Life Is Hard God Is Good Lets Dance
$19.99Add to cartThis book is about one idea: joy. A deep sense of well-being, regardless of circumstances, is not only possible but is promised to all who follow Jesus. Life is hard, but God is good. And through Him we can start to see the world in a more childlike, humble, and optimistic way.
Brant Hansen doesn’t follow a success plan. He just keeps simply showing up and taking Jesus very seriously. And by taking Jesus seriously in all of life, he has become more joyful. More peaceful. And full of laughter. And that attitude is contagious to all who read his bestselling books and listen to his award-winning radio show.
In Life Is Hard, God Is Good, Let’s Dance, Brant is at his best–sharing stories from around the world, as well as from his own heart and head, with a writing style that will likely make you laugh, cry, and rethink your outlook on life and the kingdom of God. Through his unique life experiences and extensive travels, readers will see how God is moving through people all over the world, and they will learn to:
*See that it’s possible to live joyfully in a world of anger and anxiety
*Completely trust the character and promises of God
*Claim the abundant life mentioned in John 10:10
*Live each day simply and with a faith and joy that is contagiousBrant says, “In this book, I want to take the format of Bob Goff’s Love Does and mix it with my own strange experiences, in a way that I think Ted Lasso would be proud of.” Through short, energetic, captivating, and often humorous chapters, Brant’s message will leave you with a renewed love for a simpler life that overflows with greater joy than you’ve ever experienced.

Unoffendable : How Just One Change Can Make All Of Life Better (Revised)
$19.99Add to cartUnoffendable, now revised and updated, gives you a concrete, practical way to live life with less stress. In our easily offended, cancel-culture society, learn how to replace perpetual frustration and anger with refreshing humility and gratitude.
It turns out giving up your right to be offended can be one of the most freeing, healthy, simplifying, relaxing, refreshing, stress-relieving, encouraging things you can do. It’s a radical, provocative idea: We’re not entitled to get offended or stay angry. The idea of our own righteous anger is a myth. It is the number one problem in our societies today and, as Dallas Willard says, Christians have not been taught out of it. But what if Christians were the most unoffendable people on the planet?
In Unoffendable you will find concrete, practical ways to live life with less stress, including:
*adjusting your expectations to fit human nature;
*replacing perpetual anger with refreshing humility and gratitude; and
*embracing forgiveness and beginning to love others in unexpected ways.In a humorous and conversational style, Unoffendable seeks to lift religious burdens from our backs and allow us to experience the joy of gratitude, perhaps for the first time, every single day of our lives–flourishing the way God intended.

Unoffendable Study Guide Plus Streaming Video (Student/Study Guide)
$21.99Add to cartYou can choose to be unoffendable. The statement stood out to Brant Hansen when he heard it at a business meeting. The speaker was actually saying that being offended is a choice that we make. Brant found the idea to be offensive.
So, he did what any rational, fair-minded, spiritually mature person would do: He scoured the Bible for verses to destroy the argument. The only problem was that the more he searched, the more evidence he found that Christians should forfeit their right to be offended–and give up their right to be angry. When they do this, they make a sacrifice that is pleasing to God, practice humility, and become others-centered.
Over time, Brant came to the realization that the idea of having righteous anger is just a myth. While we all will get angry at times–after all, we are human–we cannot hold on to it. And as it turns out, when we do release our anger and give up our right to be offended, we will find it to be one of the most freeing, healthy, simplifying, relaxing, refreshing, stress-relieving, encouraging things that we can do.
In Unoffendable, a six-session video study based on the bestselling book, Brant shares insights from his journey and offers practical ways to live life with less stress and more care, including: (1) adjusting our expectations to fit human nature, (2) replacing perpetual anger with refreshing humility and gratitude, and (3) embracing forgiveness and beginning to love others in unexpected ways.
This study lifts religious burdens from the participants’ backs and allows them to experience the joy of gratitude, perhaps for the first time, every day of their lives–flourishing the way God intended.
Sessions include:
1. The Myth of Righteous Anger
2. We Know What Humans Are Like
3. The Physiological Effects of Anger
4. What About Injustice?
5. How to Not Be Offendable
6. The Difference Unoffendable MakesDesigned for use with the Unoffendable Video Study (sold separately).

Men We Need
$29.99Add to cartThe world needs real men, real bad. And there are all sorts of conflicting ideas and messages about what a “real man” is (and is not). Is a real man one who hunts, loves sports, grills meat, fixes cars, and climbs mountains? Sure, sometimes. But that’s not really the point of being a man and it’s not the purpose for which men were made.
Into our cultural confusion, Brant Hansen paints a refreshingly specific, compelling picture of what men are made to be: “Keepers of the Garden.” Protectors and defenders. He calls for men of all interests and backgrounds (including “avid indoorsmen” like himself) to be ambitious about the right things and to see themselves as defenders of the vulnerable, with whatever resources they have.
Using short chapters loaded with must-have wisdom and Brant’s signature humor, The Men We Need explains the essence of masculinity in a fresh, thoughtful, and entertaining way that will inspire any man who dares to read it.

Truth About Us
$18.99Add to cartWhat would happen if you admitted you weren’t a good person?
It’s a seemingly crazy question. From priests to prisoners, nearly everyone thinks they’re morally better than average. Why change our minds? Why admit the truth about ourselves?
In his conversational, fun-to-read, and delightfully self-effacing style, Brant Hansen shows us why we should fight our drive to be self-righteous: it’s breathtakingly freeing. What’s more, just admitting that we’re profoundly biased toward ourselves and want desperately to preserve our “rightness” at all costs even helps us think better, make better decisions, be better listeners, and improve our relationships with God and others.
Hansen draws from biblical insight and the work of everyone from esteemed social psychologists to comedians to make his point: the sooner we get over ourselves, give up the “I’m good” internal dialogue, and admit the truth, the sooner we can live a more lighthearted, fruitful, fun-loving life.
This book is about the freedom of childlike humility.
After all, as Hansen writes, the humble life is truly your best one.

Blessed Are The Misfits
$18.99Add to cartWarning: If modern church culture makes perfect sense to you, and you always fit in seamlessly, don’t read this. As for the rest of us…
While American church culture (and American culture at large) seems largely designed for the extroverted, it’s estimated that half of the American population is introverted, and they’re often left wondering how, even if, they fit in the kingdom of God. As one of them, popular radio host Brant Hansen brings news. It’s wonderful, refreshing, and never-been-said-this-way-before good news.
In his unique style, Hansen looks to answer questions that millions of people carry with them each day:
*If I don’t relate to God as emotionally as others do, is something wrong with me?
*How does one approach God, and approach faith, when devoid of the “good feelings” that seem to drive so much of evangelical church culture?
*How does God interact with those who seem spiritually numb?
*Is the absence of faith-based emotion a sign of that God has moved on or was never there?
*What if we aren’t good at talking to people about our faith, or good at talking to people at all?
*What if I’m told I’m too analytical, that I “think too much”?
*Where does a person who suffers from depression fit in the kingdom? Is depression a sure sign of a lack of faith?This book is good news for people who are desperately looking for it. (And for their loved ones!)
It’s also for those who want to believe in Jesus, but inwardly fear that they don’t belong, worry that don’t have the requisite emotion-based relationship with God, and are starving for good news.
Blessed Are the Misfits is going to generate discussion, and lots of it. It’s simultaneously highly provocative and humbly personal. It’s also leavened with a distinct, dry, self-effacing humor that is a hallmark of Hansen’s on-air, writing, and public speaking style.
