Discover how the joy of giving can make your life richer, starting today. Bestselling author Randy Alcorn introduced readers to a revolution in material freedom and radical generosity with the release of the original The Treasure Principle in 2001. Now the revision to the compact, perennial bestseller includes a provocative new concluding chapter depicting God asking a believer questions about his stewardship over material resources. Jesus spent more time talking about money and possessions than about heaven and hell combined. But too often we’ve overlooked or misunderstood his most profound teaching on this topic, from his words in Matthew 6. Jesus offers us life-changing investment advice. He actually wants us to store up treasures for ourselves—just not here on earth. Instead, he urges us to store our treasure in heaven, where they will await us, and last forever. We can’t take it with us—but we can send it on ahead! Readers are moved from the realms of thoughtful Bible exposition into the highly personal arena of everyday life. Because when Jesus told His followers to “lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven,” He intended that they discover an astounding secret: how joyful giving brings God maximum glory and His children maximum pleasure. In The Treasure Principle, you’ll unearth a radical teaching of Jesus—a secret wrapped up in giving. Once you discover this secret, life will never look the same. And you won’t want it to be. “Supercharged with stunning, divine truth! Lightning struck over and over as I read it.” - John Piper, Senior Pastor, Bethlehem Baptist Church, Minneapolis

Finding Treasures in the Psalms is a devotional guide that takes you on a daily journey through the Book of Psalms. When I first started writing the devotionals in early January, 2020, life was normal and all was well. However, two short months later, COVID-19 had spread throughout the world causing fear, uncertainty, sickness and death. It was at that time I came to realize that David's words were more than just a collection of poems that contained a few inspirational verses. David lived with fear and doubt. He faced uncertainty and the threat of death. Just like us, David didn't know how things would turn out when he was on the run from Saul, his son, Absalom, or fighting the Philistines. Yet, throughout his life, he trusted and wrote about God's faithfulness; and despite his circumstances, made praising God a priority. What are you facing today? Are you living with fear and doubt about your future? Are you hurting from a broken relationship? Take heart, you can find hope and reassurance of God's love in the Psalms. Start each day by reading about God's faithfulness, love, provision, and forgiveness. Allow His Word to encourage you. But more than that, allow His Word to refresh you, and give you reason to praise your heavenly Father. Charles Hall is a first-time author who lives in Wilmington, NC with his wife, Vivian. He was directed by God to write a daily devotional on the Book of Psalms to leave to his children and grandchildren. He currently serves as the Financial Administrator for two churches in the Wilmington area, and as Treasurer of Imagine Ministry, an international ministry serving in Nicaragua.

Birds in My Mustard Tree is a six-week small group study that looks at the subject of faith as an active, growing part of our walk with God. This study begins with a review of the concept of faith that leads to lessons on exercising faith, amazing faith, shattered faith, resting in faith, and a stronger faith. The author examines several heroes of faith in the Bible and adds modern anecdotes along with her personal stories to make this process result in a solid faith in God. Faith may begin as a mustard seed, but the goal is to expand it until we have birds roosting on our mustard tree of faith.
