God came in the flesh to show us what love looks like. To truly see the dynamics of this love, we must take a close look at Jesus's relationships while he was here on earth. How he loved then is how he loves now, and how he loves now is how we as believers are to love. No Greater Love is a study of Jesus's interactions with people throughout the book of John, including Nicodemus, the woman at the well, and even the Pharisees. What did this love look like in action, especially with those who are hard to love? As it turns out, he didn't love people because they deserved it; he loved them because he is love. With the great tragedies in our culture today there is a need for this "Jesus love" that's available to all believers. May this book help you better know his love for you--which, in the end, will lead you to becoming more like him.

Concise edition of Dane Ortlund’s book Gentle and Lowly, edited for young readers, new Christians, and seekers.

When Christians struggle with sin, they can easily feel that God is close to giving up on them. But in Matthew 11, Jesus describes himself as “gentle and lowly in heart,” longing for believers to find rest in him. The good news of the gospel flows from God’s deepest love for his people.

In this concise book adapted from the bestselling Gentle and Lowly by Dane Ortlund, readers will encounter Jesus’s tender heart for sinners and sufferers. Written for a wide audience―including younger readers, new Christians, and those just beginning to explore the Christian faith―it features easy-to-read terms and helpful explanations. The chapters are also short enough to read at bedtime, around the dinner table, or during lunchtime. The Heart of Jesus dives deep into Bible passages that speak of who Christ is, comforting and sustaining readers with the affections of Christ for his people.

Adapted from Gentle and Lowly: Smaller chapters and sentences are ideal for younger readers and busy families, as well as those who might have difficulty reading a longer book
Provides a Unique Perspective: Confronts readers’ typical thoughts on God’s heart
Scripture-Based: Explores passages throughout the whole Bible to give readers a full picture of God’s heart for sinners

In 'n Ewige kroon vertel die gewese Mej. Heelal en Mej. Suid-Afrika Demi-Leigh Tebow hoe gevaarlik dit is om ons identiteit aan ons prestasies te koppel. Ontdek wie jy geskape is om te wees, en hoe jy jou platform kan gebruik om ’n verskil te maak. Demi verweef haar lewensverhaal met die insigte wat sy langs pad verwerf het, en wys hoe jy kan leer om op jou groter roeping te fokus eerder as op jou aspirasies, en ’n voetspoor van betekenis kan nalaat, eerder as een van sukses.

Why is it that so many Christians find it difficult to develop a vibrant and exciting prayer life? Even though prayer is foundational to the Christian life, many are intimidated or uncertain about how to talk to God. Prayer feels quaint and old-fashioned to some, sacred and uncomfortable to others. It's not a lack of inspiration--there's plenty of that. And it's not that Christians don't realize prayer is important--they know it is. So what's the issue?

Pastor Chris Hodges has spent years studying the prayers of the Bible and the models of prayer that the scriptures provide for Christians. Now, he shares with readers the teachings and methods he's used to successfully help hundreds of thousands of people understand how to spend time in conversation with God--and enjoy every minute.

Pray First will help readers:

• Gain the understanding and tools to make prayer work--and bring the joy back into their time with God
• Take a journey through the prayers of the Bible, which reveal how to make prayer more personal and powerful
• Learn about fasting, an often overlooked but powerful discipline that's a vital companion to prayer
• Follow proven, biblically grounded methods for making prayer a priority, not an afterthought

Written in the personable, relatable, and always biblically based style that has become Hodges's hallmark, Pray First is a revolutionary how-to manual for all Christians who want to experience a dynamic, intimate prayer life with God.

Your Damage Does Not Define You.

Underneath our designer clothes, makeup, jewellery, and photo filters are cracks left by abuse, mistakes, rejection, and disappointment. Bestselling author and pastor Michael Todd reveals his own damage: the hits he’s experienced from trauma, dumb choices, and lingering struggles passed down through generations. Using candid stories, engaging illustrations, and biblical wisdom, he encourages readers to be H.O.T.—humble, open, and transparent—and face the pain of past hits to move toward the triumphant future God has for them.

Damaged but Not Destroyed: From Trauma To Triumph will give you tools to identify the impact of your damage, see yourself the way God sees you, and realize that healing is all about progression, not perfection.

No matter how badly you’ve messed up, and no matter the pain you’ve experienced, nothing can destroy the God-given value of your life. It’s time to turn your damage into destiny! You may be damaged, but you are not destroyed.

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.

When Heaven seems silent, and God, indifferent . . . bring your disappointment, anger, questions, and broken heart.

Life can be disappointing—bitterly disappointing. Especially if you’ve been asking, or begging, for God’s help and your prayers go unanswered. Maybe you were taught that God loves you only to discover that when you really need Him, He’s not there.

In Why Doesn’t God Answer My Prayers? respected preacher and bestselling author Dr. Erwin Lutzer helps us see God’s love and guidance even when He seems to be silent. This biblical guide ministers to tender and hurting places as it thoughtfully considers:

• When the person you love isn’t healed.
• When the worst happens.
• When evil feels like it’s winning.
• When promises are unfulfilled.
• When the answer is disaster . . . and more.

