To Think Christianly
$35.99Add to cartIn the late 1960s and on into the next decade, the American pastor and bestselling author Francis Schaeffer regularly received requests from evangelicals across North America seeking his help to replicate his innovative learning community, L’Abri, within their own contexts.
At the same time, an innovative school called Regent College had started up in Vancouver, British Columbia, led by James Houston and offering serious theological education for laypeople. Before long, numerous admirers and attendees of L’Abri and of Regent had launched Christian “study centers” of their own–often based on or near university campuses–from Berkeley to Maryland. For evangelical baby boomers coming of age in the midst of unprecedented educational opportunity and cultural upheaval, these multifaceted communities inspired a generation to study, pray, and engage culture more faithfully–in the words of James M. Houston, “to think Christianly.” In this compelling and comprehensive history, Charles Cotherman traces the stories of notable study centers and networks, as well as their influence on a generation that would reshape twentieth-century Christianity. Beginning with the innovations of L’Abri and Regent College, Cotherman elucidates the histories of:
*The C. S. Lewis Institute near Washington, DC
*R. C. Sproul’s Ligonier Valley Study Center in Stahlstown, Pennsylvania
*New College Berkeley
*The Center for Christian Study at the University of Virginia
*The Consortium of Christian Study Centers, which now includes dozens of institutionsEach of these projects owed something to Schaeffer’s and Houston’s approaches, which combined intellectual and cultural awareness with compelling spirituality, open-handed hospitality, relational networks, and a deep commitment to the gospel’s significance for all fields of study–and all of life. Cotherman argues that the centers’ mission of lay theological education blazed a new path for evangelicals to fully engage the life of the mind and culture. Built on a rich foundation of original interviews, archival documents, and contemporary sources, To Think Christianly sheds new light on this set of defining figures and places in evangelicalism’s life of the mind.

Spirituality According To John
$28.99Add to cartThrough all of John’s works, a consistent message is woven: being a Christian is about abiding in Christ and in his words.
The Gospel of John, the epistle of 1 John, and the Apocalypse all begin in the same way: by pointing to the importance of knowing the Word, both written and incarnate. Using an artistic, storytelling approach to spirituality, John relies heavily on readers’ imaginations to help them see what it takes to become disciples by abiding in Jesus. Rodney Reeves combines exegesis with spiritual reflection to explore how the only biblical writer to employ three different genres presents a consistent vision of Christian spirituality. Rather than focusing on detailed instructions, John uses evocative metaphors and illustrations so that readers can envision how to follow Jesus–as disciples, in community, and even at the end of the world. Filled with stories and implications for today’s readers, Spirituality According to John provides an accessible introduction to the rich spiritual world of the Johannine literature that makes up much of the New Testament. In John’s era and now, anyone who has ears to hear can learn to truly abide in Christ.

Restless Devices : Recovering Personhood, Presence, And Place In The Digita
$24.99Add to cartWe’re being formed by our devices.
Today’s digital technologies are designed to captivate our attention and encroach on our boundaries, shaping how we relate to time and space, to ourselves and others, even to God. Our natural longing for relationship makes us vulnerable to the industrializing effects of social media. While we enjoy the benefits of digital tech, many of us feel troubled with its power and exhausted by its demands for permanent connectivity. Yet even as we grow disenchanted, attempting to resist the digital powers that be might seem like a losing battle. Sociologist Felicia Wu Song has spent years considering the personal and collective dynamics of digital ecosystems. She combines psychological, neurological, and sociological insights with theological reflection to explore two major questions:
*What kind of people are we becoming with personal technologies in hand?
*And who do we really want to be?Song unpacks the soft tyranny of the digital age, including the values embedded in our apps and the economic systems that drive our habits. She then explores pathways of meaningful resistance that can be found in Christian tradition–especially counter-narratives about human worth, embodiment, relationality, and time–and offers practical experiments for individual and communal change. In our current digital ecologies, small behavioral shifts are not enough to give us freedom. We need a sober and motivating vision of our prospects to help us imagine what kind of life we hope to live–and how we can get there.

