Play The Man
$15.99Add to cartSomewhere along the way, our culture lost its definition of manhood, leaving generations of men and men-to-be confused about their roles, responsibilities, relationships, and the reason God made them men. It’s into this “no man’s land” that New York Times bestselling author Mark Batterson declares his mantra for manhood: play the man.
In this inspiring call to something greater, he helps men understand what it means to be a man of God by unveiling seven virtues of manhood. Mark shares inspiring stories of manhood, including the true story of the hero and martyr Polycarp, who first heard the voice from heaven say, “Play the man.” Mark couples those stories with practical ideas about how to disciple the next generation of men. This is more than a book; it’s a movement of men who will settle for nothing less than fulfilling their highest calling to be the man and the father God has destined them to be.
Play the man. Make the man.

All In : You Are One Decision Away From A Totally Different Life
$18.99Add to cartThe Gospel costs nothing. You can’t earn it or buy it. It can only be received as a free gift which is compliments of God’s grace. It doesn’t cost anything, but it demands everything. It demands that we go “all in,” putting all that we have into God’s hands. And that’s where we get stuck-in spiritual no man’s land. We’re afraid that if we go all in that we might miss out on what this life has to offer. It’s not true.
The only thing you’ll miss out on is everything God has to offer. And the good news is this: if you don’t hold out on God, God won’t hold out on you. Readers will find Batterson’s writing filled with his customary vivid, contemporary illustrations as well as biblical characters like Shamgar and Elisha and Jonathan and . . . Judas.
No one has ever sacrificed anything for God. If you always get back more than you gave up, have you sacrificed anything at all? The eternal reward always outweighs the temporal sacrifice. At the end of the day, our greatest regret will be whatever we didn’t give back to God. What we didn’t push back across the table to Him. Eternity will reveal that holding out is losing out.
The message of All In is simple: if Jesus is not Lord of all then Jesus is not Lord at all. It’s all or nothing. It’s now or never. Kneeling at the foot of cross of Christ and surrendering to His Lordship is a radical act of dethroning yourself and enthroning Christ as King. It’s also an act of disowning yourself. Nothing belongs to you. Not even you.
Batterson writes, “For many years, I thought I was following Jesus. I wasn’t. I had invited Jesus to follow me. I call it inverted Christianity. And it’s a subtle form of selfishness that masquerades as spirituality. That’s when I sold out and bought in. When did we start believing that the gospel is an insurance plan? It’s a daring plan. Jesus did not die just to keep us safe. He died to make us dangerous.”

Grave Robber Participants Guide (Student/Study Guide)
$12.00Add to cartDo we believe that God still does miracles? Do we expect him to move in miraculous ways in our day-in and day-out lives? Maybe we’d like to see miracles, but it’s hard to see past our problems. All that is about to change, like water into wine.
“There are miracles all around us all the time,” says Mark Batterson, “but you won’t see them if you don’t know how to look for them.”
Now the bestselling author of The Circle Maker reveals the incredible power of the seven miraculous signs of Jesus found in the Gospel of John. Batterson shows how they were not simply something Jesus did in the past, but something he wants to do now, in the present. He shares true stories of people today who are experiencing miracles in their lives. And he brings to light countless miracles, big and small, that we take for granted every day that point us toward the One who healed the sick, calmed the storm, and yes, even raised the dead.
But this is more than a book about miracles. It’s a book about the only One who can perform them. Batterson cautions readers, “Don’t just seek miracles. Seek Jesus. And if you seek Jesus, miracles will find you.”
Nothing has changed since Jesus called Lazarus out of his tomb four days after his funeral. Our impossible situations still double as God’s greatest opportunity to reveal his glory. No matter how big the problem is, God is bigger still. Anyone who longs to see God work in miraculous ways today will love Batterson’s faith-building, life-giving message.

Ladron De Tumbas – (Spanish)
$13.99Add to cartCreemos que Dios todavia hace milagros? Estamos expectantes que El se mueva de manera milagrosa en el dia a dia de nuestra vida? Tal vez nos gustaria ver milagros, pero es muy dificil ver mas alla de nuestros problemas. Todo lo que esta a punto de cambiar, como agua en vino.
“Hay milagros a nuestro alrededor todo el tiempo, – dice Mark Batterson – pero no los veras si no sabes como buscarlos.”
Ahora, el autor de exito del libro El hacedor de circulos, revela el poder increible de las siete seales milagrosas de Jesus encontradas en el Evangelio de Juan. Batterson nos muestra que aquellas seales no fueron algo que Jesus realizo en el pasado, sino que es algo que El quiere hacer ahora, en el presente. El nos comparte historias verdaderas de gente que hoy estan experimentado milagros en sus vidas. Y da a luz un sinnumero de milagros, grandes y pequeos, que damos por sentado, que tenemos a diario, que nos lleva hacia Aquel que sana al enfermo, calma la tempestad, y que efectivamente, levanto a los muertos.
Este es un libro que habla de algo mas que milagros. Es un libro sobre el unico que puede hacer milagros. Batterson advierte a los lectores, “No busque unicamente milagros, Busque a Jesus. Y si buscas a Jesus, los milagros te encontraran.”
Nada ha cambiado desde que Jesus llamo a Lazaro para que saliera de la tumba cuatro dias despues de su funeral. Las situaciones imposibles todavia son una doble oportunidad para que Dios nos revele su Gloria. No importa que tan grande sea el problema, Dios es todavia mas grande. Cualquiera que anhele ver a Dios obrando de manera milagrosa hoy, amara el mensaje edificador de la fe y dador de vida de Batterson.

All In Student Edition
$16.99Add to cartThe Gospel costs nothing—it’s a free gift compliments of God’s grace. But while it doesn’t cost anything, it demands everything—including that we go ‘all in,’ a term that means placing all that you own into the game of life. And that’s where many of us get stuck. What if we miss out on what this life has to offer? The truth is, the only thing you’ll miss out on is everything God has to offer. Inside these pages, Mark Batterson shares vivid stories of people going all in for a greater purpose, ranging from the against-all-odds defense of Little Round Top in the Civil War to the lives of biblical characters like Shamgar and Moses and Elijah and Caleb and … Judas. The message of All In Student Edition is simple: if Jesus is not Lord of all then Jesus is not Lord at all. It’s all or nothing. It’s now or never. Jesus gave all of Himself for you on Calvary’s cross. He wants all of you in return. In essence, your life is not your own—but it can be more amazing than you ever dared imagine if you decide to go all in.
