Soul Deep Beauty
$16.99Add to cartWe Are Being Lied To
It’s time to get honest with ourselves. Culture’s beauty standards are messed up. We all know it, and we all think we can resist the pull to look a certain way. Yet most of us–our daughters and nieces too–still strive for a broken kind of beauty and feel I’m. not. good. enough.

She also realized that true, soul-deep beauty is not impossible–it abounds in us and all around us. And now Melissa’s on a mission to help you
* uncover the hidden damage cultural lies about beauty have on your mind and soul

* walk away from shame and striving
* love yourself–and others–unconditionallyTrue beauty is the fullness of life we are longing for. It’s the reality that blows our minds, affirms our true worth, and invites us into an adventure that meets our deepest longings. And it’s true beauty that will save us if we open our eyes to it.

Love Is Never Lost
$16.99Add to cartGrief is an intimate, personal pain that is often hard to discuss, even years after loss. For some of us, grief begins before a loved one passes as we watch their health deteriorate before our eyes.
For Tori Parris, grief grew in waves that hit suddenly and hard. It began with a little nagging feeling that something was wrong one evening when her daddy didn’t finish his spaghetti, his favorite meal. His strawberry cheesecake sat untouched. He reassured Tori that he was fine, that he just didn’t have much of an appetite, but over the next few weeks, he hardly ate a thing. Her momma finally demanded that they go to the doctor’s office.
After some tests, they heard the dreaded “c” word. Pancreatic cancer. And it had spread to other organs.
In Love Is Never Lost: Standing Strong in Faith While Grieving, Tori shares her profound journey of holding on to faith while dealing with loss. “My faith was challenged, deconstructed, and rebuilt stronger,” she says.
Tori offers words of comfort to those who are preparing for a loss, experiencing loss, or seeking to better understand the pain a loved one is going through. She provides suggestions for coping with grief as well as prayers that guide one spiritually through the grieving process.
“One day, we will all come face to face with the certainty of our mortality,” Tori writes. “It is my sincerest hope that by reading the pages of this book, you receive hope for the journey.”

Valuable : Why Your Worth Is Not Defined By How Useful You Feel
$15.99Add to cartWe all want to be useful to God, but often we feel that we’re not, or, because of illness or other difficulties, that we can’t be as active as we’d like to be. Liz Carter wants to rescue us from the spiral of feeling useless that we get caught in, and to show us that being useful isn’t what Christianity is about. In fact, the Bible barely talks about God using people at all.
Weaving together insightful scriptural analysis and beautifully told stories, Liz takes us on a journey to see what the Bible really says about weakness, identity and God’s purposes for us: helping us to see ourselves and our relationship with God in an entirely different and much more glorious way. Readers will discover that our purpose as Christians is not about being useful but about being known by God and enjoying him.
This book is particularly helpful for those struggling with long-term physical or mental illness, but it’s also a great encouragement to Christians who feel that they are not good enough or useful enough to God for other reasons.
Questions at the end of each chapter make this a helpful resource to read with a friend or in groups.

Afterwork : An Honest Discussion About The Retirement Lie And How To Live A
$19.99Add to cartEnjoy having 10 powerful disciplines and practical applications you can easily use to break free of an unfulfilling retirement and step forward into a new, remarkably fulfilling season-regardless of how you’ve defined “work.” Afterwork is a healthy and hopeful approach to retirement -and it may be different than conventional wisdom.
Our society declares that a self-focused, uber-comfortable, and vacation-minded retirement is what we want. That retirement is mostly a financial problem to be solved. What could possibly go wrong with double the free time and less structure in your life? But, this is where we go wrong. The retirement lie says that a successful retirement is an endless vacation based on financial security, but this way of thinking is a down payment toward purposelessness and disappointment. Afterwork:
*Exposes the retirement lie
*Explores the 10 key disciplines to avoid a destiny of disillusionment
*Opens you to a life of purpose and meaningThe afterwork mindset and its disciplines are applicable to anyone. Perhaps you’re leaving a traditional career. Your children are grown and gone. Maybe you’ve sold your business. Harder still, you may be navigating the unfathomable passing of a loved one. Preparing for and living well through these tectonic shifts requires serious reflection, intentional thinking and healthy mindsets. That’s afterwork, and its quest for you is to thrive in the most impactful, purposeful season of your life, whether you’re 45 or 75.
How Does Afterwork Help?
Afterwork is an honest discussion about the “retirement lie” and a guide to living a future worthy of God’s plan for you. Afterwork will help you:
*Sidestep the loaded word “retire” in favor of a purposeful new season
*Realize you’re not a “has been”-you are the strongest, most impactful version of you yet
*Cope with the reality vs. the daydream of the afterwork life and start thriving
*Avoid the traps of the retirement “sugar rush” and “retirement drift”
*Shift your focus from money and “happiness” to meaning and impact
*And more!You’re more than the pile of money and assets in your retirement account-you’re a living, breathing person and one with a lot of life yet to live! If you want to experience your post-career season in the most purposeful and impactful way possible, this is the book for you. Who will you be afterwork?

