Daniel Prayer Bible Study Guide Plus Streaming Video
$22.99Do you long for a more powerful prayer life? Do you grow discouraged when your prayers don’t seem to change anything or allow you to hear God’s voice?
In this six-session video Bible study workshop (video access included), Anne Graham Lotz presents a biblical approach to prayer that will help you:
*Learn to listen for God’s voice,
*Know Him in a personal relationship,
*and Communicate with Him through His Word.By taking a close look at the life of Daniel, Anne unpacks the prayer he prayed in Daniel 9. Following the pattern of Daniel’s original prayer as a model for how we speak to our Creator, she helps us develop a more meaningful and powerful prayer life.
For an entire generation, Daniel’s people had been held in captivity and separated from their homeland. But when Daniel read a prophecy in which God said He would restore His people to Jerusalem after seventy years, he claimed that promise and cried out for to the Lord to bring it to pass. Daniel’s example of praying God’s Word back to Him is what Anne calls “reversed thunder.”
In this six-session study, Anne explains how we can reverse the thunder until Heaven is moved and we see real change in our own lives and the lives of those we’re praying for.

Revelation Bible Study Book With Video Access (Student/Study Guide)
$41.65Perhaps no other book of the Bible feels as inaccessible and as intimidating to us as the very last one. The book of Revelation overflows with images and ideas that confound our modern ears. But if all Scripture is God-breathed and profitable, we should assume Revelation is as accessible and helpful as any other book of the Bible. Why don’t we see it that way?
Two thousand years ago, John’s Revelation was circulated and read aloud among seven churches in Asia Minor. Those who heard the letter understood it and drew encouragement from its message. The same can be true for you today. Over 10 sessions of verse-by-verse Bible study, Jen Wilkin helps you discover how the last book of the Bible-the culmination of God’s great story-speaks both a steadying word of assurance and a strong call to endure to the church in every age.

*10 video teaching sessions unpacking truths found throughout the study and offering additional insights, available via redemption code printed in the Bible study book
*9 weeks of personal study featuring illuminating questions to help you focus on and understand Scripture

$18.99Help your church thrive in a post-everything world.
The world is a very different place from what it was just a few years ago. Today’s post-everything world is arguably more divisive, political, indifferent, and impatient than ever.

Learn disciple-making principles that are as straightforward as they are timely. Whether you’re a seasoned leader or just starting out, don’t miss this opportunity to emerge as a stronger, healthier, and more evangelistic church.

Ephesians Bible Study Book With Video Access (Student/Study Guide)
$36.65Who am I? The question of identity is always in the back of our minds, and it’s currently at the forefront of social conversations. But the first question we need to ask is: Who is God? Then we can begin to consider, And who am I in light of who He is? In his letter to the Ephesians, Paul describes God as a merciful and forgiving Father who unites us in Christ and empowers us to live by the Spirit. We’re adopted children and fellow citizens with the saints because of God’s loving pursuit on our behalf.
In this 7-session study, Bible teachers, authors, and friends Jackie Hill Perry, Jasmine Holmes, and Melissa Kruger walk through the book of Ephesians, examining the invaluable truths Paul’s letter holds for us today. Along the way, they’ll help us understand the riches of our inheritance as daughters of our heavenly Father, as well as what it means to walk in a manner worthy of our calling.
Video Sessions:
Session 1: Introduction (11:14)-Authors Jackie Hill Perry, Jasmine Holmes, and Melissa Kruger welcome you to the Ephesians Bible study, provide an overview for this book of the Bible, and explain what you can expect from their conversation-based videos.
Session 2: Ephesians 1: Praise & Prayer (41:50)-In this video, the authors discuss Ephesians 1 together. Their conversation includes Paul’s detailed list of spiritual blessings for those who are in Christ, as well as Paul’s personal prayer for the Ephesian Christians.
Session 3: Ephesians 2: Alive & Unified (33:17)-Belonging to Christ transforms every aspect of our lives. This is one of the key takeaways from this video session as the authors unpack Paul’s words in Ephesians 2. They also discuss how God’s grace means we aren’t left dead in our sins, but we’re given new life and invited into relationship with God and His people.
Session 4: Ephesians 3: Mystery & Power (34:41)-In this video session, the authors spend time discussing the beautiful mystery Paul describes in Ephesians 3-the expansive reach of God’s love-and they consider how Paul’s example of prayer for others can inspire our own prayers.
Session 5: Ephesians 4: Unity & Maturity (33:53)-Paul’s letter takes a noticeable shift in Ephesians 4. He moves from teaching about who God is to teaching about how to live for Him. Among the topics discussed in this video are the unity and diversity of the body of Christ and distinguishing characteristics of the life of a child of God.