Struggling With Evangelicalism
$17.99Add to cartWhen evangelicals make a mess, who cleans it up?
Many today are discarding the evangelical label, even if they still hold to the historic tenets of evangelicalism. But evangelicalism is a space, not just a brand, and living in that space is complicated. As a lifelong evangelical who happens to be a biracial Asian/white millennial, Dan Stringer has felt both included and alienated by the evangelical community and has wrestled with whether to stay or go. He sits as an uneasy evangelical insider with ties to many of evangelicalism’s historic organizations and institutions. Neither “everything’s fine” nor “burn it all down,” Stringer argues that we need four postures to grapple realistically and redemptively with evangelicalism. Without awareness, we don’t know our identity. Without appreciation, we risk succumbing to cynicism. Without repentance, we capitulate to idolatry. And without renewal, future generations will find this space even less inhabitable. This even-handed guide offers a thoughtful appreciation of evangelicalism’s history, identity, and strengths, and also lament at its blind spots, toxic brokenness, and complicity with injustice. From this complicated space, we can move forward with informed vision rather than resignation, and with hope for our future together.

We often think that it is quite easy to answer if we are asked who we are. However, if we ask ourselves that question, we cannot answer with any certainty. Most people do not know who they are; rather they respond based on what they do. Hence the insecurities, fears, and the difficulty in recognizing their talents, having satisfactory interpersonal relationships, feeling good about who they are, and being happy. In See Yourself Beautiful, See Yourself Happy, Sonia Luna shares her profound knowledge on women and human beings, not only on a spiritual level, but also on a psychological and emotional level. She begins by presenting herself as a child and later as a teenager, to explain the development of being and how finding out who we are is a journey that unfolds. This journey is shaped by our experiences since birth, the influences of our families, the moments that mark us, and the many stages that we go through in our development as human beings. Sonia invites us to discover who we are in order to achieve fulfillment and happiness, and see the best in ourselves.

Heavy Burdens : Seven Ways LGBTQ Christians Experience Harm In The Church
$19.99Add to cartReligious faith reduces the risk of suicide for virtually every American demographic except one: LGBTQ people. Generations of LGBTQ people have felt alienated or condemned by the church. It’s past time that Christians confronted the ongoing and devastating effects of this legacy.
Many LGBTQ people face overwhelming challenges in navigating faith, gender, and sexuality. Christian communities that uphold the traditional sexual ethic often unwittingly make the path more difficult through unexamined attitudes and practices. Drawing on her sociological training and her leadership in the Side B/Revoice conversation, Bridget Eileen Rivera, who founded the popular website Meditations of a Traveling Nun, speaks to the pain of LGBTQ Christians and helps churches develop a better pastoral approach.
Rivera calls to mind Jesus’s woe to religious leaders: “They tie up heavy burdens, hard to bear, and lay them on the shoulders of others; but they themselves are unwilling to lift a finger to move them” (Matt. 23:4). Heavy Burdens provides an honest account of seven ways LGBTQ people experience discrimination in the church, helping Christians grapple with hard realities and empowering churches across the theological spectrum to navigate better paths forward.

Church Of The Wild
$18.99Add to cartOnce upon a time, humans lived in intimate relationship with nature.
Whether disillusioned by the dominant church or unfulfilled by traditional expressions of faith, many of us long for a deeper spirtuality. Victoria Loorz certainly did. Coping with an unraveling vocation, identity, and planet, Loorz turned to the wanderings of spiritual leaders and the sanctuary of the natural world, eventually cofounding the Wild Church Network and Seminary of the Wild.
With an ecospiritual lens on biblical narratives and a fresh look at a community larger than our own species, Church of the Wild uncovers the wild roots of faith and helps us deepen our commitment to a suffering earth by falling in love with it–and calling it church. Through mystical encounters with wild deer, whispers from a scrubby oak tree, wordless conversation with a cougar, and more, Loorz helps us connect to a love that literally holds the world together–a love that calls us into communion with all creatures.

