Walking the Labyrinth

Author(s): Travis Scholl
Publisher: IVP Formatio
Price: $4.99       (Ends Apr 30)

One day Travis Scholl discovered a labyrinth in his neighborhood. As he began to walk it, he found this ancient practice offered a much-needed path away from life’s demands, allowing him to encounter God in quiet solitude.

In this meditative guide, Travis Scholl takes readers on a journey:

“The path is always new, because, as a spiritual discipline, the labyrinth is a tool for contemplation, for reflection, for prayer. Underneath the surface, walking the labyrinth is a profound exercise in listening, in active silence, in finding movement and rhythm in the stillnesses underneath and in between every day’s noise. Walking the labyrinth is an exercise in finding the voice speaking in whispers underneath the whirlwind of sound.”

The Heart of Victory: A Daily Journey through the Book of Revelation

SPONSORED LISTING

Author(s): Carl Copsey
Price: $4.99       (Ends May 19)

“The book of Revelation is often treated like a code to crack or a roadmap to the end of the world. Charts multiply, timelines compete, and ordinary Christians quietly back away from the only book of Scripture that explicitly promises a blessing to those who read, hear, and keep it.

The Heart of Victory: A Daily Journey Through the Book of Revelation invites you into something very different: 84 days of clear, pastoral, text‑driven readings that help you see Revelation as it was given—an unveiling of Jesus Christ for real churches in real trouble, and for believers today whose “Monday mornings” feel anything but victorious.

Structured as twelve weeks of daily devotions, this book walks passage‑by‑passage through Revelation, organized into eight major parts: Christ among His churches, the throne and the scroll, the seals and the sealed, trumpets and witness, the dragon and the beasts, bowls and Babylon, the thousand years and new creation, and finally the echoes of the Old Testament that saturate John’s vision. Each day includes a Scripture reading, a concise “Heart of Victory” statement, accessible exposition, concrete application to ordinary life, and a prayer to help you respond.

Detours: The Unpredictable Path to Your Destiny

Author(s): Tony Evans
Publisher: B&H Books
Price: $4.99       (July 10 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.

They Were Single Too: Eight Biblical Role Models

This e-book was chosen by our readers to be placed on sale.

Author(s): David M. Hoffeditz
Publisher: Kregel Publications
Price: $2.99       (July 15-16)

Singleness is not a sin that needs to be redeemed. Yet for many single Christians, the way the church regards them often feels condemning. Living between these truths can be a painful, frustrating experience.

By examining eight individuals from Scripture who were single at some point in their adult lives–Paul, Anna, Martha, Jeremiah, Ruth, Joseph, Nehemiah, and John the Baptist–Hoffeditz guides readers through common struggles singles face, such as loneliness and disappointment.

Hoffeditz isn’t offering a self-help guide, a twelve-step program to recovery, or philosophical musings. They Were Single Too spells out concrete steps for a healthy, God-approved attitude toward unmarried life and how one can truly serve God without a spouse. Brief chapters with questions for reflection allow for either individual or group study.

Long used as a resource for singles ministries, this revised edition updates the language of this timeless biblical study and makes it more attractive for today’s reader.

Hesed: Does the Tanakh Foreshadow Jesus?

SPONSORED LISTING

Author(s): Mark Stouffer
Price: $0.99       (Limited time sale)

WHILE arguing with the Jewish religious leaders, Jesus said, “You search the Scriptures, because you think that in them you have eternal life; and it is these that bear witness of Me; . . .” In this series of books we will examine the Tanakh in order to see if Jesus’ claim has any merit.

In Hesed we will consider if the sacrificial system prescribed in the Torah prefigures Jesus’ death on the cross. We will do so by asking such root level questions as:

Why did the Jews need to sacrifice lambs at the first Passover in order to be exempt from G-d’s judgement? After all, they were the victims in this event of slavery and oppression.
Why did the High Priest need to immediately exit G-d’s presence once he sprinkled the blood in the Holy of Holies? Didn’t the blood atone for his sins on Yom Kippur?
et.al.
We will also examine the lives of Joseph, Moses, David, and Daniel. For, there are some noticeable similarities between their lives and Jesus’ life. The question is, were these details purposely inserted in the Tanakh to foreshadow Jesus, or is this just a coincidence?

Join author Mark Stouffer as he seeks to understand the intended meaning of the Biblical authors.

Hesed is for Jewish people who want to know the truth about Jesus. It is also good for Christians who want to learn about the Tanakh, or Old Testament.
