The man who knows all our secrets has a secret of his own.

When Travis Brock, a high-level Pentagon redactor with an eidetic memory, finds a clue to solving the tragic arson that took his wife from him, he risks everything to find the truth—and chances losing himself in the process.

With a terror attack looming on the horizon and a pair of assassins on his tail, Brock drops off the grid and joins forces with a disavowed Homeland Security operative. Together they race to stop the attack before Brock is neutralized by the people he trusts the most.

From critically acclaimed, bestselling novelist Steven James comes a smart, wire-tight, and emotionally resonant thriller that asks just how far across the line we might go to see justice carried out.

How can I hope for a good future with my bad past? Why them and not me? Why me and not them? What if I just don’t know what to do?

In our current climate of rising anxiety, we frequently run through worst-case scenarios. So many questions constantly circulate in our minds, and despite our best intentions and honest efforts, fear seems to be winning. We know the Bible repeats, “Do not fear,” but how do we do that? What do we do after we’ve cast our cares on the Lord, memorized Scripture, pumped worship music through every speaker, and yet still feel stuck?

In P.S. It’s Gonna Be Good, writer and popular Instagram content creator Heidi Anderson offers a hope-filled response to these questions by using her own journey, as well as pointing us to God’s people who have come before us. In each chapter of her insightful, conversational, and highly relational book, she focuses on a different Bible character as if we were walking behind their footsteps in real time, looking at the deep questions that ...

Never Lose Hope

Biblical Promises for Times of Trouble, Chaos, and Calamity Charles R. Swindoll

Summary

Those looking for hope in times of chaos; Christians who respect Swindoll as a voice of calm and reason

Respected Bible teacher Chuck Swindoll opens God’s Word to help you understand how you can find hope in times of crisis.

All of us are in desperate need of strength to endure and hope to carry on. Life is difficult and demanding. It’s often filled with pain, heartaches, setbacks, and detours. Disappointments in others sadden us, scandals among those we respect shock us, and disputes in our families, churches, or workplaces demoralize us. When such troubles strike, they can be downright devastating. But they don’t have to be!

In Never Lose Hope, Chuck Swindoll reassures us that we can endure unexpected calamities. How? By taking our stand on the strong foundation of God’s Word. When trials and tribulations rumble in like a fleet of bulldozers to demolish our lives, we can emerge from the rubble with a strong resolve to recover and rebuild. Not just to survive, but to thrive.

The Least of These Practicing a Faith without Margins Angie Ward

Summary

Thoughtful Christians interested in current events and cultural challenges seeking to offer good news to the broader society. Christian leaders who want to help their fellow believers honor God in their current cultural context.

TW/FB/IG: @angiewardphd

We know that in a fallen and broken world there will always be pain and poverty, sickness and sadness. Yet as followers of Christ, we are called to bring hope and healing to those who hurt. What, then, is our responsibility to alleviate human suffering this side of eternity? With so many needs everywhere we look, where do we start? One thing is certain: Our faith does not allow us to turn away. Our response to the least of these, Jesus tells us, impacts not just those in need but also our own hearts and potentially even our salvation.

The Least of These brings together a collection of respected Christian thought leaders to provide a multifaceted look at the body of Christ’s relationship and responsibility—both individual and corporate—to the marginalized of our society. Contributors include Lisa Rodriguez-Watson, David Hionides, Ben Virgo, Dennis Edwards, Brandon Washington, Jonathan Bro...

Why is the world so unfair? Where is God in the midst of the brokenness? Is there anything we can do?

Summary

IG: @karitrentstageberg 1.1K

Marriage can be surprisingly difficult when you’re first starting out.

Newly married couples face a tremendous challenge that is seldom talked about. In our social media-driven world, it’s easy to think that everyone else has it together in their marriages and wonder if maybe you made a mistake. The truth is, most couples don’t enter marriage with the communication or attachment skills needed to deal with the integration of two lives.

The Merge for Marriage helps answer the question newly married couples face: “Can we ever get on the same page?” Couples will learn

what it means to “merge” and the damaging effects of not dealing with differences early in a marriage; the seven predictable areas of conflict; a practical, powerful plan for dealing with differences with one’s partner; and how to help another couple walk through the merge process.

Full of practical stories, current research on connection and attachment, and enduring biblical principles, this book will help a couple learn how the di...

The Bachelor's Bargain Catherine Palmer

Summary

For fans of romance and historical romance, particularly Regency romance; for readers of Julie Klassen or Sarah Ladd, or those who enjoy watching period pieces like Sanditon on Masterpiece Theatre or would like a clean and wholesome alternative to Bridgerton.

For fans of Regency romance in the vein of Sanditon or Bridgerton comes a marriage of convenience story that will keep you smiling long after the last page.

Housemaid Anne Webster will stop at nothing to save her family from their dire circumstances. Even if it means accepting the proposal of the roguish Marquess of Blackthorne, who just returned to England from the Americas under a veil of mystery. Both have their own agenda—she to use his riches and he to use her lace-making skills—but neither could have dreamed what they would discover on the other side of their scheming.

As always, society tattler Miss Pickworth has a thing or two to say about this scandalous union. Unless they want their plans aired in her column, Ruel and Anne must keep their banter to a minimum and play the role of the happy couple.

He’s handsome and arrogant; she’s smart and obstinate. But can Anne and Ruel put their differences aside to fend off an unexpected foe?

The Year of Jubilee is a lyrical coming-of-age novel set against the backdrop of the turbulent South in the early 1960s.

The Mockingbird family has always lived peacefully in Jubilee, Kentucky, despite the divisions that mark their small town. Until the tense summer of 1963, when their youngest child, Isaac, falls gravely ill. Middle sister Grace, nearly fourteen, is determined to do whatever it takes to save her little brother. With her father and mother away at the hospital, Grace is left under the loving but inexperienced eye of her aunt June, with little to do but wait and worry. Inspired by a young teacher’s mission for change, she begins to flirt with danger—and with a gifted boy named Golden, who just might be the key to saving Isaac’s life. Then the unthinkable happens, and the world as she knows it shifts in ways she never could have imagined. Grace must decide what she believes amid the swirling, conflicting voices even of those she loves the most.

