Unchained by Noel Jesse Heikkinen
Maybe Christianity isn't
what you think it is . . . .
The apostle Paul declared,
"For freedom Christ has set us free" (Galatians 5:1). If this is
true, why isn't freedom the focus of how we talk about God and live out our
faith?
Yet mistakes from our past
haunt us. Sinful urges shame us. We hear over and over that we must pursue a
standard of living that seems so unreachable. Just thinking about something as
basic as prayer makes us feel guilty, since we're sure we're not doing it
"right" or often enough. God created us for freedom, yet we feel anything
but free.
Noel Heikkinen shows us
how to have a robust faith that celebrates our freedom in Christ without
compromising our holiness as God's followers. Unchained turns us to the person and
work of Jesus Christ as our source of freedom---not just his work 2,000 years
ago but also what he is doing right now.
Discover
what true freedom in Christ really means!

Lost and Found by Kendra Fletcher
The "right"
homeschooling philosophy. The "right" brand of theology. The
"right" meal-planning, home-managing, keep-it-all-together parenting.
Kendra Fletcher, homeschooling mom of eight, had it all "right,"
until it all fell apart. In the course
of eighteen months, Kendra found her baby in a coma, ran over her
five-year-old, and nearly lost her eight-year-old to a septic ruptured
appendix. Lost
and Found is the story of how God used those events to transform
her family's self-righteous religion into freedom in Christ.
Fletcher's debut book is
the gripping true story of how God used suffering to save her family from empty
religion. As wave after wave of crisis hit, the Fletchers discovered that
getting religion "right" wasn't a good substitute for a living
relationship with a loving God. Through their suffering, they learned about
misplaced identities and false hope, and they threw themselves wholly into the
arms of Jesus---where they found the grace they needed.
Fletcher,
a well-known writer and conference speaker in Christian homeschooling circles,
addresses the quiet legalism that so easily infiltrates Christian communities
and exposes the dangers of focusing our hopes on the "right" ways of
worship, work, and family life. More
than a memoir, Lost
and Found invites all of us to give up the things that hold us
in bondage and find our value, worth, significance, hope, and identity in
Christ alone.

out what happens when you lose religion and find grace instead!

Welcome to College by Jonathan Morrow
Do
you have a teenager headed to college soon? Do you work in youth ministry? Are
you headed to college yourself?
What will you do with your
life? Full of new friends and new experiences, college can be both exciting and
overwhelming. And as a Christian, you have serious issues to resolve for
yourself and answer for your friends. Decisions you make now will shape your
future. Are you ready to navigate college life?
Jonathan Morrow tackles
the tough questions you'll encounter, including:
- How do you grow
spiritually and follow Jesus on campus?
- How do you manage your
time to both study well and have fun?
- What about peer pressure
and alcohol? Dating and sex?
- How do you deal with
doubts and challenges to your faith?
- With so many beliefs out
there, how do you know Christianity is really true?
Each chapter of the second edition has been updated, and the author has
included a new chapter on Christianity, homosexuality, and the Bible. Grounded
in biblical truth and supported by his own extensive work with students,
Morrow's quick, easy-to-read chapters offer excellent advice for every new
college student.

Unsinkable Faith by Tracie Miles
For many women, remaining
optimistic about life and positive about themselves is a constant battle. For
others, negativity is something that sneaks up from time to time. Either way,
once those dark thoughts come into the mind, it's hard to see the light
anymore. Even though women know that negative thoughts don't come from God,
it's often difficult to escape them.
Proverbs 31 Ministries
speaker and author, Tracie Miles, offers hope for women who struggle with
negativity through Unsinkable
Faith. Each chapter explores personal stories from Tracie and
others, showing how they were able to rise above their circumstances by
transforming and renewing their minds.
Be challenged to
embrace God's truth and find tools to be a more positive, optimistic
person!
