Memorizing Scripture : The Basics, Blessings, And Benefits Of Meditating On
$14.99Add to cartReclaiming the art of Scripture memorization
Bible memory has fallen on hard times. It can feel unnecessary since we have Scripture at our fingertips. Or it just feels daunting and unattainable–you know it’s important, but you’re just not good at it.
Writer, mother, and lover of Scripture Glenna Marshall shows us that to love God with our hearts, we must first love him with our minds. Through Scripture memorization, we begin to meditate on God’s word. This causes us to think deeply about God, which leads to intimacy and trust. Scripture memory bolsters our daily faith, grows us in discernment, and gives us courage to walk through trials. It arms us with what we need to share the gospel, to fight sin, and to encourage our brothers and sisters in Christ!
But how and where do we begin? Glenna gives us practical tools! Even long passages or books of the Bible can be hidden in our hearts with small, doable, daily bites. You’ll look at how to memorize Scripture in Bible study groups or local church settings as well as with children and friends.
Scripture memorization is the path we travel to obey God’s command to meditate on His Word. You will be transformed as the Bible takes root in your heart. The more we know His Word, the more we will–with the help of the Holy Spirit–be shaped like Jesus. You can do this! Memorizing Scripture shows you how!

Closer Than Your Next Breath
Original price was: $18.99.$14.97Current price is: $14.97.Add to cartGod is omnipresent–meaning He’s here, there, everywhere all at the same time–so no matter what you’re going through today or worried about facing tomorrow, He is closer than you can imagine, and His presence changes everything.
The God of creation cares deeply about every detail of our personal lives. He’s in charge of every galaxy and has named every star. He also knows about the hurts in our hearts and the hairs on our heads. He’s near and far. His glory fills the universe, and yet He’s up close and involved.
Though we believe in our minds that God is all-powerful, all-knowing, and all-present, sometimes we don’t feel his closeness. How can we walk boldly in our faith, expecting Him to draw near to us as we draw near to Him, as promised in the book of James? In Closer Than Your Next Breath, bestselling author, speaker, and radio host Susie Larson helps readers experience God’s trustworthiness and love–even when they feel far from Him. In this book, readers will explore these questions and more:
*How do I know if I’m hearing the voice of God?
*Is feeling good the same as feeling God?
*Is there anything I can do when God seems silent?
*How should God’s presence impact me?There’s nothing like God’s presence in our lives, but sometimes we chase the sensational and miss the supernatural. Worship services, retreats or conferences, and mountaintop experiences are great, but too often we rush right by the nuanced, miraculous ways God shows up in our story every day. When we pursue the heart of God through the Word of God, that’s when we experience the presence of God–and it makes all the difference in our lives.

Siempre Te Amara – (Spanish)
$14.99Add to cartSiempre te amara es el recordatorio de que Dios nos ama en todo momento y de que El demuestra su Amor incondicional, no solo en cada momento de nuestros dias, sino en una diversidad de expresiones. Podemos sentirlo en un susurro en el aire, a traves de gestos de las personas, o en cada destello del amanecer. Sin embargo, la base de este libro tan inspirador es como Bernardo Stamateas presenta El Cantar de los Cantares como una metafora del amor de Dios hacia nosotros. Tal vez pensaste hasta ahora que esta poetica seccion de la Biblia ilustraba el amor de pareja y, en efecto, asi es. En este libro aprendemos a entender este pasaje biblico como la definicion y exaltacion del eterno romance entre Dios y su creacion… entre Cristo y su Iglesia… un amor incondicional diario y eterno.
Siempre te amara is the reminder that God loves us at all times and that He shows his unconditional love, not only in every moment of our days but in a diversity of expressions. We can feel it in a whisper in the air, through people’s gestures, or in every flash of dawn. However, the basis of this inspiring book is how Bernardo Stamateas presents El Cantar de los Cantares as a metaphor of God’s love for us. Perhaps you thought until now that this poetic section of the Bible illustrated the love of a couple, and, indeed, it is. In this book, we learn to understand this biblical passage as the definition and exaltation of the eternal romance between God and his creation… between Christ and his church… a daily and eternal unconditional love.

Centering Jesus : How The Lamb Of God Transforms Our Communities, Ethics, A
$17.99Add to cartWhat happens when Jesus becomes obscured from our point of view?
With all the hostility boiling just under the surface of our world, we need a renewed vision of Jesus as the Lamb of God who can lead us in the peaceable ways of the Kingdom. When we fail to keep Jesus at the center of our lives, we lean into the desires of our hearts more than the desires God has for us. As a result, our entire spirituality becomes driven by the self and for the self. We need renewed practices of centering Jesus in our hearts and minds.
In Centering Jesus, Derek Vreeland invites you to imagine what it looks like to keep Jesus as the Lamb of God at the center of three key areas of our lives-our spiritual formation, our moral lives, and our common life together. With the deep divide in American culture and the polarization that continues to grow, we need a renewed focus on the Lamb so that we might blaze a path forward into civility and kindness.
Learn how to
*identify the problems that occur when Jesus is obscured from our view;
*walk through some of the key biblical descriptions of the Lamb;
*describe a Lamb-shaped and Jesus-centered approach to the Christian virtues of faith, hope, and love, the foundation of our moral lives; and
*experience the Lamb at the center of common life together, specifically worship life, participation in acts of justice, and political life.

