FEELING OVERWHELMED? Keep running until you find your second wind in Christ! After first sharing daily devotionals by text with his family and friends, Christian Collins became inspired to share them through a blog. Now he is sharing them in this book for those who may be growing weary on their races of life. Christian is an active runner, and after trying a few long runs, he realized there were times he would grow weary, but if he kept running, he would eventually get what's known as a "runner's high" (a second wind). These experiences got him thinking about how he has often grown weary in his own life with struggles, doubts, and fears. But he also knows that God has always been the source of his renewed strength and has given him the second wind he has needed. As followers of Christ, we constantly face challenges, and the sin that so easily entangles us can hinder us from reaching the greater life that God is beckoning us to. Each day, we need a renewal of our faith to keep running with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of our faith. This 365-day devotional book is a collection of daily devotionals written to encourage you to keep running until you find your second wind in Christ.

Growing up the son of agnostics, John Koessler saw a Catholic church on one end of the street and a Baptist on the other. In the no-man’s land between the two, this curious outside wondered about the God they worshipped—and began a lifelong search to comprehend the grace and mystery of God. A Stranger in the House of God addresses fundamental questions and struggles faced by spiritual seekers and mature believers. Like a contemporary Pilgrim’s Progress, it traces the author’s journey and explores his experiences with both charismatic and evangelical Christianity. It also describes his transformation from religious outsider to ordained pastor. John Koessler provides a poignant and often humorous window into the interior of the soul as he describes his journey from doubt and struggle with the church to personal faith

A compassionate, shame-free guide for your darkest days “A one-of-a-kind book . . . to read for yourself or give to a struggling friend or loved one without the fear that depression and suicidal thoughts will be minimized, medicalized or over-spiritualized.”—Kay Warren, cofounder of Saddleback Church What happens when loving Jesus doesn’t cure you of depression, anxiety, or suicidal thoughts? You might be crushed by shame over your mental illness, only to be told by well-meaning Christians to “choose joy” and “pray more.” So you beg God to take away the pain, but nothing eases the ache inside. As darkness lingers and color drains from your world, you’re left wondering if God has abandoned you. You just want a way out. But there’s hope. In I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die, Sarah J. Robinson offers a healthy, practical, and shame-free guide for Christians struggling with mental illness. With unflinching honesty, Sarah shares her story of battling depression and fighting to stay alive despite toxic theology that made her afraid to seek help outside the church. Pairing her own story with scriptural insights, mental health research, and simple practices, Sarah helps you reconnect with the God who is present in our deepest anguish and discover that you are worth everything it takes to get better. Beautifully written and full of hard-won wisdom, I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die offers a path toward a rich, hope-filled life in Christ, even when healing doesn’t look like what you expect.

In a church culture becoming increasingly focused on "cultural relevance," how can leaders guide their church in a way that returns to the Bible and honors God? Throughout his years of ministry, this was a question Jason Shepperd continued to ask. Many churches around him were focusing their resources internally instead of making disciples and meeting needs, and Jason knew God wanted more for the Church and for his people. In Church Project, Jason shares how God led them to structure the church and return to biblical church planting. He explains how their church has stayed committed to their core principles and helped their congregation to live out these values. Jason's desire is to share the lessons God has taught him over the years, and to guide church leaders seeking to return their churches to God's true plan for his people.
