  When Jesus cried “It is finished” from the cross, what did he mean? And why is this so significant today? Ironically, this cry wasn’t about defeat but about triumph.

He meets our greatest need by providing salvation and rescue. He wins our hearts and our adoration, filling us with deep and lasting joy.

  Now with an extra bonus epilogue!Only the fearless face the Rocky Mountain winter alone. When Zeche Reid left his family’s stage stop in the Wyoming Territory to explore the mountains around them, an early blizzard sends him scrambling for cover. He stumbles upon a lady and her professor father holed up in a remote cabin, and his protective instincts won't let him desert them to continue his travels. Especially when the father's haunting memories from the War of Secession put his daughter's safety at risk.  Fighting her own nightmares after the war, Greta Michelly is trying to settle into this rugged mountain land, but her bad memories are nothing compared to the demons that haunt her father. The haven they've found in these Rocky Mountains seems to calm his spirit—until a mysterious sojourner appears on their cabin doorstep. She can't help but be drawn to the wild aura that surrounds the man, but that strength seems to be that very thing that intensifies her father's struggles.  As Zeche is torn between his craving to protect Gretta and the awful realization that he's the one putting her in more danger, he must make a difficult choice. But when a run-in with an elk changes his plans and Gretta is faced with a danger Zeche is powerless to control, he has to find a way to protect her no matter what—even at the cost of his heart.  From a USA Today bestselling author comes another thrilling tale of love and courage on the western frontier.

  The Good and Beautiful You -...

  Heal Your Toxic Self-Narratives to Experience True Transformation
  The Christian faith is not only about belief and practices, it is also about the kind of people that we become. Yet some of the biggest barriers to our transformation come from our toxic self-narratives. These narratives shape the way we see ourselves and the way we interact in the world. God designed us with a deep longing in our souls to be wanted, loved, alive, and connected to God. Healing our souls requires more than knowing what God thinks about us. Our healing comes not through reason alone, but through revelation.
  "The best practice I have seen in Christian spiritual formation" was Dallas Willard's endorsement of the Good and Beautiful series in its early years. Now this fourth book in the series, The Good and Beautiful You, addresses the self-narratives that hinder spiritual growth and the desires of the soul that only God can satisfy.
  In The Good and Beautiful You, you'll find:
  
  - How Scripture reveals the beauty and goodness of our own souls and how we long for healing that only God can provide,
  - Spiritual practices that help us live into that reality, and
  - A small group discussion guide to facilitate transformation in community.
  The Good and Beautiful You will serve as a welcome companion on your journey to discover who you truly are in Christ.
  About the Good and Beautiful Series
  The Good and Beautiful Series includes four essential discipleship books from James Bryan Smith. Work through these proven Bible study resources individually or with a group to learn who God is, what it means to be a Christian, how to live in community, and how to address toxic self-narratives that hinder spiritual growth.

  The Story of the Trinity -...

  One God. Three Persons. But how? 
   
  · Discover the incredible true story of how Christians came to understand the doctrine of the Trinity 
  · Understand the Nicene Creed as a beautiful and balanced confession of our faith 
  · From a dynamic writer and respected professor 
   
  Christians believe in the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. One God in three persons. Yet many would be hard-pressed to explain why they believe this, or even where it might be found in Scripture. In engaging, accessible prose, The Story of the Trinity relates the settings, characters, and conflicts that led to the Council of Nicaea and the creation of the Nicene Creed, a simple yet beautiful statement of faith that expresses core Christian beliefs that continue to be affirmed worldwide.  
   
  Rather than getting bogged down in dry semantics, Bryan M. Litfin recounts the dynamic story of how the one God revealed himself as triune in both the Old and New Testaments, unfolding this core doctrine of the church so that it not only makes sense, but brings glory to God and expresses the true nature of the gospel.

  "Refreshingly unstuffy. It's a glorious gift to get to sit at the feet of a brilliant theological scholar who has the tender heart of a pastor. The Story of the Trinity is that kind of experience."--Lisa Harper, bestselling author, speaker, and host of the Back Porch Theology podcast 
   
  "A masterclass in distilling biblical, theological, and historical content into an engaging and enjoyable narrative of cosmic proportions. Skeptics and believers alike will profit from Litfin's charm and sagacity."--Coleman M. Ford, PhD, assistant professor of humanities, Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary 
   
  "Highly recommended. How encouraging to observe such a rigorous study from a well-known evangelical theologian!"--Patrick Henry Reardon, senior editor, Touchstone: A Journal of Mere Christianity

  The Lost World of the Prophets -...

  John H. Walton

  Being responsive to God is at the heart of prophecy. But readers of ancient prophecies and apocalyptic literature—including those in the Old Testament—can come away thoroughly perplexed. Are the prophets speaking about their own times, about our present, or about some still-unrealized future? 
   
   
   
  It's common to study prophecy with a focus on the sole question of prediction and fulfillment, either for the sake of apologetics or for understanding the end times, but such an approach can fail to track with the original intent of the authors. 
   
   
   
  John Walton applies his signature method to help us recover the lost world of the prophets. To read these biblical books well, we must understand: the role of the prophet, the nature of prophetic literature, the theological significance of prophecy, and how apocalyptic differs from prophecy. 
   
   
   
  A fresh reading of the Old Testament text in light of the ancient Near Eastern context can open new avenues of awareness. Walton provides a clear, helpful guide to the nature of biblical prophecy and apocalyptic literature that will help readers avoid potential misuse and reclaim the message of the prophets for their lives.
