$19.99Is there a way to walk into the final chapters of life with peace and confidence, and with support and wisdom?
We all are living an earthly story with a beginning, middle, and end. While aspects of our story’s closing hold mystery, we do not have to feel lost as we move toward it. We instead can lean on the support and wisdom of others who know the path ahead.

Drawing on her years of experience and strong faith, Dr. Pyle will share inspiring patient stories and clear guidance, helping you to:
*navigate the world of healthcare with confidence,
*prepare an end-of-life plan with peace,
*remember your heavenly destination with hope,
*embrace the final chapters with love, and
*anticipate the presence of God and your glorified body with joy.Clarity can replace chaos. Assurance can overcome uncertainty. And love can conquer fear. You are not alone on this path. You are leaving the land of the dying and entering the land of the living, a place God calls home. As one story is closing, a bright new one is beginning.

Abortion Survivors Break Their Silence
$16.99How many survivors will it take for us to see the life behind the abortion?
Today’s culture would have us believe that abortion is simply a choice, a right, a controversial argument, and a religious and political issue of pro-life vs. pro-choice. It has become easy to think of the unborn as disposable products of conception-medical waste. But all of that changes when that “product of conception” defies the odds and arrives into this world as a living, breathing human being.
In Abortion Survivors Break Their Silence, we hear the true stories of abortion survivors whose resilience and courage humanize this discussion of “choice” and life emerging from the womb. They are flesh and blood people who, against all odds, survived abortion attempts and have dramatic, touching stories of their own. These stories often begin in shame and secret, but emerge to become inspiring dramas of hope, love, and forgiveness.
This book includes:
*Stories of ten abortion survivors
*A compassionate look into the pressures many women feel to abort
*Accounts of medical personnel who worked in the abortion industryAbortion Survivors Break Their Silence stirs the heart, challenges readers, and humanizes the sanctity of life in concrete and transformational ways.

Instruments In The Redeemers Hands
$19.99Comprehensive treatment of how God uses people as tools of change in the lives of others, people who themselves are in need of change.
In many ways, the church today has more consumers than committed participants. We see church merely as an event we attend or an organization we belong to, rather than as a calling that shapes our entire life.
Tripp explains how his work follows an “all of my people, all of the time” model. If you followed the Lord for a thousand years, you would still need the ministry of the body of Christ as much as you did the day you first believed. This need will remain until our sanctification is complete in Glory.

Outdated : Find Love That Lasts When Dating Has Changed
$16.99Everyone wants to be loved–to find someone who will stick with them through all of life’s ups and downs, someone who is in it for the long haul. But in a world where dating is increasingly based on split-second decisions and geared toward casual relationships rather than marriage, it’s easy for single people to feel discouraged, used, or unworthy of true love and lasting affection. Reality just never seems to match up with our (often wildly unrealistic) expectations.
Jonathan “JP” Pokluda has counseled thousands of young singles through the pain and heartbreak of dating the world’s way. Now he wants to dispel the myths, misconceptions, and fairy tales you’ve believed about dating and replace them with the truth from the One who invented marriage, created you to crave relationship, and is the very embodiment of true love. With plenty of true stories about relationships healed and love found, this practical book explains God’s purposes for singleness, dating, and marriage and covers why you should date, who you should date, and how you should date.
If you’re ready to trade the world’s way of dating for the way that actually works, it’s time to begin dating well.

*People of all ethnicities and backgrounds-including doctors, engineers, and CEO-experience the same God.
John Burke unveils the love story and characteristics of this God of all nations, revealed throughout history and in Scripture, now illustrated by these thrilling encounters. You will realize God’s love, power, compassion, friendship, and guidance are closer than you could ever imagine. And for such a time as this, people need to know a loving God is within their reach.

