Balancing The Christian Life
$16.99

Genuine and wholesome spirituality is the goal of all Christian living. It sounds so simple, doesn’t it?

Perhaps the principle may be, but living by the principle is another matter altogether. In Balancing the Christian Life, Charles Ryrie reminds you that “the Bible must be the guide and test for all our experiences in the spiritual life . . . and if any experience fails to pass that test, it must be discarded.” He warns that “an unbalanced application of the doctrines related to spirituality will result in an unbalanced Christian life.”

Ryrie examines numerous key issues of spirituality, including:

*The old and the new life
*Sanctification
*Using your gifts
*Routine faithfulness
*Wiles of the devil
*Temptation
*Confession
*Forgiveness

For more than forty years, Balancing the Christian Life has been changing lives worldwide. Take time to read this classic study and allow it to change yours.

Includes a 32-page study guide.

Unhurried : An Invitation To Slow Down, Create Margin, And Surrender Contro
$15.99

Experience the joy of slowing down, creating margin, and surrendering control to God.

Samantha Decker lived a hurried life. Swimming in chaos with a never-ending to-do list, she experienced the fatigue and desperation of rushing from one thing to another. But, amidst her chaos and fruitless efforts to do and be everything, the Lord gently met her. He invited her to slow down and experience His created design for rest.

In Unhurried, we will explore our busy, hurried lives and discover how we can experience the joy of slowing down. We will learn more about margin–what is it, how did Jesus create it, and how can we follow Him? Through the Lord’s guidance and grace, Samantha also shows us how to make time for eternal realities.

*Are your days marked by busyness, striving, and planning?
*Does rest feel unattainable?
*Do you regularly describe yourself as “busy”?

This book is an invitation to rest, create space, and join God in the work He’s doing.

This is the story of a God who knows how to rest. A God who has everything under control. A God who gave His only Son to save us from our sins and the bondage they bring. In Christ, there is freedom from striving, busyness, and hurry. Are you ready to take off these weights and follow Jesus?

Instrument Of Peace
$14.99

Lord, Make Me an Instrument of Thy Peace.

Thus begins the beloved prayer of the Italian friar Saint Francis of Assisi, which well expresses his sentiments as a preacher of peace, love, and unity.

Author and anti-apartheid activist Alan Paton drew upon the Prayer of Saint Francis to write Instrument of Peace (originally titled Instrument of Thy Peace) while his wife Dorrie lay dying of emphysema.

Among many others, Paton said he wrote this book for those:

*Who wish with all their hearts to be better, purer, less selfish, more useful

*Who do not wish to be cold in love, and who know that being cold in love is perhaps the worst sin of them all

*Who wish to keep their faith bright and burning in a dark and faithless world

*Who seek not so much to lean on God as to be the active instrument of His peace

“Sometimes we cannot pray because we are fallen into a melancholy and therefore have for the time lost our hope and our faith and have no one to pray to,” Paton wrote. “I am in unrepayable debt to Francis of Assisi, for when I pray his prayer, or even remember it, my melancholy is dispelled, my self-pity comes to an end, my faith is restored, because of this majestic conception of what the work of a disciple should be.”

Slow Burn : The Work And Wonder Of The Wait
$19.99

Waiting isn’t a season. Waiting is life. The question is, Will you live in the wait?

We don’t ever graduate from waiting. After one prayer is answered, a new one begins, putting us back in the “space between.” Are you hoping for an illness to subside, a job to open up, a relationship to develop, or some other heartfelt transformation? This slow burn is the human experience–and the greatest invitation to become intimately acquainted with a faithful God.

Waiting is hard, but it’s not a punishment; it’s a process. God is not delaying; He’s developing. He is not leaving you; He’s loving you. He’s saying, Come closer. Let me lead you into wonder and show you how you can live wholeheartedly right here, right now.

DawnChere Wilkerson will speak strength to your soul and give you tools to:

*live confident that God is working more powerfully than you know;
*wrestle with the question, What if what I hope for doesn’t happen?;
*find the purpose and life-giving moments he has for you now; and
*view all of life as a joyful, soul-deepening, intimacy-building wait.

