LOS ANGELES TIMES BESTSELLER • Kerry and Chris Shook's grandson, Jude, lived for only one day after he was born. That one day changed the way they now live every day. Now they share their lessons of faith and hope.
As they recount the compelling true story of Jude's short but inspiring life, Kerry and Chris reveal the transformative insights they learned when tragedy struck their family. Told with humility and transparency, their story illustrates the goodness of God even in overwhelming circumstances as they share answers to the question: How do we live each day with attentive hope when life is often so crushingly hard?
Exploring the power of gratitude, the privilege of prayer, and the blessing of suffering, The Gift of One Day is a compelling and accessible Christian message of hope and encouragement for those wrestling with life's difficult days and seasons.
What if the miracles of Jesus weren't just for the past?
Healing the blind. Walking on water. Calming the storm. Feeding thousands with a few loaves and fish. Every miracle Jesus performed was for a purpose. There was provision for that specific moment in time. But what if each miracle was also embedded with the promise of future provision ... for you?
In Find Your Miracle, New York Times bestselling authors Kerry and Chris Shook take a fresh look at nine of Jesus' most incredible times of healing and supernatural intervention. The Shooks unpack these moments in modern language to usher you into the pain, the desperation, the breakthrough, and the miracle of each encounter. Plus they reveal a "miracle map" that connects that moment long ago to our needs today for revelation, transformation, and restoration.
As you seek the miracle you long for, Kerry and Chris encourage and prepare you for an even greater spiritual surprise God wants to perform in your life ... and in your heart.
"As Chris and Kerry unpack the miracles of Jesus, they show us that miracles are not the focus. They are just the road signs pointing to God-to a real and personal relationship with Him."-Mark Batterson, lead pastor of National Community Church, Washington, DC, and New York Times bestselling author
Maybe you're troubled by the disconnect between the words you speak and the life you live. Maybe you'd like to see your faith become more active and life-changing in the world around you.Pastor Kerry and Chris Shook felt that way. Even though their calling involved preaching and teaching, they became weary of sermons and words. They felt a gap between what they were saying and the needs of people around them.They decided to do something about it.Be the Message is their story of waking up to the gospel not just a gospel of words and sermons, but the gospel of intention and action and people. They discovered a profound secret:You Are the GospelAs they explored the deeper truths of scripture, the verse the word of God lives in you came alive. Digging deeper, they discovered that the gospel message is really about life message your life lived out. God's call to you is simple:Be the MessageBe the Message opens up a new world of understanding about what God calls you to. As the Shooks learned, the gospel is not about what you say. It's about who you are and what you do and how you can be God's hands and feet in the world.What would happen if we talked about God less and walked with God more?Be the Message reminds us that Christianity was meant to be a faith of action, not a faith of words. Yet often we sacrifice doing something for the sake of talking about it. When we actually act out on our faith, we find our faith grows even more.You can do more than nothing. People's lives are changed when you allow your life to be the gospel to the world.Living out the gospel in the world today is both simple and costly. The Shooks explore that paradox through biblical stories and their own experience of making a decision to live out the gospel in practical ways. Choosing to be the gospel changed their family, church and personal relationships with God.How can it change your life?
Everything you've been taught about relationships is wrong.
The movies and TV make it look easy. Matchmaking Web sites have it down to a science. Two people connect-love at first sight-and the relationship is magical from then on. But the truth is, strong, deep relationships that last a lifetime aren't based on the mysterious chemistry of two personalities. Real love in relationships-friends, married couples, siblings, parents-isn't a magic act. It's a journey. A great relationship grows from an investment of time and effort.
Kerry and Chris Shook know that deep relationships aren't built on initial attractions, but on last things-the experience you shared the last time you were with someone . . . the words you spoke with her last week . . . the effort you made for him the last time you were together. And Love at Last Sight offers a one-month relationship plan that will improve your most important bonds, including a weekly focus and daily readings that guide you through the process. By learning to be present in the moment, acting intentionally, risking awkwardness, and learning to let go, you'll discover wisdom from the Bible that contradicts what popular culture would have you believe.
Meaningful relationships depend on seeing other people as they are, so that the last time your eyes meet on this earth, your relationship will be closer and deeper than ever before. Love at Last Sight is the last book you'll need to get your dearest relationships right.
