Sinopse

Do you desire to do great things for God but feel like you're falling short?
Does your life feel small, filled with endless demands, seemingly insignificant work, mundane responsibilities, or challenging relationships? If your desire to make an impact for God's kingdom collides with the limits and disappointments of everyday life, it's easy to feel restless, resigned, and discouraged.
Scripture offers a better way. In one of Paul's letters, there's an unexpected, paradoxical call: "Make it your ambition to live quietly . . ."
In The Quiet Ambition, pastor and theologian Ryan P. Tinetti unpacks the rich spiritual wisdom of 1 Thessalonians 4:11-12, showing how it can help you reimagine what following Jesus looks like. Tinetti explores four key postures for living out your Christian life:

- Live quietly.
- Tend your own business.
- Work with your hands.
- Walk gracefully toward outsiders.
This call to quiet ambition frees you to embrace God's presence in the small, ordinary moments of your life. By shifting your focus from self-aggrandizing desires and internalized pressure for spiritual achievement to faithful living in the everyday, you can experience real hope and discover what it truly means to live a life that counts.
Are you ready to reimagine what following Jesus looks like in your everyday life? Order your copy of The Quiet Ambition and start your journey today!

Readers can expect to uncover how Genesis sets the theological and moral framework for the rest of Scripture. Through cultural context and deeper analysis, the study reveals how these ancient stories still speak powerfully into modern life and spiritual identity.

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “A Quiet Fire That Kept Burning” 
    “This is not just a novel. It’s a permission slip. Auren and Sahana will stay with me for a very long time.”  — Mira K., Interfaith Educator & Mother 
    What if love could rewrite the stories we inherit? 
    When Auren Solven, the introspective son of a devout Lebanese Muslim family, meets Sahana Raye, a bold and brilliant woman from a Jewish Indian lineage shaped by tradition and loss, their connection quietly defies centuries of expectation. In a world still divided by borders both visible and invisible—faith, history, culture—they fall in love. Gently. Fiercely. Unapologetically. 
    But when tragedy strikes in their ancestral homelands, Auren and Sahana are torn apart, each grappling with what it means to belong to beliefs they no longer fully hold. In search of meaning beyond the binaries they’ve inherited, they embark on parallel spiritual journeys—through Morocco, India, Jerusalem, Istanbul—encountering sacred places, kind strangers, and the quiet power of choosing for themselves. 
    Reunited by more than love—by vision—they launch The One Path Project, a global movement that invites children to explore all spiritual traditions before choosing their own. What begins as a radical idea soon ignites global dialogue—and resistance. As support swells and backlash mounts, Auren and Sahana must confront one final question: Can love that redefined the past also reimagine the future? 
    For readers of The Forty Rules of Love, A Place for Us, and The Midnight Library, this is a deeply intimate and boldly visionary novel about the stories we’re born into—and the ones we choose to live.

    The complete life of Jesus using only the exact words from the Bible, woven to seamlessly read like a book. This extraordinary work combines the four unique eyewitness accounts of Jesus' life into a single, unified and harmonious narrative of Jesus' Every Word and Deed. Fifty-nine Old Testament prophecies are also included where fulfilled in Jesus' life. Tony Perkins, President of the Family Research Council in Washington, DC states: "Finally there is a resource that combines the four Gospels into one continuous and compelling account that makes the story of Jesus even more accessible to those who seek Him. Additionally, Old Testament prophecies that foretell Christ's words and deeds are inserted in a way that enriches the whole and everything is color coded for easy identification. I commend John Burkhalter for his labor-intensive effort that promises much reward for those who engage it." Students and scholars alike will enjoy this easy to read but comprehensive work that offers insights for everyone. The entire teachings and actions of Jesus are recorded in this easily readable format which also contains a mirrored Scripture Reference Section in the back showing where every word is found by book, chapter and verse. The eBook version allows the reader to easily toggle back and forth between the book and reference sections. Separately, a Readers Theater version of Jesus' Every Word and Deed presents the work in an interactive medium for verbalizing all the roles in bible study groups, podcasts, plays and more.
