Way Of Wisdom Bible Study Book With Video Access (Student/Study Guide)
$41.65The book of Proverbs describes godly wisdom as a path that leads to life and flourishing. It also warns of the folly of worldly wisdom as a path that leads to the grave. Every day we face the choice between the true riches of God’s instruction or the fool’s gold of earthly pleasures and pursuits. How often do we call to mind the wisdom found in the sayings of Proverbs to shed light on the path before us? How relevant do we even believe these ancient words are to our modern world?
In The Way of Wisdom – Bible Study Book with Video Access, Bible teachers Jen Wilkin, Ruth Chou Simons, Kelly Minter, Adrienne Camp, Elizabeth Woodson, and Courtney Doctor invite you to place your feet firmly on the path of life revealed in the book of Proverbs. As you consider wisdom principles on everyday topics like words, work, friendship, marriage, parenting, neighborliness, money management, leadership influence, and more, you’ll discover the wisdom of Proverbs as an invitation to steadily walk God’s way in God’s world.
Video Sessions:
*Session One: Introduction | The Beginning of Wisdom (36:28)-Join authors Jen Wilkin, Ruth Chou Simons, Kelly Minter, Adrienne Camp, Elizabeth Woodson, and Courtney Doctor for a conversation about what godly wisdom is, what it looks like to be a wise woman, and what role the book of Proverbs has played in their lives.
*Session Two: Two Paths, Two Women (47:17)-Jen Wilkin teaches on Proverbs 1-9, the opening chapters to the book of Proverbs. These chapters build the framework for the book and introduce readers to Lady Wisdom and Lady Folly, two figurative women used to teach the benefit of pursuing wisdom and the peril of rejecting it.
*Session Three: Wisdom in Our Words (28:16)-Ruth Chou Simons teaches on walking the way of wisdom in our words. The way of wisdom in our words isn’t a self-help program to get us what we want or to make others like us; it’s an alignment with God’s character, for His glory and our good.
*Session Four: Wisdom in Friendship and Neighborliness (36:56)-Kelly Minter teaches on walking the way of wisdom in our relationships with friends and neighbors. She draws connections between the principles in the book of Proverbs and the New Testament commands to extend to others compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience.
*Session Five: Wisdom at Home (35:30)-Adrienne Camp hosts a conversation with Courtney Doctor, Ruth Chou Simons, and Jen Wilkin on walking the way of wisdom at home. Conversat

Spiritual Warfare And Deliverance
$19.99There is much more to our common struggles than meets the eye:
– navigate spiritual warfare with Christian maturity and wisdom
– covers both ordinary spiritual warfare, like personal temptation, and “extraordinary” encounters, such as demonic oppression, possession, and exorcisms
– from a pastor, missionary, and former military chaplain
Our modern Western world is deeply confused about what is good and what is evil. We know little about angels and demons, though the Scriptures we purport to believe have much to say about them. We blur the distinction between God and the devil. And we are paying for it. Denial of reality does not change reality.
Drawing from Scripture, history, and his own experiences as a missionary and a military chaplain, Harold Ristau helps Christians develop a biblical understanding of our spiritual vulnerability in both “ordinary” life, such as personal temptation, and “extraordinary” situations such as demonic oppression and possession. He takes us beyond theory, where many other resources stop, laying out practical tools to equip us for our own personal battles and steps to take to protect ourselves and others from the evil forces at work in our world. And he lays out an effective, proven process for mature ministers and clergy to follow when performing an exorcism.
There is much more to the struggles we face in life than meets the eye. If you want to be prepared for the battles that lie ahead, this book is your grounded, thorough, and hope-filled guide to ministering to the demonically oppressed or possessed.

