Resting Your Heart In Him
$15.99

Resting Your Heart in Him: Confessions to a Loving God highlights insights and wisdom drawn from The Confessions of Saint Augustine, the spiritual autobiography that has inspired Christians for centuries, as well as excerpts from Augustine’s other works.
Threaded throughout these quotations are tranquil illustrations of foliage and other scenes from nature. Enjoy this book for spiritual encouragement and growth, as a guide in your daily prayers and devotional time, and as an introduction to the writings of one of the greatest leaders in Christian history.

Augustine’s meditations about his life in the light of Scripture include not only an admission of his sins but also an acknowledgment of God’s greatness, grace, and truth. We can rest our hearts in God because we know that whatever we are confessing to Him–whether our worries, our sins, our praises, or our trust–we are coming before a loving God. He forgives us completely and welcomes us into His presence. He exchanges our sins for His own righteousness and guides us in His ways.

With Augustine, confess your struggles and doubts before God. Declare your love for Him and your faith in Him. As you do, you will grow closer to the One in whom your heart finds ultimate peace and rest.

“You made us for Yourself, and our hearts are restless until they rest in You.” –Saint Augustine

This beautiful weaving of biblical reflection and true stories from Jesus-followers turns our gaze again to the One who made us, loves us, and will never leave us. Each chapter in Portrait of God explores an attribute of God through a person in church history who radically experienced His nature. Here you’ll discover:

*Faith: how an all-powerful God worked miracles in the life of Kathryn Kuhlman,

*And more.

How Does God Change Us
$7.99

Experience Real Change through Union with Christ

Christians are instructed to “grow in the grace and knowledge” of Jesus. For some people, growing is a matter of living out a moral code. Others focus more on gaining knowledge. And still others seek a tangible experience of worship. But what if experiencing true change transcends all of these?

In How Does God Change Us?, pastor Dane Ortlund presents a way for sinners to experience real and penetrating change by bringing what they say and do in line with what they are: united with Christ. As readers recognize the depths of their own sinfulness, they become even more aware of their need for grace, and the wonder of what it means to be one with Christ. Ortlund invites anyone who is tired and weary from consistent sin patterns to lean into Jesus, for only then can God change them from the inside out.

This is the concise edition of Deeper by Dane C. Ortlund.

When God Feels Far Away
$15.99

Have you ever felt far away from God? Though many Christians are convinced they can’t admit that, if you’re feeling distant from God, you’re not alone. In fact, honesty about divine distance is an important first step back to the presence of God.

The truth is, we all go through seasons when prayers seem futile, worship feels empty, or we feel lonely, wondering if God cares or even knows what we’re facing. When those seasons come and our familiar spiritual routines are no longer working, how can we recover the closeness with God that we crave?

With transparency and a pastoral heart, Jamie Rasmussen reveals eight ways to navigate divine distance and experience the nearness of God again. After unpacking why God sometimes feels so far away, he mines the riches of the book of Esther for principles that are available to us today. The result is an intimate and practical guide to navigating seasons of divine distance so we can once again feel closer to God.

You Are What You Love (Reprinted)
$26.99

You are what you love. But you might not love what you think.

In this book, award-winning author James K. A. Smith shows that who and what we worship fundamentally shape our hearts. And while we desire to shape culture, we are not often aware of how culture shapes us. We might not realize the ways our hearts are being taught to love rival gods instead of the One for whom we were made. Smith helps readers recognize the formative power of culture and the transformative possibilities of Christian practices. He explains that worship is the “imagination station” that incubates our loves and longings so that our cultural endeavors are indexed toward God and his kingdom. This is why the church and worshiping in a local community of believers should be the hub and heart of Christian formation and discipleship.

Following the publication of his influential work Desiring the Kingdom, Smith received numerous requests from pastors and leaders for a more accessible version of that book’s content. No mere abridgment, this new book draws on years of Smith’s popular presentations on the ideas presented in Desiring the Kingdom to offer a fresh, bottom-up rearticulation. The author creatively uses film, literature, and music illustrations to engage readers and includes material on marriage, family, youth ministry, and faith and work. He also suggests individual and communal practices for shaping the Christian life.

Never Shaken : Finding Your Footing When The World Is Sliding Away
$15.99

Finding a firm foundation in a shaken and fractured world.

Do you feel tossed about or a little disoriented? The foundations of predictable society are shifting. In this ambiguous cultural forecast, we’re wondering what’s right, what matters most, and how we should respond.

How do we build a meaningful life and legacy when our lives feel fragile–when our future seems discouragingly uncertain? With a pastoral heart Daniel Henderson looks to Psalm 15 when David–late in his years–was also trying to make sense of the strangest of times. David felt the unexpected loss of family, dignity, and destiny. Some of his pain was the result of seeds he’d sown earlier in his life. Yet, as he penned Psalm 15, he was led to the solid ground of intimacy with God and integrity in his own life. He was left with the promise from God that He would always be secure – never moved.

The burdens under which David was laboring are staggeringly similar to our own. In Never Shaken, Henderson shows us how to build our lives on the gospel of Jesus Christ. He reveals how true worship and the presence of God is found in Christ’s life in and through us.

This book is an invaluable resource for all who desire to live with the hope and courage of Jesus Christ no matter what befalls us.

7 Pillars Of Gods Wisdom
$15.99

“Wisdom hath builded her house, she hath hewn out her seven pillars.” – Proverbs 9:1

“The church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth.” – 1 Timothy 3:15

The Foundation for Our Growth Is in the Wisdom and Knowledge of God!

In 1 Timothy 3, the apostle Paul described the church as a pillar that upholds God’s truth and wisdom for the world to see. Now, legendary Bible teacher Herbert Lockyer unlocks the seven “pillars” of divine wisdom demonstrated in Christ’s incarnation and redeeming work on earth. Understanding these pillars can help us to become more like Him and to fulfill God’s purposes, both here and in eternity.

The early church was so dynamic in its witness because it continued steadfastly in these aspects of the Christian faith. Likewise, when we meditate reverently on the events and truths of Jesus’ coming to earth, we appreciate more deeply the great salvation that we have received, and we become more eager to share these liberating truths with others.

Supernatural Transformation
$16.99

The central organ of the human body is the heart. It circulates the blood throughout the whole bodily system, pumping oxygen and nutrients to the other organs and pulling toxins away from them.

Yet we human beings have another “heart”-a spiritual one-that is the true center of our existence. Our spiritual heart is our identity. It is the foundation of our whole being, from which our desires, designs, purposes, will, thoughts, and attitudes originate.

Yet, as a result of the fall and our sinful nature, we all have symptoms of “heart disease,” and we need to know how to become spiritually heart-healthy. As the Scriptures say, “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked; who can know it?” (Jeremiah 17:9). Every spiritual, mental, and emotional matter-and many physical ones-is rooted in the heart. The state of our spiritual heart affects all aspects of our daily living. Therefore, the condition of our heart will be the condition of our life.

Join Apostle Maldonado in a journey of discovery into the purpose, motivations, and potential of our spiritual heart. God wants us to understand how, in Christ, our heart is designed to “pump” life to our entire being-producing mental, emotional, and physical health and removing the toxins of sin.

We were created to reflect the heart of our heavenly Father. And God is ready even now to change our heart to be like His through a supernatural transformation!
