose. He uses Christians in his economy of love to take care of the world. He lifts us from the ordinary to accomplish the extraordinary even as we carry ordinary tasks. For the Christian these stations become callings or vocations.
This can only fully be appreciated if the Christian knows that he or she is free from pleasing God through works. Once the Christian is freed from this burden the whole of the Christian life is reoriented to the free exercise of love towards neighbor. It is the highest calling, the truly good, flourishing, and happy life.

Nobodys Perfect : Redefining Sin And Mistakes In Adolescent Christian Educa
$35.00Adolescents, like everyone else, make mistakes. However, religious educators Cynthia L. Cameron, Lakisha R. Lockhart-Rusch, and Emily A. Peck argue that some youths are born with the privilege of making mistakes in ways that others often are not. They also argue that many Christian education practices that guide our understandings of mistake-making are shaped by gender and gender identity, sexual orientation, and race in ways that disenfranchise some adolescents.
In response, Cameron, Lockhart-Rusch, and Peck curate a much-needed conversation that helps religious educators accompany adolescents and better understand mistakes based on a theological framework that names adolescents as fundamentally good. The result is an edited volume that explores ways educators can walk with adolescents so that youth can learn from their mistakes and grow without misunderstanding all mistakes as sin. Together, these essays seed a theology of adolescent goodness that’s rooted in a liberative Christian theological anthropology.
Drawing on both qualitative and quantitative research, Nobody’s Perfect offers nuanced and robust definitions of what a mistake is, apart from definitions of sin. The book also explores the challenges of talking about mistake-making and sin with adolescents within religious institutional contexts that shape policy, pastoral practice, and ministry orientations. Finally, the book presents youths’ own voices about how they understand and process what mistake-making looks like in the contexts in which they live and learn.
Nobody’s Perfect is for Christian educators who serve either in the academy or in congregational settings. The book well serves educators who recognize the various cultural and developmental challenges adolescents face when their church communities. The book also offers tools to help such church leaders attend to religious education spaces with a renewed theology that can root a more liberative experience of religious education.

Perfectly You : Embracing The Power Of Being Real

The media screens of today perpetuate stereotypes, but what would happen if instead of comparing ourselves and falling short, we compared ourselves and celebrated our uniqueness? What would happen if we believed in our worth and embraced what makes us different? And what if we truly saw those around us as neighbors and not merely adversaries to our particular group or station?
The days of doubt and division must end. It starts with authenticity, persistence, and understanding what truly makes you special.

Food And Holiness
$21.23A Clay Bridges Press Title
Food & Holiness examines how something as commonplace as food can become an idol when we place it above our relationship with God. A subject often overlooked in Christian circles, author Charlene Ralph sheds light on the subtle but powerful temptation to idolize food.
How can we recognize if we are worshiping food? A key question to ask ourselves is: “Do I sometimes feel guilty about what I’m eating?”
Charlene shares her own personal journey, one in which she often answered “yes” to that question-until 2007, when she made a decision never to eat in conflict with her conscience again. Through years of growth and transformation, she has come to a place where her love for God far outweighs any attachment to food, and she rarely, if ever, feels guilty about what she eats.
Food & Holiness is the fruit of this ongoing journey, offering a roadmap to help others break free from the grip of food idols and learn to love God more deeply than anything else. Charlene’s prayer is that this book will guide you toward freedom and fulfillment in your relationship with both food and God.

Shift : Courageously Moving From Season To Season
$18.99Discover a renewed sense of your purpose and the courage to move from what is to what can be.
We have a tendency to think of our own situation in polarizing terms: good or bad, up or down. We fall into the trap of thinking things are one way or another. We overlook the fact that there are transition times, such as the seasons between graduation and the amazing job, between divorce and remarriage, between a failure and a success.
The key from getting from one season in life to the next is surviving the shift and recognizing that it’s the period between the mistake and the mastery. Between what happened today and who you become tomorrow. To make the most of the shift, you must be willing to embrace and accept the consequences of past events and relinquish your attempts to alter or compensate for them. You must be willing to shift your paradigm from victim to victor. From survivor to thriver, from loser to chooser.
Full of relatable stories, practical, easily applicable advice, and deep scriptural insights, The Shift helps readers survive these in-between seasons with the courage that comes only when you’re sure of God’s purpose for your life.
This newly updated paperback edition of this classic book has three new chapters that help readers go even further in surviving and thriving in the recent shifts in our culture, as well as encouraging them to shift into living a life of legacy and purpose.

