The King Jesus Gospel Scot McKnight The Original Good News Revisited

Contemporary evangelicals have built a "salvation culture" but not a "gospel culture." Evangelicals have reduced the gospel to the message of personal salvation. This book makes a plea for us to recover the old gospel as that which is still new and still fresh. The book stands on four arguments: that the gospel is defined by the apostles in 1 Corinthians 15 as the completion of the Story of Israel in the saving Story of Jesus; that the gospel is found in the Four Gospels; that the gospel was preached by Jesus; and that the sermons in the Book of Acts are the best example of gospeling in the New Testament. In the Beginning was the Gospel ends with practical suggestions about evangelism and about building a gospel culture.

Organic Outreach for Churches Kevin Harney Infusing Evangelistic Passion in Your Local Congregation

This second book in the Organic Outreach series gives pastors the vision and tools to multiply the outreach impact of churches.

Nearly all churches and ministries consider themselves dedicated to evangelism, and many explicitly include outreach in their mission statements. But few are actually bearing fruit. Kevin Harney diagnoses this problem and offers guidance for multiplying the outreach impact of churches. Organic Outreach for Churches provides direction for local congregations to weave evangelism into the fabric of the church. Commitment to the Great Commission is not simply about sending money and prayers to missions or holding occasional events to reach out (although these things are good). Organic outreach happens when evangelistic vision and action become the domain of every ministry and the commitment of every person in the congregation. This will not happen accidentally. There is huge spiritual and practical resistance to such changes. But the only way evangelism will become an organic part of a church is when every leader and each member is gripped by a commitment to proclaiming the gospel. This book is a roadmap for pastors and leaders who wish to infuse evangelistic passion into every aspect of their church’s life.

Barefoot Church Brandon Hatmaker Serving the Least in a Consumer Culture

Exponential Series

A reproducible strategy to transform your church’s desire to serve others into passionate action.

People are hungry to make a difference in their community, yet most don’t know where to start. In fact, “serving the least” is often one of the most neglected biblical mandates in the church. Barefoot Church shows readers how today’s church can be a catalyst for individual, collective, and social renewal in any context. Whether pastors or laypeople, readers will discover practical ideas that end up being as much about the Gospel and personal transformation as they are about serving the poor. Here they will see how the organizational structure of the church can be created or redesigned for mission in any context. Drawing from his own journey, Brandon Hatmaker proves to readers that serving the least is not a trendy act of benevolence but a lifestyle of authentic community and spiritual transformation. As Hatmaker writes, “My hope is that God would open our eyes more and more to the needs of our community. And that we would see it as the church’s responsibility to lead the charge.”

Think Christianly Jonathan Morrow Looking at the Intersection of Faith and Culture

Practical tools for church leaders to help their congregations embrace thoughtful engagement in today’s faith questions.

Think Christianly is about seizing the opportunities we have every day to speak the life Jesus offers into our culture. Tragically, many such opportunities pass us by unclaimed­either because we don’t notice them or we have not prepared ourselves to enter into them. And those around us seem to grow increasingly unwilling to hear anything the church has to say. Jonathan Morrow helps church leaders envision and implement ways for their congregations to “think Christianly” about contemporary questions and to speak in informed, engaging ways. Morrow explores many of the important issues that Christians often hear raised with regard to faith­questions about who Jesus was, the good and bad of religion, pain and evil in the world, the reliability of the Bible, sexuality and intimate relationships, and hope for change, among others. The life and faith issues that Think Christianly addresses lead to cultural moments where Christianity and contemporary culture intersect. This book will help churches take vital steps toward cultivating compassion and competence in speaking faithfully to a questioning world.

For Calvinism Michael Horton

Award­winning author takes readers beyond the caricatures of Calvinism and immerses them into the true, Biblical teachings it offers.

