  James is days away from being married when he learns his fiancé Raquel has been keeping an explosive secret. Humiliated and with his reputation on the line, he sets out to destroy Raquel. The bride-to-be strikes back with a blow so intense it leaves James defenseless, with his life spiraling out of control. 
  Within days, he is a shell of the confident, charismatic man he once was. James is contemplating suicide when he is almost killed in an accident. Now he is sure of only two things: he is too scared to die, and not fit to live. 
  When Joan, an ex-girlfriend, introduces James to her pastor, he can’t help but be intrigued. James is introduced to a world he did not know existed: single men who love God intensely. These men abstain from sex until married and read the scriptures like most men read the sports pages. Women are treated like precious jewels and held with the highest regard. Instead of strolling the clubs looking for girlfriends, they are kneeling at pews, praying for wives. 
  James isn’t sure he’s buying any of it, but when the pastor offers to mentor him, he accepts the challenge. Living for the Lord when he’s been accustomed to the world brings a multitude of unexpected consequences. Can a ladies’ man really become God’s man?

  Authentic Worship - The Path to...

  Worship is central to our relationship with God. Yet worship in today's churches is influenced more by the stage performances and trappings of secular concerts, and less on what God himself show us in the Bible. 
   
   
   
  Knowing the importance and power of true worship, A. W. Tozer preached on the topic regularly throughout his life. Authentic Worship presents his thoughts on what it really means to praise and honor the Lord. He exposes how many believers have unknowingly adopted a shallow, manipulative, cultural view of worship because we don't know who God is. Digging into Scripture, he reveals the character of God and shows how that directly impacts and deepens both our worship of him and our relationship with him. 
   
   
   
  The worship we begin here on earth should have its roots in heaven—and how we worship today will prepare us to worship throughout eternity before God Almighty.

  We Become What We Normalize -...

  From one of the most respected thinkers and public intellectuals of our day comes a book that is both a cultural critique of the state of our country and a robust summons to resist complicity. As we move through the world, we constantly weigh our conscience against what David Dark calls "deferential fear"—going along just to get along, especially in relation to our cultural, political, and religious conversations. Dark reveals our compromised reality: the host of hidden structures and tacit social arrangements that draw us away from ourselves and threaten to turn us slowly into what we decry in others. 
   
   
   
  We Become What We Normalize counsels a creative, slow, and artful response to the economy of reaction, hurry, shaming, and fearmongering. Dark offers a deep analysis of the ways our conceptions of ourselves and our use of technology often lead us away from what we believe, reinforcing the false narrative that we must humiliate others in order to survive. "I suspect we become what we sit still for, what we play along with, and what we abide in our attempts to access more perceived power and more alleged influence," Dark writes. We Become What We Normalize calls for a new kind of struggle, ethic, witness, and spirit that helps us step away from the infinite loop of normalizing harm into effecting true change for ourselves and the worlds we inhabit.

  It's all been done. I can't start until it's perfect. What if the critics come? What if I start and then can't follow through? What if my voice doesn't matter? What if I don't actually matter? What if it's already too late? 
   
   
   
  Sound familiar? Do you find that year after year you stay stuck in the same tired, broken scripts fear uses on all of us? 
   
   
   
  It's time for a wake-up call. Because so often when faced with the choice between creating nothing and creating failure, we choose nothing. Another year goes by. The clock goes on ticking. And the world is worse for our absence. It's time to move from stuck to start. 
   
   
   
  This book does the heavy lifting to dismantle all the lies fear uses, move you out of an endless spiral of your own excuses (not to mention other people's opinions), and bring you right up to a threshold of no return—this place where we become people who feel the fear and move forward anyway. With equal parts powerful prose and tactical action steps, Underestimated will become the essential go-to field guide for anyone who is ready to once and for all quit playing small.
