The evangelical church is hemorrhaging. Over 40 million Americans have dechurched in the last 25 years alone, and multiple generations have been raised to believe the most spiritual thing they can do is follow God by following their heart—right out of the church. Yet, this shift is happening right as society is hitting record levels of loneliness, stress, and anxiety. In The Reason for Church, pastor Brad Edwards connects the dots of our current church crisis and provides compelling reasons to come back.

Kill what’s killing you. Every fiber of you aches to distance yourself from something holding you back—that one thing that is killing you. Pastor Karl Clauson understands.

In Killing Sin, Karl is honest about his own personal battles and draws from his decades of experience helping people conquer sin to show us the pathway to freedom. Sin separates us from God, what Jesus saves us from, and what the Holy Spirit gives us power to overcome.

RESURRECTING JUDAS is a story the author believes was spiritually received—one that dares to challenge the long-standing stereotypical vilification of Judas of Keriyot. Was Judas truly a traitor? Research dating back to early biblical translations suggests otherwise. Specifically, early Bible translations before the third century never used the word “betray”, but rather, “hand over”.

Now with a fresh cover! The over 250,000-selling Grace Walk has helped thousands of believers leave behind the "manic-depressive" Christian walk: either running around trying to perform to be acceptable to God--or thinking they've failed Him again and wondering if they'll ever measure up. Living the grace walk gets Christians off this religious roller coaster. Using his own journey from legalism into grace, Steve McVey illustrates the foundational, biblical truths of who believers are in Jesus Christ and how they can let Him live His life through them each day.

Give God a Year is more than a book—it’s an invitation. A life-changing challenge to surrender fully, trust boldly, and step into a faith-filled journey like never before.

Ask most anyone and they would say they desire honest, authentic, "real" relationships. Yet few of us experience the soul-level connection we long for with other human beings, let alone God. Fear and pride drive us to mask our truest selves, leaving us perpetually disconnected, hidden, and lonely. God made us for something profoundly better: an open-hearted, courageous honesty that liberates us from a life of guardedness and self-protection and has the power to radically transform our approach to Christian community.

Saving Face is a meditation on the divine face, and the meaning we get from the faces of others as we are trying to find our own. Deeply personal and contemplative, this book originated in a time of rising from disillusionment while still aching for a church. Today the church is in a state of transition. We see many leaving and deconstructing from harm, hypocrisy, abuse of power, and the absence of Christ and his love. It is a time of revealing. But Christ is not absent.

Most of us have a sense that there may be more out there than only what we can see or touch—not necessarily a God but something. You could call this intuition "somethingism." This book offers you the opportunity to begin to explore your own sense of more. Imaginative and thoughtful chapters reflect on our experiences, considering the possibility that our sense of something out there correlates to a someone who not only exists but can be encountered and known in the person of Jesus.

Five college students pitch a tent by their car one dark night, not realizing they’ve set up camp by a military runway. They awake from a deep sleep to the shaking of the earth and a roar like mountains falling―the sound of a military transport plane taking off right over their heads. Can you imagine the visceral terror of that moment? For author and biblical counselor Edward Welch, it was a glimpse of what the Israelites experienced in God’s presence at Mount Sinai.

LET GOD DISRUPT YOUR WORLD AND SHOW YOU WHAT HE CAN DO. When we open the book of Acts, we’re struck by the gap between our experience and the movement described in its pages. The book of Acts calls us back to the beginning—to a movement born in obscurity, captivated by God’s grace, devoted to prayer and the spread of his Word. A movement that was bold in persecution, generous in love, alive with God’s presence, and on the move from Jerusalem to the ends of the earth. What if Luke isn’t just telling us, “This is how it was,” but also saying, “This is how it can be”?

What if it wasn't all on you? What if God wanted to not only bear your burdens, but change you and work on your behalf as you engage with him and labor in ministry?
