A large shift in financial resources is currently underway. Learn how to position yourself to make effective money moves that will have a lasting impact on America’s future.

Biblical Responsible Investing is for Christians who want to become more intentional, resourceful, and collaborative with their money, as well as how to use the financial markets to increase their return. Additionally, it explores various ways to become involved in the latest trends in the money market.

Originally designed as a manuscript for Wall Street executives to gain insight into Christian approaches to money decisions, Biblical Responsible Investing documents eleven principles that, when understood, will bring a fresh and essential perspective to the table. The revised manuscript is tailored to the needs of everyday people, providing practical direction on how the trends identified can be applicable to their personal financial decisions. Inside the shadowboxes found at the end of each chapter are the tools for Christians to confidently make their financial decisions with a focus on helping their own community and faith. 

Break the endless cycle of poor financial decisions and experience freedom from the anxiety, emptiness, and broken relationships of misplaced priorities.

When it comes to solving our financial problems, there’s no shortage of advice: spend less, save more, invest smarter, work harder. But these traditional tactics are not enough to address the spiritual aspects of financial wellness. 

Money & Spirit is not another promise of health and wealth or a guidebook full of strategies to reduce debt and achieve financial security. This is a journey of abiding in Christ’s Spirit, and surrendering one’s burdens, fears, and worries about money to Him. 

See how walking in obedience to God and surrendering full control can yield spiritual fruit in every area of life, including finances. Replace greed and heartache with love and kindness. Trade anxiety and strife for peace and joy. 

Stop relying on the world’s tactics and solutions. Start pursuing the Holy Spirit’s real, lasting transformation – from the inside out.

What doctrines of the Bible are so important to salvation that there can be no compromise on them?  

Conviction Without Compromise explores fifteen essential doctrines of the Bible that are crucial to salvation, as reflected in the patristic creeds. The authors also identify and explain a revelation essential and an interpretation essential, providing laser-like clarity as to why these doctrines are fundamental to the Christian Faith. 

Conviction Without Compromise carefully differentiates these essential doctrines from nonessential ones, which—while important—do not relate specifically to salvation. This work acknowledges the diversity of views among Christians on various doctrines, while remaining anchored by the principle: “In essentials, unity; in nonessentials, liberty; and in all things, charity.”

The Last Stand unveils a critical examination of the shift in public education, from fostering diverse social backgrounds and academic achievement to the indoctrination of far-left ideologies.
Long-time educator and advocate Michelle Davis delivers a call to action for parents, grandparents, education leaders, and teachers to reclaim control over their local schools and challenge the encroachment of secular influences. 

In this eye-opening exploration, concerned Christians are urged to engage with their communities, conduct independent research, and organize for change. Davis emphasizes the need for a litmus test to evaluate the alignment of churches and private schools with Biblically based values, as pop culture increasingly erodes them. As Christians become the counter-culture, it is imperative for parents to shed their blinders and critically analyze the foundational policies of local school districts, discerning the presence of indoctrination and grooming.

The Last Stand empowers traditionalists who are committed to safeguarding core Christian values, for the sake of our children and the future of this great nation.

Paul’s Letter to the Ephesians on F.I.R.E. is an inductive commentary that goes beyond mere explanation of the text, taking students of the Bible, pastors, and professors on a journey to discover its life changing wisdom for themselves.

Dr. Ken J. Burge, Sr.’s eleventh book in the F.I.R.E series helps readers develop the necessary skill set to become familiar with the Bible passage they are studying, interpret it accurately, relate it to its surrounding contexts, and employ it personally.

F.I.R.E. is the acronym used for the study. This mnemonic (or memory) device stands for familiarity, interpretation, relationship, and employment. The author uses all four of these steps each time the reader travels through a section of Scripture. The twenty-one chapters in Paul’s Letter to the Ephesians on F.I.R.E. explore the book of Ephesians beginning with the riches of the believer as espoused in the first major division (1:1–3:21) and explicates the second major division concerning how the saints are to practice their position (4:1–6:21).

Creative outlets can be a source of immense joy and satisfaction in our lives, but the question remains: is creativity something that is innate within us, or must it be learned?

God the Artist is a three-part, step-by-step guide to pottery making and how it relates to Christianity. It provides a clear understanding of the references to pottery in the Bible, where they originate from and why they are significant to every Christian’s life. It concisely interprets these pottery references in their original context, while explaining Biblical ceramic symbolism in a conversational way. Through insightful commentary on The Potter's House in Jeremiah 18, as well as other pottery references from the Old and New Testaments, God the Artist proves that all people are inherently creative because all human beings are made in the image of God, the ultimate creator. 

Each chapter is reinforced with a Creativity Challenge designed to encourage pottery pros, admirers, and anyone seeking to expand their creative capacity and strengthen their spiritual practice, to grow closer to God as they progress on their journey. With the help of this guide, individuals will gain a deeper understanding of the creativity given to them by God and how to use it to honor and glorify Him.

Bible Study Lab offers a refreshing approach to studying Scripture that engages people in a thrilling and impactful journey through the text’s original meaning and its modern applications. 

The Bible is a historically accurate piece of literature composed of many genres, with each directed to people who lived thousands of years ago. Thus, while the Bible has been written for modern Christians, it was not written to them. This notion suggests that we must change our perspective of study and consider the question - what did this passage mean to the original reader? The author refers to this question as The Basic Question of Bible study. 

Presented in a four-step process, Bible Study Lab supplies everyone with the capability to ponder and respond to The Basic Question and discover meaningful ways to apply its wisdom in their own life. 

Those who use this method to enrich their studies will watch the Bible transform from a book they’re supposed to read into the book they cannot put down.

If she didn’t confront her problem with consumption, she would surely be consumed by it.

Overwhelmed with anxiety, depression and hopelessness, Elizabeth was at a breaking point. She had a decision to make. Continue down the road of addiction to alcohol and cigarettes, eating disorders, shopping, and men, or figure out why she ached inside and kept running to toxic fetishes to satisfy her unquenchable appetite?  Elizabeth chose healing. She sought out multiple forms of therapy and tried out various religions.  But it wasn’t until she rekindled her faith in Jesus, instilled in her as a child, that she began to discover the genuine transformation she longed to experience.  

Who Told You You Were Naked? is Elizabeth’s uncensored story of who she was before her radical encounter with the Lord and who she is becoming as a follower of Him. Leaning into the unconditional love of Jesus changed the trajectory of her life and she longs to share this life-giving message so others may experience the power of a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, the Anointed One.

This raw and honest account of one woman’s transformational journey serves as a reminder to anyone caught in the tangles of mental illness, stubborn addiction, or with a downcast and dissatisfied outlook on life, that the light of hope shines even in the darkest circumstances.

Two-thirds of men and a third of women who attend church regularly say they struggle with pornography. Yet only 7% of churches offer specific resources and support to their congregations. 

Pastors and church leaders are well aware of the issue of pornography—thanks to decades of studies and Christian blog and magazine articles—however the local church is caught in a painful trap. When Christians are too ashamed to admit their struggle, church leaders aren’t able to directly support those who are actively struggling; when church attendees do find the courage to seek help, they often receive ineffective support from pastors and ministry leaders due to lack of proactive planning.