Jonah Storyteller Bible Study Book
$16.99Jonah is an epic tale involving a man on a mission, three days and nights in the belly of a great fish, and a city experiencing unexpected renewal.
It is short and sweet. But the man on a mission we meet in chapter 1-who is saved from a fish in chapter 2 and boldly calls a violent city to turn from its ways and follow the living God-ends the story pouting under a tree.
It’s an odd conclusion. But as we zoom in on the story, we see that Jonah shows us a seeking God whose relentless pursuit of us is at the heart of who He is. God isn’t just for “those people out there.” He’s for all of us.
Features:

Come Home Bible Study Book With Video Access
$21.99We long for home.
Home should be a place of love and laughter. Shared meals. Special moments. A place of comfort, rest, and safety. Yet the homes we make always seem to fall short of satisfying our longing. They’re imperfect, transitory, and prone to fracture. People leave them. Intruders enter them. Crises shake them. Too often, instead of peace and security, home is a place of brokenness and pain. These failings of our earthly homes expose in us a longing for a better one. The good news is that there is a remedy for our homesickness.
In this 7-session study, Caroline Saunders follows the theme of home through the Bible. From humanity’s first home to our eternal one, we’ll see God drawing near to abide with us. We’ll find that even the best aspects of home here are just a glimmer of what God is building for us through Christ. This study will affirm that our longing for home is good and purposeful, pointing us to our truest home which is found in Him.
Features:
*7 video teaching sessions discussing truths found throughout the study, available via redemption code printed in the Bible study book
*6 weeks of personal study to be completed between the 7 group sessions

Unhurried Pastor : Redefining Productivity For A More Sustainable Ministry
$17.99Being a pastor is not a regular 9-to-5 job. There is an unending list of important things to do as you seek to serve others sacrificially. The demands of ministry make it difficult to find a healthy rhythm of life and work, and can leave you running on empty. How can we develop a sustainable pattern of ministry that both honors the Lord and the people we care for and that will also protect us from burnout?
Ronnie Martin and Brian Croft have each spent decades pastoring churches and supporting ministry leaders. Here they encourage fellow shepherds to embrace a more present-focused, unhurried approach to ministry. They show how this starts with accepting their humanity, pursuing humility and remembering the hope they have in Christ. They also exhort pastors to fuel their ministry with self-awareness, prayer and contemplation of Jesus.
After giving a framework for this approach to ministry, the authors offer lots of practical advice regarding prioritisation, managing schedules and cultivating supportive friendships.
Read this book to deepen your joy, help yourself to serve others more effectively and continue serving God in ministry for many years to come.

Job Bible Study Book (Student/Study Guide)
$16.99Job is a book of the Bible that many pick up to ask and answer big existential questions-Why does God allow suffering?Is there any purpose in life?If God is good, why do bad things happen?
While the book touches on those questions, it doesn’t answer them with clean memorable statements that we’re eager to quote or apply to our own suffering. In fact, Job gives us something better than answers; it gives us God.
The book of Job isn’t a how-to manual for navigating tough times, rather it’s a book that leads us to the very feet of the God who holds the universe in His hands and sustains us in our suffering.

Good Kids Gone Bad
$17.99Good Kids Gone Bad: Straight Talk from a Prodigal Who Came Home focuses on themes of addiction prevention and recovery geared towards caregivers, parents or individuals caring for those caught in the struggles of substance abuse. The text ties in practical and anecdotal stories along with how God can do the miraculous in helping to change and redeem lives caught in addiction.
Author Joe Maxim, has firsthand experience dealing with the darkness of addiction. Both he and his wife Chris, have sought to help others recover from their personal battles through their organization Young Overcomers United (YOU).

