  Read by the author. 
  It doesn't matter who you are or what you've done--God wants you. It's time to throw off everything that hinders and pursue what truly matters: life with Jesus. 
  Growing up the son of a preacher--a traveling evangelist who was an upright man behind the pulpit and a violent husband at home--Stephen McWhirter wanted nothing to do with Christianity. This darkness led to eleven years of rebellion, addiction, and brokenness. He sought escape through anything the world could offer: drugs, alcohol, theft, pornography, entertainment. He carried so much pain that he cussed people out if they even mentioned Jesus's name. 
  But late one night, as Stephen sat in bed reading a Christian book with drugs on the table next to him, God got hold of his heart. As he read, Stephen was acutely aware of the presence of God. The Lord impressed upon Stephen that he was real, he was good, and he had a purpose for Stephen's life. 
  In Radically Restored, Stephen shares how his family trauma and self-inflicted pain gave way to finding a place of purpose and mission as a son of God, first and foremost, and then as a worship leader who now shares Jesus with the world. His testimony and encouragement will help you:Find effective ways to confront and heal from past trauma and brokennessUnderstand just how far God will go to save youTruly understand the power of God's forgivenessLearn to see yourself as a true son or daughter of GodExperience what it means to be fully alive 
    
  Finding God in the messiness of life is just the start. Accepting who you are and what God has made you for is your purpose. See through Stephen's journey that miracles still happen; peace is possible; and no matter what, God loves you, and he is for you.

  Read by the author.  
  No matter what your story is, God wants to heal you, make you whole, and call you into your true identity. 
  Has your relationship with God ever felt confusing, isolating, bitter, distant, or just plain nonexistent? How would it change your life if you believed--truly believed--that the God of the universe is running after you? Full speed. And he will never, ever stop. 
  Though life can sometimes appear bleak, there are a thousand different ways God is moving even if you can't see it. Called Back to Who You Are is an invitation to see with the eyes of faith, guiding you through Scripture and the events of your own life to unearth ways God's wild love has been (and is!) pursuing you, calling you back to your true identity, and ushering you into peace. 
  Whitney Lowe transparently and vulnerably shares stories from her life, as well as biblical stories--including Gomer's in the book of Hosea--to help you:Understand exactly how God pursues us all (and why)Identify God's promises to you in the areas of identity, rest, and revivalDiscover God's promises throughout Scripture that he will never abandon youFind reassurance that your sin will not consume youLearn how to respond to God's pursuit of you with worship, prayer, and more 
    
  God can do absolutely anything--more than you can even imagine--with a heart that continues to return to him. No matter what you have done or what you're dealing with, God's final word is always love. And if God's steadfast love gets the final word, where does that leave us? Confident. At rest. Revived.

  A Short Guide to Church - What...

  Dean Inserra

  A common claim in modern American Christianity is that you don’t have to go to church to be a Christian. The writers of the New Testament, however, would find a Christian faith separate from the church to be unrecognizable. Dean Inserra has often said to his congregation, “There is more to being a Christian than going to church, but there certainly isn’t less.” Belonging to a local church is not something made up by a Christian subculture. The local church was God’s design. It is his grand idea to display his glory and provide the avenue for his people to flourish as his missionaries to the world. When one begins to see the church as God’s plan, the mindset shifts from going to church in order to claim Christianity to seeing oneself as a participant in what God has given his people as a gift.  There is a purpose, design, and reason for why the church functions in the manner she does. Consistent practices that may seem as merely tradition upon first glance, are prescribed by God for his people to practice together until Christ returns. The local church, congregated together, is the Lord’s primary plan for discipleship, fellowship, and mission for the Christian life. A Short Guide to Church is not a technical treatment of ecclesiology, but rather a book to put in the hands of every prospective and current church member, to help the body of Christ, expressed locally, to see the purposes and plan of the local church for their life of faith, and why it truly is the best thing going.

  Do you ever feel like your spiritual life is incomplete? That makes sense, because we can tend to separate things God always meant to go together. We say we are a thinker or a feeler. A “be” person or a “do” person. A “truth” person or a “Spirit” person.  While separating these things seems normal to many Christians, doing so is as crazy as calling yourself an “inhaler” or an “exhaler”—after all, both are necessary to survive. If you’re feeling like you’re missing something on your spiritual journey, this segmented view of relating to God could be the problem.  In Whole, journey along with Kathryn Maack and Aaron Williams (founders of Dwell Ministries) as they explore the spiritual change that’s possible when learn how to reunite these areas of your Christian life: head + heart  being + doing  truth + spirit  sinner + saint  God never meant for you to relate to Him with only part of yourself. He wants the whole you. Discover the life-changing power of relating to God with all of yourself.
