God Loves Trailer Trash is about God's grace, mercy, forgiveness, and love for all people that believe in Jesus regardless of what society thinks of them. For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not parish but have eternal life. (John 3:16) It doesn't say only those in country clubs or live in gated communities but anyone who believes in him. So so-called trailer trash are just as treasured as those people, maybe more.

It's 1986, and what should have been the greatest summer of Nate Bradford's life goes sour when his parents suddenly divorce. Now, instead of spending his senior year in his hometown of Austin, Texas, he's living with his father in Warren, Wyoming, population 2,833 (and Nate thinks that might be a generous estimate). There's no swimming pool, no tennis team, no mall--not even any MTV. The entire school's smaller than his graduating class back home, and in a town where the top teen pastimes are sex and drugs, Nate just doesn't fit in. Then Nate meets Cody Lawrence. Cody's dirt-poor, from a broken family, and definitely lives on the wrong side of the tracks. Nate's dad says Cody's bad news. The other kids say he's trash. But Nate knows Cody's a good kid who's been dealt a lousy hand. In fact, he's beginning to think his feelings for Cody go beyond friendship. Admitting he might be gay is hard enough, but between small-town prejudices and the growing AIDS epidemic dominating the headlines, a town like Warren, Wyoming, is no place for two young men to fall in love.

Most of us are regular people who have good days and bad days. Our lives are radically ordinary and unexciting. That means they're the kind of lives God gets excited about. While the world worships beauty and power and wealth, God hides his glory in the simple, the mundane, the foolish, working in unawesome people, things, and places.In our day of celebrity worship and online posturing, this is a refreshing, even transformative way of understanding God and our place in his creation. It urges us to treasure a life of simplicity, to love those whom the world passes by, to work for God's glory rather than our own. And it demonstrates that God has always been the Lord of the cross--a Savior who hides his grace in unattractive, inglorious places.Your God Is Too Glorious reminds readers that while a quiet life may look unimpressive to the world, it's the regular, everyday people that God tends to use to do his most important work.

Most people never seize their moment because they are paralyzed by their own thinking. This book will teach you to let go of your excuses and never miss your moment again. It’s time for a change! It’s time to hear the voice of Jesus asking, “Do you want to get well?” And it’s time to answer Him with your obedience. Your destiny, future, and family are not controlled by “if only”; they rest in the hands of the One who loves you, saves you, redeems you, and heals you. Let go of your excuses, move beyond your conditional living, and break your cycle of dependency. It’s time to stand! Have you convinced yourself the abundant life Jesus came to bring is out of reach? Have you developed an “if only” mentality, waiting for something or someone to turn things around? While you become more and more dependent on your excuses, you watch others get what you want to have, go where you want to go, and experience what you long to feel. It seems it’s never your turn to experience the joy that comes from attaining all God has for you. In You Are Next, Rev. Samuel Rodriguez uses the story of Jesus healing the paralytic to powerfully illustrate that your “tendency for dependency” could be standing in the way of your miracle. He challenges you to do what’s necessary to receive it and shows you how to: Let go of old labels you’ve allowed to define you Move beyond barriers that limit you Stop seeing yourself as a victim and start seeing your circumstances as subject to the authority and power of Jesus Christ Let go of the qualifications you think are tacked on to Jesus’ command to get up and walk It’s time to step out in faith! You are next!

When Stacy Weber and her husband moved to a beautiful new home in California, she thought they'd arrived in paradise. Yet when Stacy struggles to get out of bed in the morning, she realizes her real journey has only begun...

Her authentic, immensely relatable journey toward healing inspires us to see Jesus's touch in everyone we meet.

Mark Miller has spent his life half-ass repenting for all the things he's done wrong, but there's one blotch on his record that he can't erase. He wants to forget his transgressions and pursue a passionless life as an academic, but his new roommates force him to confront his past. Ever since he killed that man in Texarkana, Mark's been hiding from the unnerving stare of God. Now he has to endure his roommates' southern-fried theories about religion. If he can survive their spiritual experiments, live through a drive-by shooting, outwit the old lady next door, escape from the cops, figure out the secret of the bus stop signs, and return the forty-foot-tall inflatable green gorilla to its rightful owners, he might just catch a glimpse of what he's been looking for.

Have you ever wondered what the church would look like if Christians began to take the words of Jesus seriously--the words some Bibles print in red? What if Jesus actually meant for us to do the things he said? What if those who "believe in Jesus" really did value the things he valued? Would the church look different? Would your neighborhood stay the same? In Think Red, Larry Stoess takes a close look at the values, the vision, and the mission of Jesus, and then holds up a mirror for us to see if our communities look anything like Jesus. If we dare look in the mirror we may be inspired to leave behind our obsession with consumer-based religion and follow the way of Jesus. Those who do will be set free to imagine creative and whimsical expressions of community.

Do we touch God and meet Jesus in a church or a soup kitchen? In a monastery or on skid row? In a Bible camp or a housing project? In heaven or on earth? Such distinctions are false, says Arthur Paul Boers. We can't experience God in heaven without loving the needy on earth. Nor can we truly love the needy on earth if not empowered by God in heaven.
