FEATURED BOOKS
Faith
Mountains, Mustard and Everything In Between
Have you ever prayed for something “in faith” but didn’t get it? The Bible says we'll receive whatever we ask in Jesus’ name, but reality doesn’t always work like that. Is the Bible wrong? Of course not. Our understanding is the problem.
The Story of Jesus
You've never read the Bible like this: Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John all combined into one complete chronological story of Jesus' life. Not one detail missing, not one word extra. Packed with footnotes, maps, and cross references to make it all come alive.
Woman (and Man)
What the Bible says about Woman (and a bit about Man)
Let's be real: being a woman isn't easy. Neither is understanding them. If we only realized how God saw us, it would save us all a lifetime of trouble. Women are strong, resilient, beautiful, “very good,” and capable of anything they set their minds to. The two genders perfectly compliment each other and are equally essential to God’s purposes here on earth.