Tired Of Trying
$17.99Add to cartWhat if that hard thing you’re going through is not happening to you but for you?
You’ve tried it all-saying the right words and prayers, reading the right Bible verses-but nothing seems to work. What do you do when your faith doesn’t seem to be “working” anymore?
Ashley Morgan Jackson is no stranger to this kind of spiritual exhaustion and discouragement. Much like the biblical character Jacob, Ashley wrestled with God, trying desperately to keep trusting Him despite her pain. It was here she found that sometimes God requires us to hold on to Him so we can let go of everything holding us back.
Rich with biblical encouragement, personal story, and practical application, Tired of Trying is an invitation to wrestle-and face God in your greatest fears, pains, and unanswered questions. You’ll learn to:
*break out of the cycle of frustration by saying yes to wrestling;
*identify the lies you are believing about God, yourself, and your circumstances and replace them with truth;
*shift your perspective so you can choose faith, persevere, and discover God’s purpose for you.
Choosing to wrestle isn’t easy or quick-but it does have purpose. What seemingly tears us down may be an opportunity to grow. God is good at redeeming heartache. When we reach the place where the only choice is to run to God or run from Him, we can hold tight . . . because transformation and blessing will come.

Come Out From Among Them
$19.99Add to cartIf God’s chosen people were meant to be set apart, then why are we staying trapped by the world?
After reading this book, you will have the boldness and the integrity to make an impact for the Kingdom of Heaven by tearing down the dark deceptions of the enemy that are plaguing our culture today.
In 2021, evangelist Todd Coconato had an angelic visitation that rocked him to the core. The angelic messenger told him two things: “Come out from among them,” and, “Be consecrated.” For the next year, Coconato sought God to understand the message for himself and the body of Christ.
In Come Out From Among Them, Coconato shares what he believes God is calling the body of Christ to in this season: to come out of the Babylon system and truly be set apart, not participating in the wickedness of this hour or listening to the modern-day prophets of Baal–the “fake news” media! This is a time of great shaking and awakening, and the church can no longer be a silent majority. This is a time for action.
In this book, Coconato shows God’s remnant warriors how to:
*Truly be set apart;
*Refuse to conform to the wickedness of this hour; and
*Take back the culture for the kingdom of God. -
What Jesus Intended
$20.00Add to cartHave you lost your footing in church? Or has the church lost its footing?
Many of us feel unsteady, disoriented, even crushed after an endless string of scandals within the walls of a place meant to offer compassion and safety. Others feel forced to draw back or distance ourselves from the church. All the while, our instincts tell us this is not what Jesus wanted for his people. But what did he intend?
After four decades of ministry, Anglican bishop Todd Hunter is no stranger to betrayal and pain in the church. Still, he has hope. He believes more than ever that Jesus is who the world needs and that Jesus has plans for his followers. In What Jesus Intended, Hunter offers a vision for emerging from the rubble of bad religion and rebuilding faith among a community of sincere believers. By unpacking the purposes of Jesus, we can expose twisted, toxic religion for what it is and embrace the true aims of the gospel.
Come for a fresh hearing of Jesus-one that offers us the healing and goodness we’ve always longed for.

$18.99Add to cartIs your understanding of who God is and how he works in our lives today a little sketchy? Daniel DeWitt’s Sketchy Views is a beginner’s guide to making sense of God.
Everybody has beliefs about God. There are a million ways to get God wrong, but there’s only a narrow path to getting him right. In order to understand God, we have to go back to the Bible, but that can be overwhelming if you are new to theology.
Sketchy Views uses words and sketches to help readers visually connect with and understand what basic Christian theology is and is not. DeWitt helps readers understand why what we think about God is the most important thing about us. Because God is the most important topic a person can think about, the way we think about God (our theology) is our most valuable and important collection of our thoughts and words.

