The God Who Is There (The IVP Signature Collection)

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

Author(s): Francis A. Schaeffer
Publisher: Intervarsity Press
Price: $2.99 (July 27-28)

For over fifty years The God Who Is There has been a landmark work that has changed the way the church sees the world. Francis Schaeffer’s first book presents a wide-ranging analysis of the intellectual and cultural climate of the second half of the twentieth century, from philosophy to art to liberal theology. Arguing that Christians must constantly engage the questions being asked by their own―and the next―generation, he envisions apologetics and spirituality both grounded in absolute truth and engaging the whole of reality.
“If we are unexcited Christians, we should go back and see what is wrong,” Schaeffer writes. “We are surrounded by a generation that can find ‘no one home’ in the universe. . . . In contrast to this, as a Christian I know who I am; and I know the personal God who is there.” In every age, this God continues to provide the anchor of truth and the power of love to meet the world’s deepest problems.
Named by Christianity Today as one of the “Top 50 Books That Have Shaped Evangelicals” (October 2006), this redesigned classic is now available as part of the IVP Signature Collection.

Life in the Presence of God: Practices for Living in Light of Eternity

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

Author(s): Kenneth Boa
Publisher: Intervarsity Press
Price: $2.99 (July 13-14)

2018 IVP Readers’ Choice Award

God is everywhere and always with us. So why don’t we experience his presence more?
Life is full of distractions, and our 24/7 news cycles and social media drown out the voice of God. It’s hard to discern God’s presence amid the hubbub. But experiencing God is not just for the super-spiritual or ultra-mature. Every Christian can learn to cultivate a greater awareness of God in the everyday.
Ken Boa offers a contemporary guide to practicing the presence of God. Using biblical foundations, living and historical examples, and evidence from neuroscience, Ken reveals how we can walk with God and abide in his presence. We need to rethink how we use our time and technology to make room for God, to train ourselves with new habits that deepen our awareness of God. This book offers not a magical technique but dozens of practical exercises and disciplines that help us draw close to God even in the midst of our cacophonous modern culture.
Practicing God’s presence is not just for the professionals. It’s for ordinary people like us. And the more we live in God’s presence, the greater our abiding peace and joy.

Separated by the Border: A Birth Mother, a Foster Mother, and a Migrant Child’s 3,000-Mile Journey

Author(s): Gena Thomas
Publisher: Intervarsity Press
Price: $3.99

In 2017 five-year-old Julia traveled with her mother, Guadalupe, from Honduras to the United States. Her harrowing journey took her through Mexico in the cargo section of a tractor trailer. Then she was separated from her mother, who was held hostage by smugglers who exploited her physically and financially. At the United States border, Julia came through the processing center as an unaccompanied minor after being separated from her stepdad who was deported.
Gena Thomas tells the story of how Julia came to the United States, what she experienced in the system, and what it took to reunite her with her family. A Spanish-speaking former missionary, Gena became Julia’s foster mother and witnessed firsthand the ways migrant children experience trauma. Weaving together the stories of birth mother and foster mother, this book shows the human face of the immigrant and refugee, the challenges of the immigration and foster care systems, and the tenacious power of motherly love.
