Summary

A Concise Look at the Evidence for Christ's Resurrection 
The entire Christian faith depends on the belief that Jesus of Nazareth rose from the dead. If there was no empty tomb, Christians have an empty faith. But how can we be confident the resurrection really happened? 
In this concise booklet, author Timothy Paul Jones addresses the doubts and questions that arise from Jesus's resurrection as recorded in the New Testament. Jones argues this story is not a mere repetition of old pagan tales or a fabrication to fulfill Jewish expectations. Instead, it was a historical event, and that is supported by compelling evidence, including accounts of men and women who were willing to die for what they believed they had seen. 
Skeptics are correct to assume that such claims should not be taken lightly. But what happens if Jesus really did rise from the dead? What would it mean for me and you? 

- Written for Skeptics: A respectful appeal to those who doubt Jesus's story that provides convincing evidence for his resurrection
- Short, Accessible Format: A concise exploration of the resurrection of Jesus and why it matters for believers today
- Part of the TGC Hard Questions Series: Equips readers with answers to difficult questions facing today's church

Discover the Way Toward a Lighter, Braver, and Wiser Life 
 
 
 
This old world can be exhausting, despairing, and cynical. But you don't have to be. 
 
 
 
Instead, you can unlock the power to a happy life—an act of defiance that will make you more resilient in times of turmoil, pain, and chaos. Cultivating happiness takes grit, determination, and a good sense of humor. It's not always easy, but it's well worth it. 
 
 
 
Beloved writer Joy Marie Clarkson leads the way, crafting an audacious case for happiness no matter what you're going through. With her signature humor and lyrical storytelling, Joy offers an irresistible invitation: 
 
 
 
"If we accept that life will be full of difficulties and sorrows, we then have two options: to resign ourselves to life generally being a bummer, or to seek enjoyment, delight, and hope in the midst of (and in spite of!) life's up and downs. To put it bluntly: You could choose to cultivate happiness, or you could not. . . . I think we should go for it." 
 
 
 
Go, therefore, and choose an aggressively happy life.

The Bible is an amazing book, with a real wealth of information in its pages. But it takes a dedicated person to seek the pearls of wisdom just waiting to be found. As you study the Bible, you will realise it could not possibly be the thoughts and rambling of many different authors, but every word is inspired by God himself. Many people refuse to believe this, but if you are prepared to seek the truth with an open mind and not rely on old preconceived ideas, then you will see exactly what I mean. 
To better understand who Jesus is, and why his family life is so important for us to comprehend, we need to know everything about his past; we need to go back to the time of Abraham and see the promises God made to him.  
Gen 12:1 Now the LORD said to Abram, "Go from your country and your kindred and your father's house to the land that I will show you." 
Gen 12:2 And I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you and make your name great, so that you will be a blessing.  
Gen 12:3 I will bless those who bless you, and him who dishonors you I will curse, and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed. 
Abram, who later became Abraham, received these promises from God. They are unconditional and irrevocable. Abram was to go to the land God would show him, and he would become a great nation, and his name would become great. God will bless those who bless Abram and curse those who curse him.

"How can I hope to be an effective parent today when attack on the family are stronger than ever before?" 
 
 
 
The answer, says Farley, is the gospel. 
 
 
 
Parents who claim the gospel as their own have an enormous effect on their marriage, their integrity, and their love for their children. Keeping the gospel at the forefront of every aspect of marriage helps parents fear God, sensitizes them to sin, motivates them to enter their children's world, and causes them to preach the beauty of the gospel to their children through their marriage.

WILD MEDICINE FOR APOCALYPTIC TIMES 
 
 
 
This Witch's devotional is a collection of nature-inspired prayers, mythic incantations, stories, and pagan poetry that can be enjoyed slowly or all at once. It will resonate with anyone looking to soothe the wounds of modernity with eco-devotional language, spellwork, and daily spiritual nourishment. 
 
 
 
Danielle Dulsky speaks to the expanding movement of those returning to slow, simple living and cultivating an Earth-inspired, sustainable existence. Organized around thirteen archetypes and their themes, ranging from the Mountain Mage (solitude) and Bone-Witch (grievers) to the Heathen Queen (empowerment) and Shepherd (nurturing), Bones & Honey will carry you to the "third road," the unforeseen way that arises from the tension of opposites.
