Problem Of Life
$22.99Compelling answers to your biggest questions about life.
The Western world faces unprecedented levels of depression, anxiety, and loneliness. Despite advancements in wealth, knowledge, and longevity of life, many feel their lives lack significance, leading to a deep longing for fulfillment and happiness.
In The Problem of Life, author Mark Clark recounts a pivotal moment when he mistakenly informed a woman of her husband’s death. This profound mistake taught him invaluable lessons about existence and purpose. He argues that our relentless pursuit of money, family, and friendships–while important–often distract us from what truly matters, leaving us disenchanted.
What if we could address this inner ache? What if we could discover our true place in the world?
In this final book of a trilogy which began with The Problem of God, Clark presents 11 practical principles to help us flourish. He explores foundational topics like our origins, identity, and the meaning of suffering while drawing from biblical theology, psychology, and engaging stories, like:
*His battle with Tourette Syndrome and how it made him a better preacher and person.
*How he accidentally saved a woman from killing herself.
*Why scientists and tennis players agree that the cultural conversation about gender is all backward.
*Why your view on Sea World may predict your level of anxiety.
*What the dramatic events surrounding a false missile alert in Hawaii in 2018 have to do with you.
The Problem of Life illustrates how we may be looking in all the wrong places for joy, contentment, and satisfaction and points us toward God as the remedy for our brokenness.

Heart Of The Preacher
$18.99“Keep a close watch on yourself and on the teaching.” –1 Timothy 4:16
*Understand the greatest threats to your preaching
*Identify common tests of your character
*Learn gospel-based habits that guard your heartPreachers cannot separate themselves from their preaching. Every time a preacher proclaims the word, something of themselves is also delivered to the congregation–for better or worse.
In The Heart of the Preacher, Rick Reed draws from over three decades of preaching experience to emphasize how preachers must prepare their hearts before they are ready to preach. Sermon preparation involves more than mere technical steps. Preachers are people. Exhaustion, discouragement, insecurity, and more threaten a preacher’s character, and thus their preaching. Reed equips pastors with practices and habits to face these threats. Preachers must guard their lives so that their teaching will be accompanied by the fruit of the Spirit.

Body God Gives
$34.99What is the relationship between sex and gender?
*Understand society’s shifts in thinking and talking about sex and gender
*Discover how biological sex guides gender
*Recognize how the Bible speaks to gender and transgender
*Respond to affirming interpretations of Scripture
*Answer gender confusion with clarity and compassionIn The Body God Gives: A Biblical Response to Transgender Theory, Robert S. Smith argues that God intends a person’s gender to be grounded in the reality of his or her biological sex–the body God has given. In making his case, Smith critiques the central claim of transgender theory: that the sexed body does not determine the gendered self. He also evaluates contemporary changes in thought and speech about sex and gender, responding to modern confusion with biblical conviction and compassion. God speaks clearly, both in his word and in his world.

*Challenge the lie that you must earn God’s love
*Reflect on God’s love with study questions for each chapter
*Find comfort in God’s love for you in JesusThere is good news: you can’t earn God’s love. Whatever you have done or whatever has been done to you–none of it qualifies or disqualifies you from God’s love.
In Unloved: The Rejected Saints God Calls Beloved, Elyse M. Fitzpatrick tells stories of God’s faithfulness towards the misunderstood and often unfaithful saints of the Bible.
*Hosea and Gomer
*Sarah and Abraham
*Hagar and Photine (the woman at the well)
*Tamar and Judah
*Naomi, Ruth, and Boaz
*Bathsheba and David
*Mary and JosephThese women and men suffered and failed and were often maligned. And yet they were also loved by God. His love for these messy saints reminds you that God also loves you–generously, lavishly, and freely. Jesus came for the outcasts, men and women burdened by shame or guilt and seen as unloved. And he calls you his beloved.

Christians In The Crosshairs
$18.97In Christians in the Crosshairs, Gregory C. Cochran provides an insightful and (surprisingly) encouraging biblical explanation as to why trouble and persecution are inevitable for Christians. Since they are a peculiar people, are in the world but not of the world, and follow a Master who is offensive to many, Christians are naturally the objects of disdain and hostility. Understanding the nature of the enmity between the world and the Christian is critical for living in a world where Satan is its prince. The book is an attempt to start a conversation about the reality of Christian persecution. It is a wake-up call to the modern church, especially in the United States. “My hope for all who read this volume,” writes the author, “is a strengthened faith. One of the most surprising aspects of studying persecution has been its effect on me. I thought I would feel woeful and defeated after hearing of such great suffering. However, the opposite is true. The Gospel, with its resurrection power, is able to take the worst situations and reframe them in victory. Hearing stories of triumph through suffering has been nothing short of glorious.”

“If the world hates you, know that it has hated me before it hated you” (John 15:18).

*advocate for the godly functioning of society with greater biblical, cultural, and civic understanding
*take concrete action for the common good with more than 35 practical ideas to get you started
As Christians, our calling is to speak truth in the face of hostility. Not because we want to “war” with culture but because we love both God and others.

