What If Love Is The Point
$26.99
Popular actors Carlos and Alexa PenaVega share their inspiring stories of transformation, from feeling lost and searching for meaning to realizing that living for Jesus and loving others is what life is all about.
Despite the opportunities they gained from their successful acting roles–Carlos on Nickelodeon’s Big Time Rush, Alexa in the Spy Kids movies–the popular actors also faced many difficult challenges. Carlos was struggling with the influences of Hollywood and was reeling from a broken relationship. Alexa was healing from a divorce and an eating disorder she kept hidden. They felt lost and wondered, what’s the point of it all?
After a mutual friend separately invited them to a Bible study, Carlos and Alexa began to see God’s answers to that question. Now, seven years of marriage and three children later, they have built a thriving relationship and a family centered on Jesus.
What If Love Is the Point? is their shared testimony about the true joy they’ve experienced and the insights that have changed their lives, showing how:
*putting God at the center has helped them in their marriage, their parenting, and even their career choices;
*giving to others, instead of focusing on themselves, brought real fulfillment; and
*surrendering themselves to Christ helped them find each other–and in the process, discover who they really were.
In their own words, Carlos and Alexa say, We want to talk about it all. We want to write about all the junk, the ‘norms’ in society that aren’t good for us, how to navigate friendships, what it’s like becoming a parent, and how we learned to draw healthy boundaries at work. But we mainly want to ask, ‘What’s the point? What’s the point of all of this living?’ Carlos and Alexa are eager to share the truth they’ve uncovered: the more we surrender to God, the more we become who we really are.

Red Sea Rules
$10.99Add to cartJust as Moses and the Israelites found themselves caught between “the devil and the deep Red Sea,” so are we sometimes overwhelmed by life’s problems. But God delivered the Israelites, and He will deliver us too. The Red Sea Rules reveals, even in the midst of seemingly impossible situations, God’s promise to make a way for us. His loving guidance will protect us through danger, illness, marital strife, financial problems–whatever challenges Satan places in our path. Using the Israelites’ story as an example, Robert Morgan offers ten sound strategies for moving from fear to faith. Among them:
Realize that God means for you to be where you are. Acknowledge your enemy, but keep your eyes on the Lord. Pray. Life is hard. It is certain that we will face difficulties, and that God will allow them, as He allowed the Israelites to become trapped between Pharaoh’s rushing armies and the uncrossable Red Sea. But just as certain is the fact that the same God who led us in will lead us out. As The Red Sea Rules makes clear, He is in control. Updated edition with new study questions accompanying each chapter.
