Bloody Ties, an installment of Serenity's Plain Secrets, is a thrilling and unpredictable adventure of corruption, organized crime, and murder that will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very end. When dead mobsters start turning up in Blood Rock, Sheriff Serenity Adams joins forces with a new recruit, a US marshal, and her ex-partner to solve the cases, but can she trust any of them? Her old partner, Ryan Donavan, is not acting like himself, and Serenity fears he's keeping secrets. For all of his politeness, there's something about Officer Jerome Wilson that doesn't ring true, and Marshall Bryant always has his own agenda. Throw in the Moretti mafia family, a Mexican drug cartel, and a hillbilly moonshine making clan, and Serenity has her hands full. But just as answers come into view, the investigations expand into the Amish community. The sudden return of an ex-Amish man marks more trouble for the sheriff, and local teenagers are once again facing bad luck. As Serenity grasps at a little normalcy in her personal life, sinister forces descend on her town-and in a race against time, she must unravel the truth before she loses everyone she holds dear.

The Narrow Path: How the Subversive Way of Jesus Satisfies Our Souls

A compelling call to embrace the countercultural values of Jesus, which lead to a life of love, peace, and fulfillment, from the bestselling author of The Deeply Formed Life, winner of the Christianity Today Book Award. We live in a culture that wants it all. More is seen as better-whether it's more money, social media fame, choices, or power. For those chasing this way of life, "narrow" seems negative. Who wants to narrow their options . . . or be seen as narrow-minded? Which is why the most well-known talk in the history of the world-the Sermon on the Mount-is also the most paradoxical one. In it, Jesus holds up the narrow path as the most spacious . . . and the broader path as the more confining one. Rich Villodas, bestselling author of The Deeply Formed Life, explores what today's broad and narrow paths look like so you can discern which one you're on. The answer may surprise you-and will help you pursue the way of Jesus more deeply when it comes to loving God and others, prayer, sexual desire, conflict, money, anxiety, and more. The Narrow Path reintroduces the counterintuitive wonder of Jesus's timeless wisdom for this age, one fraught with anxiety, depression, polarizing politics, and online vitriol. The path of Jesus is most certainly narrow, but it is the only one filled with the ever-expanding life of God . . . and it is available now for all who want it!

Organic Prayer: Discover the Presence and Power of God in the Everyday

Often we view prayer as an activity reserved for a certain time, in a certain place, offered in a specific way. Scripture invites us to pray continually. This exhortation is an opportunity for prayer to permeate every aspect of our lives--when we're alone or in a crowd, when it's quiet and when it's chaotic, when we feel like it and when we don't.? Organic Prayer shows us how to make continuous prayer a natural part of our lives rather than something on a spiritual checklist. It helps us encounter God in new ways as we learn to:? - open our eyes to see his presence and the world around us? - open our ears to hear his voice guiding us? - open our hearts to experience freedom and power as we pray? - and open our lives as we pray for and with others and shine the light of Jesus in our dark world? Anyone desiring a richer, more transformative prayer life will welcome this fresh take on conversing with our Creator.? Anyone hungering to share the grace and goodness of Jesus in our hurting and confused world will find practical ideas for world-changing prayer.

Deborah: Audio Bible Studies: Discovering What God Asks You to Fight for… and Why It’s Worth It

The Book of Judges narrates one of the most chaotic and morally dark eras of Israel's story. Many speak of it as Israel's "Wild West," where the heroes and the villains stand only inches apart. Into this morally ambiguous time comes one of the most unlikely leaders of the biblical text-the prophet Deborah. She is a wife and mother in an entirely patriarchal world, yet due to her integrity and courage she transforms chaos into order and leads Israel in one of the most pivotal victories of the settlement period. Illustrating the era of the Judges by means of the archaeological record, historical geography, and the hard facts of warfare in the ancient world, this study draws students immediately into the grand tale of Deborah and Barak, Jabin and Sisera, and of course the most unlikely of leaders, Jael. This study compels the modern reader to ask and answer three critical questions: - What territory can you see from where you're standing that you know belongs to the Kingdom, but is not yet won? - Is it worth fighting for? - Are you willing to step out on faith and trust God for the victory? A bonus lecture will address the biblical theology of women in ministry and Deborah's role in that often-argued debate. The Audio Bible Studies series provides a unique audio learning experience. Unlike a traditional audiobook's direct narration of a book's text, this audio Bible study includes high-quality, live audio sessions from the author that cover important Bible-based topics. These sessions will reflect the ambiance of the unique recording locations, immersing the listener into the teaching. While not required for the audio experience, these studies are designed to partner with the coordinating study guide, sold separately.