More strength, expectation, and patience are within your reach, even amid uncertainty and suffering. Lean into the work of the wait–the constant, steady, slow burn of faith and surrender to your ultimate source. And you’ll discover the wonder of the wait–glimpses of heaven, a perfect love that changes you, and each step celebrated along the way.

Jesus Shaped Life
Original price was: $26.99.Current price is: $21.97.

When many of us hear the word theology, we conjure up visions of stuffy old guys in dark clothing, scratching a pen across paper (or maybe a quill across parchment!) and assume that it’s not for us. But at its most basic, theology is just words ( logos) about God ( theos). Conversations, if you will, about the most important part of our lives–our good, loving, and grace-filled God.

With her signature style and humor, bestselling Bible teacher Lisa Harper invites you into this life-changing conversation. She makes theology fun, practical, and applicable, explaining how academic-sounding concepts–such as imago Dei, atonement, the Trinity, the transcendence and immanence of Christ, and much more–are actually daily realities that make an enormous difference in how we live our lives, how we treat other people, and how we understand our own relationship to our Creator.

If you want to grow closer to God and take a more active role in your community of faith, it’s time to take your understanding of God to the next level with sound theology rooted in Scripture. Let Lisa be your (very entertaining) guide!

Teachable Spirit : The Virtue Of Learning From Strangers, Enemies, And Abso
$26.99

Being a know-it-all isn’t a fruit of the Spirit. But the ancient call of Jesus beckons us to “love the Lord your God with all your heart, mind, soul, and strength” (Matt. 22:37). How do we love God with our mind? In A Teachable Spirit, A.J. Swoboda helps followers of Jesus develop the discipline of teachability.

In a world marked by distraction, mind-numbing entertainment, endless content, polarization, and a decreasing desire to humbly learn from those we dislike, the way we engage sources of information like news media, science, and social media content could not be more important. Thankfully, the Christian faith provides sharp tools and rich traditions for learning how to be the best learners. By drawing on his experiences as a professor, theologian, and lay pastor, Swoboda explores the potency of seeing learning as a part of one’s spiritual formation to Jesus.

With the right posture, Christians can learn from even the most unexpected places.

Secure : How To Have A Healthy Attachment To God
$6.99

Having a strong, healthy relationship with God is foundational to enjoying every aspect of life. In Kenza Haddock’s work as a trauma and pastoral counselor, she discovered that her clients’ anxiety, depression, and other mental health disorders were often the result of a distorted view of God’s character. They had developed an insecure attachment to God.

In clinical psychology, attachment theory focuses on how the emotional bonds we form in childhood influence how we approach our relationships with others. Secure takes a look at how this theory applies to our relationship with God. When God created us, he intended that he would be our primary attachment above all else. It is only after we have established a secure relationship with him that we can cultivate healthy relationships with others.

In this book, readers will learn to recognize the signs of an unhealthy attachment with God. As they study foundational truths about God and their identity in Christ, they will gain essential tools for maintaining a secure attachment with God. The outcome will be a life characterized by hope, healing, and fulfilling relationships.

Holding The Word
$15.99

Watch the Bible come alive in your life like never before.

Many Christians long for a deeper, more meaningful relationship with God’s Word–but engaging on our own with the Scriptures can be intimidating. We rely on the writings of others to help us understand what it says, or we read simply to gain information without allowing it to personally touch our lives. But the Bible is a living, breathing, life-changing book, and God wants you to have a first-hand encounter with Him through its pages.

In Holding the Word, Bill Mowry offers good news: you don’t need a theological education to engage with Scripture. Mowry unpacks five spiritual practices–hearing, reading, studying, memorizing, and meditating–that will help you personally encounter God every time you open your Bible. This multi-sensory, relationally-rich Bible reading and discipleship tool will transform your relationship with the Author of Scripture.

*Discover a whole-body experience of the Bible using your senses,

*Learn from contemporary teaching and brain theory on why relational connection is so important for your walk with God,

*Develop a lifestyle of integrating the Bible into every aspect of your daily life, leading to personal transformation and spiritual growth and maturity.

Let God’s Word saturate every aspect of your being. Immerse yourself in the timeless truths of the Bible and discover the abundant life that comes from living and loving God’s Word.