As a former journalist and current Director of Recovery Education for Covenant Eyes, Sam Black understands the stronghold pornography can have on an individual’s life. His writing in The Healing Church actively addresses these issues and provides clear guidance for ministry leaders as they support those who seek to live in freedom.

In The Healing Church, ministry leaders will discover how to create safe spaces and apply processes that restore those trapped in compulsive behaviors with pornography. Sam Black outlines the most successful examples from churches currently providing meaningful aid and includes stories of Christians who found healing from porn strongholds, as evidence of the type of healing that pastors and church leaders can provide. 

In researching this book, Sam Black conducted more than 70 interviews not only with pastors, counselors, and ministry leaders, but also with everyday people who recovered from a secret life of sin and are helping others who feel trapped by porn and unwanted sexual behaviors. The Healing Church affirms how those who experience true brokenness and surrender to discipleship and life change become strong servants to the Body of Christ and healthier as people overall. When the selfish become selfless, when the idolators learn to worship Christ, when the prideful become meek, they become more fulfilled as servants and filled with purpose.

Today, the local church has choices. It can largely ignore the problems of pornography because they are too unseemly. It can chastise, rebuke, and cast out, which sends more people into hiding. Or it can lead people through a grace-filled process to the foot of the Cross, where strongholds are crushed and where stronger servants arise.

God’s plan might not be plan “A” or even plan “B,” but it is a better plan for wholeness and wellness—a Plan BE. 

Denny Hanrahan spent many years as a Project Manager on the performance treadmill, striving to obtain results and claw his way ahead, only to find emptiness and depression after several major setbacks. At the end of his rope, he surrendered to the hand of God, and in doing so discovered a new plan of freedom and joy—not for how to do the next thing, but for how to be. 

In Plan BE, Denny Hanrahan explains that depending on one’s will, effort and determination may accomplish tasks in the short-term, but it may also prevent that person from discovering God’s direction for their life. According to Denny, God is more interested in an individual’s character than their performance, and He longs for his people to trust Him with their lives, instead of operating in our own strength. Plan BE guides Christ-followers to prioritize time with God and seek spiritual growth and understanding, in order to serve the world like Christ, with a spirit of freedom, peace and joy.

What if we’ve been looking at faith all wrong? What if the rise of spiritual consciousness is not a mere byproduct of cultural factors, but an echo resounding from eternity? 

Atheists like Richard Dawkins often mock prayer, equating it to calling upon a fairy in the sky. This misunderstanding of prayer’s purpose pervades western society, criticizing those that practice traditional faith as “old fashioned” or “out of touch.” In A Holy Haunting, Dr. Sam D. Kim interacts with this perception of faith and challenges readers to look at faith another way. 

The rise of modernism was both a blessing and curse for the church; while modernists articulated belief in a succinct and coherent fashion, they reduced the mystery and wonder of faith to nothing more than blind belief. According to Dr. Sam D. Kim, faith is not a set of beliefs, but a central aspect of human existence—defining who they are in the deepest ontological sense. 

Unlike many who discredit the power of the spiritual or immaterial, Dr. Kim sees human consciousness—the soul—as evidence of humanity being forged in the corridors of eternity, before the primordial universe and the Big Bang. A roadmap of discovery for skeptics and believers alike, A Holy Haunting befriends the doubter, challenges the churchgoer, and gives fresh perspective to the seeker.

People are key in every organization, Christian and commercial—yet so many organizations struggle with substantial turnover, inexperience, disunity and crippling brittleness among their people. For Christian leaders and their communities, these symptoms imply that their mission is being eroded, which could be devastating for an individual disciple’s pursuit of Christ. 

Career CEO Dennis Allen takes a look at how very old business practices are impacting people, bankrupting discipleship, and eroding Christ’s influence in the public square and markets. The discipling assignment Christ delivered to all believers requires faithful followers to surrender, follow, team up and replicate that same mission in other disciples, but organizations cannot make disciples. According to Allen, there are not enough pastors in the field or hours in the day for staff and leadership to take on the responsibility of people development in the broader community. 

The Disciple Dilemma explains the realities and limitations of the business environment today, making the case that Christian leaders must restructure their organizations to conform to Christ’s mission. Disciples, living in discipling relationships are Christ’s model to make effective disciples. Yet the traditions illustrated in The Disciple Dilemma explain how people have been derailed from following Christ for centuries, and likewise, derailed the development of making more disciples. Unless leaders understand the dilemma and act, the dissipation of disciples grinds on, producing passivated spectators and disillusioned Nones and Dones. 

There are currently over 16 million people in the United States providing care to a person with dementia. While caregiving can be very rewarding, many caregivers also experience a significant amount of stress, and they may struggle to find meaning in their role as a caregiver. 

Finding Sanctuary in the Midst of Alzheimer's is currently the only Bible study available that addresses the common challenges experienced by caregivers using both carefully selected scripture and personal stories from caregivers. Because each section is self-contained, Finding Sanctuary in the Midst of Alzheimer's is not just for churches; it can also be used for personal spiritual exploration or for groups such as senior centers, assisted living facilities, retirement communities, and support groups looking to integrate a spiritual component. With special sections that address the unique caregiving challenges for spouses, adult children and friends who want to learn how to better support caregivers, Finding Sanctuary in the Midst of Alzheimer's provides a much-needed resource for the growing population of dementia caregivers in our communities. 

God did not intend for it to be hard to know or experience faith, hope, and love—everything and anything can reveal God’s loving work in the world. So why does it feel that way?

She found in the Examen that the everyday stuff of her ordinary and messy life was all she needed to know and love God—it wasn't so difficult after all. All the Things includes 30 readings that show you the numerous ways the prayer of Examen can impact and transform your life—one 24-hour day at a time.

If you long for a deeper awareness of God's presence, a sense of companionship with Jesus, and a felt experience of the love of God—without wearing yourself out trying to find it—join Katie to learn more about this life-changing and life-giving prayer.

Written by a seasoned law enforcement professional, Bobby Kipper, Roll Call is a Christian Spiritual Guide for other law enforcement professionals.

Police work is a stressful and often dangerous job that puts a burden on the individual that most people will never understand. It also forces the police officer to see the world in a very real light and that light is not always positive. Bobby Kipper understands the challenges to staying spiritual in an often-harsh world. It is easy to lose focus on a loving and caring God in the midst of turmoil. It is easy to lose hope when a person sees so much hopelessness.

Roll Call is as an easy-to-carry book that an officer can read in these troubling times. During a break from all the chaos, the officer can read a quick chapter and refocus on a loving God and the peace of Jesus. Roll Call is a “no-nonsense” book that places the Christian Faith in the forefront of the officers’ lives. In these drastic times of today and with the problems facing law enforcement, there is no better time for the faith community to have a police “Roll Call.”

