The Justice of Jesus - Reimagining Your Church's Life Together to Pursue Liberation and Wholeness

Joash P. Thomas

Sinossi

"Theologically grounded and refreshingly practical."--Kristin Kobes Du Mez, New York Times bestselling author of Jesus and John Wayne 
 
What if the way we've been taught to follow Jesus is missing something essential? What if there's more to the gospel than we've experienced--something that could revolutionize how we love our neighbors and serve our communities? 
 
In The Justice of Jesus, public theologian and international speaker Joash Thomas reveals how authentic biblical faith naturally leads to caring for the vulnerable and working for positive change in our neighborhoods. Drawing from his unique perspective serving in churches across different cultures and continents, Thomas shows how justice isn't just a "social issue"--it's at the very heart of what it means to follow Christ. Whether you're a pastor, small group leader, or simply want to make a real difference in your community, this book offers practical wisdom you can actually use: 
 
● simple steps to help your church better serve struggling families in your neighborhood 
● biblical foundations that show why caring for others isn't optional for Christians 
● real success stories from churches that are making a tangible impact in their communities 
● practical ideas for prayer, volunteering, and partnerships that don't require a huge budget 
● fresh insights on following Jesus that will deepen your faith and expand your heart 
 
This isn't about politics. It's about discipleship. 
 
The Justice of Jesus is perfect for: 
 
· church leaders seeking authentic community engagement 
· small groups wanting to study practical discipleship 
· Christians curious about faith-based social action 
· anyone asking, "How can my faith make a real difference?" 
 
Thomas doesn't just point out problems; he provides hope and concrete solutions. Drawing from Scripture and real-world examples, he shows how ordinary believers can do extraordinary things when they embrace Jesus's vision for justice and healing.  
 
The Justice of Jesus will inspire you with achievable ways to live out your faith more fully and help your church become a beacon of hope in your community.

Josh Packard

Research-based strategies for Christian leaders to engage Gen Z and Gen Alpha 
 
In a world where young people are increasingly disconnected from traditional religious institutions and influenced by social media, church leaders face an urgent challenge: how to authentically engage Gen Z and Gen Alpha in meaningful faith conversations. 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; 
● digital-age tools - effective approaches for engaging youth who grew up online and think in micronarratives; 
● relationship-building frameworks - how to establish relational authority and create authentic connections with younger generations; and 
● 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. 
 
Whether you're a senior pastor, youth minister, church staff member, or volunteer leader, this book provides the research-backed tools you need to build meaningful relationships with Gen Z and Gen Alpha.

Lady Maybe - Revised 10th...

Julie Klassen

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.
