Daily Wisdom For Girls
Curious Art : Freedom From Manipulation And Control
$19.99
Since Eden, we have all fallen into-or fallen prey to-the abuse of power. It is not only the world but often, more subtly, the Church itself that encourages us to model ourselves after exploitative opportunists like King Saul. We are all too often dismissive of broken, humble shepherds like David.
In reality, both kings experienced the bondage of periergos, a biblical term describing the sorcery-literally, the curious art-of manipulation. Only one king broke free, through embracing vulnerability, surrender, and sacrificial love. David knew this as the heart of God. Saul despised it as the weakness of the flesh. Jesus preached it as enemy-love. We Christ-followers are called to cherish such values as the way of the cross, yet all too often the practice of manipulation has instead become normative in our churches.
In journeying with these two biblical kings-and the many brave, vulnerable men and women whose stories are contained in this book-we will learn how to resist and find healing from the abuse of authority. And as we ourselves identify and put aside the tools of the trade that support this idolatrous craft, we will go on to become men and women after God’s own heart, leaders who can change the world.

God Of All Things
$19.99Abstract theology is overrated. In the contemporary West, we’re desperately in need of rediscovering God through ordinary, physical things we see in the world around us.
Jesus did it all the time. He mentioned a lily, sparrow, sheep, coin, fish, harvest, banquet, lamp, stone, seed, and vineyard to teach about the kingdom of God. In the Old Testament, too, God repeatedly describes himself and his saving work in relation to physical things such as a rock, horn, eagle, shelter, cedar, lion, shield, wave, ox, and so on. “Ask the beasts, and they will teach you; the birds of the heavens, and they will tell you; or the bushes of the earth, and they will teach you” (Job 12:7-8).
In God of All Things, pastor and author Andrew Wilson explores glimpses of the sacred in created things, finding in them illustrations of the character and gospel of God. As humans, we encounter glory through stars and awe through storms. We learn about humanity through dust and about Jesus’s death on our behalf through trees and bread and wine. Ultimately, we meet God in his creation. It is a gallery full of sketches, paintings, and portraits revealing our Maker and Savior.
Wilson presents a variety of created marvels–from figs and galaxies to viruses, pigs, and honey–that reveal the gospel in everyday life and fuel worship and joy in God.

Mere Christianity
$17.99Arguably the 20th century’s most influential Christian writer, C.S. Lewis sought to explain and defend the beliefs that nearly all Christians at all times hold in common. His simple yet deeply profound classic, originally delivered as a series of radio broadcasts, is a book to be thoroughly digested by believers and generously shared with skeptics. Paperback with French f laps and deckled page edges.