Emmanuel Ntibonera's quiet life in the Democratic Republic of the Congo was shattered when the Great War of Africa plunged his homeland into chaos. Only a boy, Emmanuel's childhood gave way to a daily fight for survival as a refugee. But when miracle-after-miracle pulled his family from the brink of death, Emmanuel devoted his life to God’s work, whatever that may be.

Fifteen years after escaping the Congo, Emmanuel decided to leave the safe borders of America and trace his footsteps back to the life he left behind. What he discovered in the Congo—disease, extreme poverty, deficient infrastructure, and, worst of all, a prevalent spirit of hopelessness—changed his life forever, setting him on an ambitious mission. As Emmanuel started collecting gently used footwear to bring hope to his people, his work united thousands across the country.

While focused on houses of worship (and schools and centers connected to them), the guide also provides important information on securing religious summer camps and its guidance can be used for any faith-based organization, senior center, day care, or school.

The book includes chapters on:

While Christian entrepreneurs start their days with prayer, the hustle and bustle of running their own businesses quickly takes focus away from their vital partnership with the almighty God. As a result, prayers for business are often broad, unfocused, and strictly tied to the entrepreneur’s vision of ideal results. The Prayer Powered Entrepreneur model walks entrepreneurs through 31 days of recognizing God as CEO through an inside-out system of praying for transformation:

Have you ever wondered, if we have the God of heaven and earth living inside us, why aren’t we experiencing more in life? Why aren’t we seeing more transformation in ourselves, or in others for that matter? What does it look like to have “Jesus in me” anyway, as an individual and also as a woman? These are the questions life coach and pastor Terri Sullivant was asking herself when God answered her in a profound, life-changing way.

The Divine Invitation provides a pathway to find what your heart deeply longs for in every area of life. It’s a metaphor showing the way for every woman to enter the dance of becoming fully alive. Learning this dance is about developing a relationship with Jesus, like two people dancing skillfully and gracefully. It’s about becoming so entwined with the thoughts, words, emotions, and behaviors of Jesus that the two of you are one. You find that this deep connection transcends all of life, enabling you to live joyfully and freely, come what may.

the precision of a scientist and the compassion of a healer. Yet along that journey, he has witnessed something that science cannot explain: miracles.

In A Life of Miracles: A Physician’s Encounters with the Divine, Dr. Kellis shares fourteen remarkable true stories of the extraordinary—moments when terminal illness reversed, when despair gave way to faith, and when light overcame darkness. Drawing from his years as a physician, researcher, and believer, he invites readers to step into encounters that blur the boundaries between medicine and mystery, science and spirit.

Even in a world driven by science, the miraculous is still alive.

Beyond Conformity presents a compelling guide for those in search of authenticity and alignment with an identity rooted in something greater than the self or the ever-shifting voices of culture.

Conformity to the status quo often leads to a life drained of purpose and meaning. Regardless of age or experience, the search for identity can create a persistent ache—an emptiness that achievement, possessions, or social validation fail to satisfy. 

The question “Who am I?” has become the defining inquiry of a generation. Those who seek fulfillment and genuine self-worth have discovered that activities, accolades, achievements, careers, and relationships cannot fill the cavity in their soul that yearns to be deeply valued, not by superficial clichés or pious platitudes, or temporary arrangements, but eternal and forever comfort that cannot fade or dull over time, or crack under pressure.

It takes a unique person to really consider a path that does not follow the ordinary, the routine, the safe and approved path that most people unwittingly follow. Beyond Conformity sets forth another path for one to consider. It is the path less traveled, but one that finds its identity solely and solidly in Christ.

The identity question still waits for an answer. Beyond Conformity offers the clarity to face it.

Behold the Man! From Palm Sunday to Resurrection Sundayfocuses on Christ’s decisive words and actions beginning on Palm Sunday and continuing through to His death, burial, and resurrection on Resurrection Sunday. In doing so, Christ leads the way taking upon Himself the righteous wrath of God as He was nailed to a cross, yet offering grace and merciful pardon from sin for all who would turn to Him in hope. And He accomplished God's plan of redemption in eight days!

So, what can Jesus’s behavior, His words, and His actions undertaken during those last crucial days in and around Jerusalem teach us about effective leadership? Dr. Gonzalez uses the principles of applied history and actionable insight to identify and apply 89 insights from Jesus’ leadership in action.

And for those who doubt whether anyone can ever measure up to Christ,Behold the Man!offers a powerful apologetic proving that the resources Jesus used to accomplish His work on that fateful week are the same resources every Christian leader now enjoys in Christ.

Dr. Rudy Gonzalez has reached back two thousand years to the greatest leader the world has ever known, the Lord Jesus Christ. Drawing from the last eight days of His earthly sojourn, he reveals some of the most powerful principles of leadership to be found in any modern book or popular podcast.—Dr. O. S. Hawkins, chancellor and senior professor of Pastoral Ministry and Evangelism at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary

The church is struggling to find relevance in today’s world. Society is changing, with currents swirling like a perfect storm—a clash of sacred and secular. Christians must once again take on the task of being a missional people.

The aim of GO is simple: to mobilize and unleash Christians—maybe one last time—as a missional people in their world, a gospel voice and a gospel presence, with the primary task of making disciples and sharing the only Good News that can save the world and humanity.

The future is not bleak, but bright with divine power available to Christians through the Holy Spirit, where they can once again become missional and live out their calling to be the transforming agents in the world. Not just across oceans, but across streets and cities.

At its heart, GO involves recovering essential characteristics not only relevant for engaging a postmodern world but also timeless in their fidelity to the heart of the gospel, which is the advancement of the coming kingdom. This inspirational resource will help Christians navigate these changes more effectively.

Ransomed tells the harrowing true story of a young man suffering under demonic oppression, his desperate yearslong search for the “one Truth,” and the miraculous deliverance and unexpected joy he discovers in the supernatural power of Christ.

For both Christians seeking a deeper understanding of the reality of the unseen realm and skeptical but honestly searching nonbelievers, Ransomed offers a reasoned defense for the story’s claims along with its deeper implications.

If the materialist age has succeeded in anything, it’s having convinced millions that there’s no God and no ultimate meaning to life. Ransomed directly challenges these beliefs through the testimony of someone who was the subject of the spiritual war that every human soul is engaged in and the victory that is found in the person of Christ.

More than just a personal testimony, Ransomed presents a concise yet robust apologetic for the biblical worldview, giving concrete and hope-filled answers to the person who suspects there’s more to life than what is commonly experienced.

Ransomed offers deep insight into the realm beyond the physical senses. 

Ever wished for a book that could help one navigate the tricky, challenging path to healthy relationships? Unknown is a practical road map to take relationships from mundane or lifeless to vibrant and fulfilling.

Today’s world offers more technological connection than any generation before. Yet loneliness, isolation, and disconnection have reached epidemic levels. Research confirms it again and again.

The ability to connect is everywhere, yet mental and emotional health continues to decline. Poor or lacking relational connection increases the risk of heart disease by 29%, stroke by 32%, dementia by 50%, and premature death by 60%.

