  Embracing The Uncertain Second Edition

  $18.99

  Learn to navigate life’s uncertainties.

  Just turning on the news lets us know we are living in uncertain times. Economic instabilities, eruptions of violence, and natural catastrophes can alter the lives and landscapes of entire communities. Our individual lives are often just as unsteady: relationships can falter, plans can go awry, and confidence can wane.

  Uncertainty can be uncomfortable. Many of us prefer stability and a predictable future to an unknown fate. We are wired to want to control our destiny.

  The reality is that in our fast-changing, unpredictable world, there are few guarantees in life. It’s those who are willing to embrace uncertainty and make the risky decision to follow Jesus despite the many unknowns who will reap the greatest rewards.

  In Embracing the Uncertain, Magrey deVega invites readers to engage and wrestle with life’s uncertainties, not ignore them. The six chapters focus on six post-transfiguration, pre-Passion stories in the Gospels. Each of these stories is a signpost in the Gospel narrative, pointing down at a world filled with uncertainty but pointing us forward to a cross that can show us how to follow Jesus with courage, hope, and obedience.

  Embracing the Uncertain helps you dig deep into your faith and face life’s challenges with a renewed sense of purpose.

  In addition to the book, other study components include a Leader Guide and DVD.

  40 Days Of Decrease

  $19.99

  “What are you giving up for Lent?” we are asked. Our minds begin to whirl: Chocolate? Designer coffee? Social media? Forty days later, some feel disappointed in their efforts (it was a limited-time blend . . . ), some feel surprised by their success (didn’t even miss it . . . ), but perhaps precious few feel spiritually renewed.

  Can such fasts alone truly prepare us to celebrate Easter? Or any other chosen time of reflection during the year?

  Or could it be that before we can be duly awed by resurrection, we need to daily honor crucifixion?

  40 Days of Decrease emphasizes a different type of fast. What if you or your church fasted comparison? What if your family fasted accumulation? What if your office fasted gossip?

  40 Days of Decrease guides readers through a study of Jesus’ uncommon and uncomfortable call to abandon the world’s illusions, embrace His kingdom’s reality, and journey cross-ward and beyond.

  Each daily, 1000-word entry will include:
  *a devotional based on Jesus’ cross-ward life;
  *a reflection question to guide journaling or group discussion;
  *a fast to inspire a tangible response;
  *a thought-provoking Lenten quote;
  *a sidebar into the historical development of Lent.
