Mothers Children And The Body Politic
$26.99How we talk about human life matters.
In western post-Christian society, humans are thought of less like precious image bearers and more like commodities. The canary in the coal mine of this ideological shift is often women and children, which manifests itself in the seemingly built-in disdain towards motherhood and children for their lack of production of economically valuable goods.
However, the risk of this utilitarian approach to human life is not just outside the church, but within those spaces as well. Indeed, the commodification of human life within the contemporary body politic is so deeply embedded within the systems, even the church has lost touch with some of the ways it inherently devalues the lives of women and children.
Classics scholar Nadya Williams draws from voices both ancient and modern to illuminate how Christians can value human life amidst an empire that seeks to dehumanize that which is most precious. Bringing insights from the beliefs and practices of the early church in Greco-Roman context about motherhood, raising children, and human life, Williams suggests there is a way to recapture a vision that affirms the imago Dei in each person over and above our economic contribution to society.

Swing Low Volume 1
$29.99A Groundbreaking Portrait of African American Christianity
The history of African American Christianity is one of the determined faith of a people driven to pursue spiritual and social uplift for themselves and others to God’s glory. Yet stories of faithful Black Christians have often been forgotten or minimized. The dynamic witness of the Black church in the United States is an essential part of Christian history that must be heard and dependably retold.
In this groundbreaking two-volume work, Walter R. Strickland II does just that through a theological-intellectual history highlighting the ways theology has formed and motivated Black Christianity across the centuries. Through his original research he has identified five theological anchors grounding African Americans in Christian orthodoxy:
*Big God
*Jesus
*Conversion and walking in the Spirit
*The Good Book
*DeliveranceIn volume 1, a narrative history, Strickland tells the story of these themes from the 1600s to the present. He explores the crucial ecclesiastical, social, and theological developments, including the rise of Black evangelicalism as well as broader contributions to politics and culture.
Swing Low offers a defining rubric under which to observe, understand, and learn from the diverse and living entity that is African American Christianity. Volume 2, a companion anthology, covers the breadth of these historical developments by presenting primary-source documents so we can listen to Black Christianity in its own words.

I Want To Trust You But I Dont
$29.99New York Times bestselling author Lysa TerKeurst shows you what to do with your skepticism and distrust so you can heal from past betrayals and move forward with strength and resilience.
Trust is the oxygen of all human relationships. But it’s also what trips you up after you’ve been burned. Maybe a friend constantly lets you down. A leader or organization you respect turns out to be different than they portray themselves to be. A spouse cheats on you. A family member betrays you. You’re exhausted by other people’s choices and starting to question your own discernment. And you’re wondering, If God let this happen, can he even be trusted?
How can you live well and step into the future when you keep stumbling over trust issues? Lysa TerKeurst says it’s not simply about finding better people to walk with. It’s about developing the stability you long for within yourself and with God, so you don’t become cynical and carry a broken belief system into every new relationship. In I Want to Trust You, But I Don’t, Lysa shows you how to:
*identify which of the eleven relational red flags are stirring up distrust, so you can pinpoint why you’re feeling uneasy;
*stop having more faith in your fears coming true than God coming through for you by asking crucial what if questions to better process your doubts;
*recognize when a fractured relationship can be repaired by considering a reasonable list of characteristics necessary for rebuilding trust; and
*understand the physical, emotional, and neurological impact of the betrayals you’ve experienced and start healing from the inside out.
In a world where so many things feel alarming, this book will give you a peace that isn’t dependent on unpredictable people, circumstances, and experiences. Instead, it offers practical and biblical ways to make real progress toward healthier perspectives, relationships, and a future you can authentically look forward to.

Family Discipleship That Works
$19.99Family discipleship is one of the most basic ways God has ordained to build his kingdom-and yet most parents struggle to do it consistently.
Amid our busyness, the multitude of different approaches, and our own self-doubts, the deck seems stacked against us. But Brian Dembowczyk isn’t here to pile on the guilt or to make us feel like failures. As a parent himself, he knows this struggle firsthand.
In Family Discipleship That Works, Dembowczyk says that the goal of discipling our kids isn’t just passing along head knowledge. It’s teaching them to act like Jesus. The Bible itself is not just a story but a drama in which we ourselves participate, and our kids have roles to play too. Dembowczyk offers practical advice and a wealth of ideas for teaching our kids to imitate the character traits of Jesus himself as we “act out” the Christian life together.
As parents, we are indeed called to disciple our children to know and act like Jesus. By God’s grace, that’s a task we can do-not out of guilt but with joy and good hope.
Family Discipleship That Works . . .
*Invites parents into more active family discipleship without judgmentalism, but with grace and understanding
*Presents “imitating Jesus” as a new model for understanding and enacting family discipleship
*Includes practical, achievable advice for parents to live out these principles in their homes

