Christians In The Crosshairs
$18.97

In Christians in the Crosshairs, Gregory C. Cochran provides an insightful and (surprisingly) encouraging biblical explanation as to why trouble and persecution are inevitable for Christians. Since they are a peculiar people, are in the world but not of the world, and follow a Master who is offensive to many, Christians are naturally the objects of disdain and hostility. Understanding the nature of the enmity between the world and the Christian is critical for living in a world where Satan is its prince. The book is an attempt to start a conversation about the reality of Christian persecution. It is a wake-up call to the modern church, especially in the United States. “My hope for all who read this volume,” writes the author, “is a strengthened faith. One of the most surprising aspects of studying persecution has been its effect on me. I thought I would feel woeful and defeated after hearing of such great suffering. However, the opposite is true. The Gospel, with its resurrection power, is able to take the worst situations and reframe them in victory. Hearing stories of triumph through suffering has been nothing short of glorious.”

When Culture Hates You
$18.99

Jesus Warned the World Would Hate Christians

“If the world hates you, know that it has hated me before it hated you” (John 15:18).

As cultural hostility toward Christianity intensifies, many Christians have grown more reluctant to advocate for biblical values in the public square. But our perseverance for the common good–a good defined by God alone–is more important than ever in a culture that embraces darkness.

When Culture Hates You is a call for Christians to unashamedly pursue righteousness in society out of our love for others. In this timely resource, author Natasha Crain will help you:

*make sense of cultural hostility by better understanding the roots of secular outrage on issues like Christian nationalism, social justice, abortion, transgenderism, and sexuality

*advocate for the godly functioning of society with greater biblical, cultural, and civic understanding

*take concrete action for the common good with more than 35 practical ideas to get you started

As Christians, our calling is to speak truth in the face of hostility. Not because we want to “war” with culture but because we love both God and others.

Victorious Forever : Revelation
$14.99

A Call to Stay Faithful

Life as a Christian is not easy. Pressures mount, suffering persists, and the temptation to give up feels stronger than ever. The early Christians in the Roman Empire knew this all too well. Their struggles mirror our own, and the message given to them in Revelation is just as powerful today: stay faithful, and you will be victorious forever.

Matt Proctor, a seasoned preacher of the Bible and well-respected college president, unpacks the profound truths of Revelation in Victorious Forever, the second book of the Everyday Exposition Series from OCC Press. Drawing from years of teaching and pastoral experience, Proctor illuminates the practical and spiritual lessons found in John’s challenging vision, offering insights that encourage steadfastness in faith.

Each of the twelve chapters includes discussion questions designed to deepen your understanding, whether you’re reading alone or with a group. When life feels overwhelming, the truths of Revelation provide strength, hope, and a reminder: the victory is already won.

The Everyday Exposition series by OCC Press offers books that guide readers through the Bible book by book and are great for personal or small group study. While not traditional commentaries, these concise books are faithful to the text of the Bible, highly readable, and applicable to every believer.

If God is love, then how do we make sense of the evil we see everywhere in the world?

The fifth in Jethani’s popular What If Jesus Was Serious? series, this guide includes the author’s hand-drawn illustrations in each accessible chapter.

Readers will emerge with a better understanding of God’s love, wrath, the cross, eternity, and more. In addition, Christians will find new ways to bridge the divide in the church over the importance of personal salvation and communal justice.

Steadfast Love Of The Lord
$21.99

A Clear, Biblical Picture of God’s Unconditional Love for His Children

Many believers know that “God is love.” But whether through cultural lies, false beliefs, or years of mulling over the tragedies of the world, it may be difficult to see the true, steadfast, and unchanging love of the Father. Thankfully the Bible offers a clear picture of what God’s love looks like and how, through the ministry of the Holy Spirit, believers experience his affection for themselves.

Taking an accessible approach to biblical theology, author Sam Storms explores Scripture to address what God’s love is and what it isn’t. Drawing insights from the Psalms and the life of Jesus, Storms covers God’s sovereignty and the saving power, longevity, and sin-killing nature of his love. The Steadfast Love of the Lord breaks down obstacles that prevent believers from accepting biblical truths and challenges the cultural lies that hinder them from accepting God’s vast and unfathomable love.

*Accessible: An introductory approach to biblical theology, this book is perfect for laypeople and thoughtful Christians

*Practical: Not only helps believers study the nature of God but helps them experience his affection for themselves

*Honest: From a biblical perspective, this book addresses the cultural lies of our age to explain what love is and what it isn’t

Hole In Our Gospel Revised And Updated Content Facts And Photos
$22.99

Richard Stearns shows that the Bible boldly speaks that there is no “whole gospel” without compassion and justice shown to the poor. With more than 260,000 copies sold, The Hole in Our Gospel continues to impact readers worldwide, and this new edition includes updated statistics, photos, and a foreword from the current World Vision president.

Is our faith only about going to church, studying the Bible, and avoiding the most serious sins? Or does God expect more? Have we embraced the whole gospel or a gospel with a hole in it?

More than twenty years ago, Rich Stearns came face-to-face with that question as he sat in a mud hut in Rakai, Uganda, listening to the heartbreaking story of an orphaned child. Stearns’s journey took much more than a long flight to Africa. It took answering God’s call on his life, a call that tore him out of his corner office at one of America’s most prestigious corporations, to walk with the poorest of the poor in our world.

Stearns’s compelling story demonstrates that the whole gospel was always meant to be a world-changing social revolution, a revolution that begins with each one of us. With more than 260,000 copies sold, this revised and updated edition will be part of World Vision’s 75th anniversary.
