In Beautiful, Disappointing, Hopeful, Drew Hyun shows us why our avoiding loss is not the biblical pathway to experiencing beauty. He encourages us to engage with three simple practices—gratitude, grieving, and grace—that can build lasting spiritual resilience as we learn to grow through our loss and disappointment.

As Zach Meerkreebs ended his sermon on the campus of Asbury University, he prayed, “Jesus, do a new thing in our midst. Revive us by your love.” He had preached from Romans 12: 9-13 and urged students to consider how they love and how God loves them. Before leaving, he challenged them, “Do not leave here until you experience the love of God so that you can pour it out.” To him, the sermon felt quite ordinary, yet several students remained, praying and worshipping, and others joined them until a crowd formed that grew to over 65,000 and covered the campus and small Kentucky town

Becoming a Future-Ready Church is a blueprint to guide you through eight critical shifts to help lead your church into the future with wisdom and hope. It describes several major converging trends that will greatly impact the church in America over the next few decades: the Great Resignation of Boomer leaders from churches, the shrinking percentage of Christians in America, and the change in felt needs among rising generations shaped heavily by anxiety, skepticism, and fragmentation.

In Wild Faith: How the Christian Right is Taking Over America, author Talia Lavin goes deep into the beliefs that motivate the Christian right, from its segregationist past to a future riddled with apocalyptic visions. Along the way, she explores what motivates anti-abortion terrorists; the Christian Patriarchy movement, with its desire to place all women under absolute male control; the twisted theology that leads to rampant child abuse; and the ways conspiracy theorists and extremist Christians influence each other to mutual political benefit.

Americans have been leaving their churches. Some drift away. Some stay home. And some have been searching for—and finding—more authentic ways to find and follow Jesus. This is the story of one such “radical outpost of Jesus followers” dedicated to service, the Sermon on the Mount, and working toward justice for all in this life, not just salvation for some in the next. Part of a little-known yet influential movement at the edge of American evangelicalism, Philadelphia’s Circle of Hope grew for forty years, planted four congregations, and then found itself in crisis.

Building on years of deep reporting, Pulitzer Prize-winner Eliza Griswold paints an intimate portrait of pastors and church members' desperate wrestling to find a way to remain together despite their dividing truths. Through generational rifts, an increasingly politicised religious landscape, a pandemic and a rise in foundation-shaking activism, Circle of Hope tells a propulsive, layered story of what we do to stay true to our beliefs. It is a soaring, searing examination of what it means for a community to love, to grow, and crucially to disagree.

Many American Christians are struggling to find places of worship which reflect their core conservative beliefs. Today, many Evangelical leaders are pushing their members to “whisper” about sexual sins, reconsider abortion, lament the effects of climate change, and repent of “perpetuating systemic racism.” Meanwhile, America’s largest Evangelical denominations are fraught with division over issues like critical race theory, and many ministries are now promoting social justice rather than Scripture.

When you feel your soul being afflicted with anxiety and turmoil, return to Scripture to find rest. Listening to the books of Psalms and Proverbs enhanced with peaceful nature sounds in the background will restore the calm your heart needs. Be refreshed and renew your walk with God as you listen to his Word in the most-trusted modern English Bible translation, the New International Version.

Often we view prayer as an activity reserved for a certain time, in a certain place, offered in a specific way. Scripture invites us to pray continually. This exhortation is an opportunity for prayer to permeate every aspect of our lives—when we're alone or in a crowd, when it's quiet and when it's chaotic, when we feel like it and when we don't. Organic Prayer shows us how to make continuous prayer a natural part of our lives rather than something on a spiritual checklist.

I have written this book for the non-Christian. If you are a person who does not attend church or has had little to no Christian/church upbringing, then this book is for you. I have sought to eliminate any religious language that would be familiar only to Christians. While I quote extensively from the Bible, I deliberately chose not to include the Scripture references so the text does get bogged down with unfamiliar books and locations (example, 2 Chronicles 29:15). All Bible verses are set off in quotation marks.

The need for power ministry is as strong today as it was when Jesus and the apostles walked the earth. The need for demonstrations of Gods powerful love, exhibited through His church, will demolish strongholds of unbelief and relativism, as well as tear down cultural barriers that may bring confusion when only the words of the good news are shared, but its power is neglected. When Jesus and the apostles proclaimed the good news of salvation to people, works of power accompanied them. Today, the entire church needs mentored in how to bring Gods word to the world in power. This book is a ...
