You Were Never Meant to Do It All - A 40-Day Devotional on the Goodness of Being Human

Kelly M. Kapic

Sinossi

2025 Gospel Coalition Book Award (Devotional Literature) 
 
Are you exhausted, anxious, and sick of feeling like you should always be doing one more thing? 
 
In this 40-day devotional, award-winning author Kelly Kapic helps you embrace the truth that God never intended for you to do it all. Topics include: 
 
● facing your limits in a world that demands more, more, more 
● why God's love isn't contingent on your behavior 
● the goodness of your body and the importance of embodied worship 
● finding beauty in humility, dependence on others, and rest 
● cultivating gratitude and embracing the rhythms and seasons of life 
 
Each devotion begins with a meaningful quote and ends with reflection questions. Kapic shows that limitations aren't sinful but rather that God purposefully designed humans to have limits and depend on one another. Rightly appreciated, these good limits promote freedom, joy, growth, and community. 
 
This devotional is based on Kapic's 2022 book, You're Only Human, and covers the same themes in a more accessible format. As you take this 40-day devotional journey, you'll follow a path to more holistic living that fosters a vision for healthy self-understanding, life-giving relationships, and meaningful contributions to the world.

Psalms 1-72

Derek Kidner

"The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want."
"Thy word is a lamp to my feet."
"Search me, O God, and know my heart!"
Such phrases leap to mind whenever Christians lift their hearts to God. For many, in fact, the Psalms are the richest part of the Old Testament. Derek Kidner provides a fresh and penetrating guide to Psalms 1 through 72. He analyzes each psalm in depth, comments on interpretative questions and brings out the universal relevance of the texts. He also gives special help on the psalmists' cries for vengeance. Together with its companion volume (Psalms 73-150), both of which were formerly part of the Tyndale Old Testament Commentaries series, this introduction and commentary will inspire and deepen personal worship.

When God Became White -...

Grace Ji-Sun Kim

When Western Christians think about God, the default image that comes to mind is usually white and male. How did that happen?
Christianity is rooted in the ancient Near East among people of darker skin. But over time, European Christians cast Jesus in their own image, with art that imagined a fair-skinned Savior in the style of imperial rulers. Grace Ji-Sun Kim explores the historical origins and theological implications of how Jesus became white and God became a white male. The myth of the white male God has had a devastating effect as it enabled Christianity to have a profoundly colonialist posture across the globe. Kim examines the roots of the distortion, its harmful impact on the world, and shows what it looks like to recover the biblical reality of a nonwhite, nongendered God. Rediscovering God as Spirit leads us to a more just faith and a better church and world.
