  A Pastor Looks at Physical Exercise and Its Potential to Serve Spiritual Life and Joy
  We live in an age dominated by screens. For many, life is sedentary, and it's become increasingly difficult to prioritize physical activity. Quietly conformed to this new normal, they feel sluggish and unmotivated. Others, however, have become entangled in a fitness culture that prioritizes the self, fuels pride, and coddles idolatry. Is it possible to make exercise holy?
  A Little Theology of Exercise explores how stewarding our bodies can serve the soul, honor God, and bless others. Combining biblical texts with practical guidance, pastor and author David Mathis encourages readers to embrace modest exercise as a way to deepen their knowledge and enjoyment of Christ and then reflect his love in the world. By placing Christ at the center of physical training, readers will discover a greater joy in exercise and an even deeper joy in their relationship with God.
  
  - Christ Centered: Demonstrates how effective body stewardship serves the soul, fostering the ability to know and enjoy Christ better 
  - Balanced: Helps readers embrace new healthy habits while navigating the challenges of sub-Christian motivations 
  - Timely: In our sedentary age, this resource spurs physical movement and aims to enrich spiritual joy
  - Written by David Mathis: Bestselling author of Habits of Grace: Enjoying Jesus through the Spiritual Disciplines

  Understand the End Times and Our Shared Hope for the Future 
   
  Biblical prophecies about the end times have confused, confounded, and even divided God's people for centuries. But the reason Scripture gives us hints about the future is to provide the encouragement we need to endure the present, confident that God keeps his promises. 
   
  In this balanced look at four major views of the end times, bestselling author Bryan Chapell explains the primary ways Christians have interpreted biblical prophecy about the last days, not so that we might pick a hill to die on but so that we can cling to what unites us in Christ. He answers questions such as 
   
  ● Will Jesus's return be preceded by a single world government?  
  ● Will every person have a government-issued ID or mark?  
  ● Does Christ return once or twice?  
  ● Will believers go through a Great Tribulation?  
  ● Will there be a literal battle of Armageddon?  
  ● Does it even matter what we believe about future events? 
   
  No matter what end-times view we find most compelling, in God's plans we can find strength for today and hope for tomorrow.

  Encouragement - The Unexpected...

  According to Drs. Larry Crabb and Dan Allender, encouragement is more than a compliment or a pat on the back. It's a skill that can be mastered by anyone. Crabb and Allender ask: "What must we know in order to fulfill the biblical exhortation to 'encourage one another?'" Encouragement provides the answer. 
  Part one deals with understanding encouragement, and part two explores the process of encouragement, including such practical how-tos as developing a careful selection of encouraging words; cultivating active listening skills; using biblical fellowship to move beyond superficial smiles and shallow greetings; and recognizing subtle opportunities for encouragement. 
  Without the encouragement of a caring community, biblical truth taught in church tends to just thicken people's defense layers. But authenticity, freedom, and greater love for God and others are the fruit of encouragement, and evidence of the tremendous power God invests in individuals who practice it.
