Think Ahead : 7 Decisions You Can Make Today For The God-Honoring Life You
$20.99Add to cartWhy do we keep making choices we later regret–sometimes even the same bad choices over and over? Drawing on Scripture, story, and cutting-edge research into human behavior, pastor Craig Groeschel reveals the key to making the choices we want to make and experiencing the joy and freedom God has for us.
We all want to make great decisions. So what happens between our good intentions and the choices we actually make in the moment? If only we could make decisions ahead of time rather than when we’re under stress, overwhelmed, or swayed by fear or emotion. In Think Ahead, we learn how to do just that.

With thought-provoking exercises and questions for reflection, this interactive book teaches us that the quality of our decisions determines the quality of our lives. Think Ahead will help you:
*Understand the science behind your decision-making habits
*Overcome decision fatigue and debilitating fears
*Diminish the role of emotions in decision-making
*See how your small choices shape the kind of person you become
*Define and put into action the seven life-defining pre-decisions you can make today
*Becoming the person you want to be starts before you even make a decision. In Think
Ahead, you’ll discover the power of making decisions today to help you live the life you want to have tomorrow. -

Futureproof : How To Live For Jesus In A Culture That Keeps On Changing
$15.99Add to cartWe are living in a time of rapid cultural change, when Christian views are often seen as outdated and even dangerous. This can leave us feeling anxious about how to live out what we believe and uncertain about the future of the church.
Stephen McAlpine’s first book, Being the Bad Guys, sought to explain how our culture ended up so far away from biblical Christianity and how to reach out with the gospel wisely. In this book, he explores where things are heading and what we can do about that now, both as individuals and as a church.
Stephen examines secular narratives about purpose and authenticity, connectedness and progress, and compares them to the promises made by the Bible. He shows that the Bible offers a more satisfying, more realistic and more hopeful vision of the future.
He also examines the things that cause many Christians and non-Christians to be anxious about the future: technological change, political polarization, clashes over climate and culture wars around gender and identity. He reminds readers that God is in control and helps them to think through how they can live wholeheartedly for Christ, facing the challenges of the future with confidence and leading the way in terms of citizenship, stewardship and community.

America has the most liberal abortion standard in the world. Christians are hooked on pornography. The homosexual agenda is finding acceptance even in the church. Divorce is on the rise in the church. Human trafficking is manifesting as the ugly side of globalization. Those who were once considered great leaders are now preaching a doctrine of inclusion, with Christian who leaders or that are afraid to say on national television that Jesus Christ is the only way to salvation.
With the turn of a new decade plagued with violence, sickness, disease, and economic instability, the people cry out for the prophets to speak. And God is raising up a prophetic people who will help prepare the way for His purposes in our generation. A new company of Elijah prophets–holy, bold, and uncompromising–are being equipped to restore the spiritual destiny of the church in our generation.
In this book, Michelle McClain-Walters challenges readers to awaken to the call God is stirring in the earth and stand up as modern-day Elijahs who will partner with the Holy Spirit to change the culture by turning hearts back to God. Readers will be encouraged to:
*Identify the call of God on their lives in this hour and ask, “Am I an Elijah?”
*Learn what it takes to walk in the spirit and power of Elijah and where they may be in their own journey
*Understand the different roles miracles play during times of revival, reformation, and restoration
*Learn to pray prayers that move heaven and shake earth, as well as how to persist in prayer
This book will empower readers to discover their prophetic destiny in this hour and position themselves to receive a double portion of the spirit and power of Elijah.

From a single-wide trailer in the mountains of rural West Virginia to the halls of Yale Law School, Mary Marantz’s story is one of remembering our roots while turning our faces to the sky.

$17.99Add to cartIf someone asks you who you are, you probably have a pat answer that tells them what you do. But saying who you are? That’s not always so easy.
In See Yourself Beautiful, See Yourself Happy: An Invitation to Discover Who You Were Meant to Be, Sonia Luna invites you to embark on a journey to discover your true self. As the pastor of a church that reaches thousands weekly, she is known for her strong faith and Holy Spirit anointing.
Through each chapter, Sonia shows her vulnerability, sharing details of her life as a daughter, wife, mother, and minister of the Lord, explaining how everything developed her identity. By way of example, she offers insights into spiritual, psychological, and emotional issues that confront us as life 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.
In an intimate, relatable narrative, Sonia describes how the psychological and emotional wounds that once affected us in our childhood and youth can continue to cause deep traumas that alter or threaten our identity. These can lead to insecurities, fears, difficulty in recognizing our own talents, and unsatisfactory interpersonal relationships.
But Sonia offers reason for hope, affirming that there is not a single life that cannot be transformed by God. She invites you to discover your identity through the “infinite trigger” of Christ. By placing your life in His hands, you will fulfill your divine purpose and see yourself as you are: beautiful, valued, and loved.
“It is only when we understand how valuable we are to God that we start to notice the mistaken concept we had of ourselves,” Sonia says.
Once you see the best in yourself as God does, you will know your true identity as His beloved child. Happiness awaits when you work to achieve the divine purpose He has for you.