Summary General Christian trade

Having an unhealthy relationship with food has become the norm in our culture. Ads for new diets, workout regimens, and medical procedures bombard us at every turn. The desire to make changes to our bodies is common. We want to feel comfortable and confident in our own skin, and God wants that for us as well. We are temples for the Holy Spirit, and God desires that we be healthy in mind, spirit, and body. In 100 Days to Freedom from Overeating, Stephen Arterburn of New Life Ministries helps readers identify the causes behind overeating and learn how to address them, restoring a healthy relationship between food, our bodies, and God. Each devotional is both challenging and encouraging and includes powerful Scripture verses, inspirational quotes, and a brief prayer. The journey to freedom begins here as you allow God to instruct and renew your mind, comfort your soul, and protect your body.

Job

Trusting God When Suffering Comes Lydia Brownback

Summary

A 10-Week Study of the Book of Job, Great for Women’s Groups

From Job’s beginnings as a wealthy, God-honoring family man, through his time of intense suffering and grief, and finally to the abundant restoration of everything he’d lost, Job’s story helps us learn more about God’s power and purposes even in a world full of pain.

In this 10-week Bible study, Lydia Brownback goes beyond the familiar lessons from the Old Testament book of Job and invites women into an in-depth, exegetical journey through the text. Written for individuals or groups, each lesson explores topics around faith, doubt, and suffering and explains the context of Job in redemptive history. With resources including reading plans and discussion questions, this challenging yet accessible study encourages women to love studying God’s word.

Redeeming Reason A

God-Centered Approach

Vern S. Poythress

Summary

Vern

S. Poythress

Explains the Laws of Human Reasoning and How to Apply Them in Light of the Gospel

Humans use reasoning to understand and order the world around us. We apply this logic in a variety of contexts, from classifying simple objects to considering complex philosophies. But how should our identity as Christians—made in the image of God (Gen. 1:26–27) with minds renewed by the Holy Spirit (Rom. 12:1–2)—inform our reasoning?

Vern S. Poythress explains how all human reasoning reflects God’s nature. Providing a foundational understanding of God as the source of rationality, Poythress details the 3 fundamental laws of logic—identity, contradiction, and excluded middle—with a strong focus on analogical reasoning. This robust guide explains types of analogy, ethics applied to logic, the use of analogies in the doctrines of God, and more to give readers a renewed perspective on how to use reason as a follower of God.

Friendship with God

A

Path

to Deeper Fellowship with the Father, Son, and Spirit Mike McKinley

Summary

Based on John Owen’s Classic Text Communion with God, This Helpful Resource Answers the Question, “What Does It Mean to Be Friends with Jesus?”

In John 15, Jesus says, “I have called you friends.” But what does it mean to be friends with Jesus? In the early 1650s, theologian John Owen attempted to answer this question through a series of sermons, eventually compiled as Communion with God. The book is full of truths about having fellowship with God, but Owen’s work is often a struggle for modern readers to understand.

In Friendship with God, pastor Mike McKinley takes a key idea or insight from Communion with God and clarifies it for readers in each chapter, giving them practical guidance for how to develop fellowship with God—such as obeying the Father’s commands, acknowledgment of sin, and prayer. Perfect for new Christians or for those without a church background, this accessible resource offers an introduction to the God who “wants you to know him and be known by him.”

Personality and Worldview

J. H. Bavinck, James Eglinton, Timothy Keller

Summary

An Examination of Worldview, Worldvision, and the Soul by Dutch Reformed Theologian J. H. Bavinck, Translated into English for the First Time

Modern evangelicals differ on their concept of “worldview.” Many have varying definitions of it and some even consider it to be a wholly unhelpful term in understanding the world around them. This volume by Johan Herman Bavinck examines the relationship between the soul, each human’s unique personality, and worldview—acknowledging the importance of worldview while recognizing the dangers if worldviews are misapplied.

Personality and Worldview by J. H. Bavinck, nephew and student of Dutch Reformed theologian Herman Bavinck, creates a distinction between a worldvision (which all people have) and a worldview (which only few have in a mature and wise way). Profoundly influenced by the works of St. Augustine, Bavinck challenges readers to allow the gospel to reshape their worldviews and their personalities as they pursue godly wisdom. Translated into E...

When these two finally meet sparks are set to fly, as they discover that digging deeper than first impressions reveals the true value of one’s character, and real love and faith is worth far more than gold.

365 Days of Grace Daily devotions for overcoming disappointment and offense BroadStreet Publishing Group LLC

Summary

A person’s wisdom yields patience; it is to one’s glory to overlook an offense.

Proverbs 19:11 NIV

God created us for relationships; they are vital for happy, healthy living. But even the best of friends will disappoint because we are all imperfect, broken humans. At times, the words or actions of others can leave us feeling unloved, betrayed, devalued, or rejected.

God’s grace is abundant in every situation and for all things. He will never let you down, and he will give you what you need to walk through the heartache of a broken relationship as well as the process of mending it.

As you meditate on these daily Scriptures, devotions, and prayers, let the Father guide you in the way you should go—leaving the offense, and loving the offender through the power of his grace. You can choose love and forgiveness because he gave those to you first. Although it might be difficult, and you likely won’t get it right every time, you can rest in the knowledge that his mercies are new every morning. Don...

"Whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father. And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son.”

John 14:13 NIV

Jesus said we can do all that he did in his ministry on earth and even more if we believe in him. This is no small statement! Jesus performed large displays of God’s power through miracles, signs, and wonders. We were never meant to stay small in prayer or in faith. When Jesus said whatever you ask, it included the big, bold prayers that would be impossible to accomplish on our own.

As you read these Scriptures, short devotions, and prayers, pray in Jesus’ name with faith! Take him at his word and ask for greater things. Grow bold in the way you ask him to move in your life and in the world around you. He loves to save, heal, comfort, and amaze.

We catch a glimpse of the glory and goodness of God through answered prayer. He has not stopped ...

This Is the Day 365 Daily Devotions

BroadStreet Publishing Group LLC

Summary

This is the day the Lord has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it.

Psalm 118:24 NLT

Some days are rough. The circumstances of life can be overwhelming, frustrating, or discouraging. Perhaps you’re wondering how this could possibly be a day to rejoice in. Shift your focus a little. What were you doing two hundred years ago? Absolutely nothing. You had never seen the sun, known love or friendship, breathed in the winter air, eaten a delicious meal, or laughed until your sides hurt. You didn’t know about any of these things because you didn’t exist. But now, by God’s grace, you do, and your life is precious. Every single day bears an opportunity to be glad. As you reflect on these devotional entries, Scriptures, and prayers, thank God for giving you another day to live, laugh, and love. He created time; each moment representing a testimony to his goodness. Find an abundance of joy, hope, peace, and strength as you walk through the day with God at your side.

