Messy Truth: How to Foster Community Without Sacrificing Conviction

Author(s): Caleb Kaltenbach
Publisher: Waterbrook Press
Price: $1.99 (Ends Aug 31)

From the author of Messy Grace, a former pastor raised by gay parents, comes a compassionate playbook to help Christians, church staff, and ministry leaders create a culture of belonging without sacrificing theological convictions.

What should we do? This is a question many Christians are asking as they face shifting societal norms, conflicting opinions, and often inaccurate scriptural interpretations regarding those who identify as LGBTQ+.

Caleb Kaltenbach believes there’s a more helpful question:What am I willing to do to keep and build influence with ______________?

Caleb knows our love for others is best measured by the lengths we’ll go to help them. He also recognizes that people find and follow Jesus better in community than in isolation. As a child raised by three activist gay parents, Caleb experienced firsthand the outrage of some Christians. That’s why he is committed to creating a sense of belonging for all people.

Where Are You?: God’s Questions that Need to be Answered

SPONSORED LISTING

Author(s): David Dingess & Walter Shaffer
Publisher: N/A
Price: $2.99

Why God? Why? We all have questions for Him. It seems like we never get all the answers. But He has questions for us too. Maybe the reason God doesn’t answer us is because we have never bothered to answer Him. His questions demand an answer.

Brace yourself; I will question you, and you shall answer me. Job 38:3

When God asks a question, we need to be prepared to answer. This book examines twenty-two of the most important questions God has asked. Beginning with the Lord’s first question to Adam and Eve from the book of Genesis, Where Are You? And ending with the most important question He would have us answer, Do You Love Me?

There is much that we learn when we answer God’s questions. His queries not only reveal who we are. If we are brave enough to be laid bare before the Lord and answer His questions, we will have the added benefit of gaining a better understanding of His nature and who He is. We will also get a better grasp of who we are in Him. And in one of those mysteries of God, if we will spend time considering and answering His question, many of our questions about Him will be answered. Are you willing to be questioned by God?

Even If: Trusting God When Life Disappoints, Overwhelms, or Just Doesn’t Make Sense

Author(s): Mitchel Lee
Publisher: Multnomah
Price: $1.99 (Ends Aug 31)

How do you worship God even if life isn’t going the way you had hoped?

“Even If is not some bumper sticker to display, but a daring commitment to live.”—Kyle Idleman, senior pastor of Southeast Christian Church

“I believe we will see more resilient people in the face of suffering because of this great book.”—Bryan Loritts, teaching pastor at The Summit Church

What happens when the test comes back positive? The relationship ends? The dream goes unfulfilled? The plans don’t move forward? Amid confusion, hurt, and anger, we wonder where we went wrong. What is God doing?

In Even If, Mitchel Lee reminds us that while God does not promise a pain-free life, he offers something better: his presence in the pain. No matter our circumstances, God is worthy of our worship, and he can meet us even in our greatest difficulties.
