We all long to know God’s personal will for our lives. While we know God’s general guidance for our lives, we also want to discover how God is specifically calling us.

In this guide, seasoned author Trevor Hudson provides practical ways in which you can discern God’s personal will for your own journey through life. As you practice these “discernment exercises”, your relationship with God will become a dynamic adventure of faith.

Pastor and beloved author Tyler Staton shares a personal and profound creative devotional to draw us deeper into God's truth and beauty.

After his shocking Stage 4 cancer diagnosis, pastor and author Tyler Staton found himself cast into a wilderness of emotion. Amid the struggle, he found strength in the familiar solaces of prayer, contemplation, and Scripture, but also through an unexpected source-writing carefully crafted poetry. Even after going into remission, this practice awakened a new appreciation in Tyler for how God uses beauty to draw us powerfully to himself.

After Amen contains inspiring chapters on the role of creativity and beauty in the Christian life, as well as a core of 50 entries which feature biblical reflection, heartfelt prayer, and a short original poem from Tyler. Focusing on Jesus's seven signs in the gospel of John, readers will encounter their own lives with new appreciation and inspired insight, as Tyler shows how all of life, joy and suffering, is an opportunity to be formed more completely in the image of Jesus.

This exceptional book is an inspiring, provocative, and beautiful exploration of how much of our spiritual life truly happens not only with what we say during prayer, but what we live After Amen.

With the demands and distractions of life, it doesn’t take long for worry and doubt to threaten your peace, overwhelm your mind, and steal your joy. The God of the universe hears your needs and longs for a personal relationship with you. All you have to do is listen and pray.

Prayers to Strengthen Your Soul will refresh and guide your prayer life with daily Scripture-based prayers and thought-provoking questions to help you.

In Surprised by Hope, Tom Wright transformed how millions understood life after death - showing that authentic Christian hope isn't about "going to heaven," but about "heaven coming to earth" in the new creation. Now, in God's Homecoming, world renowned theologian Tom Wright takes this vision a step further.

Through a powerful exploration of Paul's letters and the Hebrew prophets, he reveals that Biblical hope is not limited to individual salvation, but the renewal and reconciliation of all creation. At the heart of this hope is the promise that the Creator God will return to dwell among His people, filling the whole world with His glorious, healing presence.

Wright's in-depth reading of Scripture reframes our understanding of grace, showing that Christianity is not about escaping the world but about God's initiative to restore it. When we stop asking, "How can I get to Heaven?" and instead grasp God's desire to come and dwell with us, in us, and through us, we rediscover the true depth of the Gospel: a story suffused with love, renewal, and divine purpose.

A profound follow-up to Surprised by Hope, God's Homecoming is essential reading for anyone interested in Christian theology, Biblical studies, the afterlife, and the hope of resurrection.

Many of us yearn for “success” – a longing driven by a materialistic and comparison-rife world. How to be (un)successful: An Unlikely Guide to Human Flourishing offers the perfect antidote to the world’s skewed view of success by asking you to have an in-depth look at how you live.

It challenges you to relook at your longings and dreams, choose God’s plan for you instead of your own good ideas, vote for relationships over relevance and focus on depth over meaningless noise. You are invited to find inspiration in Jesus’ life and teachings.

He is calling you to experience the success that can truly satisfy your soul. Choosing to truly follow Jesus might just be the most (un)successful thing you have ever done in your life.

• Provides an answer to the soul-searching question: ""What do you have to show for your life?''

This ground-breaking resource challenges and equips Christians to think and act biblically and compassionately in matters of sexuality.

Sexual abuse, sex addiction, gender confusion, brokenness, and shame plague today’s world, and people are seeking clarity and hope. By contesting long-held cultural paradigms, this book equips you to see how sexuality is rooted in the broader context of God’s heart and His work for us on earth. It provides a framework from which to understand the big picture of sexual challenges and wholeness, and helps you recognize that every sexual question is ultimately a spiritual one. It shifts the paradigm from combating sexual problems to confidently proclaiming and modeling the road to sacred sexuality.

Instead of arguing with the world about what’s right and wrong about sexual choices, this practical resource equips you to share the love and grace of Jesus as you encounter the pain of sexual brokenness–your own or someone else’s.

Why is it so difficult to find the perfect partner? Is God preventing me from finding that special someone for a reason? Is there something wrong with me? Will I ever meet someone—or am I going to remain single forever?

Perhaps as a Christian single, you’ve asked yourself some or all of these questions—and you’re not alone. The good news is that God has a plan for you.