Why Bad Looks Good

Biblical Wisdom to Make Smart Choices in Life, Love, and Friendship Wendy Patrick

Summary

Overcome deception with biblical perception. Have you ever misjudged a situation that appeared desirable but ended in disaster? Have you been betrayed by a friend, coworker, or love interest? We all face challenging, heartbreaking experiences that require us to make important decisions. Unlike worldly advice, God’s advice is perfect.

Why Bad Looks Good uses biblical wisdom to improve your perception of the people and world around you. Using relatable, real-life examples, career prosecutor Dr. Wendy Patrick teaches you how to:

assess people and circumstances clearly and accurately, identify healthy sources of power, surround yourself with trustworthy people, and transform rose-colored glasses into reading glasses.

We are drawn to talent, wealth, and beauty, yet all of those things come from God. Apply his divine wisdom to live peacefully but proactively, compassionately yet carefully, and adopt a fresh, uplifting outlook on life.

Disobedient God

Trusting a God Who Goes Off-Script Albert Tate

Summary

What do you do when God doesn’t give you what you want?

When the people of Israel, those who had witnessed the most abundant and inexplicable acts of God, grew tired of waiting for Moses to come off the mountain, they made a calf of gold. It was easier for them to make a new god than to continue serving a God that didn’t conform to their schedule and expectations.

Just like the Israelites in the desert, we are all fundamentally longing for God… but who and what are we actually reaching for and serving? Disobedient God addresses the things we do when we feel ignored, inconvenienced and frustrated by God. What things are we reaching for in our life? Are we reaching for porn when we long for intimacy? Reaching for success when we long for security? We would never say that we have replaced God, but our actions tell a different story. Whether we are trying to replace God, trying to run away or trying to perform for Him, we have no mindset to deal with a disobedient God. Disobedient God is a b...

Third-Heaven Authority

Discover How to Pray From Heaven's Perspective

Mike Thompson

Summary

What if your whole perception of spiritual authority is wrong?

This book will guide you to walk in the supernatural authority Christ has given you. You will learn how to view life from a heavenly perspective instead of an earthly one so that you avoid all the deceptive traps of the enemy.

After thirty years of ministry, Mike Thompson had an experience that changed his life forever. In 2010, the Holy Spirit caught him up to heaven. He found himself standing before Jesus and His angels. Jesus revealed to him the great love, acceptance, and value He has for those who are new creations in Him. Then he gave Mike an in-depth teaching of spiritual authority from earth’s perspective, which is from below, looking up. In Third-Heaven Authority, Mike shows:

The activities of angels and their involvement in our daily affairs

How angels help us in spiritual warfare against demonic spirits and influences

Next Gen Faith

12 Spiritual Practices for Youth Jeff Grenell

Summary

When the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on earth? (Luke 18:8)

Jesus’s question is one that should bother all Christians. Increasing numbers of people don’t go to church. Only 4 percent of those born between 1998 and 2013 have a biblical worldview. The rest don’t believe in the Bible, absolute moral truth, or a loving, all-powerful Creator. They don’t even believe in the concept of sin.

We have failed. We have not taken to heart the biblical admonishment to pass on our faith from one generation to the next.

Yet youth pastor Jeff Grenell believes that once American teens and young adults discover that God is even more amazing than Stranger Things, “they will be hooked.”

He notes, “Our world is familiar with the supernatural, but the church is foreign to it. If this changes in the church today, we may have one of the best apologetic tools to reach this generation because the supernatural is in the DNA of the church and its message. Most American teenagers and youth culture are drawn to ...

The Little Way Reflections on the Joy of Smallness in God's Infinite Love St. Thérèse of Lisieux

Summary

We want to love God with all our hearts, but we often find ourselves striving in our efforts to please Him, acutely aware of our weaknesses. As our failures pile up, we become frustrated and discouraged.

Have we missed the essence of the gospel? Is there a simple but true way to serve God that can fill us with joy and peace rather than fear and discouragement?

St. Thérèse of Lisieux faced similar struggles. As a young woman who desired to abandon herself to God, she felt daunted at the thought of climbing “the steep stairway of perfection.” Thérèse searched the Scriptures until she discovered a path to freedom she called her “little way.” This is “the way of spiritual childhood, the way of trust and absolute surrender.” It is a recognition that while we are small and imperfect, we have a mighty God who reaches out to us with infinite love, grace, and strength to take care of all our needs.

As Thérèse followed this new path, she considered herself a “little flower” in Jesus’s garden. She u...

Receiving God's Promises

Inheriting Our Earthly and Heavenly Blessings in Christ

Derek Prince

Summary God's Promises for Every Need

God is inviting you on a journey through the land of His promises and provision—the riches of your inheritance in Christ. The process by which you enter into your inheritance is similar to the journey made by the Israelites in the promised land. God gave them a specific way to gain possession of that land: step by step, stage by stage, area by area. He pledged, “Every place on which the sole of your foot treads, I have given it to you” (Joshua 1:3 NASB).

Likewise, as you step into each promise of God—in every area of your life—you will possess that much more of your inheritance as an heir of His kingdom. Every day, we face challenges that can be met through God’s powerful provision. In a very practical way, internationally renowned Bible teacher Derek Prince shows you how to address your difficulties and have your needs supplied by applying the specific promises appropriate for each situation. You can receive the blessings of wisdom, guidance, favor at work...

(800) 320-4108 SUZI WOOLDRIDGE, PRESIDENT: SWOOLDRIDGE@BRIDGELOGOS.COM

King Charles III and the catastrophic last days events prophesied in the Bible.

These are stressful days times in which the Bible says that men’s hearts would fail them for fear of the things that are coming on the earth. Humanity is once again facing the very real threat of nuclear war, as well as catastrophic climate change, and a devastating financial collapse that economists warn could usher in unprecedented worldwide famine.

It is also an age in which much of the secular world has forgotten God. However, with the death of Queen Elizabeth II, multitudes were suddenly reminded of the divine with the strange phrase: “Defender of the Faith.” What does that mean? Why is it so important? What does it have to do with the last day’s biblical “signs of the times?” And what do the many hidden symbols mean, that fill the British Coronation ceremony?

