Advance
$7.99Add to cartHow can young adults make the best use of these years? Be like Jesus and advance!…in wisdom, stature, and favor with God and man.
Your teens and 20s will be put to the best and highest use if you make them a time of sanctification. Even now you can make bold steps in overcoming sin and embracing righteousness.
The Christian faith rises and falls upon this remarkable fact: God became man. Even Jesus had to grow from a baby to an adult, from immaturity to maturity. Even he had to submit to his parents and advance in wisdom, stature, and favor with both God and man.
Advance! is my call to teens and young adults to learn from Jesus and make these years a time of deliberate preparation for the rest of life. I plead with you to use these years not first to focus on outward accomplishments that might shape the world, but inward achievements that will shape your character. In short, I call on you to be like Jesus.

Set An Example
$7.99Add to cartGod means for your life to be a canvas, the setting for a beautiful work of art. And he also expects this work of art to be seen, admired, and imitated…

There are many ways to invest your time at this stage of your life, but the Bible has convinced me that none is better than the pursuit of godliness. In Paul’s letter to young Timothy, you (yes, you!) are called to be an example to your peers and even to older Christians. He calls you to set an example of maturity and godliness in your speech, conduct, love, faith, and purity.
Join me as together we explore these areas and see how they apply to what you think, what you say, what is hidden in your heart, and what is broadcast in your life.

Have You Ever Wondered
$16.99Add to cartIn just a couple of generations America has moved from a “Christian nation” to a “post- Christian nation.” We’ve drifted from the moorings of biblical authority, absolute truth, God as Creator and Designer of the universe, and Jesus Christ as the death-conquering Savior.

Russ Whitten systematically challenges the prevailing culture and the drifting church to examine the overwhelming evidences for God, Jesus, and the Bible. He employs logic and scientific evidence to point to the eternal truths that have created and sustained our world. Whitten’s ultimate goal is for readers know that the Christian faith is not only true, but is immensely attractive, extremely satisfying, and profoundly relevant.

Liked : Whose Approval Are You Living For
$14.99Add to cartThe purpose of life is to point to Jesus, not ourselves. We discover our best life possible when we passionately pursue God’s approval.
Deep down, we all want to be liked. We want to know, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that our life matters. So we look for ways to prove our importance and self-worth. We rely on numbers to tell us how we’re doing, how many followers we attract on social media, how many “likes” we get on a post, or how many parties we’re invited to.
But even when a new personal high is reached, the joy is temporary. It’s short-lived and fleeting. As our joy fades, self-doubt returns, and once again we feel that familiar urge to prove ourselves. We start a new quest to show we’re a Somebody because secretly, we fear we may be a Nobody.
Liked will help girls understand how to channel their talents and energies into things with eternal value and, in the process, find the love, friendships, confidence, and strength of character they desire. They will see that true identity is God-based, and that it is a pure and wonderful identity filled with Christ’s love.

Cross Words : A Devotional For Youth
$29.95Add to cartYouth (and their parents, mentors, and leaders) are continually seeking a devotional from a mainline Christian perspective that honors them. Different than many youth devotionals, which use punitive language and the context of purity, Cross Words is a devotional for students that is engaging and realistic about their brokenness alongside God’s redeeming grace and forgiveness. It will help them walk through the daily blessings and challenges of life, offering opportunities to consider how their faith might be strengthened through those experiences. Each week offers a brief reflection followed by a question to ponder, Scripture, prayer, or quote to use as a daily touchstone in the coming days, set in a format with open space for their own writing and drawing. Using approachable wording that doesn’t require them to learn a new language in order to understand the reflection will appeal to today’s teens. Meeting young people where they are on their journey, it can be used for personal devotion or in educational settings, youth meetings, confirmation classes, mission trips, pilgrimages, retreats, coffee shops, or with families around the supper table.

Living In A Gray World
$16.99Add to cartIn today’s world, the topic of homosexuality seems to be part of everyday conversation in the media, in politics, and even inside churches, with pressure to accept one view or the other. And if you’re a Christian teen, there seems to be few easy answers to the issues you regularly encounter, such as: Can you be friends with someone who is gay? What if your sister is a lesbian, or you sometimes wonder if you might be as well? Does the Bible really say homosexuality is wrong? What does God want us to do and say? Preston Sprinkle has encountered these same questions, and as a theologian and a college professor he has dealt with these issues firsthand. Through honest conversation, real-life examples, and biblical research, Sprinkle unpacks what we can know to be true, and how Scripture’s overall message to us today allows us to move forward and find answers that align with God’s intent.

Beyond Championships Teen Edition
$16.99Add to cartIn Beyond Championships Teen Edition, Coach Dru Joyce lays out the steps teens can follow to become winners on and off the court.

In less than ten years, Coach Dru went from someone resigned to a dull-yet-stable existence to one of the highest profile basketball coaches in the country, despite having virtually no background in the sport. It was an incredible transformation, the type most people only dream of, but one Coach Dru proved can become a reality with the right combination of faith and hard work. Beyond Championships Teen Edition focuses on the nine principles Coach Dru promotes to his players and tries to live his own life. While these principles act as the foundation on which Coach Dru has built so many successful basketball teams, their universality ensures that they can be applied to any situation.
