  Undaunted Joy : The Revolutionary Act Of Cultivating Delight

  $19.99

  What if we weren’t intimidated by the task of living with full-throated joy?

  In this collection of short essays, Shemaiah Gonzalez recommends a fresh view on life, through her own experiences and discovery of finding joy in both the mundane and magnificent. In energetic prose, Gonzelez finds delight in naps, capybaras, and wandering the English countryside – and encourages readers to see the joy present in these moments as well. When we turn our attention to the joy around us, we become attuned to God’s constant presence with us and in all these things.

  This is not toxic positivity. Gonzalez is no stranger to the darkness present in the world. Rather, knowing both darkness and light helps us acknowledge the disparity between the two. In Undaunted Joy, Gonzalez dares to stare darkness in the eye and respond in joy as an act of defiance.

  Over the course of 37 essays, Gonzalez entices the reader to join her in this endeavor. Her tender reflections and engaging storytelling beckon us to look at the world through the lens of joy, even when faced with the pain and hardship, and thereby revolutionize our everyday. In teaching readers to see joy as a way of life, Undaunted Joy gives us permission to claim God’s goodness even in a broken world and to share it with abandon.

  Theos Starter Pack

  $24.98

  Recovering…Timeless Truths

  Like an online starter pack meme, Theos Starter Pack: Toward a Recovery of Essential Christianity is designed to provoke a response.

  The book includes twenty essays by a motley crew of Bible geeks who are all active in church ministry and teach at TheosU, an online, nondenominational Bible college.

  The focus is on recovering the roots of Christianity–recovering the way we teach, recovering the Bible’s grand narrative, recovering Christian liberty, recovering apocalyptic, and much more.

  Each writer “takes into consideration the ageless tradition of Christianity that has been handed down through the centuries, resisting the cultural soup and integrating timeless thinking into an approach that works for the present day,” explains Chris Palmer, TheosU dean. This book is a lifeline “to pull yourself out of the soup.”

  You may laugh. You may run to your Bible. You may reach out to one of the writers to share a few choice words. But no matter what, these essayists hope you will be inspired and come away with rich theological insights.

  Theos Starter Pack recovers beautiful elements of ancient Christianity that have been lost or shoved aside in modern society. It’s food for the souls of those who long for a return to the roots of our faith.