The system of theology known as Calvinism has been immensely influential for the past five hundred years, but it is often encountered negatively as a fatalistic belief system that confines human freedom and renders human action and choice irrelevant. Taking us beyond the caricatures, Michael Horton invites us to explore the teachings of Calvinism, also commonly known as Reformed theology, by showing us how it is biblical and God­centered, leading us to live our lives for the glory of God. Horton explores the historical roots of Calvinism, walking readers through the distinctive known as the “Five Points,” and encouraging us to consider its rich resources for faith and practice in the 21st Century. As a companion to Roger Olson’s Against Calvinism, readers will be able to compare contrasting perspectives and form their own opinions on the merits and weaknesses of Calvinism.

Folly, Grace, and Power John Koessler The Mysterious Act of Preaching

Theological reflection on the sacredness of preaching—from a professor of homiletics and regular contributor to Preaching Today Magazine.

When you stand before your congregation, what do you hope to accomplish when you preach the Word? If people have Bibles and the freedom to read and pray on their own­why do they need you? In short, what do you bring to the table? Author, pastor, and professor John Koessler answers those questions and many more.

Against Calvinism Roger Olson

Award­winning author demonstrates the errors of Calvinism and how it affects God's reputation.

Calvinist theology has been debated and promoted for centuries. But is it a theology that should last? Roger Olson suggests that Calvinism, also commonly known as Reformed theology, holds an unwarranted place in our list of accepted theologies. In Against Calvinism, readers will find scholarly arguments explaining why Calvinist theology is incorrect and how it affects God’s reputation. Olson draws on a variety of sources, including Scripture, reason, tradition, and experience, to support his critique of Calvinism and the more historically rich, biblically faithful alternative theologies he proposes. Addressing what many evangelical Christians are concerned about today­ so­called “new Calvinism,” a movement embraced by a generation labeled as “young, restless, Reformed” ­Against Calvinism is the only book of its kind to offer objections from a non­Calvinist perspective to the current wave of Calvinism among Christian youth. As a companion to Michael Horton’s For Calvinism, readers will be able to compare contrasting perspectives and form their own opinions on the merits and weaknesses of Calvinism.

Sticky Faith, Youth Worker Edition Kara Powell ,Brad Griffin ,Cheryl Crawford Practical Ideas to Nurture Long­Term Faith in Teenagers

Compelling research and practical ideas to help students develop a faith that sticks long after their involvement in youth groups.

Many of the statistics you read about teenagers and faith can be alarming. Recent studies show that 40­50 percent of kids who are connected to a youth group throughout their senior year will fail to stick with their faith in college. As youth workers are pouring their time and energy into the students in their ministries, they are often left wondering if they’ve done enough to equip their students to carry their faith into adulthood. Fuller Youth Institute has done extensive research in the area of youth ministry and teenage development. In Sticky Faith, the team at FYI presents youth workers with both a theological/philosophical framework and practical programming ideas that develop long­term faith in teenagers. Each chapter presents a summary of FYI’s quantitative and qualitative research, along with the implications of this research, including program ideas suggested and tested by youth ministries nationwide. This resource will give youth pastors what they need to help foster a faith that sticks with all the teenagers in their group long after they’ve left the youth room.

Many people assume that becoming a serious student of the Bible merely requires diligent study of English Bible translations, but biblical scholarship is much more complex.

In one sense, every Bible scholar has to be a general practitioner­the foundation of biblical scholarship must be both broad and well built. Through the course of this book, Witherington invites would­be Bible experts to pursue excellence for the sake of the Bible’s world­altering message. From students considering a Ph.D. to lay Bible teachers, Is There a Doctor in the House? promises to be an informative, engaging, and often humorous resource.

Youth Ministry on a Shoestring Lars Rood How to Do More with Less

Ways youth workers—who were already paying for a lot on their own—can save money and still maximize their ministry’s impact.

Most youth pastors find it a constant struggle to get enough money allotted to their ministry’s budget, and with the latest recession, they’re feeling the crunch now more than ever as churches are cutting costs anywhere they can. But a youth pastor doesn’t have to feel stuck. In this book, youth workers will find innovative ideas to help them discover useful resources in places they hadn’t looked before. In his 15 years of youth ministry, Lars Rood has had his share of tight budgets, and he found that by looking at things from a different perspective, he was able to make his ministry work with limited funds. Here, Rood helps youth workers discover resources in the things around them, or through partnerships and people around them. He offers hope and encouragement to (often) frustrated youth workers as he guides them toward a new perspective when it comes to their ministry budgets.

