The human soul has a built-in yearning for joy and beauty and all good things. But that craving for life has taken a real beating in recent years. Between false promises of ease and comfort on one side and the sheer trauma of global disease and disasters on the other, people today are facing a shortage of peace, happiness, and strength.
In Resilient, Eldredge provides skills and tools to strengthen your heart and soul--and reveals a path toward genuine recovery and resilience provided by Jesus himself. Drawing on wisdom from Scripture and Christian tradition, and illustrated throughout with powerful, true stories of grit and survival.
Resilient will help readers:
- Recover from the trauma of the COVID-19 pandemic
- Tap into "supernatural graces" like the river of life that God promises his people
- Learn to be patient with themselves--genuine recovery from spiritual and emotional trauma takes time and intentionality
- Create a plan, because resilience and victory aren't going to come with a swipe on your home screen
- Discover deep wells of freedom and strength through Christ who lives within us
Thriving requires a resilient soul. This book will help readers find the resilience they need when the world has gone mad--and discover in Jesus himself the strength that prevails.
What happens when prophets are wrong?
In 2020, many Christians claiming to be prophets said that God told them that Donald Trump would be re-elected as president, which did not happen. What happens when prophets get it wrong? Are there consequences for misleading God's people?
In recent years, gross misjudgments among Charismatic Christians claiming to speak for God and moral failures within Evangelicalism have resulted in a crisis of belief. In Prophetic Integrity, bestselling author and speaker, R.T. Kendall gives a warning to those speaking in God's name and offers a way forward in trusting God despite the failures of the church.
Includes:
- Personal accounts of visions and supernatural experiences
- Good, bad, and ugly examples of modern-day prophecy
- Seven levels of prophetic gifting
- Examples of false teachings within open theism
- Relevant Bible verses and meaningful quotes
- Thought-provoking questions
- A call for honesty, vulnerability, and repentance
Prophetic Integrity is a book for those who believe that God still speaks today but have serious questions about those within the church that identify as prophets.
Sometimes the big and small decisions in life seem overwhelming. How do you know what choices to make about your career, kids, and relationships? Even when you make good decisions, how do you avoid temptation along the way?
In this in-depth look at the book of James, Dr. David Jeremiah offers stories and biblical insights about what to do:
- When you’re feeling pressured
- When wrong seems right
- When you don’t know what decision to make
- When faith doesn’t seem to work
- When you’re not feeling confident
- When your goals are not God’s
- When you’re in a hurry and God is not
- When you have financial struggles
- When you face difficult times
In What To Do When You Don’t Know What To Do, renowned Bible teacher Dr. David Jeremiah walks you through the book of James to glean God’s wisdom on issues such as finances, faith, and decision making. What does it look like to consider God in all of your plans, depend on God rather than wealth, and put prayer above your personal efforts? Learn how to receive God’s supernatural strength to meet the challenges you face. As James learned, the road of spiritual wisdom always leads to joy.
Adapted from their book True Beauty, mother/daughter authors Carolyn Mahaney and Nicole Whitacre expose the lies of our culture-defined sense of beauty.
God's Word provides us with a path to freedom when we look to the source, the Beautiful One who is eternal. We reject conformity with the world's standards to be transformed Christ-like character.
Uses the ESV Bible translation in Scripture references. Pack of 25 tracts (pamphlets).

Exodus is the Rosetta stone for unlocking the Old Testament and the
thread of redemption throughout Scripture. The exodus served as the
primary model of God’s idea of redemption, not just in the Old
Testament but even in the New, where it is used as one of the keys to
understanding the meaning of the cross of Christ. Over six sessions,
participants in this Bible study will walk through the first 15
chapters of Exodus. You’ll relive the experience as God hears the cries
of His people and responds by sending a deliverer, ultimately giving us
a pattern for recognizing His work in the world. (6 sessions)
Session Topics:
• Problem
• Deliverer
• Discouragement
• Deliverance
• Redemption
• Worship