In a world filled with rich coffee, stylish clothes, and gourmet meals, many still sit alone—with no one to truly share life with. Even within families, the sense of being unknown or unseen can quietly persist.

And that cuts against what makes life worth living. As Brené Brown put it, “Connection is why we’re here. We are hardwired to connect with others—it’s what gives purpose and meaning to our lives, and without it there is suffering.”

Want authentic relationships that stand the test of time? Unknown offers hope and real help. With insights born from personal experience and a path walked from disconnection to deep connection, Leadership coach and pastor Keith Spurgin provides the tools needed to build the kind of genuine relationships that every heart longs for.

Everyone has a story—but not everyone tells it like this.

In A Happy Ending, retired pastor Russ Fish invites people on a poetic and poignant journey through the twists, trials, and triumphs of a life lived under the mysterious providence of God. With wit, humility, and unflinching honesty, Russ reflects on everything from the traumas of youth to the quiet joys of old age, revealing not just what happened, but what it all means.

Told in a voice reminiscent of Rick Bragg, this deeply personal story blends memoir, meditation, and ministry. From heartbreak to healing, from faith tested to faith found again, A Happy Ending is a soulful tapestry of memory and meaning—comforting, challenging, and gloriously human.

If you’ve ever wondered where God was during your hardest seasons, or how to tell your own story with grace and grit, Russ Fish’s A Happy Ending offers both encouragement and example.

Understanding God and His attributes is vital to developing a relationship with Him. Attributes of God on F.I.R.E. delves into the true nature of God. Through fourteen chapters that each focus on one essential feature of God, Christians will come to know Him and, in turn, learn more about themselves and their worship.

To do this, the four F.I.R.E. principles are applied, each with their own unique and essential purpose:

• Familiarity—to study God from a personal and intimate perspective; 
• Interpretation—to determine the intended meaning of the Word of God with the help of the Holy Spirit; 
• Relationship—to examine the different aspects of the Word of God and how they fit together; and 
• Employment—to consider how we are called to respond to the Bible and employ it in our lives.

A battle is being fought—and most people don’t even know it’s happening.

In every corner of America today, familiar values are under siege. A hidden web of deception—woven by the rise of humanism, situational ethics, and secular ideologies—has infiltrated homes, communities, churches, and institutions. The result? A nation dangerously close to losing its moral foundation.

In Awaken, Dr. James J. Torkildson exposes the ideologies behind this cultural shift, revealing how deceptive narratives have quietly invaded society and reshaped what people believe about truth, morality, and faith. Drawing on his background as a psychologist, educator, and faith leader, Dr. T explains how these forces have fueled division, spiritual confusion, and the erosion of traditional values.

Awaken is not just a warning—it’s a guide. Through biblical insight, historical analysis, and practical strategies, Dr. T equips believers and open-minded readers to

• Uncover the lies behind today’s most dangerous ideologies
• Stand firm in biblical truth without fear
• Reclaim purpose, conviction, and spiritual clarity
• Engage in today’s culture war with wisdom and confidence

Awaken is an invitation to stand up, speak out, and defend the faith and freedoms that are slipping away.

Soar Higher Than Ever Before

Tell Them is a deeply personal Christian memoir that weaves together testimony, faith-centered storytelling, and life lessons. With unflinching honesty, Jerry McCormick invites others into a journey marked by divine encounters, spiritual growth, and the relentless grace of God. His story resonates with both believers and those still seeking purpose.

“It’s not the ministry that will kill you; it’s the expectations and stereotypes.”

Being a pastor’s wife is often an unseen, misunderstood, and isolating journey. The pressure to fit into predefined roles, the weight of silent expectations, and the fear of disappointing others can leave ministry wives feeling boxed in, struggling to recognize their own identity beyond the roles they are expected to play.

For women who feel trapped in the performance of ministry, this helpful resource offers the clarity and encouragement needed to shed the weight of others’ opinions and embrace the unique way God has called them to serve.

Women weren’t created to fit into a mold. They were made to thrive. Ready to burn the boxes and step into freedom?

It’a well-known fact: Life isn’t easy.

Most men have overcome obstacles in their work and family life over the years. And then they reach their “golden years.” But what’s golden about them? Their health may be failing. They may have lost loved ones. Sex isn’t the same. Money’s tight. What’s left? Death?

What does a man need to do to make these years truly golden? It’s the fourth quarter. Can they still be a winner and enjoy life?

In their later years, many men start thinking about heaven, even if God hasn’t figured much in their lives up to that point. It’s the perfect time for a spiritual awakening. In A Game Plan for the Fourth Quarter, Loren VanGalder explores the internal and external struggles of men in their later years and shares stories about old men of the Bible. He delves into what God has in store for elderly men right now.

There’s hope! There’s a future! Make the most of it!

David Hazelton, with the mind of a high-powered lawyer and the heart of a Sunday School teacher, dives into God’s Plan for Marriage. 

With clarity and conviction, David explores God’s divine blueprint for marriage at the dawn of creation. The Bible’s opening chapters explain that men and women are created equally in God’s image and are given responsibilities that can only be accomplished together. In the sanctity of marriage, the two are to become “one,” which involves a spiritual, emotional, and physical union.

But sin has a devasting effect on marriage. It introduces shame, fear, and guilt that can divide a couple. Instead of oneness, there is a competition for control that distorts God’s creation plan. These issues are beyond human capacity to resolve, requiring divine intervention and guidance.

In God’s Plan for Marriage, Hazelton presents a restorative vision for marriage. This vision is not a human invention but is built on the life and teaching of Christ. God’s Plan for Marriage offers insights into the original design for marriage and practical pathways for couples to reclaim their relationships as beautiful, harmonious partnerships intended by the Creator. 

Brokenness to Blessings is a powerful testament of redemption and restoration through the radical and healing love of Jesus Christ. 

Janet Lynn Garcia shares her personal journey to illustrate the transformative potential of a restorative relationship with God. 

This inspiring account shatters the misconception held by non-believers, new believers, and even seasoned believers that righteousness can be achieved through deeds alone. Instead, Garcia points to Romans 8:1, emphasizing that there is no condemnation for those in Christ Jesus, thereby underscoring the all-encompassing grace of salvation.

Drawing extensively from the teachings in Isaiah 61, she sheds light on the healing process of those who turn to Jesus. The audience are guided towards wholeness through mending relationships with God, self, loved ones, and their future. This transparent narrative offers a powerful roadmap to healing for individuals wrestling with personal brokenness. Garcia's message is unequivocal - redemption and restoration are universally accessible, inviting everyone to embark on this journey from brokenness to blessings.

• Employment: Consider how God can employ Christians to do His will through their new understanding of the text.

With new insights into ancient wisdom, Mere Spirituality will challenge people to embark on their own spiritual journey with practical and tangible results in mind.

Western society is in cognitive dissonance, paying lip service to scientific materialism while simultaneously searching for meaning in life, believing in spiritual realities, and experimenting with different religious practices. Being fed an anemic diet of the shallow and superficial, society is starving for depth and searching for purpose.