Longing For Joy
$19.99Can we still have joy in a world of pain and anxiety?
The troubles around us and in our lives lead many of us into a joyless experience where despair and hopelessness are the norm. Yet something within us still longs for a joy that transcends our challenges and gives us meaning and satisfaction.
Alastair Sterne says that our inner longings for joy actually point us to a God of joy who gives us both the capacity for joy and the realities of joyful experience. Sterne explores pathways to joy and why we often experience the absence of joy. He then offers theologically grounded and research-based practices for becoming people of joyful presence. Even if we are not temperamentally happy enthusiasts, we can gradually cultivate the deep abiding joy that we were created for and that enriches the world around us.

Films For All Seasons
$19.99The Spiritual Practice of Watching Movies
What’s your favorite Christmas movie? Easter movie? Pentecost movie? Casual viewers and movie buffs alike have favorite movies to watch at certain times of the year. But for film critic Abby Olcese, movies with spiritual themes aren’t just limited to the holiday season. They’re part of a deep human need to connect our favorite stories to the natural rhythms of our lives, and to let them shape and give meaning to our experience of the seasons all year long.
The life of the church is also defined by stories, which we revisit through the pattern of the Christian year. In Films for All Seasons, Olcese invites us to reflect on the great themes of the church calendar through the lens of film. From superhero movies and Star Wars to classics and arthouse films, she chooses movies for each liturgical season and leads us through them with skill and infectious enthusiasm, exploring how each one can inform and deepen our appreciation of its corresponding season.
Films for All Seasons is more than just a book about movies-it’s a model for how we engage with art as Christians.
Includes:
*Explorations of popular, classic, and arthouse films and how they relate to liturgical seasons

Plundered : The Tangled Roots Of Racial And Environmental Injustice
$18.99Two of the world’s greatest crises, systemic racism and environmental destruction, share the same origin story. The two are rooted in economic forces that exploit and oppress both people and land.
Pastor David Swanson shows how we have failed our God-given duty as caretakers of creation and how that failure has resulted in the exploitation of people and the extraction of natural resources. Racial and ecological injustice share the same root cause-greed-that turns people and the natural world into commodities that are only valued for their utility. Yet Christians have the capacity to live in a way that nurtures racial and environmental justice simultaneously, honoring people and places in dynamic relationship with our Creator God. Swanson shows how we can become communities of caretakers, the way to restore our relationship with creation and each other, and the holistic justice that can result.

Religion Of American Greatness
$29.99Long before it featured dramatically in the 2016 presidential election, Christian nationalism had sunk deep roots in the United States. From America’s beginning, Christians have often merged their religious faith with national identity. But what is Christian nationalism? How is it different from patriotism? Is it an honest quirk, or something more threatening?
Paul D. Miller, a Christian scholar, political theorist, veteran, and former White House staffer, provides a detailed portrait of-and case against-Christian nationalism. Building on his practical expertise not only in the archives and classroom but also in public service, Miller unravels this ideology’s historical importance, its key tenets, and its political, cultural, and spiritual implications.
Miller shows what’s at stake if we misunderstand the relationship between Christianity and the American nation. Christian nationalism-the religion of American greatness-is an illiberal political theory, at odds with the genius of the American experiment, and could prove devastating to both church and state. Christians must relearn how to love our country without idolizing it and seek a healthier Christian political witness that respects our constitutional ideals and a biblical vision of justice.