Benefit Of Doubt Workbook (Workbook)
$19.99The strongest faith isn’t one without doubts. The strongest faith is a one that grows through doubts.
“Am I the only one who has these doubts? What if my friends, family, or others find out I’m doubting–and even deconstructing–my faith in God? What is really true? Can we be sure about anything?” At some point, we’ve all had questions about Christianity and doubts about God. We’re afraid we might never find answers. Yet we’re not sure we’re ready for the undoing of our faith altogether.
Bestselling author and pastor Craig Groeschel has walked through the valley of doubt himself. In The Benefit of Doubt Workbook, which accompanies the book of the same name, he reveals how asking questions, seeking answers, and wrestling with doubt can actually draw us closer to God. With his trademark humor, warmth, and lay-it-all-on-the-table attitude, Craig shares stories from his own life as well as the Bible to help us wrestle with–and find helpful answers to–questions fueling our doubt:
*What should I do when I doubt God’s goodness?
*Why doesn’t God answer my prayers?
*Why would God only provide one way to heaven?
*Why believe in Jesus when his followers are such hypocrites?
*Why does God sometimes feel so far away?
*Doesn’t science disprove the Bible?
*How do I know if what I believe is actually biblical?Doubt is a normal part of faith, but that doesn’t make it any less intimidating to navigate. So if you’re wrestling with doubts, keep walking, keep knocking, keep asking, and keep seeking. As Craig writes, “I believe everyone–whether a long-term committed Christian or a long-term committed atheist–struggles with doubts. The doubts of a Christ-follower can take the shape of benign curiosity or a malignant tumor. It seems more Christians today are struggling and questioning or deconstructing their faith. I understand these doubts and want to help. It is my hope that this message moves you into a life after doubt and that you experience the fullness of all God has for you.”

Jesus Doesnt Care About Your Messy House
$19.99The phrase “cleanliness is next to godliness” isn’t found in the Bible. Your house can never be good enough to please God–not because you can’t scrub it or declutter hard enough, but because that is never what He was looking for in the first place. Join Dana K.

Dana K. White, trusted by millions for her no-holds-barred cleaning confessions and practical decluttering method wants to:
*remove any shame or identity crisis associated with disorganization
*help you understand God’s love and purposeful design for you that is much bigger than any mess in your house.

Dont Look Back
$19.99Move forward with hope instead of dwelling on the past.
There are times in life when we look back and feel desperate to make time stand still, especially when unexpected change happens and all we want is for things to go back to how they were. But we can’t stop the flow of life, and we can’t stop time. And looking back doesn’t enable us to go back. It just makes us stuck. In a place. In a space. In a memory. In a mindset. In a habit.
In Luke 17:32, Jesus drops three little words: “Remember Lot’s wife.” We don’t know her name, history, or story. All we know is that when she was fleeing Sodom and Gomorrah, she was told not to look back, and she did the one thing she was asked not to do. She looked back and turned into a pillar of salt. And out of the 170 women referred to in the Scriptures, she’s the only one Jesus told us to remember.
With a rallying cry to “Remember Lot’s wife,” Bible teacher, international speaker, activist, and bestselling author Christine Caine will motivate you to stop looking back, to get unstuck, and to keep moving forward into God’s promises and purpose for your life. In Don’t Look Back, Christine will help you to:
*Stop looking back and start looking to Jesus
*Invite Jesus in to help you get unstuck from the places and situations that keep you trapped
*Move on from where you are into all God’s plans, purposes, and promises for your life
*Look forward to the future and keep moving toward it in faith–especially when your world is nothing like it once wasJesus is beckoning us onward into the newness of what lies ahead. Stop disqualifying yourself by getting stuck in the past. Don’t Look Back will inspire you to move forward boldly.