Mere Spirituality offers a concise commentary on the state of Western civilization, highlighting the successes and failures of its modern worldview and philosophy while reintroducing essential elements that formed its foundation. By diagnosing the current spirit of the age, it then prescribes a healthier alternative without sacrificing rationality, explaining the concept, reason, and practice of spiritual disciplines.

Bridging the gap between the left and right brain, Mere Spirituality speaks the language of reason to establish the deeper purpose and meaning of life and the logical arrival at spiritual conclusions. The result is a fascinating and insightful study of humanity, society, and reality, with a greater understanding of the “what” and “why” of spiritual disciplines that don’t just preach to the choir.

This inspirational guide will encourage people—whether they’re mystics or skeptics—to step out of their spiritual comfort zone.

As the world becomes increasingly fragmented and polarized, churches are dividing, and people are making themselves Number One at the exclusion of others, many are searching for a way to feel whole.

The Pioneer Church is a captivating guidebook that will fill Christians with wonder and admiration for God.

Traditional church is all we have ever known. But is the current model the original church Jesus always intended it to be? What if His church was a sent church? An extending church? One that flipped the culture and world upside down?

The Pioneer Church is the new model infused with the blueprint and structure it was always meant to have. Throughout this insightful resource, believers will be inspired and equipped to answer the call of God, move into new territory, and see the Kingdom of God arise.

Everyone takes this journey called life; however, someday that journey must come to an end.

Everyone will experience grief in their lifetime, and everyone will face death—whether it’s walking a loved one through the dying process or facing it oneself. No one is alone in this journey. The question is, how do people face grief and grow from it? With the right knowledge and understanding of grief, people can work through it. Death does not have to be scary. It has become institutionalized; now it’s time to bring death back to being a natural part of life that everyone can face without fear.

In Called to Grieve, Rev. Tom Evans answers many questions people have about the roller coaster of dying and death, what heaven is like, and how to move through the grieving process to a place where people can live a fulfilled and happy life, unafraid of death.

He brings to light the need to grieve, not just for a death but also for other things in life. Based on his thirty-five years of ministry, Rev. Evans helps people understand the physical and spiritual death of the body so they can grieve their loss and move on to have a fulfilled journey on earth and in the hereafter. 

Who will stand for Christ when darkness falls?

In Days of Darkness aims to settle unsettled Christian souls. For the first time, many believers are confronted by cultures hostile to their faith and values. Disoriented, these believers don’t know how to respond, let alone how to help younger generations.

While new to Western audiences, believers in Iran, China, and the Arab world are no strangers to persecution—their experiences offer rich context on which Western Christians can draw to understand their own circumstances. This light provided by the persecuted will bless and encourage those stumbling in a new and unfamiliar darkness.

Author Andy Coleman’s own observations and background also provide useful nuggets for Christians. His work responding to persecution and facilitating Christian missions in difficult regions helped him recognize important patterns. By splicing in threads of Christian history and current events, Coleman distills important concepts to help believers regain their bearings.

In Days of Darkness answers the most common questions Coleman receives when speaking with nervous Christians. Fear often lurks beneath the surface of these questions, and the answers cast out this fear with a little light, a dash of context, and a quick reminder of God’s love.

Ordinary Christians sense the storm brewing and darkness rolling in. This guidebook shores up their confidence and courage and allows them to make wise, biblical preparations. In Days of Darkness provides hope in a simple, easy-to-digest manner and, God willing, will help individual Christians, local fellowships, and the Global Church stand.

Loving Like Jesus is an inspirational guidebook for those who want to model their lives on the love, inclusivity, and tolerance of Jesus Christ.

In an increasingly divisive world, the societal push is to become more tolerant. Does the church need to adapt to the twenty-first century and become more progressive? What would Jesus do? 

Faced with modern challenges and questions about love, inclusivity, and tolerance, those who want to follow the example of Jesus need to carefully inspect his teaching and modeling for answers. In an examination of Jesus’s words and actions in the Gospel of John, Blaine Vorster contrasts Jesus’s example with the narrative of love and tolerance being promoted by Progressive Christianity. 

Loving Like Jesus offers a refreshing take on the tie-in between faith and social justice, perfect for those who search for truth and desire to honor the authentic Jesus.

Unison Parenting combines proven parenting techniques in a Christian context with a unique foundation of unison parenting strategies designed to identify and avoid pitfalls that disrupt parents from staying on the same page. 

The term “unison parenting” comes from music; singing in unison is when all voices sing the same note at the same time in order to emphasize the text. Similarly, to emphasize the message that parents want to send, they need to parent in unison.

Ending Emptiness is for those who have everything, yet still find themselves running on empty.

People continuously chase fleeting moments of joy, only to find the goalposts of happiness constantly shifting. They find themselves trapped in a cycle: waking, working, resting, and repeating. But what is the true purpose behind it all?

Tim Hatch contends that the root of this pervasive emptiness isn’t merely about acquiring more in pursuit of fulfillment.

The All-Encompassing Return of Christ brings fresh perspective to age-old debates surrounding Christ’s return.

The return of Christ is a topic of fervent debate within the Christian Church. Although orthodox Christians agree Christ will return, the specifics are confusing and laden with controversy. These divergences can be attributed to differences in biblical presuppositions and interpretative principles. 

One pivotal point of contention is the interpretation of the “millennium” in Revelation chapter 20. The All-Encompassing Return of Christ presents the amillennialism view as the proper understanding of that chapter, asserting that end times are a singular event.

While there are multiple events associated with Christ’s return, they all occur around the time of His second coming. This work provides an insightful introduction to amillennialism, addressing prevalent objections, particularly those arising from the dispensational perspective. 

Redacted examines the evolution of the ministry of deliverance, tracing its roots from the Gospels to the twentieth century. 

This in-depth exploration reveals the contours of Jesus’ and the apostles’ ministry, and how their practices influenced the fervent exorcisms of the pre-Nicene Church, igniting widespread revival. From there, Redacted follows the decline of exorcism from the fourth to the eleventh centuries, where it almost entirely disappears. When it is brought back during the High Middle Ages, the practice takes on a highly ritualized form that departs from the Apostolic model. The Reformation saw exorcism’s contentious duality between charismatic and ritual forms, before they were both entirely snuffed out with Protestantism. Yet, the twentieth century witnessed its resurgence, beginning at Azusa St. and growing within the Charismatic movement. Redacted identifies the historical connection between deliverance and revival and makes the case that deliverance ministry is essential for revival today.

From Genesis to Revelation, Choosing Intimacy goes on an in-depth exploration to discover the biblical foundation for mutual intimacy. 

People are lonely.  Too many suffer from fractured relationships and simultaneously long for deep connection with friends, family members, and co-workers. But the unrelenting persistence of addictions, abuse of authority, and struggle with depression, anxiety, and anger leave people feeling empty and powerless. 

Increasing numbers of Christians entering counseling offices wonder why a love for the Lord, obedience to God’s Word, and commitment to clearly defined roles do not result in satisfying intimate relationships. Where did it all go wrong? 

