Forging the American Mind: A Year-by-Year Guide for Classical Christian Education

"In this follow-up to Battle for the American Mind, David Goodwin lays out the principles for providing a classical Christian education for children, K-12. American parents have been desperate for an alternative to our broken, woke school system. Inspired by the insights of Battle for the American Mind, many gratefully embraced Classical Christian Education as an alternative—a deep tradition grounded in a biblical worldview. Instead of creating soulless careerists or woke activists, the lost tradition of CCE teaches children to care more about virtue and wisdom rather than conforming to a corrupt culture. New schools are popping up around the country. However, parents and educators need a roadmap for incorporating CCE into kids’ lives. This is that map. David Goodwin has taught classical Christian education for decades. In Forging the American Mind, he lays out practices, recommendations, and stories filled with simple, hard-won advice on how to parent and teach kids with wisdom, love, and ambition. How do you teach language? How do you teach Plato? What’s the best way to teach Christian history? How do you balance students’ individuality with respect for community? Goodwin offers answers to these questions and many more, and gives parents year-by-year plans, starting with the rambunctious elementary school years, through middle and high school, and concludes with an ambitious path to adulthood for teens. Forging the American Mind is a revolutionary road map for transforming education. This book gives devout parents and teachers the concrete information and inspiration they need to build a new and better way of learning for all American children."

Do the True You: Stop Faking It for Others and Find Out Who God Says You Are

"The New York Times bestseller Do the New You has netted over 105,000 copies since its release in February 2024, and it has continued to sell steadily. While the book is easy to read and accessible to younger audiences, it's written with an adult reader in mind, and the stories and examples through the book talk about things like marriage, investing, and career-topics that don't necessarily resonate with younger readers. Elevation Church-both the physical locations and its online presence-skews young, and has a big following among junior high and high school students. To better reach this audience, Pastor Furtick is partnering with his three teenage children to create a teen edition of the book. The six mindsets that are the core of the book remain the same, but the content is being refreshed with new examples, language, and themes to align with the interest of teen readers. This new edition will be supported by Elevation Church and will broaden its reach and expand its readership."

Wonder: 52 Conversations to Help Kids Fall in Love With Scripture

"A Grown-Up's Guide to Exploring the Bible With Children Parents and caregivers who want to raise kids in the faith often feel ill-equipped, especially when it comes to talking about the Bible. How do they tell the stories in ways their kids can understand? What do they do with the questions (so many questions!) their kids will ask? And how do they make it something their kids actually want to do? Wonder addresses these pain points by combining creative Bible storytelling for kids, fun and engaging conversation prompts for families, and key contextual information for adults. Instead of simply presenting Bible stories, as a children's Bible would, this book actually equips grownups to talk about the stories with children. Each story is accompanied by historical, literary, and cultural background to help parents understand the original form, audience, and intention for the story. Meredith frames each story to help grown-ups talk with kids about how the story's original audience would have understood it, so kids can understand the life-giving story the Bible invites us all into. The book is organized into 52 stories for parents to work through with their children, and it can be used as a family devotional, but it can also simply be used as a reference book. Meredith shares language to equip parents to talk about what to say when God doesn't seem to make sense. This is a long-awaited guide for helping kids fall in love with scripture."

Demolishing Doubt: Audio Bible Studies: Discover How Your Deepest Questions Can Lead to Life-Giving

