Evangelist Nick Hall Calls for the Church to Pray for Nationwide “Reset” on “The 700 Club”

Evangelist Nick Hall, author of Reset: Jesus Changes Everything, recently joined “The 700 Club” to share the great things God is doing in the lives of people throughout the nation. He’s spoken to more than 3 million students and seen more than 500,000 make public declarations for Christ in the last few years.

Now he’s calling for one million to gather in unity under the banner of Christ on the National Mall on July 16th.

In his new book Reset, Hall invites readers to come to Christ and experience a do-over—to move on from their past and discover the life they were meant to live. He also helps readers navigate and overcome common spiritual and relational pitfalls and encourages them to see them themselves in the light of God’s amazing grace and love.

A New View on the Old Rugged Cross

Are peace, joy, and significance on your wish list?  How about redemption, forgiveness, the salvation of your soul?  Each of these descriptors bring us to the main event:  grace.  Saving grace, God’s immeasurable gift intended for all.  Regardless of accomplishments or station in life, despite sins of the past, anyone can receive the free gift of grace.
Yet too often we take God’s incomparable gift for granted—despite the fact that God’s very Son paid for it with his body, breath, and blood. Understandably, we often find ourselves caught up in the daily routine of life, not taking time to reflect on the enormity of God’s [ … ]

About Do Hard Things by Alex Harris & Brett Harris

Most people don’t expect you to understand what we’re going to tell you in this book. And even if you understand, they don’t expect you to care. And even if you care, they don’t expect you to do anything about it. And even if you do something about it, they don’t expect it to last. We do. – Alex and Brett

A generation stands on the brink of a “rebelution”

Do Hard Things is the Harris twins’ revolutionary message in its purest and most compelling form, giving readers a tangible glimpse of what is possible for teens who actively resist cultural lies that limit their potential.

About The Joy of Fearing God by Jerry Bridges

What Kind of Relationship Can You Have with Someone You Fear?

For most of us, fear is something we try to avoid. And fearing God hardly sounds like an occasion for joy. But Jerry Bridges shows how the fear of the Lord is actually the key that opens the door to a life of true knowledge, wisdom, blessing, and joy.

We all want a deeper, more intimate relationship with God–one that’s characterized by joy. But how does fearing God lead to joy? After all, aren’t we supposed to love Him and live in intimate relationship with Him? Jerry Bridges explores this paradox as he unpacks the biblical promise that God delights in those who fear Him.

Minimalist Joshua Becker Shares 5 Surprises at Christianity Today

Joshua Becker, author of The More of Less and founder of BecomingMinimalist.com, shares at Christianity Today the 5 surprising spiritual benefits he has discovered from owning less stuff.

“Over the years, I’ve come to define minimalism as the intentional promotion of the things we most value and the removal of everything that distracts us from it,” writes Becker. “I’ve found it to be a lifestyle that offers not just a tidier home, but a more intentional spirituality.”

In his new hit book The More of Less, Becker offers even more rich benefits from downsizing belongings, such as more time for loved ones, less debt from buying unneeded things and fewer distractions from pursuing our passions.
