Thirsting : Quenching Our Soul’s Deepest Desire
$19.99

What 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 communion

You 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.

Living Out Loud
$17.99

If you cringe at the thought of pulling out a napkin and drawing a chasm that only the cross can span, you’re in good company.

While most of us have the desire to share the gospel, we don’t know how to bring it up. 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.

Entrusted To Lead
$18.99

A practical tool for women who are called to leadership roles in any area of life, Entrusted to Lead offers biblical insight and real-life encouragement for how to navigate their leadership journey.

In Entrusted to Lead, Pastor Donna Pisani draws on over four decades of experience to offer a biblical perspective of women in leadership that considers their role an entrusted assignment rather than just an entitled position. Women who wrestle with God’s call to lead, or who don’t have anyone supporting their call, will discover how to:

*Embrace their God-given, unique leadership gifts
*Become alert to the internal lies that make them hesitant to pursue their calling
*Answer Jesus’ mandate to women to “go tell”-even when no one seems to be listening
*Understand how Paul empowered both genders to lead and serve together
*Lean into Jesus’ strength when facing leadership challenges

Generations of confusion keep women from answering God’s call to lead, depriving God’s kingdom of crucial gifts and abilities. Entrusted to Lead shows women what it looks like to lead with confidence in the workplace and in ministry-and why Jesus always wanted women to have a seat at the table.

Healing Whats Within
$18.99

We 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.

*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;

Run Over By The Grace Train
$28.00

Grace 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
$19.99

Year 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. For others, the biblical narrative is more like a puzzle: the pieces are all there, but it’s not clear how they all fit together. Luke talks about shepherds and a census, while Matthew deals with wise men and an escape to Egypt. 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.
