The Word Before Work

Author(s): Jordan Raynor
Publisher: WaterBrook
Price: $1.99       (Ends Aug 14)

A weekday devotional to help Christians connect the gospel to their vocation and appreciate the eternal significance of their work—no matter what it is—from the entrepreneur, thought leader, and bestselling author of Redeeming Your Time.

Perhaps you feel as if the work you do carries less eternal impact than the work of a pastor or missionary. But that’s not how God sees it. Whatever it looks like day to day, your work is ministry and central to God’s plans to restore fallen creation.

As the days of creation reveal, God is quite familiar with work himself. He created humans with unique giftings and interests, specifically so we can pursue his redemptive work in partnership with him.

O Death, Where Is Your Sting?
Author(s): Charles Spurgeon
Price: $2.99       (Ends Aug 31)

**A never before released volume from the Prince of Preachers on Death and the Hope of Heaven and the Resurrection**
O Death Where Is Your Sting shares six comforting and powerful sermons on death by Charles H. Spurgeon, the Prince of Preachers, to lift your eyes from the vanity and hopelessness of this world to the eternal hope all believers have in Jesus Christ. Death brings much pain and sorrow, but take heart that “The Believer’s Deathday Better Than His Birthday” and the deaths of God’s people are “Precious Deaths” because they mark the day of our heavenly homegoing.

Spurgeon’s Scripture-saturated preaching has lifted grieving souls for generations. I hope this new volume of classic sermons will do the same for you, whether you consider the fate that will come upon us all, grieve the loss of a loved one, or walk through the valley of the shadow of death yourself.

“Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God has prepared for them that love him.” 1 Corinthians 2:9
