  Whether we watch quick little songbirds at our backyard feeders, keep a flock of chickens, teach parrots to talk, or stand looking up at the sky, mesmerized by the aerial acrobatics of blackbirds gathering as the leaves turn in the fall, humans have an almost universal admiration of and interest in birds. We love the birdsong of spring, the fledglings in summer, the deep V of geese in autumn, the bright spot of red cardinals against white snow. 
   
   
   
  Wild or domestic, birds are clearly one of God's best gifts. This collection of forty heartwarming true stories of our fine feathered friends from animal-lover Callie Smith Grant celebrates that gift. With stories of brave budgie brothers, serene shore birds, hungry hummingbirds, a curious crow, an owl that came into a boy's life as an answer to prayer, and many more, Consider the Birds is the perfect companion to a cozy blanket, a cup of tea, and a chair by the window—where you can see the birds.

  Read by the author.  
  The call to follow Christ was never a call to passive belief. 
  In Contend, Philip Anthony Mitchell, founder and lead pastor of 2819 Church in Atlanta, unpacks Jude's urgent letter—a warning written to a Church under siege from false teachers, compromise, and spiritual laziness—and proves it's still our reality today. 
  Countless Believers are still sitting on the sidelines, assuming they'll have another day to get serious about the Faith. 
  But the days of casual Christianity are running out. 
  Mitchell refuses to let the Church stay passive, and he reminds every Believer that the same Christ who saved you has also equipped you to fight. Through Contend, you will be inspired to:Rediscover the passion and purpose of your Faith.Trade spiritual complacency for a vibrant relationship with Jesus.Boldly proclaim the Gospel with love and grace.Find freedom from sin, disbelief, insecurities, and unforgiveness.Disciple and prepare the next generation to stand firm and press on. 
    
  Each chapter ends with a "Takeaway Truth" to anchor you in Scripture and a "Contender's Charge" to move you into action—because Faith isn't just believing but living out the Gospel. 
  The question isn't whether the Faith is worth fighting for. 
  The question is whether you will contend!

  The World Is Desperate for What You Have 
   
   
   
  As believers, we have received unimaginable grace from the Father. Unfortunately, we often separate our spiritual life from our everyday lives. We fail to value the grace given to us, and we miss the opportunity to bring heaven to earth. And then we wonder what light we can bring to a world in deep darkness. 
   
   
   
  With depth and insight, Dr. John Jackson shows that grace distributed is the key to sweeping social change, hope, and revival. Through biblical teaching and prophetic revelation, Dr. Jackson helps you partner with the Holy Spirit to step into the fullness of all God has called you to be—and to unleash the redemptive presence of Jesus in your home, workplace, and community. 
   
   
   
  God wants to use you right now, right where you are. It's time to become a heavenly ambassador that shares the grace you've been given with a world aching for transformation.