Author David Brühlmann tackles these questions head-on in his honest, heartfelt book, Single for a Season. Through his own challenges as well as the stories of twelve other Christian singles, Brühlmann reveals profound insights so that you may find peace, inspiration, and meaning during this season of your life.

Single doesn’t need to be lonely. Instead of wasting time on what-ifs and should’ve-beens, Single for a Season will help you:

• Dispel myths about the single life—and why you’re still single
• Experience true joy, satisfaction, and contentment in being single
• Find your God-given purpose as a single
• Deepen your relationship with Him
• Take key action steps to change your life right now

By demonstrating how living as a Christian single not only builds up God’s kingdom but also leads to a life of satisfaction and purpose, you’ll discover a new passion for your life, regardless of relationship status. Single for a Season will help you make the shift from the impatience and anxiety that comes from waiting for Mr. or Mrs. Right, to living a life filled with purpose and passion.

From step-by-step exercises and real-life stories that help you implement the concepts presented, to additional resources and insightful questions to consider, this is the perfect book for any single wanting to live a fulfilling life—or for your next Bible study. Start your journey today and make this time one of the most exciting, meaningful seasons of your life.

Are your thoughts holding you captive? I’ll never be good enough. Other people have better lives than I do. God couldn’t really love me. Jennie Allen knows what it’s like to swirl in a spiral of destructive thoughts, but she also knows we don’t have to stay stuck in toxic thinking patterns.

As she discovered in her own life, God built a way for us to escape that downward spiral. Freedom comes when we refuse to be victims to our thoughts and realize we have already been equipped with power from God to fight and win the war for our minds.

In Get Out of Your Head, Jennie inspires and equips us to transform our emotions, our outlook, and even our circumstances by taking control of our thoughts. Our enemy is determined to get in our heads to make us feel helpless, overwhelmed, and incapable of making a difference for the kingdom of God. But when we submit our minds to Christ, the promises and goodness of God flood our lives in remarkable ways.

It starts in your head. And from there, the possibilities are endless.

Kaiings wil sê: Waarheid en wysheid is twee karperde wat weet dat dit in die ritme van lewe nie altyd klopdisselboom gaan nie. Mens word ontnugter deur die feit dat waarheid dikwels verpak is in kaiings van twyfel, sinisme, valsheid en oppervlakkigheid. Selfs Pilatus het gesukkel terwyl die Sanhedrin hom woedend aangluur: Wat is waarheid?

Die media beweeg dikwels tussen feit en sensasie. Waarheid word omhul deur skyn en die teendeel van feitelikheid, naamlik bedrog en leuens. Die media laat mens twyfel. So ook is wysheid meestal ‘n masker vir dwaasheid en eie gewin. Veral in publieke kommunikasie en politieke debatte. Ook die waarheid van die Christelike geloof word maklik verpak in kerspapier van kerklike formules en sinodeverslae oor hoe om geloof suiwer te hou en van dwaling te bevry.

Ongelukkig kan geloofsbelydenisse ook met behulp van die kulkuns van interpretasie en kultuurparadigmas, met hermeneutiese ‘spekskiet’ verpak word.

Die titel wil sê: Die waarheid van kaiings braai uit en kierankies vorm harde kastaiings wat niemand weet hoe om uit die vuur te krap nie. Selfs die harde neut van hoe om oor God op outentieke wyse na te dink proe, na baie eeue van ortodoksie, effe galsterig.

Hierdie boek waag nie met definisies oor die wat van geloof en die sin van die lewe nie, maar karring voort oor die hoe van geloof: Om met blomkoolore te skrum (volharding), met derms te geniet (God se vrolike ruil) en empatie te luister (barmhartigheid).

Om weer sinvol te lees en te leef, in bliksemgedagtes met dood te moet worstel en te voorkom dat ek as pastor bloot as ‘n hoëpriester met aparte pyn gebrandmerk word, moet ek soms van Weskus bokkom-spraak, asook van tinktinkietaal en mossiegetjirp gebruikmaak!

I Surrender All - Inspired by the themes of the feature film, The Forge

All To Him I Freely Give

From Priscilla Shirer comes this fervent appeal and invitation to surrender everything to Jesus. To follow Him not just as your Savior but as your priority, your first love, your Lord. To move beyond being a believer to becoming His disciple.

Because there is a difference.

