    What if everything you thought you knew about faith was wrong? In his new book, Granger Smith takes you on a raw, unfiltered journey through the misconceptions, half-truths, and widely accepted norms that kept him from truly knowing Jesus. With the vulnerability of a grieving father, the insight of a seasoned storyteller, and the urgency of a man transformed, Granger unpacks 11 misguided beliefs that many people unknowingly cling to—beliefs that distort our view of God, faith, and ourselves. 
    From the subtle traps of cultural Christianity to the idols we unknowingly worship, this book is a wake-up call for anyone who feels stuck in a shallow, stagnant faith. Or anyone who never truly surrendered their life to Jesus. Granger weaves personal stories of heartbreak and redemption with biblical truths, challenging readers to confront anything that is not the life-changing power of the gospel. Inside, you'll discover:Why "being a good person" isn't enough to save you.How misplaced identity can lead to spiritual emptiness.The dangers of living in sin while claiming peace with God.Why true faith is more than a declaration—it's a lifestyle.How to break free from our idols that promise everything but deliver nothing. 
      
    Granger doesn't shy away from hard truths, but this isn't just a book about diagnosis—it's about hope. Through his own story of loss and renewal, he points readers to the only cure: a deep, personal relationship with Jesus Christ.  
    Whether you're wrestling with doubt, stuck in spiritual mediocrity, or simply searching for something more, Granger invites you to examine the foundation of your faith, confront any lies you've been believing, and discover the joy of truly knowing and following Jesus.

    "Why doesn't the Christian life work like I thought it would?" 
     
     
     
    While we often start with good intentions, it feels like real transformation is elusive at best, and maybe even impossible. We deeply want to live in the freedom that Christ offers, but we are acutely aware of the gap between a transformed life and our reality. Having the Mind of Christ tackles the issues of lasting life change. 
     
     
     
    When we feel some kind of inspiration or need to seek change in our lives, we start with behaviors: new to-dos, tactics, techniques, or spiritual disciplines that we hope will bring about the transformation we desire. While these behavioral changes can bear good results, they just as often fail to produce the lasting change we deeply desire. That's because transformation requires more than a change in practice—it requires a change in paradigm. 
     
     
     
    Pastors Matt Tebbe and Ben Sternke share eight axioms that help reframe the way that we see God, ourselves, and others. By seeing through new lenses, we can open ourselves to the transformational change that God wants for our lives.

    They lost each other once before; now the clouds of war may give them a second chance. 
     
    As teenagers, Delia Byrne and Finn Delaney fell in love while flying kites and dreaming of a future together--until betrayal tore them apart. Now, as America enters World War I, Delia works for peace as a paralegal and pacifist.

    Returning to America as a decorated war hero, Finn is eager to get back to the front but is assigned to use his fame to raise funds instead.

As their shared mission draws them together, old sparks of romance begin to stir--until duty sends them behind enemy lines in occupied Belgium. Will the greatest danger be the conflict raging around them--or the possibility of falling in love again?
