Desperate Woman Seeks Friends
$19.99

If you’ve ever been tempted to put a sign in your front yard advertising for new friends, scream or sob in frustration over a “friend’s” hot and cold behavior, or cringe at the memory of awkward friendship encounters, you can trust Kristen Strong’s decades of experience at regularly relocating and remaking friends to provide both solid hope and practical direction to try again to find the friends you need.

In Desperate Woman Seeks Friends, Kristen Strong offers her two decades of experience as a regularly relocating military spouse and one decade as a settled civilian to address head on the crisis facing women today in startling numbers: an acute loneliness and isolation due to a lack of friends and community.

Often, social media will give a band-aid for loneliness, but looking to social media to be your only source of friendship is like relying on breadcrumbs as a steady diet for dinner: it won’t nourish or satisfy. Unless some of those online connections turn into real-life ones, they’re no substitute for in-person friendships.

Research shows friends are as important for our overall welfare as healthy eating habits and a good night’s sleep, and Kristen gives you a game plan for getting your friendship groove back. Chapters include:

*Boundaries are our friends and our friends’ friends
*What you can expect will kill friendships
*I love my friend to pieces, but I don’t love her views on ____________
*When a friendship ends without your say-so
*Rejection sucks, but don’t let it suck you down
*Your top-notch tool for building your friendships
*Making friends by opening up
*Your Friend who never fails in friendships

It’s not just you. Making friends is hard! But it’s not impossible. Through tell-it-like-it-is talk and vulnerable stories, Kristen wants to help you be a good friend to others and to yourself through principles and practices that give life to your friendships. And she wants to show you that while friends may fail you, your Friend Jesus never will. You’re meant to have lasting friendships that feed your heart and soul–you are not the exception.

Raising Disciples At Home
$19.99

Discipleship Without All the Pressure

If discipling your children sounds like a daunting, shame-filled impossibility, you’re not alone. As a children’s pastor and father of four, Chris Ammen has experienced your frustration firsthand and understands that most parents feel inadequate for the task. But what if our inadequacy isn’t a failure, but is just the place from which God chooses to work?

In his debut book, Chris celebrates the freedom we have to disciple our children from a place of weakness and dependency on God while uncovering these key truths . . .

Truth #1: You are not the lynchpin of your child’s journey of discipleship. God is.

Truth #2: Discipleship is nothing less than God molding and shaping the entirety of our personhood into his image as those who delight in him and bring him glory.

Truth #3: You’re not qualified to disciple your children. But God is. And he can work through you to move your children closer to becoming more like his son, Jesus.
Let’s explore together what discipleship is and isn’t and what we can do to partner with God in loving and discipling our kids.

Standing Strong In The Anointing
$18.99

How Do We Handle Supernatural Power?

God desires to anoint His people with supernatural power, and He invites us to encounter Him in deep ways.

Yet the reality is that we might walk in the anointing with signs and wonders following-and even see lasting fruit for the kingdom of God-but not be walking in personal integrity and godliness. This may be equally true of someone in full-time ministry and an individual believer who receives supernatural encounters.

How does God want us to think about all this?

After experiencing numerous moves of the Spirit and seeing many tragic casualties in the church, Dr. James Goll has written Standing Strong in the Anointing to help us understand the biblical nature of the anointing, interpret the various ways of the Holy Spirit, and walk wisely as we experience divine encounters. You will learn how to:

*Cooperate with the Holy Spirit to increase the anointing in your life
*Unlock supernatural encounters
*Recognize the deception and temptations that can undermine the anointing
*Safeguard your faith so you can finish strong

Supernatural experiences are exciting, but they also can be diverse and complex, and we must understand how to respond to them and the power we receive through them. James shows you how to walk in the anointing and experience supernatural encounters and still remain fully grounded in Christ-avoiding the pitfalls that have caused so many others to fall into error.

The ultimate goal of any supernatural encounter is to reveal Jesus. He is our great reward, and He is also able to keep us from stumbling as we discern the traps and embrace the blessings of supernatural encounters.

Language Of Rivers And Stars
$14.99

Experience God and the gift of his creation in a deeper way as you use God’s word to understand what he is saying to us through his world.

For many of us, being in the great outdoors surrounded by the beauty of nature helps us to feel peaceful and connected to God.