Pursuit Of Safety
$41.99What does it mean to pursue safety in the Christian life?
Safety is among the most important concerns of human life: we pursue it instinctively and go to great lengths to avoid danger or harm. However, the category of safety has received surprisingly little focused theological reflection. Important questions for the church have gone unanswered: How do secular understandings of safety shape our imaginations? How can Christians navigate the tension of pursuing safety as a creational good in light of the eschatological aims of discipleship?
In this volume in IVP Academic’s Studies in Christian Doctrine and Scripture series, theologian Jeremy Lundgren provides a constructive theological analysis of safety. After addressing the conceptual development of safety and risk through premodern, early modern, and late modern settings, he gives practical guidance to the contemporary church on how to faithfully engage with the pursuit of safety in the present day.
Studies in Christian Doctrine and Scripture, edited by Daniel J. Treier and Kevin J. Vanhoozer, promotes evangelical contributions to systematic theology, seeking fresh understanding of Christian doctrine through creatively faithful engagement with Scripture in dialogue with church tradition.

Journey Of Modern Theology
$64.99Modernity has been an age of revolutions-political, scientific, industrial and philosophical. Consequently, it has also been an age of revolutions in theology, as Christians attempt to make sense of their faith in light of the cultural upheavals around them, what Walter Lippman once called the “acids of modernity.” Modern theology is the result of this struggle to think responsibly about God within the modern cultural ethos.
In this major revision and expansion of the classic 20th Century Theology (1992), co-authored with Stanley J. Grenz, Roger Olson widens the scope of the story to include a fuller account of modernity, more material on the nineteenth century and an engagement with postmodernity. More importantly, the entire narrative is now recast in terms of how theologians have accommodated or rejected the Enlightenment and scientific revolutions. With that question in mind, Olson guides us on the epic journey of modern theology, from the liberal “reconstruction” of theology that originated with Friedrich Schleiermacher to the postliberal and postmodern “deconstruction” of modern theology that continues today.
The Journey of Modern Theology is vintage Olson: eminently readable, panoramic in scope, at once original and balanced, and marked throughout by a passionate concern for the church’s faithfulness to the gospel of Jesus Christ. This will no doubt become another standard text in historical theology.

World Of The End
Original price was: $19.99.$11.97Current price is: $11.97.Now available in trade paper!
A Wall Street Journal, USA Today, and Publishers Weekly Bestseller
In a world that seems to be spinning out of control, we need hope now more than ever. What if the life sustaining hope you need is found within the pages of the Bible?
Our world is packed with lies and loss of trust. Wars and rumors of war. Devastation and disaster. Pressure and persecution. Lawlessness and lovelessness. Some days it seems like bad news all around. And with bad news comes questions: “Why is this happening? When will it stop? What can we do?” And perhaps the most pressing of all: “Is this the end?”
In these hope-filled pages, bestselling author, pastor, and respected Bible teacher Dr. David Jeremiah focuses our attention not on the problems at hand, but on the hand of God. That’s because Jesus Himself told us what to expect from this season of history when He delivered His Olivet Discourse-a significant sermon that scholars have called “the most important single passage of prophecy in all the Bible.”
In The World of the End, learn how:
*The Bible has already laid the foundation on how we can live victoriously, even in difficult times
*Jesus not only calls Christians to a higher standard, but equips us with the tools and strength we need to confidently follow him daily
*The gospels contain the comfort you need to trust that God is in control and that his plan is still working to completion
With his trademark clarity, Dr. Jeremiah reveals exactly what Jesus promised to us-and what He expects of us-as we approach the World of the End.

Christmas Camel Caper
$18.95The Christmas Camel Caper is book seven in the Mysteries of Cobble Hill Farm Series.
Harriet Bailey is delighted with the way White Church Bay comes alive during the Christmas season, with decorations everywhere and an air of joyous festivity among the inhabitants of the Yorkshire village. She is attending veterinarian for the annual live Nativity, though she is a bit nervous caring for some unfamiliar animals at such a meaningful time. But when Calvin the camel somehow escapes his enclosure and ends up in a neighbor’s garden, his nose deep in a basket of figgy pudding, there is more than a ruined dessert to contend with. During his escape, the church’s priceless Christmas star, made of silver and sapphires, has gone missing!
As Harriet and Pastor Will Knight begin their search for the historic treasure, they uncover clues dating back to Harriet’s great-grandparents. Perhaps the secrets of the past will guide them to the present-day thief. Can Harriet and Will restore the town’s beloved star before the midnight service on Christmas Eve?
Mysteries of Cobble Hill Farm brings you everything you want in a great cozy mystery: page-turning plots, hidden secrets from the past, faith-filled characters, clean, wholesome stories, and the heartwarming, fun antics of animals with a knack for sniffing out–and digging up–clues!

