Delighting In Jesus: Rhythms To Restore Joy When You Feel Broken Bored Or B
$16.99Radiating with joy-this is how we’re meant to live.
I know I should read my Bible and pray every day, but I’m just not consistent.For many Christians, “daily devotions” and “spiritual disciplines” strike guilt and shame in our hearts. But what if we got it all wrong? What if our Christian experience hinges not on perfect spiritual disciplines, but on the perfect love of a Father who delights in us?
In Delighting in Jesus, Bible teacher Asheritah Ciuciu invites you to lift your gaze from your to-do list and get to know the One who spun the stars and knows you by name.
Discover the theological foundation for how we were Created for Delight. You’ll see that throughout Scripture, joy originates from God, pulses at the heart of the gospel, and is promised to us as fruit from God’s Spirit.
By considering three Robbers of Delight, you’ll trade those things that steal your joy to receive Jesus’ personal invitation to a life of joy with Him-not just someday in heaven, but starting here and now on earth!
Finally, you’ll learn six practical Rhythms of Delight: joyful practices found in Jesus’ own life that increase our awareness of God’s presence with us, His delight in us, and our continual communion with Him. Forget about rigid formulas-these creative ideas will fit the rhythm of your modern life and lead to freedom to connect with God right where you are.
If you’re weary or disheartened, this book is for you. Come and drink from God’s river of delights and find in Him the desires of your heart.

Path To Knowing God
$15.99Can We Really Know God?
Renowned international Bible teacher Derek Prince affirms that we can know God and that there is a clear path to doing so. He unfolds from Scripture what it means to know God intimately, become united with Him in His purposes, and commit ourselves to living for Him fully.
Prince explains our need to know God personally and experientially so that we can have true life and fellowship with Him–and then understand what He is calling us to be and do. “There is a calling for every saved person,” he says, “a special way of life, a special task, a special responsibility.”
This book describes the various steps to knowing God and having a right relationship with Him–and reveals what proceeds from that close relationship. We experience real strength and stability only from knowing God. As we earnestly seek Him, His wisdom, and His ways above all else, we will increasingly come to understand His mind and heart. Those whom Christ has redeemed are God’s own special people, and He has made us a kingdom of priests to help bring the peaceful rule of His kingdom to individuals and nations. The dark forces of the enemy are encroaching on the world in many ways, blinding people to their true purpose and enslaving them in empty pursuits. God calls us to take part–through intercession and sharing the gospel message–in bringing them His light and setting them free so that they, too, can know God and live wholeheartedly for Him.

Million Little Miracles
$25.00Think you’ve never experienced a miracle? The New York Times bestselling author of Win the Day reminds us of the millions of miracles God performs every day and inspires us to live with a clearer sense of identity and purpose.
In our age of instant access to information, we are in danger of losing our grip on our most ancient emotion-childlike wonder. We need to cultivate a holy curiosity. For what? For everything! Too many of us are so wrapped up in our own worlds that we end up worshiping a god who looks like us, thinks like us, and votes like us. As a result of our impoverished view of God, most of us are only living at half capacity-we let anxiety keep us from purusing our dreams because we can’t see that God is far bigger than our biggest problems and close enough to help.
In response, Mark Batterson invites us to consider the miraculous work of God going on around us every day. He highlights three aspects of God that we take for granted. God is:
*Bigger than we think: our complex, interconnected universe speaks to God’s vastness. Mark Batterson shows us how to dream bigger and live more confidently in light of God’s immense power.
*Closer than we realize: God is not only bigger than your biggest problems, he is close enough to help you face them. This book will help you take inventory of what’s holding you back and a live with a greater awareness of God’s empowering presence.
*Better than we can imagine: the millions of miracles all around us speak not only to God’s power but also to his love which equips us to live out the dreams he has given us.

