Dare Mighty Things
$22.99Add to cartIn Dare Mighty Things, Halee Scott proposes that it’s time for a new conversation about Christian women leaders. Western women live in a time of unparalleled freedom and opportunities. Although women are still underrepresented in leadership positions in every sector of American life—from politics to business to the church—the truth is that women have more opportunities to have a meaningful impact on our world and our society today than at any other time in human history.
The leadership potential of Christian women has been further truncated by the theological debate over the nature of women’s leadership in the church. While this conversation is an important one, it’s not the only conversation we should have about Christian women leaders. Since complementarians and egalitarians both agree that women can be leaders in some capacity, it’s time to focus on what unites us rather than divides us.
To help women steward their giftedness and thrive in their areas of leadership, Dare Mighty Things discusses the main challenges and strategies for success for Christian women leaders.

Grace Is Free
$9.99Add to cartWhat Does “Godly” Look Like?
A great treason is infiltrating the Christian world today. The gospel is meant to set people free, but instead it has been subtly tainted by the enemy. False teaching has slipped in virtually unnoticed, but its effects are deadly. To-do-lists, competition (even with spiritual disciplines) and extra rules have enslaved women to self-righteousness instead of leading them to Christ’s righteousness. Disguised as “helpful tips for women,” this distortion robs Christian women of intimacy with each other and labels them as “godly” for what amounts to human effort and worldly success.
Many people view this competition for godliness as striving for excellence. After all, what man doesn’t want a woman who is zealous to be the best homemaker, mother, and wife? But if organization and domestic genius were prerequisites for godliness, then Martha Stewart would be one of the godliest women in the world. The truth is, when women spend more time trying to appear godly rather than actually being close to God, there can be no other motive than a desire for approval from people rather than from God himself.
Grace Is Free unmasks this false gospel and the bondage to people’s approval that comes with it. It attempts to realign perspectives and help women understand how to rest through faith in what has already been accomplished through Jesus Christ. The true gospel is received through faith, not activity. “For in the gospel a righteousness from God is revealed, a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written: ‘The righteous will live by faith.'” (Romans 1:17)

Living Freedom : Losing A Spiritual 10 Lbs
$15.49Add to cart“Freedom,” the author proclaims, “is meant to be lived!” As a woman, Alison Wallwork is able to speak directly and intimately to the unique troubles faced by women, and she identifies the core problem: the myriad variations of fear. She also outlines the ready solutions presented in God’s Word. In addition to sharing the story of her own life, she provides inspirational testimonies of other women who are “Living Freedom” by putting the precepts of this book-which are drawn directly from The Book-into practice in their daily lives. Baggage-real or imagined, emotional or psychological-is rooted in the burden of spiritual baggage, and shedding it requires a spiritual solution. Every woman should read this, and every man should give it to a woman he loves-though it wouldn’t hurt him to read it himself first! (138)

YOU Plan : A Christian Womans Guide For A Happy Healthy Life After Divorce
$19.99Add to cartYou never thought divorce would happen to you. But it did. You may feel traumatized, relieved, hopeful, afraid, or all of the above. What choices will help you heal? How can you minimize the trauma for your kids? When is too soon to date…and what about sex? How can you learn from your mistakes instead of repeating them? And where is God in all of this?
Michelle and Connie have been where you are. They’re Christian women who are a little ahead of you on the journey. Michelle was divorced seven years and now is happily remarried. Connie is ten years into the journey and at peace with being single. They’ve each made good choices and their fair share of mistakes. In this book they rally their collective experience to help you navigate some of the twists and turns of the post-divorce journey, avoid pitfalls, and emerge stronger and more confident.
This is not one of those authoritative, “do as we say” tomes. It’s a woman-to-woman, been-there-done-that, faithful, and hopeful approach to such topics as acceptance, forgiveness, loneliness, online dating (or “CON-line dating”), sex, money, respect, finding friends, and caring for your physical, financial, and spiritual health. Most of all, it’s a powerful reassurance that no matter what has happened or what may happen next, God still has good plans for you. You will live and laugh and love again. This book can help you do it.

