Closer To God

* practicing repentance that leads to refreshment of your soul
* pursuing holiness that leads to a freedom you never imagined possible
* cultivating intimacy with the Holy Spirit and enjoying the beauty of His presenceWith personal, and often humorous, anecdotes and biblical insights, Closer to God offers a guide to embracing intimacy with God from a place where the hunger for more of God is met through the beauty of obedience, holiness, and unity. You will be ignited with a desire to live a life worthy of the call as you pursue a deeper, transformative relationship with Him.

Living In Wonder
$29.99The West has become “disenchanted”–closed to the idea that the universe contains the supernatural, the metaphysical, or the non-material. Christianity is in crisis. People today are leaving the Church because faith has become dry and lifeless. But people aren’t leaving faith for atheism. They are still searching for the divine, and it might just be right under their noses.
In Living in Wonder, thought leader, cultural critic, and New York Times bestselling author Rod Dreher shows you how to encounter and embrace wonder in the world. In his trademark mixture of analysis, reporting, and personal story, Dreher brings together history, cultural anthropology, neuroscience, and the ancient Church to show you–no matter your religious affiliation–how to reconnect with the natural world and the Great Tradition of Christianity so you can relate to the world with more depth and connection.
He shares stories of miracles, rumors of angels, and outbreaks of awe to offer hope, as well as a guide for discerning and defending the truth in a confusing and spiritually dark culture, full of contemporary spiritual deceptions and tempting counterfeit spiritualities.
The world is not what we think it is. It is far more mysterious, exciting, connected, and adventurous. As you learn practical ways to regain a sense of wonder and awaken your sense of God’s presence–through prayer, attention, and living by spiritual disciplines–your eyes will be opened, and you will find the very thing every one of us searches for: our ultimate meaning.

Thirsting : Quenching Our Soul’s Deepest Desire
$19.99What if the longing we feel is a sign of God’s longing for us? Thirsting is a deeply spiritual exploration of a life-changing truth: only when we learn to live in the ache of our thirst instead of running from it will we know the joy of receiving God in every part of our lives.
We may be able to imagine God saving us, using us, and even loving us–but wanting us? Pursuing us? Longing for us? And yet, as spiritual director Strahan Coleman teaches, God’s greatest desire is to commune with us in the depths of our souls.
In Thirsting, Strahan eloquently guides us to:
*Acknowledge the God-given thirst within us so we can offer it to God in all its depth
*Learn to open up our pain to God so we can experience Him in the midst of our aching
*Allow God’s desire for us to open up a whole new experience of communionYou thirst because you are thirsted for. Take a rich, vulnerable journey toward an inner knowing with God as you step over shame, receive His love, and drink Him deeply. The very journey you were made for.

Living Out Loud
$17.99If you cringe at the thought of pulling out a napkin and drawing a chasm that only the cross can span, you’re in good company.
While most of us have the desire to share the gospel, we don’t know how to bring it up. Let’s face it… it’s not easy to go from “How is the weather” to “Jesus died for you,” and no one is walking up to us on the street asking, “What must I do to be saved?” So what’s a well-intentioned Christian to do?
Enter Living Out Loud.
Living out loud is not a strategy for sharing the gospel, but a way of living that begets the gospel. It’s about developing an active, natural posture of loving God and talking about Him as we go about our daily lives and rhythms in ways that are obvious to those around us.
It’s about making God such an integral part of our daily lives that we can’t help but talk about Him–at home, at work, with family and with friends–not as a sales pitch, but as a natural part of our regular conversations.
Living out loud isn’t about “sharing” the gospel; it’s about “living” it. When who we are as new creatures becomes obvious to those around us in the way we speak and live, and love, evangelism stops becoming a duty, and simply becomes inevitable.
In Living Out Loud, you’ll discover:
*How to bring a refreshing countercultural presence in one relationship and one conversation at a time
*How to demonstrate our beliefs to unbelievers in our daily lives and habits
*How to spiritually engage others in a way that feels natural
It’s time for a new approach to evangelism. Let Living Out Loud show you the way to communicate and truly embody the message of the gospel.

Entrusted To Lead
$18.99A practical tool for women who are called to leadership roles in any area of life, Entrusted to Lead offers biblical insight and real-life encouragement for how to navigate their leadership journey.
In Entrusted to Lead, Pastor Donna Pisani draws on over four decades of experience to offer a biblical perspective of women in leadership that considers their role an entrusted assignment rather than just an entitled position. Women who wrestle with God’s call to lead, or who don’t have anyone supporting their call, will discover how to:
*Embrace their God-given, unique leadership gifts
*Become alert to the internal lies that make them hesitant to pursue their calling
*Answer Jesus’ mandate to women to “go tell”-even when no one seems to be listening
*Understand how Paul empowered both genders to lead and serve together
*Lean into Jesus’ strength when facing leadership challengesGenerations of confusion keep women from answering God’s call to lead, depriving God’s kingdom of crucial gifts and abilities. Entrusted to Lead shows women what it looks like to lead with confidence in the workplace and in ministry-and why Jesus always wanted women to have a seat at the table.

Invisible Jesus : A Book About Leaving The Church And Looking For Christ
$22.99In recent years, we’ve seen an increase in the number of Christians who are deconstructing their faith, critically analyzing Christianity and finding that it falls short. Many end up leaving behind the beliefs and commitments they formerly held. While many have written on how to reverse this trend, Scot McKnight and Tommy Preson Phillips believe that rather than dismissing these concerns we need to listen more carefully.
Deconstructors are uncovering serious weaknesses in today’s church–a renewed fundamentalism, toxic leadership, and legalistic thinking among them. Utilizing the results of recent studies by Pew, Gallup, and others, McKnight and Phillips take a careful look at what deconstructors are really saying, seeking to better understand why many are shedding elements of the faith and church of their youth but also engaging in a reconstruction process, finding Jesus afresh. They are losing their religion, but not losing Jesus.
Filled with stories of those who have walked the path of deconstruction without losing their faith, Invisible Jesus is a prophetic call to examine ourselves and discern if the faith we practice and the church we belong to is really representative of the Jesus we follow. Each chapter looks at a different topic and offers biblical reflections that call for us to not only better listen, but to change how we live out our faith as followers of Jesus today.

Healing Whats Within
$18.99We can’t always control what happens to us. But we can discover how to heal the hidden hurt it leaves behind.
If you’re like many of us, you carry a weight of buried pain. Despite looking put together on the outside, you feel secretly fractured within. While you appear strong and resilient on the outside, inside a storm brews of all the ways you’ve been hurt or harmed. There’s a constant churn of unprocessed feelings of shame, anger, grief, or loneliness. And your body tells the story of its struggles in a myriad of aches and ailments. Little by little, you find yourself becoming disconnected from who you truly are. Not knowing what to do with your suffering and fearing you’ll be hurt again, you’ve learned to cope, to numb and suppress the ache within.
It doesn’t have to be this way. In Healing What’s Within, therapist and professor Chuck DeGroat invites you on a compassionate journey inward to return and retune to the life God created you to live. Along the way, you will discover how to:
*Gently consider and confront what’s keeping you stuck and blocking the path to joy and flourishing
*Better understand the relationship between your body and your emotions
*Experience God as a compassionate witness to your trauma-and his unconditional kindness to wherever you find yourself
*Discover real rest and renewal as you reconnect with God, others, and yourself.
It’s never too late to start healing. God’s heart is always ready to help you find your way Home.
