PERFECTION NOT REQUIRED Many of us believe that we aren’t good
enough to meet other people’s expectations. Maybe you can’t
wrap words around why, but lurking beneath the surface of the
carefully curated façade you present in public, it’s there.
Being missed and marginalized by others moves us to assume we’re
not quite good enough for God either. The great news woven
throughout the Gospel according to Luke is that perfection is not a
prerequisite for a deep and personal relationship with Jesus. In
fact, this riveting account reveals that Jesus is especially fond
of ragamuffins in need of a safe place to lean in and linger! Join

"It is a rare thing for me to stand with a book, explicitly about
race and equity, that is written by a white person. Why? Because it
is a rare thing to encounter a white person who has followed the
lead of people of color into their own transformation so deeply
that I trust the message coming from their white body. Idelette
McVicker has done the work."--Lisa Sharon Harper (from the
foreword) As a white Afrikaner woman growing up in South Africa
during apartheid, Idelette McVicker was steeped in a community and
a church that reinforced racism and shielded her from seeing her
neighbors' oppression. But a series of circumstances led her to
begin questioning everything she thought was true about her
identity, her country, and her faith. Recovering Racists shares
McVicker's journey over thirty years and across three continents to
shatter the lies of white supremacy embedded deep within her soul.
She helps us realize that grappling with the legacy of white
supremacy and recovering from racism is lifelong work that requires
both inner transformation and societal change. It is for those of
us who have hit rock bottom in the human story of race, says
McVicker. We must acknowledge our internalized racism, repent of
our complicity, and learn new ways of being human. This book
invites us on the long, slow journey of healing the past, making
things right, changing old stories, and becoming human together. As
we work for the liberation of everyone, we also find liberation for
ourselves. Each chapter ends with discussion questions.
Journey through the biblical stories of the early Christian
movement, and see what kind of wild adventures await those who
truly believe Jesus. Throughout the book of Acts, believing Jesus
and what he said is the core value that marked every believer in
the first church. Because they believed Jesus, the early Christians
were willing to risk everything-their comfort, their homes, even
their lives. In this eight-session video Bible study (streaming
included), Lisa Harper launches into the book of Acts to discover
how Jesus' command to spread the gospel changed the lives of those
who believed and shaped the culture that surrounded the growing
church. At the end of this journey together, not only will you have
studied this wild, adventurous, risk-taking book of the Bible; but
you'll see how God supernaturally orchestrated the events in
Scripture to bring about the message of salvation that the early
believers preached. Today, we are faced with the same risks. Will
we truly believe the words of Jesus and allow them to transform
every part of our lives? This study guide has everything you need
for a full Bible study experience, including: The study guide
itself-with discussion questions, conversation starters, video
notes, and a leader's guide. An individual access code to stream
all eight video sessions online (you don't need to buy a DVD!).

Reframing remembrance examines films about the Nazi Occupation of
France, charting how this period has been commemorated and how it
has affected the articulation of French national identity. The book
proposes that 1995 marked the beginning of a new approach to
commemoration, reflected by socio-political acts, such as Jacques
Chirac's July 1995 Vel' d'Hiv speech, and artistic acts, most
notably films set during the Occupation. This is an approach that
embraces critical engagement with history and its retelling. With
relevance to countries beyond France and events far removed from
the Second World War, Reframing remembrance highlights the need for
ongoing, honest remembrance and self-reflection as cultural
representations of history continue to shape contemporary views
about nations' identities and their global responsibilities. -- .
One of the most wonderful things about walking with God is that we can have an intimate and real relationship with him. He wants us to know him so well that we are comfortable talking to him about anything and everything. Yet, there are times when we feel disconnected and insecure. We desire to grow in prayer, but we don't know where to begin, what to say, or how to listen for his voice.
In She Prays, Debbie Lindell invites you on a 31-day journey to experience a confident and conversational relationship with your heavenly Father. She shows you how to replace the pressure to perform in prayer with a faith-filled expectation--trusting that God is delighted with every conversation and every word we whisper to him. Her desire is that your soul will be transformed as your confidence in prayer grows, and that your faith will be strengthened as you see God work through your prayers in ways you never imagined possible.

Would you consider your life stretched to the limit?
Are you a burn-the-candle-at-both-ends kind of gal with lots of
room for improvement when it comes to creating margins for rest?
But you actually "love" it and wouldn't want it any other way?
Well, so does Lisa Harper.
