Meanwhile, ambitious Luke McCarthy thought he had life figured out until his boss's moral compromises threaten to unravel the charity he's built his purpose around.

Her job as a nurse and the bond with her three best friends keep her grounded, until her father asks her to volunteer at his foundation and she meets Nate Bronson — a man carrying his own quiet wounds. As Tina and Nate circle the possibility of love, they must each decide whether their pasts will define their futures or whether grace has room for something new.

— Flowers Can Bloom Through Ashes: A Christian Coming-of-Age Novel About a Teen Girl Uncovering Family Secrets, Grief, and Belonging

A Story of Hope and Redemption for Teen Readers Navigating Family, Faith, and Loss

Juliet is fourteen, awkward, and tired of feeling like an outsider. Raised by a single, overprotective mom who ships her off to her aunt’s every summer, she’s never quite found where she belongs — and high school is only weeks away.

Then a tragic accident cracks open secrets her family has kept buried for years. Secrets about who she is. Secrets about where she comes from. Secrets that could bring her peace — or tear apart everything she thought she knew.

This coming-of-age novel follows one unforgettable summer as Juliet searches for identity, family truth, and the courage to grow up on her own terms.

• Parents and educators seeking sensitive, non-graphic entry points into difficult teen topics

• Fans of stories about single-parent households, small towns, and finding where you belong

— The Mystery of the Gospel

Most Christians believe the gospel. Far fewer can explain it clearly to someone who’s never heard it.

The Mystery of the Gospel strips away the Christianese and walks you through the essential elements of God’s story in plain, everyday language — without losing theological depth. Through Scripture and personal story, Trip Kimball makes the gospel not just something you believe but something you can actually share, wherever you are, with whoever’s listening.

Revised and updated December 2024.

Who it’s for: New believers building their foundation, longtime Christians who want to articulate their faith more clearly, evangelism training groups, and anyone who’s ever stumbled when someone asked “so what exactly is the gospel?”

— The Atheist Conversion Manual: 17 Cases that Destroy Secular Religion, Prove God, and Show You the Way to Eternal Life

Can Atheism Survive 17 Direct Hits?

The Atheist Conversion Manual is a Christian apologetics book built for one purpose: to give skeptics, doubters, and believers a clear, plain-language case for God’s existence — no academic fog, no hand-waving.

Chris M. Wright spent his teenage years quietly convinced Christianity might be a lie, then watched college professors treat his faith as something to dismantle rather than consider. This book is what he built on the other side of that fight.

What’s Inside

• 17 standalone cases covering evidence, philosophy, and the trustworthiness of Scripture

• Direct responses to the standard secular arguments against belief — including the “faith is a virus” framing popularized by New Atheist writers

• A structured path from honest doubt to a defensible, examined faith

• Plain-spoken chapters designed to be read in order or dipped into one argument at a time

Who This Book Is For

• Skeptics and atheists who want a real answer, not a sermon

• Christians who’ve never had to defend what they believe out loud

• Parents and youth leaders preparing teens for a classroom that will challenge their faith

• Anyone who has quietly wondered whether their belief — or unbelief — can hold up under pressure

This isn’t a book that asks you to feel your way to God. It’s a book that asks you to think your way there, one case at a time — and shows you what’s waiting on the other side: eternal life, not as a slogan, but as a conclusion.

— Heaven Encounters: 140 Verified Near-Death Experience Testimonies

You’re not afraid of dying. You’re afraid it might mean nothing.

Randy Kay was a biotech CEO and committed agnostic — until he clinically died for thirty minutes in 2005 and found himself with Jesus. He didn’t want to come back. What followed was years of rigorous investigation by a team that reviewed thousands of accounts and accepted fewer than 30 percent. Heaven Encounters is the result: the largest vetted collection of near-death experience testimonies ever assembled in a single volume.

Inside, you’ll meet an atheist who saw hell and came back changed. A child who described heaven in detail no child could invent. A pastor who stood in God’s glory and couldn’t speak for days. These people weren’t theorizing — they were there.

