LASTING EVER
Faith, Music, Family, and Being Found by True Love
REBECCA ST. JAMES AND CUBBIE FINK
Grow in your relationship with God and others as you follow the journey of two authentic believers who—through trials, trust, and a relentless love—learned to root their faith in the faithfulness of God.
What does it look like to lean on God throughout the ups and downs of life? In Lasting Ever, Rebecca St. James and Cubbie Fink inspire us to live with courage, faith, and love—knowing that God is always with us on the journey.
Through authentic storytelling and hard-won wisdom, Rebecca and Cubbie illuminate the heartaches and triumphs that have shaped their story as a married couple, as parents, as musicians, and—most of all— as Jesus followers. Our awareness of God’s faithfulness in our own lives will deepen as we:
• Realize our expectations can bring both joy and reliance
• Understand our strength is found in turning to God in our weakness
• See how God works even in our loneliness, burnout, or insecurity
• Live boldly in our dependence on God’s goodness
Through honest conversations about singlehood, marriage, the purity movement, and life in the spotlight, Lasting Ever offers hope to all of us who face life challenges but long to embrace life with a heart attuned to God’s grace.

A disciplined, godly man is a beacon of hope and strength in this haphazard world. His life is a testament to Jesus, the Master Blacksmith. But the Blacksmith’s forging doesn’t happen by chance. It happens when we intentionally use the tools He provides.

• Prayer: How to maintain a continuous dialogue with God and follow his guidance
• Scripture: How to overcome barriers to reading the Bible using the PASS method
• Brotherhood: How men can encourage, challenge, and support one another
• Accountability: How to build nurturing relationships that facilitate obedience to God’s will
• Ministry: How to embody God’s message and fulfill God’s good works
This engaging guide empowers men to move beyond spiritual inertia and develop a habit of disciplines as they are forged into the men God created them to be.

Relationships can feel like a constant struggle. How can we recognize and overcome behaviors that leave us wounded, broken, and exhausted?

Drawing on their own story of healing, Justin and Trisha Davis offer practical encouragement for:
• Understanding the choices we make that can sabotage us
• Not letting the past dictate the present
• Leaving behind our go-to sins and dysfunctions
• Moving forward in the hope of who God calls us to be
You aren’t as stuck as you think you are. In fact, you are just one decision away from breaking the cycles that keep you living in fear and shame. Experience the power of God’s grace … one choice at a time.

ABOUT THE AUTHORS
Jeff Mattson (MA ORGL) and Terra Mattson (MA LPC, LMFT) advocate for healthy leadership through their work as founders of Living Wholehearted, hosts of the Living Wholehearted podcast, speakers, authors, and creators of the global nonprofit Courageous Girls.

SHRINKING THE INTEGRITY GAP
Between What Leaders Preach and Live JEFF AND TERRA MATTSON
True leadership starts with character, not a title. When leaders live and lead with integrity, everyone in their wake benefits. When they lack integrity, everyone in their wake pays … it’s just a matter of time. With a focus on processing past and present trauma and the practical tools to heal, Shrinking the Integrity Gap is a call to greater wholeness in a leader’s life so the values they preach more closely match the values they live.
Every leader values integrity, but far too few live it out. The founders of Living Wholehearted, Jeff and Terra Mattson, find that most high-capacity leaders have experienced childhood trauma and use leadership as a way to cope.
In Shrinking the Integrity Gap, the Mattsons remind readers that integrity is a way of being and not a one-time event. Providing longterm solutions rooted in grace, they explore the following:
• The symptoms and systemic impact of the integrity gap
• How a leader’s unresolved story impacts their influence
• Ways to overcome the loneliness and effects of leadership
• Healthy leadership habits for wholehearted leadership
Integrating biblical truth, clinical research, relational wisdom, and real stories, Shrinking the Integrity Gap equips readers to become the kind of leader anyone would want to follow.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Nancy Pearcey is the award-winning author of numerous books including How Now Shall We Live? with Charles Colson and Harold Fickett, The Toxic War on Masculinity, and Total Truth Heralded as “America’s preeminent evangelical Protestant female intellectual” (The Economist), Pearcey is a professor of apologetics and scholar-in-residence at Houston Christian University.
FINDING TRUTH
5 Principles for Unmasking Atheism, Secularism, and Other God Substitutes NANCY PEARCEY
This apologetics book for a new generation teaches a biblically based, straightforward approach to conversations with atheists, skeptics, and seekers about why the truths they long for can be found only in Christianity.
From former agnostic Nancy Pearcey, this real-world apologetics book offers a five-part strategy for answering the claims of any worldview.
Christians can feel overwhelmed at the sheer number of competing worldviews in today’s pluralistic society. But we do not have to memorize a new argument to answer every possible perspective. In Finding Truth, Nancy Pearcey provides five biblically-based principles that cut to the heart of any worldview while making a compelling and attractive case for Christianity.
This highly engaging and practical book:
• Equips you to respectfully respond to atheists and skeptics with a single apologetics approach
• Challenges the assumption that faith means we stop thinking and “just believe”
• Explores why the bedrock truths we long for are found only in historic Christianity
• Helps us see how the Bible gives us the resources we need to think critically about any system of ideas so we can speak about Jesus with confidence
Rich with personal stories and modern-day examples, Finding Truth is a training manual to help you make the case for Christianity in a postChristian world. As Pearcey reminds us, the most common reason people give for rejecting Christianity is that they can’t find satisfying answers to their doubts. Finding Truth offers those answers and helps you articulate them so that you can say along with Paul, “I am not ashamed of the gospel.”