Seven Days That Divide the World John Lennox The Beginning According to Genesis and Science

A succinct guide to the “creation controversies” by a bestselling author that has debated both Richard Dawkins and Christopher Hitchens.

What did the writer of Genesis mean by “the first day”? Is it a literal week or a series of time periods? If I believe that the earth is 4.5 billion years old, am I denying the authority of Scripture? In response to the continuing controversy over the interpretation of the creation narrative in Genesis, John Lennox proposes a succinct method of reading and interpreting the first chapters of Genesis without discounting either science or Scripture. With examples from history, a brief but thorough exploration of the major interpretations, and a look into the particular significance of the creation of human beings, Lennox suggests that Christians can heed modern scientific knowledge while staying faithful to the biblical narrative. He moves beyond a simple response to the controversy, insisting that Genesis teaches us far more about the God of Jesus Christ and about God’s intention for creation than it does about the age of the earth. With this book, Lennox offers a careful yet accessible introduction to a scientifically­savvy, theologically­astute, and Scripturally faithful interpretation of Genesis.

Wouldn't it be great if you took responsibility for everything you're responsible for? It's time to stop the finger­pointing and excuse­making and to remove the “ir” in irresponsible. In this 4­part series, Andy Stanley tells us it’s time to ask ourselves, “Am I REALLY taking responsibility for my life?” Session titles: 1. Let the Blames Begin 2. The Disproportionate Life 3. This Is No Time to Pray 4. Embracing Your Response Ability. Designed for use with the Taking Responsibility for Your Life Participant’s Guide.

Guardrails Andy Stanley Avoiding Regrets in Your Life

How to establish personal guardrails to avert disaster and avoid regret within your friendships, finances and marriage.

Guardrails: a system designed to keep vehicles from straying into dangerous or off­limit areas. They're everywhere, but they don't really get much attention ... until somebody hits one. And then, more often than not, it is a lifesaver. Ever wonder what it would be like to have guardrails in other areas of your life; areas where culture baits you to the edge of disaster and then chastises you when you step across the line? Your friendships. Your finances. Your marriage. Maybe your greatest regret could have been avoided if you had established guardrails. In this six­session video based study, Andy Stanley challenges us to stop flirting with disaster and establish some personal guardrails. Session titles: 1. Direct and Protect 2. Why Can't We Be Friends 3. Flee Baby Flee! 4. Me and the Mrs. 5. The Consumption Assumption 6. Once and For All. Designed for use with the Guardrails Participant’s Guide.

WEIRD Craig Groeschel Because Normal Isn’t Working

How to break free from the norm and lead a radically abnormal (and endlessly more fulfilling) life.

Normal people are stressed, overwhelmed, and exhausted. Many of their relationships are, at best, strained and, in most cases, just surviving. Even though we live in one of the most prosperous places on earth, normal is still living paycheck to paycheck and never getting ahead. Lust and frequent “casual” sex are far more common than purity and a healthy married sex life. And when it comes to God, the majority believe in him, but the teachings of Scripture rarely make it into their everyday lives. Simply put, normal isn’t working. In this six­session, video­based study, Groeschel’s WEIRD views will help you break free from the norm to lead a radically abnormal (and endlessly more fulfilling) life.

Expanded curriculum from I Saw the Lord corresponding to the trade book, and Anne’s 9/11 talk in New York.

Expecting to See Jesus—the expanded edition of I Saw the Lord—is the result of Anne Graham Lotz’s life lived in the hope of Jesus’ return. As you journey with her through the pages of the Bible, you’ll come to realize why she lives her life expecting to see Jesus at any minute. And, she wants to make sure you and all other Christians are ready for that moment when your faith becomes sight. Anne knows from personal experience that it’s in the busyness of our days, as we’re drifting in comfortable complacency, that we most need a wake­up call—a jolt that pushes us to seek out a revival of our passion for Jesus that began as a blazing fire but somehow has died down to an ineffective glow. In this nine session DVD study, Anne points out the biblical signs she sees in the world all around us and shows how you can experience an authentic, deeper, richer relationship with God in a life­changing, fire­blazing revival.

