When You, Then God

11,99 $

When you jump, will God catch you?
Daring to trust God: It feels like a huge risk. When you take a leap of faith, big or small, you have to believe that God cares enough to be there-even though you can’t see where you’re going to land.

He promises over and over again-in the Old Testament, in the life of Jesus, and in countless biblical stories and psalms-that when you trust him, then you can absolutely, without fail, count on him to respond. But how do you know what God wants you to do? When you do it, what can you expect in return?

In this provocative new book, pastor and debut author Rusty George reveals the answers found in seven core promises of God-and the key that unlocks them.

When You, Then God is a bold, dynamic invitation for you to take God at his word, experience the empowering freedom of his love, and accept his great invitation to partner with him.

The Lifegiving Home

12,99 $

How to make home your family’s favorite place to be . . . all year long.
Does your home sometimes feel like just a place to eat, sleep, and change clothes on the way to the next activity? Do you long for "home" to mean more than a place where you stash your stuff? Wouldn’t you love it to become a haven of warmth, rest, and joy . . . the one place where you and your family can’t wait to be?

There is good news waiting for you in the pages of The Lifegiving Home. Every day of your family’s life can be as special and important to you as it already is to God. In this unique book designed to help your family enjoy and celebrate every month of the year together, you’ll discover the secrets of a life-giving home from a mother who created one and her daughter who was raised in it: popular authors Sally and Sarah Clarkson. Together they offer a rich treasure of wise advice, spiritual principles, and practical suggestions. You’ll embark on a new path to creating special memories for your children; establishing home-building and God-centered traditions; and cultivating an environment in which your family will flourish. (Don’t miss the companion piece, The Lifegiving Home Experience.)

Still Waiting

9,99 $

What if God wants you to wait?
Most of us know what it’s like to wait for God to change our circumstances. But, whether we’re waiting for physical healing, emotional breakthrough, or better relationships, waiting is something we usually try to avoid. Why? Because waiting is painful and hard. The truth is, it’s also inevitable.

In Still Waiting, Ann Swindell explores the depths of why God wants us to wait by chronicling her own compelling story of waiting for healing from an incurable condition. She offers a vibrant retelling of the biblical account of the Bleeding Woman that parallels her story-and yours, too.

Let Ann help you see the promise that is hidden in the ache of waiting and the hope of what God can-and will-do as you wait on him.

Waking Up Slowly

10,99 $

From the flap:
For the threescore years and some change that I have been on this planet, I have operated like the George Harrison lyric, "If you don’t know where you’re going, any road will take you there." Of course, I have a daily to-do list. But every morning I wake up and basically let daily circumstances affect my mood, my productivity, and my happiness. I suspect I am not alone.

If only I took my cue from my rescued Labrador friend, Maggie, who can capture a playful moment at the drop of a hat-er, toy. Just now, Maggie walked through the room, spotted her red, oversize squeaky bone, leapt through the air to grab it, and started a game. That is living in the moment.

Maggie’s ability to live fully and joyfully in the moment amuses and even inspires me. The sad reality is that I dismiss my canine friend’s talent to enjoy each moment. I rationalize her skill as entirely due to a lack of a calendar, a smartphone, and a spouse or significant other.

But is that true? Is my slavish addiction to performance, attention, and (gasp) devices robbing me of the joy, smiles, kindness, and affirmation that my heavenly Father desires for me-and for all of us-to enjoy each day?

We live in the most connected culture in the history of the world, but it’s arguably the most disconnected from God and one another. So today I embark on a journey to intentionally live more fully in the moment and to be more connected to God, others, and myself.

Is this goal even possible to achieve? Can a very old dog learn a pretty radical new trick to live more consistently in the moment?

The Francis Schaeffer Collection: True Spirituality / He Is There and He Is Not Silent

16,99 $

This collection bundles two of popular author Francis A. Schaeffer’s spirituality classics into one e-book for a great value!

True Spirituality
Francis Shaeffer had been serving as a pastor for over a decade when he began to wonder if Christianity really made a difference in people’s lives. True Spirituality, a twentieth-century spiritual classic, outlines the result of his effort to "start at the beginning" and re-examine his faith. The book is a treasure trove of wisdom for Christians trying to discover what true spirituality looks like in everyday life. Includes a foreword by Chuck Colson and an introduction by Dr. Jerram Barrs, director of the Schaeffer Institute.

He Is There and He Is Not Silent
In He Is There and He Is Not Silent, Francis Schaeffer-philosopher, popular speaker, and founder of L’Abri Fellowship in the Swiss Alps-addresses some of the most perplexing questions to believers and unbelievers alike:

Does God exist?
Does it make sense to believe in God?
Can we ever know God?

During his life, Francis Schaeffer welcomed questioners and doubters from all walks of life to L’Abri Fellowship. For Schaeffer, Christianity expressed the ultimate truth. That is why he never shunned doubts and questions by honest seekers. He knew the truths in the Bible would always prove themselves when they were thoroughly investigated by an open mind and heart.

From the intriguing, late-night discussions at L’Abri came a series of compelling books from Francis Schaeffer-The God Who Is There, Escape from Reason, True Spirituality, and this classic book every Christian should own, He Is There and He Is Not Silent.

From Tablet to Table

10,99 $

Worship Leader magazine has named From Tablet to Table one of the five best books of 2015!
What if the Bible were seen less as a tablet of ink than as a table of food? From Tablet to Table invites readers to explore the importance of The Table in biblical theology, and what it might mean for us to bring back the table to our homes, our churches, and our neighborhoods. The table pictures the grace of God’s provision for all aspects of our lives, a place of safe gathering, of finding identity in shared stories, of imparting food and faith, of playing host and finding satisfaction as a guest. Sweet explores how our failure to understand and appreciate "the most sacred item of furniture in every home" has created such a deficit in our fast-food, take-what-you-like-smorgasbord, together-but-separate society.

God Took Me by the Hand

Jerry Bridges’ life is a remarkable story of God’s providence.