Choosing Intimacy offers a refreshing biblical perspective, over 40 years of professional counseling experience, personal insights, and practical skills for overcoming the power struggles that strangle intimacy.  

For 2000 years, Jesus has been both decried and leveraged. His story, set in a context so contrary yet strangely similar to today, serves as both a troubling and affirming testament to the quest for a meaningful life purpose. 

Many know of Jesus, but perhaps not his complete story. Regardless of belief, Jesus signifies trouble - in the context of his time and for those grappling with his teachings today. Using elements of drama, The Trouble with Jesus demonstrates why both believers and skeptics are unsettled and provoked by the one who claimed to be the Son of God. 

Jesus championed the marginalized, challenged wealth and power dynamics, and upended conventional wisdom through his parables. He defied the status quo and faced betrayal by corrupt religious and political authorities. His greatest trouble was being crucified and his subsequent resurrection, defeating death, ushering in a new era, and inspiring a new way of being.

In an edgy voice recognized by those wrestling with such existential questions, whether one has never been to church, or has been estranged from it, or once thought they knew him, The Trouble with Jesus confronts concepts of one of the most controversial figures whoever existed and the revolution he began.

One can’t help but do that when something or someone they have depended on for guidance, structure, community, comfort, identity, and meaning has been exposed to the light, shaken to the core, and found to be unreliable and untrustworthy. 

What is Church? is for believers in Jesus, as well as those deconstructing their faith, seekers, skeptics, and opponents, to inform and help resolve the innate longing for answers, truth, meaning, and belonging by plumbing the depths of divinely revealed knowledge.

Drawing on scripture, history, personal relationships, experience, and a deep love for Jesus and the Church, Dub Karriker shares valuable insights that provide a different perspective on the Church and its role in the past, present, and future. Rather than walking a well-worn path of two thousand years of best intentions and church misdeeds, Karriker reveals the Church as intended by its founders, Jesus and His Apostles. 

No matter what your relationship is with the Christian community, What is Church? is a fascinating, soul-stirring journey of inquiry and answers.

What does it truly mean to be made in the image of God?

The tension in the world is palpable! Even now, society is reeling from the effects of expansive discouragement, pervasive unfulfillment, mounting confusion, and even a building rage. Something has clearly gone wrong, but what is it?

Imagine possessing the insight necessary to answer this desperate question, to look around and understand why people do what they do, desire the things they desire, say the things they say, and behave the way they behave. Or perhaps even more exciting – imagine having the discernment to look within yourself and truly understand why you feel the way you feel; why you are responding to a given situation the way you are. Knowledge has never been more powerful. 

From its glorious beginnings in the Garden of Eden, to its tragic fall and turbulent wanderings, The Magnetic Heart of God tells the electrifying true story of the human soul, whisking its readers away on an adventure of unprecedented self-discovery.

How far would you go to experience an exceptional spiritual life?

Big Words are God’s voice, rooted in an intimate relationship with him—the Spirit of Christ speaking to you, guiding and shaping your life. They usually come at life’s crossroads, those moments that define your future. These words are the roadmap to an adventure that matters for eternity. 

Kevin Springer was only 18 years old, reeling from disappointment and humiliation, when he discovered God was a dream wrecker. At age 15 he believed in God and thought he was his friend, but now God was silent when Kevin needed him most.

Kevin carefully planned and worked hard for his future—his college choice, his career, even where he’d live. He did everything required for success. That’s when God monkey-wrenched his life. His plans evaporated, leaving him in a vacuum of despair, isolation, and self-pity. Kevin decided to run. He packed his car and headed as far away from God as he could. 

Then, when things couldn’t get any worse, God spoke; softly, deeply, gently. “If you enter the freeway, your life will never be the same. You will change the direction of your life, and it will not be for the better.” Kevin listened to the Big Word and discovered God’s plans were far better than anything he could ever imagine.

Kevin took a U-turn back into God’s will and onto A Road of Unimagined Adventure. This is his story.

A young boy and girl, born worlds apart, chased the promise of the good life—the American Dream—only for the lives they carefully built to fall apart in the wake of divorce. Almost Home shares the truth of God’s promises, his power to rebuild lives and transform hearts. 

Almost Home shares how two broken families joined together in holy matrimony and God’s healing. David Steen takes readers through one family’s journey of remarriage, building a home, growing a family, selling a house and pursuing life on a farm, all while pursuing the believers’ true home—with Christ. 

The family in Almost Home sought to build their lives anew on a firm foundation. Their desire for God and faith in Him, along with their raw determination and love for one another carried them through decades of joyous victories as well as trials and tribulations. The life of their dreams, along with an amazing place to call home, was built in amazement before their very eyes, and their growing family drew near to God continually, desiring to hear His voice and to obediently follow the Lord with reckless abandon.

Yet even then, something was missing. In all of their pursuits, the destination of home they sought after in this life eventually became somewhat of a mystery, something to cling to less and less as time passed on. What they longed for was fleeting as they came to recognize that they were not citizens of this world after all, but sojourners on a journey to another world, a heavenly realm where the struggles of this life are no more.

Join this family on their miraculous journey to find hope for the future as they pursue their heavenly home, encouraging readers to loosen their grip on the things of this world.

As the third book in Emily Bernath’s Broken Lenses series, Broken Lenses Volume 3: Experiencing God’s Freedom in a World of Sin steps back to answer the questions, “Who is God? Do I want to get to know God? What do I get out of it?”

Anyone can walk into a church and hear messages about the goodness and holiness of God, but what does that really mean? And how does God’s goodness impact everyday people? Broken Lenses Volume 3 aims to answer these questions head-on, with each chapter looking at a different characteristic of God’s nature, how God emulates that characteristic, and how having a God who holds those characteristics impacts every human being. 

It’s one thing to know that God is holy, sovereign, and merciful—it’s another to know how God chooses to exercise that holy, sovereign, and merciful nature. Everyone wants freedom from the shame and guilt of sin, but only God is qualified to provide that freedom. While many paint their own picture of God’s identity and intention, Broken Lenses Volume 3 aims to dispel conflicting information about the heart of God and teach readers about God’s true nature—and the true freedom available to all who seek a relationship with Him. 

It’s My Time is a story of God using life’s circumstances and events to shape his people. 

Josh Phillips grew up in a Christian home as the youngest of seven, with dreams of following in his dad’s footsteps, playing professional football. His competitive drive and work ethic paved the way for some championship moments; however, each step toward his goal of professional football brought additional obstacles. Josh wrestled with God’s plans for his life and questioned his purpose amidst each trial. But through it all, God was faithful—and continues to be in every moment.

It’s My Time is designed for readers to journey into spiritual transformation. Josh Phillips encourages believers to delve into applicable scripture and ponder how God’s hand is at work in their own lives. A unique feature at the end of each chapter, the Red Zone Check, encourages personal reflection on God’s role as author of each person’s story.

The unique passion found in The Joy Bringer Challenge presents the WHAT, the WHY and the HOW behind the joy found in Jesus. 