How Leaders Lose Their Way
$18.99Stay True to Your Mission for the Long Haul
How Leaders Lose Their Way is a powerful and reflective exploration of the pitfalls that can send leaders off course-drawing lessons from the life of King Solomon and the timeless wisdom of Ecclesiastes. This book serves as a cautionary tale, equipping leaders to recognize personal and spiritual drift while providing actionable steps to maintain their mission-focused leadership.
Authors Peter Greer and Jill Heisey masterfully blend Scripture with modern-day insights and practical case studies, making this book a compelling guide for pastors, ministry leaders, and organizational leaders aiming to avoid distractions, pressures, and temptations that pull them off course.
This book will help you:
*Admit vulnerability: Every leader is susceptible to losing their way. The first step in avoiding personal drift is recognizing that it could happen to you.

*Build a support network: Create accountability by building a community of trusted mentors and peers.
*Remain faithful: Regular reflection and confession can help you remain on the path of long-term faithfulness.
How Leaders Lose Their Way positions King Solomon as both a biblical hero and an antihero.

Each chapter includes actionable reflection tools and modern case studies designed to equip leaders with practical strategies for staying “mission true.”
This book is essential for Christian leaders who are ready to pause, reflect, and realign with their spiritual and organizational missions.

You Were Never Meant To Lead Alone
$20.99Build a Collaborative and Sustainable Ministry Structure
The work of the church is more than any one person can handle, and God never intended for one pastor to do all a church’s ministry alone.
Discover a communal and biblical model of missional leadership in You Were Never Meant to Lead Alone. In this book, E. K. Strawser seeks to recover the shared leadership model of the early church, offering a practical and inclusive alternative to hierarchical and patriarchal church leadership structures. This book invites pastors, church planters, and ministry leaders to rethink how leadership can empower the entire body of Christ. By identifying the gifts of apostles, prophets, evangelists, shepherds, and teachers, this book provides a vision for leadership that fosters collaboration, inclusivity, and spiritual flourishing.
In this book, Strawser
*Explores how shared leadership can be integrated into the structure of a church;
*Expands on the fivefold diversity of leadership: apostles, prophets, evangelists, shepherds, and teachers;
*Highlights how different gifts and leadership styles suit various aspects of ministry;
*Expands ministry beyond paid staff, promoting inclusivity regardless of gender, race, or culture;
*Addresses real-life power dynamics and temptations leaders face; and
*Offers practical, sustainable structures to multiply leaders for the benefit of the entire community.
This book argues that for the church to truly reflect the fullness of Christ, it must embrace the sharing of power. If you’re ready to reimagine ministry and build mature leadership in your church, start with You Were Never Meant to Lead Alone.

Bible Simplified Study Guide Plus Streaming Video (Student/Study Guide)
$24.99A simple guide to understanding the Bible
Let’s be honest. The Bible is complex. It’s intricate. It can be daunting. The first half is confusing, aside from the stories you might have learned in Sunday school . . . which are far more disturbing today than when you read them as a kid. Then Jesus appears, and while it’s amazing to read about his birth, and teachings, and wisdom, and miracles, it can cause you to wonder why he had to die for you. The final pages of the Bible are even more perplexing. Suddenly, you’re reading about visions, and beasts, and the very end of the world.
Perhaps this is why many of us find it easier to go to church and just listen to the pastor preach a sermon on the “good book” rather than tackle it ourselves. But if we do this, we miss out on so much. God has given us the Bible as a how-to guide for making the most out of life. The Bible should be our lifeline. We need to study it as much as we need to breathe!
This is where The Bible, Simplified can help. Over the course of eight weeks, bestselling author Zach Windahl will show you how all the stories in the Bible tell an interwoven story of God using people to bring his kingdom to the world. You will dig into historical context, learn about the different genres in the Bible (and why they are important), and discover proven methods of studying the Bible that will help you not only better understand what it means but also how it can transform your life and deepen your relationship with Christ.
God is calling you today to follow him. And he wants to speak to you through the Bible!

