"As the author's knowledge of the God of the Bible deepened through her own battles, AJ was led spectacularly deeper into the realms of spiritual warfare, but always with a guiding hand. Then through prayerful revelation and much study, her eyes were opened to the spiritual battles in others. She found herself grappling desperately to pull these people up from the murky waters in an attempt to shield them from what she could see in them. However without God, they were in deep with the unseen enemy, but there was always an outstretched hand. As a willing tool, she was ready to grab anyone crying out into the night because someone heard them. But they did not fully believe, so it hurt the light. So on she went, embracing ridicule and mocking because being called names, was better than watching someone's suicide. She wanted them free because their inner foe was deeply hidden and smirking. But it could not hide from her, and this was war! A passion began to build for those who could not break free from tormenting or fearful thoughts and she saw quite clearly what the world would call "mental health," turning and darkening into a spiritual battle so intense that it threatened to devour the victim whole. No medicine or therapy fully healed those she knew. They saw themselves as victims but the world will look for anything other than sorrow to heal their minds, so they were unaware of the earth-shattering blow about to hit. She quickly learned that having no belief makes you more vulnerable to attack and then our kids are on the menu. Will you let your enemy take everything from you or will you fight for your freedom? If so, then take my hand, as we are going in, together.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Raw, intimate, and timely—a no-holds-barred celebration of our bodies that flies in the face of antiquated ideas about sex and gender. “A triumph.”—Glennon Doyle • “One of the most important, life-changing books I’ve ever read.”—Rachel Held Evans, author of Searching for Sunday and Inspired Negative messages about sex come from all corners of society: from the church, from the media, from our own families. As a result, countless people have suffered pain, guilt, and judgment. In this instant bestseller, Nadia Bolz-Weber unleashes her critical eye and her vulnerable yet hopeful soul on the harmful conversations about sex that have fed our shame. Bolz-Weber offers no simple amendments or polite compromises. Instead, this modern-day reverend calls for an inclusivity that empowers us to be loyal to people and, perhaps most important, ourselves. “Christianity is not a program for avoiding mistakes,” she writes. “It is a faith of the guilty.” With an alternative understanding of Scripture passages that have been weaponized against Christians for decades, Bolz-Weber reminds us that sexual flourishing can and should be for all genders, all bodies, and all humans. She shares stories, poetry, and Scripture that wage war on perpetual anxiety around sex by celebrating sexuality in all its forms and recognizing it for the gift that it is. If you’ve been mistreated, confused, angered, and/or wounded by shaming sexual messages, this one is for you.

We all carry sexual shame. Whether we grew up in the repressive purity culture of American Evangelical Christianity or not, we've all been taught in subtle and not-so-subtle ways that sex (outside of very specific contexts) is immoral and taboo. Psychotherapist Matthias Roberts helps readers overcome their shame around sex by overcoming three unhealthy coping mechanisms we use to manage that shame. Beyond Shame encourages each of us to determine our own definition of healthy sex, while avoiding the ditches of boundaryless sex positivity on the one hand and strict moralistic boundaries on the other. Define your sexual values on your own terms, overcome your shame, and start having great, healthy sex.

Randy Alcorn's gripping new masterpiece delivers us from ignorance of the devil's schemes. Foulgrin, a high-ranking demon, instructs his subordinate on how to deceive and destroy Jordan Fletcher and his family. It's like placing a bugging device in hell's war room, where we overhear our enemies assessing our weaknesses and strategizing attack. Lord Foulgrin's Letters is a Screwtape Letters for our day, equally fascinating yet distinctly different-a dramatic story with earthly characters, setting, and plot. A creative, insightful, and biblical depiction of spiritual warfare, this book will guide readers to Christ-honoring counterstrategies for putting on the full armor of God and resisting the devil. Alcorn says to win the battle we must know our God, know ourselves, and know our enemy. Lord Foulgrin's Letters, in unparalleled and compelling fashion, helps us better know each.
