Overlooked : Finding Your Worth When You Feel All Alone
$16.99
You picked up this book because you didn’t read the word on the front cover, you felt it. Don’t worry, you’re not alone. I feel it too.
While most of us don’t want to admit it, we crave attention. Our social media-obsessed society is proof that people everywhere want to be seen. But this self-promoting system leaves many women feeling overlooked. In Overlooked, Whitney Akin helps you discover how the human need for attention and approval is God’s intentional design and encourages you to live seen by the God who loves you.
Overlooked guides you into a deeper understanding of El Roi, the God Who Sees, through the stories of Hagar, Moses, Paul, and Jesus by uncovering the transformative power of living each day in the attention of a holy God. Overlooked offers practical ways to implement a lifestyle of living seen characterized by confidence, meekness, obedience, and a gospel perspective. You’ll learn how to use these characteristics to interact with humility and strength in the real, and digital, world around you.
When you feel forgotten and unseen, Overlooked will help you . . .
– Discover why longing to be seen doesn’t make you a narcissist.
– Get real about the ways social media is hard on your heart.
– Tap into the true source of the attention and approval you long for.
You don’t have to live overlooked anymore.

Faith Still Moves Mountains
$28.99Add to cartFrom FOX News anchor and author Harris Faulkner comes a collection of powerful, true-life stories of resilience, healing, rescue, and protection.
We need reminders of God’s power now more than ever.
We often think about prayer as a wish list, with God as Santa Claus. The reality is that the power of prayer reminds us not only how small we are, but also how big God is. Prayer is hope put into action. And prayer works.
From the aftermath of the devastating earthquake in Haiti to the theater shooting in Aurora, Colorado, believers testify to how God inspired hope even when all seemed lost.
Two teenagers who were saved from treacherous seas by a vessel named Amen now give thanks for the rescue that changed their lives. A woman’s near-death experience with COVID-19 turned out to be the crisis freeing her from despair. Others speak to how prayer helped them navigate family trauma, overcome abuse, and cope with mental illness and depression. Historical accounts of miracles testify to God’s power throughout time, and Faulkner recounts the role of faith and prayer in her own life and the life of her father.
Along with these stories of God’s presence, the book includes an exclusive packet of newly written prayers. Created to reflect the current times, this prayer booklet will provide a road map for putting the lessons of these stories into action.
Faith Still Moves Mountains reminds us that God’s light always shines through the darkness. Through these testimonies, we learn prayer isn’t just a ritual, it’s a vital spiritual strategy in a world that wants us to give up the fight.

Life Lessons From Philippians
$12.99Add to cartAn unexpected bill. An upcoming doctor’s appointment. A tense family visit. The list could go on. Every day struggles of all sizes creep into our lives, leaving us stressed. Frustrated. Anxious. Just plain miserable. The believers in Philippi were struggling. They were trying to grow in faith and live for Christ. Trying to deal with conflict and threats of persecution. The apostle Paul was stuck in a Roman prison when he wrote to this young church. His letter could have focused on his own troubles. Instead he wrote about living a life full of joy, peace, and contentment. He reminds us of important biblical truths and points us to Jesus as the ultimate example. Paul’s letter encourages. It inspires. His confidence reminds us of God’s wisdom and control in the difficult moments of life. His excitement challenges us in this guide to joy.