Woman Standing In The Midst
$15.49Add to cartWith the dawn of each new day comes the search for renewed strength as countless women choose to stand in the midst. Wrestling with a flood of thoughts and emotions are all part of their daily routine in their endeavor to overcome and prevail. Like Pharaoh’s daughter, they may not know the potential or purpose of the one for whom they must stand. Yet through courage and a strange sense of purpose they embrace whatever risks comes with their choice. Our world today is filled with the results and blessings of the fruits of their labor, which often costs them all. The many lives, families, marriages, homes and ministries that continue to thrive around us can be attributed to their sacrifice and selfless struggle. Many stood because they were left to, others stand because they have to but there are those whom the Lord have called to stand as examples and a source of strength to others in the midst. Their heroism must be complemented with a change of attitude and perception, resulting in a cultural transformation in the Body of Christ the Church. For ” There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus”.

Restless : Because You Were Made For More
$19.99Add to cartA practical plan to identify the threads of your life and how to intentionally weave them together for God’s glory and purposes.
Restless explores the fact that God has called each of us to do great things in his name, and then helps us discover what that might mean for each of us individually. Jennie says, “We are called to dream but we’re afraid to. But because we are called, when we don’t act on it we become restless-restless to find purpose, to make a difference in the world, to matter.”
Jennie doesn’t suggest women add one more thing to their to-do list, but instead invites them to stop and listen where they are. She frees them to be themselves and to see themselves as valuable. In addition to this permission to dream she helps them get over themselves and their issues and then offers a simple process on highly designed journal pages to identify the raw materials-the unique threads-they’ve been given by digging into five areas:
*Gifts
*Suffering
*Places
*People
*PassionsUsing her own story and that of women with whom she has walked through this process as examples, Jennie weaves in the story of Joseph the dreamer and how God used his threads to fit into the greater story of God. Untangling the threads of our lives and assembling them together in one place reveals a beautiful plan designed by the Creator himself:
God’s Agenda + my threads + the need + the Holy Spirit = my purposeAnd since living out our purpose is often filled with uncertainties Jennie addresses the doubts, fears, and challenges that hold women back from what they’ve been called to do. This repositioning of their lives is not a promise that all things will be perfect, or will go perfectly, but a promise that it will be the start of the best part of life-the part that completes what we were made for.

Overextended And Loving Most Of It
$18.99Add to cartWould you consider your life stretched to the limit?
Are you a burn-the-candle-at-both-ends kind of gal with lots of room for improvement when it comes to creating margins for rest? But you actually “love” it and wouldn’t want it any other way? Well, so does Lisa Harper.
In her humorous and packed-with-biblical-wisdom way, Lisa shows us that it is possible for a frazzled nature to be glorifying to the Lord. Every late-night conversation with a hurting friend and each precious, adopted child needing a little extra tender loving care–exhausting, yet imperative, ways to be extensions of the gospel. In each of these vignettes illustrating Lisa’s overextended life, we learn that even in the middle of our own pure motives and hectic schedules, it is only by resting in God’s sovereign mercy that we are able to keep risking our hearts to serve his people and fulfill the callings he has placed on us.
“Real” life . . . “abundant” life . . . g”odly” life is about loving Jesus and the people he allows us to rub shoulders with well–which means some days you’ll be stretched emotionally and physically. You’ll feel overextended. Thankfully God will expand our hearts and calendars to accommodate the calling. He is in the business of supplying us with new mercies every morning . . . new candles to burn, for more lives needing his light.

Unglued : Making Wise Choices In The Midst Of Raw Emotions
$19.99Add to cartRaw emotions are those feelings we hide from others but take out on those we love most. We may exhibit patience and kindness when talking with the grocery clerk, a co-worker, even the difficult person at the returns counter; but, at home, sometimes the smallest, most trivial things set women off, sparking an angry word, cruel comment behind someone’s back, or a flood of tears.
All women experience these ‘unglued feelings’ at times, often when they least expect it. These emotions are not wrong, in fact they are God-given. However, our emotions should be indicators not dictators. Each experience is an opportunity to either fall back into patterns that make us wallow in guilt or chose more wisely and make progress.
TerKeurst equips women with spiritual strategies to help them manage their reactions. It’s one thing to tell a woman to control her feelings but a whole new kind of help to show her step by step how to let this situation work for her rather than against her.

Stronger Through Christ
$16.49Add to cartLife doesn’t always go as planned. How many times have you asked the Lord why bad things have happened to you or those you love?

