Read the first chapter of Rockstar Grandparent.

A guide to grandparenting with purpose and fun–in the age of smart phones and social media.

Grandparenting may be different today, but it still can be meaningful and fun for both the kids and the adults. Today’s grandparent needs to understand technology—how it mesmerizes grandchildren but also enhances the opportunities to connect and share life experiences.

The author addresses topics relevant to all grandparents and also looks at the challenges of grandchildren living in single parent or blended families. Also included are stories from the author’s journey with her own grandchildren—including Duck Dynasty’s Sadie Robertson.

SNEAK PEEK: PRAYER by Justin McRoberts & Scott Erickson

June 28, 2018

Read the first few pages of Prayer: Forty Days of Practice.

A simple yet profound guide to facilitate the instinctively human desire to pray.

We pray because we are human, not because we are religious. Something in our nature points beyond itself; something in us searches for and desires personal connection with God. Although communicating with our Creator through prayer is innate, the effective practice of it often feels just beyond our reach.

This unique book guides you to pray in deeper and more authentic ways. The short prayers and thought-provoking imagery, interspersed with contemplative reflections and suggested practices, will stir, inform, and encourage you. The simplicity of the prayers and the aesthetic appeal of the images will inspire people in every facet of life, including those with no real religious background at all.

SNEAK PEEK: HOLY SEXUALITY AND THE GOSPEL by Christopher Yuan

June 18, 2018

Read the first two chapters of Holy Sexuality and the Gospel.

From the author of Out of a Far Country, which details his dramatic conversion from an agnostic gay man who put his identity in his sexuality to a Bible professor who now puts his identity in Christ alone, comes a gospel-centered discussion of sex, desire, and relationships.

Dr. Christopher Yuan explores the concept of holy sexuality–chastity in singleness or faithfulness in marriage–in a practical and relevant manner, equipping readers with an accessible yet robust theology of sexuality. Whether you want to share Christ with a loved one who identifies as gay or you’re wrestling with questions of identity yourself, this book will help you better understand sexuality in light of God’s grand story and realize that holy sexuality is actually good news for all.
