Whatever Happens : How To Stand Firm In Your Faith When The World Is Fallin
$19.99

Now available in trade paper!

Tackle each day with an undaunted attitude in an age of mindless doomscrolling and consumption of negative news. The Apostle Paul’s wisdom of Philippians is distilled into 31 short chapters that help change overwhelming into overflowing, turn hardship into faith, and give believers in an unstable world the ability to stand firm on gospel truths.

Philippians is one of the most practical books of the Bible, which Robert Morgan says is as fresh as ever. Its theme can be summed up in these verses: “Whatever happens, conduct yourself in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ. Then . . . I will know that you stand firm in the one Spirit, striving together as one for the faith of the gospel without being frightened in any way by those who oppose you” (1:27-28).

Life is unpredictable, and the world is unstable. People have never been so confounded, sensing our culture, economy, and geopolitical systems are spiraling downward. Even in our personal lives, none of us knows what will happen next–which is why God gave us the book of Philippians. This short letter, with just over 100 verses, can help us learn to live overflowing lives in an overwhelming world.

Among the many lessons in Whatever Happens, readers will learn how to:

*Use prayer to energize their life and embrace uncertainty
*Make today about serving others and lifting them up
*Glorify the Lord and stay as cheerful as possible in all circumstances
*Let others lean on their strength
*Start everything with praise and end everything with prayer

As the apostle Paul wrote his letter to the Philippians from a prison cell, he was facing dire circumstances and an unsettled future. Would he be released or executed? But he knew one thing–that whatever happened, he was going to stand firm in his faith and live a life worthy of the gospel. And no matter what we are going through today, we can do the same.

Being Fully Known
$18.99

A weaving of biblical wisdom, keen insights into human behavior, and personal reflection prompts, Being Fully Known tackles the negative self-talk and limiting beliefs that leave us stuck in lives that are not our own.

The world pressures us to do. God invites us to be. In this freeing book, Dr. Saundra Dalton-Smith speaks to all of us who hold back because we fear vulnerability or rejection. Using her background as a physician, spiritual mentor, and coach, Dr. Saundra helps us bridge the disconnect between the wanting to express our true selves and the beliefs that keep us in fear-based living.

Structured with the option to be used as part of a 21-day fast, Being Fully Known blends Scripture, science, and story to offer insights into how we can:

*discover where we naturally fit rather than forcing ourselves to fit in
*embrace the fullness of our identity apart from our assumed roles
*overcome mental barriers that cause us to seek accomplishment over contentment
*reconnect with the courage to live into what God sees in us
*experience greater joy in our relationships, career, and creative expression

Being Fully Known is a journey toward God-awareness, self-acceptance, and the fulfillment found in knowing we are seen and understood. Step into your God-given, joy-filled identity as you follow the mentoring of the Holy Spirit through this life-changing guide to being over doing.

Experience Jesus Really
Original price was: $29.99.Current price is: $17.97.

New York Times bestselling author John Eldredge reveals the path of the “ordinary mystic,” and invites readers into the refuge of experiencing deep, lasting, real communion with Jesus.

In this present age we are all becoming disciples of the Internet. We are addicted to distraction. We idolize our instant access to a never-ending avalanche of information. We think we’re finally holding the keys to a better life.

But if that’s true, why are we wrestling with ever-increasing levels of anxiety, dissatisfaction, and despair? The fact is, we live in a world of weary, skeptical pragmatism–and it’s keeping us from experiencing the God we are dying without.

John Eldredge presents a powerful alternative to the soulless, disenchanted world we find ourselves living in today: the path of the ordinary mystic. Readers who join Eldredge on this journey will:

*regain childlike faith in the reality of God’s constant, available presence to those who seek him;

*discover the biblical foundations for the mystical tradition in Christianity; and

*learn practices, habits, and prayers that will transform their ability to hear the voice of Jesus in their day-to-day lives.

Every human yearns to return to Eden, to a state of unbroken communion with the God who created us for adventure and intimacy with him. The mystic is awake to the truth that God is still with us–and we experience the refuge of his powerful, healing presence if we learn to open our hearts to him.

God Can We Chat
Original price was: $18.99.Current price is: $16.97.

When we find ourselves at the crossroads of doubt and faith, distant from God and worried our faith is slipping away, it’s hard to know where to turn.

