Winner of the Christian Small Publisher Book of the Year Award
You want to connect with God, but in the craziness of life, you just can’t make it happen. You want practical, biblical answers to situations you face every day, but you don’t have hours to pore over Scripture. You need a resource that answers the questions you’re afraid to ask out loud.

Each of these daily devotions begins with a “Facetime question” — something you’d ask God if you could see Him face to face — and ends with a biblical answer wrapped in a modern day parable. Like a spiritual power bar, Hungry for God … Starving for Time is packed with enough scriptural nutrition to get you through the day.

Wherever you, you can snatch five minutes of quiet reflection, Hungry for God … Starving for Time is the perfect 5-minute devotional resource for the busy you.

 

One in a Million

Author(s): Priscilla Shirer
Publisher: Lifeway
Price: $4.99       (July 14 Only)

The Egyptians in Exodus 1 were intent on enslaving the Israelites, wearing them down so that God’s chosen people would become disillusioned and not live up to their destiny. Of the original two million Israelites who received God’s invitation to enter the Promised Land, only two actually entered it!

Similarly, modern day Christians often hear and understand the promises of God each Sunday morning at church but then rarely choose to experience them in everyday life. In One in a Million, Bible teacher Priscilla Shirer invites us to change that pattern for good, living beyond our circumstances and expecting to see God move in miraculous ways day after day. Without a doubt, we can find and follow God’s purpose for our journey. We can make it to the Promised Land!

THE SCHOOL OF OBEDIENCE: With Comprehensive Study Questions
By Reverend Andrew Murray
Author of “Absolute Surrender,” “The Ministry of Intercession,” Abide in Christ,”

What if everything you’ve been taught about Christianity is missing the one thing Jesus emphasized most?
Obedience.
Not as legalism. Not as a works-based religion. But as the very heartbeat of genuine faith—the proof, the power, and the pathway of authentic Christianity.
From the renowned devotional writer Andrew Murray comes the most challenging book you’ll ever read on what it truly means to follow Christ.

In The School of Obedience, Murray doesn’t offer comfortable devotionals or gentle encouragement. He offers radical truth: that obedience to Christ is not optional for believers, not reserved for spiritual elites, but is the defining mark of true Christianity.

Publisher: Waterbrook
Price: $1.99       (Jan 17-23)

Is it possible to find unconditional love in a world of expectations?

Professor Joseph Barnes is attractive, intelligent, and successful–beloved by both his students and fellow university faculty.Despite her professional reservations, Alexis, the dean of Joe’s college, finds herself drawn to him and recognizes his interest in her.

But when Joe’s career begins to crumble, Alexis has to decide whether or not to rescue Joe from his circumstances. If she does save him, how can she be sure he loves her for herself–and not for what she can do for him? Can she fight the ghosts of the past that haunt them both?

Three well-intentioned friends and an ambitious department secretary complicate the delicate situation between Alexis and Joe in this modern retelling of the biblical story of Job. Thoughtful and clever, Blameless asks, what does it mean to love without expectations? And in the midst of losing it all, is it possible to find everything you’ve been looking for?

 

Lessons From a Sheepdog: A True Story of Transforming Love

Author(s): Phillip Keller
Publisher: Thomas Nelson
Price: $3.99       (Ends July 31)

In this classic, modern-day parable about a man and his transforming love for his dog, Lass, bestselling author Phillip Keller paints a vivid picture of God’s love for the unlovable.

When Philip Keller and his wife decide to become sheep farmers in British Columbia, Philip realizes that he needs a sheep dog to help him manage his herd. When Philip brings home Lass, the dog is anything but cooperative, and Philip considers just returning the dog to its original owner—but as time passes and the dog begins to trust him, everything begins to change.

Woven just under the surface of this simple parable, Keller presents profound spiritual truth in his story of the “worthless” animal thought to be untrainable, who ultimately becomes a magnificent and valuable sheep dog—similar to how God’s love can transform our worst characteristics into blessings that serve to further His Kingdom. As Lass’s relationship with Philip begins to improve, so does Philip’s relationship with his Savior. Fractured for quite some time, he is able to restore and renew his faith as he works to train his beloved dog.