People Specialist : Biblical Solutions For Real-Life Relationships
$16.99Add to cartFor better or worse, people will define the quality of your life and your future. Everything has to do with people–and how we respond to them. In many of our endeavors, people are the single most important factor in our sense of well-being and happiness.
Yet, even though we depend on the influence, cooperation, knowledge, and affirmation of others–and others depend on us–we are rarely taught how to understand and effectively relate to our family members, friends, coworkers, and others we encounter each day.
In the ideal world, people value each other and nobody judges anyone else, our families are loving and supportive, and we forgive those who offend us. But in the real world, it often isn’t that way. Friends gossip about us, enemies try to undermine us, those who should love us may abandon us, and we sometimes hold on to resentments for years.
When problems or issues arise in relationships, we fall back on our emotions or past patterns of dealing with conflict. We withdraw from other people or lash out at them.
That’s why we need to develop the art of being a People Specialist. International speaker Tiago Brunet has spent years researching and teaching others how to become experts in real-life relationships. In People Specialist, he explains:
*How to be intentional about building strong relationships in all arenas of life
*The three spheres of friendship: strategic, necessary, and close
*How to manage unavoidable and avoidable relationships
*The elements that lead to a strong and lasting marriage
*How understanding ourselves enables us to cultivate positive relationships
*How to see ourselves as others see us
*How to implement a program of personal development and success
*Time-tested biblical principles for connecting to others and resolving conflicts
*How to see the best in others and invest in themWith humor, frankness, and energy, Brunet shows how anyone can become a People Specialist, transforming their own life and the lives of those around them.

Impact Of Ordinary People
$10.99Add to cartMoses, 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 lesser-known 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-a-kind sermons.

Confessions Of A Christian Spinster
$17.99Add to cartEncourages, challenges, and orients singles and ministry leaders to the role of the unmarried in church
Being single in today’s church often feels like a waiting game. You’re put on hold in ministry, service, even spiritual growth until you say “I do,” and you’re either pitied or not seen at all.
Unlike today’s church, God is not mystified by the pres-ence of unmarried Christ-followers in the pews. In fact, he has masterful plans for those without rings on their fingers. Alisha Plummer points out how God is eager to empower them with purpose and passion.
In Confessions of a Christian Spinster, Alisha explores God’s design specifically for Christian singlehood through amusing tales and scripturally based truths. She tackles the difficult questions the church often ignores, like: Where do I fit in? Does the church even want me? Has God forgotten about me? What happens if I never get married? Further, she confronts the church, calling for an adjustment to its couple-centric culture, and asking Christians to understand that their single brothers and sisters are not only valued by God but integral to his kingdom.
Singles will feel seen through Alisha’s words; they’ll be encouraged to seize their role in the church and inspire their pastoral staff to reinvent their culture on singleness. Confessions of a Christian Spinster is a powerful resource for those seeking to live and thrive in a perplexed church-and a way forward for the church itself.

It isn’t confined to those who have failed or gone through trauma or who have been told as children they would never amount to anything.

Everyone experiences emotions-some easy, some difficult. Dealing with them should be common sense, and yet it isn’t.

Dont Look Back
$28.99Add to cartMoving on is not a one-time decision. It’s a way of living
There are times in life when we look back and feel desperate to make time stand still, particularly when we get blindsided by unexpected changes. But we can’t stop the flow of life, and we can’t stop time. What’s more, looking back doesn’t enable us to go back. More often than not, it just makes us stuck. In a place. In a space. In a memory. In a mindset. In a habit.In John 17:32, Jesus drops three little words: Remember Lot’s wife. We don’t know her name, history, or story. All we know is that when she was fleeing Sodom and Gomorrah, she was told not to look back, and she did the one thing she was asked not to do. She looked back and turned into a pillar of salt. And out of the 170 women referred to in the Scriptures, she’s the only one Jesus told us to remember.
With a rallying cry to Remember Lot’s wife, Bible teacher, international speaker, activist, and bestselling author Christine Caine motivates us to stop looking back, to get unstuck and to keep moving forward into God’s promises and purpose for our lives.
We may not know all God’s plans for us. We may not know where we are going, how long it will take us, or what we will encounter along the way, but with the strategies Christiane Caine gives, we can move on from where we are to where God wants us to be. In this new book, Christine will motivate you to:
*stop looking back and start looking to Jesus;
*invite Jesus in to help you get unstuck from the many places we often find ourselves;
*move on from where you are into all God’s plans, purposes, and promises for your life; and
*look forward to the future and keep moving toward it in faith–especially when your world is nothing like it once was.
Jesus is beckoning us onward into the newness of what lies ahead. Stop disqualifying yourself by getting stuck in the past. It’s time to remember Lot’s wife and not look back but move forward boldly.

God Named Josh
$19.99Add to cartAgain and again, Jesus asked his disciples, “Who do you say I am?” It is a question that still demands an answer from each of us today.

The “carpenter” who actually probably worked with stone. The adult who walked at least 21,525 miles during his lifetime; ate bread, fish, and figs; but never tasted corn, tomatoes, or potatoes. The itinerant rabbi who was brutally murdered by a Jewish mafia family.
