The 10 Best Decisions a Single Mom Can Make
Marriage, Family & Relationships
“I came from a single-parent home, and I saw firsthand how much my mom sacrificed to give me and my four siblings a sense of security and stability. I’m thankful for the love she gave our family, but I wish she’d had a guide like The 10 Best Decisions a Single Mom Can Make to help her on the journey. This book is filled with wisdom and practical insights that will bring encouragement to single moms as they raise their children in the fear and admonition of the Lord.”
Men
“There are lot of mixed messages in our society about masculinity—what it is, what it should be, what it shouldn't be, and even whether it's really 'a thing.' God designed men to be masculine in the best sense of the word. That requires harnessing our natural impulses and letting Him direct those traits toward the full, thriving manhood that He intends for all of us. This book is a great starting point.”
Children & Youth
“So often, our kids hear individual stories from the Bible without fully understanding how these accounts are tied to the ‘biggest story’ of Christ’s ultimate victory over sin. Kevin DeYoung has linked together the Bible stories that are familiar to children into one, enthralling volume. From the first page to the last, kids will come to understand why Jesus’ death, resurrection, and ascension are truly at the center of all of history.”
The Biggest Story Curriculum, Easter Lessons
Church Leadership & Ministry
“Is there any greater joy—or responsibility—than sharing the gospel with children and guiding them through the biblical narrative? Toward that all-important end, The Biggest Story Curriculum is sure to serve as a wonderful resource for parents and churches. Through this collection of thought-provoking lessons with beautiful artwork, engaging activities, and digital supplements, little ones will be led to delight in the wonder of Scripture’s narrative and to embrace the gospel’s life-changing truth.”
Church Leadership & Ministry
“Dr. Al Mohler has written a book that shakes us up and challenges our thinking. The Conviction to Lead is poised to become one of the all-time classic works on Christian leadership.”
Christian Living
“Dr. John Townsend has written a helpful and encouraging book to help us deal with the issue of entitlement, whether we see it in others or in ourselves. Overcoming this mindset isn’t easy. It requires discipline, honesty, and responsibility. That’s the hard way, but it’s the only way worth taking.”
Marriage, Family & Relationships
“When couples hit a rough patch in their marriage, the tendency for most is to seek better ways of behaving and performing in order to improve the relationship. The problem, of course, is that outward behavior doesn't always reflect the true state of our hearts! In their new book, Brad and Marilyn Rhoads have extended a gospel-oriented approach to marriage that is rooted in the kind of love and grace Christ holds out to us.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“The Lamb’s Agenda is a clarion call for Christians to embrace truth and grace in equal measure. Sam Rodriguez believes that if we can get the balance right, America may be on the cusp of a Third Great Awakening. I pray it will be so!”
Christian Living
“Legacy isn’t what we leave behind, but what we set in motion.’ In a me-centered culture, where faith and family take a back seat to financial success and notoriety, this provocative idea changes everything. If you’re interested in passing down more than money, not just for your kids but for generations to come, this is the book for you. The powerful, true stories will inspire and empower you to identify and exemplify your mission and values. It’s never too late to play your part in God’s redemptive story!”
Christian Living
“When we run into the inevitable ‘bumps and bruises’ in our relationships, what do we do? Do we assert our rights and try to convince others why and how we’ve been wronged—or do we turn to God’s Word for guidance? In this wise and down-to-earth book, Brian Noble lays out a Christ-centered framework for effectively working through conflict and, ultimately, experiencing true peace with those around us.”
Marriage, Family & Relationships
“Gary Thomas has logged a lot of miles working with young men and women as they navigate the often difficult path to marriage in the twenty-first century. The Sacred Search will help those who desire marriage to pursue it in a manner that deepens their faith, honors God, and blesses their future spouses.”
Marriage, Family & Relationships
“At Focus on the Family, we routinely hear from fathers facing the challenges associated with remarriage and living in a blended family. The Smart Stepdad is like a lifeline to these men—and to their wives, as well—with practical advice and biblical counsel.”
“It’s amazing what you can learn from a crime scene. In this new book by J. Warner Wallace, you’ll discover what a routine police investigation can reveal about human nature, the meaning of life, and our need for a Savior.”
Christian Living
“In a culture that has become largely hostile to biblical principles and long-cherished moral values, it can be challenging to know how we, as believers, are to conduct ourselves. That's why I'm so thankful that Joe Stowell has offered us a scriptural prescription for venturing into an increasingly dark society holding out the love and truth of Christ.”
Christian Living
“Dr. Jeff Myers has a unique gift for communicating the universal, unchanging Truth of the gospel. This insightful book shows the importance of biblical Truth, traces many under-appreciated ways in which Christians throughout history have impacted the world by living out that Truth, and gives practical advice for influencing our neighbors with the Truth that sets us free.”
What Great Ministry Leaders Get Right
Church Leadership & Ministry
“Anyone in leadership learns quickly that people are usually eager to identify what you're doing wrong. Compliments are harder to come by; solid, time-tested advice for what works best is rarer still. Whether you've been leading for years or are just starting out, you'll find treasures of wisdom in these pages that will strengthen your ministry and help you serve better.”
Christian Living
“No matter who you are, at some point you’ll encounter a situation where God’s plan just doesn’t seem to add up. Those are difficult times, and they can truly test your faith. What matters is how you respond. Larry Crabb understands, and he provides practical insights to help us identify and choose the way forward.”
Christian Living
“Grace and forgiveness are critical components of the Christian life. But the Bible also offers instruction for those times and situations when we encounter people who are so destructive—to individuals and to the work of God’s kingdom—that our wisest course of action is to just “walk away.” Gary Thomas offers solid, biblical counsel for those who are grappling with the destructive influence of a toxic person.”

Marriage, Family & Relationships
“What if instead of sermonizing, criticizing, or controlling, we listened, let go, and built warm connections with our adult kids? Jim shows us what it takes to win (or win back) the hearts of our challenging children.”