What About The Children
$20.00Multiracial identity brings both gifts and challenges-for kids and their parents.
Beyond questions about skin tone and other physical characteristics, children may wonder where they fit in the world and why people treat them differently. Parents may find themselves ill-equipped for situations they never faced in their own childhoods. What about the Children? deftly provides families formed by interracial marriage or transracial adoption with the guidance and tools they need to help their children embrace, celebrate, and confidently navigate all parts of their heritage.
Author Nicole Doyley shares the challenges of growing up biracial without much guidance for navigating her Black and white worlds as well as the intentionality with which she and her Jamaican husband raise their children. Drawing on a wealth of personal anecdotes, expert insights, and practical advice, she illuminates five core values to help multiracial families thrive. From raising one’s own awareness of cultural differences to humbly seeking a diverse community of support to honestly preparing children for specific aspects of racism, What about the Children? covers both the basics and nuances of raising children with a sense of pride in their heritage and a strong, resilient sense of self.
Each chapter includes examples featuring families of various multiracial makeups, questions for readers to reflect on, and suggestions of age-appropriate action steps.

$24.99Study the narrative backbone of the Christian story and how all the plotlines of that story are resolved in the end.

Saving Truth Study Guide Plus Streaming Video (Student/Study Guide)
$24.99How Christians can guard their own minds against the lies that surround us and defend truth and clarity to a world that rejects both.
By accurately describing the Culture of Confusion, the rise of the “post-truth” mindset, and how it has affected our society, author Abdu Murray will awaken you and your group to the plight we find ourselves in and challenge Christians to steer away from contributing to such a culture by instead finding hope in the clarity that Christ offers.
In this eight-session, video-based study (DVD/streaming video sold separately) is designed to take you deeper into the topic of meaning and clarity through personal reflection and Scripture engagement and will:
*Help you understand the post-truth mindset and how it infects and affects us all.
*Equip you with facts and knowledge about the various areas of life where we are steeped in a post-truth mindset and losing our bearings as a culture, specifically: our freedom, our humanity, our sexuality, faith and science, and religious pluralism.
*Explain how the message of Jesus can answer our deepest questions, and how the actions of Jesus can bring truth and clarity to a post-truth culture desperately in need of objective, biblical truth.
Increasingly, Western culture embraces confusion as a virtue and decries certainty as a sin. Those who are confused about morality are progressive pioneers. Those who are confused about spirituality are praised as tolerant. And those who express certainty about any of these issues are seen as bigoted, oppressive, or intolerant.
For individuals or groups who feel like they’re enmeshed in the culture of confusion, the Saving Truth Study Guide sheds light on the way to see through the fog that surrounds us–by seeing Jesus and his message as the fixed point of reference that we so desperately need.
This study guide has everything you need for a full personal or group experience.
*The study guide itself–with thoughtful introductions, questions for personal reflection and application, and discussion questions for leading a group or team.
*An individual access code to stream all video sessions online. (You don’t need to buy a DVD!)

Dont Let Doubt Take You Out
$19.99Even when you don’t know what to think, you will know where to go.
After reading this book, you will crush the seeds of doubts in your mind, which are telling me that you’re the only one struggling. Likewise, Iyou will gain the invaluable skill of defeating doubt before it takes you out.
If you think about it, from your earliest memories, doubt was there: on your first day of school and waiting for you in the playground. A word spoken; a look given. Doubt followed you throughout middle school and high school… especially middle school. As an adult, this rival has shown up repeatedly at the important times in your life trying to convince you that you don’t have what it takes. These seeds of doubt about yourself can hold you back and take you out, all the while convincing you that you’re the only one struggling.
Doubt doesn’t just raise questions about oneself; It can also seep into our relationships with others and with God. When those closest to us let us down or disappoint us, doubt whispers in our ear causing us to question their motives or their loyalty, tempting us to withdraw and isolate ourselves. Doubts about our relationship with God can be an even more difficult force to reckon with on our own. But knowing how to defeat doubt before it takes you out is a critical skill that each of us can and must master.
Beloved pastor and communicator Todd Mullins knows that doubt screams the loudest in our spiritual lives, often causing us to question what we cannot see, touch, or quantify logically. As a result, our connection with our Creator is disrupted, causing:
*A disjointed and disconnected life from God
*A mindset of guilt and shame instead of grace and freedom
*A heart that isn’t aligned with what God wants for our futureAs senior pastor of Christ Fellowship Church, Mullins’s experience with doubt is deep and wide. He will help readers identify the source of these struggles and give them the tools to defeat doubt once and for all.