Holy Noticing : The Bible Your Brain And The Mindful Space Between Moments
$15.99Does your life ever feel like one series of rushed moments after another?
Do you want to feel more present and connected to those you love? Do you want to be able to listen without thinking the whole time of what you’re going to say next? Do you want to feel less distracted, less busy, and more whole? Most of us spend our distracted lives longing to get to the next, better moment and fail to notice the present one. We lack space between one task and the next, one thought and the next, one email and the next. Social media, TV, work deadlines, and family stress steal our enjoyment and engagement in the moment.
Holy Noticing will teach you how to:
*become more aware of your thoughts, emotions, and environment
*recognize Christ’s presence in the moment
*reduce your stress by developing the ability to focus on God and people rather than tasksMany today think mindfulness is dangerous, unchristian, or associated with Eastern religions-and often it is! But Dr. Charles Stone reveals that the art of holy noticing-purposefully paying attention to God as he works in us, our relationships, and our world-is a spiritual discipline Christians have practiced for millennia. Holy Noticing explores the historically Christian and biblical roots of this lifestyle, as well as Dr. Stone’s BREATHe model, which teaches you to be more engaged with Christ in the everyday moments that too often slip right by us.
Discover the lost spiritual discipline of holy noticing today and learn to engage the world like Christ.

Sacred Search : What If It’s Not About Who You Marry, But Why (Revised)
$17.99In the revised edition of his hit book The Sacred Search, author Gary Thomas helps single people of all ages make wise marital choices, in large part by rethinking what basis those choices should be made on.
Readers are encouraged to think beyond finding their “soul mate,” an idea that has its roots in the philosophy of Plato, and instead adopt a more biblical search for a “sole mate”– someone who will walk with them on their spiritual journey.
Thomas asks, What if we focused on why to get married more than on who to marry? What if being “in love” isn’t a good enough reason to get married? And most of all, what if God designed marriage to make us holy more than to make us happy?

Right Kind Of Confident
$18.99Award-winning author and popular Bible teacher Mary Kassian shows readers how they can be transformed into bold, indomitable women when they develop a reverent fear of God that rejects the wrong and embraces the right kind of confidence.
Women today are plagued with fears, insecurities, and anxieties. Popular wisdom says the answer is to “just believe in yourself” and “claim your truth,” but while these sound great on the surface, many women are still feeling unsure, worried, and confused. Popular Bible teacher Mary Kassian asks, “What if the solution isn’t looking within to drum up more self-confidence? What if the best way be the bold, courageous women God designed us to be is to find a source of confidence that is unchanging, firm, and trustworthy?” Drawing directly from Scripture with tips for practical application, Kassian shows us how to:
*gain greater insight into emotions like worry and anxiety;*identify and reject the world’s sources of confidence that ultimately always let us down; and
*replace debilitating fear with the empowering, reverent fear that produces the kind of confidence that lasts.
As the Wise Sage promised, “in the fear of the Lord one has strong confidence” (Proverbs 14:26), and when we embrace that, we go from scared to secure, from agitated to awed, from daunted to daring.

Sex Talk You Never Got
$19.99Men today are starved for sexual formation. They’ve been failed by parents, churches, and culture alike, leading to widespread shame, confusion, and brokenness in the area of sexuality. In The Sex Talk You Never Got, therapist Sam Jolman helps men reconnect their God-given sexuality with innocence, awe, and joy, and shows readers how to celebrate–instead of struggle against–the gift of sexual desire.
In our sex-saturated world, it might seem surprising that men need more talk about sex. But the reality is that sexuality is one of the most neglected aspects of men’s lives. From the woefully inadequate sex talks many young men receive from parents (little more than an anatomy lesson or a purity lecture, if anything at all) to cultural messages that unhelpfully weave both shame and permissiveness into men’s understanding of their own sexuality and masculinity, too many boys and men experience sexual desire as an area of struggle, confusion, and brokenness.
But it doesn’t need to be this way. God made men to be moved, to live with wonder and awe–and sexual desire must be formed within the context of that design. Sam Jolman, a professional therapist who specializes in men’s issues and sexual trauma recovery, shows men the way out of the wilds of sexual struggle. This timely and incisive book will help readers:
*learn about the vital link between sexual desire and their identity as worshipers;
*regain a wild and vigorous sexuality within the context of God’s design;
*understand how purity culture has needlessly put men in a conflict-ridden relationship with their sexuality;
*see sexual purity not as the goal but as the preparation for becoming fully alive to beauty, awe, and worship; and
*discover how to trade shame and confusion for a sexuality that’s filled with innocence and wonder.
In the Bible, Jesus’ greatest kindness was often offered to those suffering sexual harm and brokenness. He offers this same kindness today. He does not want men to repent of their sexual desire. Rather, through reconnecting sexuality with innocence and awe, God opens the door for men to experience the wild joy of desire, rightly ordered toward worship and God’s good purposes for their life.

