  Who Needs Christmas Why Easter...

  Who Needs Christmas: 
  The details of the Christmas story are amazing . . . and can seem a bit unbelievable. There is the angelic announcement to Mary that she will give birth to the Messiah. The dream from God that convinces Joseph to take Jesus as his own son. The angelic host who announces Jesus' birth to the shepherds. The madness of a king who tried to put an end to Jesus' life. 
  The narrative of Jesus' birth is miraculous. But as pastor Andy Stanley explores in this four-session video study (study guide sold separately), when you look at all the events in the Old Testament leading up to this point in time, the unbelievable story of Christmas becomes quite remarkable. 
  It was only "when the set time had fully come" that God sent Jesus into the world "that we might receive adoption to sonship" (Galatians 4:4–5). God sent Jesus to do what laws and regulations, judges and prophets, and exile and punishment could not accomplish. He sent Jesus not merely to deliver us from the penalty and consequences of our sin, but to actually break the power of the enemy and free us from our slavery to sin. 
  Through Christmas, we are reminded that even when it seems God is silent, he is always working. God sent Jesus not simply to be the Savior of the world but to be the Savior in our world. Through Christmas, we are reminded that God always keeps his promises to us.

  Why Easter Matters: 
  As believers in Christ, we all would like to say that we trust in God. We would all like to claim that we believe God has our best interests in mind and that obedience to him is the best pathway to finding joy, peace, and fulfillment in life. But the truth is that we often find ourselves actively resisting the very God in whom we say we trust.  
  This was true of people even back in the days of first-century Israel when Jesus walked the earth. In this four-session study (study guide sold separately), pastor Andy Stanley explores the lives of some of these individuals and reveals how the story of Easter became real to them when they found themselves caught up in the events of Jesus' crucifixion and resurrection. These characters include figures in the Gospels such as: Joseph Caiaphas, Judas Iscariot, the two criminals on the crosses next to Jesus, and the disciples and other followers of Jesus, who found their world turned upside down when the one they believed to be the Messiah was first put to death . . . and then rose again. 
  Sessions include:The High Cost of Following Christ (21:00)The Risk of Surrendering to God (24:30)The God Who Can Be Trusted (20:00)The Foundation of Our Faith (23:00) 
  Coordinating study guide available separately.

  Paradise of Presence -...

  Paradise of Presence: A Spiritual Companion Through the Writings of Baha’u’llah 
  Paradise of Presence is not a commentary—it’s a conversation. This luminous companion guide invites readers into the heart of Baha’u’llah’s mystical teachings, tracing a path from spiritual awakening to divine intimacy. Each chapter unfolds as a threshold: detachment becomes a lifeline, fairness a moral independence, prayer a daily companionship, and imagery a doorway into eternal landscapes. 
  Rather than explaining the text, the book inhabits it. Through poetic reflection and symbolic clarity, Alison gently guides the reader from outer belief to inner resonance. The journey moves from ego-story to soul identity, from inherited systems to spiritual individuation. Along the way, devotional practices are reframed as acts of hospitality, and metaphors become maps for the heart’s own itinerary. 
  The final chapters culminate in a reading of Praised be my Lord, the Most High, where the reader is no longer observing but walking the path—verse by verse, image by image—until paradise is not deferred, but breathed. 
  Written with reverence and emotional intelligence, Paradise of Presence offers a vision of spiritual maturity where love becomes the measure, and presence becomes the place. It is a sanctuary for seekers, a mirror for mystics, and a quiet archive for those who long to live from the inside out.