Matters of the Heart

He's the community's jokester auctioneer. She's the serious caregiver for her siblings who also works at the local plant nursery. What future could they have together? Declan Miller has always had feelings for Bethel King. Back when they were in school, she was the smartest girl in the class and, in his opinion, by far the prettiest. Now the two of them are in their twenties and while the attraction is still there, Declan is as hesitant as ever to let Bethel know how he feels. His corny jokes and wisecracks cover a heart that's afraid of rejection. Bethel can't deny Declan is nice, funny, hardworking, and pleasing to the eye--a perfect match if you asked any Plain girl in the area. But marrying Bethel would also mean marrying into her family. Two of her younger brothers have a rare form of muscular dystrophy, and her sister Claire is now showing signs of having it as well. Fiercely loyal and nurturing, Bethel has promised herself her siblings will always come first. With a good chance that she carries the gene and could pass it on to her children, Bethel has tried to convince herself marriage and family just aren't in the cards for her. When a devastating diagnosis of his own turns Declan's world upside down, he looks to Bethel for understanding, compassion, and a realistic outlook. As they share their dreams and fears and grow together in faith, a bond begins to develop between them. Perhaps their combination of optimistic extrovert and thoughtful introvert really isn't such a bad thing--perhaps it's actually a part of God's beautiful design.

Now and Not Yet: Audio Bible Studies: Pressing In When You're Waiting, Wanting, and Restless for Mor

If you've ever waited on the Lord for something-direction, answers, resolution, strength-you know how challenging it can be. Even when we fully believe that God sees and hears our requests, if we're honest, we sometimes view waiting as wasted time. But, what if it's not? What if waiting is the means God uses to make us more like Christ? What if there are some pieces of God's character that we'll only learn while we wait? If that's true… how do we lean in? What lessons do these seasons hold? How do we keep hoping and believing what we know to be true? In this six-week study, you'll explore five biblical narratives that put God's faithfulness to waiting people on display and help you direct your gaze from the answers you're seeking to the God who meets you while you wait. The Audio Bible Studies series provides a unique audio learning experience. Unlike a traditional audiobook's direct narration of a book's text, this audio Bible study includes high-quality, live audio sessions from the author that cover important Bible-based topics.

Shepherds for Sale: Why Church Leaders Traded the Truth for a Leftist Agenda

“This may just be the single most important book on modern Evangelicalism in the recent years. It is bold, clear, and very well-researched.”—John MacArthur In this rigorously reported exposé, a writer for the Daily Wire exposes the outside forces, including progressive secular billionaires, trying to influence Christian churches across America. Many American Christians are struggling to find places of worship which reflect their core conservative beliefs. Today, many Evangelical leaders are pushing their members to “whisper” about sexual sins, reconsider abortion, lament the effects of climate change, and repent of “perpetuating systemic racism.” Meanwhile, America’s largest Evangelical denominations are fraught with division over issues like critical race theory, and many ministries are now promoting social justice rather than Scripture. Liberal theology isn’t new. Pastors and theologians have drifted, slipped, or even plunged into doctrinal error since the days of the New Testament. But in recent decades, Daily Wire reporter Megan Basham reveals, well-funded forces from outside the church have been secretly sowing seeds of discord, much like the Soviets once did. Based on years of investigation, Shepherds for Sale documents how progressive powerbrokers—from George Soros and the founder of eBay to former members of the Obama administration—set out to transform American Christians. Basham accuses secular foundations and think tanks of deliberately targeting Christian media, universities, megachurches, nonprofits, and entire denominations, not to mention high-profile pastors and influencers. In exchange, many of those church leaders and institutions have received cash, career jumps, prestige, and praise. She has uncovered corruption and compromise at the highest levels of Evangelical leadership, follows the money, names names, and offers proof of her findings. Shepherds for Sale is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand the tensions in modern Evangelicalism and the secular forces buffeting today’s believers.