Deeper : Real Change For Real Sinners
$21.99Experience Real Change through Dependence on Christ
The Christian life is defined by growth. Few question the call of the Bible to grow in godliness, but the answer to exactly how this happens is often elusive.
In his newest book, Deeper, pastor and author Dane Ortlund takes Christians into the deep structures of biblical teaching on how they grow in grace–most fundamentally, by enjoying all that is already theirs in Christ. Ortlund brings believers into the fullness of Christ, the emptiness of self-reliance, and their need for union and communion with God. This book makes the case that a believer’s sanctification does not happen by doing more or becoming better, but by going deeper into the wondrous gospel truths that washed over them when they were first united to Christ. Each of its 9 chapters encourages readers to fix their gaze on Jesus in the battle against sin, casting themselves upon his grace.

Dont Hold Back
$25.00The New York Times bestselling author of Radical challenges Christians to break free from an American gospel that prostitutes Jesus for comfort, power, prosperity, and politics–and fully pursue the true gospel that exalts Jesus above all.
Pastor David Platt believes we’ve gotten really good at following a really bad gospel–one that worships American ideas over biblical truth. It’s time for disillusioned, discouraged, and divided Christians, and the next generation, to follow Jesus into a different future.
But we have to make a choice: an American gospel or the biblical gospel. Worldly division or otherworldly unity. Compromise with the idols of our country or commitment to God’s call in our lives. In Don’t Hold Back, Platt encourages followers of Jesus to take necessary risks and find unimaginable reward as we:
– Work for–not against–each other, especially when we disagree
– Turn the tide on centuries of racial division in the church
– Trust all of God’s Word with conviction while loving everyone around us with compassion
– Do justice with kindness, and experience the good life according to God
– Play our part in spreading the gospel to all the nations of the worldWe can experience the full wonder of Jesus and transcendent beauty of his church here and now. But in order to do so, some things need to be different. Starting not in “those people,” but in each one of us. With the gospel in our hearts and God as our prize, let’s press on and don’t hold back.

Eternity Is Now In Session
$17.99Something in us is waiting-for what, we don’t know. Something different? Something better?
For Christians, perhaps the deepest expression of what we’re waiting for is found in the phrase “eternal life.” But what is eternal life? Why do we want it? And how do we know if we have it?
In Eternity Is Now in Session, bestselling author John Ortberg dispels the myth that eternal life is something way out in outer space that we can only hope to experience after we die-and that being saved is merely about meeting the minimal entrance requirements for getting into heaven. Instead, John unpacks the reality that the moment we trust Christ, we are initiated into “eternal living” with God as a here and now reality, one that will continue beyond our life on this earth.
Jesus defined eternal life just once, in John 17:3: “. . . that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent.” The kind of “knowing God” that is eternal life is an interactive relationship, not just an affirmation of certain facts about God. Once we begin the transformative journey of truly knowing God, we can start to experience His presence, favor, and resurrection power right here on this earth-in the details, tasks, and challenges of daily, ordinary life.
And as we begin to know God this way, we’ll realize each moment of our lives is a vehicle to the eternity we’ve been longing for all along.

Men We Need
$17.99The world needs real men, real bad. And there are all sorts of conflicting ideas and messages about what a “real man” is (and is not). Is a real man one who hunts, loves sports, grills meat, fixes cars, and climbs mountains? Sure, sometimes. But that’s not really the point of being a man and it’s not the purpose for which men were made.
Into our cultural confusion, Brant Hansen paints a refreshingly specific, compelling picture of what men are made to be: “Keepers of the Garden.” Protectors and defenders. He calls for men of all interests and backgrounds (including “avid indoorsmen” like himself) to be ambitious about the right things and to see themselves as defenders of the vulnerable, with whatever resources they have.
Using short chapters loaded with must-have wisdom and Brant’s signature humor, The Men We Need explains the essence of masculinity in a fresh, thoughtful, and entertaining way that will inspire any man who dares to read it.