The Sacred Acre Mark Tabb The Ed Thomas Story

The inspiration found in a small Iowa town after a double tragedy rocked the country and the sports world in 2008.

On a Sunday in May 2008, an F­5 tornado struck the town of Parkersburg, Iowa, killing eight people and destroying 250 homes and businesses within 34 seconds. The next day, Parkersburg’s beloved football coach, Ed Thomas, made a stunning prediction: “God willing, we will play our first home game here on this field this season.” One hundred days later, the home team scored a victory on the field they dubbed “The Sacred Acre,” serving as a galvanizing point for the town to band together and rebuild. But just as Parkersburg was recovering, another devastating tragedy struck. While working with a group of football and volleyball players early one morning, one of Ed’s former students walked in and gunned him down point blank. Ed Thomas was 58. The murder of this hometown hero spread across national news headlines. Ed’s community and family reeled from shock. Yet the story doesn’t end here. What happened next proves that even a double tragedy is no match for faith, love … and the power of forgiveness.

The Peace God Promises Ann Spangler Closing the Gap Between What You Experience and What You Long For

Bestselling author bridges the gap between the Christian promise of peace that passes understanding and the anxiety we experience in our daily lives.

If God has promised to give us the “peace that passes understanding,” why do we sometimes feel so anxious? What are we so afraid of? Are there ways of living that lead to peace? Conversely, are there ways of thinking and acting that lead to anxiety and a conflicted life? How does Jesus embody peace and where did his peace come from? The Peace God Promises sets our longings for peace beside God’s promise to provide it. In her desire to experience greater peace, bestselling author Ann Spangler probes these and other questions. Exploring the stories that shape us, the memories that define us, and the relationships that connect us, she looks for ways to help us become more peaceful. What can we learn from Scripture, from Jewish tradition, from the Amish and others about rest, simplicity, healing, and peace? The stories she shares and the answers she discovers may surprise you. If you put them into practice, they may even transform you, enabling you to experience the peace God wants you to have.

The Heart of the Story Randy Frazee God’s Masterful Design to Restore His People

Story, The

The grand, overarching epic of the Bible in one epic story.

Whether you read it as an integral part of The Story Bible church­wide campaign or on your own for personal growth, The Heart of the Story will help you see God’s Word in a new and inspiring light. In the Bible’s seemingly disconnected stories you’ll discover one grand, unfolding epic—God’s story from Genesis onward, and your own story contained within it. To understand the Bible, says author and pastor Randy Frazee, you need bifocal lenses, because two perspectives are involved. The Lower Story, our story, is actually many stories of men and women interacting with God in the daily course of life. The Upper Story is God’s story, the tale of his great, overarching purpose that fits all the individual stories together like panels in one unified mural. In 31 chapters, The Heart of the Story will open your eyes to God’s master­plan unfolding in the lives of the Bible’s characters—and in your own life. Discover the heart of God’s Upper Story, and the joy that comes as you align your story with God’s.

Love Them Like Jesus Tom Holladay Relationship Principles for Parents

How six of Jesus’ greatest teachings can guide and encourage parents on their journey through life with their children.

Love Them Like Jesus is written out of a love for parenting and a deep desire to encourage parents. Yes, there are experiences in parenting that can cause deep hurt. Yes, there are realities in parenting that certainly will cause you to feel inept. Yet at the core of it all there is a deep gratefulness for the gift that God gives in the opportunity to love a child. This book is a biblical guide to parenting. And by “biblical guide” we mean these pages are intended to take you on a journey through what the truth of God’s Word has to say about parenting. The main goal is not to uncover psychological truths about your child­there are many good resources on psychological theory; nor does it include practical tips for everyday circumstances such as how to get your kids to eat their green beans. Here, we will explore the simple and profound principles of God’s Word to distinguish psychological truth from error, educational reality from untested theory, and we’ll be looking at these tips within the broader context of God’s principles for parenting.

