The Hearts We Mend (A Banister Falls Novel)

Author(s): Kathryn Springer
Publisher: Zondervan
Price: $0.99 (Aug 18-20)

Planning and Post-It notes are the epitome of Evie’s life. But when she meets Jack, her life gets more than a little complicated.

Thirteen years ago, Evie’s firefighterhusband was killed in the line of duty, leaving her to raise their young son, Cody, alone. Now, Cody is marrying the love of his life, and as he packs up his belongings, the house feels as empty as Evie’s heart. But for all her planning and mad organizational skills, Evie could never have anticipated the dramatic shift her life is about to make.

Tattooed, rough-around-the-edgesJack raises quite a few eyebrows in the tight-knit community of Banister Falls. Where Evie’s life is stream-lined, Jack’s approach to living is moment-by-moment. But as Evie gets drawn into Jack’s world—a world that isn’t as safe or predictable as the one she’s worked so hard to create—he challenges her to open her eyes to the problems outside the walls of the church.

Jack doesn’t make Evie feel comfortable, but he definitely makes her feel something. Something she hasn’t felt since Max passed away—or, maybe ever. Because even though Jack isn’t anything like her late husband, he just might be everything she needs.

People Are the Mission: How Churches Can Welcome Guests Without Compromising the Gospel

Author(s): Danny Franks
Publisher: Zondervan
Price: $2.99 (Ends Aug 19)

When it comes to interacting with guests and new attendees, churches typically gravitate toward one of two camps: shock and awe or unfortunate afterthought. On one extreme, a zeal to welcome guests inadvertently makes people the center of the universe. At the other, hospitality and a friendly welcome is effectively ignored in deference to the “serious business” of worship.

People Are the Mission proposes a healthy middle between these two extremes, one where guests are esteemed but the gospel is the goal. Danny Franks, Pastor of Guest Services at The Summit Church, shows churches how to take a more balanced approach: ministries that are guest-friendly from the outset and gospel-centric to their core. Danny shows not only how to effectively bring people in and convince them to stay, but also why our hospitality to honor the stranger doesn’t stand in opposition to honoring the Savior.

The Emotionally Healthy Woman

Author(s): Geri Scazzero
Publisher: Zondervan
Price: $1.99

Geri Scazzero knew there was something desperately wrong with her life. She felt like a single parent raising her four young daughters alone. She finally told her husband, “I quit,” and left the thriving church he pastored, beginning a journey that transformed her and her marriage for the better.

In this eight-session, video-based Bible study (study guide sold separately), Geri provides you with eight things every woman should quit for her own emotional health. The journey to emotional health begins by quitting. Geri quit being afraid of what others thought. She quit lying. She quit denying her anger and sadness. She quit living someone else’s life.

When you quit those things that are damaging to your soul or the souls of others, you are freed up to choose other ways of being and relating that are rooted in love and lead to life.

This video can be used for personal reflection or for group discussion with the Emotionally Healthy Woman Workbook (sold separately).

Christ from Beginning to End: How the Full Story of Scripture Reveals the Full Glory of Christ

Author(s): Trent Hunter & Stephen Wellum
Publisher: Zondervan
Price: $2.99 (Aug 6-12)

How we see Christ and how we read the Bible are directly related. And while many people are encouraged to know that the Bible is about Christ, they end up discouraged when they can’t explain how the Bible’s various parts relate to him. Some attempt to force the pieces of the Bible together, making superficial jumps to Jesus. Others give up trying to understand the Bible altogether, losing confidence in God’s Word.

So, how can we read the Bible in such way as to grow in the knowledge of Jesus Christ on every page of Scripture? We need a full reading of Scripture, one that reads the Bible according to its nature, its structure, and its own agenda. You’ll learn how to:

read the Bible according to according to three biblical contexts: the immediate context, the unfolding context, and the final context
recognize how different parts of the Bible interlock with other parts of the Bible, fitting together like a puzzle
embrace the story of the Bible as our own, to live this story out, and to share this story with our neighbors and the nations
Along the way, Wellum and Hunter explore the connecting thread of covenant and how it ties several key biblical figures together. They also unpack some of the trickier questions Bible readers face today including how the Old Testament law applies today as well as several apologetic challenges to the Old Testament. For the first time, you will be able to see the Bible’s multi-layered story and how it is held together by one plan of God to glorify himself in salvation. You’ll come away with a clearer and more profound vision of our own need as sinners, of God in all of his grace, and of Jesus in all of his glory.

The Case for Faith: A Journalist Investigates the Toughest Objections to Christianity

Author(s): Lee Strobel
Publisher: Zondervan
Price: $1.99 (Ends Aug 3)

In his #1 best-seller The Case for Christ, legally trained investigative reporter Lee Strobel examined the claims of Christ, reaching the hard-won verdict that Jesus is God’s unique son. But despite the compelling historical evidence that Strobel presented, many people grapple with serious concerns about faith in God. As in a court of law, they want to shout, “Objection!” They say, “If God is love, then what about all the suffering in our world?” Or, “If Jesus is the door to heaven, then what about the millions who have never heard of him?” Or, “If God cares for everyone, then why does he eternally torture some in hell?”In The Case for Faith, Strobel turns his tenacious investigative skills to the most persistent emotional objections to belief–the eight “heart” barriers to faith. The Case for Faith is for those who may be feeling attracted to Jesus but who are faced with formidable intellectual barriers standing squarely in their path. For Christians, it will deepen their convictions and give them fresh confidence in discussing Christianity with even their most skeptical friends.
