Think Ahead : 7 Decisions You Can Make Today For The God-Honoring Life You
$29.99Why do we keep making choices we later regret–sometimes even the same bad choices over and over? Drawing on Scripture, story, and cutting-edge research into human behavior, pastor Craig Groeschel reveals the key to making the choices we want to make and experiencing the joy and freedom God has for us.
We all want to make great decisions. So what happens between our good intentions and the choices we actually make in the moment? If only we could make decisions ahead of time rather than when we’re under stress, overwhelmed, or swayed by fear or emotion. In Think Ahead, we learn how to do just that.
Pastor Craig Groeschel knows from personal experience and as a counselor to others what being trapped in a cycle of poor decision-making is like. In Think Ahead, he shares what he has discovered about the power of “pre-deciding.”
With thought-provoking exercises and questions for reflection, this interactive book teaches us that the quality of our decisions determines the quality of our lives. Think Ahead will help you:
*Understand the science behind your decision-making habits
*Overcome decision fatigue and debilitating fears
*Diminish the role of emotions in decision-making
*See how your small choices shape the kind of person you become
*Define and put into action the seven life-defining pre-decisions you can make today
*Becoming the person you want to be starts before you even make a decision. In Think
Ahead, you’ll discover the power of making decisions today to help you live the life you want to have tomorrow.Add to cart2 in stock

Gift Of Thorns
$26.99Today’s follower of Jesus exists at a moment in history when our desires, longings, and wants are being weaponized against us by cultural, spiritual, and relational forces. “Follow your heart” and “You do you” has become our moment’s mantras. The result, for too many, is feeling torn asunder by the raging desires within. What do we do with our desire? What about our unwanted desires? And how do we cultivate desires which bring life and freedom and lead to Christ? The Gift of Thorns, by A. J. Swoboda, addresses these questions and more.
The path forward is anything but easy. It is assumed by too many in the Christian community that desire is in and of itself bad or dangerous and must be crucified for simply existing. Desire is demonic for some. But, for many others–particularly in the secular West–desire must be followed through and through. This side deifies desire. But these two options sidestep the joy in the great challenge of finding God in our desire. There exists an ancient and sacred way that is forged around the life, wisdom, and power of Jesus and his Spirit. In short, what makes a follower of Christ is not whether or not we have desires. Rather, it is what we do with the desires we have.
Near the end of the story of humanity’s rebellion, the theme of “thorns” is introduced. As readers will discover, the thematic repetition of “thorns” pops up over and over throughout the Bible. What are the thorns for? They will be, in the words of God, “for you” (Gen. 3:18). The premise of this book is that a world where we do not get all that we want is, well, the greatest gift ever.

Life In The Negative World
$26.99Learning how to live in today’s new social and cultural environment will require examination, trial and error, and adaptation over time. But there are ways to live with integrity and follow Christ today, even in a negative world.
From a peak in church attendance in the mid-20th century, Christianity has been on a trajectory of decline in the United States. Once positive toward Christianity and Christian moral teachings, cultural shifts toward the mid-90s led many to adopt a more neutral tone toward the Christian faith, seeing it as one option among many in a pluralistic public square. Today, however, Christianity is viewed negatively, and being known as a Christian often means a lower social status in elite society. Christian morality is openly repudiated and viewed as a threat to the new moral order.
In Life in the Negative World, author Aaron M. Renn looks at the lessons from Christian cultural engagement over the past 70 years and suggests specific strategies for churches, institutions, and individuals to live faithfully in the “negative” world–a culture opposed to Christian values and teachings. And since there is no one-size-fits-all solution, living as a follower of Christ in the new, negative world and being missionally engaged will require a diversity of strategies.

Path Through Pain
$27.99In the midst of deep pain, how can you move forward?
Most of us spend our lives avoiding pain at every turn, so when we inevitably experience it, it sends us into a tailspin. We begin to question why God doesn’t stop bad things from happening, if there’s significance in our pain, and whether or not God is truly worthy of our trust or actually cares about us.
Ed and Lisa Young, bestselling authors and pastors of Fellowship Church, know the kind of pain most of us hope never to experience–the death of a child. With refreshing vulnerability and power, A Path through Pain shares their family’s journey from sorrow and anger to hope and healing after the tragic and sudden loss of their daughter. As they share their incredible perspective, they will inspire and equip you to:
*See God’s presence, love, and care in the middle of your suffering
*Believe that there is purpose in your pain, even if you can’t see that purpose yet
*Rebuild your life after a season of pain
*Restore your trust in God and the world you live inGod really does care for us, and in the darkest of places, his light still shines to show us a way through.