Steadfast Love Of The Lord
$21.99A Clear, Biblical Picture of God’s Unconditional Love for His Children
Many believers know that “God is love.” But whether through cultural lies, false beliefs, or years of mulling over the tragedies of the world, it may be difficult to see the true, steadfast, and unchanging love of the Father. Thankfully the Bible offers a clear picture of what God’s love looks like and how, through the ministry of the Holy Spirit, believers experience his affection for themselves.
Taking an accessible approach to biblical theology, author Sam Storms explores Scripture to address what God’s love is and what it isn’t. Drawing insights from the Psalms and the life of Jesus, Storms covers God’s sovereignty and the saving power, longevity, and sin-killing nature of his love. The Steadfast Love of the Lord breaks down obstacles that prevent believers from accepting biblical truths and challenges the cultural lies that hinder them from accepting God’s vast and unfathomable love.
*Accessible: An introductory approach to biblical theology, this book is perfect for laypeople and thoughtful Christians
*Practical: Not only helps believers study the nature of God but helps them experience his affection for themselves
*Honest: From a biblical perspective, this book addresses the cultural lies of our age to explain what love is and what it isn’t

Introducing Jesus : The Fourfold Gospel
$19.99A book for those who think they know Jesus and for those who know they don’t.
Can anyone in our high-tech world truly understand someone who lived two thousand years ago? Can we get through twenty centuries of tradition to the real person who started it all? Andreas Kostenberger shows that the Gospels, the four earliest records about Jesus, do just that. These writings, named Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, alongside key facts about the ancient world, bring Jesus’s life, his words, and his legacy into focus.
Introducing Jesus gets to the heart of what was–and is–important about Jesus. Kostenberger uses succinct prose, photographs, maps, charts, and more to address these questions:
*What did each gospel writer intend to convey about Jesus?
*What historical backgrounds help us understand Jesus better?
*What aspects of Jesus’s life and teaching do the Gospels emphasize?
*What does Jesus mean to people living today?Adapted from Kostenberger’s The Jesus of the Gospels (2020) for a younger readership, Introducing Jesus lends itself well to the typical organization of a high school year or college semester. A corresponding website includes resources for instructors.

Nobodys Perfect : Redefining Sin And Mistakes In Adolescent Christian Educa
$35.00Adolescents, like everyone else, make mistakes. However, religious educators Cynthia L. Cameron, Lakisha R. Lockhart-Rusch, and Emily A. Peck argue that some youths are born with the privilege of making mistakes in ways that others often are not. They also argue that many Christian education practices that guide our understandings of mistake-making are shaped by gender and gender identity, sexual orientation, and race in ways that disenfranchise some adolescents.
In response, Cameron, Lockhart-Rusch, and Peck curate a much-needed conversation that helps religious educators accompany adolescents and better understand mistakes based on a theological framework that names adolescents as fundamentally good. The result is an edited volume that explores ways educators can walk with adolescents so that youth can learn from their mistakes and grow without misunderstanding all mistakes as sin. Together, these essays seed a theology of adolescent goodness that’s rooted in a liberative Christian theological anthropology.
Drawing on both qualitative and quantitative research, Nobody’s Perfect offers nuanced and robust definitions of what a mistake is, apart from definitions of sin. The book also explores the challenges of talking about mistake-making and sin with adolescents within religious institutional contexts that shape policy, pastoral practice, and ministry orientations. Finally, the book presents youths’ own voices about how they understand and process what mistake-making looks like in the contexts in which they live and learn.
Nobody’s Perfect is for Christian educators who serve either in the academy or in congregational settings. The book well serves educators who recognize the various cultural and developmental challenges adolescents face when their church communities. The book also offers tools to help such church leaders attend to religious education spaces with a renewed theology that can root a more liberative experience of religious education.

Anti Greed Gospel
$21.99Racism 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.

Perfectly You : Embracing The Power Of Being Real

The media screens of today perpetuate stereotypes, but what would happen if instead of comparing ourselves and falling short, we compared ourselves and celebrated our uniqueness? What would happen if we believed in our worth and embraced what makes us different? And what if we truly saw those around us as neighbors and not merely adversaries to our particular group or station?
The days of doubt and division must end. It starts with authenticity, persistence, and understanding what truly makes you special.

Hole In Our Gospel Revised And Updated Content Facts And Photos
$22.99Richard Stearns shows that the Bible boldly speaks that there is no “whole gospel” without compassion and justice shown to the poor. With more than 260,000 copies sold, The Hole in Our Gospel continues to impact readers worldwide, and this new edition includes updated statistics, photos, and a foreword from the current World Vision president.
Is our faith only about going to church, studying the Bible, and avoiding the most serious sins? Or does God expect more? Have we embraced the whole gospel or a gospel with a hole in it?
More than twenty years ago, Rich Stearns came face-to-face with that question as he sat in a mud hut in Rakai, Uganda, listening to the heartbreaking story of an orphaned child. Stearns’s journey took much more than a long flight to Africa. It took answering God’s call on his life, a call that tore him out of his corner office at one of America’s most prestigious corporations, to walk with the poorest of the poor in our world.
Stearns’s compelling story demonstrates that the whole gospel was always meant to be a world-changing social revolution, a revolution that begins with each one of us. With more than 260,000 copies sold, this revised and updated edition will be part of World Vision’s 75th anniversary.