From the moment of birth we are destined to die. Sooner or later it will happen!

When young and fit we don't think about it, though we may attend the funeral of a grandparent. Then, in middle age, we lose our parents. Then it's our turn! But what then?

This short book explains what Jesus tells us and what the Bible reveals about God's wonderful future for those who trust in Christ as their saviour.

For those who refuse His offer of salvation a fearful prospect awaits, but it is never too late to repent and believe the gospel that Christ died for your sin, paying the price so you would not have to.

Don Wilkerson DESCRIPTION

Moses, David, Joseph, Peter, Paul…these are just some of the well-known names of the Bible. They are the subject of countless sermons and stories that have inspired Bible lessons from childhood to adulthood. But Scripture also contains a supporting cast of ordinary men and women often overlooked in Bible study. These lesserknown characters deserve accolades for their contribution to God’s redemptive story.

In a three-part series, Don Wilkerson shares the impact of those less known in the Bible, both named and unnamed. These not-so-familiar characters are brought to life in short but thought-provoking chapters with lessons that remind us that God often uses ordinary people in extraordinary ways to build His kingdom.

For those seeking discipleship material for personal growth, The Impact of Ordinary People will aid individual and small group Bible study. This three-part series is also a helpful resource for pastors and Christian leaders to develop unique and one-of-akind sermons.

Anything but Ordinary Finding Faith That Works When Life Doesn’t

Stephanie Morales-Beaulieu

About the Book:

“Steph,is Mike home?”

Those were the opening words my dad, Jesse Morales, spoke when he called to deliver the three-letter diagnosis that would change everything.

Nothing could have warned me of the news I received that day, but in hindsight something had prepared me for it—something that happened to my dad back in 1986.

Anything But Ordinary is a refreshingly vulnerable real-life story of the broken road that led an ordinary Filipino immigrant and mechanic to a life-changing encounter with Jesus that was anything but ordinary, providing insight into what living by faith looks like when life isn’t working and a spotlight on the legacy of faith my father left behind when he passed away from ALS.

For anyone feeling discouraged and blindsided by life’s difficulties…

For anyone struggling with their humanity who thinks heroes of the faith don’t…

For anyone thirsting for a genuine encounter with a God who is real…

For anyone looking for not a perfect, but a faithful example of following Jesus… For anyone yearning to know perfection isn’t required in order to have impact… There is hope.

This book serves as a powerful reminder that the birthplace of inspiring faith is often the soil of impossible struggle, and when life isn’t working, you can hold onto the God who always is.

—John James, former lead singer and co-founder of the Newsboys

“A catalyst to bring hope to anyone, no matter what they’re going through or have done.”

—Ben Fitzgerald, senior leader of Awakening Europe

Does God really love me? Or is that just something Christians say to make us feel better about ourselves? What would people really think if they knew the things I’ve done behind closed doors? Does my past disqualify my future?

If you’ve ever asked yourself these questions, you aren’t alone.

This is the untold story of Joseph Swan’s life-a raw and honest account of a young man’s struggle growing up in a Christian home, trapped by secrets and plagued by rejection, guilt, fear, and shame.

About the Book:

Each chapter of A Word from His Word focuses on a single word or phrase from a short biblical passage. It is the author’s prayer that by returning to a simplified but effective approach to Bible reading, your daily times with God’s word will be invigorated.

Galatians was written by St. Paul in response to a concern that the church was becoming too legalistic. He implores them to rekindle the experiences of their conversion and not be ignorant of the lessons from scripture. He also encourages them to grasp the promises God has given them. In doing this, Paul seeks to realign the church to the gospel rather than a law-based religion.

As we reflect on the traditions of our churches or our lives, we might perceive similar susceptibilities. Paul’s wisdom to the Galatians thus has relevance today and we can benefit from his teaching in order to remain focused on a Christ-filled, Spirit-led ministry.

Melissa B Kruger, Isobel Lundie

Summary

Keepsake edition of the beautifully illustrated rhyming book that reminds children that whatever they do and wherever they go, Jesus is more important than anyone or anything else.

We all love to dream about what we might do later in life: jobs we might have, places we might go to, people we might meet. And parents and caregivers love to encourage and support their kids.

But for Christian parents, their greatest aspiration is that whatever their kids do and wherever they go, they will love and follow Jesus.

This keepsake edition of the beautiful rhyming book by Melissa Kruger and Isobel Lundie provides the perfect reminder for graduating students that whatever they do and wherever they go, Jesus is more important than anything else.

Includes 16 illustrated pages for writing messages and pasting in photos, plus a pocket for keepsakes in the back. The robust slipcase means you will keep these memories safe for the long term.

As children embark on life’s journey with all their potential and aspirations, use this book to e...

God’s Not Done With You Encouragement from the Bible’s Greatest Comeback Stories

John Meador

Summary

Nine amazing stories of faith that give us hope for our own challenging setbacks.

We all experience setbacks and disappointments in life. Sometimes those setbacks become entire seasons of life. Businesses fail, relationships falter, discouragement and doubts set in and circumstances overwhelm us.

This book uses nine amazing "comeback stories" from the Bible to show how God provides everything needed to get through challenging setbacks.

Rather than showing people overcoming hardship through simple grit, the stories of Moses, David, Abigail, Esther, Joseph, Jonah, Elijah, Hezekiah and Peter tell of extraordinary changes of heart and how God works in all things for the good of those who love him. Readers will be given a new perspective on their struggles and will be encouraged to trust God in them.

Author John Meador uses his 35 years of Bible-teaching ministry, as well as his own experience of suffering permanent hearing loss, to write with faithfulness, compassion and authenticity. He says:

“These stories are real-life events that often brought more drama, heartbreak and...

Say the Right Thing How Your Words Can Glorify God and Encourage Others

Carolyn Lacey

Summary

How the gospel can help you speak in a positive, constructive way.

Words are powerful. They sink deep into our minds and our spirits. They can build others up or put others down. Many of us want to “say the right thing” and make a difference to others with our words, but we don't know how to. Others of us struggle to control our speech and want help to be more godly in this area of our lives.

