The Case for Grace A Journalist Explores the Evidence of Transformed Lives Zondervan

With millions sold in his Case series, renowned author, speaker, and journalist Lee Strobel returns to his sweet spot: presenting true stories of lives that have been revolutionized and renewed by God’s grace—including neverbeforetold details of his own amazing journey of transformation.

Building on the success of his bestselling Case series, Lee Strobel crafts a compelling and highly personal experiential case for God in The Case for Grace, focusing on God’s transforming work in the lives of men and women today.

Writing with unusual candor, Lee draws upon his own journey from atheism to Christianity to explore the depth and breadth of God’s redeeming love for spiritually wayward people. He interviews ordinary individuals whose values have been radically changed and who have discovered the “how” and “why” behind God’s amazing grace. He profiles racists, addicts, and even murderers who have found new hope and purpose. He tells the stories of oncebitter people who have received God’s power to forgive those who have harmed them—and, equally amazing, people mired in guilt who have discovered that they can even forgive themselves.

Searching for Sunday Loving, Leaving, and Finding the Church Rachel Held Evans

l Speaks directly to the estimated eight million young adults who will leave the Church before their 30th birthday.

l Rachel has more than 413,450 unique visitors per month to her blog, 31,300 heavily engaged Facebook fans, and 43,600 Twitter followers.

l Rachel's last book, A Year of Biblical Womanhood, was a New York Times bestseller.

New York Times bestselling author Rachel Held Evans embarks on a quest to find out what it really means to be part of the Church. Like millions of her millennial peers, Rachel Held Evans didn't want to go to church anymore. The hypocrisy, the politics, the gargantuan building budgets, the scandalschurch culture seemed so far removed from Jesus. Yet, despite her cynicism and misgivings, something kept drawing her back to Church. And so she set out on a journey to understand Church and to find her place in it. Centered around seven sacraments, Evans' quest takes readers through a liturgical year with stories about baptism, communion, confirmation, confession, marriage, vocation, and death that are funny, heartbreaking, and sharply honest. A memoir about making do and taking risks, about the messiness of community and the power of grace, Searching for Sunday is about overcoming cynicism to find hope and, somewhere in between, Church.

Rachel Held Evans, an awardwinning writer, is a popular blogger and the author of Faith Unraveled and the bestselling A Year of Biblical Womanhood. She lives in Dayton, TN.

What Keeps You Up at Night? How to Find Peace While Chasing Your Dreams Pete Wilson

l Gives biblical counsel and practical steps to replace your paralyzing fears with God's unfailing peace

l Develops the perspective needed to break through the stress and anxieties that continue to weigh you down

l Written by popular pastor and author with a strong following through both the local church and an online community

It's easy to feel paralyzed by uncertainty. We want our questions answered, our decisions affirmed, and our plans applauded. But life doesn't come with an instruction manual and rarely follows a straight path. How would your life change if you learned to lean into uncertainty instead of waiting on the sidelines for just the right moment or opportunity? The paradox of faith is that you can't activate it until you act on it. Trust compels us to move forward. If you don't, then you'll be left with a laundry list of unrealized expectations. You were meant to experience a life of abundance and blessing, not frustration and failure. Clarity only comes when we look back. So if you wait until you have clarity, you'll never find it. Instead, you must move forward even when you feel scared to death. That is when you'll be able to turn the fears that keep you up at night into fuel for your journey. If you want to experience a breakthrough in your life, then you must find a new cadence that will pr...

Pete Wilson is the founding and senior pastor of Cross Point Church in Nashville, Tennessee. Pete desires to see churches become radically devoted to Christ, irrevocably committed to one another, and relentlessly dedicated to reaching those outside of God's family. Pete and his wife, Brandi, have three boys.

Women are Scary The Totally Awkward Adventure of Finding Mom Friends Melanie Dale

A popular blogger offers solid advice to forming mom relationships, leading readers from acquaintances to lifelong friends.

