Sure, we all know what discipleship is. Take the disciples, the Big Twelve. Super-religious guys who hung out with Jesus, carried his bags, handed out baguettes and smoked herring to the hungry followers and listeners (“Where did he get this much food, anyway. My arms are killin’ me.”), did their best to be bodyguards for Jesus (well, except at the end), were the most intimate friends Jesus had as well as the Inner Circle of his teaching (“Nice story, Jesus,but what are you getting at?”). Okay, so when you read the Gospels (or Acts) at face value, the disciples (or apostles) weren’t always on top of things the way Jesus would’ve liked. Okay, let’s be plain: for being Christ’s closest friends and intimate confidants, the disciples were clueless, selfish, erratic, inconsistent, and faithless at least half the time. And Jesus just loved them and used them all the more for it. Author Mike Yaconelli scrubs away centuries of sentimental buildup that has made first-century disciples–well, hard for a turn-of-the-century teenager to emulate. In Devotion: A Raw-Truth Journal on Following Jesus there’s hope for erratic, inconsistent, and sometimes-faithless adolescents who want to follow Christ closer than they do. Here’s a 30-day adventure through 30 traits of disciples as we read about them in the New Testament. And they’re not all pretty. But they’re all the marks of a disciple. Fear. Boldness. Fearlessness. Laziness. Weakness. Sensitivity. Brokenness. Alienation. Hunger. Immaturity. Strength. Preparedness. In each daily reading kids will find: * A discipleship event from Scripture * A brief but pointed paragraph describing that day’s disciple’s trait * A teenager’s first-person commentary on the trait * “The Obvious Truth” and “Obvious Lesson” from the Scripture passage and commentary–and then the “Not So Obvious Truth” and “Not So Obvious Lesson.” * Scripture references for extra reading on the trait * Questions that invite kids to ponder the application of the reading to their own experiences and desires. Devotion: A Raw-Truth Journal on Following Jesus is appropriate for small group reflection and discussion as well as for private use.

Surprised By Hope
$15.99For years Christians have been asking, “If you died tonight, do you know where you would go?” It turns out Christians have been giving the wrong answer. It is not heaven.
One of today’s premier Bible scholars and award-winning author N.T. Wright outlines the present confusion about a Christian’s future hope and shows how it is deeply intertwined with how we live today. Wright shows that Christianity’s most distinctive idea is bodily resurrection. First, he provides a magisterial defense of a literal resurrection of Jesus himself. This became the cornerstone for the Christian community’s hope in the bodily resurrection of all people at the end of the age. Next Wright explores our expectation of “new heavens and new earth,” showing what happens to the dead until then and what will happen with the “second coming” of Jesus. For many, including many Christians, all this will come as a great surprise.
Wright convincingly argues that what we believe about life after death directly affects what we believe about life before death. For if God intends to renew the whole creation – and if this has already begun in Jesus’s resurrection – the church cannot stop at “saving souls” but must anticipate the eventual renewal by working for God’s kingdom in the wider world, bringing healing and hope in the present life.
Lively and accessible, this book will surprise and excite all who are interested in the meaning of life, not only after death but, before it.