This positive, constructive book delves into the Bible to show us how to overcome specific temptations, such as gossip or angry words. But it also goes much further. It shows us how we can use our speech to bring beauty, hope, truth and comfort into the lives of those around us—and to give glory to God.

Full of gracious words and practical help, this book will help readers to find out how to let the gospel shape their speech and enjoy the blessings that flow from this.

The Ways of God, Updated Edition

How God Reveals Himself Before a Watching World Richard Blackaby

Summary

In this updated edition of bestselling book, The Ways of God, Richard Blackaby further discusses how the ways of God reflect His nature and glory.

Have you ever wondered how God is at work in this world? How is God accomplishing His purposes and revealing His will to His people, ever molding them into the holy people He wants them to be?

In this updated edition of the bestselling book by Dr. Henry Blackaby, his son, Richard Blackaby, discusses how Christians might approach understanding the ways of God, holding in tension the glory of His work that is too great for the mind to behold. God’s ways reflect His nature and glory, contrasting how they are different from the ways of man and are constant and consistent with His Word. God is working to call His people into holiness and into a deeper relationship with Him. Eternal and mysterious are the ways of God!

Mind

the Gap

Leading Your Church to Agility and Effectiveness in Any Environment

Clint Grider

Summary

In Mind The Gap, Clint Grider offers a thoughtful and practical approach to leading one’s church to improving its effectiveness in furthering the Gospel.

The traps ministry leaders fall into are many. If every seat is filled during a service, one might assume that what they are doing is working and people’s lives are being changed. If classrooms are packed, one might be tempted to think that their people are fully involved in what is happening at their church, but is attendance a trustworthy metric for evaluating the health of the church?

In Mind The Gap, Clint Grider offers a thoughtful and practical approach to answering the deeper question that plagues many pastors’ minds: “Is what I’m doing actually working?” Clint offers an approach through the extended metaphor of the underground railway system found in the United Kingdom to connect many of the “gaps” that exist in ministry.

Pastoring Small Towns

Help and Hope for Those Ministering in Smaller Places

Ronnie Martin, Donnie Griggs

Summary

In this book, Ronnie Martin and Donnie Griggs equip, empower, and encourage pastors that are taking on the task of pastoring in a small town.

Small town life is quite different from life in a big city. There is not as much traffic. People recognize each other at the grocery store. Local sporting events carry a different cultural weight, and it may not be out of the ordinary to wait behind a tractor or get used to the smell of a nearby factory. These communities are unique, and pastoring here is an extraordinary task.

Ronnie Martin and Donnie Griggs are well-aware of this reality. In Pastoring Small Towns, their hope is to equip pastors and ministry leaders to take on the different nuances that come with pastoring smaller communities. They point out the cultural realities of these places and give pastors the tools to effectively engage their people with the Gospel.

Buying a haunted house was never in Ashley Scott's plans, but when an intriguing opportunity drops into her lap after a major setback, she finds herself trekking crosscountry to Hope Harbor on the Oregon coast to launch a new life.

Wounded warrior Jonathan Gray isn't sure what to make of the attractive woman on his reclusive older neighbor's isolated property, but her presence is none of his business--until she enlists his help with an ambitious project.

Yet, as these three hurting people join forces to restore life, laughter, and love to a historic estate that has known too much sadness, they may also find healing, hope, and happiness for themselves.

Bestselling author Irene Hannon invites you back to Hope Harbor, where hearts heal and love blooms.

Listen to Your Day

The Life-Changing Practice of Paying Attention Paul Angone

Summary

Bestselling author and personal development coach shows you how to pay attention to the seemingly insignificant details of your life so that you can trade drifting, searching, and yearning for purposeful living, knowing both what's important to you and what you're working toward.

What are you supposed to do with your life? What deserves your limited reserve of energy, attention, and time? What's making you anxious or frustrated right now? What would make you happy and fulfilled?

The world is shouting its answers to these questions, but the real answers are quieter--and right in front of you. They are in the details of your day, every day. But we usually look right past them. Or we are simply so distracted we've lost the ability to see and hear the life going on right in front of us. If we're not intentional about changing this trend, this "inattentional blindness" can rob us of years of joyful productivity. But when we learn to observe the details of our days, we discover new lenses through which to see and new practices of paying attention that add meaning to life.

Stop drifting. Stop worrying. Stop living distracted. Walk purposefully through life with a firm grasp on what's important to you and what you're working toward--all by listening to the details of you...

She Deserves Better Raising Girls to Resist Toxic Teachings on Sex, Self, and Speaking Up

Sheila Wray Gregoire, Rebecca Gregoire Lindenbach,

Joanna Sawatsky

Summary

This research-based, biblically informed book helps moms reject harmful teachings from the church about sexuality in order to raise strong, independent daughters who know who they are, use their voices, and confidently step into the lives God designed for them.

What if the goal of raising a Christian girl was about more than keeping her virginity intact? What if it was about raising a strong, independent young woman who knows who she is, uses her voice, and confidently steps into the life God has for her?

From the authors of The Great Sex Rescue comes this evidence-based book grounded on surveys of over 28,000 women to offer moms a fresh, freeing, and biblically grounded message of sexuality and self-worth for their daughters that is less about the don'ts and more about the dos.

This isn't your average parenting book: no pat answers or overly broad principles here. No cliché prescriptives or toxic teachings that your daughter will have to unpack and recover from as an adult, like so many of us have. Instead, you'll find data-driven insights about how to raise a woman who is resilient, knows her strength, and has the discernment skills needed to make good choices. By reframing (and sometimes replacing) common evangelical messages to teen girls, ...

The Toxic War on Masculinity

How Christianity Reconciles the Sexes

Nancy R. Pearcey

Summary

Bestselling author and cultural commentator explores the history of masculinity, the rise of the "toxic masculinity" conversation, and the paradigm-shifting sociological evidence showing that Christianity provides a better blueprint--and better real-world outcomes--when it comes to solving the probl...

"Why Can't We Hate Men?" asks a headline in the Washington Post. A trendy hashtag is #KillAllMen. Books are sold titled I Hate Men, The End of Men, and Are Men Necessary?

How did the idea arise that masculinity is dangerous and destructive? Bestselling author Nancy Pearcey leads you on a fascinating excursion through American history to discover why the script for masculinity turned toxic--and how to fix it.

