Fiercely Loved

Lisa Bevere

When God thinks about you, he isn’t looking for a reason to disqualify, disown, or judge you. He is our qualifying, adopting, and redeeming failsafe. We are the ones who fixate on our failures. Our Father does not.

In this 90-day devotional, New York Times bestselling author Lisa Bevere wants to shift your perspective from the concept of being someone who is merely tolerated to someone who is fiercely loved. Each day helps you accept as true another facet of your identity and God’s truth, including:

  • I am fiercely loved.
  • God is wild for me, and I adore him for it.
  • The Spirit of God is near, speaking light and life over me.
  • It is wild how he knows all, yet calls me daughter.
  • I was wildly woven in wonder.

There is not a moment whether you are awake or asleep that God is not thinking wild thoughts of fierce love toward you. Everything changes when you know this and it’s important that you never doubt it again.

You are fiercely loved, well thought of, and deeply wanted.

Blueprint for Belonging

Alli Patterson

Your relationships are the key to a thriving life that satisfies your soul. Don’t settle for lonely.

Despite technology that allows for more connection than any previous generation, our culture is drowning in loneliness. Human beings are deeply relational, longing to be known, welcomed, encouraged, and connected. Yet most of us go through life lacking some of the key relationships we need in order to feel fulfilled. The answer to our loneliness problem is not found in the quantity of relationships, but rather in finding and growing five specific types of relationships, which make up a blueprint for belonging revealed in the life of Jesus.  

Mining the Gospels for insight, pastor and author Alli Patterson unveils the five types of relationships, cultivated by Jesus, that you still need today: 

  • Your core
  • Your circle
  • Your comrades
  • Your community
  • Your crowd

She guides you through a redesign of your own relational world according to this divine blueprint so you can discover authentic, restorative relationships within each of these types that will truly satisfy your soul.

Radical Like Jesus

Greg Stier

You are meant for more. God has called you to live a radical life for him―one that makes a lasting impact on this world. Like Jesus did. But how is this possible?

There’s never been anyone in history as radical as Jesus. From the way that he prayed, to how he interacted with sinners, to his sacrificial death on the cross, Jesus was a revolutionary. It’s just who he was. As his followers, we are called to be like him. It’s not just something we should aspire to, it’s a reality that we must strive for every day. We can live as Jesus did—be radical like he was—because as Christians, Jesus lives in us and wants to live through us. When Jesus lives his life through us, we begin to do the things that he did.

And that’s what Radical Like Jesus is all about—putting into practice the rhythms, activities, and actions that Jesus modeled throughout his life.

Radical like Jesus is meant to challenge you with:

  • 21 chapters that reflect on the life and actions of Jesus
  • 21 challenges that help you build Christ-honoring routines
  • 21 insights on how your everyday life can become revolutionary

Every chapter ends with a Radical Like Jesus Challenge. Some will truly stretch your faith, and all of them will help you live like Jesus lived.

Reclaiming Quiet

Sarah Clarkson

When we spend our days distracted by social media, news, entertainment, and jam-packed schedules, we make it nearly impossible to experience the kind of thought life that allows us to grow into the people God created us to be–to become more and more like Jesus.

  • Care for your inner life
  • Listen to the voice of God in the everyday
  • Stay grounded in the now while looking with hope and expectation to the future

You’re more than a viewer, a user, or a consumer. You are a child of God, a recipient of his grace, a disciple who is seeking to follow him more closely. It’s time to reclaim all that. It’s time to seek out some holy quiet.

Now in a beautiful deluxe edition, this beloved book continues to declare that God’s love will overcome, heal, and restore. There is no pit so deep that God’s love is not deeper still, and no darkness so thick that his light can’t break through.

Making Marriage Easier

Arlene Pellicane

Many people today are pessimistic about marriage. It’s hard. It will end in divorce. If you marry, you exchange romance for responsibility. Yet research tells us the happiest people on the planet are those in healthy marriages.

Can marriage be great—not just for the rare few—but for you? After 25 years of marriage, Arlene Pellicane has stories and biblical wisdom to share. Full of real life that will make you laugh, Making Marriage Easier addresses common threats to your marriage—poor communication, tension over differences, lack of physical intimacy, parenting stress, and more.

