'Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me.' This ancient
prayer has been known and loved by generations of Christians for
hundreds of years. It is a way of entering into the river of prayer
which flows from the heart of God: the prayer of God himself, as
Jesus continually prays for his people and for the world he loves.

Feeling like you've blown it? Reached the point of no return? That
your life hasn't gone as planned? If so, you are not alone. We all
know what it feels like to have life disappoint us and not work out
as we'd hoped. We all know what it's like to long for something
different, something better, and something more. Drawing on his own
experiences and pivotal Bible stories, author Louie Giglio shows
how God is all about comebacks. Samson had blown it repeatedly;
nevertheless, he experiences tremendous triumph at the end of his
life. The prodigal son, as Jesus describes him, returns home in
disgrace only to be welcomed by his father with open arms-no
questions asked. The list goes on: Joseph, Moses and Peter all
experienced comebacks. Jesus himself performed the greatest
comeback of all by rising from the dead. God is in the business of
giving fresh starts to people. He gives hope to the hopeless.
Direction to the directionless. Help to those who need help. God is
always good, all the time, and His plans will always prevail, even
when our plans don't. He already knows what the solutions are. No
matter what kind of disappointment or grief or pain or trouble or
heartache we encounter, God always offers a new beginning, a change
of heart, and a powerful spiritual turnaround. God offers the way
forward, and his pathways are always good. This six-session video
study (DVD/digital video sold separately) proves God can use our
mess and still make a masterpiece-and that our current
circumstances will not get the final say in our lives. Sessions
include: A Deeper Kind of Comeback Story Paradise in a Garbage Dump
When Dreams Are Dashed Never Too Late Get Up Jesus Is Enough
Designed for use with The Comeback Video Study (sold separately).
Declining church attendance. A growing feeling of betrayal. For
Christians who have begun to feel set adrift and disillusioned by
their churches, Where Goodness Still Grows grounds us in a new view
of virtue deeply rooted in a return to Jesus Christ's life and
ministry. The evangelical church in America has reached a
crossroads. Social media and recent political events have exposed
the fault lines that exist within our country and our spiritual
communities. Millennials are leaving the church, citing hypocrisy,
partisanship, and unkindness as reasons they can't stay. In this
book Amy Peterson explores the corruption and blind spots of the
evangelical church and the departure of so many from the faith -
but she refuses to give up hope, believing that rescue is on the
way. Where Goodness Still Grows: Dissects the moral code of
American evangelicalism Reimagines virtue as a tool, not a weapon
Explores the Biblical meaning of specific virtues like kindness,
purity, and modesty Provides comfort, hope, and a path towards
spiritual restoration Amy writes as someone intimately familiar
with, fond of, and deeply critical of the world of conservative
evangelicalism. She writes as a woman and a mother, as someone
invested in the future of humanity, and as someone who just needs
to know how to teach her kids what it means to be good. Amy finds
that if we listen harder and farther, we will find the places where
goodness still grows. Praise for Where Goodness Still Grows: "In
this poignant, honest book, Amy Peterson confronts her
disappointment with the evangelical leaders who handed her The Book
of Virtues then happily ignored them for the sake of political
power. But instead of just walking away, Peterson rewrites the
script, giving us an alternative book of virtues needed in this
moment. And it's no mistake that it ends with hope." - James K. A.
Smith, author of You Are What You Love