Pearcey then turns to surprising findings from sociology. Religion is often cast as a cause of domestic abuse. But research shows that authentically committed Christian men test out as the most loving and engaged husbands and fathers. They have the lowest rates of divorce and domestic violence of any group in America.

Yes, domestic abuse is an urgent issue, and Pearcey does not mince words in addressing it. But the sociological facts explode the negative stereotypes and show that Christianity has the power to overcome toxic behavior in men and reconcile the sexes--an unexpected findin...

Words with God

Trading Boring, Empty Prayer for Real Connection

Addison D. Bevere

Summary

With conviction and biblical depth this rising thought leader and popular speaker invites you on a pathway of prayer and simple spiritual practices that will bring the fractured pieces of your life back together.

For most of us, prayer is a struggle. We know we should pray. It would be good for us--help us be more grounded, more connected to God. But in our hurried lives, slowing down to pray can feel like a cosmic waste of time. Do our prayers even matter? What, if anything, happens when we pray? Are we having words with God or just words with ourselves?

In this thoughtful book, Addison Bevere takes you into and through the tension of prayer--the struggles, the doubts, the answers--to the place where God makes himself real to you.

Tired of boring, empty, transactional prayer? This is the book for you.

"Addison's book takes us through our desires for prayer, our disappointments in prayer, and the profound deeper plan of God for our prayers. This is the book you'll return to again and again."--Mark Batterson, New York Times bestselling author of The Circle Maker, lead pastor of National Community Church in Washington, D.C.

Right Where You Belong

How to Identify and Fully Occupy Your God-Given Space

Heather MacFadyen, Candace Bure

Summary

Popular podcaster offers a refreshing new perspective on embracing the purpose and place God has given you, allowing you to serve effectively, let go of what you can't control, and follow his direction for your unique calling.

Most lifestyle books for women are saying one of two things: "Hustle!" or "Slow down!" We are either prodded into endless activity and productivity or told that what we really need is to prioritize rest, relaxation, and simply "being." Is it any wonder we feel torn in every direction, worried we're missing the opportunities God has placed before us while at the same time feeling guilty that we're doing too much?

Into this confusion comes Heather MacFadyen's empowering message to simply occupy your God-given space--a Hebrew definition of humility. God has given you talents and a sphere of influence. Your role is to fill that space, empowered by the Holy Spirit. In this book, Heather presents four boundary lines to help you identify your unique God-given space and shows you how to evaluate your next steps with confident peace so that you can stop feeling exhausted and guilty and start feeling fulfilled.

It's time to replace FOMO, inadequacy, and hustle culture with the satisfaction that co...

The Life of Jesus Like You've Never Imagined

Jesus asked His disciples, "Who do you say I am?" It's a question that still needs an answer today. With deft, insightful, and humorous strokes, award-winning biographer Jared Brock weaves archaeology, philosophy, history, and theology to create a portrait of Jesus we've never seen before.

This is a groundbreaking biography about the historical Jesus we don't usually think about: The child refugee. The "carpenter" who most likely worked with stone. The adult who walked at least 21,525 miles in His lifetime and yet never tasted tomatoes or potatoes. The itinerant rabbi whose real name wasn't Jesus. The political revolutionary whose brutal murder was secretly masterminded by a power-hungry mafia family.

More than a fascinating biography, A God Named Josh seeks to illuminate Jesus of Nazareth from new perspectives, grounded in history, that will surprise Christians and atheists alike.

What Does It Mean to Truly Worship the Lord?

Worship is central to our relationship with God. Yet it is more than just singing in church on Sunday morning and going through the motions. God himself shows us examples of true worship in the Bible.

Knowing the importance and power of worshiping God, A.W. Tozer preached on the topic regularly throughout his life. Here, for the first time in print, are his thoughts on what it really means to praise and honor God for who He is. Digging into Scripture, Tozer reveals how understanding God's character directly impacts and deepens both our worship of Him and our relationship with Him.

Unlock the Force of Hope in Life's Hardest Fights

Imagine the tide turning on your greatest challenges and problems. In a gritty and unique take on the story of Job, Benjamin Windle shows that flourishing does not come from a life devoid of loneliness, trauma, and anxiety. It's one lived with hope engineered for adversity.

Along with Job's story, he pulls from J. R. R. Tolkien's fascinating concept of "eucatastrophe," showing that your greatest good starts at your point of deepest pain. True hope is not hype. It's not pretending that everything is fine. Hardship, not perfection, is the starting point of hope.

Discover the secret to weathering life's storms, learn how to rise above daily imperfections, find out how to survive crises and come out better, and gain an ultimate perspective on every challenge you face in life.

Testimony

Inside the Evangelical Movement That Failed a Generation Jon Ward

Summary

A journalist recounts his upbringing and eventual break from an influential evangelical church to diagnose broader political and cultural issues.

Jon Ward's life is divided in half: two decades inside the evangelical Christian bubble and two decades outside of it.

In Testimony, Ward tells the engaging story of his upbringing in, and eventual break from, an influential evangelical church in the 1980s and 1990s. Ward sheds light on the evangelical movement's troubling political and cultural dimensions, tracing the ways in which the Jesus People movement was seduced by materialism and other factors to become politically captive rather than prophetic.

A respected journalist, Ward asks uncomfortable but necessary questions, calling those inside and outside conservative Christian circles to embrace truth, complexity, and nuance. Ultimately, he longs for a return to the way, the truth, and the life of Christ.

Ward's experience and reflections will resonate with many readers who grew up in the evangelical movement as well as all those who have an interest in the health of the church and its impact on American life.

John Goldingay is one of the most prolific and creative Old Testament scholars working today. In this book he draws on the best of biblical scholarship as well as the Christian tradition to offer a substantive and useful commentary on Joshua.

Christianity and Critical Race Theory

A Faithful and Constructive Conversation

Robert Chao Romero, Jeff M. Liou

Summary

Critical race theory is often poorly understood and unfavorably characterized. This accessibly written book offers a critical yet sympathetic introduction, bringing critical race theory into conversation with Christian theology and ministry practice.

Critical race theory has become a lightning rod in contemporary American politics and evangelical Christianity. This irenic book offers a critical but constructive and sympathetic introduction written from a perspective rooted in Scripture and Christian theology. The authors take us beyond caricatures and misinformation to consider how critical race theory can be an analytical tool to help us understand persistent inequality and injustice--and to see how Christians and churches working for racial justice can engage it in faithful and constructive ways.

