    Recalibrate Your Life

    Navigating Transitions with Purpose and Hope

    by Kenneth Boa and Jenny Abel

    As we make our way through life, we find ourselves in times of transition where we need to reassess who we are and what we do.

    Living well doesn't happen automatically for followers of Christ—it happens when we have planned ahead by reviewing and recalibrating our lives on a regular basis, and when we transition from one stage of life to the next. Times of transition, especially ...

    Learning to Live the Life You Long For

    In Jeremiah 12:5 God says to the prophet, "If you're worn out in this footrace with men, what makes you think you can race against horses?"

    We all long to live life at its best—to fuse freedom and spontaneity with purpose and meaning. Why then do we often find our lives so humdrum, so unadventuresome, so routine? Or else so frantic, ...

    by Ruth Haley Barton

    Academy of Parish Clergy Top Ten List

    "Come away and rest awhile."

    Life in the Presence of God

    Practices for Living in Light of Eternity

    by Kenneth Boa

    • 2018 IVP Readers' Choice Award

    God is everywhere and always with us. So why don't we experience his presence more? Life is full of distractions, and our 24/7 news cycles and social media drown out the voice of God. It's hard to discern God's presence amid the hubbub. But experiencing God is not just for the super-spiritual or ultra-mature. Every Christian can ...

    Stewards in the Kingdom

    A Theology of Life in All Its Fullness

Here we have a full and fresh picture of being Jesus' disciples and living life in all its fullness. R. Scott Rodin unpacks what it means for us to be stewards in the kingdom of the triune God of grace. This theology of ...

    Tending Our Grief Through Spiritual Practices

    by Terra McDaniel

    We need to rediscover lament to heal and hope again.

    We've lost the practice of lament. Most people don't know how to process personal or communal mourning and instead struggle to honor their tears, vulnerability, and the full weight of these disillusioning times. But tending our grief might be exactly what we need to reimagine a way forward.

    Remember Me

    A Novella about Finding Our Way to the Cross

    by Sharon Garlough Brown

    "'It is finished,' Jesus says. It's a bold declaration for us to make too. What does it mean to say 'It is finished' when so much is unfinished? It means we are people who live hope in two directions, both backward and forward. We long for the kingdom to come in fullness, even as it has already come. And we trust that the One who has begun the good work in us and for us will indeed ...