What if life was marked by joy? That's the power of the Gospel; it offers good news that changes lives. But in order to receive the Gospel, a person must believe that joy is available and ready for them, in the same way Jesus is available and desires to connect. 

It was declared at the birth of Jesus that he would bring great joy to all people. The good news of the Gospel isn’t just about eternity in heaven—it’s power, freedom, love, and joy for anyone, at any time. The Joy Bringer Challenge is a journey of understanding the full gift of salvation, healing from the wounds that keep individuals in bondage, and welcoming the filling of the Holy Spirit, in order to live and lead others with true joy.

The Joy Bringer Challenge is not just for those who have had great trauma but anyone looking for more joy and purpose in their lives. It intentionally lays out a road map of discovery and healing for the reader to know where they are going and what lies ahead with the goal to live like the gospel is good news. 

500-Year Journey examines historical and scriptural evidence to identify the date Christ was born, which wasn’t December 25^th!

For more than two-thousand years, Christians and skeptics have sought the truth of Jesus’ birth—with many looking in the wrong places. One group studied the stars and astrology for answers, to determine what the Magi might have seen, but that only created more questions. Others looked to mathematical calculations and tradition, but mistaken variables led them astray. Both of these approaches have contributed to the modern version of Christmas, but they have also obscured God’s truth.

Corey Piper’s 500-Year Journey makes the case that God revealed exactly when the Messiah would be born. The answer is in his Law, foreshadowed with biblical and historical events and confirmed by what the Magi saw. This resource will take readers from the exile in Babylon to the manger in Bethlehem, to a stunning encounter with God’s elaborate plan.

Pasquale R. Mingarelli celebrates God as Creator through photography in his devotional Drawing Near. 

Drawing Near features the work of professional photographer Pasquale R. Mingarelli, who pairs photographs of the natural world with God’s Word. This gorgeous devotional offers readers a delightful way to escape the distractions of this world and intentionally meet with God in a secluded place, just as Jesus did (Mark 1:35). 

With Drawing Near, believers will dive deep into the context of overlooked Bible verses about nature in order to better understand and know the heart of God. It features Bible passages that address God’s power, His wisdom, His glory, His presence and His love. Mingarelli’s devotional shows readers how to meditate on and apply these verses throughout the “busy-ness” of everyday life.

The beauty of God’s creation is meant to be a testament to who He is and how He desires connection with His people. Drawing Near allows those who love to get out in nature to enjoy the world’s natural beauty anywhere—from the office breakroom to a quiet room at home, to a park bench beneath an outstretched tree. 

In a world that demands attention and often pulls people away from God, Drawing Near offers a place of peace and a time with God.

Why are some leaders more effective than others? Effective leaders follow The Leadership Strategy of Jesus personally and in the organizations they lead. 

In the gospels, Jesus demonstrates the key elements necessary to advance His kingdom—in life, church, and work. The Leadership Strategy of Jesus shows leaders how to live out these principles and positively impact the world. 

As a seasoned ministry leader, Dr. Rich Halcombe’s, The Leadership Strategy of Jesus, is designed to help leaders discover their personal purpose in order to better serve their communities. Halcombe encourages leaders to establish a clean plan for future growth and invest time and energy into those plans, while remaining open to continuous improvement and adjustment.  

The Leadership Strategy of Jesus will increase any leader’s effectiveness by identifying the strategies of Jesus and applying them to everyday experiences. 

God has a plan; the challenge comes in knowing what comes Next. 

Pastor Mike Tedder challenges readers to find their Next. His approach helps believers and unbelievers alike discover the where and when of God’s plan. 

Next explains the biggest missteps in anyone’s spiritual journey—missing the right path or traveling at the wrong pace. According to Pastor Mike, it’s easy to take the wrong path, get ahead of God, or to trail behind, despite how essential it is for humanity to partner with God on their journey. His writing encourages readers to find and fulfill the Next God has for them. 

Two young women encounter God in pivotal, historical moments—one in the beginning, at the time of the Great Flood, and another at the end, during the Great Tribulation—and draw closer to Him as they watch prophecy unfold.

Fire & Flood by Dawn Morris is a fictional, historical, and futuristic story that challenges readers to discuss and research the many biblical topics it addresses—from interpreting biblical eschatology and prophecy and seeking peace in troubled times to finding salvation from sin and moving beyond the betrayal of false teachers, to investing in community outreach and trusting God’s sovereignty and purpose. 

Dawn Morris and Lynnette Field compiled Fire & Flood Study Guide: Digging for Truth in an Age of Deception to facilitate discussion within prayer groups and Bible studies for today’s seekers or believers. A perfect companion to Morris’ novel, this guide shows readers how to sort fact from fiction, how to find hope in God’s promises, and how to apply biblical principles to everyday life.

Making God Part of Your Family Volume 3 strives to bring God’s plan to life for individuals and their families as He chose to reveal these truths through the stories in the Old Testament.

Most would agree that the Old Testament stories can be difficult to relate to and understand. Veteran Bible teacher Michael Grady retells the Old Testament stories in concise, thought-provoking doses that are easy to understand and intended to stimulate family discussions. He demonstrates that the Old Testament stories are much more than just a history of the Israelites (God’s chosen family); they are parables detailing God’s guide to living and his eternal plan for redemption and salvation for all who choose to believe.  

The stories in Making God Part of Your Family Volume 3 provide a unique combination—they are both simple enough for children to understand and deep enough for parents to grow in the knowledge and wisdom of God’s Word. This vibrant, yet carefully researched volume brings families closer together and helps them clearly establish their identity as children of God and brothers and sisters of Jesus. 

Are you feeling alone in your struggle of addiction or trauma—or a loved one’s struggle?

There is hope in the grit!

In Downstairs Church: Finding Faith in the Grit of Addiction and Trauma Recovery, Caroline Beidler, MSW explores the problem of addiction and trauma for women today and then highlights the freedom—and hope—that can be found in the downstairs church or recovery community. Beidler also highlights the radical vulnerability required of addiction and mental health recovery, something that all people can benefit from. When we share our stories of struggle in real ways, authentic transformation can happen.

Downstairs Church:

• Encourages readers through personal testimony that they are not alone
• in their experience
• Teaches from a first-hand account about the realities of addiction and how trauma can impact a female family or church member
• Accesses current trends and statistics woven in with story-telling, recovery principles, and scripture to learn more and combat the stigma of addiction and trauma for their loved ones
• Addresses the stigma of addiction and trauma, promoting more love and tolerance by affected family and faith communities.
• Provides a call to action to get involved in addiction recovery efforts or access recovery support services.

With compassion because of her own personal experience of addiction and sexual violence, as well as insight because of her professional expertise, Beidler blends relevant statistics and practical information with real-life testimonies of redemption.

Beidler also provides a practical list of ways that faith communities can become more trauma-informed spaces for those who may be seeking love and acceptance inside church buildings. Ultimately, Downstairs Church offers a portrait of radical grace and a God whose love persists even in church basements.

A woman's heart is unique in all of creation.

Defining the heart as the inner fountain of passion, thought, and purpose, Laura Knutson traces the value and challenges of the heart all the way back to the Garden of Eden. 

