If you’ve longed to share your Christian faith authentically but found fear holding you back, you are not alone. Many of us long to make a meaningful impact for Christ in our communities but feel inadequate, awkward, and afraid of accidentally causing offense. How can we communicate the life-giving invitation of Jesus in a better way?
In Lit Up with Love, Dr. Derwin Gray provides a guide for sharing the Gospel with authenticity and love. Uncover the true motivation behind sharing your faith–the boundless love of God for humanity and His desire for reconciliation.

*Love-Powered Evangelism: Rather than employ fear-based approaches or pressure tactics, emphasize the infinite love of God and his desire for reconciliation

*A Church Implementation Kit: Equipped with practical downloadable assets, this book empowers churches to apply its principles and embark on a transformative evangelism movement.
The more we are lit up with love, the more we will share Christ and the hope that he brings. Whether you’re a seasoned follower of Jesus or just starting on your journey, Lit Up with Love will empower you to become a beacon of light in a world desperate for love and belonging.

What If Jesus Was Serious About Justice
$18.99If God is love, then how do we make sense of the evil we see everywhere in the world?

The fifth in Jethani’s popular What If Jesus Was Serious? series, this guide includes the author’s hand-drawn illustrations in each accessible chapter.
Jethani examines the biblical understanding of justice as the restoration of right relationships both among people and between people and God.

Readers will emerge with a better understanding of God’s love, wrath, the cross, eternity, and more. In addition, Christians will find new ways to bridge the divide in the church over the importance of personal salvation and communal justice.

Original price was: $19.99.$13.97Current price is: $13.97.The phrase “cleanliness is next to godliness” isn’t found in the Bible.

Dont Look Back
Original price was: $19.99.$13.97Current price is: $13.97.Move forward with hope instead of dwelling on the past.
There are times in life when we look back and feel desperate to make time stand still, especially when unexpected change happens and all we want is for things to go back to how they were. But we can’t stop the flow of life, and we can’t stop time. And looking back doesn’t enable us to go back. It just makes us stuck. In a place. In a space. In a memory. In a mindset. In a habit.
In Luke 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 will motivate you to stop looking back, to get unstuck, and to keep moving forward into God’s promises and purpose for your life. In Don’t Look Back, Christine will help you to:
*Stop looking back and start looking to Jesus
*Invite Jesus in to help you get unstuck from the places and situations that keep you trapped
*Move on from where you are into all God’s plans, purposes, and promises for your life
*Look forward to the future and keep moving toward it in faith–especially when your world is nothing like it once wasJesus is beckoning us onward into the newness of what lies ahead. Stop disqualifying yourself by getting stuck in the past. Don’t Look Back will inspire you to move forward boldly.

Believe : Why Everyone Should Be Religious
$29.99Do you ever wish you had more faith, but struggle to make religious belief fit with modern assumptions about the world and human life? With a rare combination of empathy, open-mindedness, and persuasive argument, Ross Douthat offers a blueprint for thinking one’s way from doubt to belief.
As a columnist for the New York Times who writes often about spiritual topics for a skeptical audience, Ross Douthat understands that many of us–whether we are agnostic, somewhat religious, or longtime believers–want to have more faith than we do. But we think we can’t believe the way our ancestors did, knowing what we know now–can we?
With clear and straightforward arguments, Believe shows how religious belief makes sense of the order of the cosmos and our place within it, illuminates the mystery of consciousness, and explains the persistent reality of encounters with the supernatural.
Douthat argues that in light of what we know today it should be harder to not have faith than to have it. With empathy, clarity, and rigor, Douthat explores:
*Why nonbelief requires ignoring what our reasoning faculties tell us about the world
*How modern scientific developments make a religious worldview more credible, not less
*Why it’s entirely reasonable to believe in mystical and supernatural realities
*How an open-minded religious quest should proceed amid the diversity of religious faiths
*How Douthat’s own Christianity is informed by his blueprint for beliefHighly relevant for our current moment, Believe offers a pathway for thinking your way from doubt into belief, from uncertainty about our place in the universe into a confidence that we are here for a reason.

