What's the Point of Theology?

What's the Point of Theology?

Wisdom, Wellbeing and Wonder

Millions around the world have benefitted from Alister McGrath's long engagement with theology. His gift for communicating the riches arising from academic scholarship in an easily understandable way - and his willingness to share hard won insights from a personal faith that developed only after serious early engagement with atheism - are deeply engaging. In this brand new volume, Alister focuses on a question that will resonate with Christians and with those who are spiritually curious - just what is theology for?

The answer, he believes, is that theology offers us a gateway to discovery. It helps us grow in wisdom, deepening our understanding what really matters; it contributes to our wellbeing as we cultivate a vision of the good life (which helps us stay sane); it sparks our innate sense of wonder through worship and reflection on the beauty of nature; it increases our faith and love as we draw ever closer to the divine.

You Were Never Meant to Do It All

You Were Never Meant to Do It All

A 40-Day Devotional on the Goodness of Being Human

2025 Gospel Coalition Book Award (Devotional Literature)

Are you exhausted, anxious, and sick of feeling like you should always be doing one more thing?

In this 40-day devotional, award-winning author Kelly Kapic helps you embrace the truth that God never intended for you to do it all. Topics include:

● facing your limits in a world that demands more, more, more

● why God's love isn't contingent on your behavior

● the goodness of your body and the importance of embodied worship

● finding beauty in humility, dependence on others, and rest

● cultivating gratitude and embracing the rhythms and seasons of life

Each devotion begins with a meaningful quote and ends with reflection questions. Kapic shows that limitations aren't sinful but rather that God purposefully designed humans to have limits and depend on one another. Rightly appreciated, these good limits promote freedom, joy, growth, and community.

This devotional is based on Kapic's 2022 book, You're Only Human, and covers the same themes in a more accessible format. As you take this 40-day devotional journey, you'll follow a path to more holistic living that fosters a vision for healthy self-understanding, life-giving relationships, and meaningful contributions to the world.

You Come from Greatness: A Celebration of Black History: A Picture Book

You Come from Greatness: A Celebration of Black History: A Picture Book

A young boy learns that he is walking in the footsteps of greatness through a vibrant, lyrical retelling of Black history—both a love letter to Black children and an anthem empowering them to know their God-given worth.

You came bustling into the world, a mighty bundle of energy, ready to do great things. And no wonder. You stand on the shoulders of those who came before, and you, too, were born to shine.

Starting with his birth, the boy's father lays out the history of his son's ancestry: from the love and warmth of a big family, to the change makers and status shakers, the inventors and engineers, the astronomers, philosophers, and storytellers, the leaders and the doctors. The father details the legacy and impact of Black ancestors whose determination, strength, dedication, creativity, and leadership contributed to making the world better.

Throughout the story, the boy discovers the rich heritage of those that have gone before him and learns how he embodies that same greatness. He, too, has the power to change the world by embracing exactly who God made him to be.

You Come from Greatness includes illustrations of Black historical figures such as Wangari Muta Maathai, Ellie Mannette, Rebecca Lee Crumpler, and more, with twenty short biographies at the end of the book.

Saltwater and Honey

Saltwater and Honey

Lost Dreams, Good Grief and a Better Story

An honest look at the messiness of life when you are forced to live the life you didn't imagine.

Salt Water and Honey is a story about pregnancy loss and childlessness that doesn't end with a baby. It's told from the messy middle, allowing space for the tension between faith and loss to remain rather than trying to neaten it up with solutions and reasons. Lizzie has experienced the pain of multiple miscarriages and writes honestly about her struggle and fight to find God in her suffering. She is honest about the low points and the pain, but she also shares her journey as she comes to understand that her true identity is not defined by motherhood but by being a child of God.

Lizzie's story provides a safe space to remind people that they're not alone, it's okay to grieve and their story matters. Covering many universal truths such as unanswered prayer, grief, disappointment, vulnerability and faith in crisis this book is actually for anyone who has lost their dream and is struggling to understand that their story still has meaning and purpose even when life looks nothing like they hoped it would.

What to Do With Worry

What to Do With Worry

Why Playing God Never Works

Everyone knows what it feels like to worry. But one of the clearest and repeated things the Bible tells us about worry is: Don’t. Don’t do it. It’s not worth it. It doesn’t work. And, oh yeah, by the way, it’s sin. And it’s not just a lighthearted, white collar, domesticated sin. It’s serious business. It’s deadly. It’ll ruin your life…and your eternity if you let it.

This short book is designed to help us understand worry all the way down to its roots and all the way up to its worst fruits. We want to see worry the way God does so that we can repent and by His grace be fully and finally free. We will never move past all sin and temptation in this life. But by the blood of Christ, we can see progressive and sustainable victory over sin in our lives.

Thank God that’s not all He tells us about worry. He is such a good and gracious Father. More than that, He is our great High Priest that has come and lived among us. He has suffered with us and for us. He fought the fight against worry with us and for us. He is our model of how to fight. He is also our Savior when we fall in the fight.

Olan Stubb’s wise book is an ideal read for anyone who struggles with worry.

One Minute After You Die

One Minute After You Die

A Preview of Your Final Destination

"One minute after you die you will either be elated or terrified. And it will be too late to reroute your travel plans."

Death comes to all, and yet death is not the end. For some, death is the beginning of unending bliss, for others, unending despair. In this latest edition of the bestselling book One Minute After You Die, Pastor Erwin W. Lutzer weighs the Bible's words on life after death. He considers:

  • Channeling, reincarnation, and near-death experiences
  • What heaven and hell will be like
  • The justice of eternal punishment
  • Trusting in God's providence
  • Preparing for your own final moment

Though the afterlife is shrouded in mystery, the Bible does peel back the curtain. Dr. Lutzer will help you understand what is on the other side.

May the reality of eternity quicken and comfort you today.
