  Which are you...striving for perfect, or settled and present?   
  You can't be both.   
  We’re all pushing for something, for the life we think we want. We strive and strain and orchestrate and negotiate, in hopes of stitching together an existence that satisfies, but in the end, all that forced movement, all that contrived exertion, leaves us writhing in pain, in agony, right inside the reality we ourselves created. The pain shows up in addiction. Or in a string of failed relationships. It shows up in overeating, overdrinking, overspending, overfunctioning, over-everything. 
  In Present Over Perfect, Shauna Niequist invites us to consider the landscape of our life, and what it might look like to leave behind the pressure to be perfect and begin the life-changing practice of simply being present. In this six-week study, you will answer some vital questions: Have you become someone you wouldn’t want to be around?Are you longing for connection but settling for busy?What sacrifices are you making in order to play the role you find yourself playing?What “no” do you have to say when you say yes? Is this a wise thing to say no to?What has your need for speed cost you along the way?What attitudes, expectations, neuroses, habits, and obligations would you have to upend in order to care more purposefully for your soul?  
  Present Over Perfect is a hand reaching out, pulling you free from the constant pressure to perform faster, push harder, and produce more, all while maintaining an exhausting image of perfection. Discover an entirely new way to live…soaked in grace, rest, silence, simplicity, prayer, and connection with the people that matter most.  
  Sessions include:  Pain Points (23:00) The Roles We Play (20:00) Yes, and No (21:00) Unflashy, Unspectacular, Good (22:00) Living the Love (21:00)

  Beyond the Salvation Wars - Why...

  Matthew W. Bates

  God has provided salvation, but when does it begin? What is required of us? Can we lose it? These and other disputed questions have divided Christians for centuries. Matthew W. Bates has already shown that the gospel is about King Jesus and that faith includes allegiance. In Beyond the Salvation Wars, he unpacks additional truths from the Bible and the early church to describe how salvation happens. 
   
   
   
  Bates offers a new model, encouraging Protestants and Catholics toward long-term unity. But his proposal contains strong medicine: it doesn't sugarcoat current Protestant and Catholic errors but diagnoses with precision for the future health of the church. 
   
   
   
  By using accessible writing and stories, Bates shows what Scripture teaches about baptism, election, regeneration, assurance, and justification. A companion to his previous book, Gospel Allegiance: What Faith in Jesus Misses for Salvation in Christ, this book will appeal to those who want to discover core truths about how we are saved—for their personal journey as well as for final Christian unity.

  An Introduction to the Theology and Themes of 2 Corinthians by Dane C. Ortlund
  Best known for its interpersonal, emotionally raw, and pastorally distressed tone, 2 Corinthians is one of Paul's most distinctive epistles. In this letter to his complicated church in Corinth, Paul aims to expand on the deeply paradoxical nature of the Christian life. The importance of understanding this key doctrine makes 2 Corinthians an ideal study for believers today.
  In this volume of the New Testament Theology series, bestselling author Dane Ortlund explores 2 Corinthians to reveal the core arguments presented by Paul. Through clear and engaging theological examinations, Ortlund expounds two predominant themes—inaugurated eschatology and strength through weakness—and connects various other motifs traced throughout this epistle. Readers will learn how Christ's resurrection ushered in the new realm—one where life and ministry are flipped upside down, and God's power is intertwined with human weakness. 
  
  - Part of the New Testament Theology Series: Other volumes include The Joy of Hearing; United to Christ, Walking in the Spirit; The Beginning of the Gospel; and more 
  - Ideal for Anyone Wanting to Study the Bible More Deeply: Perfect for pastors, seminarians, college students, and laypeople
  - Written by Dane C. Ortlund: Pastor and bestselling author of Gentle and Lowly: The Heart of Christ for Sinners and Sufferers and Deeper: Real Change for Real Sinners

  The New Apologetics - Defending...

  In recent years, “apologetics” has gotten a bad rap, being falsely conflated with “arguing about religion,” in the worst sense of the phrase. But for Christians, apologetics, or giving a reasoned explanation or defense of the faith, is a necessity and duty.   In fact, the cultural moment in which we find ourselves today demands, possibly more than any other time in history, a New Apologetics—a potent and spirited renewal of apologetics suited to today’s world.  This groundbreaking collection is a bold first step toward making this renewal a reality. Featuring over forty essays from many of today’s leading Catholic apologists, theologians, and philosophers, The New Apologetics charts a new course for the future of apologetics: a smart, joyful, and beautiful defense of the faith, one that appeals to both the head and the heart.

  The Reason of Reason - How...

  Scott Cherry

  The self-evident existence of reason, logic, and intelligibility are strong evidence for God. Reason is a human faculty that defines humanness and points to a rational universe. This in turn points to the principle of reason, or the "Logos" developed by Heraclitus and other Greek philosophers, and later by the Apostle John. Reason and its corollaries emerge like aspects of language and complement each other, like speaking and listening. Indeed, mutual communication works because of reciprocity, which is a root form of intelligibility. 
  This structure or order is best explained by a rational, divine Mind. This is an exploration of the role of the Logos principle in the human experience and condition that we often refer to as Reality. It is an attempt to answer these four questions: Why do reason and logic work? Why do we believe and trust in them? Why do we expect things to make sense? Why does anything make sense at all? 
  The first part of this book will touch on the relationship between reason and faith, but it is primarily concerned with reason, and logic its foundation. Faith is not the suspension of reason, nor must it be 'blind' to qualify. They are rational complements. Even simple faith has reasons attached to it and involves the use of reason. Faith, in part, is the application of reason to metaphysical questions and propositions. Theists must apply reason when thinking about God (even if He might not actually exist). 
  In modest terms, He probably does exist. There are ample reasons for near-certainty, especially the existence of reason and logic themselves. Add to these intelligibility, order, reciprocity, and a concept that becomes very prominent toward the end of the book, complementarity. The main argument of this book is: Because reason exists, God exists. It's not that through our powers of reason we can be certain of the existence of God, but rather that the existence of reason and its corollaries point compellingly to God.