Loving Disagreement : Fighting For Community Through The Fruit Of The Spiri
$16.99What does it look like to love someone you disagree with?
Fighting, disagreements, hatred, dissension, and silence. These things seem common in the wider Christian community today. Politics, theology, and even personal preference create seemingly insurmountable rifts. It’s hard not to see ourselves as “at war” with each other.
We’re not doomed to be stuck here, though. There is a twofold path out of this destructive war, out of seeing our brothers and sisters as enemies–and into a spacious place of loving each other even as we disagree.
In Loving Disagreement, Kathy Khang and Matt Mikalatos bring unique insight into how the fruit of the Spirit informs our ability to engage in profound difference and conflict with love. As followers of Jesus are planted in the Holy Spirit, the Spirit grows and bears good things in our lives–and relationships and communities are changed.
*Each chapter features author conversations about the communal and cultural implications of the fruit of the Spirit.
*Book includes a glossary of social and cultural terms.

*Does God have more in store for me than this? Am I really allowed to go after it?
*Can God use a flawed and broken person like me to impact the Kingdom?
*And more!At the heart of a Trailblazer lies a supernatural courage, strength, and faith to go first. Come alongside Micah to discover what it truly means to live out the way of a Trailblazer and to live a life that matters.

God Is Able 10th Anniversary Edition (Anniversary)
$17.99I wrote the first edition of this book a decade ago. I was young and confident. Then ten years happened. To me. To you. To us.

God Never Gives Up On You
$29.99Ever wonder if you’ve had one too many stumbles for God to use someone like you? If you could benefit from a tale of God’s unending, unbending, unswerving love and devotion, let bestselling author and pastor Max Lucado show you how God’s grace will transform your life.
God Never Gives Up on You is a book for the members of the Lost Halo Society. For the strugglers among us and the fumbler within us. For those of us who are part saint, part scoundrel. We mean well, but we don’t always do well. We have breakthroughs and breakdowns, often in the same hour. We need no reminder of our failures, but we could always use a refresher course on God’s perfect plan to use imperfect people to do great things.
No one is more suited to the task than Jacob. He was less a prodigy and more a prodigal. Strong on savvy. Low on conscience. Jacob took advantage of his famished brother and pulled the wool over the eyes of his dying father, yet God never turned his back on Jacob.
God used Jacob because God chose to use Jacob. Period. The word for that kind of devotion? Grace. Grace came after Jacob. Grace found him in the desert. Grace protected him in exile. Grace wrestled him to the ground and blessed him. Grace led him home to Canaan.
By taking a closer look at Jacob’s incredible story, you will:
*learn to see the ways God turns your brokenness into blessings,
*overcome shame and negative thoughts by embracing who you are in the eyes of a loving, merciful God, and
*strengthen your relationships by leading a life marked by grace and forgiveness for yourself and others.
Jacob’s story invites us to believe in a God who sticks beside the unworthy and underachievers and leads us safely home. If God can use Jacob to further his kingdom, he can use us too. Let Max show you how.

By following the biblical example of Joseph and the teachings of Jesus, learn to turn your hurt and trials into a springboard for a more tangible and intimate relationship with God.
In 2016, a year after releasing his book Jesus Speaks, bestselling author Steven K. Scott’s mentor and dearest friend, Gary Smalley, fell asleep in his bed and woke up in heaven. Steven had lost not only his best friend of forty-three years but also his most enthusiastic encourager.
Brokenhearted, he lost his passion to write.

Inspired, Steven began studying the life of Joseph, a biblical figure who suffered trauma after trauma but used his suffering as a tool.
With so many people living in a world of hurt and uncertainty, The Joseph Principles gives you what you need to heal your hurts and successfully navigate through current trials and future adversities.