Some books tell you why your faith still holds true, and despite your growing unease, they insist you hold on to and even find certainty in what you’ve been taught. This isn’t one of those books. Yes, our questions hold power. But rather than destroying or weakening our faith, they build and strengthen it–one honest chat at a time.

God, Can We Chat? invites you to take Jesus at his word when he calls you to come as you are right now–a doubting believer or perhaps even a believing doubter–to experience the intimacy and rest your soul craves in the midst of fear, doubt, anger, or confusion. Rather than attempting to answer all your questions or settle ongoing theological debates, author Niki Hardy helps you see doubts not as the end of your faith but as the beginning of an honest and fearless relationship with God–the one who is not threatened by our questions and who calls us not to unwavering belief but unrelenting love.

Steadfast Love Of The Lord
$21.99

A Clear, Biblical Picture of God’s Unconditional Love for His Children

Many believers know that “God is love.” But whether through cultural lies, false beliefs, or years of mulling over the tragedies of the world, it may be difficult to see the true, steadfast, and unchanging love of the Father. Thankfully the Bible offers a clear picture of what God’s love looks like and how, through the ministry of the Holy Spirit, believers experience his affection for themselves.

Taking an accessible approach to biblical theology, author Sam Storms explores Scripture to address what God’s love is and what it isn’t. Drawing insights from the Psalms and the life of Jesus, Storms covers God’s sovereignty and the saving power, longevity, and sin-killing nature of his love. The Steadfast Love of the Lord breaks down obstacles that prevent believers from accepting biblical truths and challenges the cultural lies that hinder them from accepting God’s vast and unfathomable love.

*Accessible: An introductory approach to biblical theology, this book is perfect for laypeople and thoughtful Christians

*Practical: Not only helps believers study the nature of God but helps them experience his affection for themselves

*Honest: From a biblical perspective, this book addresses the cultural lies of our age to explain what love is and what it isn’t

Hole In Our Gospel Revised And Updated Content Facts And Photos
$22.99

Richard Stearns shows that the Bible boldly speaks that there is no “whole gospel” without compassion and justice shown to the poor. With more than 260,000 copies sold, The Hole in Our Gospel continues to impact readers worldwide, and this new edition includes updated statistics, photos, and a foreword from the current World Vision president.

Is our faith only about going to church, studying the Bible, and avoiding the most serious sins? Or does God expect more? Have we embraced the whole gospel or a gospel with a hole in it?

More than twenty years ago, Rich Stearns came face-to-face with that question as he sat in a mud hut in Rakai, Uganda, listening to the heartbreaking story of an orphaned child. Stearns’s journey took much more than a long flight to Africa. It took answering God’s call on his life, a call that tore him out of his corner office at one of America’s most prestigious corporations, to walk with the poorest of the poor in our world.

Stearns’s compelling story demonstrates that the whole gospel was always meant to be a world-changing social revolution, a revolution that begins with each one of us. With more than 260,000 copies sold, this revised and updated edition will be part of World Vision’s 75th anniversary.

Benefit Of Doubt
Original price was: $29.99.Current price is: $17.97.

God can handle your difficult questions and use them to deepen your relationship with him.

“Am I the only one who has these doubts? What if my friends, family, or others find out I’m doubting–and even deconstructing–my faith in God? What is really true? Does it make me a bad Christian if I have doubts?” At some point, almost all of us have had questions about Christianity and doubts about God. We’re afraid we might never find answers, yet we aren’t sure if we are ready to abandon our faith altogether.

Bestselling author and pastor Craig Groeschel has walked through the valley of doubt himself, and in The Benefit of Doubt, he shows us how asking questions, seeking answers, and wrestling with doubt can actually draw us closer to God. With his trademark humor, warmth, and lay-it-all-on-the-table style, Groeschel shares stories from his own life as well as the Bible to help us wrestle with–and find helpful answers to–the questions fueling our doubt:

*What should I do when I doubt God’s goodness?
*Why doesn’t God answer my prayers?
*Doesn’t science disprove the Bible?
*Why would God only provide one way to heaven?
*Why believe in Jesus when his followers are such hypocrites?
*Why does God sometimes feel so far away?

Doubt is an important part of deepening your faith, but that doesn’t make it an easy process to walk through. If you’re wrestling with doubts, this book, along with God’s transformative power, will help you develop a richer faith, a deeper understanding, and a more authentic relationship with God.
