Say Goodbye to What Holds You...

Krissy Nelson, Laura Harris Smith

God thinks you can do anything—do you believe it? 
 
 
 
As women, we tend to shoulder the burdens of our family, friends, and work—not to mention the heaviness of world events. As a result, we often feel overwhelmed, stuck, full of fear, believing we are never enough. We unknowingly build walls that hinder us from thriving in who God created us to be. 
 
 
 
Sharing from her own story, author Krissy Nelson helps you identify the twelve most common walls that hold women back. Diving into biblical stories and truth, she gives you the spiritual and practical tools to see those walls come crashing down, rediscover a vibrant life of joy, and move forward from weary survival to daily revival through Jesus. 
 
 
 
You were created to flourish in any storm or season of life. It's time to break down your barriers and step confidently into all God has for you.

How Should We Then Live? - The...

Francis A. Schaeffer

Francis Schaeffer's Classic Analysis of the Rise and Decline of Western Thought and Culture
Civilizations throughout history have built societies around their own limited value systems including rulers, finite gods, or relativism—only to fail. The absence of a Christian foundation eventually leads to breakdown, and those signs are visible in present-day culture as well. Can modern society avoid the same fate?
In this latest edition of How Should We Then Live?, theologian Francis A. Schaeffer traces the decline of Western culture from the fall of Rome, through the Middle Ages and the Enlightenment, and up to the twentieth century. Studying humanism's impact on philosophy, science, and religion, he shows how this worldview historically results in apathy, chaos, and decline. Schaeffer's important work calls on readers to live instead by Christian ethics, placing their trust in the infinite personal God of the Bible. Originally written in 1976, How Should We Then Live? remains remarkably applicable today.

- A Theology Classic: Written by renowned Christian philosopher Francis A. Schaeffer
- For Those Interested in Philosophy and History: Engages with the ideas of Plato, John Locke, Thomas Jefferson, and Voltaire, and examines the art, architecture, and ideas that shaped modern society 
- Explores the Importance of a Christian Worldview: A practical assessment of the evolution of culture and the steadfast alternative offered by the biblical perspective

2 Thessalonians - (Pauline Epistle)

Christopher Glyn

Written shortly after its prequel, 2 Thessalonians was written by the Apostle Paul to reassure the Thessalonian church of the second coming of Christ and to refute the teachings of false prophets. After several forgeries of Paul's letters, the apostle himself alleviated their fears that the time of the end had already begun. 
In 2 Thessalonians, there are many prophecies depicting the rapture, the Antichrist and the times of tribulation which are detailed fully in Revelation.