In the tradition of Neta Jackson’s Yada Yada Prayer Group series, Kirkpatrick invites you into the lives of five women friends who promise to help each other achieve their life goals. Annie Shaw's goal is far from simple: become famous. But she’s in trouble after quitting her day job to write full­time. Her second novel tanked, and her new editor wants her to re­write the ending of her latest work to ensure this one is more successful. In order to pursue fame and an elusive bestseller, Annie travels to Chicago, acquires a rambunctious dog, and participates in antics better suited to a television reality show than real life. Can Annie’s best friends help her achieve her goals without destroying her future? Award­winning author Jane Kirkpatrick, known for her superb historical novels, writes this bold, fresh, contemporary story she always threatened she’d one day “put down on paper to make people laugh and consider the true treasures of their hearts.”

Falling to Pieces Vannetta Chapman A Quilt Shop Murder

A Shipshewana Amish Mystery

With six of twenty bestsellers in December in the Amish sub­genre, Vannetta brings a fresh twist—mystery—to the sub­genre that sells.

In this first book of a three­book series, author Vannetta Chapman brings a fresh twist to the popular Amish fiction genre. She blends the familiar components consumers love in Amish books­faith, community, simplicity, family­with an innovative who­done­it plot that keeps readers guessing right up to the last stitch in the quilt. When two women­ one Amish, one English­each with different motives, join forces to organize a successful on­line quilt auction, neither expects nor wants a friendship. As different as night and day, Deborah and Callie are uneasy partners who simply want to make the best of a temporary situation. But a murder, a surprising prime suspect, a stubborn detective, and the town's reaction throw the two women together, and they form an unlikely alliance to solve a mystery and catch a killer. Set in the well­known Amish community of Shipshewana, Falling to Pieces will attract both devoted fans of the rapidly­growing Amish fiction genre, as well as those who are captivated by the Amish way of life.

Prisoner of Conscience Frank Wolf ,Anne Morse One Man's Crusade for Global Human and Religious Rights

Respected congressman and human rights crusader shows what one person can do to fight injustice and relieve suffering.

What’s a congressman from Virginia doing in places where bullets fly and babies starve? Thirty years ago, Frank Wolf was elected to the U.S. Congress to address local transportation issues. Fueled by a faith that made him believe he could do something about it, the congressman grew to champion human and religious rights around the world­from cracking down on gang­related crimes in the U.S. to relieving suffering from war, AIDS, and famine in places like Darfur, China, and Bosnia. Eventually, he became a key proponent of opposing radical Jihadists and creating a National Committee on Terrorism. As Wolf visited some of the most dangerous places in the world, he saw firsthand the need for members of Congress to speak out for persecuted people around the globe. In Prisoner of Conscience, he shares intimate stories of his adventures from the halls of political power to other dangerous places around the world, what he has learned along the way, and what you can do about it now.

Sticky Faith Kara Powell ,Chap Clark Everyday Ideas to Build Lasting Faith in Your Kids

Empowers parents with positive and practical ideas to nurture within their kids a long­ term faith that lasts long after they leave home.

Nearly every Christian parent in America would give anything to find a viable resource for developing within their kids a deep, dynamic faith that "sticks" long term. Sticky Faith delivers.

Based on FYI findings, this easy­to­read guide presents both a compelling rationale and a powerful strategy to show parents how to actively encourage their children’s spiritual growth so that it will stick to them into adulthood and empower them to develop a living, lasting faith. Written by authors known for the integrity of their research and the intensity of their passion for young people, Sticky Faith is geared to spark a movement that empowers adults to develop robust and long­term faith in kids of all ages.

Every Body Matters Gary Thomas Strengthening Your Body to Strengthen Your Soul

A fresh perspective on how physical fitness directly impacts spiritual growth.

Few pastors or Christian writers have dared to approach the subject of how proper eating and an active lifestyle can affect how we serve God. Author Gary Thomas does just that. And he reaches all the way back to the apostle Paul, who wrote that we need to prime our bodies to become, "an instrument for noble purposes, made holy, useful to the Master and prepared to do any good work." To illustrate the body/soul correlation, Thomas presents engaging and diverse stories that include a young mom who got fit through volleyball and reaped spiritual rewards in her marriage, a 300­pound pastor who realized his obesity was eroding his ministry impact, and a woman who gained the spiritual strength to survive a contentious divorce by training for a marathon. In every instance, Thomas makes a direct connection between the physical challenge and its spiritual consequence. This book is a must read for anyone seeking new and compelling motivation for strengthening their bodies and fortifying their souls.

