Risky Gospel : Abandon Fear And Build Something Awesome
$19.99
Risky Gospel is a call to modern Christians to break with a fearful, risk-averse faith and to embrace a Christianity driven by a great God, a powerful gospel, and a holisti-cally courageous way of life.
Do you feel pressure to act as if life is always good, everyone is nice, and things are always going to get better, as if we’re all shiny and happy and upwardly mobile? We know it’s a put on. The reality is that we are living in uncertain times. The good news is not merely the alleviation of whatever ails us. The Lord offers us an exciting life to live. Jesus comes to us to embolden us, not to anesthetize us.
That means the calculus of life is not security, but God-driven risk. This kind of think-ing means that we approach our families, churches, jobs, free time, hobbies, and goals with God’s glory on our mind. Risky Gospel attempts to wake Christians up from their serenity-seeking coma by grouding their faith not in the world of sin but in the world of Scripture. As we see in the example of Christ and his apostles, the gos-pel is worth living for, sacrificing for, and dying for. It is the fulfillment of everything we seek. All that we could ever want is already here, and it is given us through the Holy Spirit.

Prayer
$18.00Renowned pastor and New York Times bestselling author of The Songs of Jesus Timothy Keller explores the power of prayer.
Christians are taught in their churches and schools that prayer is the most powerful way to experience God. But few receive instruction or guidance in how to make prayer genuinely meaningful. In Prayer, renowned pastor Timothy Keller delves into the many facets of this everyday act.
With his trademark insights and energy, Keller offers biblical guidance as well as specific prayers for certain situations, such as dealing with grief, loss, love, and forgiveness. He discusses ways to make prayers more personal and powerful, and how to establish a practice of prayer that works for each reader.
Dr. Keller’s previous books have sold more than one million copies. His Redeemer Presbyterian Church is not only a major presence in his home base of New York, it has also helped to launch more than two hundred fifty other churches in forty-eight cities around the world. His teachings have already helped millions, the majority of whom pray regularly. And with Prayer, he’ll show them how to find a deeper connection with God.

Living With Gods Courage
$9.99After many years of writing her own words in her prayer journal, missionary Sarah Young decided to be more attentive to the Savior’s voice and begin listening for what He was saying. So with pen in hand, she embarked on a journey that forever changed her-and many others around the world. In the powerful pages of Jesus Calling, Sarah recounts the words and Scriptures Jesus lovingly laid on her heart-words of reassurance, comfort, and hope that have made her increasingly aware of His presence and allowed her to enjoy His peace.
In the Jesus Calling Bible Study series, participants will be guided through eight sessions of study on key principles and topics presented in Sarah’s bestselling book. Readers will study Scripture passages each day to progressively learn (1) what it means to be thankful to God in every situation; (2) how to live boldly for God in a way that inspires others to follow Christ; (3) how to give the control to Christ and put Him first in everything they do; and (4) what it means to trust completely in God and dwell in His peace.
Each eight-session study includes readings from Jesus Calling, selected Scripture and Bible Study questions, and daily reflection questions, and is designed for use in personal, small-group, or classroom settings.