Old Doc Bailey left Harriet not only a sprawling historic estate but also the Cobble Hill Farm Vet Clinic in the hope that she would continue his legacy. You’ll be captivated, just like Harriet, as she takes long walks along country paths, marvels at the gardens surrounding each cottage, and wanders through the ruins of old stone castles. Through the caring locals she meets and the precious animals in her care, she confirms that she is right where she belongs–especially when people and pets alike bring her mysteries from today and yesterday to solve!

Un Failing : Stumbling Our Way Into God’s Unlimited Goodness
$17.99No one wants to talk about failure, but we all miss the mark from time to time. Even our biblical heroes like Noah, Abraham, and Moses did things they shouldn’t have done. But when we mess up or our circumstances seem dire, God steps in to make things right. That’s the beauty of an unfailing God, One who is with us every step of the way.
*The Bible is full of struggle, failure, and denying God-Noah’s drunkenness, Moses’s temper, David’s sins of lust and murder. But God…
*Ever since the garden of Eden, listening to the right voices has been critical when it comes to turning our troubles into future blessings.
*While failure may feel like losing, un-failing is finding the courage to hand over our dreams, goals, and plans to God and following through.
In Un-failing: Stumbling Our Way into God’s Unlimited Goodness, authors Shane Stanford and Anthony Thaxton explain how viewing failure as an opportunity for spiritual growth can help us through experiences and seasons when we seem to have lost our way.
From God’s perspective, knowing that free will means we won’t always do things His way, failure provides an opportunity for us to turn to Him. No matter what we do, His love is unfailing, and He makes all things work together for our good.

Fight For Female
$19.99The very idea of womanhood is being assailed on all fronts: sexualized by our culture, eliminated from language, and silenced by the church. For decades, both sexes have been systematically undermined and stripped of their strength. Male and female were originally created as a power union, but that turned into a power struggle. For years, women listened to the lie that to be powerful they needed to act like men. Now the tables have turned, with men acting like women.
This attack is more than cultural, it is spiritual. Revelation 12:17 portrays a dragon enraged with women who has declared war on our children. Our enemy, terrified of what–and whom–we were made to reflect, seeks to blur the lines, distorting the very idea of what it means for women to bear God’s divine image.
We were made for this fight. It will require honest, intimate conversations to emerge with God-inspired answers equal to the challenges of our day. Our marriages, children, churches, communities, and futures depend on it. It’s time to unite, confident in our divine identity, clear in our commission, and courageous in our calling, to confront the darkness with love and light. It’s time to fight for female!

Average Boys Above Average Summer
$12.99Average Boy is here to make you laugh and encourage you in your faith!
The Average Boy series features humorous writing and whimsical illustrations to help readers embrace the idea that life isn’t always about being the smartest, most athletic, or best-looking kid in the neighborhood. Faith, family, and friends are far more valuable than being perceived as cool.
What happens when “Average Boy” Bob Smiley gets to the end of an above-average school year? Why, it’s time for an above-average summer, of course! If things go according to plan–and Average Boy always has lots of plans–then this summer will be his best one ever.
You see, Average Boy isn’t going to sleep in until noon this summer–at least not every day. No, he has big goals for the next few months. This summer is when Average Boy will finally build that tree house he’s been planning with his best friend, Billy. This summer is when he will brush his teeth every morning (as soon as he finds his toothbrush). And this summer he’s setting a goal to invite everyone in town to church.
There will be challenges along the way–challenges like Donny the school bully, or Sarah and Everley, who always seem to have water balloons in hand. But his biggest challenge this summer is the Huge Hairy Hisser, who lurks in the woods behind Average Boy’s house and seems determined to ruin his tree house-building plans.
It will definitely be a summer to remember!

Waiting For Christmas
$16.99In this hope-filled Gilded Age Christmas novella from bestselling author Lynn Austin, the year is 1901 and the hustle and bustle of the holidays is descending on New York’s Fifth Avenue.
For the first time in her privileged life, Adelaide Forsythe won’t be swept up in it. She couldn’t be happier about the prospect of a quieter Christmas. That’s not to say her transition from Miss to Mrs. has been without challenge. Though she doesn’t regret marrying for love instead of wealth, she can barely light the hearth or cook more than burnt toast. She feels woefully unprepared to run her own household.
Then, on the first Sunday of Advent, winter winds bring change through two unlikely means: a young orphan boy, hiding near Adelaide’s front steps, and a seasoned housekeeper who seems too good to be true.
The boy, Jack, claims he isn’t an orphan at all and is desperate to reunite his family. Adelaide and her husband Howard work tirelessly to solve the riddle of Jack’s story, while Adelaide’s new endeavors open her eyes to a world beyond her past experience–and all the challenge and possibility it holds. As Christmas approaches, small glimmers of wonder light the way toward the answers Adaleide seeks and the most miraculous gift of all.