In her humorous and packed-with-biblical-wisdom way, Lisa shows
us that it is possible for a frazzled nature to be glorifying to
the Lord. Every late-night conversation with a hurting friend and
each precious, adopted child needing a little extra tender loving
care--exhausting, yet imperative, ways to be extensions of the
gospel. In each of these vignettes illustrating Lisa's overextended
life, we learn that even in the middle of our own pure motives and
hectic schedules, it is only by resting in God's sovereign mercy
that we are able to keep risking our hearts to serve his people and
fulfill the callings he has placed on us.
"Real" life . . . "abundant" life . . . g"odly" life is about
loving Jesus and the people he allows us to rub shoulders with
well--which means some days you'll be stretched emotionally and
physically. You'll feel overextended. Thankfully God will expand
our hearts and calendars to accommodate the calling. He is in the
business of supplying us with new mercies every morning . . . new
candles to burn, for more lives needing his light.
On those days when French fries litter the floor of your minivan,
when you think bad words about other drivers, when your smile hides
an anxious heart-in those moments when you fall short of all you'd
hoped to be-what does God see when He looks at you?
In your less-than-lovely moments,
God sees a precious daughter in need of His perfect love.
In this liberating look at how God adores and transforms imperfect
people, Bible teacher Lisa Harper weaves poignant stories of her
own personal foibles with a fresh take on selected Psalms to reveal
a loving Father who remains your greatest champion even when you
don't feel anywhere close to holy.
Join Lisa in discovering what happens when we stop trying to hide
our inadequacies and doubts and instead trust God with our anger,
frustrations, flaws, and regrets. As you accept God's loving
invitation to exchange your junk for His joy, you'll find the
imperfect pieces of your life shaped into a glorious pattern of
divine grace.
Are you truly willing to risk everything? In Believing Jesus, Bible
teacher and author Lisa Harper retraces the steps of the apostles
in the book of Acts, while throwing in a few of her own crazy
adventures along the way. The disciples didn't have much of a road
map after Jesus ascended to heaven, but God's grace and spirit
filled in the gaps as they moved forward. It required their
willingness to risk everything to establish a new community that
would change the future world. As a regular speaker on the Women of
Faith (R) tour, Lisa has earned a reputation as a true theological
scholar and hilarious storyteller-not necessarily in that order!
Best-selling author and pastor Max Lucado calls Lisa one of the
"best Bible tour guides around." Believing Jesus will highlight
both of Lisa's strengths as she tackles every chapter of the Book
of Acts with biblical wisdom and modern wit. Lisa keeps it real,
telling stories on herself and pointing readers back to Jesus, the
only one who can truly lead.
"Lisa's fine grasp of Scripture and love for the Lord make her a
trustworthy teacher, yet we learn from her own hard-earned lessons
as well. She speaks and writes from a place of understanding, as
she clings to God's hand, giving us the privilege of stumbling into
grace with her."
--LIZ CURTIS HIGGS, best-selling author of "Bad Girls of the Bible"
"So, today I've been thinking about...things that
bind us. The thought flitted around my mind and then landed for a
while, likely because I was wearing a pair of too-tight jeans."
Women of Faith(R) speaker and author Lisa Harper relates from
experience -- life can be uncertain, sometimes even scary. But with
a witty twinkle in her eye and a Bible in her hand, she describes
what it's like to find real security in the arms of a Savior who
doesn't just notice us but who moves heaven and earth on our
behalf.
Part diary, part devotional, ""Stumbling Into Grace"" weaves
hilarious and poignant stories from Lisa's own life with intimate
and transformational encounters from the life of Christ. Prayers,
reflection questions, and journal prompts help women dig deep into
biblical truths to better understand how our Redeemer's compassion,
affection, and constancy make every single moment of life not only
more enjoyable but well worth living
God is good, God does good, and oh, how He wants you to be happy.
In her new book, The Sacrament of Happy: What a Smiling God Brings
to a Wounded World , Lisa Harper unveils that happiness is a gift
from God that we can unashamedly enjoy. Happiness tends to be cast
as a fluffy emotion without substance rather than a biblical
concept, but this is not theologically accurate. Wearing the twin
hats of both seminarian and belly-laughing adoptive mom, Lisa
Harper dismantles the old-school idea that joy, not happiness, is
the truly spiritual emotion, and asserts that Christ-followers are
actually called to happiness. We are called to happiness, and this
happiness is not impacted by personal or global tumult. In fact,
happiness is a sacrament. The general definition of sacrament is "a
visible sign of inward grace." In communities of faith, it most
often refers to holy communion or the Eucharist. In the broadest
understanding, however, a sacrament is a gift bestowed by God, and
in that case, 'happiness' is absolutely a sacrament-a visible,
sometimes even audible, sign of inward grace! Lisa shares
heart-wrenching difficult stories from her past, as well as some
side-splitting hilarity along the way. Throughout the book, we see
that happiness and sadness can coexist and ebb and flow like the
tides. Christine Caine, Founder of A21 & Propel Women, had this
to say about Lisa's new book: " The Sacrament of Happy -like all of
Lisa's messages and books-enriches my understanding of God and His
Word-and His great love for us. As always, she unfolds biblical
truth so clearly and calls me to action. Every. Single. Time."
