Power Of Being A Woman (Expanded)
$16.99Modern relationships are in trouble. It’s almost as if we’re all acting in a play, but we’ve forgotten our lines and the stage directions. Whether we think we’re in a drama or a rom-com, we’ve stepped on each other’s toes so much that when the curtain falls, we limp off to our dressing rooms.
It doesn’t have to be this way.
With her unique sister-to-sister voice, Michelle McKinney Hammond calls us back to the stage to discuss The Power of Being a Woman: Owning Your God-Given Gift of Influence.
“Being a feminine woman is not synonymous with being a weak woman,” Michelle notes.
“Femininity is not casting coy looks out from behind a fan. It is not wearing little lace gloves, or swooning in the face of the slightest indiscretion. It is an inner quality that emanates from a woman who knows her calling and her value.”
God has uniquely given women special gifts, including intuition, empathy, and even vulnerability. Michelle helps readers discover how to use these aspects of femininity to be successful in every sphere of influence.

– find permission to lament, ask questions, and name pressure points
– make peace as you set your own new boundaries and rebuildConsider this your open invitation to get gut-level honest about where it started, and heart-level hopeful about where it can go from here.

Songs Of The Son
$19.99Theological and Devotional Reading of the Psalms through a New Testament Lens

But this Old Testament book is more than just relatable poetry–it reveals a rich theology of God, the nature and work of Jesus, and Christ’s voice hidden in Scripture.

Heart Of The Preacher
$18.99“Keep a close watch on yourself and on the teaching.” –1 Timothy 4:16
*Understand the greatest threats to your preaching
*Identify common tests of your character
*Learn gospel-based habits that guard your heartPreachers cannot separate themselves from their preaching. Every time a preacher proclaims the word, something of themselves is also delivered to the congregation–for better or worse.
In The Heart of the Preacher, Rick Reed draws from over three decades of preaching experience to emphasize how preachers must prepare their hearts before they are ready to preach. Sermon preparation involves more than mere technical steps. Preachers are people. Exhaustion, discouragement, insecurity, and more threaten a preacher’s character, and thus their preaching. Reed equips pastors with practices and habits to face these threats. Preachers must guard their lives so that their teaching will be accompanied by the fruit of the Spirit.

Body God Gives
$34.99What is the relationship between sex and gender?
*Understand society’s shifts in thinking and talking about sex and gender
*Discover how biological sex guides gender
*Recognize how the Bible speaks to gender and transgender
*Respond to affirming interpretations of Scripture
*Answer gender confusion with clarity and compassionIn The Body God Gives: A Biblical Response to Transgender Theory, Robert S. Smith argues that God intends a person’s gender to be grounded in the reality of his or her biological sex–the body God has given. In making his case, Smith critiques the central claim of transgender theory: that the sexed body does not determine the gendered self. He also evaluates contemporary changes in thought and speech about sex and gender, responding to modern confusion with biblical conviction and compassion. God speaks clearly, both in his word and in his world.

*Challenge the lie that you must earn God’s love
*Reflect on God’s love with study questions for each chapter
*Find comfort in God’s love for you in JesusThere is good news: you can’t earn God’s love. Whatever you have done or whatever has been done to you–none of it qualifies or disqualifies you from God’s love.

*Hosea and Gomer
*Sarah and Abraham
*Hagar and Photine (the woman at the well)
*Tamar and Judah
*Naomi, Ruth, and Boaz
*Bathsheba and David
*Mary and JosephThese women and men suffered and failed and were often maligned. And yet they were also loved by God.

And he calls you his beloved.

Christians In The Crosshairs
$18.97In 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
$18.99Jesus 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.

What If Jesus Was Serious About Justice
$18.99If God is love, then how do we make sense of the evil we see everywhere in the world?
In What If Jesus Was Serious about Justice?, Skye Jethani explores what the Bible really says about God’s restorative justice and how he punishes evil and rewards good. 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.
Jethani examines the biblical understanding of justice as the restoration of right relationships both among people and between people and God. He considers themes of judgment and mercy in Jesus’s ministry and explains Jesus’s warnings about God’s final judgment of those opposed to his kingdom of justice.
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.

Easter : The Season Of The Resurrection Of Jesus

Each volume in the Fullness of Time series invites readers to engage with the riches of the church year, exploring the traditions, prayers, Scriptures, and rituals of the seasons of the church calendar.
