Helping Kids Through Grief
A Parent's Guide for Making Sense of Death, Processing Loss, and Finding Hope
More than ever before, we are living in a world where kids are encountering untimely and incomprehensible grief. The emotions that go along with grief impact them (and adults) on every level: emotionally, physically, cognitively, socially, and spiritually. But the way kids understand and process grief is different from the way adults do. Kids need the grown-ups who love them to be informed, understanding, and deeply compassionate guides to help them process the complicated feelings and find their way to hope.
From bestselling author and renowned therapist Sissy Goff, this highly practical guide offers you therapeutic tools to steadily walk the kids you love through their unique journeys of loss. With compassion and insight drawn from three decades of counseling experience, Goff shows you how to help children of all ages
• comprehend what death is
• navigate the waves of feelings that kids commonly experience
• process their grief in healthy ways
• look forward with hope
Grief doesn't have to define your child's story; it can be the starting place where they find courage and resilience they never knew they had.

The Secure Soul
Finding Inner Strength and Connection When Trust Doesn't Come Easy
We are the most psychologically informed generation ever—yet we have never felt more disconnected.
You've read the books. You've done the work. So why do you still feel so alone, unseen, or empty inside? Part of you has been waiting a long time to be found.
Dr. Alison knows this longing personally. In The Secure Soul, she offers a powerful new way forward. Drawing on attachment theory, parts-based insight, and her own journey through feeling disconnected from others and critical of herself, she shows why real security isn't built by knowing more or trying harder but by restoring loving connection within your own soul.
Because the issue isn't just what's happening around you. It's also what's happening within you.
The same ache you feel in your relationships—fear of being hurt, longing to belong, wanting to be seen and truly known—is also at work inside your own soul. Until your inner world becomes grounded and connected, it's hard to feel truly secure anywhere else.
The Secure Soul shows you how to build emotional and spiritual security from the inside out. You will learn how to: understand why you feel empty, anxious, or alone—even when life looks full, identify the patterns keeping you stuck in over-functioning, self-neglect, and self-criticism, and tend to the parts of you still longing to feel safe and known.
A secure soul isn't something you achieve. It's something you come home to.

Where Are You Now, God?
Discovering the Unshakable Truth That You’re Never Alone
When life falls apart and disappointments shake your faith, where is God? Where is His voice when silence feels louder than answers? Tammy Trent offers raw honesty, biblical depth, and practical tools to help you ask the hard questions, name hidden wounds, and stay rooted in the truth that you are never alone―even when everything in you wants to quit.
Pain has a way of silencing everything except the questions: Where is God right now―when I need Him most? Doesn’t He see how much I’m hurting? Was He ever with me at all?
Writing from her own experiences of deep loss, Tammy Trent helps us uncover the places in our lives that threaten to drown out God’s truth. In this hope-filled journey toward healing, she brings us face-to-face with our doubts and reveals, through Scripture, story, and humor, how God uses our questions to draw us closer to Him.
With the warmth and authenticity of a trusted friend, Tammy walks with us as we reclaim our true identity in Christ during the times we feel most unsure of who we are and who God is. She’s discovered that God is not a bystander to our pain. He sees us and is with us, even in our darkest seasons. This is not a book about fixing everything. It’s about finding God in the middle of it all.

Making Peace with What I Can't Control
Find Relief from the Exhaustion of Overthinking, Trying to Fix Others, and Wanting to Figure It All Out
#1 New York Times bestselling author Lysa TerKeurst offers a life-giving alternative to the exhausting madness of trying to change people who don't want to be changed, prevent outcomes we fear, and manage things outside of our control.
It's not that we want to be controlling people; it's just that we want to prevent bad things from happening and bring stability to the chaos. Especially when we are afraid of what God seems to be allowing. So we come up with plans and get very intentional about trying to make everyone around us line up with what we really think is best.
We don't have bad motives. We're just desperate to prevent another hardship, more heartbreak, and all the emotional turmoil that feels so unnecessary. But this only leads to a counterfeit version of control where we believe everything depends on us--a crushing weight we were never meant to bear.
In this book, Lysa TerKeurst addresses the tension so many of us live in, where it seems like the Lord isn't paying attention and the only reasonable option is to take matters into our own hands. She shows us how to:
- Identify the core fears that fuel us to reach for control but only compound the chaos.
- Know when we're crossing the line from healthy responsibility into the dangerous territory of fear-driven control.
- Recognize specific tactics of the enemy that keep us in spiritual confusion (about God) fueled by emotional exhaustion (from the relentlessness of life).
- Stop allowing the decisions of others to rob our peace by learning what to do when we feel tempted to inappropriately intervene, rescue, or control the narrative.
- Wrestle honestly with the Lord about hard questions like, Why aren't You doing more to change this person or these circumstances? and I didn't see You do it then, so how do I know You'll do it now?

