To Live is Christ To Die is Gain by Matt Chandler
The story begins in Philippi where Paul introduces three individuals that
were all enslaved by the kind of things that we often choose over the
gospel: Lydia, the Business Executive, The Little Slave Girl, and The
Hard Working Jailer. Their lives portray dysfunction and emptiness, but
are totally transformed by the Gospel. True joy and Christ’s love begin to
live within them, giving them a life of purpose. In fact, Paul himself was
enslaved and then by God’s grace and mercy he could pen these popular
and profound words: To Live is Christ and to Die is Gain. I can do all
things through Christ who strengthens me.

Anxious for Nothing by Max Lucado
In this five-session video-based Bible study (DVD/digital video sold
separately), bestselling author Max Lucado looks at seven admonitions from
the apostle Paul in Philippians 4:4–8 that lead to one wonderful promise:
“The peace of God which surpasses all understanding.” As he unpacks
each verse, he shows how God is ready to give comfort to help us face the
calamities in life, view bad news through the lens of sovereignty, discern the
lies of Satan, and tell ourselves the truth. We can be anxious for nothing,
and discover true peace from God that surpasses all human understanding.
It All Goes Back In The Box by John Ortberg
In When the Game Is Over, It All Goes Back in the Box, bestselling author,
pastor, and consummate storyteller John Ortberg tells us we can take pretty
much only what we brought to the game. Everything else goes back in the
box—the cash atop the corporate ladder, the vacation home at the lake, and
the status vehicle in between. All the tokens, game pieces, and prizes are left
behind when you walk away from the table. The only real “winnings” you
claim and keep are your own soul and the love you have for Christ and each
other. If you think you might need a better game plan—one that offers an
eternal perspective—this strategy-filled playbook walks you through what it
takes to really win big at the game of life.

Lord. The choice is yours to know him as only a water walker can, aligning
yourself with God’s purpose for your life in the process. There’s just one
requirement: If You Want to Walk on Water, You’ve Got to Get Out of the Boat.
Are you weary of the latest self-help books that promise
to set you free but only imprison you with laundry lists of studies to consider, positive
affirmations to recite, and Facebook groups to join?
We’ve all seen the memes that populate the internet: live your truth, follow your heart,
you only have one life to live. They sound nice and positive. But what if these slogans are
actually lies that unhinge us from reality and leave us anxious and exhausted? Another
Gospel? author and Christian apologist Alisa Childers invites you to examine under the light of
Scripture modern lies that are disguised as truths in today’s culture. Everyday messages of
peace, fulfillment, and empowerment swirl around social media. On the surface, they seem like
sentiments of freedom and hope, but in reality they are deeply deceptive.
In Live Your Truth (and Other Lies), Alisa brings refreshing honesty and clarity to hot-button issues to help you:
In Live Your Truth (and Other Lies), Alisa brings refreshing honesty and clarity to hot-button issues to help you:

A movement called ‘deconstruction’ is sweeping through our churches and it is affecting our
loved ones. It has disrupted, dismantled, and destroyed the faith of so many, and this book can
help you not only understand what’s happening but also stand your ground and respond with
clarity and confidence.
- Maybe you have a loved one who is deconstructing their faith, and you are struggling to know how to respond;
- Maybe you are trying to understand the radical spiritual makeover your friend or family member is going through;
- Maybe your relationship with a loved one has been strained or even cut off because of your “toxic” Christian beliefs and you don’t know what to do;
- Maybe you’re experiencing doubt yourself and facing hard questions about truth, God, the Bible, theology and the gospel.
Some who leave the faith feel wounded by the church. Others feel repressed by some of the
moral imperatives found in Scripture. For some, it leads to a custom-made spirituality. For
others, deconstructing their faith leads them away from the truth into agnosticism, atheism, the
occult, or humanism.
In this seminal book, Alisa Childers, author of Another Gospel?, and Tim Barnett, creator of Red Pen Logic, will help you understand what deconstruction is, where it comes from, why it is compelling to some, and how it disorients the lives of so many. You will be able to think through the main issues around faith deconstruction and explore wise and loving ways to respond from a biblical worldview.
