A Faith That Will Not Fail

Christian Living

“We become more like Jesus when we practice what He practiced. Michele Cushatt weaves deeply relatable stories with foundational truths of spiritual practices we can all adopt as our own. As a wise woman who threads her story into the needle of life, Michele stitches together a helpful pattern for how to live out a faith that will not fail. I highly recommend this book.”

All My Friends Have Issues

Marriage, Family & Relationships

“Need some friends but don’t know how to make them? Amanda shares how to choose them. Need to shed some unhealthy relationships? Amanda details how to let them go. Need to be a better friend? Amanda models how to safely and smartly risk for connection. In All My Friends Have Issues, Amanda Anderson becomes the friend we’ve always needed and, in the process, helps us become a better friend so we can make better friends. At last! No more nose pressed against the glass, looking in from the outside. The door is open! Come on in, grab a spot on the couch, and dive in.”

Boundaries for Your Soul

Counseling, Grief & Mental Health

“Boundaries for Your Soul spoke to me in echoes of already-known, yet-not-fully-applied truths, as well as with sweet new understandings. For both those familiar with Jesus’ inner healing and those new to the process, there is real help here. I plan to review the material often for myself, and share it with others.”

Dare Mighty Things

Women

“Halee Gray Scott is a committed Christ-follower whose passion is that all humans—especially women—live out their influence. She models a life that dares mighty things and inspires others to take up the challenge for themselves.”

Half the Church

Women

“In Half the Church, Carolyn Custis James offers a striking theology as to why men and women are called to live and lead together. Her insightful, integrated and unapologetic plea leaves us with no option but to get on with it ... all of us ... men and women together urgently working for God's best in this world.”

Have More Fun

Christian Living

“I don’t want to get to the end of my life and realize that the best thing about me was that I was really good at keeping up with my email.” Yikes. She totally got me. Right. Where. I. Live. I’m great at emails and less great at fun. Okay, I’m not terrible at having fun. But here in Mandy’s honest, inviting, winsome, and playful style I see what I haven’t before. Beyond playing with grandkids. Beyond entertaining audiences. Beyond my hobby of reading or walking my dogs. A divine version of life-giving fun is waiting for me in the here and now of my everyday. And I’m going to embrace it.”

Hungry for God

Christian Living

“In Hungry for God , Margaret Feinberg whets our appetites for the full feast God has prepared for us. Pull up a chair, pick up a fork, and dive in!”

I Am

Women

“With an honest, compelling, and fun voice, Michele Cushatt invites us into a thorough understanding of who God has made and called us to be. This sixty-day read can make a difference of us, whether we’re sixteen or sixty years old. Come and see yourself as God sees you!”

Leading from Your Gut

Work, Money & Leadership

“In Leading from Your Gut, John Townsend builds on the vital leadership ingredients of smarts and vision and the ability to motivate others with the more intangible quality of “gut,” which is essential to actually accomplishing change that lasts. Hands down, my new favorite leadership book.”

Marriage in the Middle

Marriage, Family & Relationships

“Wise. Honest. Insightful. Helpful. These are just some of the descriptors that emerged as I read Dorothy Greco's Marriage in the Middle. With over forty years of marriage racked up myself, I can testify that this book casts a clear and hopeful vision for marriage in the second half of life. Read it and run into the future of your marriage!”

Not the Boss of Us

Marriage, Family & Relationships

“I’ve learned to trust Kay Wyma in matters of family—and life. . . . In Not the Boss of Us she shoves the overwhelming threats around us back into the shadows and allows us to embrace the freedom for which Christ set us free.”

Road to Flourishing

Work, Money & Leadership

“One of the greatest privileges of my life was my twenty-year tenure as president and CEO of MOPS International. I arrived in the role as an inexperienced thirty-four-year-old and learned as I led. Along the way I met Al Lopus and began to benefit from his workplace discoveries. In his book, Road to Flourishing, Al lays out the core principles for leaders of any age and any length of experience to develop flourishing organizations and workplaces. I'm so grateful for his clear and helpful guidance!”

Secrets of Dynamic Communications

Work, Money & Leadership

“How can a fantastic book get even better? When Ken Davis applies his well-honed approach to communication to an already-best seller, words pop—ideas emerge—focus wins! Most people are terrified of speaking in public, whether to a small group, in a business setting or at church. No more! Pick up this book, follow Ken through the pages and come out on the other side with clarity and confidence that you can speak with purpose in the various arenas of your life.”

So Worth Loving

Christian Living

“Reading So Worth Loving is like taking a plunge off a cliff into a clear waterfall of honesty, healing, and hope. Eryn Eddy grabs you by the hand, leans her head in, and, with a joyous twinkle, dares you to jump—with her going first. When you rise to the surface, you’ll gulp the fresh air of discovery. There you are! And there is the one true God who knows you through and through, loves you just the way you are, and assures you that there’s nothing you can do about it. Indeed, you are so worth loving!”

Starry-Eyed

Marriage, Family & Relationships

“Between the blaring, always-on-duty world of mothering and our woman’s wistful yearning for personal time and space, Mandy Arioto wedges a place for us to be. Courageous. Ever honest. Present. Here is a lovely read that weaves hope in our here. I found myself bobbing along after Mandy’s musings, chasing her like a child after a firefly through inky nights, eager to capture her discoveries as my own. Dark. Light. Mandy convinces us that God uses everything to shape us into who we always wanted to be.”

Take Every Thought Captive

Christian Living

“Battle Ready is a field manual for the mind. If you desire to think more like Christ, its truths, stories, personal applications, and discoveries will undoubtedly lead you to renewed places of peace, hope, and life.”

The Fantasy Fallacy

Counseling, Grief & Mental Health

“Fantasy is tricky stuff—so tricky that it is seldom addressed. Shannon’s approach is compassionate and compelling and, therefore, helpful. I’m impressed with her speedy and thorough response to this topic.”

The Grumble-Free Year

Marriage, Family & Relationships

“I’ve never thought much about grumbling, nor invested much energy in an alternative approach to the daily frustrations that underlie the habit. That is, until Tricia Goyer splayed out her own challenge with grumbling in these pages. Now I’m both noticing my mumbling, bumbling grumblings and I’m learning to back up and start again in a more positive direction. Thanks Tricia—and all you brave Goyers!”

The Jesus I Never Knew

Christian Living

“Philip Yancey takes the reader with him on his very personal journey to Jesus. In The Jesus I Never Knew , I became convinced that the Jesus I met--in some ways for the first time--has known me all along. This book is destined to become a favorite--to recommend to those still seeking Jesus and to pass along to those who've met him, but long to know him more.”
