  EMBRACE A LIFE OF LOVE FOR ALL HUMANITY 
  Share the Dream® is a six-session audio Bible study based on the life and teachings of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. You will look at six biblical principles that shaped Dr. King’s life and motivated him to speak on behalf of African Americans in the Civil Rights Movement: love, conscience, freedom, justice, perseverance, and hope. 
  The best way to Share the Dream® is to follow in Dr. King’s footsteps and embrace his vision. You can help a new generation better understand, live, experience, and ultimately form a community around the unifying principles at the heart of the dream to which Dr. King dedicated his life.

These sessions will reflect the ambiance of the unique recording locations, immersing the listener into the teaching. While not required for the audio experience, these studies are designed to partner with the coordinating study guide, sold separately.

During his tenure with the Chicago Bears and the New York Jets, Matt made two Pro Bowl appearances and racked up more career rushes, receptions, and yards from scrimmage than any other football player in the league, a feat made possible in part, because—as an every-down back—Matt never left the field.No matter the down or distance, Matt always stayed in the game, running, catching, and blocking his way into the record books.Now, in Stay in the Game, Matt shares the highs and lows of his storied career—from the first time he put on pads at age 7 in Slidell, Louisiana, his college days at Tulane University, and his decade of dominance in the NFL, to the difficult decision to hang up his cleats at age 32, and the work he is currently doing to mentor professional athletes and stop gun violence on the streets of Chicago.Along the way, Matt gives readers a rare insider’s perspective on:what it takes to make it as an athlete at the collegiate and professional levelwhat it’s like to go through the recruiting process, the combine, and draft dayhis most memorable plays, games, teammates, and coachesthe faith that helped get him through, andwhat every athlete needs to know about life after professional sportsA thoroughly compelling and inspiring read, Stay in the Game is a testament to the perseverance and grit it takes to succeed, endure, and make a lasting impact both in the NFL and in life.

  The Priest is Not His Own

  Fulton J. Sheen

  The Priest is Not His Own (1963) by Fulton J. Sheen is a treatise on the role of the Roman Catholic priest. This guide asks those who would be shepherds to be as the original Shepherd, to be as close in thought and deed to another Christ as it is possible to be.Archbishop Sheen’s 1963 work The Priest is Not His Own asks the Catholic priest to view himself as not only a shepherd of his flock, but as a victim, just as Christ was a victim. Unlike priests of other faiths who offered sacrifices of animals and other men to the gods, Christ offered himself as the sacrifice that would save all mankind.The entire work is dedicated to this one idea, exploring the role and responsibilities of the Catholic priest through this willing victim lens. While Archbishop Sheen doesn’t ask the priest to sacrifice his earthly life, he does ask him to sacrifice his entire soul to Christ on the Cross in every Mass and his entire body to Christ with the breaking of bread.The priest must also sacrifice his place in the world, remaining sympathetic to man’s afflictions but not a part of them. Archbishop Sheen writes, “...Though we are in the world, we are never of it, for our High Priest has called us out of this world.” This separation from the world becomes more and more difficult as a priest receives honors and prestige (such as consecration as a bishop) or gains popularity (through “the press, television or radio”). Archbishop Sheen may have been speaking from experience, as he himself achieved a high position in the Catholic Church and garnered mainstream success through public appearances.For every question regarding the life and responsibilities of the priest, Archbishop Sheen returns to the High Priest and founder of the faith, Jesus Christ. The Priest is Not His Own is a valuable guide for the priest, seminary student, or simply the layperson seeking to become a better person of faith.

  How to Fight Sexism in the Church
  Despite the real progress that has been made in recent years, women continue to be silenced, wounded, and relegated to the sidelines in our churches. Many churches—even churches that outwardly affirm and platform women—remain unaware of the patterns and cultures at play that set up unseen barriers for women.
  This is a book for Christians who want to learn how to do better. Heather Matthews has experienced sexism in the church firsthand. In Confronting Sexism in the Church, she explores the history and culture of sexism in our contemporary evangelical world and describes the many ways—subtle and not so subtle—that it lives on in the church today. She gives simple, practical steps for how Christians can actively fight sexism in its many forms.
  The mistreatment of women has been part of the human experience from the very beginning—but in Christ, women are set free to be all they've been created to be. This book invites churches to live out that reality in all its fullness.