*A guide to best practices for leading a group
*Individual access to eight streaming video sessions

Live Free Teen Girls Bible Study Book With Video Access (Student/Study Guide)
$19.99Christ has set us free.
Everyone longs for freedom-the ability to live life to the fullest, unhindered by difficulty and pain. We look to our possessions, relationships, or intellect to fill this need. But by relying on these things for freedom, we unintentionally make them our savior instead of Christ. This exchange leaves us enslaved to the very things we hoped would set us free. In this eight-week, verse-by-verse study on the book of Galatians, author and Bible teacher Elizabeth Woodson reveals that through the gospel alone can we gain what we desire-: freedom from sin and freedom to experience the abundant life Jesus offers.

In this 8-session, verse-by-verse study on 2?Corinthians, Christine Hoover guides you through one of Paul’s most personal letters to discover how God is the ultimate source of the strength and sufficiency you need. You’ll find that God gives you strength to go on-through troubles, disappointments, and temptations-and strength to go forth, equipping you to serve Him and compelling you to share the gospel. Weakness is not a disqualifier or a flaw in our design. In fact, God shows Himself most powerfully in and through our fragility and vulnerability. We’re called, then, not to work harder or to hide our weaknesses, but to call upon God’s infinite resources and rely on Him.
Features:?
*Verse-by-verse study of 2 Corinthians
*8 video teaching sessions, available via redemption code printed in Bible study book for individual streaming access
*7 weeks of personal study to be completed between the 8 group sessions?
Video Sessions:
*Session 1: Introduction to 2 Corinthians (33:11)-In the Session 1 video teaching, Christine shares a portion of her own story of suffering to set the stage for the study of 2 Corinthians.

*Session 2: More than Enough for Suffering (36:48)-Christine unpacks the theme of comfort in 2 Corinthians 1:1-11 in the second video teaching. She talks about how the God of all comfort, comforts us in all our trials and difficulties. Then points out that we are to enter into the suffering of others by comforting them with the same kind of comfort we have received. She closes the teaching by sharing practical ways we can comfort others.
*Session 3: More than Enough for Service (30:24)-Christine digs into passages from chapter two in the Session 3 video teaching to emphasize that we don’t minister and serve out of our own power and ability, but it is God who makes us competent to serve. She reminds us that we can be confident in ministry not only because God empowers us, but He also is the one responsible for the results.
*Session 4: More than Enough for Steadfastness (29:58)-In this video teaching, Christine focuses on a part of 2 Corinthians that she calls one of the most beautiful passages in the letter.

Bible With And Without Jesus Participant Guide (Student/Study Guide)
$17.99Scholars show how Jews and Christians read the same texts differently.
This participant guide introduces the main text and further Scripture commentary and reflection questions. It, along with the leader guide and DVD, is everything needed for an engaging study for your small group.
In this Bible study based on their book, The Bible With and Without Jesus, esteemed Bible scholars and teachers Amy-Jill Levine and Marc Zvi Brettler take readers on a guided tour of the most popular Hebrew Bible passages quoted in the New Testament to show what the texts meant in their original contexts and then how Jews and Christians, over time, understood those same texts. Passages include the creation of the world, the role of Adam and Eve, the Suffering Servant of Isaiah, the book of Jonah, and Psalm 22, whose words, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me,” Jesus quotes as he dies on the cross.
Comparing various interpretations – historical, literary, and theological – of each ancient text, Levine and Brettler offer deeper understandings of the original narratives and their many afterlives. They show how the text speaks to different generations under changed circumstances, illuminating the Bible’s ongoing significance. By understanding the depth and variety by which these passages have been, and can be, understood, The Bible With and Without Jesus does more than enhance our religious understandings; it helps us to see the Bible as a source of inspiration for any and all readers.

