Step into the shoes of the disciples as they travel with Jesus in this 30-day devotional book.

In just ten minutes a day you’ll draw closer to God and have a better understanding of Jesus’s central message to his followers.

As Christ’s ministry was coming to an end, he journeyed to Jerusalem one last time to celebrate Passover before fulfilling his mission at Calvary. Rather than fret about the cross, he instead used his precious time left to instill in his followers the critical lessons they would need when he was gone.

Through parables, miracles, and object lessons, Christ reminded those around him that the kingdom of God is nothing like the kingdoms on earth. On earth we seek money, power, and political control. But the kingdom of God belongs to the humble and the generous. Earthly kingdoms destroy their enemies and those who reject them. Jesus instead preached forgiveness, mercy, and longsuffering.

While the primary motivation for many followers of Jesus was freedom from Rome’s tyranny, Jesus taught that his kingdom is not of this world. His mission was far more ambitious than restoring a nation to its former glory. He sought to bring life to the entirety of humanity, even the Romans. Jesus set out to straighten the record for his followers that outcasts like tax collectors and Samaritans were welcome if only they would place their faith in him.

When we embrace the Kingdom of God and apply these lessons to our own lives, we learn to think, act, and speak with a heavenly perspective. Rather than seek our own glory, we allow the Spirit to conform us to the image of Jesus. In so doing we become more selfless, gracious, and focused on the work of the kingdom. These things do not come naturally or easily, but such a transformation is possible by the grace of God.

This devotional covers Luke 17-19 and includes daily scripture passages and prayer prompts right in the text. Spanning only three chapters in thirty days allows the reader to dive deep into the teaching of Christ and examine familiar texts with fresh perspectives. After a month you’ll have a more complete picture of the Lord’s primary message to his disciples and how to apply these lessons to your daily life.

Embark on this journey with Christ, and see your life transformed.

A heartwarming story that celebrates how life-changing friendships can be found in all seasons of life.

The sprawling lake home Lynn Lundberg built with her husband has been an epicenter of joyful family life, from summer holidays spent around the water, to cookies baked in the kitchen with grandchildren in the fall. But since her husband’s sudden passing two years ago, Lynn has been lost in the grief and solitude she feels without him at home. She doesn’t want to sell the big family place, but she can’t exist there on her own much longer.

After hearing of a new way of living–where single women share responsibilities as housemates–Lynn thinks she’s found the answer to her prayers. Soon she meets two ladies with whom she could begin this journey. Angela Bishop, a successful real estate agent accustomed to the finer things in life, has just been jilted by her husband of twenty-five-years. Judith Rutherford, who has devoted her adulthood to caring for her ailing father, must leave the only home she’s known now that he has passed.

I Believe Jesus Will Return…
What More Do I Need to Know?

Do you tend to avoid studying books of the Bible like Revelation and Ezekiel? Does it feel like words such as rapture and apocalypse fly right over your head? It’s common to dismiss these and other topics related to Bible prophecy as irrelevant and…well…too complicated.

But God’s Word says, “Blessed is the one who reads aloud the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those who hear it and take to heart what is written in it, because the time is near” (Revelation 1:3).

Prepare to be blessed in an entertaining and meaningful way! The Non-Prophet’s Guide to the End Times combines engaging illustrations with down-to-earth explanations to help you navigate the ins and outs of Bible prophecy. There’s no better time to grasp God’s plans for the future—and for you—than this very moment.

Why is evangelism increasingly more difficult? Why is Christianity less and less appealing to unbelievers? What can the Church do differently to excel in fulfilling Jesus’ Great Commission?

Ken Ham, world-renowned Christian apologist and creation scientist, is convinced that compromise with evolutionary worldviews has virtually crippled preaching and teaching efforts, especially in Western societies. The Bible’s foundational teaching of Genesis has been undermined as the unscientific theory of evolution is exalted as the ultimate authority. This has weakened the Church’s defense of the Bible and Its message of Jesus Christ as Savior.

In this truly bold book, Ken Ham presents an ambitious plan to fulfill the Great Commission. Easy to read and filled with real-world application, this book offers insight into:

The outstanding success of pioneer evangelism

The evolution connection

Practical creation evangelism

Penetrating this culture with the gospel

Why Won’t They Listen: The Power of Creation Evangelism is a must read for every Christian evangelist.