Camino Pequeno – (Spanish)
$12.99Add to cartQueremos amar a Dios con todo nuestro corazon, pero a menudo nos encontramos esforzandonos por agradarle, muy conscientes de nuestras debilidades. A medida que se acumulan nuestros fracasos, nos frustramos y desanimamos. Hemos perdido la esencia del evangelio? Existe una manera simple, pero verdadera, de servir a Dios, que pueda llenarnos de gozo y paz en lugar de miedo y desanimo? Santa Teresa de Lisieux enfrento luchas similares. Como mujer joven que deseaba entregarse a Dios, se sintio intimidada ante la “la empinada escalera de la perfeccion”. Therese escudrio las Escrituras hasta que descubrio un camino hacia la libertad. La llamo “pequeo camino”. Este es “el camino de la infancia espiritual, el camino de la confianza y la entrega absoluta”. Es un reconocimiento de que mientras somos pequeos e imperfectos, tenemos un Dios poderoso que nos alcanza con infinito amor, gracia y fuerza para cuidar de todas nuestras necesidades. Mientras Therese seguia este nuevo camino, se consideraba una “pequea flor” en el jardin de Jesus. Ella entendio que era amada por su Padre celestial y hermosa ante sus ojos, y que podia florecer justo donde El la planto mientras diariamente demostraba Su amor incondicional a los demas, en pequeos, pero significativos actos de bondad, e intercedio en su nombre. Este hermoso libro de regalo destaca la profunda comprension de Santa Teresa sobre la fe y la devocion, mientras captura visualmente, a traves de flores como simples ilustraciones, el tema de la sencillez que impregno su vida. Al leer extractos de la autobiografia, la poesia y las cartas de Santa Teresa, con los versiculos biblicos que los acompaan, aprendera a descansar en los brazos amorosos de su Padre celestial, permitiendo que su propia fe crezca y florezca.
We want to love God with all our hearts, but we often find ourselves striving in our efforts to please Him, acutely aware of our weaknesses. As our failures pile up, we become frustrated and discouraged. Have we missed the essence of the gospel? Is there a simple but true way to serve God that can fill us with joy and peace rather than fear and discouragement? St. Therese of Lisieux faced similar struggles. As a young woman who desired to abandon herself to God, she felt daunted at the thought of climbing “the steep stairway of perfection.” Therese searched the Scriptures until she discovered a path to freedom she called her “little way.” This is “the way of spiritual childhood, the way of trust and absolute surr

Loving Disagreement : Fighting For Community Through The Fruit Of The Spiri
$16.99Add to cartWhat does it look like to love someone you disagree with?
Fighting, disagreements, hatred, dissension, and silence. These things seem common in the wider Christian community today. Politics, theology, and even personal preference create seemingly insurmountable rifts. It’s hard not to see ourselves as “at war” with each other.
We’re not doomed to be stuck here, though. There is a twofold path out of this destructive war, out of seeing our brothers and sisters as enemies–and into a spacious place of loving each other even as we disagree.
In Loving Disagreement, Kathy Khang and Matt Mikalatos bring unique insight into how the fruit of the Spirit informs our ability to engage in profound difference and conflict with love. As followers of Jesus are planted in the Holy Spirit, the Spirit grows and bears good things in our lives–and relationships and communities are changed.
*Each chapter features author conversations about the communal and cultural implications of the fruit of the Spirit.
*Book includes a glossary of social and cultural terms.

