Reserve Your Spot on the Tour for Erica Vetsch's The Debutante's Code

Image
I'm so excited to be able to help launch Erica Vetsch's new series!   Click here to claim your copy of The Debutante's Code ! Sign-ups are now open for  The Debutante's Code  by Erica Vetsch!  This is the first release in the Thorndike & Swann Regency Mysteries series from Kregel.    The tour dates will be November 16-December 10. Because I'm sending this announcement out earlier than usual, I won't be sending out emails about who made the tour around September 30. I will try to send out the email sooner, if I can.  I do expect a full tour plus some, so there's a chance I may not be able to get everyone on the tour. Two of the screeners that I use that might keep you off the list are: 1) missing links from previous tours and 2) a lack of regular posts (if you haven't posted regularly in months, for example). So, just make sure you're current with turning in your links and in posting on your blog.  When I send out all the details ahead of the tour

Click here to request a digital review copy or sign-up via the form below.     “Let’s read the Acrostic of God together to help you to make him your awesome treasure.   We’ll read it, rap it, or sing it—it’s fun!   Till Jesus comes back and his kingdom has come. . .   He’s the Alpha and Omega, from A to Z;   his beauty and his glory we were made to see.”   The Acrostic of God  is a joy to read and reread, and a wonderful tool to help kids absorb eternal truth about God.   By giving children an alphabetical list of the titles and attributes of God written with a rhyming beat, Jonathan Gibson and Timothy Brindle make  The Acrostic of God  fun to read and easy to memorize. Each characteristic, A to Z, weaves together a beautiful picture of God.  Using the alphabet to teach about God has a rich history in the Bible, especially in the Psalms and Lamentations. Several of the psalms—notably Psalm 119—begin with letters of the Hebrew alphabet, forming an acrostic that spells out the entire alp

Reviewer Sign-ups Are Open for The Gospel Shaped Leader

Image
Click here   to request a digital review copy or fill out the form at the bottom of the post. How do you grow as a leader in the church? Should you read church growth books? Take a few seminars? Or just wing it? Scott Thomas, former President of Acts 29, church planter, and pastor has a different approach. He unpacks how leaning on Jesus empowers not just your teaching, but also grows the humility and biblical wisdom you need to lead.   Through many years of ministry experience, Thomas has seen the importance of the “soft skills” of leadership—empathy, kindness, and listening—and how not developing those skills negatively impacts churches. Yet simply knowing the need for what the world calls “emotional intelligence,” doesn’t guarantee growth in these areas. But understanding and applying the gospel will bring transformation.   Thomas gives practical, specific help in navigating spiritual and emotional challenges that leaders commonly encounter and unpacks how a gospel-shaped response b

Scroll to the bottom of this post to enter! My bloggers and I are sharing about the best-selling release from Rabbi Jason Sobel, Mysteries of the Messiah , available from Thomas Nelson. Read more about the book and author, even an excerpt from the book, then enter to win a copy of your own below! About the book: Are you settling for half the story? Highlighting connections that have been hidden from non-Jewish eyes, Rabbi Jason Sobel will connect the dots between the Old and New Testament, helping you see the Bible with clarity as God intended . Most people—even people of faith—do not understand how the Bible fits together. Too many Christians accept half an inheritance, content to embrace merely the New Testament, while Jewish people may often experience the same by embracing only the Old Testament. But God has an intricate plan and purpose for both the Old and the New. In  Mysteries of the Messiah , Rabbi Jason Sobel reveals the many connections in Scripture hidden in plain sight. Kn
