Welcome To The Basement
$29.99
If Jesus is the chief cornerstone of everything God is building in the world–what floor do you want to be on? In Welcome to the Basement, podcaster Tim Ross shows readers how they can achieve true greatness in the upside-down kingdom Jesus is building.
When Jesus came to earth, his first-shall-be-last teachings turned the world upside-down. So it’s no surprise that when some of the earliest Jesus-followers started spreading the Good News, they were accused by the powers-that-be of having “upset the world” (Acts 17:6). They were labeled disrupters and troublemakers because they were preaching a new king, a new kingdom, and a new way of life.
Christians today are still called to upset the world. In Welcome to the Basement, Tim Ross gives both a rallying cry and a practical guide for becoming great in God’s kingdom. In a conflict-ridden world that values celebrity, visibility, and self-promotion, Jesus invites you to join him in “the basement,” where ordinary acts of intentional love, service, empathy, and kindness have extraordinary power to welcome people into Jesus’ kingdom of peace, joy, and life to the fullest. Readers of Welcome to the Basement will:
*discover that they are God’s masterpiece, called to a great identity and a great mission;
*learn to receive God’s unstoppable love and grace that is always reaching out to the lost and hurting;
*experience for themselves the good that God has for them–because only people whose lives have been turned upside-down by God can become true world upsetters; and
*gain step-by-step guidance for identifying the people, places, and pieces that they’ve been called to disturb, disrupt, and shower with God’s love.
Sometimes the humblest acts of goodness have the greatest power. And sometimes the lowest floor of the building is where the real party is. Jesus is the cornerstone of a new kind of kingdom–will you step into the good things God is doing in the world?

Mothers And Daughters Of The Bible Speak
$26.99Add to cartGod always keeps His promises, but not always in the way we expect….
“Have faith” is a phrase we hear all the time. But what does it actually look like to live it out? In The Mothers and Daughters of the Bible Speak, Shannon Bream examines the lives of biblical women to see how God’s plans can turn our worlds upside down. She tells the story of Jochebed, a mother who took enormous risks to protect her son, Moses, from Pharaoh. Could Jochebed have imagined that God’s actual design for her son involved flight into exile and danger? And yet this was all part of the master plan to deliver Israel from slavery. Another biblical mother, Rebekah, made terrible choices in an attempt to ensure her son’s place in history. And a daughter, Michal, struggled to keep her faithless father, Saul, from sin, while battling pride in herself.
Through these stories, Shannon explains the intimate connection between faith and family–and how God’s unexpected agenda can redefine the way we think about family. Not all of these mothers and daughters in the Bible were paragons of virtue. Like us, they were human beings who faltered and struggled to do their best. While some heard God’s voice, others chose their own paths. Through the lens of their imperfections, we can see how God used their stories to bring about His divine plans. He’s still doing the same work in our lives today.
The Mothers and Daughters of the Bible Speak shows that faith is more often a twisting road than a straight line. Yet, as the stories of biblical families attest, at the end of these journeys lies greater peace and joy than we could ever imagine.