Too many women are frazzled and lonely, isolated in their minivans while schlepping bags, strollers, and munchkins to and fro across town. It doesn’t have to be this way. In this hilarious yet thoughtprovoking guide to “momlationships,” blogger Melanie Dale uses a dating analogy to help women get more intentional about bonding with each other. “We are better together,” she writes. “We make each other better moms, better humans. We need each other, because mothering is just too darn hard.” Using humor and stories from the trenches of motherhood, Women are Scary leads readers from acquaintances to lifelong friends. “This is our journey to each other,” Melanie continues, “to finding our people and being other people’s people, learning how to bless each other and not destroy each other.”

Melanie Dale is a geek on a Godride, a minivan mama and total weirdo who stinks at small talk. Her laugh is a combination honksnort, and it’s so bad that people have moved away from her in the movie theater. She adores scifi and superheroes and is terrified of Pinterest. She’s a lover of Jesus, of her hubby Alex, and of all her kids. Living in the Atlanta area, she blogs at Unexpected.org abo...

Jesus without Borders What Planes, Trains, and Rickshaws Taught Me about Jesus Chad Gibbs

A new, offbeat, lighthearted travel memoir from Chad Gibbs, blogger and columnist who has written for CNN, The Washington Post, and RELEVANT Magazine, and has made multiple appearances on ESPN.

A greater understanding of Christian culture around the world That’s what author and columnist Chad Gibbs was hoping for when he stepped outside of his comfortable existence in the buckle of America’s Bible Belt, where he has lived his entire life. Over the course of many months, Chad and his Alabama worldview spent time with believers from Beijing to Rio de Janeiro, worshiping with them and observing not only how their faith influences their daily lives but also how their daily lives influence their faith, in hopes of learning which parts of his faith have been compromised by the American Dream. Told with Gibbs’ trademark humor, Jesus Without Borders enlightens and entertains, introducing readers to believers around the world in hopes of eliminating prejudices and misconceptions, clearing away the parts of our culture that keep us from seeing a clearer picture of Christ, and living connected to the family of faith around the globe.

Chad Gibbs, former baby, is the bestselling (Okay, regional bestselling) author of God & Football: Faith an Fanaticism in the SEC. He has written for CNN, The Washington Post, and RELEVANT Magazine, and has made multiple (Okay, three) appearances on ESPN. Gibbs and a fellow mammal reside in Alabama with their offspring and two canines that are not their offspring. Website:

Reintroducing Jesus The One American Christians Love to Ignore Ray Johnston

l Engaging storydriven approach offers a compelling perspective which opens a crucial discussion for Christians and nonChristians alike

l Reminds readers who Jesus is and how He came to redeem and restore the lost l Identifies how the church has misrepresented Jesus by creating Him in man's image

l Focuses on the words of Jesus from the Bible l Continues the innovative marketing partnership begun with The Hope Quotient and the Bayside Church, Thrive Conference, Compassion, and KLOVE/Air1 teams

As early as 50 AD, Christians had gotten away from knowing who Jesus really is. Our generation is no different. In every decade we, as Americans, lost something important that we couldn't afford to lose:

l In the 1950's, we lost innocence l In the 1960's, we lost respect for authority l In the 1970's, we lost love l In the 1980's, we lost values l In the 1990's, we lost faith l In the 2000's, we lost security l In the 2010's, we lost hope in the future

What can restore what we've lost? Only Jesus. Jesus gave us His name, His friendship, and a commission to accept responsibility for ourselves and for the world. When introduced to His words and ways we'll rediscover the Jesus who:

l Wants His enemies won over, not wiped out l Wants you to stop playing it safe l Believed great things were possible no matter what things are like right now l Was full of grace and truth l Unleashed compassion l Believed no one was too far from God to return to Him l Loves the church

Jesus Swagger Break Free from Poser Christianity Jarrid Wilson

l Wilson's blog draws more than 50,000 unique visitors monthly and was featured in Wall Street Journal.

l Wilson's social media platform is significant and growing: 117,000 likes on Facebook, 43,000 followers on Twitter, and more than 20,000 fans on Instagram.

l Jesus Swagger combines fun, selfdeprecating stories with culturally savvy insights.

l Features blurbs from Bob Goff, Jon Acuff, Dale Partridge, Jefferson Bethke, and Judah Smith.