Today Is A Verb
$16.99None of us knows how long we have on this earth. Sometimes, the days seem to pass by with little importance; at other times, we might feel overwhelmed by our experiences, whether they bring us happiness or sorrow. In the end, however, we allow our days and years to march on.
But what if we intentionally view each today as a gift from God? What if we considered today as a verb, an action that we can use right now?
In Today Is a Verb: Open the Gift of Now in Every Ordinary Moment, author Carol McLeod asks us to grab hold of God’s endless gift of time–past, present, and future–and make the most of every moment and every minute. For this gift from God is truly as boundless as the ocean. The act of living can bring us joy if we seek to listen to God, read His Word, and pray for the gifts of the Holy Spirit.
Today Is a Verb can propel us to our destiny, to God’s desire for us. As Carol explains, each moment can be something profound, purposeful, and precious. We can choose each day to pray, to serve, to hope, to trust, to overcome–the possibilities are endless.
Today Is a Verb can be read as a thirty-day devotional or as a way to revolutionize your life. Each chapter includes a life quote, a verse from Scripture, a practical application, and a daily declaration.
“This dimension of godly living…is not for the faint of heart but for all of those who have determined their lives will smack of the atmosphere of heaven,” Carol says.
“If you have been thirsty for a joy that is foreign to your personality and seems to be only a mirage in the desert of life, I hope this scintillating philosophy will stir up what has been lacking in your life,” she says. “Perhaps, with me, you would be brave enough to determine to take at least one vibrant step toward the life for which you have been aching.”

Every Waking Hour
$16.99Do All to the Glory of God
What does it mean for Christians to have a vocation? How may we glorify God through our work? Most people spend the majority of their waking hours at work, but rarely consider how they glorify God through their vocation.
In Every Waking Hour, Benjamin Quinn and Walter R. Strickland II offer a theological framework for understanding the intersection between the Christian life and the various ways we spend our time. “Work” isn’t simply our careers, it’s any way we engage with God’s creation. Doing so helps us develop a more robust understanding, based in Scripture, of how Monday through Friday intersect with Sunday morning.
Christ-followers are not merely chaplains on the job site-we are ministers in God’s world. We are to join our work with Christ’s work of making all things new.

Every Good Thing
$16.99For the Common Good
As Christians, how should we live in this material world? What does the Bible have to say on how we should think about our physical existence? Our perspective on this issue will affect how we conduct ourselves with our families, our workplaces, and our communities. It will shape our relationships, our careers, how we handle our finances, and every other aspect of our lives.
In Every Good Thing, David W. Jones explains why we should be concerned with the material world-for our own good, for the good of our neighbors, and for the glory of God. Scripture frequently speaks about issues such as wealth and poverty, work and rest, and creation and stewardship. Jones argues that the material here-and-now is just as important as the sweet by-and-by. God cares deeply about the material realm, and Jesus’ example was one of engagement with, not detachment from, the physical realm.
This introductory book covers some of the Bible’s most important teachings on these topics, helping Christians better understand how to live in the material world for the common good.

Closer To God
$18.99To experience profound intimacy with God, intentionality is required. The Holy Spirit sanctifies us–shaping us into the likeness of Jesus–but we play a role in enjoying a deeper and more vibrant life in Christ by staying in step with the Spirit.
Perhaps one of the most compelling attributes of this book is the way Cunnion helps you see how repentance and obedience, two words that often get a bad rap, are utterly life-giving and freedom-bringing. Rooted in the gospel, she leads you on a journey of
* practicing repentance that leads to refreshment of your soul
* pursuing holiness that leads to a freedom you never imagined possible
* cultivating intimacy with the Holy Spirit and enjoying the beauty of His presenceWith personal, and often humorous, anecdotes and biblical insights, Closer to God offers a guide to embracing intimacy with God from a place where the hunger for more of God is met through the beauty of obedience, holiness, and unity. You will be ignited with a desire to live a life worthy of the call as you pursue a deeper, transformative relationship with Him.

