Raising Confident Kids In A Confusing World
$14.99Add to cartAs kids grow up, they hear many conflicting messages about how they can define themselves. For example, they are told that they can define themselves by their achievements, popularity, sexuality, morality or gender, or by how they feel.
This warm, realistic and sympathetic book, written by father of three and founder of Faith in Kids, Ed Drew, provides much needed biblical help for parents on this topic. It shows parents how to encourage their kids to find their identity in the fact that they are made and loved by Jesus, and it explores the implications and applications of this truth.
Whether they are happy or anxious, whether they have messed up or achieved great things, children will gain a positive and realistic view of themselves, based on God’s amazing love for them, giving them confidence to live by faith in a secular world.
The foundational principles in this book mean it is ideal to read in advance of or during the early stages of parenting, but it is a useful resource at any stage of a child’s life.

Authentic Worship : The Path To Greater Unity With God
$16.99Add to cartWhat 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.
The worship we begin here on earth should have its roots in heaven–and how we worship today will prepare us to worship God Almighty throughout eternity.

She Deserves Better
$29.99Add to cartWhat 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 cliche 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, this book will equip you to raise a girl who can navigate the difficult waters of growing up while still clinging tight to the God who created her on purpose, for a purpose.

Listen To Your Day
$17.99Add to cartWhat 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 your day.

Right Where You Belong
$29.99Add to cartMost 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 comes from owning the space we’ve been assigned. Right Where You Belong helps you get there.

She Speaks Fire
Original price was: $29.99.$17.97Current price is: $17.97.Add to cartLeader of the popular women’s ministry She Speaks Fire, Mariela Rosario shares her story of abandonment and drug use to emphasize her powerful message of overcoming shame so that readers can embrace their purpose and live boldly in the love of Jesus.
In She Speaks Fire, spoken word poet Mariela Rosario vulnerably shares her testimony of being abandoned as a child, which led to intense people pleasing and subsequent drug use. Then, alone in her house in 2015, she experienced a miraculous encounter with God that prompted her to turn away from those damaging patterns and begin attending church. As her relationship with Jesus deepened, she launched a full-time ministry, She Speaks Fire, which helps other women face their past failures and overcome feelings of shame so that they, too, can live fully and unapologetically for God and walk in their God-given purpose.
Unpacking the biblical story of the garden of Eden in Genesis, Rosario reveals the seven areas where shame did not exist in the garden, which are the exact areas where believers are spiritually attacked today:
*Communion with God
*Identity in God
*Community with others
*Purpose or work
*Dependence on God
*Affirmation in or by God
*Boundaries from GodBy identifying the origins of their own shame–and the ways shame blocks them from living an authentic life–readers will then be able to embrace the four steps to overcoming unhealthy shame patterns. When they begin to own their story, they will be able to give God glory and encourage others who are seeking freedom in him. Then they can embrace being bold for Christ and spread his love far and wide.

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?

We will encounter:
*Gideon: “What if I don’t have what it takes?”
*Esther: “What do I do when God feels silent?”
*Joshua: “What if God’s promises don’t line up with my reality?”
*Martha: “What about when the worst-case happens?”
*And more!Join Heidi as she walks us straight into the heart of God’s Word, where we will experience His peace, find confidence in His good plans, and be set free to meet the future we were made for.
And P.S. . . . It’s gonna be good.

God Named Josh
$29.99Add 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.

Extravagant Love : Exploring God’s Passion For Us
$19.99Add to cartHave you ever been loved with “skimpy love”? Or has your love for someone else seemed to shrivel? Enter the world of God’s extravagant love: It is beyond measure. Careful study of God’s Word, along with delving into ancient customs and symbols from Biblical times, helps us understand His passionate love for all He has created.
If we call someone extravagant, we’re usually thinking about his spending habits and luxurious way of life.
So to use that word for a homeless man who had only one change of clothes–an itinerant teacher who depended on others for food and shelter–seems a stretch. Yet Jesus was the most extravagant person who ever lived.
Carole Engle Avriett invites you to redefine your notion of “extravagant.” In this study of ancient customs and ways of life, you’ll gain an understanding of the cultural context of the Scriptures and of twelve key characteristics of God’s nature, giving you a new appreciation of God’s love in all its fullness.
You may think you know what love is, but not until you’ve experienced His extravagant love will you understand what it’s like to be loved by a King . . . the unrestrained and lavish God whose passion draws souls into eternity.

Carpe Diem Redeemed
$18.99Add to cartYou 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 Judeo-Christian 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.

On Getting Out Of Bed
$20.99Add to cartWe 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.

Receiving Gods Promises (Revised)
$16.99Add to cartGod’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, good relationships, financial prosperity, healing, peace of mind, and many others.
God’s provision is in His promises, and His promises are our inheritance-not only in eternity but right now. Start walking through the land of God’s promises and claim your inheritance.
“[God] has given us everything we need…. He has given us His very great and precious promises” (2 Peter 1:3-4 NIV).
Revised and updated edition. Includes topical listing of Bible promises.

Little Way : Reflections On The Joy Of Smallness In God’s Infinite Love
$15.99Add to cartWe 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. Therese 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.” Therese 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 Therese followed this new path, she considered herself a “little flower” in Jesus’s garden. She understood that she was beloved by her heavenly Father and delightful in His eyes. And she could bloom right where He planted her as she daily demonstrated His unconditional love to others in small but meaningful acts of kindness and interceded on their behalf.
This beautiful book highlights St. Therese’s deep insights into faith and devotion, while visually capturing, through simple floral illustrations, the theme of simplicity that permeated her life. As you read excerpts from St. Therese’s autobiography, poetry, and letters, with accompanying Scripture verses, you will learn to rest in the loving arms of your heavenly Father, allowing your own faith to grow and flourish.

Gods Not Done With You
$17.99Add to cartWe 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 tragedy, and had more at stake than most any other situations in history. They show us greater and more meaningful outcomes than we can possibly imagine.”
This is a great book for anyone looking for answers to life’s challenges. It is a useful ministry resource for pastors and church leaders searching for stories of faith to encourage others. Coming back from regrets, adversity, hopelessness, discouragement, anger, moral failure, disillusionment, physical crisis, grief and oppression are some of the themes covered.
