California in 1850, a place where men sold their souls for a shot at gold, and women their bodies for a roof above their head. A bitter-twisted childhood of prostitution has tainted Angel's heart. She believes all men are cold-hearted. She believes them to be greedy, selfish creatures who take but never give - leaving you empty and dead inside.

Following God's will, Michael Hosea asks Angel for her hand in marriage, and vows to love her unconditionally. She'd be a fool to refuse his generous offer. Yet, she clings to her negative conception of men, and refuses to believe she could ever be loved. Michael proves his love time and time again until her once lifeless heart is awakened by the unfamiliar touch of love.

Overwhelmed by her unworthiness and fear she runs away. Yet in her desperate need for healing Michael's pursuing love isn't her cure. In the darkness she meets the lover of her soul, and discovers His redeeming love.

'What are the marks of a supernaturally changed heart?'

This is one of the questions the Apostle Paul addresses as he writes to the church in Corinth. He's not after some superficial outward tinkering, but instead a deep-rooted, life-altering change that takes place on the inside. In an age where pleasing people, puffing up your ego and building your resume are seen as the methods to 'make it', the Apostle Paul calls us to find true rest in blessed self-forgetfulness.

In this short and punchy book, best-selling author Timothy Keller, shows that gospel-humility means we can stop connecting every experience, every conversation with ourselves and can thus be free from self-condemnation. A truly gospel-humble person is not a self-hating person or a self-loving person, but a self-forgetful person.

This freedom can be yours...

In Be Still, Lucy Rycroft takes us on a journey of 30 Bible devotions, reflecting on the concept of being still. From Moses leading the Israelites through the Red Sea, to the raw emotions of the Psalms, to Jesus calming the storm, the focus of this book is how we, as Christians living in the crazed busyness of the 21st century, can absorb biblical truths to help us discover what being still looks like for us today.

Is it ok to be gay and Christian? Does the Bible really say that homosexuality is wrong? Is sexual orientation fundamental to identity?

Author and speaker Sam Allberry has expanded and restructured his best-selling book, which draws on his own experience as a believer who experiences same-sex attraction. As well as exploring Bible passages that talk directly about homosexuality, this new edition frames the whole discussion with Jesus’ general teaching on sex and marriage, as well as what Jesus teaches about finding ultimate satisfaction and happiness. It also challenges the current culture narrative, which inextricably ties sexuality to personal identity, and he shows that the gospel is good news for everyone, whatever their sexual orientation.

This sensitive exploration of the Bible’s teaching on sexuality has been written to help both Christians and non-Christians struggling with the Bible's teaching on this issue, whether they experience same-sex attraction themselves or not.

Includes answers to questions such as…

• Does Jesus ever mention same-sex relationships?
• Aren’t people just born this way?
• What should I do if a Christian comes out to me?
• Surely, isn't a same-sex partnership ok if it’s committed and faithful?
• Is it sinful to experience same-sex attraction?
• Isn’t the Christian view of sexuality harmful?
• Aren’t we just picking and choosing which Old Testament laws apply?
• Can’t Christians just agree to differ on this?
• Should Christians attend gay weddings?

Are you weary? Does the Christian life feel like drudgery? What can lift you up, cure your cold and flattened heart, and fill you with deep and lasting joy?The reality is that we will only be as full as the well we drink from, and many of us drink from very shallow wells indeed. This book is an invitation to every thirsty Christian, however weary and flat you are feeling, however weak and unworthy you consider yourself, to come to the waters and drink deeply.

You will do this as you contemplate the sight, the vision, that transforms from glory to glory.

"Michael Reeves invites the weary to come drink at the fountain that never runs dry. This book is comfort, balm, and rest to bruised and worn-out souls. I heartily recommend that you come and drink deeply of Christ."

Christianity Today Apologetics / Evangelism Book of the Year 2020

Christianity Today The Beautiful Orthodoxy Book of the Year 2020

Contrary to popular belief, Christianity is not declining in the modern world. It has long been the world's most popular belief system, and looks set to remain so. Rather than dismissing Christianity, therefore, we must wrestle with its claims.

This book explores 12 hard questions that seem to undermine the Christian faith: the existence of suffering, the Bible's teaching on gender and sexuality, the reality of judgment, the authority of Scripture, the success of science, and more. Drawing on state-of-the-art academic research, personal stories, and deep scriptural excavation, this book argues that—when looked at more closely—what first seemed like roadblocks to faith actually become signposts.

In this lively and engaging chapter book, children aged 7 plus will discover a fantastically faithful and diverse group of people who all have one thing in common: they answered God's call to make our world a better place.

Kids will meet:

* John Newton: a former slave ship owner who became a leading abolitionist

* Edith Brown: a pioneer of medical training for women in India

* Thomas Barnardo: a social activist who founded homes for poor and deprived children

* George Washington Carver: a former slave who became a ground breaking scientist

* Rosa Parks: a civil rights activist whose bravery helped improve the lives of African Americans

* Wangari Maathai: an environmental activist, and the first African woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize

* Christian Fuhrer: a pastor whose prayer movement helped bring about the reunification of Germany

* Joni Eareckson Tada: a disability rights activist who has helped people with disabilities find hope, dignity and faith

With humorous black and white line drawings and text that bounces of the page, this biography series for the twenty-first century will inspire kids to put their faith in Jesus and to use their talents for the glory of God.

For two thousand years billions of people have followed Jesus Christ. This volume of fifty men and women – scientists, doctors, scholars, writers, reformers, preachers, missionaries, abolitionists and evangelists – are J.John’s Heroes of the Faith.

Heroes of the Faith is a coffee-table book bursting with beautiful imagery and captivating stories. This is a book to savour.

Heidi Barr didn't believe in Jesus. No one in her Jewish family did, nor did they want to--especially not her father, who told her that Jesus Christ was the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on humankind. So when Heidi was in a terrible horseback riding accident and died at age 16, Jesus was the last person she expected to see. Yet she did. And then she returned to life.

This is the incredible true story of Heidi's difficult family life, her sudden death, her unexpectedly loving encounter with Jesus, and her return to life on earth as a person completely and irrevocably changed. This is also the story of Heidi loving her father and mother despite their disbelief of and disagreement with her faith. And this is the gripping, beautiful story of her parents' eventual reconciliation both with Heidi and with God, through the redeeming grace and all-encompassing love of Jesus Christ.
