This Little Fire Of Mine
$19.99
Adoptive mom, Army wife, and influencer Kendall Mariah shows readers that if you are willing to embrace the uncomfortable friction that comes with leaning into big questions and hard conversations, you’ll discover a new way to deepen your faith, find your true purpose, and anchor your identity in Christ.
We all know “the formula” make the right friends, go to church every Sunday, choose the right school, marry the right guy, seek the wisdom of God, and the desires of your heart will be met. Being a good Christian girl has its rewards, right? But what if you do everything “right” and something still feels off?
Kendall Mariah followed the rules but still ended up experiencing a disconnect between her beliefs and her lived experiences, between her values and what she saw happening in church. She wanted to be authentic and speak her mind but felt the pressure to sit back and be quiet, acting like everything was fine. She began to call the tension between these feelings “soul friction.” It led her to start asking questions that sometimes felt uncomfortable and speaking up when it would have felt more comfortable to keep quiet. Along the way she discovered that she wasn’t alone in feeling soul friction.
In This Little Fire of Mine, Kendall seeks to remind every woman that we shouldn’t hide our light but should boldly press into our faith and live with conviction, because a real and vibrant faith is anchored in Jesus and nothing else. As she leans into honest conversations and thoughtful questions, Kendall shares:
*how doubt can lead to discernment, questions can lead to clarity, and spiritual angst can transform your heart and guide you to a deep inner peace;
*the important of pursuing an integrated life where our words and actions reflect the full truth of Scripture;
*why good friction is healthy and can bring people together and reshape families and communities; and
*why it’s safe to take your doubt, anger, and fear to Jesus and how it can help you develop a more meaningful relationship with him.
Kendall urges readers to let the contradictions they feel in life guide their questions and convictions as they find themselves in a beautifully surprising, more intimate relationship with God than they knew was possible.

Case For Heaven
$29.99Bestselling and award-winning author Lee Strobel interviews experts about the evidence for the afterlife and offers credible answers to the most provocative questions about what happens when we die, near-death experiences, heaven, and hell.
We all want to know what awaits us on the other side of death, but is there any reliable evidence that there is life after death? Investigative author Lee Strobel offers a lively and compelling study into one of the most provocative topics of our day.
Through fascinating conversations with respected scholars and experts–a neuroscientist from Cambridge University, a researcher who analyzed a thousand accounts of near-death experiences, and an atheist-turned-Christian-philosopher–Strobel offers compelling reasons for why death is not the end of our existence but a transition to an exciting world to come. Looking at biblical accounts, Strobel unfolds what awaits us after we take our last breath and answers questions like:
*Is there an afterlife?
*What is heaven like?
*How will we spend our time there?
*And what does it mean to see God face to face?With a balanced approach, Strobel examines the alternative of Hell and the logic of damnation, and gives a careful look at reincarnation, universalism, the exclusivity claims of Christ, and other issues related to the topic of life after death. With vulnerability, Strobel shares the experience of how he nearly died years ago and how the reality of death can shape our lives and faith. Follow Strobel on this journey of discovery of the entirely credible, believable, and exhilarating life to come.

Great By Choice
$29.99The new question
Ten years after the worldwide bestseller Good to Great, Jim Collins returns with another groundbreaking work, this time to ask: Why do some companies thrive in uncertainty, even chaos, and others do not? Based on nine years of research, buttressed by rigorous analysis and infused with engaging stories, Collins and his colleague, Morten Hansen, enumerate the principles for building a truly great enterprise in unpredictable, tumultuous, and fast-moving times.The new study
Great by Choice distinguishes itself from Collins’s prior work by its focus not just on performance, but also on the type of unstable environments faced by leaders today.With a team of more than twenty researchers, Collins and Hansen studied companies that rose to greatness-beating their industry indexes by a minimum of ten times over fifteen years-in environments characterized by big forces and rapid shifts that leaders could not predict or control. The research team then contrasted these “10X companies” to a carefully selected set of comparison companies that failed to achieve greatness in similarly extreme environments.
The new findings
The study results were full of provocative surprises. Such as:The best leaders were not more risk taking, more visionary, and more creative than the comparisons; they were more disciplined, more empirical, and more paranoid.
Innovation by itself turns out not to be the trump card in a chaotic and uncertain world; more important is the ability to scale innovation, to blend creativity with discipline.
Following the belief that leading in a “fast world” always requires “fast decisions” and “fast action” is a good way to get killed.
The great companies changed less in reaction to a radically changing world than the comparison companies.
The authors challenge conventional wisdom with thought-provoking, sticky, and supremely practical concepts. They include: 10Xers; the 20 Mile March; Fire Bullets, Then Cannonballs; Leading above the Death Line; Zoom Out, Then Zoom In; and the SMaC Recipe.Finally, in the last chapter, Collins and Hansen present their most provocative and original analysis: defining, quantifying, and studying the role of luck. The great companies and the leaders who built them were not luckier than the comparisons, but they did get a higher Return on Luck.
This book is classic Collins: contrarian, data-driven, and uplifting. He and Hansen show convincingly that, even in a chaotic and uncer
