A Traveler’s Guide Through the End of This Age
Are we living in the end times? If so, what does that mean for me? Max Lucado's optimistic, accessible, and non-sensational guide to what the Bible says about heaven's timeline will empower readers to face the future with faith.
Seven years of chaos called the Tribulation. A cruel and cunning Antichrist. The dreaded battle of Armageddon. These images and ideas associated with prophecy can be stimulating but also unnecessarily scary. Max Lucado believes God wants us to be prepared, not scared. In his first book exploring the end of this age, Max provides a wise, well-researched, and reassuring overview of what God's Word has to say on a topic that often creates confusion and anxiety.
In What Happens Next, Max explores four big ideas that will provide a solid foundation for understanding God's plans and will remind us that we are headed to a far better place than where we started. He explains that
• we were made to reign with Christ;
• God has made and will keep his promises;
• heaven has a timeline; and
• a golden era, the millennium, awaits God's children.
In a world filled with political tension, personal trials, and international turbulence, we find ourselves drawn to exploring what happens next on heaven's timeline. Whether readers find themselves in the "I can't wait," "I'm almost ready," or "I'm not sure about all of this" camp, they will be encouraged to ponder God's plans and promises for the future. In Max's signature encouraging style, he reminds us, "It's all about hope. It's all about Him."

Leading Our Churches Back to God’s Original Blueprint
In The House That Jesus Built, bestselling author Natalie Runion gives insight and encouragement to all the “stayers” who want to be part of rebuilding their local churches, brick by brick. From the bestselling author of Raised to Stay comes a hope-filled, practical path forward for churches to rebuild from the rubble of faith deconstruction and the devastation of spiritual abuse so they can become the world-changing family of God again.
Natalie Runion explains that God’s Word provides a beautiful design for a holy, healthy, and safe church. She points readers back to the church’s foundation, floor plan, and framework provided in scripture. For churches that have survived the recent “great resignation” of church leadership and “quiet quitting” of church membership, Runion’s instructive new book provides much-needed encouragement alongside a fresh vision for ministry.

Moving Forward When You’re Skeptical of Others, Afraid What God Will Allow, and Doubtful of Your Own Discernment
New York Times bestselling author Lysa TerKeurst shows you what to do with your skepticism and distrust so you can heal from past betrayals and move forward with strength and resilience.
Trust is the oxygen of all human relationships. But it's also what trips you up after you've been burned. Maybe a friend constantly lets you down. A leader or organization you respect turns out to be different than they portray themselves to be. A spouse cheats on you. A family member betrays you. You're exhausted by other people's choices and starting to question your own discernment. And you're wondering, If God let this happen, can he even be trusted?
In a world where so many things feel alarming, this book will give you a peace that isn't dependent on unpredictable people, circumstances, and experiences. Instead, it offers practical and biblical ways to make real progress toward healthier perspectives, relationships, and a future you can authentically look forward to.

A True Story of Hope, Forgiveness, and Finding Purpose in Pain
Nothing Is Wasted is a story for anyone who has encountered trauma, tragedy, or a major transition and wondered, How do I begin to move forward through what I've experienced?
Where is God in the midst of your greatest pain?
Davey Blackburn wrestled with that age-old question in the aftermath of the murder of his beloved wife, Amanda, and their unborn daughter. As the high-profile case slowly meandered its way toward legal justice, Davey embarked on the wrenching task of finding strength to restore his shattered soul and the broken pieces of his life.
At turns horrific yet hope-filled, heartbreaking yet faith-affirming, Nothing Is Wasted is Blackburn’s disarmingly raw account not only of the shocking tragedy that forever changed his life but of his late wife’s inspiring trust in the God who welcomed her into His loving arms.
The trauma he endured could have made anyone try to escape from the agony, yet by grace Blackburn chose to face the pain head-on and cling to his Savior to guide him through the storm.

Receive God’s Realistic Rest for Your Soul-Deep Exhaustion
Reject the Lie That a Full Schedule Equals a Full Life and Create Space for What Actually Matters
If you're a woman, chances are you know the cycle: You start the day already exhausted and end it defeated, all the while telling yourself things will get better if you can just power through this week. But then the weeks turn into months, and you start to believe you'll never be able to stop, slow down, or catch your breath. You wouldn't even know how if you tried. And yet God has made you for a life of abundance, not a life of exhaustion. It's time to quit the unsustainable pace and receive God's gift of realistic rest.

