    Waiting on God and trusting him in the process is one of the hardest things for any believer. 
    In this six-session audio Bible study, the authors of The Rock, The Road, and the Rabbi Kathie Lee Gifford and Rabbi Jason Sobel will take you back to the Holy Land where God made his covenant with people like Abraham, Sarah, Moses, Joshua, and Mary. You'll study their stories and how God delivered on the promises he made to each of them. 
    Throughout Scripture, we see God weaving his plan through the lives of people who had to step out in faith long before they understood what their Creator was up to. Their questions then are ours today: How can we learn to trust in God's timing and God's methods? 
    The God of the How and When (part 1 of The God of the Way Study Series) will show you how God is still building his Kingdom through the lives of the followers of Jesus—and how you're a part of this amazing story.

    Over 100 extraordinary people. One profound question. Countless life-affirming answers.When James Bailey was feeling lost in life, he was inspired by philosopher Will Durant's project, conducted in the 1930's, to write to one hundred luminaries in arts, politics, religion, sport, and sciences, challenging them to respond to a direct yet fundamental question—What is the meaning of life? The response was more remarkable than he could have ever imagined.A decade on, James had garnered an incredible collection of replies, collated here for the first time. By turns thought-provoking, amusing, and enlightening, these letters from scientists, writers, campaigners, athletes, political leaders, entertainers, survivors, and philosophers are a wonderful source of inspiration. Some are about happiness and heartbreak, some are about purpose, some are funny, and some will change the way you think.The Meaning of Life is a gift from people of all walks of life with incredible experience, connecting through one meaningful question that broadens our understanding of what it really means to be human and happy. It is more than just a collection of letters—it's a roadmap to finding your own path.

    In this refreshing collection, one of our best writers on desert places, Gary Paul Nabhan, challenges traditional notions of the desert. Beautiful, reflective, and at times humorous, Nabhan's extended essay also called "The Nature of Desert Nature" reveals the complexity of what a desert is and can be. He passionately writes about what it is like to visit a desert and what living in a desert looks like when viewed through a new frame, turning age-old notions of the desert on their heads. 
     
     
     
    Nabhan invites a prism of voices—friends, colleagues, and advisors from his more than four decades of study of deserts—to bring their own perspectives. Scientists, artists, desert contemplatives, poets, and writers bring the desert into view and investigate why these places compel us to walk through their sands and beneath their cacti and acacia. We observe the spines and spears, stings and songs of the desert anew. Unexpected. Surprising. Enchanting. Like the desert itself, each essay offers renewed vocabulary and thoughtful perceptions. 
     
     
     
    The desert inspires wonder. Attending to history, culture, science, and spirit, The Nature of Desert Nature celebrates the bounty and the significance of desert places.

    Weekends with Matt is a classic odd-couple tale of two very different men and the common ground that can be found over a shared passion. 
     
    The peacock's tail is used to describe a wine that is wonderfully complex and ultimately rewarding. Surely there’s no better metaphor for life. It was at the bottle shop, somewhere between the chardonnay and the zinfandel, that Peter realised he didn’t have a clue about wine. On his way to a dinner party and in a mild panic, he called Matt, a wine-loving acquaintance who expertly steered him towards the perfect bottle. The selection was a hit, but it was Matt’s passion that stuck in Peter’s mind. He decided to visit Matt’s vineyard for an introduction to the noble grape. One visit led to another and this unlikely pairing of a Proust-quoting intellectual and a farmer with a love of hunting found themselves bonding over life, ideas, vulnerability, aspiration, nature, philosophy and, of course, a glass or three of wine. Like a tipsy Tuesdays with Morrie, this well-crafted tale is as much a guide to life as the mysteries of wine. With thought-provoking notes and philosophical undertones, this is a delightful story that readers will love to sip and savour.