The Peace Map delivers the Lord's Code extracted from the Gideon
Bible. The codes are obtained using several methods. In utilizing
bible pages and limited verses, messages appear. The most common
method to obtain a code message is to use a birth date, the time of
passing or happening. The purpose of The Peace Map is to stop wars.
The codes frequently state "no more wars." There is also another
purpose and that is to stop the Apocalypse. The codes have foretold
that Obama should win the Presidential election in 2012. Mitt
Romney would take us into World War III. The codes foretell who is
innocent and who is guilty. Code messages concerning disease cures,
assassinations, Hurricane Sandy, Twin Towers, gay rights and the
reincarnation of Jesus is provided. This is only the beginning.
There is much work to be done. We must all do our part to make the
world a better place to live in. We must prevent the Apocalypse
from happening. The Peace Map is about love and all mankind.
Noted Bible teacher Lisa Harper leads women through the Song of
Solomon in this modern take on the classic Bible Study. Using
current day examples, humor and personal anecdotes, Lisa attempts
to answer the question, "What does every girl want?" by showing
readers the portrait of perfect love and intimacy that is
beautifully embedded in the lines of the most seductive love poem
found in the Old Testament.
Features: Provides readers with a deeper, more expositional
approach to understanding the Song of Solomon than traditional
fill-in-the-blank Bible studies. Provides a wide variety of helpful
"handholds" throughout the text (i.e. historical context, Biblical
vocabulary guides, interesting facts about the time period, and
explanations of Hebrew translations). "Fast Fact,""Did You Know?"
and "More Info" sidebars provide additional information about the
historical context of the verse in question as well as explanations
for unfamiliar Biblical vocabulary words, and translations from the
original Hebrew. Open-ended, in-text questions allow for deeper
discussion/study, individually or with a group.
For what does a woman's heart yearn? What drives her and feeds her
true passions? What is every woman's hope? Lisa Harper uses humor,
biblical insight, and real-life experiences to connect with women
everywhere as she reveals three of our most basic soul-needs -- the
yearning to satisfy our "desperate need for mercy," the desire to
know that our lives are "defined by God's grace," and the need to
believe, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that we are "beloved by God."
Harper fortifies readers with the power of God's promises and
then points the way to the hidden potential in the heart of every
woman. As you step through these pages, you will search your own
hungers and desires and discover that a woman's greatest hopes
cannot be fulfilled by the ragged offerings of this world; rather,
they are pinned to a sacred cross, fulfilled by unbounded mercy,
and made sure by the unconditional love of God.
If you are honest enough to admit that you aren't perfect, this
book will guide you to a Redeemer whose love for you isn't bound by
your behavior. If you need to know that God's love will remain
steadfast and true -- no matter what -- this book is for you. He is
pursuing you at this very moment. Are you ready to be found? Open
the pages of this book, and open your hear to His relentless love.
Journey through the biblical stories of the early Christian
movement, and see what kind of wild adventures await those who
truly believe Jesus. Throughout the book of Acts, believing Jesus
and what He said is the core value that marked every believer in
the first church. Because they believed Jesus, the early
Christians, including Peter, Paul, Stephen, and Timothy:
Consistently chose risk over comfort--even at the cost of some of
their lives. Persistently opened their homes and arms, giving all
they had to the Jesus way. Radically pursued Christ over
culture--until they began to shape the culture around them. In this
eight-session video Bible study (DVD/digital video sold
separately), Lisa Harper launches into the book of Acts to discover
how Jesus' command to spread the gospel changed the lives of those
who believed and shaped the culture that surrounded the growing
church. At the end of this journey together, not only will you have
studied this wild, adventurous, risk-taking book of the Bible; but
you'll see how God supernaturally orchestrated the events in
Scripture to bring about the message of salvation that the early

the same decisions the early church faced. Will we, like them,