Discovering the Powerful Connections of Meaningful Mealtimes
Restore the Table shows readers the importance of meaningful mealtimes and how gathering around a table with those we love can help build relationships, improve our quality of life, and go deeper in our walk with God.
When is the last time you gathered around the dinner table with those you loved without distractions, having meaningful and intentional conversation? If you can’t remember, you’re not alone. Americans have lost the art of gathering around the table.
Busy schedules, digital distractions, and loneliness plague us, making gathering around the table for a meal feel like something from the distant past. This is why Pastor Ryan Rush posed a challenge to his congregation: have five meaningful mealtimes with those you love each week.
The challenge took off and what happened was transformative. Marriages were strengthened, siblings got along better, people who had struggled with addictions began to face them, students’ grades improved.
The table changed everything.

Finding True Security, Strength, and Confidence Through Humility
The peace we long for begins with coming to the end of ourselves.
There are inescapable aspects of life we are all marked by. We have less control than we want, more anxiety than we're comfortable with and just enough insecurity to continually remind us of our shortcomings. To experience these things is to be human. We aren't superheroes and invincibility isn't an option.
But humility is.
Whether we've incorrectly defined it or underestimated its relevance to our daily life, humility is the missing piece for the security, strength and confidence we all want. It's time to stop trying so hard to avoid our limitations or overcompensate for them. God has better for us and it begins with bowing low in humility.

Finding Beauty in Your Boundaries
Are you feeling stretched to your limits and wish those limits weren't there at all? Bestselling author Sara Hagerty asks: "What if your greatest weaknesses--the areas of your life you resent the most, the places where you feel the most overextended and unfulfilled--are your doorway to rich intimacy with God? What if your limitations were, in fact, your greatest gift?"
As a writer, speaker, and mother of seven, Sara Hagerty knows what limitations feel like. Yet she has also seen how the boundaries of our life circumstances can bring about growth and satisfaction we'd never experience otherwise.
In The Gift of Limitations, you will learn to see the beauty and peace God provides in the midst of our life circumstances--and the deep spiritual growth we can experience through the limitations that we once thought held us back.

Jesus With Us: Meeting Him Where He Began
Jesus Among Us: Walking With Him in His Ministry and Miracles
In any journey, the destination is important, but just as significant is the life we experience as we travel that path. Jesus’ journey was similar. Who He traveled with, where He went, and what He experienced along the way were all important to Him. He’s still on His journey, and He has invited you to join Him on it.
Dr. Shane Stanford, pastor and founder of JourneyWise (a multimedia network dedicated to helping people "Love Jesus and Love Like Jesus") - is launching the first two installments of its newest devotional series Life Along the Way which takes you through the life of Jesus by way of all four Gospels and the first chapter of Acts. In four 90-day devotionals, you can travel with Jesus for a full year if you wish—from His birth, to His ministry and miracles, to His relationships with the people around Him, to His death, resurrection, and ascension.
Volume one, Jesus with Us: Meeting Him Where He Began, launched in October 2023, tells the story of Jesus from Bethlehem to the Beatitudes. The second volume, Jesus Among Us: Walking With Him in His Ministry and Miracles, was released in January 2024 and tells the story of the meetings with and miracles of Jesus to the broken. Volumes 3 and 4 are scheduled to release Fall 2024.

Even children experience lonely moments. When they do, this book reminds them that you will always be there, and God is right there too. Max Lucado's comforting words reinforce the thought that no matter what happens--the good and bad, the firsts and lasts--children will never be alone . . . just in case they ever wonder.
To a child, a day can last forever, and hurt feelings sink in deep. Whether they're having trouble making friends, struggling to learn something new, or just having a sad day, children need daily reminders of how much they're cherished. Just in Case You Ever Feel Alone soothes away loneliness by promising children that their parents or caregivers will always make time for them--they will squeeze away the sad and welcome back the glad every single day.
Draw your little ones close as you affirm your unconditional love for them and God's never-ending presence and desire to be with His children.
