Gradually Then Suddenly
$26.00
True success doesn’t happen overnight. The New York Times bestselling author of Win the Day reveals a life-changing truth about achievement: God is building you up steadily so you’re ready for overnight success.
“How did you go bankrupt?” Ernest Hemingway wrote in The Sun Also Rises. The answer? “Two ways: gradually then suddenly.” In this illuminating book, Mark Batterson reveals that this principle applies not just to failure, but to every area of life–especially success. Readers will identify the consistent, faithful steps they need to be taking now to set the stage for future breakthroughs.
Drawing from biblical wisdom, historical examples, and his nearly thirty years of leadership experience, Batterson shows how success happens at the speed of a seed rather than the speed of light. With compelling stories and profound insights, he demonstrates that what appears to be an “overnight” success is actually the culmination of consistent choices and persistent faith.
Gradually, Then Suddenly reveals:
*The Power of Persistence: Why staying in the game and trusting God for the results is often the difference between failure and breakthrough
*Cathedral Thinking: How taking the long view changes your daily decisions and life trajectory
*The Compound Effect: How small, faithful actions accumulate into life-changing results
*Convictions vs. Opinions: Why deep conviction in God that drives consistent action matters more than changing opinions
For anyone feeling discouraged by slow progress or wondering if their faithfulness matters, Gradually, Then Suddenly offers the encouraging truth that God is working behind the scenes through your daily obedience to prepare you for moments of dramatic breakthrough.

Mothers And Daughters Of The Bible Speak
$26.99God always keeps His promises, but not always in the way we expect….
“Have faith” is a phrase we hear all the time. But what does it actually look like to live it out? In The Mothers and Daughters of the Bible Speak, Shannon Bream examines the lives of biblical women to see how God’s plans can turn our worlds upside down. She tells the story of Jochebed, a mother who took enormous risks to protect her son, Moses, from Pharaoh. Could Jochebed have imagined that God’s actual design for her son involved flight into exile and danger? And yet this was all part of the master plan to deliver Israel from slavery. Another biblical mother, Rebekah, made terrible choices in an attempt to ensure her son’s place in history. And a daughter, Michal, struggled to keep her faithless father, Saul, from sin, while battling pride in herself.
Through these stories, Shannon explains the intimate connection between faith and family–and how God’s unexpected agenda can redefine the way we think about family. Not all of these mothers and daughters in the Bible were paragons of virtue. Like us, they were human beings who faltered and struggled to do their best. While some heard God’s voice, others chose their own paths. Through the lens of their imperfections, we can see how God used their stories to bring about His divine plans. He’s still doing the same work in our lives today.
The Mothers and Daughters of the Bible Speak shows that faith is more often a twisting road than a straight line. Yet, as the stories of biblical families attest, at the end of these journeys lies greater peace and joy than we could ever imagine.
