5 years into leading his church, Ken Schaap found himself at a breaking point. His faith was withering and being replaced with disappointment and cynicism. The God of the Bible seemed uninvolved and distant. Dealing with afflicted kids, an overwhelmed wife, a fledgling church, and an imprisoned father left him discouraged and ready to quit. Then, the Holy Spirit touched his life in an unexpected way. Weaving together miraculous personal experiences with a fresh look at God's Word, Ken makes the case that a naturally supernatural life of following Jesus is possible.

You may have noticed that much of today's ministry comes neatly packaged along with a slick marketing strategy. The offer of health, wealth, and success in all you do is a pleasant detour from the actual message of the Lord Jesus. Perhaps you never really considered that even though salvation is the free gift of God, transformation to spiritual maturity is not a gift at all. It's a process. The cross of Calvary was God's appointment for his son. The Cross in Your Path is the Son's appointment for You. This book is concerned with that second cross, the one you are to take up and carry.

So many people in the world are suffering but don't know how to receive help. Some beg and plead with God. Some negotiate, promising that they will change their ways if only He will grant them this one request. But then, if their request is not answered in the way they desire, they lose faith or get angry or sink into despair. There is a better way. There is a method of praying for a miracle that guarantees the best possible chance of getting a yes from God—or at least alleviation of our stress and satisfaction for our souls.

What we refer to as commerce, Heaven refers to as trade. It is the exchange of something of value from one party to another. We practice trades every day.

Armas gives listeners a sense of hope and belonging in their daily lives—belonging to ourselves, God, each other, and the earth—in ways that resist the lies of empire. Each chapter begins with a brief liturgy.

I humbly and gracefully say that this book, in my opinion, is optimistic and providential. It is experiential and offers more to the right souls who listen to the ideas correctly and with the right mindset. The content of this book came out of a flow during moments of deep connection, as if it were meant for a particular group of people. Often the author was surprised by the clarity that flowed into these moments and, at times, sat in shock because the insights were directly opposite to his beliefs and ways of doing things.

The history of the Western church is stained by injustice. The impulse to resist justice and look the other way has harmed the church and the people it aims to serve. But a different future is possible. In The Justice of Jesus, Joash Thomas surveys the history of injustice and colonization in the Global South at the hands of the Western church. He shows that in addition to harming colonized peoples, colonization has limited Western Christians' understanding of the gospel, leading us to devalue the pursuit of justice for our neighbors on the margins.

We want to live with joy. But life is hard. Culture tells us to ignore the hard and focus on the positive. But science shows that actually makes us more depressed and physically ill.

James Polson was once a skeptic who believed that God, heaven, and hell did not likely exist outside of his imagination. He was satisfied with his views until he was involved in a car accident that forced the realization that death can occur at any time. Was he wrong about heaven and hell? If they really existed, where would he be? While these complex questions remained in the back of his mind, Polson embarked on a quest to discover any truth about the existence of God, heaven, and hell.
