  How do you know when the rewards outweigh the risks?  If you want to reach your full potential in life, you can't play it safe. If you're too risk averse, you'll be resigned to a life of mediocrity. But if you risk foolishly, you may destroy your life's work and legacy.  But we can be overwhelmed by the sheer number of decisions we face, and the challenge of weighing the risks and rewards of each. In all this confusion, how can you be sure you won't end up asking yourself, what was I thinking?  In this new book, David Ashcraft, pastor of a large and influential church, and Rob Skacel, licensed psychologist and executive coach, encourage readers to embrace risk and to live their lives to the fullest potential, in order to both run and finish the race with no regrets.

  With two spring weddings to celebrate, friends and family are reunited at the Amish community of Promise Lodge, where nothing—and no one—can derail an unexpected new love when it's part of a glorious plan . . . 
   
   
    
  In the year since he lost his wife in a tragic accident, Lester Lehman has found healing and purpose—helping construct Dale Kraybill's new bulk store, enjoying the Kuhn sisters' hearty meals, and settling into a tiny, built-for-one lakeside house. Falling in love again is surely not on Lester's mind. Yet despite his firm "no," two available ladies have set their kapps on the handsome widower—in a boisterous rivalry that weaves mayhem among the wedding festivities . . . 
   
   
    
  A welcome escape comes from a fresh-faced newcomer. Marlene Fisher disarms Lester with her witty quips on his romantic predicament, while her sparkling eyes inspire surprising thoughts of a shared future. But the heartbreak that brought Marlene to Promise Lodge runs deep, and the pretty maidel believes she's not meant to marry. In a season of vows to love and honor, scripture holds the key to building their happiness together: love is kind, and above all . . . patient.

  A Teachable Spirit - The Virtue...

  Being a know-it-all isn't a fruit of the Spirit. But the ancient call of Jesus beckons us to "love the Lord your God with all your heart, mind, soul, and strength" (Matt. 22:37). How do we love God with our mind? In A Teachable Spirit, A.J. Swoboda helps followers of Jesus develop the discipline of teachability. 
  In a world marked by distraction, mind-numbing entertainment, endless content, polarization, and a decreasing desire to humbly learn from those we dislike, the way we engage sources of information like news media, science, and social media content could not be more important. Thankfully, the Christian faith provides sharp tools and rich traditions for learning how to be the best learners. By drawing on his experiences as a professor, theologian, and lay pastor, Swoboda explores the potency of seeing learning as a part of one's spiritual formation to Jesus. 
  With the right posture, Christians can learn from even the most unexpected places.

  Have you ever experienced something challenging in your life? Was that moment so excruciating that you tried everything in your power to avoid feeling the pain it caused you? You, my friend, are not alone. 
  Two things that every human being on planet Earth have in common are twenty-four hours in a day and experiencing hard times in life. We as humans are professionals at avoiding pain, right? We get consumed with work, hobbies, travel, and just about anything else to distract and numb the pain that we encounter from simply going through day-to-day life. 
  Through is a book that's all about beginning the healing process. Whether your heart is broken from a breakup, devastated from the loss of a loved one, discouraged due to being released from a job, or just plain hopeless, pain is pain. Rather than learning how to live with that pain and accepting it as a normality, it's time to boldly confront it, accept it for what it is, and start to mend. 
  Life is a beautiful thing, and you deserve to believe that. Instead of going around the hurt, you will learn that the only way to experience true and lasting healing is by going through it. It's messy, it's painful, it's unpredictable, but it's worth it. Through is a book that was birthed out of pain. Through is a message that came out of a mess. Whether you're currently facing pain or want to prepare yourself for the inevitability of its happening, Through is for you.

  Win 'em Like Wilberforce - A...

  William Wilberforce did something in his day which was deemed impossible — and still, over two hundred years later, anyone who studies his life’s work is startled and amazed and can’t help but mutter to themselves while reading of his accomplishments, “but . . . but, that can’t be done!”  
  Wilberforce seemingly single-handedly turned an entire governmental system away from selfishness, decadence, and brutality toward honor, respect, and human kindness. He seems to have single-handedly brought Christian values, Christian truth, and Christian practice back to backslidden Great Britain. But, was it single-handedly?  
  Though we often associate this great reformation of British thinking in the early nineteenth century with Wilberforce, it would be more accurate to say that this wildly impossible transformation was a result of a small band of radical Christian saints that worked alongside Wilberforce and lived together in Clapham, England. History knows them as The Clapham Saints, or spuriously as the Clapham Sect. And their story is one that must be heard to be believed. Their work so marvelously marks our world still to this day, but what is possibly most important to understand is “how” they changed the world in which they lived. And if we, as the Church of this modern day, were to put into practice these Clapham protocols, what might happen in our day?   
  This is an Ellerslie Live Teaching Series from Eric Ludy, recorded live in front of an audience. When you purchase this audiobook, it comes with an accompanying PDF of the message notes.