Living In Wonder
Original price was: $29.99.$24.97Current price is: $24.97.The West has become “disenchanted”–closed to the idea that the universe contains the supernatural, the metaphysical, or the non-material. Christianity is in crisis. People today are leaving the Church because faith has become dry and lifeless. But people aren’t leaving faith for atheism. They are still searching for the divine, and it might just be right under their noses.
In Living in Wonder, thought leader, cultural critic, and New York Times bestselling author Rod Dreher shows you how to encounter and embrace wonder in the world. In his trademark mixture of analysis, reporting, and personal story, Dreher brings together history, cultural anthropology, neuroscience, and the ancient Church to show you–no matter your religious affiliation–how to reconnect with the natural world and the Great Tradition of Christianity so you can relate to the world with more depth and connection.
He shares stories of miracles, rumors of angels, and outbreaks of awe to offer hope, as well as a guide for discerning and defending the truth in a confusing and spiritually dark culture, full of contemporary spiritual deceptions and tempting counterfeit spiritualities.
The world is not what we think it is. It is far more mysterious, exciting, connected, and adventurous. As you learn practical ways to regain a sense of wonder and awaken your sense of God’s presence–through prayer, attention, and living by spiritual disciplines–your eyes will be opened, and you will find the very thing every one of us searches for: our ultimate meaning.

Thirsting : Quenching Our Soul’s Deepest Desire
$19.99What if the longing we feel is a sign of God’s longing for us? Thirsting is a deeply spiritual exploration of a life-changing truth: only when we learn to live in the ache of our thirst instead of running from it will we know the joy of receiving God in every part of our lives.
We may be able to imagine God saving us, using us, and even loving us–but wanting us? Pursuing us? Longing for us? And yet, as spiritual director Strahan Coleman teaches, God’s greatest desire is to commune with us in the depths of our souls.
In Thirsting, Strahan eloquently guides us to:
*Acknowledge the God-given thirst within us so we can offer it to God in all its depth
*Learn to open up our pain to God so we can experience Him in the midst of our aching
*Allow God’s desire for us to open up a whole new experience of communionYou thirst because you are thirsted for. Take a rich, vulnerable journey toward an inner knowing with God as you step over shame, receive His love, and drink Him deeply. The very journey you were made for.

God Has A Name
Original price was: $25.99.$20.97Current price is: $20.97.What you believe about God sets the foundation of the person you will become.
In God Has a Name, pastor and New York Times bestselling author John Mark Comer invites you to rethink many of the prevalent myths and misconceptions about God and weigh them against what God actually tells us about himself. After all, what you believe about God will ultimately shape the type of person you become.
We all live at the mercy of our ideas, and nowhere is this more true than our ideas about God. The problem is many of our ideas about God are wrong. Not all wrong, but wrong enough to form our souls in detrimental and disheartening ways.
God Has a Name is a simple yet profound guide to understanding God in a new light–focusing on what God says about himself in the Bible. This one shift has the potential to radically alter how you relate to God, not as a doctrine, but as a relational being who responds to you in an elastic, back-and-forth way.
John Mark Comer takes you line by line through Exodus 34:6-8–Yahweh’s self-revelation on Mount Sinai, one of the most quoted passages in the Bible. Along the way, Comer addresses some of the most profound questions he came across as he studied these noted lines in Exodus, including:
*Why do we feel this gap between us and God?
*Could it be that a lot of what we think about God is wrong? Not all wrong, but wrong enough to mess up how we relate to him?
*What if our “God” is really a projection of our own identity, ideas, and desires?
*What if the real God is different, but far better than we could ever imagine?
No matter where you are in your spiritual journey, God Has a Name invites you to step into a fresh and biblically rooted vision of who God is that has the potential to alter your life with God and shape who you become.

Let’s face it… it’s not easy to go from “How is the weather” to “Jesus died for you,” and no one is walking up to us on the street asking, “What must I do to be saved?” So what’s a well-intentioned Christian to do?
Enter Living Out Loud.
Living out loud is not a strategy for sharing the gospel, but a way of living that begets the gospel. It’s about developing an active, natural posture of loving God and talking about Him as we go about our daily lives and rhythms in ways that are obvious to those around us.
It’s about making God such an integral part of our daily lives that we can’t help but talk about Him–at home, at work, with family and with friends–not as a sales pitch, but as a natural part of our regular conversations.
Living out loud isn’t about “sharing” the gospel; it’s about “living” it. When who we are as new creatures becomes obvious to those around us in the way we speak and live, and love, evangelism stops becoming a duty, and simply becomes inevitable.
In Living Out Loud, you’ll discover:
*How to bring a refreshing countercultural presence in one relationship and one conversation at a time
*How to demonstrate our beliefs to unbelievers in our daily lives and habits
*How to spiritually engage others in a way that feels natural
It’s time for a new approach to evangelism. Let Living Out Loud show you the way to communicate and truly embody the message of the gospel.