Four key decisions will help you clarify your values and create a clear path forward. Each short chapter ends with life lessons, questions to ponder with your spouse or in a group, and prayers to strengthen and encourage. Marriage is part of God’s awesome, wonderful plan. It’s meant to be a celebration, not a life sentence.

The Marriage You Want

Sheila Wray Gregoire and Dr. Keith Gregoire

You want more than just a marriage that lasts. You want a marriage you love. We’re going to show you how to create it.

We all want a marriage that feels like home. We long for a partner who is there for us through all of life’s challenges and griefs, who shares all our inside jokes, who looks toward the future with a shared faith and an arm firmly around our shoulder. But what actually works to get us there?

Based on data from an all-new study of married couples, researchers Sheila Wray Gregoire and  Keith Gregoire uncover the keys to the marriage you long for, including:

  • Which surprising struggle causes the most long-term unhappiness
  • When compromise can actually make things worse
  • How you might be prioritizing sex in the wrong way
  • How to uncover the real issue when you’re in conflict

Rather than relying on gender stereotypes, they look at what actually creates intimacy, emotional health, and connection, asking deeper questions that lead to real healing and growth in your relationship. With the evidence-based, Scripture-honoring advice in this book, the marriage you want may be closer than you imagine.

  • Be ambitious about the right things
  • Choose today who you will become tomorrow
  • Take responsibility for your own spiritual life

The Men We Need is witty, challenging, bracingly honest, and perfect for any man who wants to know “Why am I here?”- and is ready to show up.

Pour Out Your Heart

Jeremy Linneman

Do you feel like everything depends on you? That you must grind and hustle to have a flourishing life? If so, it’s no surprise that stress, anxiety, and burdens may be weighing you down. And there’s no doubt that you probably struggle to pray—or believe that prayer does much in your life.

What if it wasn’t all on you? What if God wanted to not only bear your burdens, but change you and work on your behalf as you engage with him and labor in ministry? 

In Pour Out Your Heart, pastor Jeremy Linneman reveals a deeper, more vibrant prayer life that could be yours. Where some approach prayer in a one-sided way, Linneman approaches prayer as both communion with God and an act of boldness seeking God’s transformative power to work mightily in our world. 

We were not created to do life in our own strength. We can see the transformative power of God’s presence at work, in our own lives and in our world. The way is simple: you pour out your heart in the presence of our loving, all-powerful Father, and he pours back his love and power into you.

You're Still a Good Mom

Hallie Dye

Motherhood is a gift. It’s beautiful and meaningful work. But raising imperfect humans can also be exhausting and leave you depleted. Social media has only increased the pressure to look good and be the perfect mom. But what is a “good” mom? And why does it seem like the lives of others are shinier and easier than yours? Fellow mom and friend Hallie Dye understands the motivation to be a mom who never fails (yet feels like she’s always failing).

In You’re Still a Good Mom, Dye dismantles our faulty expectations of motherhood and replaces them with an understanding of who you are in Christ and who he calls you to be. Raising kids brings out our weaknesses. You can feel as though no matter how hard you try, you’re not the mom you imagined you’d be.

Dye shows the way of surrendering motherhood. Through real life stories and a biblical foundation, readers learn how to navigate failures so that they can raise children who see their need for a good and perfect Savior. Writing on truth, compassion, grief, grace, dreams, and much more, the author speaks to moms right where they’re at. You will find real hope in what God defines as faithful and good and be robustly affirmed that you’re still a good mom.

Life in Christ Bible

New King James Version

Do you know who God says you are?

God has a purpose for your life in this moment. You have a part to play in what he is doing in the world. But knowing why you are here starts with knowing who God says you are. 

You are an image bearer. A worshiper. A ruler and cultivator. In Christ, you are known. Loved. Forgiven. Redeemed. Reconciled. Complete. A member of God’s family. An ambassador sent into the world to make Christ known to all people.  

God says that you matter.

This is who God says you are in his Word. This is who Christ is making you to be through the gospel. The Life in Christ Bible invites you to embrace your identity and purpose as you:

  • Discover your value as a person made in the image of God
  • Explore how the gospel of Jesus Christ makes you a new person
  • Learn how to live as a person conformed to Christ’s image—thinking, speaking, and moving differently in the world

You are more valuable than you realize and more loved than you know. You have a greater purpose than you can imagine. God wants you to believe it and rejoice.
