  Small Groups for the Rest of Us...

  Most churches in America struggle to have a significant percentage of their adult attendance in small groups. According to recent research done by Lifeway Research, only “33 percent of churchgoers attend classes or groups for adults (such as Sunday school, Bible study, small groups, or Adult Bible Fellowships) four or more times in a typical month. Fourteen percent attend two or three times a month.” 
  Life transformation happens best within the context of community, so if a church is going to be intentional about discipleship they have to develop on-ramps to small groups that reach people on the fringes and beyond. If we continue to offer small groups to the normal church attenders, a majority of the people who show up to church are never reached. 
  Pastors, church staff and small group leaders are trying to figure out how to make small groups work in their church and they don’t know how. Small Groups For The Rest Of Us gives them practical, proven strategies on moving people from the fringes into biblically based communities. 
  Reflection questions are included in the audiobook companion PDF download.

  Love - The Mysterious Logic of...

  'What our world needs most of all today is love… because the deepest, albeit often unacknowledged, human longing of our time is the longing for true love.' – Pietro Archiati
  The word love has become so hackneyed that it can mean almost anything. Yet the concept or idea of love remains one of most unfathomable mysteries of human life. Here, in five carefully sculpted chapters, Pietro Archiati takes up the challenge to illuminate and expand upon our understanding of this most fundamental and unique quality of human existence, beginning with the great themes of 'Love and Hate' – the 'salt and pepper of life' – and concluding with 'Realism and Idealism': Is it really possible to love the whole of humanity? And, how do we balance individual freedom with the ideal of fraternity?
  Along this journey, the author asks and addresses numerous questions, such as: What are the causes of sympathy and antipathy, and is love more than a feeling? What do masculine and feminine really mean today, and what role does sexuality play in freedom? What value is the heart without the head (and the head without the heart)? And what do the great religions – in particular, Islam and Christianity – have to say on these subjects? Archiati tackles the difficult and problematic topics of 'Love and Sexuality', 'Love and Death' and 'Love and Reason'. As a special focus, he investigates 'the logic of the heart' and what it can mean for humanity's future development.

  An author on the cutting edge of today's theology and science discussions argues that creedal Christianity has much to contribute to the ongoing conversation. This book contains an intellectual history of theology's engagement with science during the modern period, critiques current approaches, and makes a constructive proposal for how a Christian theological vision of natural knowledge can be better pursued. The author explains that it is good both for religion and for science when Christians treat theology as their first truth discourse. Foreword by David Bentley Hart.

  Grab your favorite mug and maybe a napkin because I am spilling my favorite Chai tea on my vulnerable “come to Jesus” moments while dating a cop and being a police wife in this police wife devotional. My officer and I dated for 10 years before getting married and have now been married for ten years with two young boys. Through Bible verses, my candid real-life dating a cop and police wife stories, and prayers, you will transform into a peaceful police wife with a sense of purpose and love. To keep things light, there is some police wife humor splashed in there too. 
  I have been in your heels, girl. Your husband is working the entire weekend again. His schedule changed yet again. Your husband tells you not to go to that Mexican restaurant down the road, because he arrested someone there and you love Mexican food. Do you sit there thinking “guess I’ll miss you then, hubby”? Okay. That last one is a joke! 
  What do other police wives say about this devotional? Erin says: “A LEOW must read! So relatable on so many levels! I told myself I was going to read a little bit every day after my son went to bed. I ended up not being able to put the book down and read it all in 2 hours the first night!…” 
  What makes this devotional different than others out there? 1. I share raw, real stories. 2. Comedy throughout! 3. My husband has has worked in the city of Los Angeles in gang units and other specialized units for about 16 years. 4. I am a Catholic-convert raised by hippies on ranches in Hawaii and Las Vegas. 5. I share my experiences juggling demands of my husband’s injury on duty, Covid-19 pandemic, and Black Lives Matter riots. 
  Is this book for police girlfriends dating a cop too? Yes! I include bible verses, stories, and prayers from our early dating years.

  Her Fear - The Amish of Hart County

  In New York Times bestselling author Shelley Shepard Gray’s latest novel of suspense in her Amish of Hart County series, an EMT falls for a woman with ties to an Amish community where people are dying similar, suspicious deaths. 
  Sadie Detweiler never imagined she’d move to Kentucky, yet here she is: a pregnant, unmarried Amish girl banished by unforgiving parents to live with kin she barely knows. The men are gruff and her cousins are secretive. Worst of all, elderly matriarch Verba becomes mysteriously ill shortly after Sadie moves in. When EMT Noah Freeman arrives, Sadie immediately notices he’s unlike any other Amish man she’s met. Noah is warm, confident, and has an easy way with practically everyone in the community, both Amish and English. Though Sadie is drawn to him, she has little hope he will reciprocate her feelings once he learns she’s with child. 
  Noah can’t understand how a girl as sweet and lovely as Sadie ended up sleeping on a cot in Verba Stauffer’s kitchen. He also senses Sadie is terrified of something. Concerned, he checks up on her. Eventually they strike up a friendship and soon their attraction is undeniable. When Verba later dies at the hospital and her death is followed by two others, Noah’s boss wants him to dig around the Amish community for clues. He agrees—for Sadie’s sake—because only the truth will keep her safe and by his side.