Seizing The Good Life
$17.99Living on high alert drains your energy and steals your joy. There is a better way and Seizing the Good Life will help you find it as it takes you through the Gospel of John.
If our chaotic culture has left you drained of joy, here’s some good news: there is a way to get it back–and keep it.
Let’s face it. Joy is becoming as scarce in our culture as fresh eggs at the grocery store. Constant headlines about one catastrophe after another, along with living in a society bent on erasing God from our consciousness, can leave us stressed out and working hard just to get by–far from the good life of abundant joy Jesus promised us.
And yet, He did promise us that His yoke is easy and His burden is light. So how do we go about seizing the good life from the jaws of depression and hopelessness that threaten us now?
Shellie Rushing Tomlinson has walked this path and knows the way. With the Gospel according to John as her roadmap–and plenty of personal stories, insights, and a healthy dollop of humor for good measure–she can help you not only rediscover the peace and joy found in friendship with Jesus, the Lover of your soul, but maintain it over the long haul.
God never intended for you to hold on to a dry faith with chewed-up fingernails. You really can know peace and joy in the middle of our anxious and angry culture. A deep dive into this study will help you seize the good life once again.

Love Stories Of The Bible Speak Workbook (Workbook)
$18.99DISCOVER GOD’S UNCONDITIONAL LOVE THROUGH LOVE STORIES IN THE BIBLE
The most foundational truth in Scripture is God’s unconditional, unending, unfailing love for His people. Throughout its pages, we find the breadth of love expressed in the forms of friendship, family, romance, marriage, and more. From the first love between Adam and Eve, to the bonding love of Joseph and Mary, to the deep, meaningful friendships like that of David and Jonathan, the Bible takes us on a journey of discovering how God’s unconditional love is expressed.
This workbook based on New York Times bestselling author Shannon Bream’s book, The Love Stories of the Bible Speak, walks you through thirteen biblical lessons on romance, friendship, and faith in various stories across the Bible where you’ll get a front row seat into the many challenges these men and women faced. As you explore these stories of love, you’ll be encouraged to renew your love for others and for God.
You will discover how God’s love is often very different from ours, turning our assumptions about life, relationships, and each other upside down. Each relationship focused on in this workbook displays similar obstacles to the ones we face today. Many encountered difficult conflicts and unspeakable challenges. Yet together they remind us that we are designed to both love and to be loved.
Each lesson includes four components:
REFLECT invites you to read key moments of each relationship in the Bible and see how the stories of characters in Scripture resemble your own experiences.
CONNECT asks you to consider how our Heavenly Father works throughout the Old and New Testaments to show us how he responds to our relational needs and design.
REVEAL provides an opportunity to identify specific ways in which we receive and offer love to others as well as receive and demonstrate love from God.
PRAY asks you to prayerfully consider how the love stories throughout Scripture tie into how God is challenging and growing your relationships today.

Impact Of Ordinary People
$10.99Moses, David, Joseph, Peter, Paul…these are just some of the well-known names of the Bible. They are the subject of countless sermons and stories that have inspired Bible lessons from childhood to adulthood. But Scripture also contains a supporting cast of ordinary men and women often overlooked in Bible study. These lesser-known characters deserve accolades for their contribution to God’s redemptive story.
In a three-part series, Don Wilkerson shares the impact of those less known in the Bible, both named and unnamed. These not-so-familiar characters are brought to life in short but thought-provoking chapters with lessons that remind us that God often uses ordinary people in extraordinary ways to build His kingdom.
For those seeking discipleship material for personal growth, The Impact of Ordinary People will aid individual and small group Bible study. This three-part series is also a helpful resource for pastors and Christian leaders to develop unique and one-of-a-kind sermons.

Do Not Be True To Yourself
$7.99Countercultural Yet Biblical Advice for High School and College Students, Ideal for Graduation and Birthday Gifts
Most speeches addressed to high school and college students follow a similar theme: march to the beat of your own drum. This may sound encouraging on the surface, but Scripture exhorts believers to submit their lives to the will of God, not their own desires. Christian students need gospel-centered truth to guide them on their journey toward independence.
In this collection of inspiring sermons and graduation speeches, Kevin DeYoung delivers a motivational, biblical call to young people: serve God faithfully-and if necessary, counter-culturally-in the next season of your life. Do Not Be True to Yourself includes practical advice for cultivating a Christ-centered worldview in every area of adult life, including relationships, work, church participation, and spiritual growth, making it a transformational resource for mentoring students.