"In our world today, faith and reason are often seen as opposing forces. We are told that belief in God is unreasonable and there is not plausible explanation of his existence. We are told the Gospels are just ancient myths from centuries past and that it's unreasonable to believe they could be trustworthy sources that accurately depict Jesus and his life. We are also told it is unreasonable to believe that the radical claims that Jesus made about himself-especially that he is divine-could possibly be true. In Demolishing Doubt, evangelist and pastor Cliffe Knechtle, along with his son and fellow pastor Stuart Knechtle, invite you to embark on a transformative journey that will bridge the gap between skepticism and belief-revealing, in the process, that faith and reason do not have to be opposing forces. The Knechtles present the compelling case for the existence of God and the trustworthiness of Jesus Christ, providing the rigorous logic and profound spiritual insights that have made the pair YouTube sensations and the most popular evangelists of the TikTok generation. In this rational exploration of the Christian faith, the Knechtles explore such topics as: - The arguments for God's existence: How the universe's existence, its intricate design, and the presence of moral values point toward a transcendent Creator. - The reliability of the Gospels: How the consistency, style, archaeological, and manuscript evidence of the New Testament points to its reliability-and how archaeological findings and external historical sources buttress the case for the reliability of the Gospel narratives - The claims Jesus made about himself: How the evidence of Jesus' miracles and moral teachings and the transformative impact his resurrection had on his followers culminates in a powerful case for Jesus being an ethical genius and the divine Son of God - The importance of faith: Why faith is not in conflict with reason but is actually essential for a complete understanding of the truth-and why skepticism can actually be healthy. - The response of our lives: How the impact Jesus' teachings have on our consciences-along with the lifestyle benefits we received of forgiveness, happiness, gratitude, perseverance, and self-control when we choose to follow those teachings-points to the truth of the Gospel Demolishing Doubt is an invitation to explore the big questions of life with a reasoned and open heart. Whether you are seeking answers, yearning for truth, or looking to deepen your faith, this study will provide a robust and thoughtful exploration of the intersection of faith and reason. Sessions include: - What Is the Evidence for God? - Are the Gospels Historically Reliable? - Did Jesus Actually Never Sin? - Is the Evidence About Jesus Trustworthy? - Why Is Faith Important?

The King Is Coming: Audio Bible Studies: It's Time to Prepare for the Return of Christ

"Those who walk with Jesus know he promised to one day return to this earth and establish his rule and reign over all things. He even instructed us to look for certain 'signs' that would indicate his return was imminent. In fact, the Bible contains more than 2,400 references foretelling this great event! While Jesus said, 'about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father' (Matthew 24:26), he was clear that his followers should be watching and waiting for his second coming. How is this done? By continually abiding in the presence of God. The Audio Bible Studies series provides a unique audio learning experience.

Fully Beloved: Meeting God in Our Heartaches and Our Hopes

"Author and pastor Timothy Jones brings into sharp focus one of the most pressing questions of our lives: Am I loved? He offers readers an authentic, intimate, and spiritually nourishing exploration of how God's nature of love really impacts our lives, unlocking our deep healing, our connection with others, and our passion for life. Is God 'ghosting' us? Whether in silence, busyness, or middle-of-the-night wonderings, many Christians know a lonely restlessness, a longing for richer communion with God. The search itself can feel exhausting. What does it even mean to love God? To know God's love? In Fully Beloved, seasoned pastor and beloved spiritual writer Timothy Jones eloquently explores how answering the question, 'Am I loved?' is both a lifetime's work and every moment's challenge. Through decades of pastoring and praying, grieving and wrestling, he finally realized that love is the startling invitation of the Trinity and the extravagant answer to the most pressing questions of his own life. Weaving together personal story, biblical insight, and the writings of spiritual mentors such as St. Augustine, Julian of Norwich, and Emily Dickinson, Jones calls us to experience - God's personal invitation for us to know true love in a hurting world, - a richer faith as we see how the Trinity clarifies rather than complicates who God is, - an understanding of how intimacy and brokenness intertwine, - greater passion for ancient Christian practices, and - renewed awareness of how God not only heals our pain but redeems it. Fully Beloved is a beautifully evocative, pastoral look at our soul's sacred thirst, leading us to a truth so full that it reaches deep into our heart's losses and transforms them--into a stubborn, breathless, abundant joy that knows what it means to be fully beloved."