The authors explore aspects of critical race theory that resonate with well-trod Christian doctrine but also that challenge or are corrected by Christian theology. They also address the controversial connection that critics see between critical race theory and Marxism. Their aim is to offer objective analysis and critique that go beyond the debates about social identity and the culture wars and aid those who are engaging the issues in Chr...

Jesus the Purifier

John's Gospel and the Fourth Quest for the Historical Jesus Craig L. Blomberg

Summary

A leading New Testament scholar explains that a fourth quest for the historical Jesus is underway, one that highlights the contribution of the Gospel of John and recognizes Jesus as Purifier.

The third quest for the historical Jesus has reached an impasse. But a fourth quest is underway--one that draws from a heretofore largely neglected source: John's Gospel.

In this book, renowned New Testament scholar Craig Blomberg advances the idea that John is a viable and valuable source for studying the historical Jesus. The data from John should be integrated with that of the Synoptics, which will yield additional insights into Jesus's emphases and ministry. Blomberg begins by reviewing the first three quests, reassessing both their contributions and their shortcomings. He then discusses the emerging consensus regarding demonstrably historical portions of John, which are more numerous than usually assumed. Peeling back the layers, we discover in Jesus's ministry an emphasis on purity and purification. The Synoptics corroborate this discovery, specifically in Jesus's meals with sinners. Blomberg then explores the practical and contemporary applications of Jesus the purifier, includin...

The Lord's Prayer

Matthew 6 and Luke 11 for the Life of the Church

William M. IV Wright, Stephen Chapman

Summary

Offers an exposition of the Lord's Prayer, showing how this classic and beloved text can speak afresh to the life of the church today.

Since the beginning of Christianity, the Lord's Prayer has occupied an important place in the lives of Jesus's disciples, for it is the prayer Jesus himself taught them. Like other biblical prayers, the Lord's Prayer contains words people offer to God. But since this prayer is from Jesus and is part of Scripture, it is also God's Word to people. When we say this prayer, not only are we speaking to God, but God is also speaking to us.

Highly regarded New Testament scholar William Wright shows how this classic text can speak afresh to the life of the church today. He integrates critical exegesis, theological exposition, and Christian spirituality to explicate the theological substance of the Lord's Prayer. His goal is to help readers come to know God and love God and others more deeply through a focused study of this important Christian prayer.

The Touchstone Texts series addresses key Bible passages, making high-quality biblical scholarship accessible to the church. The series editor is S...

Abundantly More

The Theological Promise of the Arts in a Reductionist World Jeremy

S. Begbie

Summary

In a culture that so often seems to shrink and flatten our vision, reducing the world to mere atoms and us to mere things, the arts can break our imaginations open. A worldrenowned theologian helps us see this world and ourselves as infinitely more than we could ever imagine: as created and redeeme...

Late modern culture has been marred by reductionism, which shrinks and flattens our vision of ourselves and the world. Renowned theologian Jeremy Begbie believes that the arts by their nature push against reductionism, helping us understand and experience more deeply the infinite richness of God's love and of the world God has made.

In Abundantly More, Begbie analyzes and critiques reductionism and its effects. He then shows how the arts can resist reductive impulses by opening us up to an unlimited abundance of meaning. Finally, he suggests how engaging the arts in light of a trinitarian imagination (which itself cuts against reductionism) may be a unique way of witnessing to and sharing in the life and purposes of God.

Theologians, artists, and any who are interested in how these fields intersect will find rich resources here and discover the crucial role the arts can play in keeping our culture open to the possibility of God.

God the Creator

The Old Testament and the World God Is Making Ben

C. Ollenburger

Summary

A highly-respected scholar captures the Old Testament's celebration of God the Creator and the Creator's relentless efforts to bring the world into harmony with God's intentions.

Christians today are focused on two important creation topics: how the world came to be and how we should care for it. A highly respected Old Testament theologian recommends that before discussing these questions, we focus on God the Creator and God's ongoing work in creation. We should explore what the Bible tells us and let the text set the agenda for our reflections.

Combining his storytelling gift with rigorous biblical exegesis and deep reflection, Ben Ollenburger describes the action of God the Creator as presented throughout the Old Testament. He shows how creation is about more than origins. It is about God acting against the hostile forces of chaos that can be historical, political, and military. About how God created a well-ordered world, and how human transgression ruptures God's relationship with humans and threatens creation. About how God responds as Creator to those threats by disturbing and reordering the disorder, bringing about what God intended--a world ordered in the...

Union with the Resurrected Christ

Eschatological New Creation and New Testament Biblical Theology G. K. Beale

Summary

This sequel to G. K. Beale's bestselling A New Testament Biblical Theology fleshes out nineteen significant theological realities and benefits of the believer's union with the resurrected Christ.

Union with Christ is an important theological and practical concept that has received considerable attention in recent years. But not much consideration has been given to this union and its benefits in light of Jesus's resurrection and ascension.

In this follow-up to his monumental A New Testament Biblical Theology, G. K. Beale summarizes and expands on that work with an eye to fleshing out the theological implications of the resurrection and ascension. Beale explains that Christ's resurrection and ascension place him as the beginning of the eschatological fulfillment of the new creational kingdom. Specifically, Christ is the fulfillment of a cluster of nineteen Old Testament end-time expectations. These eschatological realities attributed to Christ are imprinted on believers through their dynamic union and identification with him. Through careful exegesis, Beale explores these facets and deliberately draws out important practical applications for everyday Christian living in the overla...

Summary

A respected theologian offers a theological reading of Galatians in this addition to the Brazos Theological Commentary on the Bible.

The Brazos Theological Commentary on the Bible advances the assumption that the Nicene creedal tradition, in all its diversity, provides the proper basis for the interpretation of the Bible as Christian scripture. The series volumes, written by leading theologians, encourage readers to explore how the vital roots of the ancient Christian tradition inform and shape faithfulness today.

In this addition to the series, respected theologian Kathryn Greene-McCreight offers a theological reading of Galatians. As with other volumes in the series, this commentary is designed to serve the church, providing a rich resource for preachers, teachers, students, and study groups. It demonstrates the continuing intellectual and practical viability of theological interpretation of the Bible.