Misled : 7 Lies That Distort The Gospel And How You Can Discern The Truth
$28.99Add to cartThe gospel is under attack today–not only from outside cultural forces but also from within the church. In Misled, popular YouTuber and Bible teacher Allen Parr equips readers to identify and withstand seven of the most common false teachings that undermine the gospel and lead many well-meaning Christians astray.
For an anxious and weary world, the gospel of Jesus Christ is the one true source of deep peace and lasting joy. But today, many supposedly Christian teachers are spreading ideas that amount to what Paul called “another gospel.”
The result? A generation of believers confused about what God really says, what he offers, and what he wants for his children. From the heavy burden of legalism to an overemphasis on prosperity or spiritual gifts to warped understandings of grace, every false teaching has two things in common: they all use half-truths that look and sound biblical (making them very difficult to identify) and they all harm and discourage those who are trying to follow the way of Jesus.
In Misled, Allen Parr weaves together stories from his own spiritual journey and the lives of those he’s ministered to in order to show the painful consequences of following false teachings and to provide clear explanations of what the Bible really teaches about the gospel. Readers will
*learn about seven of the most misleading and harmful messages that run rampant within the church today;
*be equipped to identify not only “wolves in shepherd’s clothing” who peddle counterfeit gospels, but also well-intentioned teachers whose half-truths are no less harmful to the church; and
*discover how they can find the freedom, peace, and joy that only comes from embracing the gospel in all its purity and simplicity.
With the same balanced, Bible-based approach that has made Parr’s YouTube channel a go-to resource, Misled offers clarity and hope for anyone who has felt discouraged or confused in their spiritual journey–and invites readers to find everything they’ve been searching for in the true gospel.

Spacious Path : Practicing The Restful Way Of Jesus In A Fragmented World
$31.99Add to cartA simple invitation into a life ordered around listening and love
As we live through cycles of change and disruption, our familiar pathways crumble and we find ourselves in fragmented relationships with God, others, and our own souls. We are not the first to experience this disorientation: When Jesus offered the stunning invitation to come to him to learn how to work from a place of rest, he was talking to people weighed down by ill-fitting political, economic, and religious systems. And his life and ministry offer a glimpse of a better way.
For centuries a practice called the Rule of Life-built around rhythms of prayer, work, study, hospitality, and rest-has provided a loving pathway for anyone who desires to live out the whole gospel. More than a historic primer on an ancient practice, an aspirational overview of spiritual life, or a personal inventory focused on habits, The Spacious Path offers companionship through personal narrative, meaningful reflection, and guided prayer for readers to return to as often as needed.
Rediscover an ancient Christian practice to reorient your life around the unforced rhythms of Jesus, not by adding another ill-fitting system but by walking freely and lightly on the pathways of listening and love in the way of Jesus.

If our chaotic culture has left you drained of joy, here’s some good news: there is a way to get it back–and keep it.
Let’s face it. Joy is becoming as scarce in our culture as fresh eggs at the grocery store. Constant headlines about one catastrophe after another, along with living in a society bent on erasing God from our consciousness, can leave us stressed out and working hard just to get by–far from the good life of abundant joy Jesus promised us.
And yet, He did promise us that His yoke is easy and His burden is light. So how do we go about seizing the good life from the jaws of depression and hopelessness that threaten us now?
Shellie Rushing Tomlinson has walked this path and knows the way. With the Gospel according to John as her roadmap–and plenty of personal stories, insights, and a healthy dollop of humor for good measure–she can help you not only rediscover the peace and joy found in friendship with Jesus, the Lover of your soul, but maintain it over the long haul.
God never intended for you to hold on to a dry faith with chewed-up fingernails. You really can know peace and joy in the middle of our anxious and angry culture. A deep dive into this study will help you seize the good life once again.

When Your Way Isnt Working
$27.99Add to cartWhen you are worn-out, when you feel discouraged, when you think you don’t have what it takes, what is the one thing that Jesus wants you to never forget? When Your Way Isn’t Working equips you to discover authentic connection to God and others so you are free to live the life you long for.
In some of his final words to his closest friends, Jesus didn’t suggest a five-year plan for success or a checklist of things to do. Instead, he offered a metaphor about what the good life really looks like: I am the vine. You are the branches. Abide in me. In other words, No matter what happens next, the most important thing is to stay connected to me.
In When Your Way Isn’t Working, pastor and bestselling author Kyle Idleman offers a unique exploration of John 15 for all of us who are going through the motions and feel frustrated. Idleman reminds us that it’s connection, not production, that leads to a fruitful life–relationships, not circumstances, that bring joy. He offers his distinctive, biblical perspective on how to:
*Find greater rest, depth, and connection in your life
*Embrace freedom from the pressures of performance and production
*Recognize what you can’t do makes room for what God can do
*Step out of isolation even when it feels scary
*Discover the top distractions that keep you from connecting to God–and how to counter themIn the end, the fruit of your life won’t have to do with what you accomplished but with whom you stayed connected. Because no matter what happens next in this uncertain world, what matters most, lasts the longest, and brings the greatest joy is staying connected to the God who never leaves you.