Millennial pastor Jarrid Wilson calls his generation to drop the pretenses and poses of false Christianity and walk like true followers of Jesus. It's easy to live in America as a poser Christian, to keep up appearances while remaining unchanged by the gospel. But in a world of constant conformity, God has called us to be different (Romans 12:2) and set apart (Jeremiah 1:5), walking with a genuine Jesus Swagger. None of us does that perfectly, but all of us can do it better. Jesus Swagger is about giving younger Christians the perspective necessary to see how they're doing. Chapter by chapter, Jesus Swagger exposes a piece of our false self and bogus motivations so we can become real followers. If we take that journey, we will find a deeper relationship with Godone that changes the world around us. Real Jesus Swagger is contagious. It's about being who God has called us to be, and not who the world is tempting us to be.

Jarrid Wilson is a pastor, author, and blogger whose motivation is to help others find their identity in Christ. Jarrid is currently studying biblical studies and theology through Liberty University. He has assisted in social media strategies for three New York Times bestsellers and currently serves as the social media strategist for Logos Bible Software in Bellingham, Washington.

Runaway Radical A Young Man's Reckless Journey to Save the World Amy Hollingsworth, Jonathan Hollingsworth

l Both a cautionary tale and a cry of liberation for an entire generation of young people clamoring to save the world

l The first book of its kind to highlight the painful personal consequences of the new radicalism

l Speaks to both devout believers and to prodigals

Travel the world, change lives, save souls. (Note: Results not typical.) A young idealist heeds the call to radical obedience, gives away all of his belongings and shaking off the fetters of a complacent life, travels halfway around the world. There he discovers, among the poor and the fatherless of West Africa, that he has only surrendered to a new kind of captivity. There is no doubt that young people today are fully invested in social and human rights issues. They start their own nonprofits, they run their own charities, they raise money for worthy causes. Books on saving the world abound, topping the bestsellers' lists, fueling the drive to prove not only commitment to the world but devotion to God. Now there is a new crop of books starting to emerge, detailing the consequences of trying to save a world that is not ours to save. But none of these books tell the story that Runaway Radical tells; this is the first book to highlight the painful personal consequences of the new radicalism...

A Doubter's Guide to the Bible Inside History’s Bestseller for Believers and Skeptics John Dickson

A concise account of the whole biblical narrative and the lifestyle it inspires, representing a unique and engaging framework for those observing Christianity from the outside, especially those who think there are good reasons not to believe.

The Bible is the most influential book in history, yet remains unexplored by many. In A Doubter’s Guide to the Bible, John Dickson provides a readable and winsome Bible primer summarizing the main themes in scripture, addressing tough questions such as “How can we read the creation account in Genesis in light of modern science?“, and “How do we approach Old Testament law when it appears inconsistent and irrelevant?” By presenting the whole of the Bible as an account of God’s promise to restore humanity to himself, and humanity to one another and to creation, Dickson allows believers and skeptics alike to gain insight into why the Bible has been a compelling, lifechanging, and magnetic force throughout the ages.

John Dickson (PhD, Macquarie University, Sydney) is a senior research fellow of the Department of Ancient History, Macquarie University; codirector of the Centre for Public Christianity; and senior minister at St. Andrew’s Roseville. The author of more than a dozen books, he is the host of two major historical documentaries for Australian television and is a busy public speaker in corporations, u...

Becoming Worldly Saints Can You Serve Jesus and Still Enjoy Your Life? Michael E. Wittmer

A fresh, contemporary approach examining the tension between enjoying earthly pleasures and seeking heavenly purpose, freeing Christians to both enjoy their ordinary life and pursue the ministry God has called them to.

