Author(s): Dr. David SteelePrice: $2.99 (Ends Nov 29)
Reading is a discipline that allows us to explore new frontiers and supercharge our intimacy with God. It is one of God’s appointed means of helping us grow in our knowledge of Christ and love for him. Yet many Christians are reluctant to read and as a result, are spiritually malnourished.
A Christian Reading Manifesto is a brief rationale and apologetic for Christ-followers. It is both a challenge and an invitation to enter the world of reading to help accelerate sanctification and Christian growth.
Endorsements:
“Dr. David Steele is a reader! I don’t know another person as deeply committed to a daily, disciplined pattern of reading and learning as this seasoned pastor and author. His new book, A Christian Reading Manifesto: A New Resurgence of Learning, is designed to help other Christians embark on a literary journey. Steele begins by pointing out how reading fuels our minds for productive thinking and ignites our hearts with a greater love for God. Recognizing the obstacles which hamper serious reading, the author offers helpful insights on how to avoid the lure of digital media and mind-numbing images. I was personally motivated by his encouragement to read ‘with the aim of becoming a lifelong learner.’ The ‘added value’ of Steele’s book is a list, categorized topically, of books he has read and recommends. This bibliography is a treasure that is worth the price of the book! I enthusiastically endorse and recommend David Steele’s, A Christian Reading Manifesto.”

The Ways of God, Updated Edition: How God Reveals Himself Before a Watching World
Author(s): Richard Blackaby
Publisher: B&H Books
Price: $4.99 (Oct 25 Only)
Have you ever been surprised or confused by what God did in your life or someone else’s? Did you expect God to act one way and then he did something entirely different? Have you ever prayed and asked God to do one thing but he did something entirely different? Have you ever made great sacrifices for God and then he chose not to bless your efforts? If so, the reason may be that you are unfamiliar with the ways of God. God’s ways are vastly different from ours. We will be constantly disappointed if we assume God will act the same way we would. The problem with the Church, at times, is that it tries to do God’s work, the world’s way. However, with God, how you do something is as important as what you do. If you intend to be a growing, fruitful disciple of Jesus, you must learn the ways of God.
Bestselling author Henry Blackaby along with Roy Edgemon originally wrote a book on this crucial subject. Now, Henry’s son Richard has produced a fresh, practical, and expansive treatment of these powerful truths. How do mere mortals relate to and understand a God who is spirit and infinitely greater, wiser, and holier than they are? How do we related to someone who has existed for eternity and who knows what lies ahead for all eternity to come? Blackaby identifies God’s ways and examines how they differ from ours. He also provides practical guidance so God’s ways can become ours. Do you want God to bless your efforts and to receive glory from your life? Learn to live your life according to the ways of God. If you do, you may well be swept up into the eternal purposes of almighty God.

Author(s): Philip Yancey
Publisher: Zondervan
Price: $2.99 (Ends Oct 31)
Award-winning author Philip Yancey takes you for a soul-searching look at two of Christianity’s most important topics.
WHAT’S SO AMAZING ABOUT GRACE?
In this critically acclaimed, bestselling book, Philip Yancey explores the church’s great distinctive–grace–at street level. If grace is God’s love for the undeserving, and if Christians are its sole dispensers, then how are we doing at lavishing grace on a world that knows far more of cruelty and unforgiveness than it does of mercy? Offering compelling, true portraits of grace’s life-changing power, Yancey searches for its presence in his own life and in the church. And he challenges us to become living answers to a world that desperately wants to know, What’s So Amazing About Grace?
WHERE IS GOD WHEN IT HURTS?
If there is a loving God, then why is it that … ? You’ve heard that question, perhaps asked it yourself. No matter how you complete it, at its root lies the issue of pain. In this award-winning book, Philip Yancey reveals a God who is neither capricious nor unconcerned. Using examples from the Bible and from his own experiences, Yancey looks at pain–physical, emotional, and spiritual–and helps us understand why we suffer. Where Is God When It Hurts? will speak to those for whom life sometimes just doesn’t make sense. And it will help equip anyone who wants to reach out to someone in pain but doesn’t know what to say.

Author(s): Brennan Manning
Publisher: Tyndale
Price: $3.99 (Ends Nov 1)
Are you struggling to accept God’s love?
We’ve bought into the lie that we are worthy of God’s love only when our lives are going well. But when life begins to fall through the cracks and things become less-than-perfect, we scramble to present a good front to the world―and to God.
God longs for us to deeply believe and know that He loves us and accepts us as we are. He calls for us to remove our masks and establish honest, deep, and trusting relationships with Him. When we are our true selves, we can finally claim our authentic identities as His own―Abba’s children.
Brennan Manning, author of The Ragamuffin Gospel, soulfully encourages you to let go of the pressure of an impostor lifestyle and lean into the life-changing wonder of a truly loving relationship with God. With a gentle wisdom and tender style, this book addresses:
Developing deeper intimacy with God
Overcoming your inner pharisee
Resting in your true identity as God’s child
Abba’s Child will light the way to freely accepting your belovedness and being renewed by the reassurance of our Father’s deep care for you―regardless of how perfect your life isn’t.
“Honest. Genuine. Creative. God hungry. These words surface when I think of the writings of Brennan Manning. Read him for yourself―you’ll see what I mean!” ―Max Lucado, New York Times bestselling author
“I pray that Brennan Manning and the timeless voices . . . in this book might offer you hope. May they remind you that you are loved by the Father-Creator Himself. May they sing and speak into your life against the voices that tell you otherwise.” ―Jon Foreman, lead singer of Switchfoot

Author(s): O.S. Hawkins
Publisher: Thomas Nelson
Price: $2.99 (Ends Oct 31)
2024 OUTREACH RESOURCE OF THE YEAR (EVANGELISM)
An essential guide in the art and instruction of issuing Christ’s invitation to the lost.
Historic denominations are dying. Church memberships and baptisms plummet with every passing year. Pastors and church leaders are concerned about their churches plateauing. Why? One of the major reasons is because congregations aren’t being publicly called to faith in Christ. A growing number of evangelical pastors have opted for non-confrontational approaches to calling people to faith in Jesus. Some seminaries have removed evangelism classes from their curriculum and pastors aren’t being taught how to give an effective, God honoring public invitation, void of manipulation.
Authors O.S. Hawkins and Matt Queen are asking church leaders to reconsider and rediscover the effectiveness of asking people to publicly decide to follow Christ.

Author(s): Jane Kirkpatrick
Publisher: Waterbrook
Price: $1.99 (Oct 25-31)
A mother’s tragedy, a daughter’s desire and the 7000 mile journey that changed their lives.
In 1896 Norwegian American Helga Estby accepted a wager from the fashion industry to walk from Spokane, Washington to New York City within seven months in an effort to earn $10,000. Bringing along her nineteen year-old daughter Clara, the two made their way on the 3500-mile trek by following the railroad tracks and motivated by the money they needed to save the family farm. After returning home to the Estby farm more than a year later, Clara chose to walk on alone by leaving the family and changing her name. Her decisions initiated a more than 20-year separation from the only life she had known.
Historical fiction writer Jane Kirkpatrick picks up where the fact of the Estbys’ walk leaves off to explore Clara’s continued journey. What motivated Clara to take such a risk in an era when many women struggled with the issues of rights and independence? And what personal revelations brought Clara to the end of her lonely road? The Daughter’s Walk weaves personal history and fiction together to invite readers to consider their own journeys and family separations, to help determine what exile and forgiveness are truly about.