Saving Truth Study Guide Plus Streaming Video (Student/Study Guide)
$24.99How Christians can guard their own minds against the lies that surround us and defend truth and clarity to a world that rejects both.
By accurately describing the Culture of Confusion, the rise of the “post-truth” mindset, and how it has affected our society, author Abdu Murray will awaken you and your group to the plight we find ourselves in and challenge Christians to steer away from contributing to such a culture by instead finding hope in the clarity that Christ offers.
In this eight-session, video-based study (DVD/streaming video sold separately) is designed to take you deeper into the topic of meaning and clarity through personal reflection and Scripture engagement and will:
*Help you understand the post-truth mindset and how it infects and affects us all.
*Equip you with facts and knowledge about the various areas of life where we are steeped in a post-truth mindset and losing our bearings as a culture, specifically: our freedom, our humanity, our sexuality, faith and science, and religious pluralism.
*Explain how the message of Jesus can answer our deepest questions, and how the actions of Jesus can bring truth and clarity to a post-truth culture desperately in need of objective, biblical truth.
Increasingly, Western culture embraces confusion as a virtue and decries certainty as a sin. Those who are confused about morality are progressive pioneers. Those who are confused about spirituality are praised as tolerant. And those who express certainty about any of these issues are seen as bigoted, oppressive, or intolerant.
For individuals or groups who feel like they’re enmeshed in the culture of confusion, the Saving Truth Study Guide sheds light on the way to see through the fog that surrounds us–by seeing Jesus and his message as the fixed point of reference that we so desperately need.
This study guide has everything you need for a full personal or group experience.

As Sure As The Sea
Original price was: $17.99.$14.39Current price is: $14.39.Once she denied everything she believed in. Now she’d give anything to choose differently. But in the shadow of the Roman Empire’s persecution and the shame of her past, she fears that what she wants most will be forever out of reach.
Eastern Roman Empire, AD 310. In the shadow of Emperor Diocletian’s anti-Christian edicts, Demitria makes a meager living harvesting coral and pearls for a merchant who turns a blind eye to her faith. By night, Demi goes upriver with her brother, Theseus, to obtain provisions for fellow believers in the port city of Myra. While willing to risk her own life to ensure others are safe and fed, Demi lives with a desperate fear for those she loves and carries secret shame over her greatest failure. When Theseus is injured in a diving accident, all seems lost, until a stranger named Nikolas appears on the beach and offers help.
Arriving in a sinking boat, Nikolas is burdened by guilt over his older brother’s tragic death. Though the wealth he inherited from a prosperous shipping business now rests at the bottom of the sea, as the new pastor in Myra, he is determined to recover it and use it for good. As the violence against Christians increases, Demi helps Nikolas retrieve his lost fortune and distribute it to those in dire need.
Despite wondering if she can ever be worthy, Demi is drawn to Nikolas and longs to trust in his belief that freedom can be found in forgiveness. Then one terrifying night, everything changes as the Roman Empire’s fury rains down. Demi has no other choice but to decide if she has the courage to do what she once failed to . . . and if the faith she calls her own is sure enough to carry her.

Prayer Of Unwanting
$16.99An astute, lively book about the Lord’s Prayer–the ancient Christian prayer that helps us get over ourselves, which is sometimes exactly what we didn’t know we needed.
Sometimes we imagine prayer as a magical incantation–a way to change our circumstances. We try to pray our way toward success, safety, health, or love. But what if true prayer is more about undoing our desires for power and profit than indulging them? What if the purpose of prayer isn’t to give us what we want but to change the very heart of our wanting?
Novelist and pastor David Williams leads us toward a new encounter with the prayer Jesus taught us to pray. Prayed through millennia by believers in groups and alone, the Lord’s Prayer speaks precisely to our age. Jesus taught his followers this prayer for a reason, and this same prayer rings true to those of us with a hunch that our desires are being endlessly manufactured, manipulated, and managed. If we are to be good little consumers, our hunger must be endless. We want because we are afraid of not having enough. We want because we feel compelled to have more than our neighbor. We want power over others. Our broken wanting can break the world. So Jesus gave us the prayer we need: one that repairs and reorients our longings.
With stories from scripture, whimsical anecdotes, and pastoral wisdom, Williams guides us into profound interaction with each line of the Lord’s Prayer. Questions and ideas for ways to experience the Lord’s Prayer can facilitate and deepen group conversation and individual prayer. There’s power in the Lord’s Prayer, Williams testifies, even if it’s a power we have yet to understand.