Undistracted : Capture Your Purpose. Rediscover Your Joy
$26.99Original price was: $26.99.$15.97Current price is: $15.97.Through his pithy and inspiring storytelling that has endeared him to millions, New York Times bestselling author Bob Goff reassures readers that they can harness today’s distractions, follow Jesus’ example, and find focus, purpose, and joy.
You probably know what it’s like to be driving down the road when you suddenly feel the vibration and hear the guh-guh-guh-guh-guh of the rumble strips–those groves in the pavement–warning you that you’ve drifted out of your lane. You didn’t mean to get distracted. You only took your eyes off the road for a moment, but you drifted off course. And that’s a lot like life, isn’t it?
In Undistracted, Bob Goff lovingly yanks us back in our lane and helps us get back on track so we can live our lives with real purpose and joy. In his trademark storytelling style, Bob helps us:
*learn the destruction of distraction and the benefits of living a life of undistracted love and authentic connection;
*identify the distractions in our lives and either eliminate them or route around them; and
*catch a vision of our future, undistracted selves where we can experience true happiness and joy.
Bob’s inspiring and entertaining stories in Undistracted show us what it looks like to live a beautiful and purposeful life rather than drifting aimlessly from one season to the next. He encourages us to fix our eyes on Jesus and harness life’s distractions so we can find joy despite our circumstances.

New Marriage Same Couple Workbook (Workbook)
$19.99For better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health. We say those words and mean them. Until we don’t. This is a workbook about creating a different, better, new kind of marriage with the exact same person-no matter how dire the circumstances-with vision, commitment, and hope in the Lord.
Remember those early days of love? When your heart felt all fluttery, and you saw your person through rose-colored glasses? They could do no wrong. You were going to have the most beautiful life with big adventures and lots of sex. Of course, everyone says marriage is work, you knew that. But that was okay; you could get through anything together. It was going to be great.Until it wasn’t.
Something happened. Or maybe nothing happened. Maybe it was one big something, or a lot of little somethings over many years that landed you in a marriage you hardly recognize. For Josh and Katie Walters, it was a big something: infidelity. Now they counsel couples who find themselves exactly where they were: lost, hopeless, and unsure of how to fix their marriage.
This accompanying workbook to New Marriage, Same Couple lays out the principles Josh and Katie learned in that season when God healed and restored their marriage. This process is broken into four parts and is an acronym for the word STAY:
*S-start with you. (Discovering that when one person changes, the entire relationship changes.)
*T-take quitting off the table. (Bringing your whole self to the solution and not checking out mentally and emotionally.)
*A-allow others to be a part of your journey. (Trusting the right people, in the right ways, at the right time.)
*Y-yield to vision. (Looking past what is and imagining what could be.)
New Marriage, Same Couple Workbook will help establish hope in a couple’s marriage. And it will show them how to create a brand-new marriage, whether they’ve been married for a short time, or for decades.

Loss came suddenly for Jerry Sittser. In an instant, a tragic car accident claimed three generations of his family: his mother, his wife, and his young daughter.

This revised edition of A Grace Disguised plumbs the depths of our sorrows, asks questions many people are afraid to ask, and provides hope in its answers:
*Will the pain ever subside?
*Will my life ever be good again?
*Will the depression ever lift?
*Will I ever overcome the bitterness I feel?
*What is God’s plan in all of this?The circumstances are not important; what we do with those circumstances is. In coming to the end of ourselves, we can come to the beginning of a new life.