$18.99You are chosen, loved, prized, wanted, and believed in by a perfect Father. In Seeing God as a Perfect Father, Louie Giglio invites us to experience God in a life-changing way: as a perfect Father who wants you to live under the waterfall of His blessing.
A. W. Tozer wrote, “What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us.” How we view God makes all the difference in our lives. It informs everything about who we are and who we’re becoming.
When you think about God, do you imagine a ruler who demands absolute loyalty, or a coach who expects you to perform to his expectations? Or even a virtual assistant to help when other options are exhausted? This updated edition of the national bestseller Not Forsaken challenges our perception of who God is and points us to a heavenly Father who is not absent or ambivalent, but is available and affectionate, ready to shower us with his approval and love.
No matter what has happened on this side of eternity between you and your earthly dad, Seeing God as a Perfect Father will help you:
*Embrace who God is and discover the truth and beauty of his nature
*Understand that God uniquely created you and loves you unconditionally
*Unlock the chains holding you captive and find freedom in who you are in Christ
*Walk in the fullness, authority, and intimacy a child of GodWhen we take hold of the truth that our God has spanned heaven and earth to reach us, we will no longer be defined by our past but by the love of a perfect Father. Learn how God wants us to experience his unique, unconditional love and to live in the freedom, abundance, and blessing He freely gives.

Sacred Strides : The Journey To Belovedness In Work And Rest
$18.99In this fresh look at finding balance between work and sabbath rest, Justin McRoberts leads readers on their journey from false self to true self, discovering that growth and maturity take root in the knowledge of their belovedness in Christ.
In his two decades working as a full-time artist and spiritual guide, Justin McRoberts has experienced first-hand the tension between “The Hustle” and “Self Care.” In recent years, that conversation has turned to argument as people have suggested that one is more important than the other. But Justin disagrees entirely with such a one-sided approach.
Justin says, “My natural posture is not work, nor is my natural posture rest. My natural posture is belovedness, and both work and rest spring from my belovedness, and return me to it.” In this book, he uses humorous and poignant stories to help readers discover the deep truths about us being laborers for/with Christ, empowered by the Spirit, as well as worshipers of God the Father. Readers will learn how:
*Sabbath is a gift and a practice that frees us from the anxiety of proving ourselves
*They are loved and valued by God for who and whose they are–not for what they do
*Rest is not the absence of work; it is what gives work meaning
*We can love our world and the people in it through what we doWe are not tools in God’s tool belt, valued only for our gifts and talents. Nor are we ascetics called to abandon “daily life” to find God in the desert and just sit there. We are beloved by the One who holds all things together . . . including our need to work and our need to rest.

Agents Of Grace
$18.99Political division. Racial tension. Vaccine wars. In Agents of Grace, award-winning writer, journalist, and podcast host Daniel Darling equips us to discern what’s worth fighting for, how to move beyond our profound disagreements, and how to live as agents of Jesus’s love.
When Daniel Darling was fired as spokesperson for the National Religious Broadcasters Association, it wasn’t his exit that made national news–it was the way he handled it. Daniel’s charitable response to those he had worked with was so radical that it made headlines. But why has kindness among Christians become so startling?
In Agents of Grace, Daniel explores practical ways we can follow the Bible’s command to “strive actively for peace” even in a painfully divided church, country, and world. On a very personal level, he helps us climb out of cynicism about how the people of God treat each other, especially when we are trying to heal from such pain in our own lives.
Beautifully written, Agents of Grace draws on modern-day examples and biblical truths to address:
*Divisions that keep us from obeying Jesus’s command to love one another
*Virtues that will lead us to a peace-filled life
*The theological differences that are worth fighting for, and those that are not
*How to avoid apathy and heal from past hurt, even amid hypocrisy and corruption
*The difference between forgiveness, reconciliation, and trustIn this hope-filled book, Daniel issues a clarion call to live as bridgebuilders in a divided country, healers in a hurting church, and countercultural Jesus-followers in a world that needs to know God’s love.