Dont Let Doubt Take You Out
$19.99Even when you don’t know what to think, you will know where to go.
After reading this book, you will crush the seeds of doubts in your mind, which are telling me that you’re the only one struggling. Likewise, Iyou will gain the invaluable skill of defeating doubt before it takes you out.
If you think about it, from your earliest memories, doubt was there: on your first day of school and waiting for you in the playground. A word spoken; a look given. Doubt followed you throughout middle school and high school… especially middle school. As an adult, this rival has shown up repeatedly at the important times in your life trying to convince you that you don’t have what it takes. These seeds of doubt about yourself can hold you back and take you out, all the while convincing you that you’re the only one struggling.
Doubt doesn’t just raise questions about oneself; It can also seep into our relationships with others and with God. When those closest to us let us down or disappoint us, doubt whispers in our ear causing us to question their motives or their loyalty, tempting us to withdraw and isolate ourselves. Doubts about our relationship with God can be an even more difficult force to reckon with on our own. But knowing how to defeat doubt before it takes you out is a critical skill that each of us can and must master.
Beloved pastor and communicator Todd Mullins knows that doubt screams the loudest in our spiritual lives, often causing us to question what we cannot see, touch, or quantify logically. As a result, our connection with our Creator is disrupted, causing:
*A disjointed and disconnected life from God
*A mindset of guilt and shame instead of grace and freedom
*A heart that isn’t aligned with what God wants for our futureAs senior pastor of Christ Fellowship Church, Mullins’s experience with doubt is deep and wide. He will help readers identify the source of these struggles and give them the tools to defeat doubt once and for all.

Anti Greed Gospel
$66.65Racism is not about hate and ignorance. It’s about greed. And it always has been.
Black Christian historian Malcolm Foley explores this idea in The Anti-Greed Gospel, showing how the desire for power and money–what some call “racial capitalism”–causes violence and exploitation.
Foley reviews the history of racial violence in the United States and connects the killings of modern-day Black Americans to the history of lynching in America. He helps the contemporary church wrestle with the questions racial violence brings up: How can we become communities that show generosity and resist greed? What is the next step in the journey for racial justice?
Readers will walk away with a better understanding of how they can resist greed that exploits others, love their neighbor more completely, and build communities of deep solidarity, anti-violence, and truth telling.

Preaching From The Cross
$66.65Much has been written about the life, ministry, and theology of the apostle Paul. But what about Paul specifically as a preacher? How did he understand his commission from the risen Lord Jesus to preach the gospel, and how did he put it into practice? Further, what lessons can contemporary preachers learn from Paul about the theology and practice of preaching to help them be more faithful messengers of God’s Word?
As a leading Pauline scholar and practicing pastor, Frank Matera has considered these questions, and he offers this short, accessible book to pastors and students as wise and helpful guidance. Matera explores a Pauline theology of preaching, focusing on three main questions: Why did Paul preach? What did he preach? And how did he preach? He also explores Paul’s preaching as the ministry of the new covenant. He identifies and explores seven themes of Paul’s preaching, which in turn offer key practical insights for preaching in a Pauline way. Readers are encouraged to “preach from the cross,” making the crucified Christ their focus and their model, demonstrating what they preach by their own cruciform lives.