The Wholehearted Woman brings a compassionate and faith-filled view of identity from the perspective of a woman's heart. A compelling picture is painted of how unique and precious each woman's heart is. 

Beginning with Eve, Laura takes an honest look at the brokenness of women's hearts resulting from their own choices as well as the difficulties of life and the abuse of others. And then she offers rock solid hope and vision for healing and restoration to God's original design. Sharing her own journey towards wholeheartedness and supporting her reflections with a wealth of scriptural references, The Wholehearted Woman offers us a rich handbook for understanding, embracing, and caring for our hearts.

Death is a part of life. Even though it is a certainty, most of us are unequipped and ill-prepared for it.

When we consider the timeline of life; it is clear that life unfolds in a series of seasons. Each of those seasons has a beginning, middle, and end. It’s easy to celebrate birth and the start of a new life because with birth comes so much optimism, hope and joy! The majority of life takes place in the seasons of growing up and becoming an adult, becoming a parent and perhaps a grandparent; this part of life is typically busy and filled with activities and lots of distractions. The most difficult part comes at the end of life’s journey. 

Whether the end comes suddenly or over a period of time, it comes with a sense of loss and emptinesss when we lose someone we love. According to the Faith Hospice website, a three-year study was conducted by Amerispeak and WebMD prior to COVID-19 in which they found that 57% of Americans are grieving in some way—the loss of a loved one, patients, human connection—at any given time. That means, if you’re walking down the street or shopping at the store, every other person you see is dealing with grief. 

In Grieving Well, storyteller Terri DeBoer has teamed up with Janet Jaymin. It is from Janet’s personal journey as a grief counselor helping thousands of individuals and families that allows her to validate that what was will never be the same. These thoughts and feelings can be a complete sense of doom and gloom for the individual but through Grieving Well, they can realize that while grief cannot be cured, peace can be found. 

A Place Called Braverly is a charge for the women of God to live brave, dream bravely, and influence bravery because the Father created them to be women of courage. 

Too often, women allow shame, lies, and doubts to hold them captive to fear, forgetting that the Father’s design—for women to live with bold purpose and daring dreams. Every day, the café and sewing center Braverly seeks to empower and train women from oppressed people groups on the Thailand/Myanmar border, but its heartbeat extends well beyond Mae Sot. Inspired by the work being done within Braverly’s walls, A Place Called Braverly is filled with the vulnerable stories of two missionaries: Kate Berkey and Kristy Mikel. 

A Place Called Braverly journeys through Scripture as well as Kate Berkey and Kristy Mikel’s personal stories to discover what it looks like to live bravely—saying yes in the everyday, dreaming beyond limits, and influencing and encouraging bravery in others as followers of Jesus. Within the pages of A Place Called Braverly, readers will interact with creative writing pieces, artwork created by women from Braverly, and unique ways of connecting with the Father. In the end, Berkey and Mikel hope to demonstrate how this heartbeat is more than just the mission of a ministry in Thailand. It is the battle cry for all women.

With the title Faith, Family and Fighter Jets splashed above a combat-worn fighter jet, soaring high above the mountains of Afghanistan, Colonel Todd “Riddler” Riddle’s story is anything but typical. His writing conveys lessons of faith and leadership forged from a life of military service in harm’s way; a missional life calling where the stakes of success and failure are at the highest possible levels.  

Colonel Todd “Riddler” Riddle’s first person recollections of pulling the trigger on a GAU-8 Avenger 30mm canon on an A-10, firing Maverick missiles, using Night Vision Goggles, or laughably failing while coaching children’s sports draw readers toward discovering an authentic and practical faith—one that opens the hearts of believers and those seeking to invite the greater presence of Christ across the key dimensions of their lives. Each chapter of Faith, Family and Fighter Jets concludes with key Thunderbolt takeaways for consideration and life application.

Appealing to those who have found the Christian faith to be disappointingly safe, Faith, Family and Fighter Jets departs from the sterile, predictable formulas of workplace and life success to that of a compelling, obtainable and joyful calling in which biblical truth meets readers where they are. Colonel Todd “Riddler” Riddle extends the application of each lesson with current and credible organizational research—as well as Biblical examples—to provide a strong academic, religious, and theoretical foundation for readers. 

In June of 2012, vibrant 16-year-old Leanna Mae Knopik was hospitalized with a rare and sudden cardiac infection. In this unflinching account of her final month of life and the searing sorrow that followed, a grieving mother deepens her relationship with her deceased daughter and—through the grace of God—finds a path to true joy.

Beyond the Rainbow describes in candid detail the arduous task of piecing a family back together in the wake of tragedy, and the transformative spiritual awakening that emerges. Not just for the bereaved, all readers will benefit from the author’s journey through searing pain and her ultimate discovery of God’s grace. This memoir offers a model for how family members can move through grief. It presents an honest and complete examination of the coping skills that worked for the author and her family—and the ones that did not. 

The goal of Beyond the Rainbow is twofold: 1) to shorten the path to healing by offering a roadmap through the early stages of grief, and 2) to broaden the reader’s perspective on loss; with God’s grace, they can and will live a joyful life.

Dear Sister is a raw and honest love story riddled with the brokenness of foster care, impossible love, immeasurable forgiveness, and surprising heart transformation—an incredible spiritual journey readers will come to realize relates to all of God’s adopted children.  

Sharing her experiences with loss, pain, and uncertain identity, Cadey Fenn’s writing shares a message of rebirth, joy, mercy, and faith. Dear Sister tells deeply personal, relatable stories that highlight how little humanity can know of God’s plan, while reinforcing the benefit of trusting His good direction. 

One might expect Dear Sister to be a story about a foster child or orphaned children, but it’s more than that. Cadey Fenn is excited to remind readers that they are called to do impossible things—things that often seem reserved for those we consider heroes or “superhuman.” Whether someone is planning to become a foster parent or joining the church choir, Dear Sister breaks the belief that an individual’s purpose is inconsequential or limited, encouraging believers to discover and embrace God’s plan for their life. 

The Gospel of Mental Health is a masterful guide of mental health strategies that, when paired with personal and scriptural testimonies, brings believers to a place of true peace and hope. 

Stacey McDonald’s The Gospel of Mental Health challenges Christians to take an honest look at their mental health. Her approach is designed to meet readers where they are, by relating to their struggles, bringing hope, and supporting their healing. From the mental battles of Jacob, King David, and Samson to the realities Christians face today, The Gospel of Mental Health demonstrates biblical strategies for coping and finding peace in the hills and valleys of one’s mental health journey. 

Each chapter contains “journal jewels” and guided prayers so that readers can dig deeper, set attainable goals, and practice the skills they’ve learned. While practicing mental health strategies to incorporate into daily life, unearthing and working through intimate issues and exploring the boundless love of God through it all, the reader's mental and spiritual health will be positively impacted. Within each page, believers will learn how to move beyond the shame of their mental health battles by walking toward a loving and compassionate God—one who cares about the mind, heart, and soul of his creation.
