The New York Times bestselling author of Get Out of Your Head offers practical solutions for creating true community, the kind that’s crucial to our mental and spiritual health.

In a world that’s both more connected and more isolating than ever before, we’re often tempted to do life alone, whether because we’re so busy or because relationships feel risky and hard. But science confirms that consistent, meaningful connection with others has a powerful impact on our well-being. We are meant to live known and loved. But so many are hiding behind emotional walls that we’re experiencing an epidemic of loneliness.

In Find Your People, bestselling author Jennie Allen draws on fascinating insights from science and history, timeless biblical truth, and vulnerable stories from her own life to help you:

• overcome the barriers to making new friends and learn to initiate with easy-to-follow steps
• find simple ways to press through awkward to get to authentic in conversations
• understand how conflict can strengthen relationships rather than destroy them
• identify the type of friend you are and the types of friends you need
• learn the five practical ingredients you need to have the type of friends you’ve always longed for

You were created to play, engage, adventure, and explore—with others. In Find Your People, you’ll discover exactly how to dive into the deep end and experience the full wonder of community. Because while the ache of loneliness is real, it doesn’t have to be your reality.

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?''
• Offers a redefinition of what success is
• Content is easy to read and understand
• Will also be enjoyed by a younger market

Inspector Smart enjoyed having a tough case to solve, but this one was really puzzling.

Jesus had been killed and his body put in a cave. Everyone agreed on that. There was a huge stone across the door, and armed guards outside. But even so - the body was missing

Join Inspector Smart as he gets into his super-duper police chariot to investigate the Case of the Empty Tomb.

This book is a full-color illustrated story book for ages 4-7. Also available, for ages 8-11, is the Case File and, for all ages, The Rock Went a Rolling 10 rocking songs about Jesus.

This book was first published in fourteen years ago, but its

content is timeless. It is John Blanchard's major work, and was

voted 'Best Christian Book' in the 2001 UK Christian Book

Awards, and immediately became a best-seller, described as 'a

brilliant defense of belief in God'.

Scholars, clergy and lay people alike will welcome this publication that addresses the problems raised by biblical scholarship concerning the man Jesus and his mission. "A cross between a "life of Christ" and a contribution to the "quest of the historical Jesus," this book offers a thorough presentation and analysis of all the major events and teachings of Jesus of Nazareth. Sometimes the groupings are thematic, sometimes the structure is chronological, but always there is a robust defense of the historicity of the canonical Gospels' material along with penetrating analysis as to its meaning... Evangelicals who want to write on the historical Jesus and/or the life of the Christ in the future will most assuredly have to take thoroughly into account both the form and content of Seccombe's volume. Someone who has never read a work of this genre would be hard pressed to find a better exemplar with which to begin." - Craig L Blomberg.

Some people think the Bible is a book of rules or a book of heroes. But the Bible is most of all a story—a story of how God loves His children and comes to rescue them.

The multi-award winning and best-selling The Jesus Storybook Bible: Every story whispers his name introduces children aged 5-8 to God’s wonderful story, and the Savior at the center of that story. While other children’s Bibles contain the same classic stories from the Old and New Testaments, The Jesus Storybook Bible tells the Story beneath all the stories in the Bible, pointing to Jesus as our Savior. From the Old Testament through the New Testament, as the Story unfolds, children will clearly see that Jesus is at the center of God's great story of salvation—and at the center of their story too.

The 21 Old Testament stories and 23 New Testament stories are brought to life with distinctive bright and colorful illustrations. It is the perfect beginner’s Bible for parents, grandparents, pastors and Sunday school teachers to share the most important story ever told with children.

All day, every day, an invisible war rages around you — unseen, unheard, yet felt throughout every aspect of your life. A devoted, devilish enemy seeks to wreak havoc on everything that matters to you: your heart, your mind, your marriage, your children, your relationships, your resilience, your dreams, your destiny.

But his battle plan depends on catching you unaware and unarmed. If you're tired of being pushed around and caught with your guard down, this study is for you.

The enemy always fails miserably when he meets a woman dressed for the occasion. The Armor of God, more than merely a biblical description of the believer's inventory, is an action plan for putting it on and developing a personalized strategy to secure victory.

ISN'T IT TIME YOU SHED PERFORMANCE-BASED LIVING?
When Alas Wright's childhood family collapsed, he took the blame. As a wounded fourth grader, Alan secretly wondered, "What's wrong with me? How can I become loveable again? "Unconsciously, he made the most devastating--and common--of vows: "I'll do whatever it takes to be loved."
Excelling in sports, earning straight A's, and well-liked by everyone--except himself--Alan had made a childhood commitment to performance-based living, which led to a series of grown-up problems.
Hyper-sensitivity: Why am I so bothered by every criticism?
Self-Doubt: Why do I always question my abilities and motives?
People pleasing: Why do I have a hard time saying no or facing conflict?
Fear of failure: Why do I feel like I have to be perfect?
Self-sabotage: Why can't I celebrate my gifts and accept God's blessings?
Laugh, cry, struggle, relate, and be set free as Alan Wright invites you to discover his simple solution--how to release your pride and shame to Jesus, banish fear, and accept unconditional love and acceptance to live as you were meant to live.