Starved : Why We Need A Spiritual Diet Change To Move Us From Tired Anxious
$16.99We’re consuming, we’re filling up, we’re taking in, but at the end of the day, our souls are still starving.
So many of us feel dissatisfied and empty emotionally, physically, and even spiritually. Our lives are rushed, overflowing, and we’re low on joy, fulfillment, peace, and purpose. In our spare moments, we turn to our phones, social media, and a million other little things, desperate for relief, but over time, these distractions become an unhealthy diet for our souls uplifting us for a moment but ultimately denying us the nourishment we need.

These addicting substitutes keep us coming back for more, never providing satisfaction.
But there is hope. We don’t have to stay stuck and malnourished. We can become free of shame, disappointment, and anxiety.
In Starved, popular author and teacher Amy Seiffert shows readers how to stop ingesting spiritual junk food and offers simple and replenishing practices like silence, service, and Sabbath that can bring us closer to Jesus.

Dangerous Jesus : Why The Only Thing More Risky Than Getting Jesus Right Is
$24.99No one was more dangerous than the Lord Jesus.
From the moment He arrived on the scene, Jesus posed a threat to the unjust, a threat to the oppressors, and a threat to every semblance of authority wielded by the kingdom of darkness. He invaded the world with love for the forgotten, hope for the hopeless, and freedom for the bound. His ideas were disruptive, subversive, and scandalous to the world around Him.
Jesus was so dangerous, the powers that be killed Him.
Today, our generation is seeing a surge of people walking away from the Christian faith. But what’s repelling people isn’t Jesus; it’s that what is often propagated as mainstream Christianity is simply not worthy of His name.
Jesus is the most admired figure in history. He is also the most ignored, weaponized, reinterpreted, and misappropriated figure in history. The question is . . . who do you think He is?
In Dangerous Jesus, Kevin “KB” Burgess award-winning rapper, podcaster, and international speaker reintroduces us to the true Jesus, the one who poses a living threat to the status quo. He’s a threat to our division. He’s a threat to our rebellion. He is the kind of dangerous that is so infused with power from on high that nothing stays the same when He walks into the room. His love is so strong, it’s intoxicating. His truth is so good, it sets people free.
We need to reconnect with this Jesus.
We need to become a threat to the threats.
We need to be dangerous.If you’re ready to meet the real Jesus . . . If you’re ready to join in the fight . . . If you want to make the church a genuine threat to evil once again . . . join KB in Dangerous Jesus and encounter the enemy-loving, world-changing, good-dangerous Savior.

$27.99Popular podcaster and self-proclaimed control freak Tara Sun shows how having everything under control is overrated–not to mention downright dangerous–and reveals the surprising, lifegiving alternative: only radical surrender to God brings the peace and fulfillment we yearn for.
Today’s culture is peddling a seductive promise, a message that bombards social media feeds and dominates bestseller lists: you can control your circumstances and achieve any goal through positive thinking, organization, and sheer force of will. But anyone who’s tried to white-knuckle their way to self-fulfillment has discovered what lies on the other side of this supposedly empowering message: frustration, disappointment, and exhaustion.
Tara knows what it’s like to be obsessed with control–all under the guise of the supposed virtues of being self-sufficient, organized, and high achieving. When a battle with severe chronic illness demolished her illusions of control, Tara embarked on a journey of discovering the antidote to the burdensome and ultimately empty myth of control: surrender to the God who cares for us and has an infinitely better blueprint for a life filled with joy, peace, and meaning. Readers will:
*identify how the false promises of control and self-sufficiency have warped their view of themselves, their hopes, and their purpose;
*learn to trust God–in the big events and the small details of their lives;
*discover practical steps and strategies for letting go of control and moving forward in faith, even in the face of setbacks and disappointments; and
*be inspired by examples from Tara’s life and from the Bible of the strength and purpose that comes through a lifestyle of surrender.
For all those who are exhausted from trying to control their lives and disappointed by their unreached plans, Surrender Your Story is a welcome lifeline that opens readers’ eyes to the beauty of a life surrendered to the Master Planner.

