As she comes to know Jason, Kathryn can’t help catching his vision.

A gripping story of love, tenderness, and survival in the rugged Pacific Northwest.

Two E-Books from the Faith Series: May 10/25

Emotional Healing Through Scripture
Author(s): Nic M. Saluppo
Price: $3.99      

Are you wishing for emotional healing, but having trouble finding it through your faith? Do you pray and pray, but experience no emotional transformation?

Often, it can seem as if faith and spirituality are disconnected from emotional wellness. Since emotions are such a significant part of life, how can it be that God left the path to emotional peace and recovery out of scripture?

The problem isn’t scripture, the problem is societal conditioning that leaks into how we perceive our faith. This 40-day devotional pinpoints the ways we have mixed cultural programming into living our faith, making it impossible to experience emotional healing. Once your eyes are opened to this issue, you’ll experience scripture in a completely new way—a way that brings you the emotional wellness you’ve been wanting.

Rest for the Weary: A 21-Day Devotional to Find Rest for Your Soul
Author(s): Nic M. Saluppo
Price: $3.99      

Are you mentally, emotionally, and spiritually exhausted? If so, there’s good news.

Jesus makes it clear that He wants to give you rest in spite of the fact that we live in a fast-paced society that rejects rest.

Matthew 11:28-29 reads: “Come to Me, all of you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.”

Often, we’re compelled to always be “on,” keep going, and never rest. We’re constantly staying busy, efficient, and productive. And even if we’re not physically doing something, our thoughts are still very active. In other words, even when we’re trying to rest, we’re not truly resting because our minds haven’t stopped.

So, what can we do about our constantly busy lifestyles and hyper-active minds? In Rest for the Weary, you’ll learn to receive the life-changing gift of resting in Christ.

Author(s): Sadie Robertson Huff and Christian Huff
Publisher: Thomas Nelson
Price: $1.99       (Ends June 30)

Do you feel your relationships are lacking deep connections? Do you feel your time with God could be more rewarding?

You are meant to be in relationships that bring joy and connection—that help you know soul-deep peace and leave you feeling loved instead of lonely.

How to Put Love First reminds you that prioritizing and deepening your love relationship with God is the key to growing healthy relationships in every area of life. Through personal stories of their own walks with God, their pitfalls and victories in relationships of all kinds, and biblical encouragement, Sadie and Christian will help you:

Missing Jesus: Find Your Life in His Great Story

Author(s): Charles Morris & Janet Morris
Publisher: Moody Publishers
Price: $3.99      

We put our trust in Christ alone for the forgiveness of our sins, desire to please God with our life, and yet, we often find that something crucial is missing. Our day-to-day experience of faith lacks the vitality we know it should have. We feel like we’re missing something and we probably are. We’re probably missing Jesus.

That’s what this book is about—it’s about not missing Jesus. It’s about seeing him big. It’s about having our lives re-centered on the glorious Son of God all over again. Charles and Janet Morris wanted to know what happens when we stop missing Jesus, and now they’re sharing what they’re learned – and how to see Him big in our small stories.

Flame of Resistance

Author(s): Tracy Groot
Publisher: Tyndale House Publishers
Price: $3.99      

2013 Christy Award winner!
Years of Nazi occupation have stolen much from Brigitte Durand. Family. Freedom. Hope for a future, especially for a woman with a past like hers. But that changes the day American fighter pilot Tom Jaeger is shot down over occupied France. Picked up by the Resistance, Tom becomes the linchpin in their plan to infiltrate a Germans-only brothel and get critical intel out through Brigitte, a prostitute rumored to be sympathetic to the Allied cause.

D-day looms and everyone knows that invasion is imminent. But so is treachery, and the life of one American pilot unexpectedly jeopardizes everything. He becomes more important than the mission to a man who cannot bear to lose another agent and to a woman who is more than just a prostitute, who finally realizes that her actions could change the course of history.

The New Mormon Challenge: Responding to the Latest Defenses of a Fast-Growing Movement

Author(s): Editors: Francis Beckwith, Carl Mosser, Paul Owen
Publisher: Zondervan
Price: $3.99      

Current facts about Mormonism:

Over 11 million members.
Over 60,000 full-time missionaries—more than any other single missionary-sending organization in the world.
More than 310,000 converts annually.
As many as eighty percent of converts come from Protestant backgrounds. (In Mormon circles, the saying is, “We baptize a Baptist church every week.”)
Within fifteen years, the numbers of missionaries and converts will roughly double.
Within eighty years, with adherents exceeding 267 million, Mormonism could become the first world-religion to arise since Islam.
You may know the statistics. What you probably don’t know are the advances the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS) is making in apologetics and academic respectability. With superb training, Mormon scholars outclass many of their opponents. Arguments against Mormon claims are increasingly refuted as outdated, misinformed, or poorly argued. The New Mormon Challenge is a response to the burgeoning challenge of scholarly Mormon apologetics.

Written by a team of respected Christian scholars, it is free of caricature, sensationalism, and diatribe. The respectful tone and responsible, rigorous, yet readable scholarship set this book in a class of its own. It offers freshly researched and well-documented rebuttals of Mormon truth claims. Most of the chapter topics have never been addressed, and the criticisms and arguments are almost entirely new.

But The New Mormon Challenge does not merely challenge Mormon beliefs; it offers the LDS Church and her members ways to move forward. The New Mormon Challenge will help you understand the intellectual appeal of Mormonism, and it will reveal many of the fundamental weaknesses of the Mormon worldview. Whether you are sharing the gospel with Mormons or are investigating Mormonism for yourself, this book will help you accurately understand Mormonism and see the superiority of the historic Christian faith.

Outstanding scholarship and sound methodology make this an ideal textbook. The biblical, historical, scientific, philosophical, and theological discussions are fascinating and will appeal to Christians and Mormons alike. Exemplifying Christian scholarship at its best, The New Mormon Challenge pioneers a new genre of literature on Mormonism. The Editors Francis J. Beckwith, Carl Mosser, and Paul Owen are respected authorities on the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and the authors of various books and significant articles on Mormonism.

With contributors including such respected scholars as Craig L. Blomberg, William Lane Craig, J. P. Moreland, and others, The New Mormon Challenge is, as Richard Mouw states in his foreword, “an important event for both Protestant evangelicals and Mormons” that models “to the evangelical community what it is like to engage in respectful and meaningful exploration of a viewpoint with which we disagree on key points.”
