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.

Price: $1.99       (Ends Jul 31)

Sometimes what you think you want and what you actually want turn out to be different things . . .

Rosie Waterman has one dream: to become a working actor. But lately, that hasn’t been working out. When she loses her apartment and her job on the same day, she does what she always does–puts herself out there, ready to find the next big thing. But a trip home makes her realize that while she’s been struggling to make this dream come true, all her friends have become real adults with careers and weddings and babies on the way. Rosie’s been at this for years, and she has nothing to show for it. But how does she simply let go of her dream?

When she’s offered a job as the director of a regional theatre’s production of Cinderella, she jumps at the chance–even though she’s only directed in college and the job is in Door County, Wisconsin, and not in New York. She has no other offers, and at least she’ll be getting paid to do something theatrical. But when she arrives, she quickly realizes that the “regional theatre” is actually in a retirement community, and the “actors” are actually senior citizens with no acting experience whatsoever.

God’s Battle Plan for the Mind

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

Author(s): David W. Saxton
Publisher: Reformation Heritage
Price: $2.99       (July 29-30)

During the seventeenth century, English Puritan pastors often encouraged their congregations in the spiritual discipline of meditating on God and His Word. Today, however, much of evangelicalism is either ignorant of or turned off to the idea of meditation. In ‘God’s Battle Plan for the Mind’, pastor David Saxton seeks to convince God’s people of the absolute necessity for personal meditation and motivate them to begin this work themselves. But he has not done this alone. Rather, he has labored through numerous Puritan works in order to bring together the best of their insights on meditation. Standing on the shoulders of these giants, Saxton teaches us how to meditate on divine truth and gives valuable guidance about how to rightly pattern our thinking throughout the day. With the rich experiential theology of the Puritans, this book lays out a course for enjoying true meditation on God’s Word.

Praying the Psalms: To Touch God and Be Touched by Him (Praying the Scriptures

Author(s): Elmer Towns
Publisher: Destiny Image
Price: $0.99      

The Psalms are about passion, and you should feel passionately when you read them. The Psalmist poured out his soul to God concerning the things that deeply moved him. As you read the Psalms, you are taking a peak into his heart. As you do you will cry when he weeps, shout when he rejoices, burn when he gets angry and fall on your face when he worships God.

Praying the Psalms is a wonderful way to meet God every day in your private devotions. You cannot get closer to God than when you pray the Scriptures, since the book of Psalms reflects the heart of God. Therefore, you will get close to His heart when you pray the Psalms. —DR. BILL BRIGHT Praying the Psalms carefully shapes the Psalms into personal prayers enabling you to identify with the Psalmist as he prayed. Dr. Towns delicately presents the Psalms as a living language that will move you from your feet to your knees.

The Mission of God and the Witness of the Church

Author(s): Justin A. Schell
Publisher: Crossway Books
Price: $2.99       (Aug 6-7)

A Canonical Journey to Explore the Mission of the Eternal God

“In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth” (Gen. 1:1). This declarative phrase introduces fundamental questions circling the minds of skeptics and believers of Christianity alike. What was God’s mission when he chose to create? And why, through the Savior’s death on the cross and the witness of his church, does he continue to redeem the very creation that rebels against him?

To answer these imperative questions, author Justin Schell takes readers on a canonical journey exploring the mission of the eternal God—Father, Son, and Spirit. Drawing insights from creation, the exodus of God’s people, the suffering servant, the Great Commission, and consummation, this book examines the purpose and beauty of God’s great story. It is out of an abundance of love that God brings us into union with him, calling his church to bear witness to all that has been done in Christ, until the day that he returns.
