    by Jeff Goins

    Jeff Goins, a brilliant new voice counting Seth Godin and Jon Acuff among his fans, explains how to abandon the status quo and live a life that matters with true passion and purpose.

    The path to your life’s work is difficult and risky, even scary, which is why few finish the journey. As Jeff Goins explains, the search begins with passion but does not end there. Only when our interests connect with the needs of the world do we begin living for a larger purpose. Those who experience this intersection experience something exceptional and enviable. Though it is rare, such a life is attainable by anyone brave enough to try. 

    Through personal experience, compelling case studies, and current research on the mysteries of motivation and talent, Jeff shows readers how to find their vocation and what to expect along the way.

    Prayer Is Good Medicine: How to Reap the Healing Benefits of Prayer – Save 87%

    Prayer Is Good Medicine: How to Reap the Healing Benefits of PrayerPrayer Is Good Medicine: How to Reap the Healing Benefits of Prayer
    by Larry Dossey

    In Prayer Is Good Medicine, Larry Dossey shows us how we can make the most of our own healing prayers. In a series of short, inspiring chapters, he addresses common questions and concerns about harnessing the healing potential of prayer, including whether to pray with or without words, when and how much to pray, and even how to avoid the destructive side of prayer.

    Dossey emphasizes that praying is not a replacement for good medical treatment, but instead is a very effective addition to it – it just makes good sense to use both.

    In Prayer Is Good Medicine, you will learn that prayer works, even across great distance; seeking general guidance through prayer can be more valuable than asking for something specific; adopting a compassionate, sincere, and loving attitude will allow your prayers to be truly beneficial; prayers are always answered – though the answer may not be “yes”; and hope heals.

    No matter what form your faith takes, you’ll come away from Prayer Is Good Medicine with a new appreciation of how prayer can bring about healthful change and the tools to make that happen.

    It’s Not What You Think – Save $14

    It's Not What You ThinkIt’s Not What You Think
    by Jefferson Bethke

    Jesus was most upset at people for seeing but not seeing. For missing it. For succumbing to the danger and idolatry of forcing God into preconceived ideals. What if there were a better way? What if Jesus came not to help people escape the world but rather to restore it?

    Best-selling author and spoken word artist Jefferson Bethke says that “Christians have the greatest story ever told but we aren’t telling it.” So in this new book, Bethke tells that story anew, presenting God’s truths from the Old and the New Testaments as the challenging and compelling story that it is—a grand narrative with God at the center. And in doing so, Bethke reminds readers of the life-changing message of Jesus that turned the world upside-down, a world that God is putting back together.

    Blue Like Jazz – Save $15

    Blue Like JazzBlue Like Jazz
    by Bob Goff

    “I never liked jazz music because jazz music doesn’t resolve. I used to not like God because God didn’t resolve. But that was before any of this happened.” – Donald Miller

    In Donald Miller’s early years, he was vaguely familiar with a distant God. But when he came to know Jesus Christ, he pursued the Christian life with great zeal. Within a few years he had a successful ministry that ultimately left him feeling empty, burned out, and, once again, far away from God. In this intimate, soul-searching account, Miller describes his remarkable journey back to a culturally relevant, infinitely loving God.

    For anyone wondering if the Christian faith is still relevant in a postmodern culture. For anyone thirsting for a genuine encounter with a God who is real. For anyone yearning for a renewed sense of passion in life.

    Blue Like Jazz is a fresh and original perspective on life, love, and redemption.