Invisible Jesus : A Book About Leaving The Church And Looking For Christ
$22.99In recent years, we’ve seen an increase in the number of Christians who are deconstructing their faith, critically analyzing Christianity and finding that it falls short. Many end up leaving behind the beliefs and commitments they formerly held. While many have written on how to reverse this trend, Scot McKnight and Tommy Preson Phillips believe that rather than dismissing these concerns we need to listen more carefully.
Deconstructors are uncovering serious weaknesses in today’s church–a renewed fundamentalism, toxic leadership, and legalistic thinking among them. Utilizing the results of recent studies by Pew, Gallup, and others, McKnight and Phillips take a careful look at what deconstructors are really saying, seeking to better understand why many are shedding elements of the faith and church of their youth but also engaging in a reconstruction process, finding Jesus afresh. They are losing their religion, but not losing Jesus.
Filled with stories of those who have walked the path of deconstruction without losing their faith, Invisible Jesus is a prophetic call to examine ourselves and discern if the faith we practice and the church we belong to is really representative of the Jesus we follow. Each chapter looks at a different topic and offers biblical reflections that call for us to not only better listen, but to change how we live out our faith as followers of Jesus today.

Healing Whats Within
$18.99We can’t always control what happens to us. But we can discover how to heal the hidden hurt it leaves behind.
If you’re like many of us, you carry a weight of buried pain. Despite looking put together on the outside, you feel secretly fractured within. While you appear strong and resilient on the outside, inside a storm brews of all the ways you’ve been hurt or harmed. There’s a constant churn of unprocessed feelings of shame, anger, grief, or loneliness. And your body tells the story of its struggles in a myriad of aches and ailments. Little by little, you find yourself becoming disconnected from who you truly are. Not knowing what to do with your suffering and fearing you’ll be hurt again, you’ve learned to cope, to numb and suppress the ache within.
It doesn’t have to be this way. In Healing What’s Within, therapist and professor Chuck DeGroat invites you on a compassionate journey inward to return and retune to the life God created you to live. Along the way, you will discover how to:
*Gently consider and confront what’s keeping you stuck and blocking the path to joy and flourishing
*Better understand the relationship between your body and your emotions
*Experience God as a compassionate witness to your trauma-and his unconditional kindness to wherever you find yourself
*Discover real rest and renewal as you reconnect with God, others, and yourself.
It’s never too late to start healing. God’s heart is always ready to help you find your way Home.

$29.99New York Times bestselling author Lysa TerKeurst shows you what to do with your skepticism and distrust so you can heal from past betrayals and move forward with strength and resilience.
Trust is the oxygen of all human relationships. But it’s also what trips you up after you’ve been burned. Maybe a friend constantly lets you down. A leader or organization you respect turns out to be different than they portray themselves to be. A spouse cheats on you. A family member betrays you. You’re exhausted by other people’s choices and starting to question your own discernment. And you’re wondering, If God let this happen, can he even be trusted?
How can you live well and step into the future when you keep stumbling over trust issues? Lysa TerKeurst says it’s not simply about finding better people to walk with. It’s about developing the stability you long for within yourself and with God, so you don’t become cynical and carry a broken belief system into every new relationship. In I Want to Trust You, But I Don’t, Lysa shows you how to:
*identify which of the eleven relational red flags are stirring up distrust, so you can pinpoint why you’re feeling uneasy;
*stop having more faith in your fears coming true than God coming through for you by asking crucial what if questions to better process your doubts;
*recognize when a fractured relationship can be repaired by considering a reasonable list of characteristics necessary for rebuilding trust; and
*understand the physical, emotional, and neurological impact of the betrayals you’ve experienced and start healing from the inside out.
In a world where so many things feel alarming, this book will give you a peace that isn’t dependent on unpredictable people, circumstances, and experiences. Instead, it offers practical and biblical ways to make real progress toward healthier perspectives, relationships, and a future you can authentically look forward to.

