New from bestselling author Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth

Known for her wisdom, warmth, and knowledge of Scripture, Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth has encouraged millions through her books, radio programs, and conferences. Now she's back with a legacy work on Titus 2 and its powerful vision for women:

Woman to woman. Older to younger. Day to day. Life to life.
This is God's beautiful plan.

The Titus 2 model of older women living out the gospel alongside younger women is vital for us all to thrive. It is mutually strengthening, glorifies God, and makes His truth believable to our world.

Imagine older women investing themselves in the lives of younger women, blessing whole families and churches. Imagine young wives, moms, and singles gaining wisdom and encouragement from women who've been there and have found God's ways to be true and good. Imagine all women--from older women to young girls--living out His transforming gospel together, growing the entire body of Christ to be more beautiful.

This is Christian community as God designed it. Read this book and take your relationships to new depths, that your life might find its fullest meaning as you adorn the gospel of Christ.

Ephesians 6: 11: Straight Answers From the Bible; Inspirational Library

The problem is that many men today act like they don't need friends-and they're paying the price. Risking relationship is not easy for men, but it's a non-negotiable for God's man. When you stand with others who share your spiritual goals, you achieve them faster. That's God's way.

Godly friendships create consistency, provide care and support, stimulate healthy confession, produce new connections, and make you complete in Christ. They produce positive changes in your character, convictions, conduct, and commitment to do life God's way.

Learn how to build and benefit from friendships with godly men. It starts with Being God's Man...in Pursuing Friendships.

BASIC."Communion" is the final film in a seven-part short film series featuring Francis Chan. When Jesus told His disciples to "do this in remembrance of me," they were sharing a meal together. Today we've made communion more impersonal, something that we do facing forward in a church service. That's not the way Jesus did it. He gathered the disciples for a meal, and they practiced communion in relationship.
Communion is a "do you remember" kind of event. Do you remember what the body of Christ is about? Do you remember the significance of Jesus' death? It's a way to stop and say, "Okay, we're all in this together, remember?" Includes Personal Reflection Guide.

Fueled by the drive to be bigger and better, today's church has adopted principles and practices created by the corporate world. The result is a toxic mix of the spiritual and the secular, where success is measured in numbers, and pastors are encouraged to become CEO superstars.

In short, the world is infl uencing the church. How do we get back to a biblical foundation for leadership and church development?

Trusted and best-selling author Don Cousins will take you on a groundbreaking exploration of what makes a church leader successful. Lead using the gifts God has given you. Fulfi ll your calling to be a leader who equips others for the work of service. Experience God's blessings as you carry out His work, His way.

BASIC."Fellowship" is the fourth film in a seven-part short film series from the creators of NOOMA featuring Francis Chan. God calls us to make disciples and teach others to obey His commands. But He doesn't ask us to do this by ourselves. Of course, that's why He created the Church. But once we join this fellowship, our whole world has to change because now we're a part of something bigger than ourselves. As part of the body of Christ, we must care for one another and share everything in common--as a family would. God sees us as brothers and sisters, "as a family," and He wants us to live in that way too. Ultimately, we should love each other so much, and so well "that others will see God." Is this a fellowship you want to be a part of? Are you willing to give up everything? Includes Personal Reflection Guide.

The Christian life was meant to be a journey, not a routine.

BASIC is a seven-part short film series from the creators of NOOMA featuring Francis Chan inviting us to reclaim the simple, full, and beautiful journey that our lives are intended to be.

The first three BASIC films begin at the most fundamental level asking, "Who is God?" Francis addresses, reveals, and reinforces a foundational framework to better understand the complex truths of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Films four through seven focus on "The Practices of the Church," and by living these out, we are the Church.

We're all looking for a solid foundation - something we can build our lives around. We crave a profound assurance that God, His ways, and His Word will carry us through - leading to basic conclusions to complex questions we wrestle with.

This beautifully decorated stand-up pouch contains 10 assorted milk and dark chocolates. Each piece is individually wrapped in the "God So Loved Me That He Gave Me You" theme and a love scripture. Treat yourself or your loved ones to this delicious chocolate, proudly made in the U.S.A.

Now the bestselling authors of unChristian turn their data-driven insights toward the thorny question of how Christians talk with people they know and love about the most toxic issues of our day. They help today's disciples understand what they believe and why, and how to keep believing it without being judgmental and defensive. Readers will discover the most significant trends that offer both obstacles and opportunities to God's people, and how not only to challenge culture but to create and renew it for the common good. Perhaps most importantly, David Kinnaman and Gabe Lyons invite fellow Christians to understand the heart behind opposing views and show them how to be loving, life-giving friends despite profound differences. This will be the go-to book for young adult and older believers who don't want to hide from culture but to engage and restore it.

WHAT DOES GOD EXPECT OF US?

Stearns journey there took much more than a long flight to Africa. It tookanswering God s call on his life, a call that tore him out of his corner office at oneof America s most prestigious corporations to walk with the poorest of the poorin our world.