Genio De Jesus – (Spanish)
$15.99Add to cartUn manifiesto revolucionario sobre las innumerables formas en que Jesus de Nazaret transformo nuestro mundo y nos capacita para vivir vidas de valor, proposito y gracia hoy. Del autor mas vendido de La ultima flecha y El camino del guerrero. En todos los ambitos de nuestra existencia (arte, tecnologia, matematicas) estamos cautivados por historias de genios. Los genios violan el estatus quo, desestabilizan las viejas formas de pensar y, en ultima instancia, perturban la historia al hacernos ver el mundo de manera diferente. Vemos este efecto cuando consideramos el canon de los grandes genios de la historia, desde Leonardo da Vinci hasta Steve Jobs. Pero cuando buscamos al genio que dejo el impacto mas duradero en la vida humana: nuestra busqueda de la verdad; nuestro deseo de saber quienes somos; nuestra nocion de que la felicidad es mas que buscar servirnos a nosotros mismos – inevitablemente encontramos a Jesus. A pesar de haber vivido en la oscuridad durante la mayor parte de su vida, Jesus de Nazaret es sin duda una de las personas mas influyentes que jamas haya caminado sobre la faz de la tierra. En El genio de Jesus, Erwin Raphael McManus pregunta: que pasaria si estudiaramos y emulamos a Jesus, no solo a traves del lente de su divinidad, sino como un genio que nos mostro lo que significa vivir plenamente humanos? Basandose en las escrituras, la historia y las historias de su propio ministerio, McManus se sumerge en los matices de las palabras y acciones de Jesus, mostrando como no solo pueden inspirarnos, sino tambien transformar nuestra forma de pensar sobre la humildad, la libertad y el proposito que hace que valga la pena vivir. Para los cristianos que desean conocer y comprender mejor su fe, o para los lectores que desean crear su futuro mas poderoso, El genio de Jesus, es un estudio que invita a la reflexion de la persona mas importante que jamas haya existido.

Glory Now Revealed
$17.99Add to cartBelievers know that when we die we enter heaven and will spend eternity there with God and the saints who have gone before us. But what actually happens in heaven? What are we going to be doing there? Won’t it get boring at some point?
According to Scripture, a large part of our experience of heaven will be a continual revealing of God’s glory. Not just his glory in the moment, but during all of time. The mysteries of providence, the hidden movements of God throughout history, and the forgotten and unnoted works of even the most obscure of God’s people will be unveiled so that we can see how wise, loving, gracious, and powerful our God is. And though we will experience perfection in heaven, we will never be omniscient, which means we will always be learning more about God’s glory, inspiring us to return joyful praise and thanksgiving.
If your vision of heaven has been limited to clouds and harps and angels, it’s time to expand that view with the truth found in this biblically based look at the afterlife.

From Dry Bones To Living Hope
$16.99Add to cartThough the shadow side of aging is a reality, author Missy Buchanan brings spiritual light and nourishment to people in the later years of life. Older adults struggle with chronic pain and diminished physical abilities. They contend with losses that pile up like the dry bones in the prophet Ezekiel’s vision-the loss of loved ones and friends, the loss of their home and belongings, the loss of independence, and the loss of purpose. In a culture that values youth more than age, older adults often feel forgotten and without purpose.
Each chapter of From Dry Bones to Living Hope opens with an intimate, prayerful lament to God from the perspective of the older adult who longs for spiritual renewal and purpose. The authentic voice of lament establishes credibility with older readers who yearn for others to empathize with their struggles. The second part of each chapter, “Cultivating Hope,” guides them to God’s perspective on aging and specific actions they can take that lead to hope and joy.

7 Days That Divide The World 10th Anniversary Edition (Anniversary)
$18.99Add to cartNow revised and updated–John Lennox’s acclaimed method of reading and interpreting the first chapters of Genesis without discounting either science or Scripture.
What did the writer of Genesis mean by “the first day?” Are the seven days in Genesis 1 a literal week or a series of time periods? If I believe that the earth is 4.5 billion years old as cosmologists believe, am I denying the authority of Scripture?
With examples from history, a brief but thorough exploration of the major interpretations, and a look into the particular significance of the creation of human beings, Lennox suggests that Christians can heed modern scientific knowledge while staying faithful to the biblical narrative. He moves beyond a simple response to the controversy, insisting that Genesis teaches us far more about the God of Jesus Christ and about God’s intention for creation than it does about the age of the earth.
With this book, Lennox offers a careful and accessible introduction to a scientifically-savvy, theologically-astute, and Scripturally faithful interpretation of Genesis.
Since its publication in 2011, this book has enabled many readers to see that the major controversy with which it engages can be resolved without compromising commitment to the authority of Scripture. In this newly revised and expanded edition, John clarifies his arguments, responds to comments and critiques of the past decade since its first publication. In particular, he describes some of the history up to modern times of Jewish scholarly interpretation of the Genesis creation narrative as well as spelling out in more detail the breadth of views in the Great Tradition of interpretation due to the early Church Fathers. He shows that, contrary to what many people think, much of the difficulty with understanding the biblical texts does not arise from modern science but from attempting to elucidate the texts in their own right.