Colossians And Philemon
$66.65The Spirit who inspired the authors of the New Testament is at work today around the globe, as evidenced by the explosive growth of pentecostal, charismatic, and renewalist movements; the number of adherents is now estimated at more than half a billion. There is a clear need for a balanced, affordable, and accessible commentary series aimed at Christians who identify as Spirit-filled.
The Word and Spirit Commentary on the New Testament series emphasizes how we listen alongside ancient audiences for the Spirit’s voice in our time and contexts. Written by pastorally sensitive biblical scholars from the Spirit-filled tradition, these commentaries explore how God works in the biblical texts and how Christians can expect God to work today, even if in new or culturally surprising ways. Series editors are Holly Beers, Westmont College, and Craig S. Keener, Asbury Theological Seminary.
In this addition to the series, respected New Testament scholar Holly Beers engages Colossians and Philemon in their ancient setting and explores their message for Spirit-filled Christians today. Images, illustrations, and sidebars on pentecostal/charismatic/revival history or insights are included.

God Of Story
$66.65Many of us have been taught to read Scripture as a collection of information that needs to be categorized, systematized, and analyzed verse by verse, concept by concept. But the Bible isn’t a jigsaw puzzle, and it wasn’t written in just Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek. It was also written in the language of story. And as with every good story, we get to meet colorful characters, unravel mysteries, and see the world from a different point of view. It all makes more sense when understood from the perspective of storytelling.
In The God of Story, Daniel Schwabauer explores the narrative principles of theme, context, characterization, voice, and plot as a lens for understanding the cosmic story arc of God’s relationship to humanity. By including creative retellings of biblical stories, he demonstrates how to engage Scripture with imagination.
For a fresh approach to reading the Bible and discovering how its stories connect to your own, start by learning to see God as the master storyteller.

Marriage You Want
$66.65We all want a marriage that feels like home. We long for a partner who is there for us through all of life’s challenges and griefs, who is in on all our inside jokes, who delights in the family we’ve built together, who looks with hope toward the future with a shared faith and an arm firmly around our shoulders. But how do we get there? What actually works in the real world and honors the picture of marriage found in Scripture?
Based on the findings of their meticulous research, Sheila Wray Gregoire and Dr. Keith Gregoire dispel the pervasive myths about what makes a happy marriage. Rather than relying on gender stereotypes, they look at what actually creates intimacy, emotional health, and connection, asking deeper questions that lead to real healing and growth in your relationship with your spouse.
With enlightening stories, survey results, and practical tools, this book will help readers create a marriage they love. And with the evidence-based, Scripture-honoring advice in this book, that just may be closer than you imagine.

Never Alone : Sharing The Gift Of Community In A Lonely World
$59.98We have never been more connected–yet we have never felt more alone.
Isolation is the great soul wound of our time. As Christians, we know that the church has a unique gift to offer a hurting world: communal life in Jesus. This gift has the power to heal our loneliness and isolation. It is good news for the lonely, the isolated, the struggling. So why does it often sound like bad news to those who need it most?
Perhaps because we have misunderstood what the good news actually is–and how we ought to be sharing it. We have collapsed evangelism into offering a golden ticket to some postmortem destiny. But the goodness of the gospel we are called to share is about so much more: shalom, wholeness, and the peaceable kingdom of Christ breaking into the world. This is the gift of communal life in Jesus. A gift that re-ligaments us back together with God and one another.
Never Alone unpacks how we can be spiritual guides who help people heal, love, and unleash imagination to create better lives and communities. We all can be instruments to bring healing and wholeness to people’s lives in today’s epidemic of loneliness and isolation.

