Experience Jesus Really
$29.99

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
$18.99

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.

2 Kinds Of Life
$14.99

Scientists study all forms of earthly life-from the tiniest microbe to the great creatures of the deep. But there is a different life that science knows nothing about: the abundant, eternal life that belongs to us thanks to the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

In The Two Kinds of Life: Discover the Lost Truth that Jesus Came to Give Us, E. W. Kenyon explains:

*What God the Father has always wanted for us
*Why we must become a new creation to receive eternal life
*How to receive the power of God to face every challenge in this world
*Why church teaching on behavior, sin, and repentance misses the mark

Jesus came into the world so that we “may have life” and “have it more abundantly” (John 10:10). “In Him was life, and the life was the light of men” (John 1:4). The spiritual truths shared by Kenyon are all based on God’s Word. Learn how to receive the benefits of eternal life right now!

Art Of Disagreeing
$12.99

In this positive and practical book, Gavin Ortlund looks to the Scriptures to discover a way in which to disagree with others that leads to greater understanding, peace and love–and that shows a watching world something of Jesus.

This is a much-needed message in a society that is losing the ability to disagree well. Whether over politics, religion, culture, or the more everyday issues of normal life, points of view tend to be held with a polarizing intensity. Too often we view disagreements as must-win contests or we simply do our best to avoid them altogether.

Looking to Jesus’ example of courage and kindness, readers will be given a framework for engaging in intense disagreements with a love that furthers relationships instead of hindering them.

So, whether you tend to fight or flee, learn how to keep calm and stay friends–even when you disagree.

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.