Miracles Today : The Supernatural Work Of God In The Modern World
$26.99Add to cartDo miracles still happen today? This book demonstrates that miraculous works of God have been part of the experience of the church around the world since Christianity began and that they continue into the present.

Invitation : A Theology Of Evangelism
$31.99Add to cartMoving beyond conversionism
Many Christians today are uncomfortable with older, simpler notions about evangelism as conversionism but see as insufficient the more progressive model of evangelism as hospitality. Transcending that dichotomy, Richard Osmer advances a theology of evangelism as a multifaceted act of invitation into Christ-following community.
Osmer begins by exploring references to evangelism in the New Testament-both in the Gospels and in the letters of Paul. He then enters into dialogue with Karl Barth to work through ideas of church witness and the relationship of evangelism to salvation. Finally, with lucid explanations and illustrative case studies, he offers guidance for pastors, laity, and students to use as they reimagine how evangelism might best happen in their churches and missional organizations. Osmer’s approach mirrors the conviction, stated in his introduction, that our concept of evangelism must be formed and constantly reformed by keeping the Bible, church doctrine, and practical theology in conversation.
Foundational to Osmer’s rendering of evangelism as invitation is the essential truth that it is Christ and the Holy Spirit who calls converts and makes disciples-not Christians. Thus, we can invite our neighbors to the wedding feast while remaining reassured that the table is already set.

Resurrected Faith The Heart Of A Contender
$24.99Add to cartA Firm Foundation Publishing Title
Wake up!
Far too many believers sleepwalk through life unaware of the pandemic of dead faith threatening their lives and those they love.
You have heard the Holy Spirit’s alarm and awakened with a deep longing for more of the presence of Jesus in your day-to-day life. Your heart aches for freedom from anxiety and meaningless repetition, hoping for the abundant life Jesus promised with overflowing joy, peace, love, and so much more.
Book one, Resurrected Faith: The Heart of a Contender, awakens you to the crisis of dead faith jeopardizing our families and churches. Unfortunately, you and I are powerless to revive what is dead. However, as we answer Jude’s ancient call “to contend for the faith,” the resurrection power of Jesus will transform us from the inside out. What is dead can live again!
You will be challenged to consider your singular heart’s cry. Don’t allow dead faith to hit your spiritual snooze button. Instead, permit the Holy Spirit to ignite a passion to know Jesus and make Him known within your heart.
While dead faith ignores the symptoms and continues to go through religious motions, resurrected faith will ignite the activity of “faithing” through an intimate knowledge of Jesus and not a lifeless creed. Your struggle for living faith will keep you from being fooled by counterfeit religion.
With the Spirit’s help, you will take a closer look at yourself and comprehend your God-given identity as a follower of Jesus. Knowing who you are, gives you unshakable confidence to contend for the faith and live what you believe. Finally, you will see how to persevere in the ongoing fight for resurrected faith with the heart of a contender.

Whatever the reason, many of us don’t feel at home in our bodies. But being disconnected from ourselves as bodies means being disconnected from truly living and from the divinely created fabric that weaves us all together.
Psychologist and award-winning researcher Hillary McBride explores the ways we inherit a broken and unhealthy understanding of the body and offers a more compassionate, healthy, and holistic perspective on embodied living. Weaving together illuminating research, stories from her work as a therapist, and deeply personal narratives of healing–from a life-threatening eating disorder, a near-fatal car accident, and chronic pain–McBride invites us to reclaim the wisdom of the body and to experience the wholeness that has been there all along. End-of-chapter questions and practices are included.

