What happens when the God who was supposed to comfort you feels painfully absent? Grief is never just about what you’ve lost―it’s also about the God you thought you knew. When the bottom falls out, you’re left questioning, disoriented, and wondering if faith even has a place in your pain. Mourning God is for those tired of Christian clichés and quick-fix theology. If you’re wrestling with doubt, grief, or disappointment with God, this book offers the honest, compassionate voice you’ve been seeking.

Biola professor John Marriott and ministry veteran Shawn Wicks have met a lot of people who are troubled by the Bible. Whether it is apparent contradictions in Scripture or the violence depicted in the Old Testament, Scripture presents itself as an obstacle to faith. Many former Christians consistently report that the number one reason they no longer identify as Christians is the Bible itself. Raised in the church but having only a Sunday School level of familiarity with the Bible, former Christians were shocked when they picked it up and read it for themselves.

In today’s chaotic and polarized culture, many people quietly ask, “What difference can I make?” Instead of reacting with frustration or retreating in silence, what if you could reflect the peace of Christ in ways that ease tensions, inspire others, and encourage healthy conversations? In Make Me an Instrument of Peace, thought-leading pastor and author Mark DeYmaz challenges you to rediscover the radical power—and the deep blessings—of authentic peacemaking.

Kristen LaValley grew up a church kid through and through. She said “the sinner’s prayer” before she could write her name―and spent the next few decades trying to prove she meant it; in a body that couldn’t rest, with a mind she didn’t yet understand, under a God she was afraid to disappoint. She learned to perform the kind of faith that got praised: one that hid pain and swallowed questions. In Growing Up Saved, Kristen maps the slow undoing of a faith formed in certainty and what it took to find God in the middle of her unraveling.

Have you found yourself wondering, Will I ever be able to make sense of the disappointments and disasters I've endured? Can I trust God with my pain? Will my life ever be restored? Perhaps you've done everything you can to rebuild the ruins of your life, but true restoration still seems so far off, if not impossible. And She Got Up is a firsthand account of being knocked down by tragedy and loss while relying on the power and presence of Jesus to rise and heal.

Those who walk with Jesus know he promised to one day return to this earth and establish his rule and reign over all things. He even instructed us to look for certain "signs" that would indicate his return was imminent. In fact, the Bible contains more than 2,400 references foretelling this great event! While Jesus said, "about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father" (Matthew 24:26), he was clear that his followers should be watching and waiting for his second coming. How is this done? By continually abiding in the presence of God.

Jesus is still writing your story. Maybe your story feels too messy. Maybe the wounds of your past still haunt you, keeping you stuck in cycles of pain, regret, or doubt. Or maybe you’re just exhausted―longing for purpose and meaning but unsure of how to move forward. But what if the very parts of your story you’d rather forget are the ones God wants to redeem? Mary DeMuth knows what it is to walk through trauma, loss, hurt, and deep brokenness―and find God in the midst of the struggle.

Parents and caregivers who want to raise kids in the faith often feel ill-equipped, especially when it comes to talking about the Bible.

Wonder addresses these pain points by combining creative Bible storytelling for kids, fun and engaging conversation prompts for families, and key contextual information for adults.

Many devout believers have been lured into the classic misunderstanding that Christianity teaches how we must leave earth and go somewhere else to be with God. But this outlook dangerously suggests that God created a world he loves only to abandon it. Nothing could be further from the scriptural truth, N. T. Wright contends. In God’s Homecoming, Wright excavates the forgotten story of God’s original purpose to dwell with us and make his home—and ours—in this new creation.

Growing up the son of a preacher—a traveling evangelist who was an upright man behind the pulpit and a violent husband at home—Stephen McWhirter wanted nothing to do with Christianity. This darkness led to eleven years of rebellion, addiction, and brokenness.
