Becoming Mrs. Lewis

Author(s): Patti Callahan
Publisher: Thomas Nelson
Price: $2.99       (June 2-8)

Meet the brilliant writer, fiercely independent mother, and passionate woman who captured the heart of C.S. Lewis and inspired the books that still enchant and change us today, from the?New York Times?bestselling author of?The Story She Left Behind.

When poet and writer Joy Davidman began writing letters to C. S. Lewis–known as Jack–she was looking for spiritual answers, not love. Love, after all, wasn’t holding together her crumbling marriage. Everything about New Yorker Joy seemed ill-matched for an Oxford professor and the beloved writer of The Chronicles of Narnia, yet their minds bonded over their letters.

Embarking on the adventure of her life, Joy traveled from America to England and back again, facing heartbreak and poverty, discovering friendship and faith, and against all odds, found a love that even the threat of death couldn’t destroy.

Jesus Revolution

Author(s): Greg Laurie
Publisher: Baker Books
Price: $3.99       (Jun 16-23)

God has always been interested in turning unlikely people into his most fervent followers. Prostitutes and pagans, tax collectors and tricksters. The more unlikely, the more it seemed to please God and to demonstrate his power, might, and mercy. America in the 1960s and 1970s was full of unlikely people–men and women who had rejected the stuffy religion of their parents’ generation, who didn’t follow the rules, didn’t fit in. The perfect setting for the greatest spiritual awakening of the 20th century.

With passion and purpose, Greg Laurie and Ellen Vaughn tell the amazing true story of the Jesus Movement, an extraordinary time of mass revival, renewal, and reconciliation. Setting fascinating personal stories within the context of one of the most tumultuous times in modern history, the authors draw important parallels with our own time of spiritual apathy or outright hostility, offering hope for the next generation of unlikely believers–and for the next great American revival.

Those who lived through the Jesus Revolution will find here an inspiring reminder of the times and people that shaped their lives and faith. Younger readers will discover a forgotten part of recent American history and, along with it, a reason to believe that God is not finished with their generation.

 

Man Up!: A Guide to Restoring Biblical Manhood

SPONSORED LISTING

Author(s): Mike Winter
Publisher: Know God Coach Publishing
Price: $4.99      

MAN Up! is a biblical challenge to men to embrace their God-given glory by assuming their God-ordained role. My goal for this book is to give you a helpful tool for measuring yourself as a man, a standard for your sons to aim at, and a scale for weighing your future son(s)-in-law(s).

Masculinity is under attack in the modern world. Never in human history has disrespect, dishonor, and confusion been so prevalent in world society over the nature of a man. Knowing nothing about manhood or how to be a man at birth, a male child grows up wondering who he is and how to live. This is not how God intended things to be.

God made man in His image. God came to earth as a man. God loves men and has given them the opportunity to live with Him forever in honor and glory. While a man’s value is no greater than his fellow created image-bearer, woman, his role and purpose are unique as defined by God.

God has given us men a clear purpose for our lives, a clear target to shoot for. This book helps you focus on that target with practical ideas for helping you hit the bullseye. You need to make the decision to man up!

Yet indeed I also count all things loss for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord. —Philippians 3:8