Jesus Wants to Save Christians Rob Bell ,Don Golden A Manifesto for the Church in Exile

New from Rob Bell, author of Velvet Elvis and Sex God.

There is a church not too far from us that recently added a $25 million addition to their building. Our local newspaper ran a front­page story not too long ago about a study revealing that one in five people in our city lives in poverty. This is a book about those two numbers. Jesus Wants to save Christians is a book about faith and fear, wealth and war, poverty, power, safety, terror, Bibles, bombs, and homeland insecurity. It's about empty empires and the truth that everybody's a priest. It's about oppression, occupation, and what happens when Christians support, animate and participate in the very things Jesus came to set people free from. It's about what it means to be a part of the church of Jesus in a world where some people fly planes into buildings while others pick up groceries in Hummers.

Expecting to See Jesus Anne Graham Lotz A Wake­Up Call for God's People

Preparing Christians for the moment when faith becomes sight at Christ’s return.

Expecting to See Jesus—the expanded edition of I Saw the Lord—is the result of Anne Graham Lotz’s life lived in the hope of Jesus’ return. As you journey with her through the pages of the Bible, you’ll come to realize why she lives her life expecting to see Jesus at any minute. And, she wants to make sure you and all other Christians are ready for that moment when your faith becomes sight. Anne knows from personal experience that it’s in the busyness of our days, as we’re drifting in comfortable complacency, that we most need a wake­up call—a jolt that pushes us to seek out a revival of our passion for Jesus that began as a blazing fire but somehow has died down to an ineffective glow. In Expecting to See Jesus, Anne points out the biblical signs she sees in the world all around us and shows how you can experience an authentic, deeper, richer relationship with God in a life­changing, fire­blazing revival.

The Well Mark Hall

Mark Hall is the lead singer and songwriter for the Grammy Award­winning band Casting Crowns, whose first three albums have sold nearly four million copies. The Well will release at the same time as the new album from Casting Crowns and will be promoted extensively throughout the concert tour in fall 2011.

With a heart for ministry, Grammy Award­winning singer and songwriter Mark Hall drills right to the heart of the matter by crafting a powerful message around the story of the woman at the well found in the Gospel of John. In The Well, Hall uses stories from his own life and the lives of others to help us understand why even success­filled lives often seem empty and unsatisfying. In a conversational, sometimes humorous tone, the author talks candidly about his lifelong struggle with dyslexia, his success in the music industry, and the adoption of his Chinese daughter. Through it all he illustrates the folly of seeking sustenance in possessions, acclaim, power, even religion­the false "wells" that soon leave us spiritually parched and longing for something satisfying and eternal. Readers of all ages and walks of life will recognize themselves in these well­drawn stories. Believers and non­believers alike will respond to the frank talk about a common dissatisfaction and the need for quenching a pervasive spiritual thirst. Fortunately, Hall is able to direct us purposefully and compassionately to the only true well.

One Tuesday Morning / Beyond Tuesday Morning Compilation Limited Edition Karen Kingsbury

Based on the tragedy of the Twin Towers…two powerful novels of heroism, loss, and redemption in a beautiful, commemorative edition.

Two books in one. One Tuesday Morning The last thing Jake Bryan knew was the sound of the World Trade Center collapsing on top of him and his fellow firefighters. The man in the hospital bed remembers nothing. Not rushing with his teammates up the stairway of the south tower to help trapped victims. Not being blasted form the building. And not the woman sitting by his bedside who says she is his wife. Jamie Bryan will do anything to help her beloved husband regain his memory. But that means helping Jake rediscover the one things Jamie has never shared with him: his deep faith in God. Beyond Tuesday Morning Determined to find meaning in her grief three years after the terrorist attacks on New York City, FDNY widow Jamie Bryan pours her life into volunteer work at a small memorial chapel across from where the Twin Towers once stood. There, unsure and feeling somehow guilty, Jamie opens herself to the possibility of love again. But, in the face of a staggering revelation, only the persistence of a tenacious man, questions from Jamie’s curious daughter, and words from her dead husband’s journal can move Jamie beyond one Tuesday morning…toward life.