Imagine Heaven : Near Death Experiences Gods Promises And The Exhilarating (Repr
$16.99It’s obvious from the bookshelves and the big screen that heaven is on everyone’s mind. All of us long to know what life after death will be like. Bestselling author John Burke is no exception. For decades, he has been studying accounts of people who have had near-death experiences (NDEs). While not every detail of individual NDEs correlate with Scripture, Burke shows how the common experiences shared by thousands of survivors clearly point to the God of the Bible and the exhilarating picture of heaven he promises.
Imagine Heaven is an inspirational journey through the Bible’s picture of heaven, colored in with the real-life stories of heaven’s wonders. Burke compares gripping stories of NDEs to what Scripture says about our biggest questions of heaven: Will I be myself? Will I see friends and loved ones? What will it look like? What is God like? What will we do forever? What about children and pets? This book will propel readers into an experience that will forever change their view of the life to come and the way they live life today. It also tackles the tough questions of heavenly reward and hellish NDEs. Anyone interested in NDEs or longing to imagine heaven more clearly will enjoy this fascinating and hope-filled book.

Overcomers : God’s Vision For You To Thrive In An Age Of Anxiety And Outrag
$29.99Are you ready to live fully prepared and fully equipped to handle anything life throws at you? As Christians, we can be courageous and confident, knowing that God has placed us in human history for His purposes, and He will empower us regardless of our circumstances. Drawing on the book of Revelation and historical examples, The Overcomers will put steel in the spines of believers and remind them of the fierce, conquering, commanding authority of God over all the earth.
You were made for this exact moment in human history. Things may look gloomy, and you may feel discouraged, but because of the promise and hope found in Scripture, you can be brave, confident, and victorious today!
In The Overcomers, Matt Chandler reminds readers that they don’t have to be anxious or afraid of anything in the present or in the future because both have already been won. We are not victims but overcomers–and we are a key part of what God is working out in our day. God is at work in the mess, just as He has always been, and He continues to accomplish His purpose of seeking and saving the lost.
In this book, believers will:
*Find courage and confidence from fellow believers who have gone before us.
*Feel empowered as God reminds them of His promises fulfilled and yet to come.
*Understand the strategies, tactics, and deceptions Satan uses to try to keep us paralyzed with anxiety and fear.
*Learn to live a victorious Christian life marked by the power and presence of God.
The apostle John wrote his letter to a certain group of people in a particular place at a specific time. Although it was written to them, it was also written for us. The Overcomers takes a chapter-by-chapter view of Revelation rather than a line-by-line deep dive, helping readers practically understand what God wants to say to us today through this extraordinary book written thousands of years ago. Believers will be reminded that they are uniquely wired and uniquely placed in this moment in history as part of God’s big plan to push back darkness and to establish light. Christ has overcome, and in Him we, too, are the overcomers!

Shattered Dreams : Gods Unexpected Path To Joy
$18.00LEARN HOW TO LOOK THROUGH LIFE’S TRAGEDIES AND SEE THE LAVISH BLESSINGS GOD HAS FOR YOU.
“Shattered dreams,” writes Dr. Larry Crabb, “are never random. They are always a piece in a larger puzzle, a chapter in a larger story. The Holy Spirit uses the pain of shattered dreams to help us discover our desire for God, to help us begin dreaming the highest dream.”
To help you understand this neglected truth in the deepest and most helpful way, author and counselor Larry Crabb has written a wise, hopeful, honest, and realistic examination of life’s difficulties and tragedies. He wraps insights around the bold story of Naomi in the Bible’s book of Ruth.
As Crabb retells and illuminates this sometimes disturbing and often profoundly touching story, we are shown how God stripped Naomi of happiness in order to prepare her for joy. And we gain an unforgettable picture of how God uses shattered dreams to release better dreams and a more fulfilling life for those He loves.
Shattered dreams have the power to change our lives for good. Forever.

