Fervent passion for Jesus is often one of the first things to fade as we struggle through the daily grind of life, especially after grappling with disappointments and pain. Yet inherent in Jesus's call to return to our first love is his promise to help us never to lose it—to have a heart sustained in joy, delight, and passion for him all of our days. Dana Candler shares her own wrestle with weariness and unbelief, and reveals that a heart fully alive in Jesus is not only possible but is the promise and invitation of God's infinite grace.

The search for power is as old as time itself. Man's use and abuse of power is chronicled in our history books, enshrined in our monuments, and glamorized in our legends. We have power lunches, power naps, and power bars: but even in this energized environment, true power often eludes us. Secret Sources of Power will take you down a road less traveled. You will discover that the way up is down; to lay hold you must let go; to be filled you must become empty. It isn't the easy way...but if you want a power that doesn't rise and fall with circumstance and whim, it is the only way!

A practical guide to starting or reigniting your small group, The Cure for Groups unpacks five core components that help you lead the kind of life-changing group Jesus made possible.

Have you ever felt like you're living a subpar version of yourself? Have you given God your yes, but still struggle to step into your full potential? If so, it's time to tap into your God-given potential, embrace your unique identity, and live a purpose-filled life. In Courage and Confidence, Nicole Salmon provides the tools you need to evict yourself from your curated comforts, which have resulted in silence, compliance, and dumbing down your capabilities. You'll discover how to stand confidently in your created identity―affirmed, decisive, and clear about your purpose.

La crainte est l'une des émotions humaines les plus fortes, et souvent l’une des plus mal comprises par les chrétiens. Dans la Bible, cette émotion peut sembler tout aussi déconcertante : la crainte est-elle une bonne ou une mauvaise chose ? Et que signifie « craindre l’Éternel » ? Dans Réjouissez-vous et tremblez, Michael Reeves lève le voile sur ce sujet en montrant que la crainte de l’Éternel n'est pas du tout une chose négative, mais plutôt un sentiment d'émerveillement intense devant Dieu, notre Créateur et Rédempteur.

God wants to put a face on giving – and the face he has in mind is not yours, but his. What if you could take something out of your pocket today that would make God wonderfully personal and absolutely real to someone who, only minutes earlier, had been secretly calling out to God for help, for an answer, for any shred of evidence that He cares? Discover the incredible resource that’s small enough to fit in your wallet or purse, yet big enough to change someone’s life – starting with yours.

Discipleship can feel like a meandering journey - we don’t know what we want, and none of the programs offered seem to get us anywhere. We need something to orient ourselves and something to direct our steps toward a clear destination. Simple Discipleship, with its companion assessment tool, offers a plan for discipleship that is tailored to your real life and your personality and clearly pointed in the way of Jesus.

What is a Christian? At the most basic level, a Christian is a disciple of Jesus Christ. And yet many Christians today couldn't tell you what a disciple of Jesus Christ is, or would even think of themselves as disciples. And yet in the Great Commission, Jesus specifically called us to make disciples. Everything else is secondary. The Cost of Cheap Grace is an extended, sweeping, bold, and bracing call to repentance for where we've let secondary things subvert our commitment to discipleship, and a compelling vision for discipleship as the basis of the gospel.

There is a way to confront problems in life, shake them off, and move on. Based on the story (see Acts 27-28) of the Apostle Paul's near catastrophic shipwreck, this is a call to individuals to "shake off" problems and disasters in life and move forward to new health and wholeness. To everyone on the ship with the Apostle Paul, it looked like a certain disaster. But as Paul predicted, everyone did survive - even though they made it to safety only by grasping "broken pieces of wood."

Following Jesus does not have to be as complicated as Christianity can make it appear. While Jesus certainly requires commitment, He has never required complexity. Better Than a Christian helps you to strengthen your walk with Christ by allowing Jesus to define and simplify that walk. In fact, Jesus made five statements about following him that will radically transform your relationship with Christ and deeply impact the lives of those around you.

Human beings are wired for connection. We long for deep relationships and real intimacy — both of which reflect our fundamental desire to be close to God. But all too often, whether because of our sin or our failures, we imagine that God prefers to keep his distance. In this book, Edward T. Welch shows us the purpose for which we were created: to be brought near to God as a kingdom of priests.

We all want life change, but achieving it is hard. As Christians, we know we’ve got God’s help. Jesus has made it possible. The Holy Spirit even lives inside us! And yet, too many Christians are stuck in the mud when it comes to life change. What’s going on? Can things ever get better? Can my life ever turn the corner?

You may think you're not ready to make a difference in God's kingdom or that you're too young for others to take seriously. But that's not what God thinks. At some point, you have to understand your own purpose and significance in the kingdom of God. How does God want to use you? This book uses the Old Testament leader Joshua as a model for stepping up to God's big calling

Whether it's a painful end or a joyful beginning—or even an uncertain middle—theologian and minister Amy Davis Abdallah has found something that helps: rituals. In Meaning in the Moment, she shows why we need rituals to help survive and even thrive through various seasons of life. Starting with the foundation that rituals are a core, and underexplored, part of Christian practice, Davis Abdallah draws from theology, psychology, and personal experiences in creating rituals for herself and others.

The most urgent call upon God?s people is to live as followers of Jesus. The most indicting critique against the church is as simple: its failure to do so. We long to renew our hope for a world broken and hurting. And it is we, God's people living in the power of the Holy Spirit, who are called to become this hope and flourish while in exile. Here is the crisis: we are made and redeemed for this calling, but it slides through our fingers.

THE COST OF DISCIPLESHIP We need one another. Yet we don’t always know how to develop relationships that help us grow in the Christian life. What does the call to discipleship mean today in our busy, self-absorbed world? How would we manage the time required to mentor properly? Do we understand the debt of grace we owe to the lost? Drawing on 2 Timothy 2:2 and Matthew 28, Charles Morris answers these timeless questions on discipleship. The Cost of Discipleship is compelling and demands a sacrifice few are willing to pay. Biblical discipleship brings a new type of leadership inspired by ...

The average length of Jesus’ conversations as recorded in the Gospels was 42 seconds long. This is good news for all of us. It frees us up to talk about the most important part of our lives in a way that’s natural, meaningful, and helpful instead of clumsy, awkward, and irrelevant. Anyone who has spent countless uncomfortable hours walking from house to house with a clipboard or flash cards that talk about four spiritual laws understands.