Simplemente Cristiano (Simply Christian) N. T. Wright El por qué tiene sentido el cristianismo

Biblioteca Teologica Vida

Why do we expect justice? Why do we crave spirituality? Why are we attracted to beauty? Why are relationships often so painful? And how will the world be made right? These are not simply perennial questions all generations must struggle with, but, according to N. T. Wright, are the very echoes of a voice we dimly perceive but deeply long to hear. In fact, these questions take us to the heart of who God is and what He wants from us. For two thousand years, Christianity has claimed to solve these mysteries and this renowned biblical scholar and Anglican bishop shows that it still can today. Not since C. S. Lewis's classic summary of the faith, Mere Christianity has such a wise and thorough scholar taken the time to explain to anyone who wants to know what Christianity really is and how it is practiced. Wright makes the case for Christian faith from the ground up, assuming that the reader has no knowledge of (and perhaps even some aversion to) religion in general and Christianity in particular.

Maná (Manna) Kevin Stirratt El llamado a depender diariamente de Dios

A timely and hard­nosed look at whether we trust God and whether or not we're truly willing to let Him lead, let Him direct and let Him provide

These words from the Lord's Prayer are beautiful and inspiring, but truly following them can lead to a terrifying place in our spiritual journey­­the place of absolute dependence on God. It's easy to say that we depend on God for our daily necessities and ask Him to perform miracles in our lives. It's easy to read the story of the Israelites and believe that, like them, we trust God to supply us with everything we need to survive; but are we really willing to trust Him? Are we really prepared for the treacherous journey of living on manna?

Dioses Falsos (Counterfeit Gods) Timothy Keller Las huecas promesas del dinero, el sexo y el poder, y la única esperanza verdadera

A redefinition of idolatry and idols in the context of the contemporary culture, modern longings and the current way of thinking

Success, true love, and the life you've always wanted. Many of us placed our faith in these things, believing they held the key to happiness, but with a sneaking suspicion they might not deliver. The recent economic meltdown has cast a harsh new light on these pursuits. In a matter of months, fortunes, marriages, careers, and a secure retirement have disappeared for millions of people. No wonder so many of us feel lost, alone, disenchanted, and resentful. But the truth is that we made lesser gods of these good things ­gods that can't give us what we really need. There is only one God who can wholly satisfy our cravings­ and now is the perfect time to meet him again, or for the first time.

Agridulce (Bittersweet) Shauna Niequist Cuando la vida es dulce, da gracias y celebra. Cuando sea agria, da gracias y crece.

Fresh lessons about the centrality of hope, the critical role of deep community and the wonder of what God can do when pain shows up at our door

Bittersweet is the idea that in all things there is both something broken and something beautiful, that there is a moment of lightness on even the darkest of nights, a shadow of hope in every heartbreak, and that rejoicing is no less rich even when it contains a splinter of sadness. “It’s the practice of believing that we really do need both the bitter and the sweet, and that a life of nothing but sweetness rots both your teeth and your soul. Bitter is what makes us strong, what forces us to push through, what helps us earn the lines on our faces and the calluses on our hands”. Sweet is nice enough, but bittersweet is beautiful, nuanced, full of depth and complexity. Bittersweet is courageous, gutsy, audacious, earthy. Niequist, a keen observer of life with a lyrical voice, writes with the characteristic warmth and honesty of a dear friend: always engaging, sometimes challenging, but always with a kind heart. You will find Bittersweet savory reading, indeed.

The Merchant's Daughter Melanie Dickerson

Capitalizing on the popular fairy­tale retelling trend and following the success of The Healer’s Apprentice comes a retelling of Beauty and the Beast, with a Christian worldview.

