Beautiful People Dont Just Happen
$18.99Add to cartFind the freedom from regret, hurt, and fear that God wants for you, so you can embrace a life of relief, joy, and hope in him.
We all carry regret, hurt, and fear. These are burdens that weigh us down and make us feel trapped.
Scott Sauls understands. In twenty-five years of pastoral ministry, he’s walked with countless individuals through weary seasons and circumstances. He’s also battled his own anxiety and depression. He knows what it’s like to be worn out and burdened by life.
But it doesn’t have to be this way. Freedom, healing, and joy are available to us even in the midst of suffering, even when circumstances don’t change. Beautiful People Don’t Just Happen reveals how you can find a new way of living that helps you:
*Give honest voice to your emotions through the practice of lament
*Confront your debilitating thoughts with the divine counter-voice of the God who loves you
*Find meaning, purpose, and “the best you” as you journey through grief and sorrow
*Discover God’s heart for sinners and sufferers as you grow closer to him
*Learn and live out what the Bible calls the “secret of contentment” in any circumstance
Don’t settle for the way things are. Dare to hope for a better future. Dare to embrace the healing and freedom God wants for you–the freedom he freely offers to all who receive it.

Gentle Answer : Our ‘Secret Weapon’ In An Age Of Us Against Them
$19.99Add to cartA remarkable vision for how Christians can live with countercultural gentleness in a perpetually angry, attacking, outraged time.
In a defensive and divided era, how can followers of Jesus reveal a better way of living, one that loves others as God loves us? How can Christians be the kind of people who are known, as Proverbs puts it, to “turn away wrath?” Scott Saul’s compelling new book shows Christians how to become people of “a gentle answer” in a politically, relationally, and culturally fractured world by helping readers:
*grow in affection for Christ, who answers our hostility with gentleness;
*nurture a renewed, softened heart in light of Christ’s gentleness toward us;
*and catch a vision to forsake us-against-them mentalities, put down our swords, and “infect” a hostile world with gentleness.For those who long for a more civil way of being, A Gentle Answer reveals why answering hostility with gentleness is essential, how we can nurture our hearts to do so, and what a gentle answer looks like, both in the church and in the world.

Irresistible Faith : Becoming The Kind Of Christian The World Cant Resist
$16.99Add to cartFrom an influential pastor and author–whose writing Ann Voskamp calls “sharp, informed, [and] culturally savvy”–comes a revelatory blueprint for an utterly transformative and enticing Christianity.
Jesus said his followers would be a light to the world and a city on a hill. He envisioned a wildly diverse yet compellingly unified multitude of strangers that would penetrate the world with love. They would be a counter-culture, in a way that was for the culture not against it. They would lead the world in acts of love and justice and be the most life-giving bosses, employees, neighbors, and friends. They would also be the best enemies, returning insults with kindness and persecution with prayers. They would stay true to their biblical convictions and–not in spite of those convictions but because of them–would love, listen to, and serve those who don’t share their convictions. Over time their movement–Jesus’ movement–would become irresistible to people from every nation, tribe, and tongue.
This is not how many, perhaps most, today see Christianity. And justifiably so, given that many bearing the name Christian use the Bible to justify behavior that Jesus would never endorse and would always condemn, that would in fact make Jesus furious. But Jesus’s vision for the church is possible, and Irresistible Faith provides a blueprint for Christians to pursue it as redeemed individuals, as a renewed community, and as those working for a restored world. This is a way of being that gives a tired, cynical world a reason to pause and consider Christianity . . . and to start wishing it was true.

Jesus Outside The Lines (Revised)
$17.99Add to cartWhether the issue of the day on Twitter, Facebook, or cable news is our sexuality, political divides, or the perceived conflict between faith and science, today’s media pushes each one of us into a frustrating clash between two opposing sides. Polarizing, us-against-them discussions divide us and distract us from thinking clearly and communicating lovingly with others. Scott Sauls, like many of us, is weary of the bickering and is seeking a way of truth and beauty through the conflicts. Jesus outside the Lines presents Jesus as this way. Scott shows us how the words and actions of Jesus reveal a response that does not perpetuate the destructive fray. Jesus offers us a way forward-away from harshness, caricatures, and stereotypes. In Jesus outside the Lines, you will experience a fresh perspective of Jesus, who will not (and should not) fit into the sides.
