Everywhere You Look: Discovering the Church Right Where You Are

Author(s): Tim Soerens
Publisher: Intervarsity Press
Price: $3.99

What’s the point of the church anyway? The emerging generation is opting out of the church in large numbers. They’re embarrassed at how the church is portrayed in the media and dismayed at what appears to be their options for participation. Is church really necessary anymore? Is it even possible?
Tim Soerens sees this unsettled state of affairs as an extraordinary opportunity: the church, he says, is on the edge of a new possibility at the very moment so much of it feels like it’s falling apart. In his extensive travels in all kinds of neighborhoods, Soerens has seen the beginnings of this movement firsthand. In Everywhere You Look, he lays out practical, actionable steps for building collaborative communities in any neighborhood.
Here is a vision of the church grounded in a grassroots movement of ordinary people living out what it means to be the church in their everyday lives. Read this book―and join the movement.

Sex and the City of God: A Memoir of Love and Longing

Author(s): Carolyn Weber
Publisher: Intervarsity Press
Price: $3.99 (Ends Mar 10)

When Carolyn Weber moved to Oxford University to study, she didn’t expect to find God there. But she did. As she grappled with her newest and most important relationship, she also found that there was another invitation: to think bigger about love.
In this book we follow Weber through courtship and into marriage and parenthood. Now a literature professor, Weber reflects on her relationship with a sometimes-absent father and how that has shaped her. Through her personal story, as well as spiritual, theological, and literary reflection, Sex and the City of God explores what life looks like when we choose to love God first.

The Beautiful Community: Unity, Diversity, and the Church at Its Best

Author(s): Irwyn L. Ince Jr.
Publisher: Intervarsity Press
Price: $3.99

2020 The Gospel Coalition Book Award – First-Time Author Award – Honorable Mention
The church is at its best when it pursues the biblical value of unity in diversity.
Our world has been torn asunder by racial, ethnic, and ideological differences. It is seen in our politics, felt in our families, and ingrained in our theology. Sadly, the church has often reinforced these ethnic and racial divides. To cast off the ugliness of disunity and heal our fractured humanity, we must cultivate spiritual practices that help us pursue beautiful community.
In The Beautiful Community, pastor and theologian Irwyn Ince boldly unpacks the reasons for our divisions while gently guiding us toward our true hope for wholeness and reconciliation. God reveals himself to us in his trinitarian life as the perfection of beauty, and essential to this beauty is his work as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The gospel imperative to pursue the beautiful community―unity in diversity across lines of difference―is rooted in reflecting the beautiful community of our triune God. This book calls us into and provides tools for that pursuit.

The Seamless Life: A Tapestry of Love and Learning, Worship and Work

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

Author(s): Steven Garber
Publisher: Intervarsity Press
Price: $2.99 (Mar 1-2)

We all want to make sense of life, of who we are and why we are, and to know that what we do―day in and day out―matters. But the daily demands―work, eat, sleep, repeat―often lead to a life that feels void of meaning and disjointed from our deepest beliefs about faith, hope, and love.
Steven Garber challenges us to move beyond our fragmented sense of reality and began to see all we are and all we do―our work, our play, our relationships, our worship, our loves―as significant to God and to what God is doing in the world. Once we discover that there is no chasm between heaven and earth, and begin to see the truest truths of the universe woven into the very meaning of life, labor, learning and liturgy, we are able to understand the coherence of the work of God and of our lives in the world.
This is the seamless life―to recognize the hand of God and the handiwork of God right in the middle of our ordinary lives. To see all of life as sacred. And to understand that it all matters.