Still Here
Life Together on the Long Way Home
Everybody knows the music. Everybody knows, as well, their tragedy. But what makes the Chapmans so remarkable—Steven Curtis and Mary Beth—is that the same endurance their relationship embodies can be true of each of ours as well.
Still Here is their take on marriage, on parenting, on the lives we live and the promises we make. The Chapmans’ story, like all our stories, is one of total dependence on God’s grace and goodness, on His faithfulness and forgiveness, and on His readiness to redeem, in all of us, every outbreak of brokenness.
It’s been more than forty years of that now, together, and they’re inviting you inside to see it, to feel it—not to show you how it’s done, but to show you it can be done. Come along on their journey, and see yourself on your journey, trusting God for His faithful mercies on all our journeys home.

Unbreakable Courage
Strong Faith in an Age of Anxiety, Chaos, and Exhaustion
Does a day without difficult news seem out of reach? Does this world seem topsy-turvy at best, toxic at worst? Max Lucado’s sound biblical insights and signature storytelling provide strength and encouragement amid the current chaos and exhaustion.
In Unbreakable Courage, today's headlines and the truth of Scripture intersect in compelling fashion. Max offers a fresh look at the story of Elijah the prophet, showing readers how they can stand strong day by day in the face of turbulent times, regardless of the challenging circumstances they may face.
In today’s world, we see echoes of those unsettled, contentious times Elijah endured. Radical departures from long-held truths are taking center stage. Change is evident everywhere we look—in homes, churches, schools, government, and the workplace. We often feel as if we’re swimming upstream in a downstream world. Yet the story of Elijah urges us to have hope in the one true living God. Elijah’s unswerving belief fueled his courage, and it will do the same for us.

The Life-Changing Art of Self-Brain Surgery
Connecting Neuroscience and Faith to Radically Transform Your Life
W. Lee Warren, MD, is a board-certified practicing neurosurgeon of 25 years, an award-winning author, an Iraq War veteran, and the host of The Dr. Lee Warren Podcast. Dr. Warren helps people connect neuroscience, faith, and daily practices to lead healthier, better, and happier lives.
Since the development of functional brain imaging in the early 2000s, scientists have confirmed that thoughts can direct structural changes in the brain as effectively or more effectively than medicines or surgery - and can do so more quickly. Whether you know it or not, you are already a brain surgeon. You can choose to take control of what is already happening and learn how mind-down control of the brain, plus faith that human beings are far more than their genetic material, can give you almost superpower levels of stability and resilience. Self-Brain Surgery isn’t a metaphor; it’s the mechanism of personal change.

The Vision of Ephesians
The Task of the Church and the Glory of God
Ephesians presents a wide-ranging panorama of the Christian gospel and its implications. It looks backwards toward the creation of the world, and it looks forward to the time when God will be "all in all." It foregrounds the work of Jesus the Messiah and the work of the spirit, and it positions the church as central to the purposes of God--a small, working model of new creation. This understanding of the church is central to the New Testament, but nowhere is it clearer than in Ephesians. Paul's view of salvation is not about being rescued from the world, but about the coming together of heaven and earth in Jesus the Messiah. Against this backdrop, many of the most challenging parts of Ephesians--spiritual warfare, women in the church, powers and principalities, what Paul means by "salvation"--come into sharper focus.
In The Vision of Ephesians, well-known New Testament scholar N.T. Wright offers an accessible introduction that opens the text in a way that helps what may seem dense and allusive become clear, fresh, challenging, and encouraging. Wright works through the letter in nine sections, exploring both apocalyptic insights and bracing challenges for the church, whether in the first century or the twenty-first.

Tame Your Thoughts
Three Tools to Renew Your Mind and Transform Your Life
When was the last time you awakened to a swirl of out-of-control thoughts? Perhaps you were overwhelmed with the weight of worry, the fear of failing, or the grip of guilt. The way we think directly impacts our joy and peace. In Tame Your Thoughts, Max Lucado provides three biblical and practical tools to renew your mind and transform your life.
Our thoughts have consequences. Most people would agree that positive thoughts generate positive actions. Negative thoughts activate negative behavior. But do we understand that we can manage our lives by managing our thoughts? Not only does neuroscience back this concept, but the idea is also embedded throughout Scripture. "Do not be conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewal of your mind" (Romans 12:2 ESV). Tame your thoughts and transform your life!
In Tame Your Thoughts, Max explores three key thought-management tools and then applies them to the most common thought problems: worry, guilt, anxiety, and other types of mental quicksand that threaten to trap us. God loves us too much to let us lead a life marked by poor thinking. He made our brains; he can retrain our brains. God has not left us alone in this battle of the mind.
Stuck in your head? Hounded by regrets? Weighed down by worry? Change is possible! The thoughts that have characterized your past need not characterize the rest of your life.

