Strong to the End: The Simple Service and Sudden Sacrifice of the Martyrs in Haiti

"Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends. John 15:13 The world reeled. And wept. Our hearts tried to absorb the shockwaves. To make sense of the madness. The peace of a Haitian children’s home and school shattered with cries and fire. And blood. Three beautiful servant hearts murdered . . . brutally. Judes, Davy, and Natalie joined the ranks of that grand company of martyrs in May 2024. When David and Alicia Lloyd opened a children’s home in Haiti, they had no idea how their hearts would soar, humbled by the way God was expanding and blessing the ministry. And they had no idea how much it would cost—their son, his young wife, and their dear friend. Strong to the End tells the story of Davy, Natalie, and Judes—their lives, dreams, love, faith, and deaths. It tells the story of Haiti, a beautiful land besieged by natural disasters, poverty, and gang violence. And it asks the hard questions of the Christian life. - What does it mean to count the cost before you know the price? - What are moral, ethical, and spiritual dynamics in modern missions? - When should you protect yourself and your family? - How do you love those bent on persecuting you? - Is Jesus really worth living—and dying—for? With the bodies of their loved ones in the ground, these questions were raised in their hearts. This book invites readers to weep, wrestle, rejoice . . . and draw courage from the faithful."

Authentic Masculinity: Leaving Behind the Counterfeits for God's Design

"Chivalry is not dead. Or is it? Or should it be? Do you know what it means to be a man? Our culture is confused. Sometimes the differences between men and women are overemphasized. At other times, we hear that the differences between men and women are merely social constructs. Bewildered or discouraged, you might be asking, What should I aspire to as a man? Or, even better, What does it mean to be a Christlike man? Authentic Masculinity answers our questions and gives us a biblical vision of manhood. Writing on the virtues and roles men are called to, pastor Seth Troutt divides this book into two parts: Part I The Masculine Virtues: Humility, Discipline, Responsibility, and Chivalry Part II The Masculine Roles: Son, Brother, Maker (cultivating skill for the common good), Husband, and Father (spiritual and biological) If we learn to rightly order our virtues and properly embrace our roles, we’ll walk confidently in our masculinity. In this refreshing resource, men discover the goodness of God’s design and how to walk in it. Troutt shows men how to work hard, live with sexual integrity, use their strength to bless, become disciplined, manage their money, faithfully steward their relationships, grow in humility, and raise up the next generation of Jesus followers. Authentic Masculinity is the go-to resource for men who are ready to understand and embrace their God-given masculine calling. Clearing the confusion surrounding the topic of masculinity, this is also an excellent resource for fathers and pastors who are raising young Christian men. Authentic Masculinity shares the biblical responsibility and freedom of being a man."

A Compelling Faith in a Compromising Culture

"When our faith is challenged, the best response isn’t to fall back. It’s to go deeper. We’re living in a cultural storm. Perhaps you feel it. Postmodern philosophy and secular ideologies have trickled from academia to the broader culture, eroding belief in basic Christian doctrines. Christian teachings on family and sexuality, once respected by the wider culture, are now considered suspect or even dangerous. Increasingly, the Western world finds the church unnecessary, offensive, and irrelevant. Many Christians feel disoriented and discouraged. A Compelling Faith in a Compromising Culture invites and shows us how to remain steadfast and faithful in this unique and challenging time in history. Pastor and professor Mike Tatlock explores how every aspect of our lives—our identity, appetites, behavior, and the way we relate to God and each other—must be rooted in God’s purposes. Readers reflect on topics like engaging the world without being scared, discernment over deception, contending for the faith without damaging our faith, feasting on the goodness of God, spiritual resilience, flourishing, and more. Can we live in such a way that our faith is compelling and not compromising, complacent, or combatant? We can be tempted to despair or hide, to revile instead of reveal. This book offers another option. To live a compelling faith and to offer a compelling faith. Get a glimpse of your purpose in God’s cosmic plan, redeem the time, and joyfully serve Him regardless of what is transpiring in our world. The storm is only going to grow stronger. It’s time to send our roots down deep. Tatlock shows us how to cultivate A Compelling Faith in a Compromising Culture."

Your Wilderness Is Not a Waste: God's Purpose in Suffering and Struggles

"The wilderness can be scary—a place full of peril and desolation. And it can feel meaningless. But when we read the Scriptures, the wilderness is also the place God reveals Himself and cares for the people He loves. Pastor Dustin Crowe explores the biblical theme of the wilderness, helping readers counter the harsh, seemingly hopeless seasons in their lives with hope and courage. The wilderness is often the place where God grows our faith and proves His faithfulness. But to grow, we must be intentional about listening and leaning into His provision. Looking to wilderness stories of the Bible—including Hagar, Moses, David, Elijah, and Jesus—Your Wilderness Is Not a Waste shows who God is and how He’s at work. Readers will find encouragement in His good purposes as they experience God’s sustaining and shaping grace in their lives. The wilderness has a dual nature, with both threats to our faith and opportunities to grow in faith. As we depend on God, we discover how to worship in our wilderness rather than waste it. Whether you’re in a season of significant transition, spiritual apathy, heartbreak, waiting, or a time of trial and testing, God invites you to come close—to experience His provision and power—Your Wilderness Is Not a Waste shows us how."

Whether or not we trust others, for example, depends on many factors, and they all have a history. The battle to trust or mistrust, as experienced at the personal, political and cultural levels, are revealed in this well-documented story. This book illuminates the nature of trust, a deeply abstract and critically important concept. The purpose here is to reveal to you what trust is as a psychological, political, and cultural phenomenon and how its deep roots, within each of us, guide our feelings toward how we experience it in our daily lives. What is so unique about this book? Here are five solid answers. This book: Begins by exploring the evolutionary origins of trust, its psychological and neuroscientific aspects. This is a brand new focus for a history of trust, backed up, later in the book, by deep research on how early primates dealt with conspiracies. Offers a fresh perspective of trust. It takes the development of language, from written to printed to digital, as a framework for understanding the history of the battle for trust over the ages. Offers a new analysis of trust with its various dimensions, from interpersonal, institutional, political, conspiratorial and tribal, to name a few. Deals with the scary times that come with the current issue of trust. The political climate is very uncertain.

This book provides a framework to face the challenges of gossip, misinformation and conspiracy theories squarely and directly. Explores the advent of generative AI chatbots such as ChatGPT, GPT-4o, DeepSeek and Gemini which further complicate the issue of trust, especially with the abuse of deepfakes.

The Civic Brand: The Power & Responsibility of Place

"The Civic Brand: The Power & Responsibility of Place is a bold and practical book that challenges conventional thinking about city-building, tourism, economic development, and community engagement. Author Ryan Short introduces a new framework for shaping more resilient, equitable, and loveable places that is rooted in identity, values, and a triple bottom line. Drawing from years of experience working with cities, counties, and regions across the country, Ryan Short shows how fragmented efforts, siloed departments, and surface-level branding have left communities struggling to grow with intention or preserve what makes them special. The Civic Brand reveals how place branding, when done right, isn’t just logos or slogans, but about uniting people, guiding policy, and building shared civic pride. Blending strategic insight with vivid, often entertaining stories from the field, this book brings to life the challenges and triumphs of real places navigating growth, decline, and identity. Whether facing overtourism or decline, rapid growth or disinvestment, division or disengagement, this book offers a bold path forward. It’s a call to city leaders, planners, business owners, developers, and residents alike to recognize their role in shaping place and to do so with purpose. The Civic Brand is more than a book, it’s a movement to reimagine how we care for the places we call home."
