  Life-Minded - 8 Practices for...

  *** 2025 Audie Awards Finalist! *** The Christian church does not have a great track record of unity. Yet God has called us to belong to Him and to each other.  Church is supposed to be a place for meaningful connection—a community that worships, prays, and participates together with the singular purpose of glorifying God. But sometimes that unity is fragile. As brothers and sisters in Christ, we want to love each other well, but problems inevitably creep in, causing divisions. The apostle Paul reminded the church to “make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace” (Ephesians 4:3).  Life-Minded draws our attention to the reality of that text: it does take effort to stay unified with our spiritual family! Saying it like it is, but saying it with grace, Pastor Brady Boyd echoes Paul's words in a contemporary context with 8 practical challenges to put peaceable unity into action. Accept the challenges by yourself or with others in a group, and experience the harmony God intended for His eternal church.

  The first autobiography ever written, and one of the most profound testaments of faith, ever.
  
  
   
  
  
   "This book is the masterpiece from which all other Christian memoirs flow. Augustine's astonishing story remains as fresh as it did when he wrote it in the late fourth century. The Confessions still speaks with a clear, vivid and altogether distinctive voice to believers and seekers searching for the One who will give rest to their restless hearts."  —James Martin, SJ, author of My Life with the Saints

  Finding Freedom in Constraint -...

  The constraints of the spiritual life, practiced in community, are what set us free. Practicing spiritual disciplines can seem difficult, especially when we undertake them as isolated individuals. But we were never meant to practice them alone. 
   
   
   
  Jared Patrick Boyd reveals how the constraints practiced in Christian community shape us into the way of Christ. He re-anchors the practices of constraint within the ascetic tradition of monasticism, religious orders, and the early church fathers. Boyd writes, "The constraints of a rule of life are what make life together, lived for one another, possible. A rule of life is not meant to be primarily personal, but communal. It's not primarily meant to guide my life. It is meant to describe our way of life together." Constraint is the practice of learning to pay deeper attention to the things in our inner world that prevent us from progressing in the school of love. 
   
   
   
  Discover a deep conversation on freedom and constraint with six core practices of constraint that can form in us a greater freedom to be and become people who love as God loves. Enter into this vision with your local community (in small groups, church leadership teams, or families), and learn to make greater room to experience the love of God.

  In striking photography and informative text, this volume both celebrates and mourns Eastern European Jewish life of the early- to mid-twentieth century.From Odessa to Budapest, Warsaw, Prague, and Sarajevo, the Jews of Eastern Europe established thriving, traditional communities . And while there are still proud Jews who keep the Kehilla robust in the region, they are a shadow of their former glory. In The Last Jews of Eastern Europe, Yale Strom and photographer Brian Blue record a way of life that largely disappeared through the torment, violence, and upheaval of the twentieth century. Through the USSR, Poland, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Romania, Yugoslavia, and Bulgaria, this volume records the three great blows to Eastern European Jewry: the historical persecution of the Jews who suffered the envy of their neighbors; the slaughter of millions during World War II; and the loss of those who accepted the aliyah to Israel. It also records how the Jews of Eastern Europe laugh, weep, and sing.

  Perseverance - The Key to...

  Perseverance is often described as the ability to continue striving toward a goal despite facing difficulties, delays, or failure. It’s more than just persistence; it’s a mindset, an attitude that helps people keep going when the path gets tough. The simple act of pushing forward, no matter how challenging the circumstances, is what defines perseverance. It’s a quality that separates those who eventually succeed from those who give up along the way. 
  In a world that often rewards immediate results, perseverance is sometimes overlooked. Instant gratification is frequently prioritized, and people are encouraged to move on quickly when things don’t go as planned. However, the truth is that success rarely comes without overcoming some form of adversity. Whether it's achieving a career milestone, personal growth, or completing a challenging project, obstacles will always appear. What makes the difference is how you handle these moments. Perseverance allows you to see beyond temporary setbacks and focus on the bigger picture. 
  The role of perseverance in success cannot be overstated. Think about some of the most well-known figures in history. The inventors, artists, athletes, and leaders who achieved greatness didn’t necessarily have an easy path to follow. What they did have, however, was the determination to press on even when success seemed distant. They saw failure not as an endpoint but as a lesson, a stepping stone toward their goal.