The Case for Christmas
A Journalist Investigates the Identity of the Child in the Manger
Who was in the manger that first Christmas morning? And how can we know for sure?
In this completely revised and updated edition of The Case for Christmas—reflecting the latest scholarship and research—award-winning legal journalist Lee Strobel weighs the evidence to distinguish myth from truth about what happened in Bethlehem.
What can we know about the events of Christmas morning? And, most importantly, who was born that day? Some say the newborn baby would become a great moral leader. Others, a social critic. Still others view Jesus as a profound philosopher, a rabbi, a feminist, a prophet, and more. Many are convinced he was the divine Son of God. But who was he really--and how can we know for sure?
Join Strobel as he invites us to push past the distractions of the holiday season and come into the presence of the baby who was born to change us and rewrite our eternal destination: the greatest gift of all.

The GREAT Morning Revolution
Daily Spiritual Practices for Meaningful Moments with God
Many people struggle to make time for God in their busy schedules or just aren't morning people--this book addresses those issues by helping Christians establish (and stick with) a spiritual morning routine.
The practice of waking early to seek God's presence is woven into the fabric of God's word. From the Gospels to the Psalms, from the wisdom literature to the historical narratives, the Bible resounds with the call to seek God early, to set the tone of our day with prayer, and to surrender the unfolding hours to his presence.
In The GREAT Morning Revolution, Tara Beth Leach shares how she adopted the ritual of rising early and discovered the transformative power of mornings with God--and she invites you to do the same. With practical guidance, spiritual encouragement, and a structured-yet-flexible approach, she shows you how to find sacred serenity in the early hours that will reshape your perspective and deepen your relationship with God.
The GREAT acronym provides guidance for your morning routine and can be adapted to meet your lifestyle and personal needs:
• Gratitude: Start each day with a grateful heart and recognize blessings that are often overlooked.
• Reflection: Examine your thoughts, actions, and motivations before a holy and gracious God.
• Exalt: Praise and honor God's goodness in your life.
• Ask: Present your requests to God and open yourself up to the guidance that comes from seeking God.
• Trust: Surrender to God's will, leading to peace and reassurance throughout the day.
For those who desire a deeper relationship with God but have trouble setting aside time for Him, The GREAT Morning Revolution holds a promise of renewal.

Growing in God's Word
The Upper Room
The Upper Room Devotional Celebrates 90th Anniversary
Nashville, Tennessee (May 1, 2025) – The Upper Room, the longest-running daily devotional in the world, celebrates its 90th year of publishing stories of faith and prayer in 2025. When Francis Craig approached her pastor Dr. Paul Korn with an idea for a regularly published prayer guide filled with stories and scripture, she never imagined the global impact to come. With more than 1.5 billion copies printed to date, The Upper Room devotional is now available in more than 30 languages across 100 countries in multiple formats. The Upper Room is the world’s longest running devotional as it has been in continuous publication for nine decades.
The devotional’s name, The Upper Room, was inspired by a sermon on the story of Pentecost in Acts 1 and 2, and also refers to Jesus’s final meal with his beloved disciples. From its earliest days, the devotional’s content was designed for all followers of Christ, regardless of nationality, age, race, or denominational affiliation. As of 2025, it is estimated that one-third of all writers featured in The Upper Room live outside of the U.S.
“The Upper Room was created as a gift for the worldwide church from day one – a simple, effective tool for uniting Christians in daily prayer and scripture,” explains Rev. Jeffrey Campbell, General Secretary, Discipleship Ministries, and Interim Publisher, The Upper Room. “While culture has shifted and evolved since the devotional was launched in 1935, the eternal truths of scripture continue to guide and empower lives around the world. The word of God has no boundaries.”
From its earliest days, The Upper Room editors ensured that each issue had three key features – it would fit in a pocket or purse; it would include strong international representation among its contributors; and it would be an ecumenical gift to the church worldwide.
Although The Upper Room is best known as a printed devotional magazine, its content has been published in many different formats through the years, expanding its impact and reach. Published formats have included:
• 1935: The Upper Room debuts in print
• 1938: Spanish edition launched - the longest-running non-English edition
• 1946: Radio edition begins broadcasting
• 1958: “Talking books” (LP vinyl records) are launched, transitioning to cassette tapes in the 1970s and CDs in the 1990s.
• 1974: Large print edition debuted
• 1997: Website and email versions became available
• 2001: MP3 audio edition is introduced
• 2016: The Upper Room app is launched for Apple and Android devices
• 2024: The latest non-English edition, Marathi, launched
Currently, The Upper Room is available as a printed magazine (pocket-sized and large print), on The Upper Room app (Apple & Android), and online at www.UpperRoom.org

Listen Closer
Believing God’s Truth Over the World’s Lies
A Truth-Filled Reset for Your Mind and Heart.
Every day, the world bombards women with messages about who they should be, what they should strive for, and where their worth is found. These voices are loud, relentless, and often deceptive, whispering that success, beauty, performance, and approval define our identity.
But what if we've been listening to the wrong voices?
Listen Closer is a 31-day devotional designed to help you silence the noise of the world and tune in to the unchanging truth of God's Word. Each day tackles a different lie the world tells us about love, identity, fear, purpose, and more and replaces it with the life-giving truth found in Scripture.