Anti Greed Gospel
$66.65Racism is not about hate and ignorance. It’s about greed. And it always has been.
Black Christian historian Malcolm Foley explores this idea in The Anti-Greed Gospel, showing how the desire for power and money–what some call “racial capitalism”–causes violence and exploitation.
Foley reviews the history of racial violence in the United States and connects the killings of modern-day Black Americans to the history of lynching in America. He helps the contemporary church wrestle with the questions racial violence brings up: How can we become communities that show generosity and resist greed? What is the next step in the journey for racial justice?
Readers will walk away with a better understanding of how they can resist greed that exploits others, love their neighbor more completely, and build communities of deep solidarity, anti-violence, and truth telling.

Colossians And Philemon
$66.65The Spirit who inspired the authors of the New Testament is at work today around the globe, as evidenced by the explosive growth of pentecostal, charismatic, and renewalist movements; the number of adherents is now estimated at more than half a billion. There is a clear need for a balanced, affordable, and accessible commentary series aimed at Christians who identify as Spirit-filled.
The Word and Spirit Commentary on the New Testament series emphasizes how we listen alongside ancient audiences for the Spirit’s voice in our time and contexts. Written by pastorally sensitive biblical scholars from the Spirit-filled tradition, these commentaries explore how God works in the biblical texts and how Christians can expect God to work today, even if in new or culturally surprising ways. Series editors are Holly Beers, Westmont College, and Craig S. Keener, Asbury Theological Seminary.
In this addition to the series, respected New Testament scholar Holly Beers engages Colossians and Philemon in their ancient setting and explores their message for Spirit-filled Christians today. Images, illustrations, and sidebars on pentecostal/charismatic/revival history or insights are included.

God Of Story
$66.65Many of us have been taught to read Scripture as a collection of information that needs to be categorized, systematized, and analyzed verse by verse, concept by concept. But the Bible isn’t a jigsaw puzzle, and it wasn’t written in just Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek. It was also written in the language of story. And as with every good story, we get to meet colorful characters, unravel mysteries, and see the world from a different point of view. It all makes more sense when understood from the perspective of storytelling.
In The God of Story, Daniel Schwabauer explores the narrative principles of theme, context, characterization, voice, and plot as a lens for understanding the cosmic story arc of God’s relationship to humanity. By including creative retellings of biblical stories, he demonstrates how to engage Scripture with imagination.
For a fresh approach to reading the Bible and discovering how its stories connect to your own, start by learning to see God as the master storyteller.

Never Alone
$59.98We have never been more connected–yet we have never felt more alone.
Isolation is the great soul wound of our time. As Christians, we know that the church has a unique gift to offer a hurting world: communal life in Jesus. This gift has the power to heal our loneliness and isolation. It is good news for the lonely, the isolated, the struggling. So why does it often sound like bad news to those who need it most?
Perhaps because we have misunderstood what the good news actually is–and how we ought to be sharing it. We have collapsed evangelism into offering a golden ticket to some postmortem destiny. But the goodness of the gospel we are called to share is about so much more: shalom, wholeness, and the peaceable kingdom of Christ breaking into the world. This is the gift of communal life in Jesus. A gift that re-ligaments us back together with God and one another.
Never Alone unpacks how we can be spiritual guides who help people heal, love, and unleash imagination to create better lives and communities. We all can be instruments to bring healing and wholeness to people’s lives in today’s epidemic of loneliness and isolation.