He Is Here Teen Bible Study Book With Video Access (Student/Study Guide)
$19.99What do you do when you don’t feel God?
As Christians, sometimes we have mountain top experiences where God feels close and fellowship with Him is easy. Then there are times when we feel like we are wandering around in the desert and God is nowhere to be found. If you’ve ever felt like that, or feel that way now, you’re in good company. For forty years the Israelites wandered in the wilderness and many times they wondered, “Where is God?”
He is Here, by Ryan McDermott, is a seven-session Bible study designed to help you know what to do when (not if) you find yourself in the wilderness. Even if you don’t feel God, even if you seem to be in the wilderness, even if you’re confused, scared, and feel alone, He is here.
Features:
*Seven small-group sessions
*Seven interactive teaching videos featuring author; approximately 8-10 minutes for each session
*Leader Guide in the back of the Bible study book to guide questions and discussion with small groups
*Biblically rooted and gospel-centered
*Personal study opportunities for ongoing spiritual growth

Daring Joy Bible Study Book With Video Access (Student/Study Guide)
$19.99Joy can feel risky. When you’ve experienced pain of any kind, it can feel easier not to dream than to be disappointed, or not to hope than to be left heartbroken. If you ever feel like it’s safer not to embrace joy at all than to hold something that might break, you’re not alone. Thankfully, the Bible paints a different picture-one that gives you the courage to hold on to joy regardless of your circumstances.
In this 7-session Bible study, Nicole Zasowski draws from her experience as a licensed marriage and family therapist to point you to the enduring joy Jesus promises. Through the examples of six women in the Bible who model both the vulnerability of joy and the power of celebration, you’ll see that God longs for you to embrace abundant joy! Don’t miss out on your beautiful, God-given life because you’re busy preparing for the worst.
Session One: Introduction (16:19)-Join Nicole Zasowski as she sets out on the quest to find the courage to practice daring joy. In this introductory video, Nicole shares how years of trial and struggle made her suspicious of joy. But in the Bible, we find a completely different story-a story that opposes the fear that often accompanies our joy and offers us a playbook for how to practice this joy in all circumstances.
Session Two: Eve: Trusting God’s Joy (19:17)-In this video, Nicole examines how important joy is to God’s mission and how central it is to His character, as evident from the very beginning of the Bible when Eve enjoyed the perfect joy of relationship with God in the garden. We experience the fullness of joy when we believe God loves us and put our trust in Him.
Session Three: Sarah: The Vulnerability of Joy (12:18)-Through her own story and the story of Sarah in Genesis, Nicole explains why joy is one of the most vulnerable emotional experiences we can encounter. The very act of holding something wonderful is accompanied by the possibility of loss and heartbreak. But that posture keeps us from experiencing the fullness of joy God desires for us.
Session Four: Miriam: Comparing Our Joy (13:43)-If comparison is the thief of joy, how can we be women who accelerate joy in one another’s hearts? In this video teaching, Nicole extends an invitation for us to learn from Miriam’s example, consider the relational aspects of our joy, and encourage one another as we navigate the highs and lows of life together.
Session Five: Mary, The Mother of Jesus: The Best Joy (15:53)-Through the story of Mary, Nico

Serving Jesus Without Burning Out
$19.99The health of the church depends on the health of its leaders.
Whether due to emotional exhaustion, poor choices, moral failures, or stress and fatigue, church leaders are experiencing burnout at higher rates than ever before. In Serving Jesus without Burning Out, Steven A. McKinion and D. Scott Hildreth address some of the most problematic issues facing men and women in church leadership today, including a pervasive lack of rest and barriers to community, authenticity, and personal holiness.
To combat these issues, the authors construct a biblical framework of Christian ministry, prodding readers to consider what is driving their work of ministry. Then they recommend the importance of seeking continual spiritual growth and holiness in ministry. Finally, McKinion and Hildreth issue a warning to those who might make ministry an idol, urging Christians to do ministry for Christ and in Christ.
Serving Jesus without Burning Out helps ministers to survive, and even thrive, in the challenges and blessings of Christian ministry.