If following Jesus involves a life of sacrifice and suffering, is it wrong for a Christian to seek purpose and joy in this world? Many Christians sense a tension between their desire to enjoy life in this world—the beauty of God’s creation and the rich love of deep relationships with others—and the reality that this world is fallen and broken, in need of redemption. How can believers both enjoy earthly creation and seek eternal redemption? According to author Michael Wittmer, as “worldly saints,” created in the image of God, we are natural creatures with a supernatural purpose—to know and love God. Because we live in a world that is stained by the curse of sin, we must learn to embrace our nature as creatures created in the image of God while recognizing our desperate need for the grace that God offers to us in the gospel. Writing in a devotional style that is theologically rich, biblically accurate, and aimed at ordinary readers, Wittmer helps people understand who they are, why they are ...

Michael Wittmer is currently Professor of Systematic Theology at GRTS in Grand Rapids, MI. He is the author of Heaven Is a Place on Earth, Don’t Stop Believing, The Last Enemy, and Despite Doubt. He and his wife, Julie, live in Grand Rapids, Michigan with their three children: Avery, Landon, and Alayna.

Killing Christians Living the Faith Where It's Not Safe to Believe Tom Doyle

l Offers insights into why Christians are being martyred in astounding, but often unreported, numbers

l Includes neverbeforetold stories from the front lines of the world of Islam from an expert on the current situation in the Middle East, particularly the tense relationship between Israel and the Palestinian people

l Will inspire Western Christians to live with a new passion for Jesus, as more Muslims have become believers in the last ten years than in the last fifteen centuries of Islam

Could you retain your faith even if it meant losing your life? Your family's lives? To many Christians in the Middle East today, a "momentary, light affliction" means enduring only torture instead of martyrdom. The depth of oppression Jesus followers suffer is unimaginable to most Western Christians. Yet, it is an everyday reality for those who choose faith over survival in Syria, Iran, Egypt, Lebanon, and other countries hostile to the Gospel of Christ. In Killing Christians, Tom Doyle takes readers to the secret meetings, the torture rooms, the grim prisons, and even the executions that are the "calling" of countless MuslimsturnedChristians. Each survivor longs to share with brothers and sisters "on the outside" what Christ has taught them. Killing Christians is their message to readers who still enjoy freedom to practice their faith. None would wish their pain and suffering on those who do not have to brave such misery, but the richness gained through their remarkable trials are del...

Tom Doyle pastored churches in Colorado, Texas, and New Mexico for twenty years before becoming a missionary in the Middle East. His passion for Israel was fed through guiding tours there, eventually becoming a tour guide for the State of Israel.

A Wilderness of Mirrors Trusting Again in a Cynical World Mark Meynell

Charting the cultural reasons behind the broken trust with leaders, educators, and even within families that marks today’s society, and the gospelcentered honesty, humility, and truth that can overcome the brokenness and suspicion and rewrite it with hope.

Despite all of Western society’s material and technological advances, its people are experiencing ever deeper levels of suspicion caused by a breakdown of trust. Misled by authorities and institutions, by businesses and politicians, and even by those they’ve entrusted with their personal care, the very cohesion of society seems tenuous at times. The church is not immune from these trends. With a dubious record when it has wielded power, its members are as afflicted by the culture’s breakdown as anyone. In A Wilderness of Mirrors author Mark Meynell explores the roots of the discord and alienation that mark today’s society, but he also outlines a gospelbased reason for hope. An astute social observer with a pastor’s spiritual sensitivity, Meynell grounds his antidote on four bedrocks of the Christian faith: sin, Jesus, the church, and the story of redemption. Ultimately hopeful, A Wilderness of Mirrors calls Christians to bear witness to Jesus’s victory amid a disillusioned world, a world...

To teach a child about money, you must first know his or her Money Personality. Your Money Relationship with your kids has nothing to do with how much you spend on them. It has nothing to do with how much you've saved for college or the allowance you give. It has nothing to do with how much debt you have or how much you've invested. Those are your financial arrangements, and this book is not going to spend much time discussing those. Instead, it's going to dig into what really makes or breaks a family in any area: relationships.