But when a fresh murder in Palos Verdes occurs, and a mysterious subject starts calling the police department to talk to Murph, the stakes get higher. A third killing leads the team to suspect one person is behind all the murders—and still on the loose. Worse, the crimes have happened at one-week intervals, which means Murph and his colleagues have only a few days left to keep the killer from striking again …

We experience longing in every season of life, whether we ache for a spouse or child, for healing in a broken relationship, or for a clearer direction in our calling.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Lauren Mitchell is a speaker, teacher, and mother of three. She considers herself an expert at nothing but needing God, and needing God has taught her prayer.
Lauren loves talking to people about Jesus, whether in a large group setting or with a few women on her front porch over a cup of really good coffee. Lauren lives in Georgia, south of Atlanta.
STEADFAST THROUGH PSALMS
Becoming a Woman After God’s Own Heart LAUREN MITCHELL
A six-week guide to a deeper and more joy-filled prayer life, Steadfast through Psalms guides us in prayer journaling, praying Scripture, and pouring out our hearts to God as David did so we can set God’s life-changing truths into action.
Prayer is more than an invitation to take our thoughts to God. It’s an invitation to know His thoughts toward us. In fact, as Lauren Mitchell reminds us in this in-depth look at David’s psalms, prayer is not something that enhances our spiritual life; it actually enables it.
David wholeheartedly understood the truth that only through prayer can we know God’s peace when everything around us is changing. In Steadfast through Psalms, Lauren writes to Christians who long to pray with the passion of David but don’t know how to get there. This sixweek prayer guide includes…
• Morning and evening prayers to overcome the spiritual amnesia that can happen during the day
• Practical tools, such as prayer journaling, for stilling our minds
• Insights and inspiration for praying the words of Scripture
• Ideas for developing a rhythm of prayer that increases mindfulness, purpose, and peace
• Access to six teaching videos that correspond with each week’s theme
We often think of prayer as a last resort for a problem rather than a beautiful way to anchor ourselves in God’s heart. As David discovered, when we renew our minds through prayer, we can stay steadfast no matter what the day holds.

Though children can often sense when things are spinning out of control, they don’t always know how to bring themselves back to a state of calm. Like every book in the StrongHeart Stories series, The Heart Who Wanted to Find a Way equips children with healthy, loving ways to deal with big feelings. This illustrated story series gives parents the guidance and biblical tools to prepare children for spiritual battles in developmentally appropriate ways—through Scripture, worship, rest, prayer, confession, and community.
In this beautiful picture book, children will see how anxious feelings can make them lose their way, but resting in God’s peace helps them find it again.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Miralee Ferrell is the award-winning author of more than twenty-five books for children and adults, several of which are now television movies. Miralee and her husband live on eleven acres near the Columbia River Gorge in Washington State, where she loves horseback riding and hiking on wooded trails near her home.
KATE’S STOLEN TREASURE
MIRALEE FERRELL
In book 7 of the delightful Horses & Friends Series for young readers, Kate and her friends are determined to find Kate’s stolen filly, but they soon realize not all is as it seems.
Fourteen-year-old Kate Ferris has settled into her new life in Odell, Oregon. The riding barn and her friendships are expanding, and her little brother, Pete, who is autistic, has started to blossom. The upcoming Hood River County fair promises to be the perfect place for Kate to show her new filly, Sapphire. But then the unthinkable happens: Sapphire disappears.
Kate and her friends scour the countryside, put up flyers, and even get the police involved, but Sapphire is nowhere to be found. Then they knock on the door of an old house and meet a suspicious man who demands they leave the property. Could he be involved in Sapphire’s disappearance? When Kate, Tori, and Jake look for clues, they find themselves trapped—and more desperate than ever to find Sapphire before she’s sold. Will the mysterious man decide to help them or only put them in more danger?
The latest addition to the Horses & Friends Series, Kate’s Stolen Treasure is a wholesome, well-crafted tale that includes author insights, a story-based recipe, and thoughtful questions to inspire deep faith and rich relationships.