For those who may require additional care, steps to recovery are available, and it’s here that Maxim spends more time to better deal with this vital, difficult work. Maxim mentions, “All of the work I do in my ministry is in recovery. While you may not share my calling to help hundreds of young people recover from addictions, you may very well have an addict in your life who you long to see set free from the chains of addiction that bind them.”
This book from Joe Maxim is passion project that will be a great aid in ministering to the souls, minds, and bodies of those dealing with addiction and the people that care for them.

Acts Bible Study Book (Student/Study Guide)
$16.99The book commonly known as “Acts” is short for “Acts of the Apostles” because it prominently features Jesus’s called, gifted, and set apart messengers to expand His church. But this title is misleading.
The main character of Acts is not the Apostles but the Holy Spirit. Behind and beyond all the work the Apostles do is the third person of the Trinity, God the Spirit empowering their work and causing it to flourish.
As we read through the first 12 chapters of Acts, we join with them and with the Spirit, discovering the Spirit-empowered works they performed and entering the story with them-a story that is still in process today.

Ruth Bible Study Book (Student/Study Guide)
$16.99Many of the stories of the Bible involve seismic events-worldwide floods, warring kings, an entire people being taken into exile. But other stories are small and personal. Tucked into the beginning of the Old Testament is one such story in the book of Ruth.
When we meet Ruth, her husband has died, and she is traveling with her mother-in-law to a land that is not her own. Though the circumstances seem dire, they are not beyond God’s control.
The book of Ruth invites us to wait and hope along with the characters as we wait and hope for our redemption. Through Ruth we find a God who is always at work behind the scenes ready to show his faithfulness.

Reckoning With Power
$19.99History is clear: Whenever the church has aligned itself with worldly, coercive power, it ends up on the wrong side of important justice issues.
But when the church cooperates with God’s power through his presence among the least powerful, its witness for Jesus transforms the world into a better place.
In Reckoning with Power, David Fitch unpacks the difference between worldly power, or power over others, and God’s power, which engages not in coercion but in love, reconciliation, grace, forgiveness, and healing.
In a world where we can see the abuses of power everywhere–in our homes, schools, governments, and churches–Fitch teaches readers how to discern power and avoid its abuses and traumas. By learning from the church’s historical pitfalls, Fitch empowers Christians to relinquish worldly power and make space for God to disrupt and transform our culture for his kingdom.

Sermon On The Mount Bible Study Book Revised And Expanded With Video Access (Stu
$41.65In His sweeping depiction of kingdom citizenship, Jesus utters some of the most familiar passages in all of Scripture. Most of us have only encountered the Sermon on the Mount in fragments, considering its subdivisions as complete teachings in their own right-a study on blessedness; a reflection on the Lord’s Prayer; a discussion of religious devotion, money, ambition, and relationships.
What if we navigated these three chapters in Matthew as they were originally heard? What if we read them as one cohesive, well-ordered message, intended to challenge us to think differently about what it means to be a follower of Jesus?
This 9-session study will give you the opportunity to do just that. Come and learn from Jesus, just as His disciples did. First released in 2014, this study is now updated with new teaching videos from Jen Wilkin.

Galatians Bible Study Book (Student/Study Guide)
$16.99Freedom is something everyone wants but few truly experience. It’s also understood differently by various people and cultures. But what does the Bible mean when it says that we’re free? After all, it is “for freedom” that Christ set us free.
The kind of freedom that Jesus offers is not the absence of constraint, or license, or personal autonomy. It’s a deeper and more liberating freedom. It’s the freedom from the slavery of sin, shame, and the law. It’s the power that unites us to Christ and allows us to serve others in love. It’s the settled confidence that comes from knowing we are adopted children of the King of the universe. It’s what all the world wants that Jesus promised and is giving us daily in the gospel.

Mastering Ministry : Key Principles For Every Pastor
$12.99It seems nothing completely prepares you to be a pastor. Education and training certainly help, but some things you simply must learn through the trial and error of personal experience. Or do you?

