  The Patient God for Impatient...

  Many of us have a complicated relationship with patience: We know we should strive for it, and at the same time, we hate practicing it. After all, the word itself means "long-suffering." Does praying for patience mean inviting suffering into our lives?No, says Gretchen Ronnevik. Patience is not something we manufacture; it is from God's nature, and to know patience is to know the God whose love endures forever. Praying for patience is praying for God to be with us, and with the comfort of his presence, we can lavish patience on others without hesitation or regret. Understanding patience this way reframes it not as a virtue we dread being forced to develop but rather as an attribute of God that is a steadying force in our lives.This honest, comforting, and encouraging book shows how seeing God's steadfastness as his nature will anchor you in the truth that his patient presence is with you in whatever you're facing.

  A Groundbreaking Analysis of Dallas Willard's Theology of Spiritual Formation
  Dallas Willard's formational theology begins with the claim that the aim of God in human history is the formation of a community of loving persons apprenticed to Jesus—and ends with the promise that such apprenticeship prepares us to share in God's governance of the cosmos.
  This apprenticeship to Jesus is the path to human flourishing, the renewal of the church, and the healing of the world. 
  In Kingdom Apprenticeship, Keas Keasler offers the first comprehensive study of Willard's theology of spiritual formation. He argues that while the three D's of disciples, discipleship, and disciplines made Willard famous, his formational theology is much deeper than that. Willard's unique grammar of transformation is grounded in ordinary life, for it is in our present reality that we are trained to participate in God's eternal purposes.
  Mining Willard's philosophical works, theological writings, recorded lectures, and unpublished papers, Keasler shows:
  
  - Willard's theology serves as a practical curriculum for spiritual growth, offering a remedy for the character crisis we see in thechurch and in society.
  - Apprenticeship to Jesus is both for growth in Christlikeness and preparation for reigning with God in the fullness of his kingdom.
  - Spiritual formation is not secondary or supplementary to God's mission; it isits very strategy.
  Against the drift of modern theology into abstraction, Willard calls the church back to a clinical theology—one aimed at the transformation of character through an interactive life with God. Formation and mission, contemplation and action, inner renewal and outward vocation—all are inseparably linked in Willard's vision.
  Kingdom Apprenticeship offers a fresh and urgent call: to recover apprenticeship to Jesus as the heart of the Christian life—andthe hope of the world.

  Outreach Resource of the Year, Spiritual Growth
  In a society where raging narcissism dominates the moral landscape, the virtue of humility is often dismissed as irrelevant. Not only is humility vanishing from contemporary culture, but we are also witnessing how destructive a lack of humility has become among our churches and ministry leaders. And yet, Richard Foster, the founder of Renovaré, insists that humility is central to the journey toward character formation and spiritual transformation. For this reason he decided to spend a year studying the virtue of humility.
  Using the Lakota calendar as a framework, Foster provides us with a look into the insights he gathered from sources ranging from Native American culture to Julian of Norwich to Scripture to personal friends. By engaging with both the spiritual classics and Foster's own experiences, Learning Humility provides profound insight into what humility can look like in our current cultural climate.
  Join Richard Foster on the journey toward a life of humility, which he says leads us into "freedom, joy, and holy hilarity."

  "In the wake of a very public—and very scandalous—breakup, country music star Lydia St. Peter finds herself in need of a place of refuge. She doesn’t know why she thinks she’ll find it with the family she never knew she had in River Falls, Tennessee, but at least the small town will offer her the privacy she so desperately craves. She never expected it to offer more—in the form of her new landlord, Liam, and his troubled teenage daughter. When single dad Liam returns to his hometown of River Falls, it’s with the intention of taking care of his mother and protecting his daughter. He knows his own happiest years are behind him. They died with his wife. What he doesn’t see coming is the instant connection with the new tenant staying in his mother’s carriage house. As Lydia feels the pull of family and Liam allows himself to open to the possibility of love again, a new relationship starts to blossom. But when Lydia is presented with an opportunity that could rocket her to household-name status, she has to decide whether she’s willing to give up everything she’s gained in River Falls to chase her dreams—or if her heart has finally found its home."