Thankfully, that bump in the road afforded me with blessings and joy. But, just as I had begun to relish in those blessings, the Lord presented me with another difficulty to overcome. The struggle that resulted forced me to learn how to cope with a new way of life; and I would not have survived without Jesus Christ holding my hand and guiding me through. He has turned the hardships into opportunities for growth, enrichment, and encouragement. I began this memoir as a gift for my daughter, Sarah. My wish for her is to recognize that she is a child of God’s and that her life, and every life, has purpose.

No Pretendas Mas – (Spanish)
$16.99Add to cartGeri Scazzero knew there was something desperately wrong with how they were doing their life and ministry. She finally told her husband, ‘I quit,’ and left the thriving church he pastored, beginning a journey that transformed her, her marriage, and her church. She quit being afraid of what others think. She quit lying. She quit denying her anger and sadness. She quit living someone else’s life. I Quit provides you a way out of an inauthentic, superficial spirituality to genuine freedom in Christ. I Quit is for every person who thinks, I can’t keep pretending everything is fine!’ When we quit for the right reasons, quitting changes us. Something breaks inside of us when we finally say, ‘No more.’ But it must be done for the right reasons, at the right time, and in the right way. That’s what this book is about.

Made To Crave Devotional
$19.99Add to cartLast year, author Lysa TerKeurst released the book Made to Crave, providing the Biblical answer to why people diet, regain the weight they lose, and continue to find themselves stuck in this vicious cycle. Made to Crave helped thousands of people finally achieve victory in their weight loss journey.
But, according to TerKeurst, “We need more than 19 chapters to stay motivated and on track. That’s why I wrote this daily devotional with 60 inspirational entries. There is plenty of new material not in the original book. Rest assured, I also included your favorite nuggets of wisdom from Made to Crave.”
Just like the Made to Crave book, this Made to Crave Devotional is not a how-to get healthy book. It is the road to finding the lasting ‘want to’ that extends far beyond the surface issues of weighing less and wanting to wear a smaller clothes size.
Says TerKeurst: “There’s a spiritual battle going on. It’s real. And it’s amazing how perfectly the Bible gives us specific ways to find victory with our food struggles.
“Even for girls who don’t crave carrots.”

Role Of Women In The Church (Revised)
$14.99Add to cartOut of print in recent years, this newly revised edition of Charles Ryrie’s The Role of Women in the Church, featuring a new foreword by Dorothy Kelley Patterson, proves its ongoing relevance in addressing what is still a divisive issue at the forefront of Christendom: What can a woman do in the church of God?
With clarity and depth, Ryrie recounts the status of women in ancient Greece and Rome. He looks at the significance of Mary as Christ’s mother, the attitude of Jesus toward women, and at women as ministers to Jesus. There are Scripture based chapters on marriage, celibacy, and divorce as well as a woman’s place in church life. The book’s final section examines the status of women in the church during the second and third centuries.
In sum, Patterson views Ryrie’s work as “a masterpiece of blending both historical records with biblical exegesis to present a well-reasoned biblical answer to the burning question from this generation and those to come.”

Resolution For Women
$14.99Add to cartWritten in partnership with Sherwood Pictures’ upcoming film, COURAGEOUS, in The Resolution for Women, popular speaker and author Priscilla Shirer challenges all women to be intentional about embracing and thriving in God’s beautiful and eternal calling on their lives.
Like the men in the movie who resolve to fully accept their responsibilities before God, Shirer explains how today’s women can and should live out their own resolution. It is “a defining banner that hangs over your life, written in the ink of your own choices.” A woman’s banner should be an accurate reflection of who she desires to be-someone completely Christ-centered who blesses and changes things in her world for the better.
The Resolution for Womeninspires women with intentional, spirit-filled living from three unique angles. Section one, entitled, “This Is Who I Am,” helps a woman define herself as “authentically me, purposefully feminine, surprisingly satisfied, and faithfully His.” Section two, “This Is What I Have,” invites her to value “my best, my blessing, my honor, and my heart.” And Section three, “This Is What Matters To Me,” focuses on joyfully honoring God as a wife, mother, and family member while resolving to live with the grace that leaves a godly legacy.The Resolution for Womenis designed to inspire a revolution.
