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.

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.”

Jesus Shaped Life
$26.99

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!

Big Relief : The Urgency Of Grace For A Worn-Out World
$26.99

We could all use a little–or a lot–of relief from the pressures of life. And there is no bigger relief than the grace of God.

Think of grace as one-way love. A gift with no strings attached. Favor when you least expect or deserve it. Knowing that you don’t have to do anything to earn God’s approval.

In The Big Relief, popular author David Zahl spotlights grace as the most important, urgent, and radical contribution Christianity has to offer the world. Zahl helps readers understand the beauty and depth of grace, outlining how it provides relief from the guilt, status anxiety, and accelerating demand that characterize so much of modern life. Drawing on the witness of Scripture and a panoply of contemporary examples, he unpacks the theology of grace in fresh and exciting terms, exploring its many fruits–such as freedom, play, surrender, humility, rest, surprise, and joy–in the process.

Zahl invites us to embrace Christianity as a refuge rather than as a project, a beacon of hope instead of a vehicle of shame, and a harbor of refreshment in a worn-out world. Ultimately, he welcomes everyone to receive the gift of relief we so desperately need.

Perfected : Trading Shame For Wholeness In Christ
$17.99

“Am I good enough?” The question plagued Bethany’s heart and mind as she drifted off to sleep each night. She worried whether her meager efforts had met the expectations of those around her, the ones in her own head, and (more importantly) the ones she felt from God.

Culture answered her question with glowing affirmations. You’ve got this girl! Just believe in yourself! You are more than enough, just the way you are! Even in the church, her struggles with insufficiency and insecurity were met with true yet incomplete promises. He created you just as you are! You’re a princess in his eyes! You are enough for him! All these phrases were merely bandages covering the festering wound of how inadequate she felt.

How could she truly know if she was good enough?

Through biblical teaching alongside her own personal struggles with perfectionism and condemnation, Bethany shares how she learned to lay down her efforts to be good enough by trusting that Christ is enough for her.

Perfected replaces the burdensome expectations and empty affirmations of this world with the truth that Christ has perfected you for all time. You can find freedom from your self-sufficient striving and rest in the finished work of Christ on your behalf.

New Way To Love Your Neighbor
$17.99

In a world that revels in outrage and embarrassing others at worst-or maybe just ignoring those we don’t like at best-Christians know they are supposed to “be loving” instead. But how? “Being loving” sounds nice, but what does love really look like, and how does it show up? Spoiler alert: it looks nothing like the world’s conventional definitions of love. After all, if those cultural approaches to love were working, why are you still witnessing people tearing each other apart on the internet, or avoiding your coworker in passive-aggressive ways, or fighting yet again with your spouse over who’s on dish duty, or bickering with your neighbor over whether your trashcan is parked in the right place?

In her much-anticipated debut book, compelling and sought-after Bible teacher Jada Edwards schools us all on how to transform our relationship with both God and others (yes, even those we don’t like!). In short, Jada reveals how we often get love wrong. But with the right definition and expression of love, so much can change-including our relationships. In this book, you’ll discover:

*How to release yourself from 4 limits holding you back from fully experiencing God’s love for you

*How to adopt 5 clear and surprising ways to be loving to those around you

*How to be curious, free, brave, resilient, and real in your relationships

*How to experience transformation in any kind of relationship

A rich, full, and loving relationship with God and others is possible, so long as you get love right. Are you ready to experience it?

Platforms To Pillars
$15.99

A biblical response to living in a platform society.

Platform: A mentality, a way of approaching life, which promises to reinforce our uniqueness, deliver on our desires, and offer validation and visibility.

A platform society emphasizes individualism and performance. It’s rooted in the belief that self and personal desires are preeminent. In Platforms to Pillars, cultural expert Mark Sayers explores how platform mentality is misshaping our contemporary world and contrasts this to the biblical call of Christians to live as pillars.

By looking at the ancient world–a world remarkably similar to our own–Sayers explores the flaws of a platform society. Sayers takes a deep dive into the influence and allure of digital platforms on individuals and society, and he invites readers to envision a legacy that lives beyond themselves. Like columns in buildings, human pillars provide support and strength. They work together to create space for others, partnering with God as He advances His kingdom in the world. Human pillars fortify and protect community through virtue and character and pass these values to others.

Sayers shows us how to delight in God’s presence, enjoying the freedom that flows from belonging to Him. A much-needed corrective, Platforms to Pillars models a biblical and better way for Christians to live.

10 Men : The Rich Connections Every Man Needs – A Study Of King David
$16.99

King David is arguably one of the greatest kings to ever live. He was an unparalleled military leader, unifier of a nation, and exhibited spiritual leadership to name a few of his accomplishments. Although King David was a man after God’s own heart he was imperfect and sinful. Throughout David’s life he was blessed to encounter connections (both positive and negative) with other men that made David who he was. God has built us for connection and your destiny and success is intertwined with your relational life. Ten Men was written to help men define and find their God-given tribe. Author Doug Reed walks readers through ten special relationships that David had with other men in his life and he’ll explain how we need fight against our weaknesses and shortcomings by helping each other. This book is a wonderful opportunity to walk alongside other men in authenticity through a bible study or small group setting to spur one another to spiritual maturity.

Blessed Are The Spiraling
$20.99

ARE YOU GOING TO COPE, QUIT, OR COME ALIVE IN A BRAND-NEW WAY?

The whirlwind of chaos and confusion barreling toward you has likely caught you completely off guard. Maybe you’re navigating a season of transition–a career shift, a major life adjustment, or just an unshakable sense of disorientation. When the things that once brought fulfillment no longer seem to work, when the familiar feels foreign, and when life feels like it’s slipped out of your control, you’re actually in the perfect position for God to lead you to greater heights.

Am I still enough if I don’t succeed? Is this season going to last forever? Am I too old to make a change, start over, or dream again?

Levi Lusko wrestled with these questions, and what he discovered on the other side wasn’t despair but surprising delight.

With a rich blend of personal stories, biblical insight, and hard-won wisdom, this book will help you:

*find your footing in the disorienting chaos and tap into steady, unshakable joy amidst life’s storms;

*step off the treadmill of success-chasing and embrace the true significance that comes from knowing that your worth is fixed and your future is secure;

*challenge the lie that your best days are behind you by getting your bearings, retooling, and reframing for a vibrant future; and

*channel the energy of your spiraling into something meaningful and life-giving, propelling you to a new level.

This could be your new lease on life.
