  "Jackson's visionary account is a beautiful model of sacrificial love." -- Publishers Weekly Starred Review 
  The House That Love Built is the quintessential story of one woman's questioning what it means to be an American--and a Christian--in light of a broken immigration system. Through tender stories of opening her heart and home to immigrants, Sarah Jackson shines a holy light on loving our neighbor. 
  Sarah Jackson once thought immigration justice was administered through higher walls and longer fences. Then she met an immigrant--a deported young father separated from his US-citizen family--and everything changed. As Sarah began to know fractured families ravaged by threats in their homeland and further traumatized in US detention, biblical justice took on a new meaning. 
  As Sarah opened her heart--and her home--to immigrants, she experienced a surprising transformation and the gift of extraordinary community. The work she began through the ministry of Casa de Paz joined the centuries-old Christian tradition of hospitality, shining a holy light on what it means to love our neighbor. 
  The dilemma of undocumented people continues to hover over America, and it raises urgent questions for every Christian:What is our responsibility to the "stranger" in our midst?What does God's kingdom look like in the global-political reality of immigration?What difference can one person make? 
  Sarah engages these questions through profound and tender stories, placing listeners in the shoes of individuals on every side of the issue--asylum seekers torn from their families, the guards who oversee them, ordinary people with lapsed visas, the families left to survive on their own, the unheralded advocates for immigrants' rights, and the government officials who decide the fates of others. 
  Ultimately, Sarah's journey illuminates how hope can be restored through simple yet radical acts of love.

  This series discusses the profound notion of “legendary living” by using Eric’s father as a muse. He was not an extraordinary man in any earthly sense of the word, but his impact upon Eric’s life was extraordinary. His everyday actions of love, care, patience, and self-sacrifice have been immortalized. Why? Partly because of how he chose to live his life, which was marked by exceptional decisions amidst a self-fogged generation. And partly because, as a son, Eric has chosen to remember it, cherish it, and pay tribute to it.  
  Each of us wants to to live a life that matters, generating an impact that is felt long after we are gone. It’s a deeply human thing. But, most of us when it comes to living lives that really count, are unwilling to do what it takes. If we want to live a life that will alter and impact the world, we must be willing to go against the grain of culture. We must be willing to sacrifice human comforts. And we must be willing to forgo human applause. The truly legendary life is one that maximizes the value and importance of every action performed and every word spoken. It recognizes the desperate need for the power of Jesus Christ to be the enabling and equipping vigor behind every movement and deed. 
  This is an Ellerslie Live Teaching Series from Eric Ludy, recorded live in front of an audience.

These practical tools from God’s Word will help you learn to:Retaliate against your anxiety by filling your heart with truth and making it inhospitable to terrorStop being victimized by your bad behaviors and become the victor you were born to be Overcome self-imposed isolation by learning to think right so you can live rightSpare your family unnecessary heartache by confronting your dysfunction so they don’t have to

  A User-Friendly Introduction to Interpreting and Understanding God's Word
  Many Christians view the Bible as a book that they know they should read, but it can be hard to know where to start. If they spend time regularly reading it, it can often feel like a chore to be checked off for the day. What many miss is that the Bible is a sweeping story full of narrative, poetry, and letters—something to be marveled at and enjoyed. 
  In The Epic Story of the Bible, Greg Gilbert aims to teach Christians—or those interested in Christianity—what the Bible is and how to study it. Adapted from the ESV Story of Redemption Bible, Gilbert examines major themes woven throughout Scripture and shows readers how to understand its various genres, helping them appreciate the word of God with less confusion and greater confidence.