Learning To Be Loved
$19.99Are you feeling spiritually stuck? Release that frustration and discover a more natural way to relate to God in this biblically grounded, transformative book about how our passionate and creative God offers us gateways–that are already in our lives–to draw us closer to him.
What if intimacy with God doesn’t begin with us knocking at God’s door but with God knocking down ours? In Learning to Be Loved, author and Spoken Gospel CEO David Bowden and Hobby Lobby’s Mart Green remind us that spiritual growth starts not with our giving but with our receiving.
This unique and freeing invitation to respond to God’s initiative explores:
*Common misconceptions that can hold back our spiritual growth
*Practical “doors”–such as dreams, wounds, and generosity–that are already in your life as ways for you to organically connect with God according to how he has made you
*A vision of the Christian life that isn’t about doing the right things but learning how receiving God’s love moves us toward the right things
*Practices to help you partner with God in living your own spiritual story rather than always comparing yourself to other people
Combining David’s careful study and poetic voice with Mart’s decades of wisdom about the simplicity of a life lived toward God, Learning to Be Loved unites biblical rigor and personal experience to show that intimacy with God isn’t based on our ability to connect with him–but on all the ways he is constantly connecting with us.

Run Over By The Grace Train
$28.00Grace is at the center of the Christian faith, and yet it’s so often misunderstood, abused, and misrepresented. This book explores what happens when the incomparable power of God’s grace meets our deepest needs.
Grace is one of the most important concepts in Christianity, and it’s also one of the most misunderstood, misapplied, and most abused. Run Over By the Grace Train explores the topic of grace: what it is, how we receive it, and how it changes absolutely everything about us. In this deep, spiritually rich book, Joby Martin offers nine key lessons central to understanding God’s grace as the central theme of the Christian life. Joby helps readers dig deep into scripture and understand that we are saved by grace alone, grace can’t be lost, grace does not condemn, and the sinner and the saint both need God’s powerful grace in equal measures.
Deep, rich, and life-changing, this book written in Joby’s characteristic straight-talk, wry style that entertains as it teaches. Run Over by the Grace Train is an ultimately encouraging, inspiring, and fulfilling look at the power of God’s grace.

Rediscovering Christmas : A Twelve-Day Journey To The Manger
$19.99Year after year, countless believers immerse themselves in the story of the first Christmas, rehearsing the well-known tale of the baby King who was born into the humblest of circumstances. But for some, the nativity story has become so familiar, it has been robbed of its power.

There’s a star and a manger and more angels than you can count-it can be hard to keep it all straight!
Rediscovering Christmas is a modern paraphrase of the Christmas story, drawn directly from the Gospels and created to help readers see the Father’s heart in details that are all-too-often overlooked. The result is a seamless retelling of Jesus’s birth that will fascinate new and mature believers alike. Also included are twelve devotional essays that invite readers to step into the first Christmas story as if they were there, going deeper into cultural contexts that will help them discover the goodness of God in fresh and surprising ways. This beautiful, hardcover volume is perfect for quiet times, group study, or family reading, and is sure to become a favorite holiday tradition.

And yet, she maintains a deep love for the body of Christ and a strong desire to see God’s vision for the church flourish. In Being a Sanctuary, she offers a hopeful path forward.

She unpacks practical steps the body of Christ can take to realize this vision and cultivate a lifestyle of being a sanctuary, including repentance, sanctification, showing Christ’s compassion, healing injustices, and being advocates.
Be ready to take the first step to guide the church back to its foundational call to be a sacred, soft, and safe place for all people–and discover how to live in the radical way of Jesus.

