Holiness is not reserved for the few. It is the quiet, daily work of any disciple willing to walk toward God. In A Mormon’s Four-Step Journey to Holiness, Kent Eyner Nielsen writes as one laborer to another—not from a pulpit, but from the same road. Drawing on scripture, latter-day revelation, and hard-won experience, he lays out a practical path: how to find purpose, meet trials as instruments instead of abandonment, and align heart, habits, and will with the word of God. This is for the disciple carrying the form of godliness without its power. Not a program. A four-step pattern.

What if the deepest longing of the human soul is not simply to follow God —but to live entirely within His Will? In Living in the Divine Will: Returning to the Purpose of Our Creation, author and speaker David Russell invites listeners on a profound spiritual journey into the very heart of God’s original design for humanity.

On Sunday mornings, is it about going to Church or going to worship? Oftentimes, it is easy to go through the motions of discipleship and leave it at that. We go to church, attend our meetings, and carry out our callings. But where does Christ fall into all of this? Without Him at the center, even these righteous duties can overwhelm rather than build —leaving us spiritually hungry. This book is an invitation to refocus —to move beyond habit and rediscover a living, sustaining relationship with Jesus Christ. True spiritual renewal does not come from doing more, but from drawing closer to Him.

God's original design for families is under unceasing attack. If the family structure is less stable and more dysfunctional than it was forty years ago, what will it look like forty years from now?

There's a growing frustration among believers who know church-as-usual isn't working. Underneath the crowds and programs, they know something's missing. Confronting this pervasive performance-driven ministry, apostolic leader Isaac Watson issues a bold call to the modern church: to restore...

Macht es einen Unterschied, ob ein Christ betet oder nicht? Verändert das Gebet überhaupt etwas? Auch wenn unsere Gebete keine Sinnesänderung bei Gott bewirken können, möchte Gott sie als Mittel gebrauchen, um seinen Willen zu tun. Wir können zuversichtlich sein, dass Gebet etwas verändert – auch unser eigenes Herz. In diesem Buch zeigt R.C. Sproul, welche große Bedeutung das Gebet im Leben eines Christen hat. Er fordert uns auf, freudig und hoffnungsvoll vor Gott zu treten.

Amid the legacies of remarkable figures and renowned Church leaders, it’s easy to wonder whether humble, everyday acts of faith really make a difference.

This powerful collection of stories celebrates faithful disciples who, though they may be considered ordinary, have contributed to the building up of the kingdom in extraordinary ways.

The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass is the highest act of worship on earth, the unbloody renewal of Calvary, and the source and summit of the Christian life. Yet for many Catholics today, the liturgy feels familiar but not fully understood. Something essential has been obscured. In Ad Orientem: The Direction that Changes Everything, Peter Kwasniewski addresses one of the most overlooked but revealing elements of Catholic worship: the direction in which the Church prays. This is not a question of preference or aesthetics. It is a theological reality. The way we stand reveals whom we worship.

The Second Edition, Shorter and Sweeter. For generations, Pentecostals have built their theology around getting out. The rapture, the tribulation, the inevitable collapse of everything -- this framework has shaped how millions of Christians spend their money, raise their children, and decide whether to build anything worth keeping. What few have stopped to ask is whether any of it is actually what the Bible teaches. The most effective Pentecostal churches in North America don't actually operate like dispensationalists. They build.

When lifelong activist and celebrated author Maggie Helwig became an Anglican priest, she brought both her hard-earned social justice wisdom and her incomparable literary prowess to the role. Where the homily–the weekly act of taking biblical texts and making them speak to one's time, place, and community–can easily become a rote exercise, Helwig takes the language and narrative very seriously. The homilies in this book, selected from those presented to her congregation over the last five years, talk about the Bible, and by extension, the world, through both an activist and a literary lens.
