Two E-Books on Discipleship: June 22/25

Color-Courageous Discipleship: Follow Jesus, Dismantle Racism, and Build Beloved Community
Author(s): Michelle T. Sanchez
Publisher: WaterBrook
Price: $1.99       (Ends June 26)

Discover a Christ-centered approach to antiracism that will empower you to be transformed as you transform your world.

“A clear biblical theology for why racial solidarity is integral to discipleship—one that is not influenced by the right or the left but by Jesus!”—Dave Ferguson, lead pastor of Community Christian Church

So you’re for Jesus and against racism. But racism is such a fraught topic—can’t we just talk about Jesus?

Michelle T. Sanchez has discovered through her own journey that it’s impossible to separate racial discipleship from our relationship with God. When we choose to courageously resist racism, we discover opportunities to encounter Christ in fresh and exciting ways.

Color-Courageous Discipleship is our guidebook to a deeper connection with God through the adventure of racial discipleship. Grounded in the gospel, this practical and thought-provoking book

• reveals multiple ways that the racial dynamics of our society have already formed us
• explores what it means to biblically and proactively address racial inequity for the sake of God’s glory
• equips us to engage in challenging conversations about racial reconciliation with grace and truth
• offers hope, creative answers, and a path forward both individually and as beloved community

Whatever your race or background, Color-Courageous Discipleship invites you to experience more of Jesus as you pursue racial righteousness in his name.

Something’s Not Right
Author(s): Wade Mullen
Publisher: Tyndale Momentum
Price: $3.99       (Ends June 30)

“A beacon of truth and wisdom for the abused and a help in their healing.” —Scot McKnight and Laura Barringer, authors of A Church Called Tov

“Reading this book . . . will change you forever, for the better.” —Rachael Denhollander, speaker, victim advocate, and author of What Is a Girl Worth?

“Sincerely thoughtful, incredibly practical, and truly compassionate book on abusive systems and the consequences of cover-ups.” —Christina Edmondson, PhD, cohost of Truth’s Table podcast

“Am I the only one who sees this—am I just imagining things? Is something wrong with me . . . or could this be abuse?”

Maybe you don’t know for sure: all you know is something feels off when you think about a certain relationship or interaction with an institution or organization. You feel alone and confused—but calling it “abuse” feels extreme and unsettling, a label for what happens to other people but not you. Yet you can’t shake the feeling: something’s not right.

In his debut book, researcher and advocate Wade Mullen introduces us to the groundbreaking world of impression management—the strategies that individuals and organizations utilize to gain power and cover up their wrongdoings. Mullen reveals a pattern that accompanies many types of abuse, almost as if abusers are somehow reading from the same playbook. If we can learn to decode these evil methods—if we can learn the language of abuse—we can help stop the cycle and make abusers less effective at accomplishing destruction in our lives.

Combining years of study with deep compassion and personal experience, Wade Mullen gives readers:
Tools for identifying subtle markers of abuse
The confidence to cast off shame and champion the changes needed for yourself and others
A list of resources available to survivors of different kinds of abuse and trauma—including spiritual abuse, domestic violence, and workplace abuse
Something’s Not Right will help you to identify and describe tactics that were previously unidentifiable and indescribable, and it will give you the language you need to move toward freedom and create a safer future for yourself and others.
