  King David is arguably one of the greatest kings to ever live. He was an unparalleled military leader, unifier of a nation, and exhibited spiritual leadership to name a few of his accomplishments. Although King David was a man after God's own heart he was imperfect and sinful. Throughout David's life he was blessed to encounter connections (both positive and negative) with other men that made David who he was. 
   
   
   
  God has built us for connection, and your destiny and success is intertwined with your relational life. Ten Men was written to help men define and find their God-given tribe. 
   
   
   
  Author Doug Reed walks listeners through ten special relationships that David had with other men in his life, and he'll explain how we need to fight against our weaknesses and shortcomings by helping each other. This book is a wonderful opportunity to walk alongside other men in authenticity through a bible study or small group setting to spur one another to spiritual maturity.

  Built for the Storm - Weathering...

  Surviving Life’s Most Brutal StormsAs a World Series-winning pitcher with the San Francisco Giants, Jeremy Affeldt stared down all kinds of pressure. But none compared to the stress he faced in his personal life, when things completely fell apart. He learned that going it alone in a crisis is like trying to pitch without a catcher—there’s no one to help with the next pitch or advise you on the curveballs.In Built for the Storm, Affeldt shares his personal story—including pitching with double vision in Game 7 of the 2014 World Series—and the lesson he’s learned: It’s better to find your herd—a small group of friends who are there for you whenthe next storm hits. It’s called the “buffalo mentality”—a mindset to run toward the storm, rather than away from it. Not because the storm isn’t terrifying, but because it is. And when we face the storm and move into it, there’s a good chance we’ll get through it faster. Especially together. That’s the buffalo mentality. That’s built for the storm.

  Wisdom for Faithful Reading -...

  The church has too often lost its way in reading the Old Testament for lack of sound principles of interpretation. When careless habits get us off track, we can lose sight of what the Bible is really saying, derailing our own spiritual growth and even risking discredit to God's word. 
   
   
   
  We need a consistent approach to give us confidence as faithful interpreters. In Wisdom for Faithful Reading, trusted Old Testament scholar John Walton lays out his best practices developed over four decades in the classroom. His principles are memorable, practical, and enlightening, including: 
   
   
   
  ● The Bible is written for us, but not to us. 
   
   
   
  ● Reading the Bible instinctively is not reliable. 
   
   
   
  ● More important than what the characters do is what the narrator does with the characters and what God is doing through the characters. 
   
   
   
  ● Not everything has a "biblical view." 
   
   
   
  Along with identifying common missteps, Walton's insights point the way to stay focused on what the Old Testament text communicated to its original audience—and what it has to say for us today. When we submit ourselves to be accountable to the authors' intentions we experience the true authority of Scripture, and faithful reading fuels a faithful life.

  At thirty-two, Ada Yoder is resigned to caring for her three sisters, her ever-impractical father, and their prosperous, but demanding, farm. The last kind of trouble she needs is Enos Hoover claiming that six acres of their land actually belongs to him—and taking steps to prove it. But Ada soon finds that battling Enos's clever strategies is delightfully intriguing—and lighting an impossible spark . . . 
   
   
   
  Enos is determined to make his mater proud by turning difficult acreage into a successful farm. Legally, he is in the right to reclaim the land from the Yoders.

Now, can Enos and Ada find enough faith and understanding to reconcile family, duty, and love—and stake their claim on a forever happiness together? 
   
   
   
  Sometimes the greatest blessings come in disguise . . .

  In the space between no longer and not yet, you still belong somewhere. 
   
  It catches most of us by surprise. Life is going along until suddenly we find ourselves at the crossroads of what was and what is yet to be. This in-between space of transition often keeps us awake at night, asking questions like What am I supposed to do now? and Why do I feel so lost and alone? 
   
  Bestselling author and Bible teacher Nicki Koziarz asked those same questions. She discovered how to find direction for today by studying the life of Moses and coming to understand the types of seasons a transition can bring. 
   
  With practical advice, relatable stories, and biblical wisdom, this book will help you: 
   
  ● discern which transition season you're in and learn how to overcome its challenges   
  ● stop feeling lost in life by discovering where you belong on the road between what was and what will be 
  ● protect your future by learning to utilize Scripture to fight fears of the unknown 
   
  Transitions start with something ending, and waiting for a new beginning can be agonizing. But you can learn to be confident and optimistic, even when life feels like it's paused in an unfamiliar now.
