Recognizing that our society has a great need for role models, and few individuals successfully rise to the challenge, The Homefield Advantage assures readers that "Yes, you are a role model...whether you own up to it or not. You are being watched. You are touching lives. You are shaping young lives for good or for incalculable harm." Filled with the stories of everyday heroes who may never make the pages of Sports Illustrated-but who may very well find their way into heaven''s highlight clips-The Homefield Advantage offers powerful advice for men who want to maximize their influence for generations to come.

Everywhere we turn there are choices to be made. Like many people, you may set your priorities by making a mental list: God first; family second; church third. But, according to Dr. J. Grant Howard, "Lists of priorities don''t make sense. They can''t be lived out."

Gentle Persuasion is an encouraging appeal to Christians of all ages and abilities to become part of God''s strategy. Join Dr. Joseph Aldrich as he explains how cherry pies, hammers and saws, lawn mowers, broken-down cars, chariots of fire, babysitters, llama farmers—and even attack lambs with steel wool—can draw your friends to the Savior.

Discover how the joy of giving can make your life richer, starting today.Bestselling author Randy Alcorn introduced readers to a revolution in material freedom and radical generosity with the release of the original The Treasure Principle in 2001. Now the revision to the compact, perennial bestseller includes a provocative new concluding chapter depicting God asking a believer questions about his stewardship over material resources. Jesus spent more time talking about money and possessions than about heaven and hell combined. But too often we've overlooked or misunderstood his most profound teaching on this topic, from his words in Matthew 6. Jesus offers us life-changing investment advice. He actually wants us to store up treasures for ourselves-just not here on earth. Instead, he urges us to store our treasure in heaven, where they will await us, and last forever. We can't take it with us-but we can send it on ahead!Readers are moved from the realms of thoughtful Bible exposition into the highly personal arena of everyday life. Because when Jesus told His followers to "lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven," He intended that they discover an astounding secret: how joyful giving brings God maximum glory and His children maximum pleasure. In The Treasure Principle, you'll unearth a radical teaching of Jesus-a secret wrapped up in giving. Once you discover this secret, life will never look the same. And you won't want it to be. "Supercharged with stunning, divine truth! Lightning struck over and over as I read it." - John Piper, Senior Pastor, Bethlehem Baptist Church, Minneapolis

Your greatest regret at the end of your life will be the lions you didn''t chase. You will look back longingly on risks not taken, opportunities not seized, and dreams not pursued. Stop running away from what scares you most and start chasing the God-ordained opportunities that cross your path. In a Pit with a Lion on a Snowy Day is inspired by one of the most obscure yet courageous acts recorded in Scripture, a blessed and audacious act that left no regrets: “Benaiah chased a lion down into a pit. Then, despite the snow and slippery ground, he caught the lion and killed it” (2 Samuel 23:20 -21). Unleash the lion chaser within! #InAPit“Mark has become one of the most important voices for a new generation. Anything he touches changes lives.

I appreciate his willingness to take bold risks and go to extraordinary lengths to reach our culture with a message that is truly relevant.”  — Ed Young, senior pastor, Fellowship Church“Don’t settle for a normal life.

This thought-provoking book invites you to explore the truth of God’s Word and discover how to nurture daily a spirit of gratitude and deep satisfaction. Is It okay to enjoy this life? Watching a gorgeous sunset. Sharing a laugh with a friend. Tasting a sun-ripened strawberry. Each day is full of opportunities for you to savor the countless gifts the Creator has given.   But do you feel free to delight in God’s abundant gifts, or is your joy sometimes distorted by guilt, fear of idolatry, or simply an overwhelming awareness of sin’s effects on this world?   Trillia Newbell explains how we often miss opportunities to participate in God’s divine delight because we’re discouraged, fixated on selfish fulfillment, or paralyzed by guilt. Enjoy serves as an encouraging reminder of God’s gracious gifts and also challenges women to view all of these gifts—from relationships and careers to food and sex—as reasons to rejoice in the Lord and grow in our understanding and appreciation of who He is.     Enjoy will open your eyes and your heart to the freedom of fully enjoying all God has given us!

Are you bedraggled, beat-up, burnt-out? Most of us believe in God's grace-in theory. But somehow we can't seem to apply it in our daily lives. We continue to see Him as a small-minded bookkeeper, tallying our failures and successes on a score sheet. Yet God gives us His grace, willingly, no matter what we've done. We come to Him as ragamuffins-dirty, bedraggled, and beat-up. And when we sit at His feet, He smiles upon us, the chosen objects of His "furious love." Brennan Manning's now-classic meditation on grace and what it takes to access it-simple honesty-has changed thousands of lives. Now with a Ragamuffin's thirty-day spiritual journey guide, it will change yours, too. Includes a 30-Day Spiritual Journey Guide!"Brennan Manning does a masterful job of blowing the dust off of shop-worn theology and allowing God's grace to do what only God's grace can do-amaze." -Max Lucado, Bestselling author of The Gift for All People

A careful guide through Scripture, hand in Hand shows us why God's sovereignty and meaningful human choice work together in a beautiful way.If God is sovereign, how can I be free to choose? But if God is not sovereign, how can he be God? Is it possible to reconcile God's sovereignty with human choice? This is one of the most perplexing theological questions. It's also one of the most personal. In hand in Hand, Randy Alcorn says that the traditional approach to this debate has often diminished our trust in God and his purposes. Instead of making a one-sided argument from select verses, Alcorn examines the question in light of all Scripture. By exploring what the whole Bible says about divine sovereignty and human choice, hand in Hand helps us… · Carefully and honestly examine the different views on this issue· Gain a deeper understanding of God· Appreciate God's design in providing us the freedom of meaningful choice· See the value in better understanding what we cannot fully understand· Learn how to communicate about the issue in clear and compassionate ways· More fully experience the unity Christ intends for his ChurchIncludes small-group discussion questions.
