  What is thoroughness? How does someone show self-control? What does it mean to be meek, loyal, or compassionate? When it comes to understanding and developing character traits, biographical stories are a powerful tool.  
  Powerful not only because they so effectively illustrate virtues but also because your young reader doesn't feel preached at.  
  These 10 stories are engrossing! Instead of being told, "You should be thorough," they will read about Booker T. Washington who cleaned a recitation room so meticulously that it secured his entry into Hampton Institute. Instead of hearing that courage is an attractive virtue, they get consumed with the story of Colonel Aleksandr Groten who defied a direct order and exposed himself to enemy fire to save his men from certain death in a swamp. Instead of being admonished to be more compassionate, they see how during the Russian Revolution Gregory Burmistr gave his last pair of felt boots to a young girl suffering from the cold, despite being poor himself.  
  Packed with adventure, danger, and real historical drama, these books keep your students turning pages as they devour tales of daring escapes, life-threatening risks, wartime heroism, and sacrificial acts of kindness.  
  In ten biographical sketches, see how a figure from the late 1800s through World War I demonstrates a key virtue. Thoroughness ~ Booker T. Washington Contentment ~ Horatio Spafford Hospitality ~ Kate Gibson Self-Control ~ Kate Shelley Meekness ~ George Washington Carver Joyfulness ~ Lieutenant Armand Pinsard Courage ~ Colonel Aleksandr Groten Loyalty ~ Darya Efimova Obedience ~ Sergeant Alvin C. York Compassion ~ Gregory Burmistr

  In Christological Dogmatics, Glenn Butner offers a bold, expansive exploration of Christ's person and work, weaving together biblical studies, historical theology, and global perspectives--from Nestorian disputes to Ethiopian Orthodox debates to modern reflections on christological ethics. 
   
  Rooted in Protestant convictions of Scripture's authority and salvation by grace alone, this companion to Butner's award-winning Trinitarian Dogmatics explores doctrinal tensions and systematizes Christian thought for the universal church. Unlike typical Christology texts that focus on doctrinal development over time, its locus-by-locus approach synthesizes patristic, medieval, and majority-world voices into a robust, intermediate-level survey. 
   
  Enhanced with annotated bibliographies after each chapter and a glossary of terms, this volume is an invaluable resource for professors, students, clergy, and theologians. Here, Christology emerges as the vital intersection of Trinity, salvation, and ethics, inviting readers to witness the crucified and risen Savior afresh.

  So many of us are leaving conservative faith traditions behind, rightly saying goodbye to toxic theology, bigotry, and harm. But in the process, we often lose our rhythm of gathering, prayer, and worship. We may even lose our sense of connection to God. And we think it's our fault. But spiritual coach, speaker, and podcaster Kevin Miguel Garcia is here with a reminder: "We don't need saving because we were never in danger. We don't need to get found because we've never been lost. Everything we need to connect with the Divine is already inside us." 
   
   
   
  What Makes You Bloom is a guide to creating your new spiritual practice after your life or faith has fallen apart. When going to church, praying, and reading your Bible just doesn't cut it or outright disturbs you, this book will show you how to cultivate new, meaningful spiritual practices—like stillness, presence, breath, and movement—that will help you overcome the pain of your past and root yourself in the present. 
   
   
   
  Through stories, insights, and guided meditations, Garcia explains how the goal of every spiritual practice should be about the attainment of peace—about finding what truly makes you bloom. Along the way, you will discover that the smallest changes in your life can bring about the biggest transformations, and that a feeling of bliss is only a few breaths away.

  Fully Nourished - A Grace-Filled...

  Even though as Christian women we know that we are fearfully and wonderfully made, many of us have been in a war with our own bodies for years. We tediously track calories, eliminate food groups, jump on the latest exercise trend, and wonder if all this business about balancing hormones is real or just someone trying to sell us something.Through all the conflicting advice, weight lost and regained, and time spent berating ourselves for failing, we never get to the heart of the matter: why we started overeating in the first place or why our sense of worth has become entangled in what we eat and how we look. We focus on improving the outside, hoping it will make us feel better inside. But true, lasting, life-altering freedom is found by changing from the inside out.Fully Nourished invites you to step off the exhausting treadmill of dieting and into the freedom Jesus offers. Certified nutrition coach and personal trainer Brandice Lardner gently guides you through sustainable practices grounded in biblical truth, sound nutrition, and habit-building science. You'll discover how to nourish your body without shame, renew your mind with grace, and build habits that support your health, your peace, and your calling.

  The Zondervan Biblical and Theological Lectures series provides a unique audio learning experience. Unlike a traditional audiobook’s direct narration of a book’s text, Searching for God: Audio Lectures include high quality live-recordings of college-level lectures that cover the important points from each subject as well as relevant material from other sources. 
  The average person today may hold to a wide variety of beliefs about religion and Christianity, including:Good people go to heaven; bad people end up in hell.All religions are basically the same.It's about rules.It's about controlling people.No religion can be the only way to God or spirituality. 
  In short, religion is an area of much confusion. Searching for God: Audio Lectures, narrated by filmmaker Brandon McGuire and featuring top Christian thinkers and apologists, explores questions such as: What is Christianity? What are some of the ideas that have influenced the way people think about it? And is there any evidence for God? 
  Most significantly, Searching for God: Audio Lectures examines the central event in the Christian story, the resurrection of Jesus Christ. The resurrection is a historical claim, testable by evidence. So how credible is it? McGuire interviews everyday people alongside seasoned Christian scholars in making a case for Christianity. Featured scholars include Lee Strobel, William Lane Craig, Gary Habermas, J. Warner Wallace, Nabeel Qureshi, Paul Copan, and many more. 
  Searching for God: Audio Lectures feature the author's expert teaching and is an ideal resource for traditional students, students in distance and online-learning courses, and self-learners, wanting to better understand Christian theology.

  “Spiritually rewarding and uplifting.” — Cardinal Timothy Dolan, Archbishop of New York 
  New York Times bestselling author and editor at large of America magazine Father James Martin reveals how we can turn to Christ completely in mind, heart, and soul. Martin offers a portrait of Jesus, using his last words on the cross to reveal how deeply he understood our predicaments and shows us what it means to be fully human. 
  Each meditation is dedicated to one of the seven sayings:“Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do.”“Today you will be with me in Paradise.”“Woman, this is your son”  . . .  “This is your mother.”“My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”“I thirst.”“It is finished.”“Father, into your hands I commend my spirit.” 
  With the warmth, wisdom, and grace that infuse his works, Father James Martin explains why Jesus’s crucifixion and death on the cross is an important teaching moment in the Gospels. Jesus’s final statements, words that are deeply cherished by his followers, exemplify the depth of his suffering but also provide a key to his empathy and why we can connect with him so deeply.