Salvation is a gift of God. It’s free. It’s grace. It’s the cross. Discipleship comes at a high cost. It’s surrender. It’s effort. It’s a daily choice to lay down your life and follow His. Few believers choose this route, but the ones who do will experience the abundance that only the surrendered life can offer. It’s the one choice standing between you and the life of freedom and fulfillment, of peace and purpose you’ve always wanted. I Surrender All is all about making that choice.

The choice that changes everything.

This book will be impossible to simply read because it beckons you to make a decision about the kind of Christian you will be. Prepare to engage, to write, to pray, and be called into a surrendered life. An abundant life. A disciple’s life.

In ’n wêreld wat nooit ophou verander nie, moet suksesvolle leiers ook deurgaans die koers aanpas en veranderinge aanbring. Dit wat gister gesorg het vir sukses, werk nie meer vandag nie. Maar hoe lyk suksesvolle leierskap vandag?

In Leierskap 101 bespreek Stephan Joubert en Johan Smith 101 aspekte van hoe leierskap vandag lyk. Hierdie unieke blik op leierskap bevestig dat leiers God se gestuurde dienaars is. Deur te kyk na sake soos integriteit, visie, leierskap in die kerk en gehoorsaamheid wys hulle dat leierskap nie ’n lyding hoef te wees nie, maar ’n heerlike en vervullende voorreg.

Ontdek ’n heel nuwe waarheid oor leierskap en word die leier wat God bedoel het jy moet wees.

Recently voices have been heard saying that the Bible is not literally God's word, but rather the word of God in ordinary Human language. Sometimes people say that the Bible is nothing more than words about God.

Izak Spangenberg attempts to formulate a contemporary perspective on the Bible. He shows that the Bible is a book that can greatly assist us in our reflections on God and in our quest for meaning in life. If we use it wisely, it can indeed serve as a guide.

Essentially, however, in the author's opinion, the Bible is not intended as a book of law with which we are to judge other people.

“Is that you, God? Telling me not to do that thing that you know will turn out badly for me? Telling me to listen to your Word instead of my own foolish ideas? Yeah, imma have to see for myself…” – Every Christian Ever.

Have you ever thought that exact thing, just to find out God's way was better, AGAIN? Ariel Fitz-Patrick – TikToker, songwriter, and modern-day messenger (who you may recognize with a blanket over her head playing her own sassy Guardian Angel) – can absolutely relate.

We’ve all been there. We’ve all had moments where we heard God telling us to do that thing (or not do that thing) that’s been bouncing around in our heads for a while. Sometimes He tells us to stop complaining and start praying. Or He tells us to stop hanging out with that person who’s been a really bad influence. Or He warns us not to say those words to that person who cut us off in traffic, even though they absolutely deserved it!

Ariel Fitz-Patrick, gospel musician and TikTok star, has been exactly where you are. She’s been in a lot of situations where God asked her to trust Him even when she wanted to go her own way. There were lots of smaller moments when she was called on to trust God, like when her Caribbean father had strict rules she had to choose whether to follow or when friends pressured her to drink underage. She's also faced much harder moments, like when her family faced homelessness and deep betrayal from people in her own church, as well as times when Ariel wrestled with her own faith questions and uncertainty about what matters most. All of these moments, big or small, were opportunities from God to rely on Him. Everything around you will tell you that you can’t know for sure unless you see for yourself, but our faithful God knows what’s best for you every time.

In Imma See for Myself, Ariel shows how God brought her from heavy-burdened to blossoming—all because she was willing to trust Him even when she couldn’t see the whole path. She shares how you can grow in faith even in the most painful moments through both humorous and hard stories from her life, comedy skits, and sisterly advice from a girl who’s gone and seen for herself. Take it from her—go and SEEK Him for yourself!

A wonderful insight into the faith of C. S. Lewis – the leading writer on Christianity and author of the Narnia books – offering encouragement for everyone struggling with intellectual questions, personal conflicts, or ethical dilemmas.

C. S. Lewis shared his thinking on his faith through his brilliant books, notably Mere Christianity, and his extraordinary number of letters to his friends and the general public. Originally published in three volumes, Letters on Living the Faith recasts selected letters into a brilliant themed guide to Lewis' thoughts.

With chapters On Prayer, Meditations on Love, Spiritual Seekers, Christian Formation, Putting Faith into Practice, Theology & Morality, The Bible, Psychology & Spirituality, Catholicism, His own struggles and on Sorrow & Death, Consolation & Courage, plus insight into his views on Narnia.

This is a fabulous meditation on Faith and its role in C. S. Lewis' life. It reconfirms Lewis as a profound voice for Christianity today.

