  "Walk in the woods with me." 
   
   
   
  That's the invitation award-winning author Lore Ferguson Wilbert extends to listeners in The Understory. 
   
   
   
  On this journey, Wilbert shares her story of alienation and disorientation after years of religious and political unrest in the evangelical church. In doing so, she looks to an unlikely place—the forest—to learn how to live and even thrive when everything seems to be falling apart. What can we learn from eroding soil, the decomposition process, the time it takes to grow lichen, the beauty of fiddlehead ferns, the regeneration of self-sowing seeds, and walking through the mud? Here, among the understory of the forest, Wilbert discovers rich metaphors for living a rooted and flourishing life within the complex ecosystems of our world. Her tenderness and honesty will help listeners grieve, remember, hope, and press on with resilience.

  Christian Awakening

  Although author Joellen Saddock was raised in a Christian household, she often found herself on the outside of religion looking in. In Christian Awakening, she narrates a coming-of-age story about the way she discovered answers to all her tough religious questions. More than anything, her story exemplifies how God's law actively works to multiply desires and assist in creating a life of possibilities. Her story is about man's mountain-moving potential that has, until now, been obscured by religious hypocrites. Christian Awakening explores the deeper meanings of the Holy Bible, how it parallels other religions, and shares the message of a loving unity between all of God's people. 
  Saddock prods you to set aside the idea that man begins and ends in the confines of his own skin and suggests a broader perspective of what it means that men-of all religious backgrounds-are "given one spirit to drink" (1 Corinthians 12:13). Through an intense scrutinization of many different biblical translations, interwoven between riveting personal experiences, a new message of religious tolerance emerges. Offering a fascinating perspective on Christ's death, Saddock leaves you at the crossroads of the divine, suggesting the time has come to take each other by the hand and greet the dawn of "a new earth in which righteousness dwells" together as one united people (2 Peter 3:13)

  In the bluegrass fields of Kentucky, Anne Wilson and her siblings, Jacob and Elizabeth, grew up in the security and love of their family--and Jesus. But when Jacob died in a car accident, Anne was thrust into a painful journey of grief and soul-wrestling that led to God calling her to create songs that glorified Him.

  Praise for My Jesus: 
  "I love how Anne Wilson invites us into the cracks and crevices of her life and how she built her life on Jesus. My Jesus is personal, and it takes you on a journey through some of the most foundational parts of Anne's life that develop into a large picture where it is so clear that God was the artist of it all.

  --Sadie Robertson Huff, author, speaker, and founder of Live Original 
  "The song 'My Jesus' has impacted so many of our lives in such important ways. Reading this book, being in the moments with Anne and her family, and hearing her faith rise up when her heart was broken, Anne has told a true and deep story that we all need to read." 
  --Annie F. Downs, New York Times bestselling author of That Sounds Fun

  The Calling

  Richard Carver had only been a Catholic priest for a short time when he met and fell in love with the beautiful Elisabeth Downs. So began a titanic tug-of-war between Richard's love of his God and his love for Elisabeth. Richard was to rise rapidly within the ranks of the church before and during the upcoming years of WORLD WAR II. The brilliant priest from America would find himself disguised with many names, attired in different clothes including a Nazi uniform before his secretive work for the church and its allies was finished at the end of the war. Richard had been destined for greatness. His greatness in the world's eye had come at a great price for Richard, however. The struggle between Elisabeth and his God would continue to the end of his much-celebrated life. Perhaps though if the script of his life had been different the deeds that the American Cardinal had accomplished during the Great War would have never happened, including aiding in the escape of Jewish prisoners bound for Auschwitz. The Calling above all else, is a story of life and its inevitable turns of fate destined for every living creature on earth.

  10 Things You Don't Have to Do to Be Close to God 
   
   
   
  Like a succession of failed diet regimens, the much-touted techniques that are supposed to bring us closer to God "in our hearts" can instead make us feel anxious, frustrated, and overwhelmed. 
   
   
   
  Phillip Cary explains that discipleship is a gradual, long-term process that comes through the gospel experienced in Christian community, not a to-do list designed to help us live the Christian life "right." He covers ten things we don't have to do to be close to God, skillfully unpacking the riches of traditional Christian spirituality. The expanded edition includes a new afterword.