What About Me
$29.00Experience the true satisfaction and power of living unselfishly with #1 New York Times bestselling author and renowned Bible teacher Joyce Meyer.
As we go about our daily lives, there is a little voice in our minds that’s always asking, “What about me?” Maybe your voice says, “When is it my turn to be noticed at work?” or “When will someone in this family do something for me?” That voice may be whispering to you about your finances, your job, or your friends, but it is always encouraging you to think about something you don’t have. And sadly, social media and culture in general lead us to focus on this world’s concept of happiness and success-but does it work?
Could you be sabotaging your own joy, your purpose, your success? What could you do to get out of your own way? And most importantly, what is God’s definition of success? The Bible tells us over and over that the true source of meaning and happiness is a life focused on God and on serving others. Instead of asking when it will be our turn to get a raise, be recognized, or finally make it big, it’s time to discover the source of true and lasting of happiness and satisfaction.
By walking in this path, we will have more joy and a closer relationship with God than we could ever imagine!

Still Standing : Following Jesus Even When It Hurts
$15.99Faithfully walking–and uncovering joy–on a road paved with suffering.
The Christian life is marked with great suffering. We live in a fallen and broken world full of disappointments and the loss of dreams. And there is a cost to following Christ–often painfully felt in close relationships.
In her book, Still Standing Lina AbuJamra shares how God’s refining process makes Him bigger in our hearts and transforms us into people who are like Him. Our pain can lead to despair and bitterness, or it can make us more like Jesus. But we must be willing to undergo the refining process–and this hurts.
Lina shows us the truly amazing and beautiful reality that we can have joy amidst the most difficult of circumstances. Without denying the real pain many of us carry, Lina shows Christians how to rediscover joy. She shows us how God’s presence is our guarantee for joy no matter what we’re going through. Lina looks to current and biblical stories to show us how refined people can be used by God to persevere and build His kingdom.
I love talking about God’s radical calling of His children and what it means to follow Jesus wholeheartedly, especially when it hurts. If there is one thing that continues to surprise me as I follow Jesus, it’s the difficulty of the journey, the unexpected delays, the detours, the disappointments, and the waiting. Despite what I know about God, I still catch myself taken aback by the amount of suffering endured in the pursuit of one’s calling. It is my hope that this book inspires hope in the hearts of followers of Jesus who have encountered suffering as they have pursued obedience to Christ.
Still Standing is an updated edition, previously published with the title Stripped.

Un Failing : Stumbling Our Way Into God’s Unlimited Goodness
$17.99No one wants to talk about failure, but we all miss the mark from time to time. Even our biblical heroes like Noah, Abraham, and Moses did things they shouldn’t have done. But when we mess up or our circumstances seem dire, God steps in to make things right. That’s the beauty of an unfailing God, One who is with us every step of the way.
*The Bible is full of struggle, failure, and denying God-Noah’s drunkenness, Moses’s temper, David’s sins of lust and murder. But God…
*Ever since the garden of Eden, listening to the right voices has been critical when it comes to turning our troubles into future blessings.
*While failure may feel like losing, un-failing is finding the courage to hand over our dreams, goals, and plans to God and following through.
In Un-failing: Stumbling Our Way into God’s Unlimited Goodness, authors Shane Stanford and Anthony Thaxton explain how viewing failure as an opportunity for spiritual growth can help us through experiences and seasons when we seem to have lost our way.
From God’s perspective, knowing that free will means we won’t always do things His way, failure provides an opportunity for us to turn to Him. No matter what we do, His love is unfailing, and He makes all things work together for our good.

Enjoying Jesus : Experience The Presence And Kindness Of The Son Of God In
$16.99We know Jesus has saved us. We know we need to trust him. But too often there’s little sense of a lived experience of him–of enjoying him and being a joy to him, of loving him and being loved by him, of interacting with him as we walk through each day.
In Enjoying Jesus, Tim Chester explores how Jesus acted and interacted with people in Luke’s Gospel and how, through his Spirit, we can experience the joy of Jesus’ presence and companionship in our day-to-day lives.
This book is ideal for anyone wanting to deepen their relationship with Jesus, especially those who feel disconnected from God or those going through the motions of the Christian life without joy. It will also help new Christians who want to understand how Jesus is with them by his Spirit.
Each chapter includes reflection questions and practical suggestions on how to experience a close, joyful relationship with Jesus. The accompanying discussion guide makes this a useful resource for small groups.