*Discover seven ministry-defining values to move from floundering to flourishing;
*Learn practical time management strategies to flatten the frenzied pace; and
*Explore over 30 ministry-related topics to face difficult issues with finesse.While most traditional pastoral resources assume a one-pastor- one-church model, Mastering Ministry recognizes pastors today are often responsible for multiple congregations and includes pointers from the author’s book The Multi-Church Pastor: A Manual for Training Leadership in a Multi- Church Setting.
Whether you are a new or seasoned pastor of a single congregation or several, you will find Mastering Ministry to be a valuable resource as you impact your community for Christ.

As For Me Bible Study Book With Video Access (Student/Study Guide)
$20.99“As for me, I will tell about him forever; I will sing praise to the God of Jacob.”
Psalm 75:9From songs of praise to cries of lament and everything in-between, the book of Psalms captures the wide range of emotions in life. The psalmists paint a picture of a relationship with God that is filled with delays, disappointments, surprises, and triumphs. Through it all, their words model an incredible resolve to keep their eyes on God. Instead of being swallowed up by the darkness of their emotions and circumstances, they persevered in grabbing hold of God’s unfailing love and faithfulness.
In this 7-session Bible study, author and singer Adrienne Camp invites you to join her on a journey through the book of Psalms. Gain a deeper understanding of who God is and be encouraged to hold on to Him no matter what is happening around you. Let the psalms become the prayers you carry with you into every moment of every day, so that you, too, can say with confidence, “As for me, I will worship and serve the Lord no matter what.”

Raised To Stay
$18.99An honest exploration of disappointment with the Church, Raised to Stay is for anyone weary of God’s people but longing to keep their faith in God.
God might seem silent right now. God’s people might seem not worth the wounds. But hold on as Natalie Runion embarks on a journey for all who are wandering, wondering, and wrestling. Together, we will move toward trusting God again, knowing that even though Christian community may fail us, the love of God never fails.
When we say yes to God, we don’t say yes to church politics, ladder climbing, or burnout. We say yes to Jesus. We say yes to hope. We say yes to much that we can still embrace. Through honest words and deeply personal story, Runion challenges us to be part of a generation known for the passionate pursuit of Christ. To be remembered for loving one another, forgiving one another, and persevering with one another in our hunger for God.
We aren’t quitters. We are the stayers.

1 And 2 Thessalonians For You
$17.99We’ve been saved by Jesus… so what’s next? How do we discern good teaching from bad, what does it look like to grow in holiness, and what should our expectations be for the future? Find answers to those questions in the warm, instructive letters Paul wrote to the Thessalonian church.
Pastor and professor Ligon Duncan unpacks these two letters verse by verse, teaching us about Christ’s future return and showing us what it means to live in the light of that, whether we’re new Christians, seasoned ministers of the gospel, or somewhere in between. Along the way we see why Scripture is so important; learn to find reasons for thankfulness; clarify our beliefs about death, judgment, and eternity; and witness Paul’s deeply pastoral attitude toward his readers.
This accessible, absorbing expository guide is less academic and more applied than a traditional commentary. This makes it a great resource for personal devotion, as well as useful for leading small-group studies or for sermon preparation.

Sabina Participants Guide (Student/Study Guide)
$10.99As a young couple, Richard and Sabina Wurmbrand lived as atheists and hedonists, pursuing every pleasure afforded them and thinking little of God. But God had other plans, calling them to repentance, great suffering, and a life of faithful service. The Wurmbrand’s obedience, along with the testimonies of seven women who, like Sabina, remained obedient to Christ at great cost, will inspire group-study participants to evaluate their own faithfulness and obedience to Christ. This six-session, video-based group study features scenes from the film Sabina: Tortured for Christ, the Nazi Years. As biblical disciples, we are called to walk in obedience to Christ, offering ourselves as living sacrifices in the pursuit of God’s glory and eternal purposes at any cost. The question each of us must answer daily is, “Am I being obedient in what I know Christ has commanded?”