They Like Jesus But Not The Church
$19.99Many people today, especially among emerging generations, don’t resonate with the church and organized Christianity. Some are leaving the church and others were never part of the church in the first place. Sometimes it’s because of misperceptions about the church. Yet often they are still spiritually open and fascinated with Jesus. This is a ministry resource book exploring six of the most common objects and misunderstandings emerging generations have about the church and Christianity. The objections come from conversations and interviews the church has had with unchurched twenty and thirty-somethings at coffee houses. Each chapter raises the objection using a conversational approach, provides the biblical answers to that objection, gives examples of how churches are addressing this objection, and concludes with follow-through projection suggestions, discussion questions, and resource listings.

God’s story is a divine tapestry, intricately woven with intention from the beginning. Every thread connects the past, present, and future, revealing a Creator who intimately leans into your brokenness and chaos to bring redemption. From the first moments of creation, when God’s Spirit hovered over the waters, a plan full of shalom–wholeness and harmony–was set into motion. Humanity once walked in communion with God, but when we deviated from His design, sin began to unravel the beauty. Yet God’s love and plan never wavered.
Through the Noahic, Abrahamic, Mosaic, and Davidic Covenants, we see God’s faithfulness and His desire to restore creation. These promises build toward fulfillment in Jesus Christ and invite us to weave our lives into God’s larger narrative.
This six-week Bible study by author and pastor Tara Beth Leach explores these sacred threads, helping you see God’s redemptive hand in your life. No matter where you are in the story, there’s a place for you in His plans for restoration and renewal.

Multigenerational Church Crisis
$24.99Harness the strengths of every generation to create a church that endures
– open the lines of communication
– appreciate the experiences that shaped each generation in your church
– unite in one mission to impact your community and the worldIt may seem hard for younger Christians to believe that people over 50 were raised during an era when 90 percent of Americans identified as Christian. These older believers were once part of a majority group that understood the mission of the church was to take control of our culture to halt its evils. At the same time, Christians under 50 have lived their entire lives perceiving themselves as a minority that needs to make credible their faith to a secular, pluralistic culture.
These distinct experiences and perceptions have a profound impact on the priorities different generations have for church ministry. It’s no wonder that younger and older believers don’t always see eye to eye! But imagine what could be accomplished in the name of Christ if we could better understand each other and turn that understanding into shared purpose and aligned priorities?
Backed by thorough research, this eminently practical and hopeful book from pastor and scholar Bryan Chapell shows you how to open the lines of communication, appreciate the experiences that shaped each generation in your church, and unite in one mission to impact your community and the world.

Beyond Church And Parachurch
$20.00Discovering New Dimensions in Faith-Based Community Work
“A welcome and needed book addressing the current tensions and opportunities. . . . Dr. Ward’s foundational book points us to a way forward. I am enthused at what this book can do to lead us as church leaders and agency leaders to a new synergy.” – Jerry E. White, international president emeritus of The Navigators, a Christian parachurch organization
In a world where the church’s relevance is often questioned, Angie Ward offers a compelling blueprint for a unified ecclesial future in Beyond Church and Parachurch. Beyond Church and Parachurch is not just a historical and theological exploration; it’s a roadmap for rethinking the very essence of Christian ministry. Whether you’re a pastor, mission leader, or nonprofit executive, you will be challenged to transcend conventional boundaries and discover the full spectrum of the church’s potential.
*Holistic Understanding: Develops a comprehensive view that integrates both traditional and emerging forms of ministry.

*Inclusive Leadership: Emphasizes the importance of diverse leadership in fostering a more inclusive community.
*Practical Applications: Offers actionable insights and case studies to apply the concepts in real-world contexts.
*Future-Oriented: Focuses on long-term vision and sustainable practices for impactful ministry work.
Dive into a fresh understanding of the church in all its forms-be it campus ministries, mission agencies, or church-planting networks. Ward’s vision dismantles the silos that fragment evangelical efforts, urging us to view the church as an interconnected ecosystem of apostolic networks. This paradigm shift empowers leaders to maximize kingdom impact, fostering cooperation and collaboration across organizations. With practical insights and visionary guidance, Beyond Church and Parachurch equips Christian leaders to serve a world in need with renewed purpose and unity. Transform your ministry approach and join a movement that redefines what it means to be the church.

