  Does prayer matter?
  What we believe about prayer reflects what we believe about God. Maybe you believe God is all-powerful and wise, but not attentive to your little corner of the world? Fortunately, the Bible tells us a different story. Over and over again, we are reminded that God is both great and good, and that we are cared for and fully known by him. So God welcomes all our prayers and invites us to pray about everything—to entrust him with all things both big and small, joyful and enraging, and to pray fervently.
  Whether you consider yourself a prayer warrior or prayer newbie (or even a prayer skeptic), you are invited to join this six-week Bible study experience. Liz Ditty, an experienced spiritual director and retreat leader, invites groups and individuals to experience dozens of ways to pray alone and together. As she engages the story of Elijah and his encounters with God, she guides us toward less awkward, more authentic prayer.

  Exploring the Life-Changing Impact of Heavenly Mindedness
  Though they're destined for eternal glory, many Christians languish in earthly mindedness. Having never set their sights on things above, they lack hope in adversity and vibrancy in their faith. Where can believers find joy and inspiration for everyday life? It's in the already-and-not-yet reality of heaven. 
  Following the unexpected loss of his firstborn child, pastor Cameron Cole's daily focus shifted drastically heavenward. He discovered that an intentional eternal mindset can bring meaning and joy to every Christian's life. In this heartfelt, theologically rich book, Cole draws from his personal story of grief, the apostle Paul's letters, and the examples of believers throughout history to demonstrate how heavenly mindedness fosters contentment, hope in suffering, motivation for missions and evangelism, commitment to morality and ethics, and no fear in death.
  
  - Informative and Captivating: Cole combines personal stories with a biblical theology of Paul's letters about heaven
  - Offers Hope and Joy: A great resource for those who are grieving or need spiritual encouragement
  - Practical: Features a personal note at the end of each chapter that explains how to apply an eternal mindset

  Providence in the Story of...

  The doctrine of providence is often too abstract, complex, or detached from real-life situations for introductory students. Drawing on years of experience in the classroom and the church, Adamson Co offers an introductory guide that uses the creation motif of the Bible to highlight the importance of providence for the Christian life. 
   
   
   
  Co begins with a brief introduction to providence to give students the "state of the question." He then explores the classical theme of the seventh and eighth days of creation as a helpful way to understand providence. He sets providence and human existence within the metanarrative of the Bible while explicating the doctrine in an overview fashion. Co demonstrates how the seventh and eighth days of creation bring clarity to traditional issues raised in systematic theology, such as preservation, governance, and concurrence; the problem of evil; and divine sovereignty and human free will. 
   
   
   
  Providence in the Story of Scripture challenges listeners to live out a life of partnership with God in his providence and shows how the blessed hope of the Christian faith is God's life-transforming providence for today. The book includes a foreword by Kevin J. Vanhoozer.

  A story of someone who was redeemed, restored and filled with gratitude. 
  From her very birth Julie Dee Holder was part of a family that raised her to know Jesus and coached her to exercise the principles and morals of what a Godly walk should look like. Somewhere in the adolescent years of life, she strayed from the path of righteousness that she had started out on. Making bad decisions became a hobby that went from her younger years into her adult life leading to trials and tribulations that would influence her whole outlook of who she used to be, and who she had become. Then God spoke...loudly. Julie knew it was either sin or God and obedience. The choice that she made would change her life forever. She captured the very heartbeat of Holy Spirit with such excitement; it changed her in drastic and fantastic ways! 
  Although she was not a processional songwriter or trained singer, Julie was blessed with the opportunity to write her story in song and recorded a CD. Julie has also participated in two podcasts and then was led to tell her true-life story in this testimony book. Sharing her truths, mistakes, lessons, and victories would encourage others to embrace their stories, recognize we are not our mistakes, and realize it is never too late to change. It is never too late to become obedient to the Lord and step into the life He has designed for us and to step into our glorious callings! God took a story of shame and turned into a story of glory!
