Good Of Giving Up
$12.99
Curious about Lent?
Over the last several years, more and more evangelicals have been observing Lent. Why the influx? Isn’t Lent legalistic? What is gained by giving things up?
In The Good of Giving Up, you’ll get answers to these questions and more. Anglican pastor Aaron Damiani, whose background spans high church and “low” church, explains the season of Lent, defends its theological legitimacy, and guides you in its practice.
After reading The Good of Giving Up: An Introduction to Observing Lent, you will:
*Have a compelling, accessible, and evangelical case for the season of Lent
*Come away motivated and equipped to practice Lent personally
*Discern personal habits and cultural conditioning that make Lent “good medicine” for your soul
*Know how to shepherd your children through Lent
*Understand the dynamics of leading an entire church through Lent
Lent is much more than giving up meat, sweets, or TV. It is a season of intentional discipline and focus on the Lord-a “springtime for the soul.” Read Giving Up and learn everything you need for understanding, practicing, and enjoying this ancient, spiritually formative tradition.

Women Of The Bible Speak
$26.99The women of the Bible lived timeless stories–by examining them, we can understand what it means to be a woman of faith.
People unfamiliar with Scripture often assume that women play a small, secondary role in the Bible. But in fact, they were central figures in numerous Biblical tales. It was Queen Esther’s bravery at a vital point in history which saved her entire people. The Bible contains warriors like Jael, judges like Deborah, and prophets like Miriam. The first person to witness Jesus’ resurrection was Mary Magdalene, who promptly became the first Christian evangelist, eager to share the news which would change the world forever.
In The Women of the Bible Speak, Fox News Channel’s Shannon Bream opens up the lives of sixteen of these Biblical women, arranging them into pairs and contrasting their journeys. In pairing their stories, Shannon helps us reflect not only on the meaning of each individual’s life, but on how they relate to each other and to us.
From the shepherdesses of ancient Israel who helped raise the future leaders of the people of God, to the courageous early Christians, the narrative of the Bible offers us many vivid and fascinating female characters. In their lives we can see common struggles to resist bitterness, despair, and pride, and to instead find their true selves in faith, hope, and love. In studying these heroes of the faith, we can find wisdom and warnings for how to better navigate our own faith journeys.
The Women of the Bible Speak outlines the lessons we can take from the valor of Esther, the hope of Hannah, the audacity of Rahab, and the faith of Mary. In broadening each woman’s individual story, Shannon offers us a deeper understanding of each, and wisdom and insights that can transform our own lives today.