Nero and Paul: How the Gospel of Grace Defeated the Ruler of Rome

"Does gaining power, possessions, and popularity lead to happiness and fulfillment? Or does inner transformation and self-sacrificial love bring the most joy and satisfaction? New York Times bestselling author Kathie Lee Gifford and scholar Bryan Litfin dive into these questions by bringing the stories of Nero and Paul to life in this creative nonfiction tale and identifying how these moral questions can be applied to modern Christian life. Centuries ago, against the backdrop of Roman domination and decadence, a rabbi-turned-evangelist challenged the ideology of an immoral emperor. Two competing messages clashed-and they were messages that echo into our modern world. One voice says, Do what feels good. Gain more influence. Focus on yourself and build your own kingdom. Another says, Live for something beyond yourself-something eternal. Carry out your God-given mission, no matter the cost. Follow your King to the end of the world if you must . Only then will you truly live. Combining historical accuracy with narrative imagination, Nero and Paul drops you into the drama of human pride and divine destiny that unfolded on the stage of imperial Rome. You'll travel with Paul as he ventured from Jerusalem all the way to Spain, making friends, winning converts, and persisting through grueling opposition. You'll see up close Nero's kingdom of wealth, glamour, sex, and power-the proud trappings of a self-proclaimed god. In contrast, Paul boldly offered what the world desperately needed: the Messiah's life-giving good news of God's presence indwelling his people. Though this epic clash of worldviews led to bloodshed and death, the crown of eternal life triumphed over the laurel wreaths of Rome-just as the light of Jesus triumphs over the darkness of the world in every age. Don't miss this ancient story with a timeless message that reverberates across the centuries and will light the fire of your faith today."

Drawing from the story of Joseph, rediscover how God can lift you from your pit to fulfill a glorious purpose, convert your struggles into strength, and lead you through perceived detours the destiny He planned all along. Could it be that God has an ultimate purpose for our trials and hardships? Could it be that we, like Joseph, are in the process of becoming a reflection of Jesus?

Drawing profound lessons from the biblical story of Joseph, Anne Graham Lotz and Rachel-Ruth Lotz Wright weave together Scripture, personal testimonies of hardship, and the unwavering hope found in God's promises. Anne's life was suddenly changed by the tragic death of her husband of forty-nine years, then followed three years later by a totally unexpected cancer diagnosis. Rachel-Ruth's life was forever changed by two back-to-back rare SCAD heart-attacks. These events occurred when both Anne and Rachel-Ruth were faithfully serving their heavenly Father and seeking to make Him known through lives of service to Him. Through it all, they learned these valuable lessons about God: - We can trust His placement. - We can trust His promises. - We can trust His path. - We can trust His plan. If you find yourself on a path of suffering that is made even more painful because you feel you've done nothing wrong and struggle with injustice, look in the shadows. Jesus has been there; He is there with you. He is not surprised or frightened as He grips your hand to lead you forward. No matter how desperate we find ourselves in this broken world, we can rest in the God who is trustworthy, knowing He won't leave us there!"

The King Is Coming: It's Time to Prepare for the Return of Christ

"Bestselling author John Bevere challenges Christians to take a fresh and honest look at one of the most often misunderstood and avoided truths of the Christian faith-the second coming of Jesus. Through personal testimony, biblical accuracy, and practical guidance, readers will be inspired to live a life of spiritual vigilance as they prepare for the glorious return of our King. If Jesus were to return tomorrow, would you be ready? In The King Is Coming, John Bevere discusses why the Second Coming is both relevant and critical for the Christian faith. Other than salvation, it's the second most discussed topic both in the New Testament and by early church fathers in the first three centuries. More than a book about prophecy, this life-changing guide will help believers live fully prepared for Christ's return while transforming the way we love, serve, and glorify God. Bevere recounts his personal shift from avoiding eschatology to fully recognizing its significance. Witnessing the misuse and division caused by End Time teachings initially led him away from the topic, but through the Holy Spirit's guidance and a deeper study of Scripture, Bevere's heart and life were transformed. Through extensive references to prophetic Scriptures, the book explores many of the over three-hundred New Testament mentions of Jesus' return, providing a foundation that will help readers: - Live in awe of the Creator of the universe who holds time in His hands. - Grow in holiness, compassion, purpose, and gain a closer relationship with God. - Live with an eternal outlook, inspiring a sense of hope, urgency, and mission. - Avoid division by focusing on the transformative power of our reigning King. - Discover an eschatology that replaces fear and alarmism with true hope. Through personal testimonies and a close examination of Scripture, John offers readers spiritual truths, insight, encouragement, and practical steps to develop a readiness shaped by faith and obedience. And as with The Awe of God, each chapter will close with his 5 P's: Passage, Point, Ponder, Prayer, and Profession. The King Is Coming is both a wake-up call, faith builder, and a source of hope for Christian men and women seeking to deepen their relationship with Christ and prepare for His glorious return."