Historical fiction infused with classic fairy­tale ingredients provides a fresh take on wholesome romance that has already proven popular with readers. The much­ anticipated follow­up to Melanie Dickerson’s romance novel The Healer’s Apprentice, a story loosely based on the tale of Sleeping Beauty, The Merchant’s Daughter delivers the story of Annabel, who, following the death of her wealthy merchant father, finds herself trapped in a life of indentured servitude to the supposedly beastly Lord Ranulf. Annabel has always dreamt of becoming a nun and escaping her life in the town of Gynval, but also finds herself enjoying her time with the Ranulf, who in reality is quite godly. When Ranulf’s safety and future are placed in her hands, Annabel must choose between the plans she has made and the calling God has placed on her heart. This unique retelling of the classic Beauty and the Beast story draws both Christian and mainstream readership. Riveting and rooted in Christian principles, The Merchant’s Daughter provides a satisfying reading experience appropriate for, and appealing to, teen readers and adults alike.

After an introduction to forensic sketching in an art class, Kate sketches a wanted criminal and instantly becomes a local celebrity. But when strange threats start arriving, Kate’s life becomes far from ordinary. Readers of Mangum’s past books, as well as fans of Ally Carter (Heist Society, the Gallagher Girls series) and Meg Cabot will enjoy the clean, witty, and engaging writing and the page­turning story. This is a book that girls will be passing around to their friends and that will have them coming back for more.

Black, White, Other Joan Lester In Search of Nina Armstrong

In response to a rapidly growing African American market, this book tells the story of Nina, a biracial girl who struggles to understand who she is through her black and white ancestry. Nina’s account has resonance beyond racial borders: her story of finding herself is universal.

Black, White, Other: Searching for Nina Armstrong is the young adult fiction debut of acclaimed author and scholar Jean Steinau Lester. A strong response to the desires of a diverse YA market and a rapidly growing African American teen readership, Black, White, Other introduces Nina, daughter of a black man and white woman, whose dual ancestry and struggle for identity are familiar to many young people in the United States. A rich look at race in America, Black, White, Other also serves as a powerful coming­of­age story with universal appeal. Nina is deeply affected by the fractures to her family caused by her parents’ divorce, as well as the racial tensions splintering her neighborhood in California. So she turns to the story of her great­great­grandmother’s escape from slavery, seeking wisdom and direction from her ancestor’s tale. Lester’s compelling narrative illuminates the journey from childhood to adolescence, the realities of racial tensions, the experiences of divorce, and the joys and challenges of growing up biracial. A great book club book or youth group conversation starter and a solid choice for both educational and recreational reading, Black, White, Other is a noteworthy addition to the canon of meaningful young adult literature.

An affordable softcover edition of the story behind the classic Christmas carol that is perfect as a stocking stuffer.

Introduce children to the Christian meaning behind the song “The 12 Days of Christmas” with this newly released softcover edition! Beautifully illustrated, this holiday book makes a great Christmas gift and is affordable for parents, grandparents, and teachers.

Consequently, parents refused to join the church, choosing instead to secretly teach their children with “The 12 Days of Christmas” song. Although no one knows the true story behind the beloved carol, Haidle’s meaningful descriptions remind families of the story of their faith every time they sing “The 12 Days of Christmas.”

Lose Your Cool, Revised and Expanded Edition Zach Hunter Discovering a Passion that Changes You and the World

Stories to get students fired up about finding and pursuing their passion

A re­covered and updated version of Lose Your Cool, from popular teen activist Zach Hunter, helps young people get fired up about finding and pursuing their passion. Teens today have plenty of interests and plenty to plug into, from constantly changing media trends to social networks, texts, and emails. In the face of this nonstop stimulus, Zach Hunter uses Lose Your Cool to ask his fellow teens: What consumes the bulk of your time? How do you zero in on what really matters? Are you willing to lose your cool? Zach wrote this book out of the steadfast belief that his generation is capable of great things and to share powerful inspiration from the lives of others. He reveals that accomplishing great things may require shedding conventional notions of what is cool and important in order to heat up, ignite, and stoke the flames of a deeper passion— the kind of passion that changes the world. An excellent and engaging classroom, youth group, or teen book club read, Lose Your Cool also serves as an encouraging personal gift, guide, and reminder for teens as they work toward creating and living lives that matter.