Undone : A Modern Rendering Of John Donne’s Devotions
$18.00Add to cartAs the world entered the long night of 2020, Philip Yancey turned to John Donne’s Devotions, a nearly 400-year-old manuscript, for guidance. In it, he found a trustworthy companion for living through a global pandemic–or any other crisis. As Yancey says, “Nothing had prepared me for Donne’s raw account of confrontations with God.”
By faithfully and poetically rendering Donne’s 17th century prose into 21st century vernacular, Yancey opens up this classic work to a new generation of readers. He presents these Job-like meditations on sickness and suffering, alongside his own reflections, in a series of 30 readings that examine the frailty of the human heart, the goodness and sovereignty of God, and the eternal hope of the Resurrection.

Blessed In The Mess Study Guide (Student/Study Guide)
$15.99Add to cartCan we truly find peace and even blessing amid the chaos, the disappointments, and the other messes that life brings our way?
Life is often messy. We hear people say, “My life is a mess,” or “This situation is a mess.” What they mean is that life has become difficult, painful or confusing. But God never promised us a trouble-free life. In fact, His Word tells us to expect the opposite. In John 16:33, Jesus says, “In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world” (NIV).
In Blessed in the Mess Study Guide, beloved Bible teacher Joyce Meyer shows us how to be blessed in the midst of life’s most challenging circumstances. The Bible is filled with instructions on how to handle ourselves when difficulty comes our way, and this companion study guide shares that wisdom through poignant and practical teaching that equips us to remain stable and hopeful in every situation. No matter what problems we may face, there is a way to remain joyful and patient as God works on them. If you have not handled the messy issues or challenges in your life well in the past, then with God’s help, you can begin to manage them better, starting now.
We should never waste our pain. Through the wisdom distilled in this study guide, we can learn how to gain something from our messes, use those insights to avoid trouble in the future, and share our experiences to help other people find blessings in the midst of their messes.

This Dream Is Not For You
$27.00Add to cartBelieve it or not, the dreams we have for our lives are dangerous. Here, speaker and Bible teacher Wade Joye encourages us to let go of our dreams, surrender our lives to God, and truly live.
“Follow your dreams” is the self-help message of our day. In our schools and universities, media, and culture, and even in church, we are taught to dream big, work hard, and find true happiness in living our dreams. And so we spend our lives chasing.
But as we chase our dreams, we can be met with exhaustion, anxiety, and disappointment. Our circumstances may put our dreams in jeopardy, or even deny them-and we’re heartbroken. Or we achieve them and just want more.
Wade Joye offers here a different way. Release your grip on your dreams and trust God with your whole life.
Joye shows that by letting go we are freed from the pressure to secure some ideal, unattainable life, and instead become open to God and his plans. Living a life of daily surrender to God’s purpose we begin to see glimpses of God in our present circumstance, as he shows us that he, more than anyone, can be trusted.
With deep wisdom, frank teaching, and a pastor’s heart, Wade guides readers step-by-step to the place of letting go, the place where we find real life.

Friendship With The Friend Of Sinners
$18.99Add to cartThe Bible calls Jesus the friend of sinners, but it’s hard to imagine what friendship with Jesus really looks like. We so often don’t even know how to do friendship with the people around us, despite all the options we have to connect. So how are we supposed to feel that close to a holy, perfect, and invisible God? How do we see Jesus as the real person he is? And how do we experience true friendship with him when we struggle to maintain true friendship on earth?
Join author Jared C. Wilson as he explores what it means to be a friend of Jesus. Through candid personal stories and insights into the Gospels, Wilson uncovers easily overlooked details of the close relationship Jesus had with his followers. He reveals the ways we often hold Jesus at arm’s length and shows how to draw close to him through radical honesty, consistent communication, and unconditional love.
If you’ve found yourself lonely and longing for connection and friendship, it’s time to discover the remarkable possibility of closeness with Christ.

