Art Of Overcoming
$18.99
If you or someone you love is walking through a season of loss, disappointment, pain, or other difficulties, The Art of Overcoming will teach you how to grieve what has died within you and celebrate the new life set before you by the God who brings good from evil, light from dark, and life from death.
Pastor Tim Timberlake uses the imagery of a traditional funeral ceremony as a framework to look at the death experiences we face regularly in this crazy journey called life. These experiences include all the grief, disappointment, tragedy, loss, pain, suffering, abuse, or sorrow that comes our way.
Death is not the end, although it often feels like it is in the moment. Instead, it is a season to reflect, to honor, and to grow. It is the end of one chapter but the beginning of a new one. The new doesn’t diminish the old and looking toward the future doesn’t mean we forget the past. Instead, we must learn to hold loss and hope at the same time.
The chapters are divided into four sections that represent specific stages of dealing with our death experiences.
*Living with Death explores five foundational perspectives about grief and loss
*The Processional encourages us to face head-on the reality of our experiences
*The Eulogy helps us memorialize and honor what has been lost and how to process grief in a healthy way
*The Recessional is about closure as we discover life after death and move forward
No matter what you’ve gone through or are in the middle of right now, better days are ahead. But don’t hurry to get there. Instead, let Jesus heal your heart in His timing, take time to grieve what needs to be grieved, and then celebrate the new life God lays out before you.

Women Of The Bible Speak
$25.99Add to cartThe women of the Bible lived timeless stories–by examining them, we can understand what it means to be a woman of faith.
People unfamiliar with Scripture often assume that women play a small, secondary role in the Bible. But in fact, they were central figures in numerous Biblical tales. It was Queen Esther’s bravery at a vital point in history which saved her entire people. The Bible contains warriors like Jael, judges like Deborah, and prophets like Miriam. The first person to witness Jesus’ resurrection was Mary Magdalene, who promptly became the first Christian evangelist, eager to share the news which would change the world forever.
In The Women of the Bible Speak, Fox News Channel’s Shannon Bream opens up the lives of sixteen of these Biblical women, arranging them into pairs and contrasting their journeys. In pairing their stories, Shannon helps us reflect not only on the meaning of each individual’s life, but on how they relate to each other and to us.
From the shepherdesses of ancient Israel who helped raise the future leaders of the people of God, to the courageous early Christians, the narrative of the Bible offers us many vivid and fascinating female characters. In their lives we can see common struggles to resist bitterness, despair, and pride, and to instead find their true selves in faith, hope, and love. In studying these heroes of the faith, we can find wisdom and warnings for how to better navigate our own faith journeys.
The Women of the Bible Speak outlines the lessons we can take from the valor of Esther, the hope of Hannah, the audacity of Rahab, and the faith of Mary. In broadening each woman’s individual story, Shannon offers us a deeper understanding of each, and wisdom and insights that can transform our own lives today.

Life Lessons From Galatians
$12.99Add to cartWhose approval do you hope to win? Friends? Co-workers? Someone in your family? What about God? Do you sometimes wonder if you need to do more to earn his approval? Religious teachers in the early church were insisting that faith was not enough, that being right with God required something more. Early Christians were almost ready to accept and follow these extra requirements. This disturbed the apostle Paul. So he reminded the believers that salvation isn’t based on following a religious code. Nor is it based on what we do (or don’t do) or what we know or feel. Nothing is required on our part, except to believe. In showing us the profound difference between living by law and living by grace, he reminds us that we are indeed free in Christ.
The Life Lessons with Max Lucado series brings the Bible to life in twelve lessons filled with intriguing questions, inspirational stories, and poignant reflections to take you deeper into God’s Word. Each lesson in this updated edition of the bestselling series includes an opening reflection, a description of the context in which the passage was written, an excerpt of the text (from the New International and New King James versions), exploration and reflection questions on the passage, inspirational thoughts on the theme from Max Lucado, and a closing Life Lessons takeaway and personal devotion.
The Life Lessons with Max Lucado series is ideal for use in both a small-group setting or for individual study.