Glory Now Revealed
$29.99Add to cartBelievers know that when we die we enter heaven and will spend eternity there with God and the saints who have gone before us. But what actually happens in heaven? What are we going to be doing there? Won’t it get boring at some point?
According to Scripture, a large part of our experience of heaven will be a continual revealing of God’s glory. Not just his glory in the moment, but during all of time. The mysteries of providence, the hidden movements of God throughout history, and the forgotten and unnoted works of even the most obscure of God’s people will be unveiled so that we can see how wise, loving, gracious, and powerful our God is. And though we will experience perfection in heaven, we will never be omniscient, which means we will always be learning more about God’s glory, inspiring us to return joyful praise and thanksgiving.
If your vision of heaven has been limited to clouds and harps and angels, it’s time to expand that view with the truth found in this biblically based look at the afterlife.

You Are Not Your Own
$22.99Add to cart“You are your own, and you belong to yourself.”
This is the fundamental assumption of modern life. And if we are our own, then it’s up to us to forge our own identities and to make our lives significant. But while that may sound empowering, it turns out to be a crushing responsibility–one that never actually delivers on its promise of a free and fulfilled life, but instead leaves us burned out, depressed, anxious, and alone. This phenomenon is mapped out onto the very structures of our society, and helps explain our society’s underlying disorder. But the Christian gospel offers a strikingly different vision. As the Heidelberg Catechism puts it, “I am not my own, but belong with body and soul, both in life and in death, to my faithful Savior Jesus Christ.” In You Are Not Your Own, Alan Noble explores how this simple truth reframes the way we understand ourselves, our families, our society, and God. Contrasting these two visions of life, he invites us past the sickness of contemporary life into a better understanding of who we are and to whom we belong.

Soul Of Desire
$27.99Add to cartWe are people of desire.
In The Soul of Desire, psychiatrist Curt Thompson suggests that underneath all our longings is the desire to be known–and what’s more, that this fundamental yearning manifests itself in our deep need to make things of beauty, revealing who we are to others. Desire and beauty go hand in hand. But both our craving to be known and our ability to create beauty have been marred by trauma and shame, collapsing our imagination for what God has for us and blinding us to the possibility that beauty could ever emerge from our ashes. Drawing on his work in interpersonal neurobiology and clinical practice, Thompson presents a powerful picture of the capacity of the believing community to reshape our imaginations, hold our desires and griefs together, and invite us into the beauty of God’s presence. The Soul of Desire is a mature, creative work, weaving together neuroscience and spiritual formation to open up new horizons for thinking not only about the nature of the mind, but about what it means to be human.

Resurrected Faith The Heart Of A Contender
$18.99Add to cartA Firm Foundation Publishing Title
Wake up!
Far too many believers sleepwalk through life unaware of the pandemic of dead faith threatening their lives and those they love.
You have heard the Holy Spirit’s alarm and awakened with a deep longing for more of the presence of Jesus in your day-to-day life. Your heart aches for freedom from anxiety and meaningless repetition, hoping for the abundant life Jesus promised with overflowing joy, peace, love, and so much more.
Book one, Resurrected Faith: The Heart of a Contender, awakens you to the crisis of dead faith jeopardizing our families and churches. Unfortunately, you and I are powerless to revive what is dead. However, as we answer Jude’s ancient call “to contend for the faith,” the resurrection power of Jesus will transform us from the inside out. What is dead can live again!
You will be challenged to consider your singular heart’s cry. Don’t allow dead faith to hit your spiritual snooze button. Instead, permit the Holy Spirit to ignite a passion to know Jesus and make Him known within your heart.
While dead faith ignores the symptoms and continues to go through religious motions, resurrected faith will ignite the activity of “faithing” through an intimate knowledge of Jesus and not a lifeless creed. Your struggle for living faith will keep you from being fooled by counterfeit religion.
With the Spirit’s help, you will take a closer look at yourself and comprehend your God-given identity as a follower of Jesus. Knowing who you are, gives you unshakable confidence to contend for the faith and live what you believe. Finally, you will see how to persevere in the ongoing fight for resurrected faith with the heart of a contender.

