Sinossi

Replacing Loneliness with a Biblical Vision of Belonging
A local church should be a place of true community and connection—where people belong to God and one another. But in our individualistic culture, many Christians end up struggling with social isolation and loneliness. Lacking a sense of authentic belonging within the church, some eventually stop attending or question their faith altogether. How can believers overcome these negative cultural effects and restore the biblical vision of belonging in their churches today?
In this concise booklet, author and pastor Jeremy Linneman encourages readers to pursue a life of fellowship through 5 practices: taking initiative in hospitality, being patient in building friendships, maintaining relational stability, persisting through conflict, and praying together. By understanding the human need for belonging and reflecting on Jesus's lifestyle of mission, ministry, and care, readers will be better equipped to build fruitful communities that bear witness to Christ's glory and purposes alone. 

- Offers a Biblical Vision of Belonging: Shows how true belonging is only found in a local Christian community 
- Useful for Church Leaders: Encourages church leaders to build needed spiritual communities that bear witness to Christ's glory alone
- Short, Accessible Format: A concise biblical exploration of belonging and community
- TGC Hard Questions Series: Equips readers with answers to difficult questions facing the modern church

    In a world that revels in outrage and embarrassing others at worst—or maybe just ignoring those we don’t like at best—Christians know they are supposed to “be loving” instead. But how? “Being loving” sounds nice, but what does love really look like, and how does it show up? Spoiler alert: it looks nothing like the world’s conventional definitions of love. After all, if those cultural approaches to love were working, why are you still witnessing people tearing each other apart on the internet, or avoiding your coworker in passive-aggressive ways, or fighting yet again with your spouse over who’s on dish duty, or bickering with your neighbor over whether your trashcan is parked in the right place?  In her much-anticipated debut book, compelling and sought-after Bible teacher Jada Edwards schools us all on how to transform our relationship with both God and others (yes, even those we don’t like!). In short, Jada reveals how we often get love wrong. But with the right definition and expression of love, so much can change—including our relationships. In this book, you’ll discover:  How to release yourself from 4 limits holding you back from fully experiencing God’s love for you  How to adopt 5 clear and surprising ways to be loving to those around you  How to be curious, free, brave, resilient, and real in your relationships  How to experience transformation in any kind of relationship  A rich, full, and loving relationship with God and others is possible, so long as you get love right. Are you ready to experience it?

    From miniature donkeys to enormous draft horses, from regal Arabian stallions to sassy Shetland ponies, horses and other equines bring us delight and comfort whenever we encounter them. Even more so, perhaps, when humans and horses are brought together through a rescue. Whether someone has started a rescue ranch on purpose or circumstances align to match up the right horse with the right person, stories of second chances warm our hearts and restore our hope. 
     
    This emotional and inspiring collection of true stories introduces you to a pony who helps a little girl get over her fear of riding, a donkey who discovers his purpose protecting vulnerable lambs, blind horses who teach their human about courage, and even a pony who somehow figures out how to drive a golf cart. By turns humorous and heartwarming, these delightful tales are the perfect companion for those times you long to slow down, take a load off, and enjoy the ride.

    Jesus metamorphosed. Celebrities from the past. Petrified disciples. Luminous cloud. An event as important as Christmas or Easter! 
    Are you a preacher wondering what you can possibly say new and interesting on Transfiguration this year? 
    Are you an everyday believer curious to learn more about this holiday celebrated every year, yet somehow overlooked and ignored? 
    Are you tired of Peter always getting bashed for offering to build booths? 
    If you answered yes to any or all of these questions, then Seven Ways of Looking at the Transfiguration needs to be at the top of your reading list! 
    Questions about the Transfiguration answered in the book: 
    What can it possibly mean for the eternal Lord to be transfigured, metamorphosed—changed? 
    Why does Luke delete the word “transfigured” from his version of the, um, well, Transfiguration? 
    Why does only Jesus’ clothing change in Mark’s Gospel, but his face, too, in Matthew and Luke? 
    Why was it Moses and Elijah, out of all possible Old Testament figures, who met with Jesus on the mountaintop? (Not because they represent “the law and the prophets”!) 
    Which mountain was it? 
    Why were Peter, James, and John the only disciples invited to see the Transfiguration? 
    Why was it so offensive for Peter to offer to build three booths for the three famous men? (Not because he was a babbling idiot!) 
    Why does God speak to Jesus at his Baptism and his Transfiguration, but not at his Resurrection? 
    Why doesn’t the Gospel of John have a Transfiguration story? (Or does it?) 
    Why doesn’t St. Paul talk about the Transfiguration? (Or does he?) 
    Why does Second Peter, of all oddball little epistles, talk about the Transfiguration? 
    Will we be transfigured someday, too? 
    What essential thing does the Transfiguration tell us about Jesus that his Resurrection does not?

    Sweeping Romance and Mystery in the Edwardian Era 
     
    Brook Eden has never known where she truly belongs. When her friend Justin uncovers the fact that she is possibly a missing heiress from Yorkshire, Brook leaves the sun of the Mediterranean to travel to the moors of the North Sea and the estate of her supposed family. 
     
    The mystery of her mother's death haunts her, and though her father is quick to accept her, the rest of the family and the servants of Whitby Park are not. Only when Brook's life is threatened do they draw close--but will their loyalty come too late to save Brook from the same threat that led to tragedy for her mother? 
     
    As heir to a dukedom, Justin is no stranger to balancing responsibilities. When the matters of his estate force him far from Brook, the distance between them reveals that their friendship has grown into something much more. But how can their very different loyalties and responsibilities ever come together? 
     
    And then for a second time, the heiress of Whitby Park is stolen away because of the very rare treasure in her possession--and those who can save her still aren't sure whom to trust.