Next Gen Faith
$18.99When the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on earth? (Luke 18:8)
Jesus’s question is one that should bother all Christians. Increasing numbers of people don’t go to church. Only 4 percent of those born between 1998 and 2013 have a biblical worldview. The rest don’t believe in the Bible, absolute moral truth, or a loving, all-powerful Creator. They don’t even believe in the concept of sin.
We have failed. We have not taken to heart the biblical admonishment to pass on our faith from one generation to the next.
Yet youth pastor Jeff Grenell believes that once American teens and young adults discover that God is even more amazing than Stranger Things, “they will be hooked.”
He notes, “Our world is familiar with the supernatural, but the church is foreign to it. If this changes in the church today, we may have one of the best apologetic tools to reach this generation because the supernatural is in the DNA of the church and its message. Most American teenagers and youth culture are drawn to the spectacular and the spiritual.”
Jeff has written Next Gen Faith: 12 Spiritual Practices for Youth in an effort to reverse the godless trend among the next generations. Written in the vein of the classic Christian book The Celebration of Discipline by Richard Foster, Next Gen Faith is designed to provide key steps for spiritual formation for both Christian adults who work with youth as well as teens and young adults themselves.

Mental Health And Your Church
$16.99Many people are struggling with mental-health conditions, exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic and life in our image-conscious culture. Statistics tell us that, worldwide, one in six of us will have experienced a mental-health struggle in the past week, and serious depression is the second-leading cause of disability (Mental Health Foundation).
That means there are brothers and sisters in our church families battling with thoughts, feelings, impulses and even voices that distract, drag down and nudge them towards despair. But when it comes to helping, it can be tricky to know where to begin, especially if we have very little knowledge of mental illnesses and are afraid of making things worse by saying and doing the wrong things.
This wise, compassionate and practical book is written by Steve Midgley, psychiatrist and Executive Director of Biblical Counselling UK, and Helen Thorne, Director of Training and Resources at Biblical Counselling UK. It will help readers understand and respond with biblical wisdom to people who are struggling with their mental health.
While acknowledging the importance of liaising responsibly with medics and counsellors, this book focuses on equipping readers to play their part in making churches places where those who struggle with mental-health conditions are welcomed, understood, nurtured and supported: a foretaste of the new creation.
This is a useful book for anyone who cares for others pastorally: pastors, elders, small-group leaders and congregation members.

Welcome : Loving Your Church By Making Space For Everyone
$16.99Walking into church can be intimidating, whether for the first time or after a period of absence, whether you are a non-believer or a believer. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if your church was a place where everyone received a warm welcome? A place where newcomers can quickly feel at home and where non-believers receive the welcome of God’s people alongside the welcome of Jesus?

She also gives practical advice, drawing on good practice from churches around the world in a range of situations. In a world of division, individualism and isolation, readers will see that their church can witness to Christ by being a place of welcome, community and connection.
Chapters include how Jesus welcomes us, the impact of welcoming in the early church, the effect of being siblings in Christ, how to welcome beyond Sunday, helpful systems and strategies, how our joy in Christ causes us to be outward-looking, and mirroring the glorious vision set out in Revelation.
Whether you’re a pastor looking to encourage your congregation to welcome others or a church member wanting to see unbelievers come to faith and help everyone feel part of the family, this book is for you.

Gather : Loving Your Church As You Celebrate Christ Together
$16.99Why do we meet on Sundays?
Now that technology allows us to access services remotely, many see little need to meet face to face every week. Others think that because we have a personal relationship with Jesus as Christians, church is an optional add-on. For some, they know deep down that there is a reason why gathering on Sundays is important, but they are weary and don’t feel excited about it. So what is the purpose of corporate worship, and what is our role in it?
In this book, Tony Merida highlights how in-person Sunday gatherings are central to God’s plans and to our faith and joy. He reminds believers of their privileges as citizens of heaven, members of God’s family and stones in God’s temple.
Readers will see how each part of a church service (preaching, praying, singing, baptism, Lord’s Supper and building each other up in conversations) are ways to enjoy and share God’s grace, and are therefore essential for spiritual endurance. You’ll also be reminded that your presence in corporate worship matters because you have a part to play in encouraging your brothers and sisters and spurring them to love and good deeds:
“And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.” (Hebrews 10:24-25)
Read this book to renew your understanding and enjoyment of going to church and to be excited by the ways in which your presence can encourage others.