Darwins Pious Idea
$47.99Add to cartCogent, provocative take on the hot-button subject of evolution
According to British scholar Conor Cunningham, the debate today between religion and evolution has been hijacked by extremists: on one side stand fundamentalist believers who reject evolution outright, and opposing them are fundamentalist atheists who claim that Darwin’s theory rules out the possibility of God.
Both sides are dead wrong, argues Cunningham, who is at once a Christian and a firm believer in the theory of evolution. In Darwin’s Pious Idea Cunningham puts forth a trenchant, compelling case for both creation and evolution, drawing skillfully on an array of philosophical, theological, historical, and scientific sources to buttress his arguments.

Finding Quiet : My Journey To Peace In An Anxious World
$18.00Add to cartMany of us live in between two extremes when it comes to mental health. On one side, we are told to embrace anxiety as a part of our being. The best we can do is medicate and live with it. On the other side, we’re told that freedom can be found if we believe hard enough, and that we’re at fault if we can’t get over the thoughts that hold us back.
But what if there is another way? A way to acknowledge the struggles and learn how to manage the things that trigger us while believing in the promises and goodness of God?
This is the tension that Jamie Grace has lived in for most of her life. Known as a singer with a vibrant personality, Jamie has spent the last decade touring and speaking about her faith on stages and in front of the camera. But behind the scenes she was diagnosed with Tourette syndrome, OCD, ADHD, and an anxiety disorder as a preteen. Since then she has faced inner battles that have included panic attacks and self-harm. In Finding Quiet, Jamie shares what she has learned about managing the negative effects of her diagnoses, harnessing the positive outcomes, and leaning into the journey God has led her on.

Los cristianos son cada vez mas vistos como anticuados, restrictivos y prejuiciosos cuando se trata de sexo antes del matrimonio, la cohabitacion, la homosexualidad, la identidad de genero o los derechos de los transexuales. De hecho, para muchas personas, este tema es una de las mayores barreras para considerar el cristianismo.
Sam Allberry, autor de muchos libros, entre ellos Is God Anti-Gay?, expone el buen diseo de Dios para la expresion de la sexualidad humana, mostrando que Dios mismo es amor y que solo el puede satisfacer nuestros deseos mas profundos.
Es un gran recordatorio del plan positivo de la Biblia para el amor, el sexo y el matrimonio, e ideal para regalar a las personas que pueden ver esto como un obstaculo para la creencia.
Why does God Care who I sleep with?
How Christians are viewed is increasingly seen as outdated, restrictive and judgmental when it comes to sex before marriage, cohabitation and homosexuality. For many people, this issue is one of the biggest barriers for them considering Christianity.
Sam Allberry sets out God’s design for the expression of human sexuality. Readers will be shown that God himself is love and his blueprint for sex is designed to help us to flourish and live out our full humanity.
It is a great reminder of the Bible’s teaching on love, sex and marriage and is ideal for giving away to people who may see it as a stumbling block for belief.

God Of The Dangerous Sermon

Evangelicals And Social Action
$35.99Add to cartEvangelical Christians around the world have debated for years the extent to which they should be involved in ministries of social action and concern.
In Evangelicals and Social Action Ian J. Shaw offers clarity to these debates by tracing the historical involvement of the evangelical church with issues of social action. Focusing on thinking and practices from John Wesley, one of the architects of eighteenth century evangelicalism, to John Stott’s work in the second half of the twentieth century, he explores whether evangelism and social action really have been intimately related throughout the history of the church as Stott contended.
After an overview of Christian social action prior to Wesley, from the early church through to the eighteenth century, Evangelicals and Social Action explores in detail responses from the evangelical church around the world to eighteen key issues of social action and concern – including poverty, racial equality, addiction, children ‘at risk, ‘ slavery, unemployment, and learning disability – encountered between the 1730s and the 1970s. Drawn from a wide range of contexts, these examples illuminate and clarify how Evangelical Christianity has viewed and been a part of ministries of social action over the last three centuries.
With an assessment of the issues raised by this historical survey and its implications for evangelicals in the contemporary world, Evangelicals and Social Action is a book that will help better inform the debates around the evangelical church and social action still happening today. This is a book for anyone wanting to deepen their knowledge of the history of the evangelical church, and anyone wanting to better understand Christian social action from an evangelical perspective.