Prayer is an essential part of the Christian life and an amazing privilege, but for many, it’s challenging. There are so many different ideas about what prayer is and how to pray that it can be confusing or even intimidating.

In How to Talk With God, Joyce gives simple, practical advice based on scriptures from the Bible that will help you discover the truth about prayer. She addresses common issues, such as how to communicate with God, how to know with confidence that He hears you, and how you can learn to hear His voice. But most importantly, you will learn that prayer is exciting because it’s the key to nurturing your personal relationship with God.

Refresh your daily rhythms and deepen your faith through an effective, powerful life of prayer!

Broken to Brave offers the guidance, encouragement, and empowerment you need to pick up the pieces of your life and create a brave, beautiful future--whether the relationship makes it or not.

The Unlikely Candidate is the astonishing story of a boy from Kuruman, a boy no one expected anything great from whose life became evidence that God writes the most beautiful stories with the most least expected beginnings.

The rejected boy became a builder of people. The one who struggled to speak became a communicator. The insecure child became a leader of leaders. The boy without a father became a father to many. The broken became a healer. Today, Koketso travels the world speaking hope, truth, and courage, reminding thousands that God does not choose the qualified, He qualifies the chosen.

This book is not just a memoir, it is a testimony that reminds you that your failures do not disqualify you. Your wounds can become weapons in God’s hands. It is a story of pain and redemption, insecurity and calling and a story of how God takes the unlikely and turns them into instruments of impact.

Nadat Ockert en Michele Potgieter getroud is, het hulle hul tasse gepak en vertrek Oekraïne toe, nie vir hulle wittebrood nie, maar om daar te werk onder die mense wat onlangs bevry is van agter die ystergordyn.

Dit is egter ’n groot ontnugtering vir Michele in die begin – dit is yskoud in die winter en snikwarm in die somer. Die meeste huise het net buitetoilette en daar is min verskeidenheid in basiese kruideniersware. Die mense is baie vriendelik en hulle word meestal met oop arms verwelkom. Maar alles is nie altyd maklik nie, daar is ’n noue ontkoming met die mafia, agtervolging deur die KGB en verraad van binne die gemeente. Dan sterf Ockert tydens die Covid 19-pandemie tydens ’n besoek aan Suid-Afrika. Michele moet besluit of sy teruggaan Oekraïne toe, waar ’n oorlog dreig en of sy in Suid-Afrika by haar mense en haar kinders bly.

Dit is ’n aangrypende verhaal oor liefde: liefde vir God, vir die mense van die Oekraïne, maar ook die liefde tussen Michele, Ockert en hul kinders.

Long-time activist, author and teacher of nonviolence, Father John Dear offers here the first ever commentary on the Synoptic Gospels from the perspective of active nonviolence, in the tradition of Gandhi and Dr. King. He walks through every line of the three synoptic Gospels pointing out Jesus’ practice and teachings of nonviolence each step of the way.

Dear’s Jesus is like Gandhi and Dr. King―nonviolent to the core, a disarming, healing presence toward those in need and a revolutionary disrupter of the unjust status quo and a political threat to the ruling authorities who succeed in killing him, only to push Jesus to the heights of nonviolence through his death and resurrection.

This original commentary brings a fresh new approach to the Gospels that will help all those who preach and engage in social ministries, and inspire everyone in this time of permanent warfare, gun violence, racism, poverty and climate change.

Die wêreld het meer sonneblommense nodig mense wat hulle koppe na die Son toe draai, mense wat meer en meer soos die Son wil wees eerder as giftige ivies, stink Afrikaners, stekelrige kaktusse, knieserige rosies of klaende hangkop wilgers.

Transformasie begin as ons ons deel begin doen en verantwoordelikheid aanvaar om ons negatiewe gedagtes elke dag bewustelik by die alomteenwoordige Son te vernuwe. Ons moet onsself daagliks toewy in die bestudering van die Meester Sonneblom se lieflike kwaliteite en meer van die vrug van sy liefdevolle genadige gees te kweek deur ons gedagtes by hom te vernuwe. Om ou negatiewe gewoontes en denke af te breek vra baie herhaling en volharding.

Kom ons maak dit ons doel om elke dag 'n rapsie meer na Jesus se voorbeeld van christenskap en menswees te lyk. Met hierdie 260 sonneblom dagstukkies nooi Susan jou uit na 'n avontuur van sonsoek al agter die Son aan.

Geniet die sonneblomreis.
