  Bridging The Gap - From Natural...

  • 0

  Bridging the Gap speaks to the chasm many believers feel between knowing prayer is powerful and actually experiencing that power in real life. Jeff is an ordained pastor who has devoted more than fifteen years to prayer ministry. He knows what it is to pray fervently for a spouse-and still lose her to cancer. On that painful road, Jesus met Jeff with a simple but costly invitation: "Release her to Me." Christ tenderly healed Jeff's heart through surrender and reshaped his understanding of prayer. 
  The lessons in this book were forged on the front lines of ministry to thousands of spiritually hungry believers and unbelievers-through Wellspring Prayer Center, and at events and workshops around the world. With the eye of an artist and the soul of a down-to-Kentuckian, Jeff offers a perspective marked by transparency, humility, and hope. He does not claim to have all the answers (though he has seen many prayers answered), but he gently challenges readers to wrestle honestly with the questions-and, above all, to draw near to the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. 
  You'll laugh, cry, and pray alongside Jeff as he weaves Scripture through real-life stories that invite encounter. Bridging the Gap can be read devotionally, used as a training manual, or both-meeting you right where you are and calling you deeper into a living, relational prayer life to help mend a broken and hurting world.

  Dani Argyle is a high school student whose best friend is a ghost-- the ghost of her father who has been missing for three years. Because her mother is overwhelmed with grief, Dani must fend for herself and her deaf younger brother.       
  Dani feels like she's fighting the world. Her peers do not accept her because she is overweight; her school is ill-equipped to handle an astute girl with ADHD, and the popular girls hate her for attracting the attention of the mysterious student from Japan. When everything about her life makes her feel confined and powerless, her only goal becomes dropping out of the institution that makes her feel stupid. But when Dani discovers that a psychic has been gutting her mother's finances, she finally has an adversary worth fighting.... if only she can control her own emotions long enough to out-con a con artist.

  Throughout the Bible, we see that God entrusts each of us with authority as his image bearers, even as we remain vulnerable to loss and pain. To truly flourish, Andy Crouch argues, we must follow the way of Jesus. He perfectly blended authority and vulnerability and used his power for the liberation of others.
  In these six easy-to-use studies written by spiritual formation author Jan Johnson, you will encounter what Scripture says about power, vulnerability, humble leadership, and flourishing communities.
  As companions to the IVP Signature Collection, IVP Signature Bible Studies help individuals and groups explore and apply biblical truths found in classic books. Each session features quotations from Strong and Weak matched with Scripture passages, reflection questions, and application ideas that will equip readers to connect the text to their own lives. A leader's guide and list of suggested resources are also included.

  3 Stories About Searching for...

  There is something about the number 3.    
  The Ancient Greeks believed 3 was the perfect number, and in China 3 has always been a lucky number, and they know a thing or two.   
  Most religions also have 3 this and 3 that and, of course, in these more modern times, three’s a crowd may be too many, except when it’s a ménage à trois.  It seems good things usually come in threes. 
  Whatever history and culture says WE think 3, a hat-trick of stories, is a great number to explore themes and literary avenues that classic authors were so adept at creating.

  The Men Can't Be Saved

  A knockout debut novel that tackles a haunting question: What do our jobs do to our souls? 
   
  Seth is a junior copywriter whose latest tagline just went viral. He’s the agency’s hottest new star, or at least he wants his coworker crush to think so. But while he’s busy drooling over his future corner office, the walls crumble around him. 
   
  When his job lets him go, he can’t let go of his job. Thankfully, one former colleague can’t let him go either: Robert “Moon” McCloone, a skeezy on-the-rise exec better suited to a frat house than a boardroom. Seth tries to forget Moon and rediscover his spiritual self; he studies Kabbalah with an Orthodox  
  rabbi by day while popping illegal prescription pills by night. But with each misstep, Seth strays further from salvation—though he might get there, if he could only get out of his own way.  
   
  In his debut novel, Ben Purkert incisively peels back the layers of the male ego, revealing what’s rotten and what might be redeemed. Brimming with wit, irreverence, and soul-searching, The Men Can’t Be Saved is a startlingly original examination of work, sex, addiction, religion, branding, and ourselves.
