Not My Circus: Living with Courage, Conviction, and Compassion in a World of Chaos

"In a culture that touts tolerance but cancels for anything less than conformity, New York Times bestselling author Mark Batterson shows us how to rise above the shaming and blaming with holy courage, spiritual discernment, and amazing grace. The world has changed faster in the last twenty years than in the previous two hundred. Social media, AI, and endless outrage have reshaped how we relate to one another. The cultural pressure is unmistakable: conform or be shamed. The call to nonconformity is choosing faith over fear, truth over trends, and compassion over cancelling. It's rejecting popular opinion, peer pressure, and political correctness when those are at odds with will of God. The fear of man is epidemic, but there is a cure-the fear of God that sets us free from every other fear. Exhausted by a culture that demands we fight every battle and weigh in on every issue? Not My Circus is Mark Batterson's rallying cry against the status quo. Drawing on Romans 12:2-'Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed'-Mark reveals how to resist cultural pressure without retreating from cultural engagement. You'll learn how to cultivate a non-anxious presence by developing: - Holy Courage - boldness to stand firm in your convictions without being controlled by others' opinions - Spiritual Discernment - the sense to know which battles are yours to fight and which ones aren't - Amazing Grace - the ability to engage those you disagree with without absorbing their anxiety or abandoning your witness For anyone ready to stop reflecting culture and instead transform it, Not My Circus offers a roadmap to escape the cult of conformity and live for the applause of nail-scarred hands."

Stories I Love To Tell: that give us hope, help us do hard things, & bring us back together again

"Dick Foth can’t stop telling stories. He's been making sense of life through story since he first realized words could become sentences. Now, after eight decades, friends have finally convinced Foth to record the stories he loves to tell in the way he loves to tell them: to a live audience. Stories I Love to Tell became a reality one evening at the Capital Turnaround in Washington, D.C.—a setting for some of Foth’s greatest adventures. And now you are invited into the audience, to find reasons for hope, courage to face hard things, and stories that bring us back together. Our brains are wired for and by story. Memories live in stories; relationships flourish there; identity is shaped there. Values ripen, and belonging is found across generations—around campfires and dinner tables—when moments turn into stories.Why listen to someone else’s stories? If it’s true that every human being somehow reflects God—and Foth believes it is—then maybe stories are the mirrors between every family, tribe, and person on planet Earth. In other words, it’s our stories that give our relationships a chance.Foth especially loves childhood stories, “because when I tell a story from my childhood, it reveals who I am. It is the lens through which I see my world.” As you listen to Stories I Love to Tell, you will see your own world more clearly. You will find yourself thinking, dreaming, and even feeling like a child again. There will be greater heroes to follow, deeper joys to discover, and even more of yourself to see. Foth’s low, kind, and rumbling voice constantly reminds us of the people who care for us, cheer us on, and—almost without our knowing it—become the heroes of the stories we, too, will love to tell. Enjoy!"

A Million Little Miracles: Rediscover the God Who Is Bigger Than Big, Closer Than Close, and Gooder Than Good

"The New York Times bestselling author of Win the Day reminds us of the millions of miracles God performs every day and inspires us to live with a clearer sense of identity and purpose. Think you've never experienced a miracle? With all due respect, you have never not. In fact, you are one! There never has been-and there never will be-anyone else like you. That isn't a testament to you. It's a testament to the God who created you. Your fingerprint, eyeprint, and voiceprint are unlike anyone else's. Simply put, you matter to God. Most of us take everyday miracles for granted, including the one that stares back at us in the mirror. It's time to take them for gratitude. Why is that so important? Because whatever you don't turn into praise turns into pride. The miracle of life becomes mundane. We get so wrapped up in our own little world, we end up worshipping a god who looks like us, acts like us, and thinks like us. It's no wonder we've lost our wonder. But there is a way to recapture holy curiosity! In A Million Little Miracles, New York Times bestselling author Mark Batterson reveals three miraculous truths that awaken us to the Creator and His creation: 1. God is bigger than we think-we can rest in His wisdom and strength 2. God is closer than we realize-we never have to do life alone 3. God is better than we imagine-we can reclaim childlike wonder A million little miracles are waiting to be discovered, including the miracle called you."