Gospel Driven Church
$24.99Many evangelical churches face the problem of the open “back door”–even as new people arrive, older members are leaving, looking for something else. Combined with this problem is the discipleship deficit, the difficult truth that most evangelicals are not reaching the unchurched at the rates they think they are. In fact, many of the metrics that we often “count” in the church to highlight success really don’t tell us the full story of a church’s spiritual state. Things like attendance, decisions, dollars, and experiences can tell us something about a church, but not everything.
To cultivate a spiritually healthy church we need a shift in our metrics–a “grace-shift” that prioritizes the work of God in the lives of people over numbers and dollars. Are people growing in their esteem for Jesus? Is there a dogged devotion to the Bible as the ultimate authority for life? Is there a growing interest in theology and doctrine? A discernible spirit of repentance? And perhaps most importantly, is there evident love for God and for our neighbors in the congregation?
Leading a church culture to shift from numerical success to the metrics of grace can be costly, but leaders who have conviction, courage, and commitment can lead while avoiding some of the landmines that often destroy churches. Wilson includes diagnostic questions that will help leaders measure–and lead team transparency in measuring as a group–the relative spiritual health of their church, as well as a practical prescriptive plan for implementing this metric-measuring strategy without becoming legalistic.
Most attractional church models can lean heavily on making changes to the weekend worship gatherings. And while some of these changes can be good, thriving grace-focused churches are driven by a commitment to the gospel, allowing the gospel to inform and shape the worship service and the various ministries of the church.

Original price was: $21.99.$15.97Current price is: $15.97.Are your thoughts leading you toward transformation or conformity? Are they building you up or tearing you down? Are they drawing you closer to God or pulling you away? In Every Thought Captive, you will explore a topic crucial for your spiritual growth: the battle for your mind. In Romans 12:2, we read these words: “Do not be conformed to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.” Just like molten glass, our lives are constantly being shaped and molded by the thoughts we think.
Join pastor and bestselling author Kyle Idleman for a five-session journey where you will learn to actively and intentionally challenge your thoughts. This isn’t a study on the power of positive thinking–or how you have the power to change your life–but about learning how God made your brain. He will transform your life as you learn to take every thought captive and submit it to the truth of his Word.

Care : Loving Your Church By Walking Through Life Together
$16.99Jesus commands his disciples to love one another and promises that “by this everyone will know that you are my disciples” (John 13:35). But what does genuine care for those in our church family look like?
This warm, practical book by Dwayne Bond goes beyond specific pastoral-care roles and responsibilities, and explores how all church members can love and care for one another in the rhythms of ordinary life.
In response to Jesus’ great love for us and the example he set, readers will explore how to honor one another, serve one another and bear each other’s burdens, as they seek to walk together as a family in the midst of a divided culture. They will see that following Jesus’ command to love one another deeply and practically will bring great joy as well as commending the gospel to those around them, as people see lives changed from the inside out.
This wonderful resource is not only a useful tool for church care teams but for every church member as each is encouraged to play his or her part in making people feel cared for and connected to the church family.
There are discussion questions with action steps at the end of every chapter, making this book ideal to read as a small group or even as a whole church. Bulk deals and free downloadable worksheets are available.
This is one of the books in the new Love Your Church series, which is being written by a collection of Bible teachers from Acts29. It is designed to inspire every church member to love their church in practical ways by casting a biblical vision of what it means to be a local community of God’s family. The series will explore what it means to belong, to welcome, to gather, to care, to serve and to honor one another, and to witness and send people out to spread the gospel. Choose the resources that cover the areas most helpful to your particular church-family needs.