As Lutzer delves into Scripture and reveals God's hidden purposes, readers’ hearts move from despair or despondence to hope and trust. Whatever your current position is to prayer—clenched fists, tear-stained face, heartache, or back turned—the truth of this book will transform you.

If you’ve ever in desperation mumbled the question, Does God even care? If you’ve left the faith, are losing your grip on faith, or know someone who has departed the faith, this book is for you.

We need to hear these encouraging truths, and we probably know someone else who needs them as well.

As the West struggles against attempts to destroy it from within and without, key lessons in resilience from its Jewish parent can enable both Christianity and civilization to survive.

Western civilization is facing a critical moment. Foreign enemies sensing its weakness are circling. Internally, the West is being consumed by division, decadence, and demoralization. The October 7 attack on Israel presented it with a choice between civilization and barbarism—a challenge the West has failed. But this damaged society is far from lost if it takes advice from an unexpected source.

Western culture is based upon Christianity, whose own foundations in turn lie in Judaism. The unique survival of the Jewish people offers both the West and its struggling Christian church, as well as secular people who shun religion, priceless lessons in resilience that they must learn if their culture is to survive.

Are you compelled to tell your side of the story?
Do you fight thoughts of suspicion or distrust?
Are you constantly rehearsing past hurts?
Have you lost hope because of what someone did to you?

The Bait of Satan exposes one of the most deceptive snares Satan uses to get believers out of the will of God--offense. This trap restrains countless Christians, severs relationships, and widens the gulfs between us. Jesus said, "It is impossible that no offenses should come” (Luke 17:1). Although you will encounter offense, you can choose how you will react.

In this new twentieth anniversary edition, John Bevere shows you how to identify the traps ahead of you and escape the victim mentality. With declaration-style prayers and testimonials from people whose lives have been changed by his message, this book will inspire you to stay free from offense and its destructive power.

Don’t let anyone affect your relationship with God!

Force for Good is a bold and refreshingly balanced exploration of positive masculinity, written to inspire men to become powerful forces for good in a world that desperately needs them to step into this role. The book challenges the extremes that often define the discourse around masculinity – aggressive dominance on one side and passive disengagement on the other. It offers a vision of true and healthy masculinity that is both strong and gentle, fierce and safe, confident and humble.

At its core is the conviction that men are made to be powerful forces, but only in service of what is good. Power, often misunderstood or negatively viewed, is essential. Without it, a man cannot fulfil his potential or meet the needs of those who depend on him. Power itself is neutral; how it is used determines whether it becomes a force for good or harm.

The book is divided into three parts – Being Man, Becoming a Force, and Doing Good – and builds a compelling case for the value of healthy masculinity. It explores the internal and external battles men face, the journey from boyhood to manhood, and the sacred responsibility to grow in strength and purpose. Force for Good calls men to action, not against others but for the good of others. It is a timely, courageous invitation to be all that a man was made to be, because such a man will be a Force for Good.

Change is inevitable. And sometimes it's confusing and difficult, even when it's good. We can't keep change from coming, but we can allow it to transform us rather than derail us by facing it and embracing it through the lens of God's unchanging promises to us.

We've all heard the saying, “The only constant is change.” Sometimes the changes we face, both expected and unexpected, can make our lives feel ungrounded and unsteady. And when we react to change with fear, an opportunity for growth can turn into overwhelming anxiety that locks us into situations, relationships, and ways of thinking and being that prevent us from living in the fullness of who we truly are in Christ.

Beloved Bible teacher and #1 New York Times bestselling author Joyce Meyer wants us to know that even when we feel like the ground beneath our feet is shifting, we can stand firm on the promise of God's Word that He will see us through. With her signature insight and timeless wisdom, Joyce shows us how to align our emotional reactions to changes with the truth of God's promise that He will work all changes for good in our lives, even the most painful and difficult ones. In TheCourage to Change, you will learn how to:

• Embrace change as a necessary part of growth
• Replace a mindset of fear with a mindset of opportunity
• And live fully within the uncertainty of change while maintaining peace.

Beautifully told through the eyewitness accounts of those who knew him best.

This real-life story will never leave you.

This is the incredible true story of a Galilean stonemason who changed the course of the world forever.

He lived and died over 2,000 years ago, fulfilling expectations that existed long before his birth.

His birth had been mystically foretold by astrologers for hundreds of years, yet the rulers of his day dreaded his coming.

This humble builder-teacher became a magnet for the poor and down trodden, a symbol of love and mercy, who transformed the lives and restored the health and purpose in all who encountered him.

The local elite and governing rulers eventually tortured him and put him to death in the most violent and public of ways. Yet that was only the beginning...

In the years since, billions of people have dedicated their lives to this man and have testified to his divinity and truth.

To others, he is little more than another rebel who was killed by one of the most brutal empires in human history.

How we each respond to this story dictates the course of our lives. And it all rests on the great mystery that occurred at the end of his life - a supernatural event that he had predicted with utter clarity.

Did this humble man tell the truth?

Could one man really be the focal point of the universe?
