  Coffee With The Prophets -...

  Have you ever just opened the Bible, without a particular destination in mind, and started reading wherever the pages fell? Or maybe you had a specific verse in mind, went straight there, and found yourself wondering about the bigger picture? We've all been there – suddenly deep in the Book Of Lamentations and wondering why everyone's so sad, or counting our way through Numbers (spoiler: it's not about 666 or unlucky 13), or stumbling into what seems like an ancient beauty pageant with Esther. 
  That's exactly why I created this book. Think of it as sitting down for a quick coffee with someone who's excited to give you the highlights before you dive into your reading. In fact, the full title could be "5 Minutes Coffee with the Prophets, Patriarchs, Saints, Evangelists, Apostles, and other Bible figures" – but that wouldn't fit nicely on the cover! 
  The Bible contains 66 books, written across roughly 1,500 years by about 40 different authors. Within these pages, you'll find histories, poems, prophecies, letters, and apocalyptic visions. For many readers, this sheer scope can feel overwhelming. 
  This book offers something different: a simple, five-minute overview of each biblical book's context. You won't find complex theological arguments or detailed historical analysis here. Instead, you'll discover straightforward answers to basic questions like: 
  When was this written? 
  Who wrote it? 
  What was happening at the time? 
  Why was it written? 
  What are the key themes?

  Confessions of a Christian...

  Jonathon M. Seidl

  While the Christian community loves stories of salvation, it struggles with stories of sanctification—the often-messy journey of becoming like Jesus. As a result, many Christians who stumble are mired in shame, especially when it comes to one of society's biggest post-Covid obsessions: alcohol. But there is hope for those willing to rethink their drinking. 
   
   
   
  In Confessions of a Christian Alcoholic, Jonathon M. Seidl vividly tells his own story of disordered drinking. Not only does he address the roots of addiction, trauma, and the often-overlooked reality that Christians aren't immune to sin struggles, he also reframes the term alcoholic and shares the practical yet spiritual four-step process he used to break free—a process listeners will find helpful for working through many of life's struggles. 
   
   
   
  Written in an engaging, conversational style, Confessions shows that there's hope for Christians who become alcoholics, not just for alcoholics who become Christians.

  Eye-opening revelations from Scripture and science about why we sleep, dream, and rest--and why they are such gifts. 
  In our age of hurry, productivity, and constant distraction, sleep is often treated as an inconvenient pause or means of self-optimization. We've forgotten the deeper, theological meaning of rest and the profound spiritual lessons we can learn from our God-given need for sleep. 
  Drawing from Scripture, science, cultural commentary, and personal reflections, Brett McCracken shows how sleep, rest, and Sabbath are not just necessary downtimes or missed opportunities to be productive--they are sacred practices that deepen our relationship with God, nurture our love for others, and bear witness to his grace. 
  The Wisdom of Sleep calls you to a higher view of this essential and holy part of our lives. 
  Throughout the book, you'll discover that sleep, rest, and dreams are surprising gifts from God. You'll learn the astonishing science behind the ways sleep revives and restores us, and how this God-designed physical reality daily reminds us of spiritual truths. As you better understand and embrace God's good design, you'll grow in love for him and help point other weary souls to the ultimate rest they can have in him. 
  The wisdom of sleep is not just in its brilliant design and biological benefits. It's also in the way sleep and rest bear witness to our createdness, our salvation, and our eternal future--when all restlessness will find repose in God's presence.