Guilty Until Innocent
$31.99Justice has been served . . . unless the accused is innocent.
Life in prison is often a nightmare, but Joe Moore believes he is just where God intends him to be. Twenty-five years ago, while high on meth, he makes one terrible mistake after another, culminating in the brutal murder of a young, influential couple. Today, Joe is a radically different person, thriving in his role as a ministry leader and role model to his fellow inmates.
After being fired from two previous law firms, young lawyer Ryan Clark and his wife, Paige, have settled into a small North Carolina town. Hired by a distant relative, Ryan is committed to connecting with the right clients and handling the mundane tasks while his cousin Tom takes on the high-profile cases.
But when critical health issues land Tom in the hospital, Ryan is forced to take the helm at the law firm–just in time for the town’s biggest case in history to be reopened. Joe Moore’s niece has been doing some digging and, convinced that her incarcerated uncle is innocent, insists that Ryan relaunch the investigation immediately.
After Ryan meets with Joe, both men receive threats that put their own lives–as well as the lives of those around them–in danger. It appears that together they’ve pulled back a dark curtain that hides a deeper evil than anyone in town suspects exists. Now they must determine if continuing with the case is worth the risk–and if the cost of proving one man’s innocence is too great when the lives of so many others would be placed in mortal danger.

Roots And Rhythm
$32.99A beautifully crafted memoir unveiling the ancestral, musical, and spiritual roots of Grammy Award-winning music producer Charlie Peacock.
In this artful memoir, Grammy Award-winning music producer Charlie Peacock flexes his literary chops and gives readers the gritty backstage stories they crave: biographical anecdotes, geeky trivia, and how the hits were written and recorded (from jazz to rock and pop). Threaded throughout is Peacock’s unique ancestral and spiritual story–the roots. Like Coltrane, Dylan, and Bono before him, Peacock reveals a Christ-affection while refusing genres too small for his music.
Peacock, the great-grandson of a Louisiana fiddler, is an American musical polymath. He’s been the young jazz musician sitting at the feet of trumpeter Eddie Henderson and pianist Herbie Hancock; the singer-songwriter plucked from the Northern California punk/pop underground by legendary impresarios Bill Graham and Chris Blackwell; a pioneering, innovative contributor to the nascent rise of gospel rock in the 1980s; and the genre-busting producer behind such diverse artists as Al Green, Ladysmith Black Mambazo, Chris Cornell, Audio Adrenaline, The Civil Wars, Switchfoot, Turtle Island Quartet, and John Patitucci.
Roots and Rhythm includes Peacock’s seminal NorCal days, the story of indie labels Exit and re: think, his first decade as a Nashville producer (1989-1999), and his essential role in the 21st-century folk/Americana boom (The Civil Wars, Holly Williams, The Lone Bellow). While his exploits and achievements grace the book (including the story of Amy Grant’s “Every Heartbeat” and the evergreen “In the Light”), Peacock is hardly the only character. Instead, he writes as a Joan Didion-style essayist, weaving together a quintessential American story. Beat poet Gary Snyder, evangelist Billy Graham, producer T Bone Burnett, saxophonist Wayne Shorter, and writers Wendell Berry and Isabel Wilkerson all appear in this sweeping tale where ancestry, migration, teenage love, Jesus, and Miles Davis collide.
The book is an invitation to all, including aspiring musicians: embrace the roots and rhythm of our own lives, letting the music and God’s insistent love lead us to gratitude and wonder.

Dawn Of Grace
$49.98From her earliest days, Mary Magdalene has known fear and loss at a level so deep she has no hope of surfacing. Bound to the demons within her and incapable of freeing herself, Mary walks in shadow–until one day she encounters a healer, a rabbi who is radically different from the religious leaders and family members who could do nothing to help her. One touch from Jesus and Mary is never the same.
Now Mary’s one mission in life is to serve the one who freed her. She is determined never to leave his side, fearing that if she loses him, she’ll return to her former bondage. Even when the unthinkable happens and her savior is arrested and sentenced to execution, she cannot abandon him as so many others did. Let her be buried in his tomb, for she cannot live without him.
On the brink of despair, Mary is about to discover that while the life of faith is never perfect, perfect love casts out fear–and Jesus makes all things new.

Along the way, they’ll all discover that it takes a village to keep a man with dementia (and a goofy sense of humor) from unraveling everything!