Perfect Rom Com
$18.99She’s written dozens of smash-hit romance novels. Too bad no one knows it.
Aspiring author Bryony Page attends her first writers conference bursting with optimism and ready to sell her manuscript with long-shot dreams of raising awareness for The Bridge, her grandmother’s financially struggling organization where she teaches ESL full-time. But after a disastrous pitch session, she stumbles into correcting another author’s work in a last-ditch attempt to make a good impression with the agent. And she, as it turns out, is spot on.
No one is more surprised than Bryony when the agent offers her the opportunity to be a ghostwriter for Amelia Benedict, popular rom-com novelist. Bryony agrees on one condition: she’ll write books for this vain, demanding woman just as long as Jack Sterling, literary agent of the legendary Foundry Literary Agency, works to sell her own book too.
What nobody predicted, however, was that Bryony’s books would turn Amelia Benedict into the Amelia Benedict, household name and bestselling author with millions of copies sold around the world.
And just like that, the Foundry Agency can’t let her go.
But on a personal note, Jack is realizing he can’t either.

Food And Holiness
$21.23A Clay Bridges Press Title
Food & Holiness examines how something as commonplace as food can become an idol when we place it above our relationship with God. A subject often overlooked in Christian circles, author Charlene Ralph sheds light on the subtle but powerful temptation to idolize food.
How can we recognize if we are worshiping food? A key question to ask ourselves is: “Do I sometimes feel guilty about what I’m eating?”
Charlene shares her own personal journey, one in which she often answered “yes” to that question-until 2007, when she made a decision never to eat in conflict with her conscience again. Through years of growth and transformation, she has come to a place where her love for God far outweighs any attachment to food, and she rarely, if ever, feels guilty about what she eats.
Food & Holiness is the fruit of this ongoing journey, offering a roadmap to help others break free from the grip of food idols and learn to love God more deeply than anything else. Charlene’s prayer is that this book will guide you toward freedom and fulfillment in your relationship with both food and God.

Shift : Courageously Moving From Season To Season
$18.99Discover a renewed sense of your purpose and the courage to move from what is to what can be.
We have a tendency to think of our own situation in polarizing terms: good or bad, up or down. We fall into the trap of thinking things are one way or another. We overlook the fact that there are transition times, such as the seasons between graduation and the amazing job, between divorce and remarriage, between a failure and a success.
The key from getting from one season in life to the next is surviving the shift and recognizing that it’s the period between the mistake and the mastery. Between what happened today and who you become tomorrow. To make the most of the shift, you must be willing to embrace and accept the consequences of past events and relinquish your attempts to alter or compensate for them. You must be willing to shift your paradigm from victim to victor. From survivor to thriver, from loser to chooser.
Full of relatable stories, practical, easily applicable advice, and deep scriptural insights, The Shift helps readers survive these in-between seasons with the courage that comes only when you’re sure of God’s purpose for your life.
This newly updated paperback edition of this classic book has three new chapters that help readers go even further in surviving and thriving in the recent shifts in our culture, as well as encouraging them to shift into living a life of legacy and purpose.

God Of Story
$18.99Many 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.

Raised In Splendor
$17.99When most ponder on the Christian walk, they will likely run up on terms such as justification, sanctification, and glorification. This famous trio points to the faith that justifies the believer, the life in which the believer is sanctified through the gaining of wisdom through the reading of Scripture, the testing of life in a broken world, and the guidance of the Holy Spirit, but many simply view glorification as the final part of the journey, as if it does not have an important reality for the believer today.
We live in a world where the idea of being glorified is either viewed through the lens of something that will eventually come, but has little importance now, or has an overfocused importance where believers only focus on their entry into heaven. Both are wrongfooted. Pastor and Theologian Jason Alligood provides a message of hope for the thoughtful Christian today. In Raised in Splendor, Jason Alligood communicates the hope of glory that transcends the fears and frustrations of a secular age that not only points to the hope for the future glorification, but that this hope is one that can be enjoyed and appreciated today.

Dawn Of Grace
$17.99From 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.

Where Did TJ Go
$17.99When a baby is on the way, everyone gets excited, including the little girls and boys who will have a new baby brother or sister to teach, play with, and care for. But sometimes things don’t work out as expected. Sometimes a baby doesn’t thrive. Sometimes they die and sometimes they can’t even be born.
Such a loss is hard on everyone–especially young children who wonder what happened to their baby brother or sister. Where are they now? Are they safe? Do they feel sad too? What about all the wonderful things they would have done if they had lived? Will they get to do them in heaven?
After her sister’s family suffered the loss of a baby, bestselling author Annie F. Downs wrote a story for her nephew, Sam, about where his baby brother TJ went. Beautifully illustrated by Jennie Poh, Where Did TJ Go? helps grieving families explain what happened and what kind of experiences a child might be having in heaven with the God who loves them and makes everything good in its time. Tender and sincere, this story doesn’t shy away from the hurt even as it offers comfort and hope to those left behind.
