3000 Miles to Jesus

Prayer & Spiritual Formation

“In a world filled with claims of quick fixes and easy answers, Lisa Deam offers readers a different route: the long, arduous journey of the medieval pilgrim, slowly making their way to Jerusalem. Equipped with modest provisions and robust faith, some of these pilgrims left extensive records of their journeys--their packing lists, their maps, their journals, and more. From the deep well of her study of medieval pilgrimage and her own rich life of faith, Lisa has written an accessible and winsome guide for today's pilgrims--those of us who not only long to travel to God but also desire a closer walk with God. This book is a treasure.”

A Year of Slowing Down

Bible Studies & Devotionals

“Everyone needs a voice of wisdom in their life, and for many people, one of the most trusted voices belongs to Alan Fadling. And now we can hear his voice every day! Alan's new book, A Year of Slowing Down, is a daily devotional resource that helps orient our thoughts toward God and goodness. Everything about this book—the format, the organization, the choice of words—rings with Alan's pastoral presence, which ushers us gently but firmly into God's presence. I highly recommend this grace-filled book.”

Savoring Childhood

Marriage, Family & Relationships

“In this sympathetic and approachable combination of philosophy and practicality, Grace P. Pouch makes a compelling case for keeping in step with the Spirit in raising children. Challenging but accessible and actually doable, Pouch's suggestions will be life-changing for both children and their parents. Savoring Childhood is a gift, one I wish I'd had when I was bringing up my own kids.”

Tethered to Hope

Christian Living

“For those looking for hope, too many writers offer only feel-good bromides or pretty platitudes. This book is different. Combining diligent study with practical experience, Adriel Booker tackles hard questions head-on, seeking not so much to emerge triumphant but to remind readers of God’s goodness and unfailing love. As one who has suffered greatly and wrestled mightily with her own faith, Adriel is a kind and wise guide for all who need to be reminded that their hope is not in vain.”

The Emmanuel Promise

Christian Living

“Many of us can sing the words, but we struggle to believe them: ‘Jesus loves me, this I know, for the Bible tells me so.’ We long to live in assurance of that good news, but it feels too good to be true. ln sharing her own story as well as wisdom she’s gained from years as a spiritual director, Summer Joy Gross offers both a compelling diagnosis for our spiritual disorder and a gentle but firm path toward healing. This is a book I wish I’d had years ago.”

The Good and Beautiful You

Christian Living

“With his signature combination of intellectual rigor, accessible language, and pastoral care, James Bryan Smith has helped thousands of us believe firmly in the goodness and beauty of God. But what are we to believe about ourselves? How do we fit into God's good and beautiful universe? Merging solid teaching and carefully crafted soul-training exercises, The Good and Beautiful You firmly debunks the false narratives we believe about ourselves and replaces them with life-giving, soul-enriching truth. This book is a treasure.”
