Justice Of Jesus
$19.99The history of the Western church is stained by injustice. The impulse to resist justice and look the other way has harmed the church and the people it aims to serve. But a different future is possible.
In The Justice of Jesus, Joash Thomas surveys the history of injustice and colonization in the Global South at the hands of the Western church. He shows that in addition to harming colonized peoples, colonization has limited Western Christians’ understanding of the gospel, leading us to devalue the pursuit of justice for our neighbors on the margins.
A St. Thomas Christian born and raised in India, Thomas reflects on his experience in churches across denominations in both the Global South and the Global North. He challenges the status quo, examines beliefs that keep the church from pursuing liberation and wholeness, and explores the relationship of justice to our budgets, pulpits, and theology.
The Justice of Jesus is both a prophetic diagnosis and a hopeful prognosis. Readers will be encouraged with fresh ideas for prioritizing justice through prayer, partnerships, and advocating for the vulnerable in their communities and around the world.

When Hurting People Come To Church
$22.99People are hurting at a scale we’ve never seen. They’re dealing with an onslaught of issues like anxiety, grief, mental illness, family troubles, and hopelessness. Pastors and counselors can’t see everyone in need. This book can help.
Based on national research with more than 2,000 church leaders, social researcher and bestselling author Shaunti Feldhahn and psychologist and professor Dr. James Sells show how this is the church’s moment -and present a tested vision that is already thriving in churches of every size across the country!
We have an incredible opportunity to bring healing to the hurting, take the load off of the already-too-busy pastor and counselor, and grow healthy church communities of care–for now and many years to come.
Today, we face a dramatic rise in every psychological and spiritual need, just as affordable counseling solutions are more difficult to find. For perspective, 25 million people–more than the population of Florida–are not getting help for severe anxiety alone. Enter the church and millions of Christian lay people who understand brokenness, grace, and the power of relationship.
In every community, the church has the opportunity to be a key place people go for help . In fact, church growth experts describe this type of church care ministry as the evangelism, discipleship, and church growth method of the 21st century.
This book will share how this works, and equip you as a busy leader to:
*understand the mental health crisis in your community
*raise up motivated lay people within the church to help address the spiritual and emotional needs of the hurting
*partner with counselors and other mental health professionals most effectively
*organize the church’s time and resources to reach the most people, while freeing you to step in where you are most needed
*grow your outreach to your community
Don’t miss this opportunity to meet people’s needs, grow your people, and grow your church.

Pilgrimage Into Letting Go
$21.99How parents and pastors can trade anxiety for authentic relationships
What do pastors and parents have in common? They often feel pressure to be in control.
If you’re an anxious parent watching your teens navigate an unpredictable world or a ministry leader overwhelmed by the pressure to “save” the church in today’s challenging landscape, Andy and Kara Root understand your struggle–and they’ve discovered a transformative path forward. They learned that releasing control actually helps us regain genuine connection.
When control-focused approaches to Christian parenting and church leadership left them exhausted, this ministry couple followed the ancient way of Saint Cuthbert and embarked on an extraordinary sixty-three-mile walking pilgrimage across England and Scotland with their two kids. In this book, they offer:
*strategies for parents to move from anxiety-driven control to faith-based guidance that strengthens family relationships,
*insights for pastors and ministry leaders on embracing uncertainty as a pathway to authentic spiritual leadership amid declining church attendance,
*biblical wisdom for modern parenting challenges to help you navigate raising teenagers in today’s tumultuous world, and
*wisdom for church leaders struggling with the pressure to single-handedly revitalize their ministries.
Through honest storytelling, spiritual reflection, and practical wisdom gained from their pilgrimage journey, Andy and Kara offer parents and pastors a refreshing alternative to the exhausting cycle of trying to control outcomes. Instead of paving the way for your children or congregation, learn how to walk alongside them with confidence and trust in God’s transformative grace.
Stop trying to control everything. Start experiencing the freedom and connection that comes from truly letting go.

Anxious Generation Goes To Church
Original price was: $19.99.$13.97Current price is: $13.97.A new generation is going to church. But is the church ready?
Church consultant and researcher, Thom Rainer, believes God is at work in this generation, and he believes that this moment in time has created unique opportunities for churches to grow, thrive, and revive.
The culture is at inflection point. Nearly two-thirds of Gen Zers reported experiencing at least one mental health problem in the past two years. This statistic was lower for all older generations, including Millennials (51%), Gen Xers (29%) and Boomers (14%). Gen Z is the loneliest generation of Americans, lacking deep relationships and offline connection. Sixty-eight percent of Gen Z feel like nobody knows them well. That is one reason why this generation is called the anxious generation. Researchers have identified everything from social media to pandemic lockdowns as the prime culprit of why Gen Z is struggling with issues like mental illness more than other generations.
Thom Rainer views the church as God’s Plan A for helping this generation discover their true calling and thrive in a purposeful and genuine faith community. In this book, Thom explores research that reveals that the anxious generation is yearning for meaningful community and is waiting to be invited in.
The Anxious Generation Goes to Church

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!
This study guide includes:
*A guide to best practices for leading a group
*Individual access to eight streaming video sessions
*Personal study for deeper reflection between sessions
*Video notes and comprehensive structure for group discussion timeStreaming video access code included. Access code subject to expiration after 12/31/2030.

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.

More Than Enough Bible Study Book With Video Access (Student/Study Guide)
$21.99Have you ever felt a sense of lack? That you’re not strong enough? Not confident or courageous enough? That you simply don’t have what it takes to endure the pains and difficulties of life?? ?
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. She also provides context for the letter by discussing characters, setting, and themes of one of Paul’s most personal letters.
*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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