In this new paperback edition, join Adam Hamilton in searching for the whole truth by comparing common Christian clichés to the message and ministry of Jesus including: - Everything happens for a reason. - God helps those who help themselves. - God won’t give you more than you can handle. - God said it, I believe it, that settles it. - Love the sinner, hate the sin.

Pentecost may well be the most misconstrued day on the church calendar. A long legacy of cessationism has drained Pentecost of much of its significance, and it's largely misunderstood in many Western churches today, if not outright ignored.

That's not the case in Emilio Alvarez's tradition, though. In this Fullness of Time volume, the Pentecostal bishop and theologian offers us a rich biblical and theological introduction to the day of Pentecost and sets it in its liturgical context—not only in the Protestant tradition but also in Catholic, Orthodox, and Pentecostal expressions. The result is a rich theological feast and an invitation to find afresh the power of the gospel for all peoples.

Each volume in the Fullness of Time series invites readers to engage with the riches of the church year, exploring the traditions, prayers, Scriptures, and ritual...

On Getting Out of Bed

The Burden and Gift of Living

Alan Noble

Summary

For most people, sorrow, anxiety, and mental illness are everyday experiences. The burden of living comes down to mundane choices that we each must make—like the daily choice to get out of bed.

We aren't always honest about how difficult normal human life is.

For the majority of people, sorrow, despair, anxiety, and mental illness are everyday experiences. While we have made tremendous advancements in therapy and psychiatry, the burden of living still comes down to mundane choices that we each must make—like the daily choice to get out of bed.

In this deeply personal essay, Alan Noble considers the unique burden of everyday life in the modern world. Sometimes, he writes, the choice to carry on amid great suffering—to simply get out of bed—is itself a powerful witness to the goodness of life, and of God.

Non-Toxic Masculinity

Recovering Healthy Male Sexuality

Zachary Wagner

Summary

"Boys will be boys" and purity culture sell the same excuses with a different spin. Can we break the toxic cycle and recover a healthy identity for men? Confronting harmful teaching from the American church that has distorted desire, sex, relationships, and responsibility, Zachary Wagner offers a re...

Dismissals such as "boys will be boys" and "not all men" are ingrained in our world. And the purity culture of our youth sold the same excuses with a spiritual spin. Can we break the toxic cycle and recover a healthy identity for men?

In Non-Toxic Masculinity, Zachary Wagner tells men, "If you are in Christ, this is your problem—and you should be part of the solution."

Reflecting on his own coming of age in the purity culture movement and ongoing recovery from sexual shame, Wagner confronts harmful teaching from the American church that has distorted desire, sex, relationships, and responsibility. For those—both men and women—who feel disillusioned and adrift, this book offers a renewed vision for Christian male sexuality founded in empathy and selflessness.

Carpe Diem Redeemed

Seizing the Day, Discerning the Times Os Guinness

Summary

How do we make the most of the time we have?

You only live once—if then. Life is short, and it can be as easily wasted as lived to the full. In our harried modern world, how do we make the most of the time we have?

In these fast and superficial times, Os Guinness calls us to consequential living. As a contrast to both Eastern and secularist views of time, he restructures our very notion of history as linear and purposeful, not as cyclical or meaningless. In the JudeoChristian tradition, time and history are meaningful, and human beings have agency to live with freedom and consequence in partnership with God. Thus we can seek to serve God's intentions for our generation and discern our call for this moment.

Our time on earth has significance. Live rightly, discern the times, and redeem the day.

The church has too often lost its way in reading the Old Testament for lack of sound principles of interpretation. When careless habits get us off track, we can lose sight of what the Bible is really saying, derailing our own spiritual growth and even risking discredit to God’s word.

We need a consistent approach to give us confidence as faithful interpreters. In Wisdom for Faithful Reading, the trusted Old Testament scholar John Walton lays out his tried-and-true best practices developed over four decades in the classroom. His principles are memorable, practical, and enlightening, including:

The Bible is written for us, but not to us.

Reading the Bible instinctively is not reliable and risks imposing a foreign perspective on the text.

More important than what the characters do is what the narrator does with the characters and what God is doing through the characters.

Not everything has a "biblical view."

Along with identifying common missteps, Walton's insights point the way to stay focused...

What should the Christian life look like? What vision does Scripture cast for living as a follower of Christ?

The New Testament scholar Jarvis Williams considers how Paul's letter to the Galatians can inform our understanding of the Christian life here and now as well as into eternity. What emerges from this careful study is a multifaceted vision of God's saving action in Jesus Christ for both Jew and Gentile, in both the vertical relationship between God and humanity as well as the horizontal relationships among people—with cosmic ramifications.

Through Paul's instructions and Williams's interpretation, Christians can learn the importance of walking by the Spirit.

Bulwarks of Unbelief

Atheism and Divine Absence in a Secular Age

Joseph Minich, Carl R. Trueman

Summary

How modernity creates atheists�and what the church must do about it.

Millions of people in the West identify as atheists. Christians often respond to this reality with proofs of God's existence, as though rational arguments for atheism were the root cause of unbelief. In Bulwarks of Unbelief, Joseph Minich argues that a felt absence of God, as experienced by the modern individual, offers a better explanation for the rise in atheism. Recent technological and cultural shifts in the modern West have produced a perceived challenge to God's existence. As modern technoculture reshapes our awareness of reality and belief in the invisible, it in turn amplifies God's apparent silence. In this new context, atheism is a natural result. And absent of meaning from without, we have turned within.

Christians cannot escape this aspect of modern life. Minich argues that we must consciously and actively return to reality. If we reattune ourselves to God's story, reintegrate the whole person, and reinhabit...

Job: Evangelical Biblical Theology Commentary Barry G. Webb

Summary

Job reveals a God we can trust, even in our darkest moments.

Barry G. Webb explores the book of Job as a reflection on the paradox of righteous suffering. Job confronts the troubling issues that life throws at us as we try to live in trusting obedience to God. Wisdom shows us how to live in relation to God when we don't have answers for all of life's problems. With detailed exegesis and biblicaltheological synthesis, Webb explores Job's unique theology of creation, evil, wisdom, justice, redemption, and God's character, tracing these themes across the canon.

The Evangelical Biblical Theology Commentary (EBTC) series locates each biblical book within redemptive history and illuminates its unique theological contributions. All EBTC volumes feature informed exegetical treatment of the biblical book and thorough discussion of its most important theological themes in relation to the canon�all in a style that is useful and accessible to students of Scripture.