Dont Hold Back
$25.00The New York Times bestselling author of Radical challenges Christians to break free from an American gospel that prostitutes Jesus for comfort, power, prosperity, and politics–and fully pursue the true gospel that exalts Jesus above all.
Pastor David Platt believes we’ve gotten really good at following a really bad gospel–one that worships American ideas over biblical truth. It’s time for disillusioned, discouraged, and divided Christians, and the next generation, to follow Jesus into a different future.
But we have to make a choice: an American gospel or the biblical gospel. Worldly division or otherworldly unity. Compromise with the idols of our country or commitment to God’s call in our lives. In Don’t Hold Back, Platt encourages followers of Jesus to take necessary risks and find unimaginable reward as we:
– Work for–not against–each other, especially when we disagree
– Turn the tide on centuries of racial division in the church
– Trust all of God’s Word with conviction while loving everyone around us with compassion
– Do justice with kindness, and experience the good life according to God
– Play our part in spreading the gospel to all the nations of the worldWe can experience the full wonder of Jesus and transcendent beauty of his church here and now. But in order to do so, some things need to be different. Starting not in “those people,” but in each one of us. With the gospel in our hearts and God as our prize, let’s press on and don’t hold back.

Made To Belong
$19.99Author and pastor David Kim shares his experiences with loneliness as a Korean American immigrant and delivers compelling research about belonging that includes the revolutionary five anchors for developing meaningful relationships.
Even though we are connected more than ever–through social media, video calls and texts, and advanced travel opportunities–we’re also drowning in loneliness and isolation. As discipleship pastor of WestGate Church in Silicon Valley, David Kim decided to research the reasons why–and uncovered surprising answers.
When Kim moved to America from South Korea as a child, he experienced isolation during his school years. Differences in language, food, and culture spiked an immense desire for an accepting, supportive community. As an adult, he read widely about belonging, and in his survey of more than 1,300 Christians, he discovered that the number-one struggle shared by them is loneliness. Left to ourselves, Kim says, we naturally drift away from God and others, and we begin to believe the lies of the enemy:
*You are all alone. No one else feels this way.
*No one cares about you. How could they?
*God has abandoned you. You were just imagining things before.In Made to Belong, Kim combats those lies with the incredible hope found in the revolutionary Five Practices for Meaningful Connection:
*Priority: People first, no regrets.
*Chemistry: What, you too?
*Vulnerability: Dangerously safe.
*Empathy: I hear and see you.
*Accountability: I can’t carry it, but I can carry you.True belonging takes intentional effort, but Kim reminds us that we are made to belong–to each other and to Jesus. Through sound wisdom from the Bible, proven research from the social sciences and his own data, and examples from his pastoral ministry and moving personal anecdotes, Kim shows us that we are uniquely designed by God to belong to one another for our flourishing.

$12.99Spiritual fitness for Christians whose growth has stagnated
Many of us feel like our spiritual growth has stalled. Our routines have hardened into ruts. Around us, we see other Christians with the same struggles and we start to think that treading water is the basic rhythm of the Christian life.

Each workout, thematically grouped, features a hymn, richly steeped in scripture. There is a Bible passage to read, a list of the scripture references made in the hymn, and three reflection questions to meditate on.

In 2016, a year after releasing his book Jesus Speaks, bestselling author Steven K. Scott’s mentor and dearest friend, Gary Smalley, fell asleep in his bed and woke up in heaven. Steven had lost not only his best friend of forty-three years but also his most enthusiastic encourager.
Brokenhearted, he lost his passion to write. In 2020, Steven was hospitalized, wondering if he’d survive COVID, and the Holy Spirit let him know, in no uncertain terms, that it was time to break free from past hurts and disappointments, start living in the present, and do what God had called him to do. Inspired, Steven began studying the life of Joseph, a biblical figure who suffered trauma after trauma but used his suffering as a tool.
With so many people living in a world of hurt and uncertainty, The Joseph Principles gives you what you need to heal your hurts and successfully navigate through current trials and future adversities. By following examples from Joseph’s life and the corresponding teachings of Jesus, begin confronting your deepest hurts and find freedom, using your past trauma as a springboard to a closer relationship with God.