Learning how to pray is one of the greatest challenges in a Christian’s life. A. W. Tozer pointed out that the church’s greatest curse is unanswered prayer and that many people do not seem bothered by that. Maybe they don’t understand what answered prayer is all about. Tozer outlines this as only he can, describing the kind of prayer God answers and the kind of prayer that leaves Him silent. Ultimately, you have to ask yourself: are my prayers today more powerful and effective than they were a year ago? Our good Father wants them to be!
The book opens with Jacob’s Ladder and its theme of ascending into God’s very presence. What better place to begin dialoguing with God? Only He can teach us what is on His heart, what His will is, and what our part in it could be.

Valuable : Why Your Worth Is Not Defined By How Useful You Feel
$15.99Add to cartWe all want to be useful to God, but often we feel that we’re not, or, because of illness or other difficulties, that we can’t be as active as we’d like to be. Liz Carter wants to rescue us from the spiral of feeling useless that we get caught in, and to show us that being useful isn’t what Christianity is about. In fact, the Bible barely talks about God using people at all.
Weaving together insightful scriptural analysis and beautifully told stories, Liz takes us on a journey to see what the Bible really says about weakness, identity and God’s purposes for us: helping us to see ourselves and our relationship with God in an entirely different and much more glorious way. Readers will discover that our purpose as Christians is not about being useful but about being known by God and enjoying him.
This book is particularly helpful for those struggling with long-term physical or mental illness, but it’s also a great encouragement to Christians who feel that they are not good enough or useful enough to God for other reasons.
Questions at the end of each chapter make this a helpful resource to read with a friend or in groups.

Faith Like A Child

A well-known challenge of Jesus to his followers is to become like little children. But it’s often difficult to remember the natural patterns of our childhood selves that enabled us to live freely in God’s wonder-filled presence. Is childlike faith simply an unquestioning faith, or is it being present with ourselves in a way that invites healing and wholeness?
Faith Like a Child considers Jesus’ invitation to childlike faith and explores seven distinct ways of welcoming the child within. Offering wisdom from years of experience as a spiritual director with both adults and children, Lacy Finn Borgo explores practices to welcome and enliven your childhood self. Offering examples of what becoming like children could look like, Borgo invites you to take Jesus up on his offer to live more deeply into a relationship with God.
As we welcome our childhood selves, we allow God to heal our wounds so we can live in freedom with Jesus as our companion.

No matter what has happened on this side of eternity between you and your earthly dad, Seeing God as a Perfect Father will help you:
*Embrace who God is and discover the truth and beauty of his nature
*Understand that God uniquely created you and loves you unconditionally
*Unlock the chains holding you captive and find freedom in who you are in Christ

Now I Become Myself
$19.99Add to cartThe experience of shame is more common than we think. It isn’t confined to those who have failed or gone through trauma or who have been told as children they would never amount to anything. People who are immensely successful also struggle with a sense they are deficient in some way.

$17.99Add to cartGod wired your brain for transformation.
Jesus told his followers, “Go and make disciples of every nation,” but a lot of us stop before we start-because we feel like we don’t have what it takes. But Jesus didn’t ask spiritual superstars to make disciples. He invited ordinary people into the adventure of following Him.
Jessie Cruickshank learned how to be a disciplemaker in the wilderness. When she connected her training in outdoor adventure ministry with her Harvard degree in neuroeducation, God showed her a pathway for ordinary disciples of Jesus to experience profound spiritual growth.
*You can help someone choose to go somewhere they have never gone before and to be brave enough to choose to change.
*You can model a new way of living.
*And you can share your own hard-fought wisdom on the journey of faith.

Dont Look Back
Original price was: $28.99.$17.97Current price is: $17.97.Add to cartMoving on is not a one-time decision. It’s a way of living
There are times in life when we look back and feel desperate to make time stand still, particularly when we get blindsided by unexpected changes. But we can’t stop the flow of life, and we can’t stop time. What’s more, looking back doesn’t enable us to go back. More often than not, it just makes us stuck. In a place. In a space. In a memory. In a mindset. In a habit.In John 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 motivates us to stop looking back, to get unstuck and to keep moving forward into God’s promises and purpose for our lives.
We may not know all God’s plans for us. We may not know where we are going, how long it will take us, or what we will encounter along the way, but with the strategies Christiane Caine gives, we can move on from where we are to where God wants us to be. In this new book, Christine will motivate you to:
*stop looking back and start looking to Jesus;
*invite Jesus in to help you get unstuck from the many places we often find ourselves;
*move on from where you are into all God’s plans, purposes, and promises for your life; and
*look forward to the future and keep moving toward it in faith–especially when your world is nothing like it once was.
Jesus is beckoning us onward into the newness of what lies ahead. Stop disqualifying yourself by getting stuck in the past. It’s time to remember Lot’s wife and not look back but move forward boldly.
