"Find God's peace in today's anxious world with this year-long journey through the Bible.
Today's teenagers are all too familiar with fear, anxiety, polarization, and performance pressure. The demands of an increasingly virtual world coupled with the instability of a culture of outrage and angst has left our teens anxious and vulnerable.
Crafted with this reality in mind, God With You is a 52-week chronological exploration of God's story in Scripture. Teenagers will experience Jesus as the lifter of their burdens and the source of their rest and hope.
Each of the fifty-five contributors is a youth minister, teacher, or parent skilled in communicating the gospel to teenagers. Daily entries are filled with warmth and reassurance--as if the writer is talking with a teenager about the Bible over coffee or pizza.
Included in each of the 260 entries are:
- Bible Learning: discover the redemptive narrative of the Bible and how the day's passages proclaim God's gracious character and point to Jesus.
- Gospel Application for Today: helps teenage readers discover how the biblical story applies to their lives, today. Each entry demonstrates how knowing Jesus helps teenagers deal with their burdens of identity-seeking, anxiety and depression, relational strife, injustice, and more from diverse perspectives.
- Deep Reassurance: focuses on the goodness of God and his forgiveness through the work of Christ, instead of dwelling on moral failures and spiritual to-do lists.
To see Jesus in the pages of Scripture is to know him; to know him is to love him. The God With You devotional encourages teenagers to place their hope in the steadfast love and trustworthy character of Jesus, our Immanuel, God-with-us.

"Walking... Walking... Must keep walking...
When Roger Brenner leaves the house because he has the urge to take a walk, no one, not even him, realizes he is about to change the world as we know it.
Roger's sudden desire quickly turns into something more as both his mind and body begin to change. He is consumed by his need to keep walking, and soon he is leaving the small town of Rocky Point behind. By the time his family realizes he's gone, he's miles away and entering an altered state of consciousness.
As the days go by and Roger continues his unnatural journey, his body begins to deteriorate. He also attracts followers, all of them murmuring the same chilling words. The growing horde travels down the East Coast, growing in size every day.
In less than a week, the phenomenon spreads across the world, causing religious and political upheaval. The governments fear it's a disease. Religious leaders claim it's a sign of the apocalypse. And scientists say it's nature correcting overpopulation.
The same questions plague all of them:
When will it end?
And what happens next?
The world is about to find out."

A vital exposé for both our history and our present day, American Scare tells the riveting story of how the Florida government destroyed the lives of Black and queer citizens in the twentieth century.
In January 1959, Art Copleston was escorted out of his college accounting class by three police officers. In a motel room, blinds drawn, he sat in front of a state senator and the legal counsel for the Florida Legislative Investigation Committee, nicknamed the "Johns Committee." His crime? Being a suspected homosexual. And the government of Florida would use any tactic at their disposal-legal or not-to get Copleston to admit it.
Using a secret trove of primary source documents that have been decoded and de-censored for the first time in history, journalist Robert Fieseler unravels the mystery of what actually happened behind the closed doors of an inquisition that held ordinary citizens ransom to its extraordinary powers.
The state of Florida would prefer that this history remain buried. But for nearly a decade, the Florida Legislature founded, funded, and supported the Johns Committee-an organization using the cover of communism to viciously attack members of the NAACP and queer professors and students. Spearheaded by Charley Johns, a multi-term politician in a gerrymandered legislature, the Committee was determined to eliminate any threats to the state's white, conservative regime.
Fieseler describes the heartbreaking ramifications for citizens of Florida whose lives were imperiled, profiling marginalized residents with compassion and a determination to bring their devasting experiences to light at last. A propulsive, human-centered drama, with fascinating insight into Florida politics, American Scare is a page-turning reckoning of our racist and homophobic past-and its chilling parallels to today."
"Sometimes the answers we are looking for are hidden in our own stories.
The night before the dance performance that could determine Gracie Wilder’s career, her father unexpectedly dies, leaving behind a curious gift with ties to a myth told to her as a child. Desperate to understand her father’s unspoken words, she puts her greatest dream on the line for an opportunity to remember the childhood she tried so hard to forget.
A few chance encounters with Beau Griffin, a bighearted building contractor, pull Gracie closer to her past. Griffin is no stranger to grief. Most recently, he has been held responsible for the demise of a Chicago building that harbors the cornerstones of his own history. In a moment of faith or folly, the unlikely pair follow the origin of Gracie’s childhood memories to Old Montreal. There, they discover family secrets that will challenge the narratives that have defined Gracie’s life. And Griffin will have to confront his own personal myths if he is to build room for Gracie in his future. Together, they must heal their history backward in order to move forward.
Poignant and uplifting, Threads of Us explores the self-discovery that comes to us not despite our hardships but because of them and the mysterious connections that help us recreate ourselves."

