Prepare to be awestruck at the most reliable, enjoyable, victorious, loving, redemptive, and expressive being in existence…your Creator. This is an invitation to revere God. In Revering God, bestselling author Thaddeus Williams invites you to meet the real, living God, offering profound insight into God’s attributes and practical ways to live a God-centered life, bridging the gap between abstract theology and awe-inspired devotion. Learn to encounter God and worship him in a way that draws you into a deeper state of awe, joy, and reverence for the One who made you.
Sacrifice-Experience a Deeper Way to Love digs into the truth about Christ’s atonement. The truth that Christ had to die to purchase our salvation shows the true meaning of love-and how God can bring us into a right relationship with him in spite of our sin.
The Christian life is not fundamentally about being a moral person, obeying a set of principles, or doing spiritual disciplines. The Christian life is about opening our heart to a relationship with the living God. As we depend on the indwelling Spirit and experience abiding in Christ, we will learn an obedience that comes without the burden of guilt and shame.
The world is broken– more so than we know. But for those who know that Christ is coming to establish a new and perfect order, ours is not just a world to endure but a world to invade. Believers have not been stationed here on earth merely to subsist but to actively subvert the enemy’s attempts at blinding people in unbelief and burying them under heartbreaking loads of human need. The kingdom of God changes all that.

In the gospels, Jesus used parables to teach transformative lessons and convey deep spiritual truths about the kingdom of God. But he often used them to confront and challenge his audience as well, forcing them to open or close their hearts to the kingdom. Jesus understood the power of stories, but there are some things lost in translation when we try to interpret those same stories thousands of years removed from their original context. The unexpected twists and surprises in the parables might be missed by a modern audience because they’re unfamiliar with the underlying points of reference. In Surprised by the Parables, Michelle Lee Barnewall explores the ancient context these parables drew from. These stories of grace reveal many of the mysteries central to God’s character, and understanding the ancient world behind them will help us see the parables from a new perspective.
Authors J. P. Moreland and Klaus Issler illustrate how we are only happy when we pursue a transcendent purpose–something larger than ourselves. This pursuit involves a deeply meaningful relationship with God through a selfless preoccupation with the spiritual disciplines. The Lost Virtue of Happiness takes a fresh, meaningful look at the spiritual disciplines, offering concrete examples of ways you can make them practical and life-transforming.

Think Christianly is about seizing the opportunities we have every day to speak the life Jesus offers into our culture. Tragically, many such opportunities pass us by unclaimed—either because we don’t notice them or we have not prepared ourselves to enter into them. And those around us seem to grow increasingly unwilling to hear anything the church has to say. Jonathan Morrow helps church leaders envision and implement ways for their congregations to “think Christianly” about contemporary questions and to speak in informed, engaging ways.
Join Goggin and Strobel on a global adventure! Eavesdrop as they talk with J.I. Packer, Dallas Willard, Marva Dawn, Eugene Peterson, and others about celebrity pastors who implode under the spotlight, churches that build a brand but lose their purpose, the temptations of power, and Jesus’ seemingly contradictory idea of strength through weakness.
We generally assume that those sitting around us in church share our beliefs. But when our personal convictions are contested by fellow Christians, everything changes. We feel attacked from behind. When other Christians doubt or deny our convictions, we don’t experience it as a mere difference of opinion, but as a violation of an unspoken agreement. Tim Muehlhoff and Rick Langer offer a guide to help Christians navigate disagreements with one another.
