Life Lessons From 2 Samuel
$14.99

It wasn’t an easy path for David to become king over Israel. God had personally selected him for the role at a young age and given him the strength and courage to defeat the Philistine giant named Goliath. However, David’s popularity that resulted from this triumph made the current king, Saul, paranoid that he would lose the throne. He made attacks against David’s life, forcing the younger man to flee into the wilderness and even hide out in enemy territory. Saul was ultimately killed in battle, but the path wouldn’t get much easier for David once he became king. Sadly, much of this turmoil would come about as a result of David’s own sinful actions when he committed adultery and then murder to cover it up.

Join beloved author Max Lucado as he explores David’s reign in 2 Samuel and how God used him to become Israel’s greatest king in spite of his many flaws and failings. As you read, study, journal, and discuss the book of 2 Samuel, watch for these key themes that Max will unpack throughout the book:

*God provides his guidance in the intersections of life.
*Pride always leads to a fall and colossal collapses.
*Our God is in the business of forgiving and restoring his people.
*The Lord continues to look for people after his own heart.

Life Lessons with Max Lucado brings the Bible to life in twelve lessons filled with intriguing questions, inspirational stories, and poignant reflections to take you deeper into God’s Word. Each lesson includes:

*An opening reflection on the Bible book you’re studying.
*Background information to deepen your understanding of the cultural and historical setting.
*An excerpt of the text (from the NIV and the NKJV).
*Exploration questions with plenty of room to write your own thoughts and notes.
*Inspirational thoughts from Max as well as a closing takeaway for further reflection.

The Life Lessons series is ideal for use in both a small-group setting or for individual study.

He Chose The Nails Bible Study Guide Plus Streaming Video Updated Edition (Stude
$21.99

Is your heart unsettled by the chaos of the world? Are you heavy-laden with bad moments, mad moments, or anxious moments? Today, rest in God’s self-giving love and leave all your troubles at the foot of the cross.

In the He Chose the Nails Bible Study, Max Lucado observes that the last moments leading up to Jesus’ death were not left up to chance. God chose the path; he selected the nails. Our Lord planted the trio of crosses and painted the sign. God was never more sovereign than in the details of the death of his Son.

And in those details are gifts that Christ provided for us. The cross. The thorns. The nails. His seamless robe. The empty tomb. God didn’t have to give us all these things, you know. The only required act for our salvation was the shedding of blood, yet he did much more. So much more.

In this Easter season study, Max will help you:

*Experience Lent as a time not to just give up something, but to prepare to receive good gifts from God.

*Take comfort that Jesus understands everything you face in this life.

*Receive the grace of Christ’s work for us and cooperate with God’s work in us to make us more like him.

*Stand firm in the promise that you are forgiven, and you are welcome in God’s presence, no matter what you’ve done.

Search the scene of the cross and listen for God’s gentle whisper, “I did it just for you.”

The He Chose the Nails Bible Study Guide includes video notes and discussion questions, Bible exploration, an individual application activity, and a Lenten practice to complete between meetings.

Sessions include:

1. He Chose to Be One of Us
2. He Chose to Forgive Us
3. He Chose to Invite Us into His Presence
4. He Chose to Love Us Forever
5. He Chose to Give Us Victory
6. He Chose to Give Us Confidence (optional session for Week 6 of Lent)

This six-session Bible study explores three scripture-based tools for managing your thoughts:

*Practice Picky Thinking: Monitor the airspace of your thoughts and don’t allow the destructive ones to land. Identify

Tame Your Thoughts
$29.99

When was the last time you awakened to a swirl of out-of-control thoughts? Perhaps you were overwhelmed with the weight of worry, the fear of failing, or the grip of guilt. The way we think directly impacts our joy and peace. In Tame Your Thoughts, Max Lucado provides three biblical and practical tools to renew your mind and transform your life.

Our thoughts have consequences. Most people would agree that positive thoughts generate positive actions. Negative thoughts activate negative behavior. But do we understand that we can manage our lives by managing our thoughts? Not only does neuroscience back this concept, but the idea is also embedded throughout Scripture. “Do not be conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewal of your mind” (Rom.12:2 esv). Tame your thoughts and transform your life!

In Tame Your Thoughts, Max explores three key thought-management tools and then applies them to the most common thought problems: worry, guilt, anxiety, and other types of mental quicksand that threaten to trap us. God loves us too much to let us lead a life marked by poor thinking. He made our brains; he can retrain our brains. God has not left us alone in this battle of the mind.

Stuck in your head? Hounded by regrets? Weighed down by worry? Change is possible! The thoughts that have characterized your past need not characterize the rest of your life. Readers will learn to:

*take thoughts captive,
*test each message against the truth of Scripture,
*interrupt poisonous thought threads, and
*think and act like Jesus.

If God can resurrect the dead, can he not resurrect hope? Defy depression? Clarify confusion? Silence shame? Destroy doubt? Banish bitterness?

Take God at his word. “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind” (2 Tim. 1:7 nkjv, emphasis added). With God as their helper, the reader will discover a new way of thinking and a better way of living. A new person will begin to emerge.We can tame each thought, friends.

10 Women Of The Bible Updated Edition (Student/Study Guide)
$21.99

Do you ever feel like a second-class citizen in this world?

Do you wonder how God could possibly use you to change lives?

For women in Bible times, these weren’t even questions they thought about. Being overlooked, marginalized, having your contributions discounted because you’re a woman… it’s just the way things were. In this ten-lesson workbook, Max Lucado tells some of his favorite accounts of women in Scripture and the remarkable way God broke down cultural barriers to use them in the unfolding of His story.

You will discover…

*Sarah, the woman whom God promised would give birth to a nation, but who tried to rush things when God’s promises didn’t seem to be coming to pass.

*Rahab, a prostitute in the Canaanite city of Jericho, who would save herself and her family through her faith in the one true God of the Israelites.

*Abigail, a woman forced to play peacemaker by the barbaric behavior of her husband.

*Esther, a young queen whom God placed in the Persian court for “such a time as this” to prevent the genocide of the Jewish people.

*Mary, the young virgin pledged to Joseph, whom God would choose to give birth to Jesus, the promised Messiah who would save the world.

*The Samaritan Woman, who would meet this Messiah at a well one day. His words would forever after change her life.

*The Canaanite Woman, who made God smile with her wit and faith, and who received from Jesus an answer to her prayer.

*Mary of Bethany, a friend of Jesus who witnessed the resurrection of her brother, Lazarus, and then anointed Christ in anticipation of his death and resurrection.

*Mary Magdalene, who followed Jesus despite the injustice of a world that judged her for her past and said she would always be considered a failure.

*Sapphira, a woman in the early church who, along with her husband, made the unfortunate (and deadly) decision to lie to the Holy Spirit.

These stories show us there is a God who sees us where we are and loves us for who we are. He is the one who hovers over all the pages of the Bible, shaping lives, rescuing hearts, healing sicknesses, raising what was dead to life, and passing out high callings to those who choose to follow him and have faith in him.

Each lesson includes:

*Five daily in-depth Bible studies to help you explore the stories in Scripture
*Daily points to remember to help you summarize the key points
*Daily prayers to help you focus your thoughts and move into your quiet time
