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?

 

One in a Million: Journey to Your Promised Land

Author(s): Priscilla Shirer
Publisher: B&H Books
Price: $4.99       (July 8 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!

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.

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.
