Podcast host, spiritual director, and bestselling author of The
Next Right Thing, Emily P. Freeman, offers guidance to help us
recognize when it’s time to move on from situations that no
longer serve us, allowing us to find new spaces where we can
flourish and grow. Emily P. Freeman has built a loyal and growing
audience who turn to her for practical advice and wisdom on the
topic of discernment—figuring out the right direction for their
lives and the steps necessary to get there. In her most recent
book, The Next Right Thing, she showed readers how to clear the
chaos that clouds decision-making, quiet the fear of choosing
wrong, and find the courage to choose without regret or second
guessing. Building on that message, How to Walk Into a Room (And
How to Know When It’s Time to Walk Out) teaches us how to
recognize and accept when it’s time to leave behind the
situations in our lives that no longer serve us, and learn to find
new ones that allow us to flourish. Emily reveals that the key to
growth is listening to our inner truths. In doing so, we can
discover the silent, nuanced, and hidden arrows that point toward
our next right thing. Emily guides us to find those hidden arrows
using poignant and thought-provoking questions such as:Â How
do I know if it’s time to move on? What if leaving wasn’t my
choice? What if I leave and everything falls apart? Does leaving
make me a quitter? For anyone who feels too angry to stay and too
scared to move on, How to Walk into A Room (And How to Know When to
When It’s Time to Walk Out) invites us to embrace the healthy
rhythm of letting go and moving toward a positive new horizon.
You know her--the good girl. She's the reliable one who shows up
every week at youth group wearing a purity ring and a smile. She
gets good grades, makes the team, and doesn't need to be told to
come home on time. But deep down she is crushed by the weight of
the responsibility to be the good one, the smart one, the one who
never messes up.
With the same candor and gentle spirit she showed women in "Grace
for the Good Girl," Emily Freeman now gives young women what they
need to be free on the inside, no matter what's going on outside.
Through an honest look at the roles girls play, she helps them
learn to stop trying and start trusting that the Jesus who came to
save them also comes to live with them, right here and now.
Many of us believe we are saved by grace--but for too many, that's
the last time grace defines our life. Instead of walking in grace
every day, we strive to be good, believing that the Christian life
means hard work with an unshakable good mood. When we fail to
measure up to our own impossible standards, we hide behind our
good-girl masks, determined to keep our weakness a secret. In Grace
for the Good Girl, Emily P. Freeman invites women to let go of the
try-hard life and realize that in Christ we are free to receive
from him rather than constantly try to achieve for him. With an
open hand and a whimsical style, Emily encourages women to move
from hiding behind masks and do-good performances to the freedom of
a life hidden with Christ in God.
The majority of us would not necessarily define ourselves as
artists. We're parents, students, businesspeople, friends. We're
working hard, trying to make ends meet, and often longing for a
little more--more time, more love, more security, more of a sense
that there" is" more out there. The truth? We need not look around
so much. God is within us and he wants to shine through us in a
million little ways.
"A Million Little Ways" uncovers the creative, personal imprint of
God on every individual. It invites the discouraged parent, the
bored Christian, the exhausted executive to look at their lives
differently by approaching their critics, their jobs, and the kids
around their table the same way an artist approaches the
canvas--with wonder, bravery, and hope. In her gentle, compelling
style, Emily Freeman encourages readers to turn down the volume on
their inner critic and move into the world with the courage to be
who they most deeply are. She invites regular people to see the
artistic potential in words, gestures, attitudes, and
relationships. Readers will discover the art in a quiet word, a hot
dinner, a made bed, a grace-filled glance, and a million other ways
of showing God to the world through the simple human acts of
listening, waiting, creating, and showing up.

Type 4: The Romantic Individualist, from The Enneagram Collection,
is for anyone who loves the Enneagram and wants to go deeper with
this interactive book exploring the unique motivations, longings,
and strengths and weaknesses of a Type 4-those who have a core
desire to be unique, special, and their authentic self. The
Enneagram has never been more popular. This ancient personality
typing system identifies nine types of people and how they relate
to one another and helps people discover what motivates them, their
fears, and how best to interact with others. With the growing
popularity of this self-assessment tool in all spheres of life,
including personal relationships, professional relationships, faith
communities, students, and even pop culture, these interactive
books are great for anyone newly interested in the Enneagram or the
longtime Enneagram enthusiast. With space to journal about the
unique motivations, longings, and strengths and weaknesses of a
Type 4-those who have a core desire to be unique, special, and
their authentic self, Beth McCord shows how to transform
self-limiting behaviors into life-enhancing personal empowerment.
In addition to deeply informative content from Enneagram expert
Beth McCord, the pages include interactive prompts and space
provided for reflection and notes. Each book teaches about the
strengths, challenges, and opportunities for that personality type
in order to lead to a more meaningful life, lasting relationships,
and a deeper understanding of God and yourself.
If the past few years have taught us anything, it's that the world
is broken. The world we thought we knew vanished, and so many of us
are now struggling to make sense of a world that's not what we
thought it was. This book is about what happens when the
fundamental picture we had relied on - our sense of how everything
holds together - falls apart. For some, this moment comes when a
global pandemic upends our security. For others, it's a partner
leaving, or a terrible diagnosis, or the death of a loved one. Many
of us have felt our worlds breaking when long-held beliefs about
God or faith slipped through our hands. Whether the details are
global or personal, the experience is the same: you discover that
the framing reality you were living in has fractured. But here's
the good news: The world has been breaking for as long as we can
remember. We've been here before, which means we can turn to
ancient, perennial wisdom to help us sort through these urgent
problems. In When the World Breaks, Jason Adam Miller explores the
possibilities for hope hidden in the paradoxes Jesus spoke when he
taught the eight blessings - often called the Beatitudes - recorded
in the beginning of Matthew chapter 5. These strange blessings name
our experiences of suffering and are built on a particular kind of
hope. This book is a meditation on those teachings as a
transformative way forward when we suffer. Lyrically written,
theologically rich, and supremely accessible, When the World Breaks
reveals an unexpected way to look at these familiar verses, giving
readers hope that God is with them in their suffering, and helping
them become the kind of people who can put things back together.
Suburban life-including tract homes, strip malls, commuter
culture-shapes our desires. More than half of Americans live in the
suburbs. Ashley Hales writes that for many Christians, however:
"The suburbs are ignored ('Your place doesn't matter, we're all
going to heaven anyway'), denigrated and demeaned ('You're selfish
if you live in a suburb; you only care about your own safety and
advancement'), or seen as a cop-out from a faithful Christian life
('If you really loved God, you'd move to Africa or work in an
impoverished area'). In everything from books to Hollywood jokes,
the suburbs aren't supposed to be good for our souls." What does it
look like to live a full Christian life in the suburbs? Suburbs
reflect our good, God-given desire for a place to call home. And
suburbs also reflect our own brokenness. This book is an invitation
to look deeply into your soul as a suburbanite and discover what it
means to live holy there.
