Imagine what it would have been like to be a follower of Jesus; first-century Christians walked away from their old lives just to be where He was.

The Body of Christ today doesn't understand a crucial aspect of the Abrahamic covenant: we have a calling, gifting, and command to influence places and people in authority in order to impact culture with Kingdom values. Christians are called to bless all nations and we have divine power within us to impact nations. The book will address the difference between prayer and intercession as well as the impact of God's permissive and perfect will on how we pray.

In this expanded second edition of the bestselling Get to the Point!, Joel Schwartzberg draws on his decades of experience as a strategic communications executive and public speaking coach to deliver a masterclass in high-impact communications for the digital age.

You feel it—that quiet ache for something more in your walk with Jesus. That sense there must be deeper waters, higher heights, closer communion than what you've known. Louis Trinca-Pasat felt it too. After shedding his NFL defensive tackle weight and identity, he discovered what centuries of believers knew but modern Christianity often overlooks: the transformative power of biblical fasting. Through his twenty-one to forty-day fasts, he encountered Jesus with an intensity that shattered every preconception of what intimacy with God could be.

However fervent our first love for the Lord, we are all prone to drift. Our hearts can grow cold and our faith become a mere formality before we've even realized. Thankfully there's an answer, and it's the same regardless of our feelings or situation: we need to stare long and hard at the profundity of Christ's love poured out for us on the cross. But it's often helpful to have a guide come alongside us, and that's exactly what Paul Mallard does in his exploration of how Jesus fulfills Psalm 22. He reminds us that our joy in Christ comes not from performance but from proximity.

Drawing from the full sweep of Scripture, Paul Mallard answers common questions about heaven and provides glimpses of its glory, encouraging believers to find comfort, purpose and hope in the promise of eternity with Christ.

What do you live for? The world’s answer is to live for yourself. But the Bible directs us to a higher pursuit: the honor of God. Apart from this central priority, even many Christians are left aimless and unmotivated. But as we realize who God is in all His holy majesty, we delight in our ultimate purpose of bringing glory to His name. In this audiobook, Rev. Grant Castleberry presents a God-centered vision for life. After surveying Scripture’s teaching on the honor of God, he hones in on the shame of sin and the grace of Jesus Christ in delivering us from dishonor.

Common models of spiritual transformation are proving inadequate to address "the sanctification gap." In recent decades, however, a new paradigm of human and spiritual development has been emerging from multiple fields. It's supported by a critical mass of evidence, all pointing to what 

The letters of the Apostle Paul are central witnesses to the Christian faith and to the earliest history of Christianity. And yet, when students, preachers, and others turn to Paul, they find many things "hard to understand" (2 Peter 3:16) in these ancient writings. James Prothro's new book aims to help listeners see the Apostle's faith and hope at work as he evangelized the nations. Steeped in up-to-date scholarship and a passion for the gospel Paul preached, Prothro draws listeners into Paul's life and letters in order to help them hear the Apostle's voice.
