paperbackBreaking the Idols of Your Heart
How to Navigate the Temptations of Life
by Dan B. Allender and Tremper Longman III
We all want to know our lives matter. So did the Teacher in Ecclesiastes. He invested time and energy in every activity he could think of that might bring meaning and purpose to his life but found only disappointment, frustration, hopelessness. In our thirst for significance we, like the Teacher, give our lives--our time, talents, strength, heart--to anything we think will give us worth and purpose: ...

paperbackThe Folly of Prayer
Practicing the Presence and Absence of God
by Matt Woodley
Prayer can feel mysteriously difficult, boringly perfunctory and frustratingly out of our control. Often prayer brings us comfort, but sometimes, especially when there aren?t easy resolutions or prayers go unanswered, it intensifies and focuses our sense of longing, pain and care. And often God uses our times of darkness and desperation to awaken our hearts to the ache within us--and the cries of ...

Learning from the Spiritual Practices of Jonathan Edwards
by Kyle C. Strobel
Jesus said we should focus our minds and hearts on God above all else. No small task! Is there someone we can turn to for help? "Wisdom tells us to sit at the feet of our elders rather than the latest ministry fad," notes author Kyle Strobel. And is there a better elder to guide us than Jonathan Edwards? In Edwards, the eighteenth-century Puritan pastor and theologian, we find deep thought balanced ...

paperbackCat & Dog Theology
Rethinking Our Relationship with Our Master
by Bob Sjogren and Gerald Robison
The God-given traits of cats ("you exist to serve me") and dogs ("I exist to serve you") are often similar to certain theological attitudes held by many Christians in their view of God and their relationship to him. Using the differences between cats and dogs in a light-hearted manner, the authors challenge this thinking in deep and profound ways. This life-changing book will provide a new perspective ...

paperbackDead Church Walking
Giving Life to the Church That Is Dying to Survive
by Jimmy Dorrell
Most everyone recognizes that the traditional Western way of doing church is in deep trouble and has been struggling for years to survive. While the successful rise of some new, non-traditional churches often take the sting out of the demise of the average church, the truth is that God still can renew congregations that have a rich history but are struggling to adjust in today's postmodern culture. ...

paperbackNo Argument for God
Going Beyond Reason in Conversations About Faith
by John Wilkinson
Religion is irrational! New atheists trumpet the claim loudly, so much so that it's become a sort of conventional wisdom. Professing your faith in God sounds increasingly like a confession of intellectual feebleness. Belief in God sounds as cute and quaint as it does pointless. John Wilkinson contends that the irrationality of faith is its greatest asset, because rationalism itself sets artificial ...

paperbackCat & Dog Prayer
Rethinking Our Conversations with Our Master
by Bob Sjogren and Gerald Robison
Cats and dogs respond differently to their masters's care. While the dog thinks "You must be God!" the cat thinks "I must be God!" When we first become believers, we still have a natural tendency to be self-centered, especially in how we pray. As a result, many Christians prayers that are more of a laundry list of "all about me" requests. Because God doesn't answer these kinds of prayer, we tend ...
