We all have times when we feel trapped by life. A world of
dysfunction seems to hem us in on every side as our hearts yearn
for horizons that seem just beyond our grasp. We search for
pathways forward we just can't seem to find. But, as Derek Webster
demonstrates, God wants to lead us to health. How do we do that?
Viewed through the lens of the familiar Old Testament Bible story
of Joseph, Your Mess, God's Masterpiece shows us a way to journey
from trapped to triumphant living. This book will help you move
from the mess you're stuck in, to become the masterpiece God longs
for you to be.

God Never Gives Up on You: What Jacob's Story Teaches Us About Grace,
Mercy, And God's Relentless Love is a book for the members of the Lost
Halo Society. For the strugglers among us and the fumbler within us.
For those of us who are part saint, part scoundrel. We mean well, but
we don’t always do well. We have breakthroughs and breakdowns, often in
the same hour. We need no reminder of our failures, but we could always
use a refresher course on God’s perfect plan to use imperfect people to
do great things.
No one is more suited to the task than Jacob. He was less a prodigy and
more a prodigal. Strong on savvy. Low on conscience. Jacob took
advantage of his famished brother and pulled the wool over the eyes of
his dying father, yet God never turned his back on Jacob.
God used Jacob because God chose to use Jacob. Period. The word for
that kind of devotion? Grace. Grace came after Jacob. Grace found him
in the desert. Grace protected him in exile. Grace wrestled him to the
ground and blessed him. Grace led him home to Canaan.
By taking a closer look at Jacob’s incredible story, you will:
• Learn to see the ways God turns your brokenness into blessings
• Overcome shame and negative thoughts by embracing who you are in the
eyes of a loving, merciful God Strengthen your relationships by leading
a life marked by grace and forgiveness for yourself and others
Jacob’s story invites us to believe in a God who sticks beside the
unworthy and underachievers and leads us safely home. If God can use
Jacob to further his kingdom, he can use us too. Let Max show you how.
Winner of the 2020 Paraclete Poetry Prize, Litany of Flights is a
luminous examination of the journey of the soul, from moments of
loss to moments of incandescent transformation. These poems remind
us to behold the extraordinary in the ordinary, and that the secret
workings of the divine occur even through the difficult: "the
painful paring of your hollow bones has made you light." Drawing on
the beauty of the natural world, the devastating effects of drought
and wildfires, tender moments of daily experience, and lessons of
the saints, the poet creates a landscape of light and darkness,
with unexpected turns into divine presence and absence. Through a
spiral of red-tailed hawks, the nest of a mourning dove, the
parting of waters, and the ripeness of a persimmon, this shimmering
collection invites the reader to singular and transfiguring flight.
Litany of Flights (from the forthcoming collection) First, the
winged movement, steady, forward. Scrub jays in flitting progress,
hawks in predator glide, a ringing up, a knife-sharp slope down.
Second, the effortless type, wind-splayed, motionless pinions in
thermal recline, as the Psalmist says, blessings breeze his love
even in sleep. Third, the hungry, against the gale, the destination
singular and the sun dipping crimson. Fourth, the metallic,
business or pleasure. Fifth, the whirring kind, all hummingbird. A
picnic, apples and chocolate in the garden with roses, both flower
and child. You miss it when it's gone. Sixth, a baffling flight of
stairs, winding upward, passage and yet vehicle, spiraling to
unseen landings-hope courses in the kaleidoscopic lights. Seventh,
soar to the sun. Eighth, melt in bitter hubris. You know the story.
Ninth, escape. A flight out of Egypt, a path through the sea
cleared by divine hand. The times you ran, the times you were left
behind in lament. Tenth, only rotting in the belly of a whale tames
your stubborn turn from Nineveh. Eleventh, flights of despair and
of yearning, two sides of one letting go, hard-earned release back
into the wild, unbound by expectation, featherlike. Twelfth, in a
moment, caught up high by the Beloved, the one making all things
work together, wings, body, arch, air-caught up, like the Shulamite
bride, to regions beyond aeronautical wisdom, transported in joy.
See, he says, the painful paring of your hollow bones has made you
light.

What happens when authority is abused?Imagine our nation without
police officersImagine our lives without the protection of the
badge.Imagine traveling without stop signs, traffic signals, and
roadside warnings.Imagine no violations, no punishments--a grade
school playground without rules, a government without leaders...You
might as well imagine the earth without gravity, because without
authority, there would be chaos.But what happens when authority is
misused? Or worse, what happens when spiritual abuse is written off
as "authority"?As surely as the absence of authority produces
chaos, the abuse of authority produces destruction. Countless
people have fallen victim to the manipulation of power and
authority. Lives have been warped forever, marriages have been
destroyed, women and children have been abused, and husbands and
fathers undermined within the boundaries of their home. Also,
tragically, it's inside the church--where salvation, healing,
freedom, and love should abound--that some of the worst authority
abuse takes place. God's design for authority has been
misunderstood, twisted, and manipulated, leaving innocent people as
victims and prisoners of controlling, abusive situations. The
wounded and weak have been preyed upon, and the guilty have been
frightened into submission by leaders who use people to improve
their own self-esteem or advance their careers.Wake up!!! This is
not God's design for the church--or authority.In this book, Bishop
George Bloomer discusses: Gods true design for authorityWhy people
abuse authorityThe effects of authority abuse in the homeHow to
recognize an authority abuserGod's restoration plan for the abused
and the abuserAndThe key to breaking freefrom the bondage of
spiritual abuse.
Be still. For some, these two simple words a welcome invitation to
slow down. For others, they feel impossible, out of reach in our
increasingly noisy world, or simply just too hard to maintain.
There is another way. In fact, there are many. In this practical,
easy-to-read guide, Brian Heasley explores the multitude of rhythms
of Christian prayer and devotion available to every believer. From
memorising scripture and prayer running to noticing beauty
everywhere, he demonstrates how we don't need to be static for our
hearts to be still, and how even in the midst of a full, busy life,
we can spend quiet time with God. Be Still is a prayer book for
anyone looking for ways to revitalise the way they pray or who is
struggling to make space for devotional time with God. Packed full
of ideas for different ways to pray and tips and advice for how to
build prayer practices into everyday life, Brian's book will change
the way you think about prayer and devotion and equip you with all
the tools you need to deepen your relationship with God. You can
use the book individually or in small groups, or read it alongside
24-7 Prayer's new Be Still prayer course. It also makes a great
resource for youth leaders looking to help teenagers cultivate
daily rhythms of prayer and spend more quiet time with God, or as a
gift for people starting out on their faith journey or those
returning to faith after a while. Join Brian Heasley, and discover
the different ways in which we can all Be Still.
