Crazy Love – Updated Edition Francis Chan
Passion Mike McKinley
Loving Jesus More Phil Ryken
RRP: £9.99 / 9781434705945
RRP: £7.99 / 9781908762061
RRP: £9.99 / 9781433534089
With an urgency that seeks to awaken a sleeping church mired in the comfort of middle ground, Crazy Love gets to the heart of the matter and leaves you wanting more- more of the matchless Jesus who offers radical life for all.
Passion wipes the dust off the familiar events of Christ’s last day, showing just what a difference the cross makes to everyday life. Warning: Mike’s insights are like nails!
This book balances the shocking honesty of the gospel with its glorious hope. I’m thankful for the surgery done on me through this book and I think you will be too.

The Apple of his Eye Bridget Plass
Choose Love Stormie Omartian
Transformed by Love Liz Babbs
RRP: £7.99 / 9781841010885
RRP: £9.99 / 9780736958974
RRP: £6.99 / 9781782592624
We are loved by God immensely, but our feelings cloud our perception of this truth. Bridget’s skill in this book is to give us a snapshot of a real life lived, warts and all, and yet God breaks through. Life’s joy and pain hit Bridget full on but she still shows us the reality of following a God who loves us, completely.
Stormie is popular for her Power of a Praying series but here she asks us to respond to God’s love by receiving, embracing and showing it to others. Stormie’s desire is that we grow in our capacity to choose God’s love and so improve our lives in His service.
Sometimes we are unsure how or what to pray. Liz’s poems and reflections allow us to call out to God in a new way. The prose is clear and descriptive, as if your heart was calling out to God on its own. Perfect for a personal retreat.

The Meaning of Marriage Timothy Keller RRP: £9.99 / 9781444702163
You and Me Forever Francis Chan £9.99 / 9780990351405
Francis and Lisa Chan speak about serving God first as the best way to live as a couple. This tough but biblical book explains how we can put Jesus first in every area of our lives, including marriage.
This is a powerful book; it is my new favourite book on marriage. The Meaning of Marriage elevates marriage, making it something beautiful and holy and lovely. This book celebrates it all and it does it within the greatest context of all- the gospel of Jesus Christ. Tim Challies,

Goliath battle with that cultural juggernaut.”
Counter Culture David Platt RRP: £9.99 / 9781414301045 Bestselling author David Platt shows how to take a stand on such issues as poverty, marriage, abortion, and religious liberty—and challenges us to become passionate, unwavering voices for Christ.