Eyes To See
$21.95“Blessed are the eyes that see what you see! For I tell you that many prophets and kings desired to see what you see, and did not see it.” Luke 10:23-24
In the opening chapters of Eyes to See, you’ll journey back two millennia. Through Carl Gallups’ renowned narrative style of teaching, you’ll be placed squarely in the company of Yeshua/Jesus and His disciples. You’ll be there when He discloses eye-popping insights to those who were closest to Him.
The remaining chapters will take you through one biblical revelation after another, revelations that will, at times, leave you breathless from what you’ve seen.
To this day, the entire planet is still reeling from that divinely appointed clash of the unseen realms that took place on Golgotha’s hill and at the garden tomb. That ferocious spiritual collision also foreshadowed what is yet to come…in the ultimate “day of evil.”
You’ll also understand why most of the world-along with huge portions of today’s institutional church-is oblivious to what’s taking place around them in real time. This grand, demonic delusion is happening right in the midst of the most prophetic times since the first coming of Yeshua.
But first…we have to see it.
In Eyes to See, you will…
Understand where much of the world’s most recent technology is taking us, according to God’s Word.
See what lies ahead for our epic prophetic times.
Uncover treasures of astonishing insight previously “hidden” in Scripture and revealed specifically for our day.
Discover a number of remarkable revelations that help make sense of the world in which we’re living.
Experience a real-life supernatural encounter that will open your eyes to see like never efore.
Discover what the “Israel link” truly is.
Uncover monumental truths about long-misunderstood biblical declarations.
Make certain you are spiritually ready for the coming “visitation.”

Story Priority : How To Change Lives Using The 468 Jesus Narratives
$19.99The first apostles relied on different spiritual content than we practice. They were laser focused on the life and stories of Jesus.
We need a serious review of the church’s spiritual content.
In years of ministry, author Verlon Fosner has discovered a surprising truth: the power of the stories of Jesus to capture the imagination of secular people.
Agnostic and atheistic people sit back to the usual Bible teaching, but they love talking about the life of Christ.
Tell them a story, and they lean forward.
The church? Meh.
Jesus? Let’s talk.
As pastors and leaders in Christian faith, we have been taught to form our sermons and teachings based on modern principles of interpretation using such big words and concepts as hermeneutics, exegesis, contextualization, and etymology, all built on a foundation of systematic theology.
While these are helpful, what do we remember? And what do secular people like? Something much simpler: the stories of Jesus.
The first followers were consumed with the words and minutiae of what happened when Jesus walked the earth. It flowed into their conversations, preaching, evangelism, and discipleship. Jesus knew this would happen, too. When he told a story, even the sinners listened. That’s why he told his first disciples to prioritize his words and stories. They are the only spiritual materials on this earth stalwart enough to withstand the storm.
If we the church are to regain the power of the gospel and the ability to garner the attention of a secular world, we would be wise to recapture the focus of the 468 Jesus Stories.

Trail Guide To The Scriptures Jude
$19.99The Trail Guide to the Scriptures series uses the analogy of hiking a trail to find out what the Scriptures say to us today. Shane Bishop has a knack for insightful reading of the Scriptures and the ability to communicate in a vigorous, compelling and humorous way that helps the modern reader find the truth of the Scripture for today. Much like hiking an unknown trail, the signs along the way lead us to the end of the journey.
The book of Jude, one of the shortest books in the Bible, is not easy for the modern reader to understand. At first glance, it might not appear to be relevant to our situation. But under the leadership of a knowledgeable guide, we will find that we are warned, directed and uplifted.

