Detours: The Unpredictable Path to Your Destiny
Author(s): Tony Evans
Publisher: B&H Books
Price: $4.99       (Feb 5 Only)

God has a plan for your life.

More often than not, it’s a detour, one that can leave you feeling temporarily stalled and slowed down. Which nobody likes. But detours are necessary if any improvements are going to be made on the paths we travel. Or if any wreck is going to be cleaned up or a hazard avoided. Detours are designed for our own good, regardless of how we view or feel about them.

Detours are a good thing that often feels bad.

Tony knows a thing or two about detours, and one of the things he knows for certain is that God works through detours to bring about His blessing. To deliver you to the place He has created just for you. Yet what we often do is try as hard as we can to work our own way to the circumstances we believe are best for us.

Publisher: HarperChristian Resources

We Find Our Hope Where They Found Theirs. . .

In this updated, ten-session workbook, Max Lucado uncovers lessons from the lives of ten of the most prominent men of the Bible.

The men depicted in the Bible were not perfect by any means. We find story after story marked by scandal, failure, and intrigue. Yet we also find many stories of men who were able to look beyond their circumstances, completely trust in the Lord, and follow Him wherever He chose to take them.

Like us, these men made both good and bad decisions along the way—and experienced both good and bad consequences—and we find our struggles and hopes in the pages of the Bible that tells their stories:

Buyer Beware: Finding Truth in the Marketplace of Ideas

Author(s): Janet Parshall
Publisher: Moody Publishers
Price: $2.99      

Have you ever thought why it is that so many Christians are reticent to enter into the ‘marketplace of ideas?’ Jesus commanded us to go into the world to deliver His message of truth, delivered in love. But He never said it would easy.

In Buyer Beware, Janet Parshall takes the reader on a journey through the public square where ideas are ‘bought’ and ‘sold’ but where Truth is sometimes difficult to find. She examines some of the most controversial issues being debated in our culture today, by looking at them through the lens of Scripture.

Using the prophet Jeremiah’s instructive letter to the exiles, held in Babylonian captivity, Parshall shows how a people, held captive in a sin-sick, fallen world, can live abundantly and triumphantly by loving God’s truth and by boldly declaring it in the public square. Buyer Beware is designed to encourage modern day saints as they enter the ‘marketplace’ by helping them discover the richness of God’s word and the poverty of the world’s message.

The Missional Mom: Living with Purpose at Home & in the World

Author(s): Helen Lee
Publisher: Moody Publishers
Price: $3.99      

Do you see motherhood as a mission and divine calling?

Today’s Christian moms come from a full range of personal and professional contexts, whether they are homemakers, full-time workers in the marketplace, or somewhere in between.

Yet many Christian mothers are living missional lives, using their gifts and abilities to further God’s kingdom by engaging the world around them. They artfully, passionately, and sometimes messily juggle multiple callings and demonstrate in their modern-day contexts how they are emulating the woman of noble character in Proverbs 31.

The Missional Mom will affirm Christian mothers who desire to not only to build their homes in a Christ-like way, but also engage the world with their skills, abilities, and interests. It won’t minimize the importance of a woman’s role in her home, but it will encourage her to not ignore the stirrings God has planted within her to extend her influence.

A Grander Story: An Invitation to Christian Professors

Author(s): Rick Hove & Heather Holleman
Publisher: Cru Press
Price: $3.99      

An Invitation to Christian Professors

A Grander Story both inspires and equips Christian faculty to think differently about their lives and work. Whether serving at institutions public or private, research or teaching, two-year or four-year—as tenure-line professors, adjuncts, lecturers, or visiting scholars—our hope is that God will use this book to encourage each professor in his or her calling and help usher in the day when movements of Christ-following professors on every campus will be used by God to bless those around them and the world.

“This delightful book is a celebration of our high calling as Christ-followers on the university campus. The life stories of the professors featured here are convicting, yet tenderly so; inspirational, yet also quietly comforting.”
Charles M. C. Lee
Moghadam Family Professor of Management
Stanford Graduate School of Business

“A Grander Story is an indispensable guide for Christians in the academy seeking to view their scholarship through the lens of God’s Kingdom. Theologically sound and full of practical insight, this text challenges current and future faculty to utilize their talents to exalt Christ in the mission field of the modern university.”