Wanderlost : Falling From Grace And Finding Mercy In All The Wrong Places
$18.99Add to cartA coming-of-age travel memoir that probes thorny spiritual questions while taking the reader on a wild ride from the deep American South to the Middle East, Europe, and the Far East.
Once the golden girl of her Arkansas town, Natalie finds herself squeezed under small town shame and rejection after being kicked out of church for getting a divorce. It’s a hard fall off of a sanctimonious high horse, and religious fundamentalism has left her feeling broken and stuck. But she can’t shake the ‘wanderlust woes’ that have plagued her since childhood, so she runs away to the Middle East. As a mostly-sheltered Southerner, she struggles to adapt but is determined to be ‘at home’ in the world.
Her journey is more than a pilgrimage, it’s a peregrination: a one-way ticket to elsewhere in search of the place of her own resurrection. Within these pages is a suspenseful adventure filled with love, loss, laughter, tears, and a little bit of scandalous behavior, but at the heart of it, Natalie walks squarely into the unknown to confront the secret matters of the soul that we wrestle with at night.

Wisdom Of Your Body
$19.99Add to cartMany of us have a complicated relationship with our body. Maybe you’ve been made to feel ashamed of your body or that it isn’t good enough. Maybe your body is riddled with stress, pain, or the effects of trauma. Maybe you think of your body as an accessory to what you believe you really are–your mind. Whatever the reason, many of us don’t feel at home in our bodies. But being disconnected from ourselves as bodies means being disconnected from truly living and from the divinely created fabric that weaves us all together.
Psychologist and award-winning researcher Hillary McBride explores the ways we inherit a broken and unhealthy understanding of the body and offers a more compassionate, healthy, and holistic perspective on embodied living. Weaving together illuminating research, stories from her work as a therapist, and deeply personal narratives of healing–from a life-threatening eating disorder, a near-fatal car accident, and chronic pain–McBride invites us to reclaim the wisdom of the body and to experience the wholeness that has been there all along. End-of-chapter questions and practices are included.

Being With God
$29.99Add to cartAll fruitful doing must begin with being. For many Christians, it’s easy to be swept up into the fast pace of modern life, desiring to do much for God.
But we struggle to slow down and be with God.According to pastor, Enneagram teacher, and author AJ Sherrill, being with God is what empowers doing for God. Sherrill shares his own journey from “busy” Christianity to the ancient paths of contemplative practices. He equips readers to integrate rhythms of stillness, silence, and solitude, offering step-by-step guidance and examples of finding solitude both personally and on retreats.Sherrill warns that making these changes appears absurd in a society where time is money, productivity is central, and hurry is a way of life. He guides readers gently through the beginning and often confusing stages of contemplative practice. Citing timely insights from the world of neurology and mental health, he shows that solitude is crucial not only for Christian growth but also for holistic flourishing.
Readers will emerge, centered in Christ, well on their way to this goal: slow down, pay attention, be still, and be loved.

Evolution Of Adam
$18.99Add to cartCan Christianity and evolution coexist? Traditional Christian teaching presents Jesus as reversing the effects of the fall of Adam. But an evolutionary view of human origins doesn’t allow for a literal Adam, making evolution seemingly incompatible with what Genesis and the apostle Paul say about him. For Christians who both accept evolution and want to take the Bible seriously, this can present a faith-shaking tension.
Popular Old Testament scholar Peter Enns offers a way forward by explaining how this tension is caused not by the discoveries of science but by false expectations about the biblical texts. In this 10th anniversary edition, Enns updates readers on developments in the historical Adam debate, helping them reconcile Genesis and Paul with current views on evolution and human origins. This edition includes a foreword on the need for a new edition and an afterword that explains Enns’s own theological evolution since the first edition released.

He equips readers to integrate rhythms of stillness, silence, and solitude, offering step-by-step guidance and examples of finding solitude both personally and on retreats.Sherrill warns that making these changes appears absurd in a society where time is money, productivity is central, and hurry is a way of life. He guides readers gently through the beginning and often confusing stages of contemplative practice. Citing timely insights from the world of neurology and mental health, he shows that solitude is crucial not only for Christian growth but also for holistic flourishing.
Readers will emerge, centered in Christ, well on their way to this goal: slow down, pay attention, be still, and be loved.