Nos Entiende – (Spanish)
$11.99Jesus nos entiende porque fue humano como nosotros, y experimento las mismas frustraciones y anhelos que nosotros encontramos a diario. Sintio nuestra profunda tristeza y experimento nuestra soledad mas oscura. Por encima de todo, Jesus nos entiende.
En la epoca de Jesus, las comunidades estaban divididas profundamente por amargas diferencias de creencias religiosas, posiciones politicas, ingresos desiguales, estatus legal y diferencias etnicas. Pero cual fue la posicion de Jesus en todo esto? Se alineo con las elites religiosas? O inicio una rebelion para derrocarlas? Ninguna de las dos cosas.
En cambio, fue de pueblo en pueblo, ofreciendo esperanza, nueva vida, y modelando una forma diferente de vivir y de cambiar el mundo. En vez de buscar poder, dinero o autoridad religiosa, compartio una forma de vida amorosa y sacrificialmente generosa: promovio un camino mejor. Pero como podemos aplicar el enfoque de Jesus al cristianismo moderno?
En las paginas de El nos entiende, encontraras 14 de las preguntas mas frecuentes sobre Jesus, entre ellas:
*Estuvo alguna vez estresado?
*Alguna vez se sintio solo?
*Lloro alguna vez?
*Se divertia Jesus?
*Como se enfrento a la injusticia?
*Se harto de la politica?Cada capitulo incluye preguntas frecuentes, respuestas detalladas de los colaboradores de El nos entiende y escritos seleccionados del autor de mayor ventas del New York Times, Max Lucado, un codigo QR que nos lleva a un video profundo que podemos compartir con otros, y versiculos eternos de las Escrituras.
Ya sea que estes explorando la fe por primera vez, buscando respuestas a las preguntas dificiles de la vida o buscando una relacion mas profunda con Jesus, El nos entiende sera tu guia en cada paso del camino.
He Gets Us
Jesus understands our lives because he was human too. He faced the same hardships and personal struggles that we encounter daily. He felt our deepest sadness and experienced our darkest solitude. Above all, Jesus gets us.
In Jesus’ time, communities were deeply divided by bitter differences in religious beliefs, political positions, income inequality, legal status, and ethnic differences. But where was Jesus in all of this? Did he align with the religious elites? Or did he start an uprising to overthrow them? Neither of the above.
Instead, he went from town to town, offering hope, new life, and modeling a different way to live and to change the world. Instead of pursuing power, money, or religious authority

Escuchando A Jesus En Medio De – (Spanish)
$14.99En tiempos de profundo dolor y decepcion, podria cuestionarse todo lo que creemos.
En este libro que cambia paradigmas, Nancy Guthrie invita con gentileza a los lectores a acercarse con ella para escuchar a Jesus traer revelacion y entendimiento a las preguntas que permanecen sobre las penas de la vida:
*Como estuvo Dios involucrado en esto? y Por que permitio que ocurriera?
*Por que no ha contestado Dios mis oraciones por un milagro?
*Puedo esperar que Dios me proteja?
*Si quiera le importa a Dios?Segun Nancy, el buscar respuestas a nuestras preguntas puede o alejarnos mas de Dios o causar que nos acerquemos mas profundamente a el. Es conforme escuchamos a Jesus en medio de nuestra confusion que hayamos claridad sobre las promesas del evangelio que quizas hemos aplicado mal y los propositos de Dios que quizas hemos malentendido.
En Escucha a Jesus en medio de tu dolor, Nancy comparte las respuestas que ella ha encontrado al escuchar las promesas (Mi gracia es todo lo que necesitas), las ordenes (Ten fe, y ella sera sanada) y las oraciones (Que se cumpla tu voluntad) de Jesus en medio del dolor de su propia vida.
In times of deep sorrow and disappointment, everything we believe can be called into question.
In this paradigm-shifting book, Nancy Guthrie gently invites readers to lean in along with her to hear Jesus speak understanding and insight into the lingering questions we all have about the hurts of life:
*What was God’s involvement in this, and why did he let it happen?
*Why hasn’t God answered my prayers for a miracle?
*Can I expect God to protect me?
*Does God even care?According to Nancy, pursuing answers to our questions can either take us far from God or cause us to press into him more deeply. It is as we hear Jesus speak into our confusion that we come to clarity about the promises of the gospel we may have misapplied and the purposes of God we may have misunderstood.
In Hearing Jesus Speak into Your Sorrow, Nancy shares the answers she has found as she has heard Jesus speaking promises (“My grace is all you need”) , imperatives (“Be healed!”), and prayers (“Thy will be done”) into the sorrow in her own life.