"A life-affirming book for every employee who feels stuck, The Quitter’s Manifesto is an inspiring guide to leaving a job that doesn’t fulfill you in order to find work that does.
Quitting a job with a steady paycheck and benefits is tough—you have to write a letter of resignation, find new work or start a business, and dust off the resume. Still, if this was all that was stopping you from making the leap, you probably would have leapt long ago.
Though quitting is about action, it’s far more about why you aren’t taking action. If you’ve felt trapped in your job but can’t quite seem to take the next step, this book will give you the game plan you need to deal with uncertainty. The Quitter’s Manifesto was written by two successful Quitters and features the inspiring stories of many more, and they will help you create a plan that will make leaving a job seem less daunting.
You’ll learn strategies to:
- Find the root cause of why you’re stuck and what to do about it
- Develop a safer, more gradual approach to transitioning to work that matters
- Build a team to help you find opportunities and navigate difficulties
- Dialin your financial situation to make quitting less risky
- Failure-proof your mind for the ups and downs of change
- Easy to read, simple to follow, The Quitter’s Manifesto is a call to freedom for anyone who’s waited too long to make a change. The work you love is out there—and your new job is not to give up on yourself."
"Your seven-figure real estate agent income is six simple steps away.
It’s difficult to build a real estate business, and it’s even more difficult not to lose yourself in the daily grind. 6 Steps to 7 Figures contains all the tactics that the best real estate agents use to promote their businesses, become financially free, and pursue the lives of their dreams.
Pat Hiban is one of the only residential real estate agents to hold the title Billion-Dollar Agent—having sold more than 4,000 homes with a billion dollars in volume—and he compiled two decades of invaluable experience into this manual. A combination of motivational success strategies and practical tips for flourishing in real estate, this completely expanded and revised edition also contains two new chapters on what the author learned from giving up the workaholic lifestyle.
In this book, you'll learn how Pat:
- Raised his average sales price from $92,000 to more than $450,000 with four simple steps
- Transformed $13,000 in annual commissions to more than $5 million annually
- Went from zero foreclosure listings to over 325 in two years
- Got his team revved up by humiliating himself on YouTube
- Landed more customers by dressing up as Dracula
- Learned some of his best tactics through “authorized stealing” from his competitors
- Shifted from being a raging workaholic to taking 153 days off each year"
"A ground-breaking, personal exploration of America’s obsession with continuing human bondage from the editor of the New York Times–bestselling Barracoon.
Freedom and equality are the watchwords of American democracy. But like justice, freedom and equality are meaningless when there is no corresponding practical application of the ideals they represent. Physical, bodily liberty is fundamental to every American’s personal sovereignty. And yet, millions of Americans—including author Deborah Plant’s brother, whose life sentence at Angola Prison reveals a shocking current parallel to her academic work on the history of slavery in America—are deprived of these basic freedoms every day.
In her studies of Zora Neale Hurston, Deborah Plant became fascinated by Hurston’s explanation for the atrocities of the international slave trade. In her memoir, Dust Tracks on a Road, Hurston wrote: “But the inescapable fact that stuck in my craw, was: my people had sold me and the white people had bought me. . . . It impressed upon me the universal nature of greed and glory.” We look the other way when the basic human rights of marginalized and stigmatized groups are violated and desecrated, not realizing that only the practice of justice everywhere secures justice, for any of us, anywhere.
An active vigilance is required of those who would be and remain free; with Of Greed and Glory, Deborah Plant reveals the many ways in which slavery continues in America today and charts our collective course toward personal sovereignty for all.