As we view the plants, the animals, the skies, the earth, the seas, and everything else God has created through the lens of his word, we will experience heartfelt joy as we worship him for who he is and what he has made.

So take the time to slow down and enjoy the gift of God’s world as you interpret it through the gift of God’s word. These reflections can be used devotionally.

Pastors Wife
$18.99

With her husband’s whereabouts and condition still unknown, Sabina was soon arrested because of her faith and Christian witness. In The Pastor’s Wife, Sabina tells the story of how she and Richard, both atheistic Jews, came to faith in Christ and served as His powerful witnesses while imprisoned by Communist Romania authorities.

Crushing Chaos : Calm Your Storms. Order Your Life. Find Your Peace.
$26.00

There is chaos in your life, probably more than you bargained for. But rest assured that the God of the Bible is neither intimidated nor stumped by your chaos. He knows exactly how to conquer it and create order in your life. The story of the Bible centers on God’s work of bringing form and function to the messes we humans make. In fact, His solution for the Chaos found in Genesis wasn’t to automatically provide peace-it was to establish order. And for good reason.

In Crushing Chaos, pastor and self-proclaimed Bible nerd Manny Arango unfolds the ways that God faithfully, lovingly does just that, showing you how to conquer the chaos you’ve carried with you for far too long and restoring passion and purpose to your life. You’ll discover how a path of surrender and self-sacrifice can lead you from a place of turmoil and confusion to a place of hope and peace. The answer is in saying “yes” to a radically reordered life.

Amid the life and ministry, suffering and death, and triumphant resurrection of Jesus, we encounter the methods behind his mission (hint: they took pretty much everyone by surprise) to bring His people back to life in the Garden of New Creation, which we were originally intended-and are still destined-to call home.

Kingdom Of Cain
Original price was: $29.99.Current price is: $17.97.

How can we “rejoice always” when the world often seems so broken? Andrew Klavan explores how artists’ imaginative engagement with the darkness can point the way to living beautifully in the midst of a tragic world.

In his USA Today bestselling The Truth and Beauty, Andrew Klavan explored how the work of great poets helps illuminate the truth of the gospels. Now, the award-winning screenwriter and crime novelist turns his attention to the dark side of human nature to discover how we might find joy and beauty in the world while still being clear-eyed about the evil found in it.

The Kingdom of Cain looks at three murders in history–including the first murder, Cain’s killing of his brother, Abel–and at the art created from imaginative engagement with those horrific events by artists ranging from Fyodor Dostoevsky to Alfred Hitchcock. To make beauty out of the world as it is–shot through with evil and injustice and suffering–is the task not just of the artist but, Klavan argues, of every life rightly lived. Examining how that transformation occurs in art grants us a vision for how it can happen in our lives.

Klavan eloquently argues that it is possible to be clear-eyed about the evil in the world while remaining hope-filled about God’s ability to redeem it all.

Courage To Change
$29.00

Change is inevitable. And sometimes it’s confusing and difficult, even when it’s good. We can’t keep change from coming, but we can allow it to transform us rather than derail us by facing it and embracing it through the lens of God’s unchanging promises to us.

We’ve all heard the saying, “The only constant is change.” Sometimes the changes we face, both expected and unexpected, can make our lives feel ungrounded and unsteady. And when we react to change with fear, an opportunity for growth can turn into overwhelming anxiety that locks us into situations, relationships, and ways of thinking and being that prevent us from living in the fullness of who we truly are in Christ.

Beloved Bible teacher and #1 New York Times bestselling author Joyce Meyer wants us to know that even when we feel like the ground beneath our feet is shifting, we can stand firm on the promise of God’s Word that He will see us through. With her signature insight and timeless wisdom, Joyce shows us how to align our emotional reactions to changes with the truth of God’s promise that He will work all changes for good in our lives, even the most painful and difficult ones. In The Courage to Change, you will learn how to:

*Embrace change as a necessary part of growth
*Replace a mindset of fear with a mindset of opportunity
*And live fully within the uncertainty of change while maintaining peace.

We will all face changes again and again throughout our lifetimes. We don’t have to live dreading the challenges that these changes bring. We can equip ourselves to become people of bravery, optimism, and hope in an ever-changing world, because we have God’s assurance that His character and His promises will never change.

Become a change warrior and embrace the courage to change.

The Courage to Change also contains study questions at the end of each chapter for individual or group reflection.