Seeing the Supernatural
Investigating Angels, Demons, Mystical Dreams, Near-Death Encounters, and Other Mysteries of the Unseen World
We hear stories all the time about the supernatural--miraculous healings, unexplained sightings, near-death experiences--but how do we know what is real? Are rumors of spiritual beings, healings, and prophetic dreams dangerous deceptions, or is there something important for us to explore? Join investigative journalist and former atheist Lee Strobel as he examines the evidence and considers how we should think about the unseen world--and the God who made and rules over it.
As the bestselling author of the popular Case For series, which has sold millions of copies, Lee Strobel has interviewed some of the most brilliant scientists and philosophical thinkers in the world on topics of apologetics and faith. In Seeing the Supernatural, Lee weaves together his best material from several previous books with dynamic new and never-published interviews to investigate what the Bible really teaches about the unseen world.
Written for skeptics and believers alike, Seeing the Supernatural is a transformative exploration of how the supernatural can shape our understanding of God's character and our own faith.

Never Give Up
God is Good When Life Isn’t
In Never Give Up, Max Lucado crafts a powerful narrative underscoring the theme of relentless perseverance and the goodness of God in the midst of life's storms. Max illustrates that God's goodness transcends our circumstances. This book serves as a vivid reminder that, even when life seems unfair or impossible, our faith in a benevolent God can carry us through to redemption and transformation.
In familiar Lucado fashion, Max interlaces real-life stories with biblical truths, demonstrating that surrendering to God and holding onto hope is not just about enduring the hard times but about seeing them as opportunities for growth and witnessing the unfolding of God's plan. Carefully curated from Max's bestseller, You'll Get Through This, Never Give Up isn't just a narrative; it's a call to trust in the unwavering goodness of God, even when life itself doesn't seem good.
Readers will find the encouragement to keep fighting, to keep believing, and to never give up, assuring them that with God's guidance, any adversity can be overcome, leading to profound personal strength and spiritual insight.

The Daystar Dogs
Lucy Learns to Be Brave: A Lesson in Courage
"Lots of things scared Lucy . . . car rides . . . bigger dogs . . . even hiccups. When someone hiccupped near her, she would try to climb on her mom's head, thinking she would be safe up there. It didn't help."
Lucy is a small dog with big fears. Her fears try to trick her into believing things that aren't true--like she can't do things on her own or other dogs are mean and dangerous. Believing these things makes her feel even smaller than she really is!
But Lucy has courage hidden on the inside. To bring it out, she just needs a little help from someone who loves her.
Inspired by her fellow therapist--who happens to be ankle-high and covered in fur--veteran counselor Sissy Goff tells an encouraging story of how love is bigger than fear. It's the secret to helping every puppy and person be brave.
Owen Learns He Has What It Takes: A Lesson in Resilience
Owen is a yellow lab who's scared of new places and people and who stands too close and licks too long. But when he visits a children's hospital, a very special boy helps him find his resilience--even as Owen helps the boys and girls at the hospital do the same.
From veteran counselors and bestselling authors Sissy Goff and David Thomas, The Daystar Dogs series follows Owen and his furry friends at the little yellow house in Nashville. As the puppies, and the kids they help, navigate hard situations, children will discover how to regulate emotions, develop necessary social skills, and discover the difference each puppy--and child--can make. Heartwarming and helpful, these books speak to the heart of what your child needs emotionally, socially, and spiritually today.

Men Don't Run in the Rain
A Son’s Reflections on Life, Faith, and an Iconic Father
Few things shape a life more profoundly than the lessons of a father.
William "Bill" Burgess was a larger-than-life personality. This was displayed on football fields across the Southeast, first as a player at Auburn University and later as a championship-winning coach at the high school and collegiate levels. But he was also a father.
His son, New York Times best-selling author and nationally syndicated radio host Rick Burgess, had a front-row seat to this legendary man who had a way with words like few others. Through rich storytelling, Rick Burgess captures his father's many colorful sayings and stories, taking them a step further by cleverly and clearly communicating the spiritual truths behind each one.
Men Don't Run in the Rain is a timeless reflection on the kind of man they simply don't make anymore.
