Shadow Self : How To Finally Confront Our Failures And Find New Life
$19.99
Embark on a transformative journey with Shadow Self, where pastor and philosopher Mark Chironna guides you through the depths of the human soul. Here, shadows and the potential for resurrection coexist.
Chironna invites you to face your darkest corners head-on, not merely to heal but to truly live. Drawing on powerful biblical and cultural stories-from Moses to Michael Corleone, from Elijah to Spiderman-he shows how our fears and dreams awaken our desire to confront adversities with courage.
The key to every story? The shadows. Our heroes, like ourselves, are not immune to pain and failure.
Anxiety and fear. Grief and loss. Financial stress. Old trauma and wounds. Social strife. These shadowy parts of ourselves-those things we try to hide-are not residues to bury. They are the means of our flourishing, the tools to find and live our fullest self. Our darkest moments are essential. Our greatest mistakes become the very means by which we summon strength and find our truest selves.
According to Chironna, this means of grace is resurrection. Resurrection is not just a historical event but a daily practice, a habit of rising above life’s trials. Practicing resurrection leads us out of the shadows.
Through this practice, we move from languishing to flourishing. We rediscover joy and move beyond trauma and fear toward a life well-lived.

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.