$15.99Add to cartTe has preguntado alguna vez si tienes demasiados tropiezos para que Dios utilice a alguien como tu? Si te puede beneficiar una historia de la gracia y la devocion incesante, indoblegable e inquebrantable de Dios, entonces la historia de Jacob es justo lo que necesitas.
Dios nunca se da por vencido contigo es para los luchadores entre nosotros y para los ineptos que llevamos dentro. Para los que somos en parte santos y en parte sinverguenzas. Tenemos buenas intenciones, pero lo hacemos bien? Bueno, no siempre. Tenemos avances, sin duda, pero tambien fracasos, a menudo en la misma hora. No necesitamos que nos los recuerden. No los hemos olvidado. Sin embargo, podriamos usar un curso de actualizacion sobre el plan perfecto de Dios para utilizar a personas imperfectas.
Y nadie es mas adecuado para la tarea que Jacob, el patriarca que se porto mal. Era menos un prodigio y mas un prodigo. Fuerte en inteligencia. Con poca conciencia. Dios utilizo a Jacob porque eligio utilizar a Jacob. Y punto. La palabra para tal devocion? Gracia. La gracia vino tras Jacob. La gracia lo encontro en el desierto. La gracia lo protegio en el exilio. La gracia le hizo caer al suelo y le bendijo. La gracia lo llevo a su casa en Canaan. La historia de Jacob nos invita a creer en un Dios que se queda con los indignos y los que no alcanzan el exito hasta que estamos a salvo en casa.
God Never Gives Up on You
Ever wonder if you have one too many stumbles for God to use someone like you? If you could benefit from a tale of God’s unending, unbending, unswerving grace and devotion, then the story of Jacob is just what you need.
His Grace Never Quits is a book for the members of the Lost Halo Society. For the strugglers among us and the fumbler within us. For those of us who are part saint, part scoundrel. We mean well, but do well? Well, we don’t always. We have breakthroughs, for sure, but breakdowns as well, often in the same hour. We need no reminder of our failures. We have not forgotten them. But we could use a refresher course on God’s perfect plan to use imperfect people.
And no one is more suited to the task than Jacob, the misbehaving patriarch. He was less a prodigy and more a prodigal. Strong on savvy. Low on conscience. God used Jacob because God chose to use Jacob. Period. The word for such devotion? Grace. Grace came after Jacob. Grace found him in the desert. Grace protected him in exile. Grace wrestled him to the ground and blessed him. Grace led him home

This Homeward Ache
$17.99Add to cartThat sudden yearning you feel when you see a sunset. That pang of longing you sense deep in your bones when you attend a funeral or even gaze at a poignant piece of art.

If you’ve ever wondered how to keep going in this world while holding on to the hope of the world to come, This Homeward Ache offers you courage, companionship, and a stirring sense of the scope of our journey home to Christ.

If Not For You Lord
$9.99Add to cartWe all have our “If Not” and “Thank You” moments where things seem impossible. This devotional was born out of a trying time in the author’s life when she felt like she was being squeezed, abused and misunderstood. As she wrote the words, “If Not for You, Lord” her thoughts went to the God of all creation in whom nothing is too difficult. It is an unending story because He is unending in what He has done, is doing and what He is yet to do. She began to write in gratitude to God for His unending, irreplaceable place in her life and that gratitude turned the tide of despair into God’s faith, and His hope that does not disappoint, and His unfailing love. The “If Not for You” moments turned into a joy-filled expression of “Thank You, Lord.”

Can I Borrow A Cup Of Hope
$18.99Add to cartWhen the pain and problems of life barge in, hopes and dreams run out. In these uncertain seasons of personal crisis, national chaos, and global catastrophe, it’s easy to wonder if life will ever be anything but sorrow and despair.
The apostle Peter knows exactly what it’s like when hope is gone. He watched as the Messiah was arrested, crucified, and buried. And Peter himself failed almost every test of his faith, even with Christ right in front of him. But he also knows that God is faithful and true, carrying us through our harshest suffering and redeeming our heaviest regrets. Bible teacher, author, and speaker Amy Lively dives into Peter’s first epistle, a short letter with a lot of power, to light the way for today’s struggling Christian. In this daily Bible study, she guides readers through the beautiful story of Peter and shows how he embodies the way to set our hope fully in Christ alone. With gentle honesty and a touch of helpful humor, Amy helps readers understand that when it feels like the end of the world to them, it’s just the beginning of the power of Jesus.

Ache For Meaning
$16.99Add to cartWill I have enough? Am I enough? Do I matter?
Deep in our souls is an ache that longs to be noticed, filled, transformed. And that ache boils down to these three fundamental questions.
The extraordinary thing is that we find the answers to all three questions in the temptations of Christ. As Jesus faces the wilderness, the core needs of every human being are on display: the ache to be secure, to be approved of, to have some control over our lives. But the ways that we are tempted to fill these needs inevitably fail.
In The Ache for Meaning, Tommy Brown journeys through our questions and temptations into the deeper invitation Jesus offers. In the mindsets and practices Christ embodied, we discover what kept him centered on his identity and purpose–and what equips us to do the same. Because when you know where you’ve come from and where you’re going, daily temptations toward security, approval, and power to control pale in comparison to your most significant reality: You are a child of God.
*A rich discipleship resource.
*Includes questions for reflection and discussion.
*Features invitations into spiritual disciplines and practices, like Scripture meditation, Sabbath taking, worship, and gratitude, among others.

