The Holiness of God

Author(s): R. C. Sproul
Publisher: Tyndale
Price: $3.99 (Ends Oct 14)

Over 250,000 sold!

The bestselling Christian classic on who God is.

Central to God’s character is the quality of holiness. Yet most people struggle to define what God’s holiness precisely is. Many preachers today avoid the topic altogether because people don’t quite know what to do with words like “awe” or “fear.”

R. C. Sproul, in this classic theological work, puts the holiness of God in its proper and central place in the Christian life. Drawing from both the Old Testament and the New Testament, he paints an awe-inspiring vision of God that encourages Christians to become holy just as God is holy. With depth and eloquence, this timely book addresses:
What Sproul calls the “trauma of holiness”
How we reconcile God’s justice with his love
How to know if we are moving forward in our pursuit of righteousness
Once you encounter the holiness of God, your life will never be the same.

Do you ever wonder how you woke up one day with all the responsibilities of a grown-up who secretly enjoys buying groceries in bulk, can no longer recognize the tween celebrities on the magazines at checkout, but is still surprised when a Starbucks barista calls you “ma’am”—because your inside self is frozen in time to about twenty years ago?

So does Lisa-Jo Baker.

Revolution of Values

Author(s): Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove
Publisher: Intervarsity Press
Price: $4.99 (Ends Oct 31)

2019 Foreword INDIES Book of the Year Award – Political and Social Sciences
The religious Right taught America to misread the Bible. Christians have misused Scripture to consolidate power, stoke fears, and defend against enemies. But people who have been hurt by the attacks of Christian nationalism can help us rediscover God’s vision for faith in public life.

Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove explores how religious culture wars have misrepresented Christianity at the expense of the poor, and how listening to marginalized communities can help us hear God’s call to love and justice in the world. He highlights people on the frontlines of issues ranging from immigration policy and voting rights to women’s rights and environmental stewardship. Through these narratives, we encounter a recovery of values that upholds the dignity of all people.

Rediscover hope for faithful public witness that serves the common good. Join the revolution.

But you’re not alone—and there is hope and healing.

The great joy and passion of Dr. Juli Slattery and Dr. Joy Skarka is calling women to God’s gracious power of redemption. A beautiful blend of research, biblical truth, and personal stories, Her Freedom Journey invites us to go deeper with the Lord.

Juli and Joy—believing that sexual freedom begins with discipleship—lead you through teaching that is coupled with personal reflection. In this 8-week combination book and workbook, women will discover freedom from pornography by experiencing the love of God as they address underlying wounds and connect through authentic community.

“Our prayer is that through this book you would better understand God’s love and through that love, you will begin your journey of healing and freedom!”

Mercy for Today: A Daily Prayer from Psalm 51
Author(s): Jonathan Parnell
Publisher: B&H Books
Price: $4.99 (Oct 8 Only)

You cannot make it without God’s mercy.

Do we just need God’s grace in dark and shameful moments? Are prayers for mercy only for those times when we really mess up? Jonathan Parnell says we need God’s mercy all the time. In fact, contrary to many church cultures, Parnell shows that asking God for mercy should be as regular as asking God for our daily bread.

There’s no doubt that David was in a terrible predicament when he first prayed the words of Psalm 51. It was a dark and shameful moment in the Bible, and one so dark and shameful it seldom feels relevant to us today. But David’s most desperate prayer is really a prayer for all of us—and not just for our worst moments, but for our every moment. In these pages, you’ll discover:

how to pray a daily, memorable prayer derived from Psalm 51
how to practice daily repentance and soul care
how to pursue God and experience his joy in the Christian life

This is God’s mercy, and it’s Mercy for Today.
