Editora: IVP

Sinopse

Do you feel like something's missing? Like the story you're living in lacks purpose or direction?
Have you been searching for something deeper—a sense of belonging, purpose, or peace that the world seems unable to give? When you're told that the world is just physical, life has no higher meaning, and fulfillment comes from chasing temporary pleasures, it's no wonder emptiness creeps in. But what if there's a way to replace that hollow feeling with fulfillment, purpose, and hope? What if you could awaken to a more meaningful story—one written by a God who loves you and knows you?
When Life Feels Empty by Isaac Serrano offers a road map back to what your soul has been yearning for. Drawing on the rich wisdom of the Christian faith, Serrano sheds light on seven ancient practices that have anchored countless lives for generations. These practices aren't just about lofty ideals or abstract concepts—they're about actions you can take today to reconnect with God and rediscover the fullness of life he intends for you. Through thoughtful insights, engaging historical context, and practical steps, Serrano outlines how to replace the empty promises of materialism with the profound depth of a life centered on God as Father.
This book will show you how to:

- Step away from the disorder of modern life and reconnect with timeless truths.
- Discover a path to wholeness and fulfillment.
- Stop settling for feeling lost or incomplete.
- Turn toward the One who has been pursuing you the entire time.
Are you ready to take the first step on this life-changing journey? You were not made to walk through life feeling disconnected, empty, or searching for meaning. Don't wait for a better time to come along. The invitation is open now, and the next chapter of your story is waiting to unfold. Take the first step today.

Faithful Futures offers a research-based lifeline with practical tools and strategies designed specifically for connecting with younger generations in today's rapidly changing cultural landscape. 
 
This actionable resource provides church leaders with 
 
● research-based insights - fresh data on Gen Z and Gen Alpha faith patterns, digital behaviors, and cultural values; 
● practical ministry strategies - proven methods for building trust and fostering belonging;

● ready-to-use resources - exercises, tools, and discussion questions. 
 
Traditional youth ministry approaches are often outdated and ineffective for digital natives who grew up online. Sociologist Josh Packard advocates a revolutionary approach that emphasizes relational authority, cultivates genuine belonging, and understands faith as an ongoing conversation rather than a one-time decision. 
 
Drawing on fresh data, innovative practices, and more than twenty years of sociological experience, this comprehensive guide equips religious leaders to understand and engage younger generations authentically. It translates complex concepts into practical strategies, addressing the unique cultural and digital landscapes of today's youth and offering new ways to resonate with their realities.

One final cry of terror, and suddenly her world shifted violently, until a blinding collision scattered her mind and shook her bones. Then, the pain. The freezing water. And as all sensation drifted away, a hand reached for hers before all faded into darkness. . . .  
 
In the midst of a fierce storm, a carriage carrying Sir John Mayfield, Lady Marianna Mayfield, and her lady's companion careens off a narrow cliff road, changing their fates forever. When the wreckage is found, Sir John is gravely injured, and a woman is discovered unconscious wearing a valuable ring. As the woman regains consciousness in a strange house, she grapples with fragmented memories of the accident, unsettling dreams of a child in peril, and a deep mystery tied to the ring on her finger. Surrounded by unfamiliar faces and haunted by a sense of foreboding, the survivor realizes she cannot trust anyone and must uncover the truth of what happened that stormy night, even as danger mounts and enemies conspire against her.  
 
In this revised and updated 10th anniversary edition of Julie Klassen's acclaimed novel, a woman's startling secrets lead her into unexpected danger and romance in Regency England. 
 
Lady Maybe is a clean Regency romance full of mystery, adventure, and a search for identity. This novel will delight fans of the amnesia trope, Julia Quinn, Jane Austen, and Mimi Matthews.
