  Discipleship Without All the Pressure 
   
   
   
  If discipling your children sounds like a daunting, shame-filled impossibility, you're not alone. As a children's pastor and father of four, Chris Ammen has experienced your frustration firsthand and understands that most parents feel inadequate for the task. But what if our inadequacy isn't a failure, but is just the place from which God chooses to work? 
   
    
   
  In his debut book, Chris celebrates the freedom we have to disciple our children from a place of weakness and dependency on God while uncovering these key truths . . . 
   
     
   
  Truth #1: You are not the lynchpin of your child's journey of discipleship. God is. 
   
    
   
  Truth #2: Discipleship is nothing less than God molding and shaping the entirety of our personhood into his image as those who delight in him and bring him glory. 
   
    
   
  Truth #3: You're not qualified to disciple your children. But God is. And he can work through you to move your children closer to becoming more like his son, Jesus. 
   
     
   
  Let's explore together what discipleship is and isn't and what we can do to partner with God in loving and discipling our kids.

  Heretics - Heresy and Orthodoxy...

  G. K. Chesterton

  In this galloping collection of twenty pointed essays, G. K. Chesterton (1874–1936) nimbly punctures the philosophical pretensions of modern non-Christian thinkers and artists—heretics, as he calls them. Chesterton good-naturedly takes on contemporaries Rudyard Kipling, H. G. Wells, James McNeill Whistler, and even his good friend George Bernard Shaw, exposing the muddled logic of their popular ideas with his characteristic wisdom and razor-sharp wit. He also begins to lay the groundwork for Orthodoxy, his subsequent account of a rational and coherent Christian faith. 
   
  G. K. Chesterton (1874–1936) was one of C. S. Lewis’ primary mentors in apologetics, and an influence even in his conversion. Novelist, poet, essayist, and journalist, Chesterton was perhaps best known for his Father Brown detective stories. He produced more than 100 volumes in his lifetime, including biographies of St. Francis of Assisi and St. Thomas Aquinas. His Everlasting Man, which set out a Christian outline of history, was one of the factors that wore down Lewis’ resistance to Christianity. Chesterton was one of the first defenders of orthodoxy to use humor as a weapon. Perhaps more important was his use of reason to defend faith.

  One of the most common sources of insecurity is our tendency to be preoccupied with self. We are never more fragile than when we make ourselves the center of our story, because we will never live up to the expectations others have for us, to say nothing of the expectations we have for ourselves. But the answer to our problem is not as simple as shifting our focus. The freedom of self-forgetfulness is a sacred journey, and this book is your guide. 
   
   
   
  With all new content echoing the themes of her popular book Free of Me, author Sharon Hodde Miller leads you through a step-by-step process of turning away from self and toward God and others. During this forty-day journey, you will 
   
   
   
  ● identify the wounds, assumptions, and scripts that keep you focused on self 
   
   
   
  ● learn to recognize your true self 
   
   
   
  ● break the bondage of self-focus to freely focus on God 
   
   
   
  If you long for a life where you are not preoccupied by self-improvement and wondering how you measure up, let this devotional show you the way to freedom.

  We often pray with the saints in our Catholic practice or see paintings of angels by famous artists, but who are they really? What do they do? Can they really intercede for us? 
   
    
   
  Elizabeth Klein, assistant professor of theology at the Augustine Institute, leads us through a soul-inspiring exploration of Catholic teaching on angels and saints and why they matter to us as individuals and to the Church. 
   
    
   
  Throughout the book, Klein answers common questions about the angels and saints in order to give us a deeper understanding and appreciation of the role they play in our lives, the Mass, and in the life of the Church. She also equips us to better discuss with non-Catholics what we believe about angels and saints. 
   
    
   
  In Angels and Saints, Klein explains that these heavenly companions are gifts from God. They are our friends and are joined to us in the mystical Body of Christ. They invite us to love God and each other perfectly as they do.

  "Show[s] how deep reading habits help us manage distraction and bring about individual and communal flourishing."--Christianity Today 
   
  This book helps readers develop practices that will result in deep, formative, and faithful reading so they can contribute to the flourishing of their communities and cultivate their own spiritual and intellectual depth.  
   
  The authors present reading as a remedy for three prevalent cultural vices--distraction, hostility, and consumerism--that impact the possibility of formative reading. Informed by James K. A. Smith's work on "the spiritual power of habit," Deep Reading provides resources for engaging in formative and culturally subversive reading practices that teach readers how to resist vices, love virtue, and desire the good. 
   
  Rather than emphasizing the spiritual benefits of reading specific texts such as Dante's Divine Comedy or Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, the authors focus on the practice of reading itself. They examine practices many teachers, students, and avid readers employ--such as reading lists, reading logs, and discussion--and demonstrate how such practices can be more effectively and intentionally harnessed to result in deep reading. The practices apply to any work that is meant to be read deeply.