Bearing God : Living A Christ-Formed Life In Uncharted Waters
$10.99Add to cartImagine yourself with Jesus, in a boat on the sea, as a sudden storm fills the other passengers with fear.
When the priest read this Gospel story in Mark 4, Marlena Graves didn’t see herself as the terrified disciples, lacking faith. She wasn’t Jesus, peacefully sleeping through the danger. She wasn’t the wind or the waves. According to Graves, “I was the boat! And then it occurred to me that, like Jesus’ mother, Mary, I, too, am a God bearer.”
Journey with Graves and discover these things:
*We are all vessels that carry Jesus as we journey throughout our lives.
*Boats are made for the water–they have a mission–and that mission always involves others.
*Jesus is not disturbed by any storms (or our reactions to them).
*Our lives, which carry Christ and the gospel, are to bring salvation to others, especially those who have been thrown overboard in life.
*There is a destination–life with God–at the heart of spiritual formation. As we bear God and go out to sea, God is also bearing us into oneness with him.
Bearing God is a short and enthralling read that will awaken you as a disciple of Jesus to a sense of adventure in your calling. Using the metaphor of Christians as vessels for Christ, Bearing God is packed with inspirational lessons and principles to help readers grow in their spirituality. An ideal discipleship resource for churches, small groups, and personal devotion.

God Never Gives Up on You is a book for the members of the Lost Halo Society. For the strugglers among us and the fumbler within us. For those of us who are part saint, part scoundrel. We mean well, but we don’t always do well. We have breakthroughs and breakdowns, often in the same hour. We need no reminder of our failures, but we could always use a refresher course on God’s perfect plan to use imperfect people to do great things.
No one is more suited to the task than Jacob. He was less a prodigy and more a prodigal. Strong on savvy. Low on conscience. Jacob took advantage of his famished brother and pulled the wool over the eyes of his dying father, yet God never turned his back on Jacob.
God used Jacob because God chose to use Jacob. Period. The word for that kind of devotion? Grace. Grace came after Jacob. Grace found him in the desert. Grace protected him in exile. Grace wrestled him to the ground and blessed him. Grace led him home to Canaan.

JourneyWise : Redeeming The Broken And Winding Roads We Travel
$17.99Add to cartJourneyWise: Finding meaning in each step along the path of life and being transformed by the journey as a whole.
A common thread binds us together: the broken and winding roads we all travel. Most of us carry with us some form of spiritual, emotional, or physical baggage. That type of weight takes its toll. Our paths can be difficult or daunting if we try to journey them on our own. In JourneyWise, noted pastor and author Shane Stanford offers us a different understanding of our life’s path, enabling us to reframe our journey into one that is healed and redeemed. He begins by asking these questions:
What if you could have Jesus Himself as your life’s companion? What if you had access to His innermost thoughts, tapping into His wisdom? What if your story could intimately intertwine with His and of others who closely follow Him? And what if all of this were possible by purposefully applying only a few paragraphs of His teachings?
The Beatitudes are more than just poetic verse used to begin Jesus’s Sermon on the Mount. They are the essence of Jesus’s message from beginning to end. These familiar words establish the overall tone of Jesus’s teaching ministry and reveal His most deeply held values.To be JourneyWise is to discover and live out the simple yet powerful truths of the Beatitudes. It is through the Beatitudes, which literally mean “blessings,” that Jesus gives us a new definition of significance before leading us to reflect on the deeper meaning of life, our relationship with God, and the interconnections we have with others. They speak to our friendships, actions, fears, prejudices, and joys. They are pragmatic, powerful lessons wrapped in simple words. In their simplicity and accuracy, the Beatitudes yield amazing results when practiced faithfully.
This book will stir your spirit and touch your emotions to bring healing so you can follow Jesus wholeheartedly. Writing with honesty, poignancy, and compassion about the complexities of our daily existence, Shane shows how, in each beatitude, Jesus provides a foundation for developing a significant and spiritually formed life. Here, you will find words of hope and the infinite possibilities of Christ’s simple blessings.
JourneyWise with Jesus.