Fallen Angels Giants Monsters And The World Before The Flood
$28.99Do You Have Questions About the World Before the Flood?
Does the Bible Really Explain the ‘Unexplainable’?
Are we really living “in the days of Noah” as some prophets have said?
How are the events of Noah’s Ark and the Flood relevant to the last days?
Are rebellious, fallen angels masquerading as aliens and UFOs today?
In this book, Rick Renner — historian and Bible teacher with extensive knowledge of New Testament Greek — clears up some rampant erroneous theories while uncovering brand-new revelations from the Bible. He uses archaeological findings, the writings of Church fathers, trusted historical documents, and Scripture to answer these and other questions, such as:
*When was the first recorded rapture? What does it tell us about the rapture of the Church?
*Are the “sons of God” in Genesis and the fallen angels the same thing?
*Who were the watchers God assigned to guard mankind after the Fall?
*Was Methuselah’s life a prophetic demonstration of God’s longsuffering that preceded judgment?
*What did God’s promise of “120 years” really mean?
*Where is Noah’s Ark today? And why did God save only Noah and his family?
*Are there any consequences of unholy living today?
Using photos from his own expeditions in the lower Ararat mountains — along with other empirical evidence of the Ark’s location — Rick captivates readers in this book and brings the Bible to life concerning this favorite childhood story. Containing hundreds of photos, illustrations, and endnotes, Fallen Angels, Giants, Monsters, and the World Before the Flood is “a museum in a book” and a must-have edition to refreshand refire your walk with God!

Road To Wisdom
$30.00As the COVID-19 pandemic revealed, we have become not just a hyper-partisan society but also a deeply cynical one, distrustful of traditional sources of knowledge and wisdom. Skepticism about vaccines led to the needless deaths of at least 230,000 Americans. “Do your own research” is now a rallying cry in many online rabbit holes. Yet experts can make mistakes, and institutions can lose their moral compass. So how can we navigate through all this?
In The Road to Wisdom, Francis Collins reminds us of the four core sources of judgement and clear thinking: truth, science, faith, and trust. Drawing on his work from the Human Genome Project and heading the National Institutes of Health, as well as on ethics, philosophy, and Christian theology, Collins makes a robust, thoughtful case for each of these sources–their reliability, and their limits. Ultimately, he shows how they work together, not separately–and certainly not in conflict. It is only when we relink these four foundations of wisdom that we can begin to discern the best path forward in life.
?
Thoughtful, accessible, winsome, and deeply wise, The Road to Wisdom leads us beyond current animosities to surer footing. Here is the moral, philosophical, and scientific framework with which to address the problems of our time–including distrust of public health, partisanship, racism, response to climate change, and threats to our democracy–but also to guide us in our daily lives. This is a book that will repay many readings, and resolve dilemmas that we all face every day.Add to cartin stock within 3-5 days of online purchase

Longing For Christmas
$12.99Do you remember what it felt like to be a little kid at Christmastime? There’s nothing quite like the anticipation of Christmas morning. But the holiday can lose its wonder as we wake up to the many hard things going on in our lives and in the world. The loss we feel over our childhood experience points to a deeper longing inside all of us–for everything sad to be undone and for us to live together with God in perfect joy.
Longing for Christmas looks at twenty-five promises God made and fulfilled in the coming of Jesus. As we explore the way God has kept his promises, we can be encouraged that ALL of the longing we feel–for a better world and for things to be made right–will be fully met in Jesus.

Advent For Exiles
$19.99Do you long for a more honest, imaginative, and Scripture-rich companion for the Advent season? A devotional willing to acknowledge the darkness of exile and the brokenness you see around and within, so you might rejoice more fully in the arrival of Jesus, the Light of the World?
In Advent for Exiles songwriter and storyteller Caroline Cobb weaves together Scripture readings, song lyrics, poetic prose, biblical imagery, and responsive exercises to help you:
*break away from the hurried holiday pace, and daily stoke your anticipation for Jesus’s coming
*engage both your mind and your imagination in the truth of God’s Word
*walk in the shoes of the Old Testament exiles, linking arms with them as they ache for the Messiah
*travel the Advent road from darkness to daybreak, exile to homecoming, and wilderness to a flourishing garden
*explore how the full story of Scripture-from creation to Christ’s return-informs and expands your delight at Christmas
As the darkness of a long night sharpens our longing for the sunrise, this book of daily readings for the month of December will whet your appetite for the promised Messiah and amplify your joy at His arrival.
Come slow your pace, engage your imagination, and feast on the rich and relevant biblical theme of exile: His light shining in our darkness, His seed sprouting green in our wilderness. Allow yourself to experience the ache of Advent, so you might rejoice all the more at the beauty of Christ’s coming!