Who it’s for: Skeptics and seekers wrestling with what happens after death, Christians wanting evidence-based encouragement about heaven, anyone grieving or facing mortality, and readers drawn to near-death experience accounts who want vetted testimony instead of speculation.

— The Signs in Heaven Series (5 books)

What if the heavens themselves were preaching the gospel — and warning of what’s to come?

The Signs in Heaven Series is a deep-dive investigation into Bible prophecy, the Mazzaroth (biblical constellations), and the astronomical signs woven through Scripture from Genesis to Revelation. Blending biblical research, ancient history, and analysis of modern celestial events — solar eclipses, blood moons, planetary alignments — Ender E. Law builds a case that the signs in the sky and the signs in the Word point to the same story: God’s covenant, Christ’s redemption, and the unfolding of the last days.

A former worship leader and small group teacher with degrees in Engineering and an MBA, Ender brings 30+ years of analytical training to apologetics and eschatology, publishing to over 5,000 readers monthly on Substack.

The five books in the series:

• The Sixth Seal Signs — Investigates the astronomical signs of Revelation 6, connecting blood moons, comets, and solar eclipses to end-times prophecy.

• The Covenant Signs — Traces God’s covenants from Adam to the New Covenant through the Mazzaroth and the Star of Bethlehem.

• The Signs of Jonah — Explores the “Sign of Jonah,” solar eclipses, and the Beast of the Sea as warnings to a generation seeking truth.

• The Signs of the Four Horsemen — Examines the Four Horsemen of Revelation and the Armor of God through astronomical and historical signs.

• The Signs of Immanuel — Investigates the birth, crucifixion, and resurrection of Jesus through the lens of celestial signs and the Mazzaroth.

Who it’s for: Christians interested in Bible prophecy, eschatology, and apologetics; readers drawn to the Mazzaroth and “Gospel in the Stars”; and anyone wanting to understand current events through a biblical prophetic lens.

— The Return of Heaven

40+ authors. 3 languages. 1,500 years. One story.

Most people read the Bible in pieces — never seeing how it all connects. The Return of Heaven brings the whole story into focus: creation, rebellion, promise, and restoration. Written for seekers and those new to the faith, it strips away the complexity without losing the depth, revealing the single thread that runs from Genesis to Revelation — and asks the question that changes everything: what if the story you’ve been searching for is the one you’re already living in?

Inside, you’ll discover how Scripture fits together as one story, why the world feels both broken and full of longing, what heaven was meant to be — and will be again — and how your own story connects to something far bigger than yourself.

Who it’s for: Seekers and skeptics wanting to understand the big picture of the Bible, new believers building a foundation, and anyone who senses the world is broken but can’t shake the feeling there’s more to the story.

— Thank God It’s Monday(?): Balancing Work and Faith While Keeping Your Sense of Humor

Jealousy. Selfishness. Greed. Stale breakroom donuts. Work isn’t exactly the easiest place to practice your faith.

Thank God It’s Monday(?) tackles the 24 (give or take) most common conflicts between faith and work — told through stories of how the author usually did the opposite of what he should’ve done, then found his way back through Scripture. Equal parts confession and field guide, it’s the handbook you pull out after a frustrating email or a hard conversation with your boss, with practical, Christ-centered takeaways for making your workplace better — even when you’re the one who needs the most work.

Who it’s for: Christians navigating office politics and difficult coworkers, anyone who’s tried (and failed) to be the “perfect Christian” at work, and readers who want faith-and-work encouragement that doesn’t take itself too seriously.

— When Hope Comes: A Christian Bible Study on the Book of Ruth — Discovering God's Character, Redemption, and Your True Identity in Christ

Discover God’s Redemptive Heart in the Book of Ruth

Step into one of Scripture’s most tender love stories — a tale of famine, loss, and unlikely rescue set against the backdrop of ancient Israel. When Hope Comes walks readers through the Book of Ruth verse by verse, uncovering a God who steps directly into the wreckage of ordinary lives and turns tragedy into legacy.

You’ll meet Naomi, Ruth, and Boaz not as distant biblical figures but as a family enduring grief and displacement much like our own. Through their story, Donna Aust reveals how God’s providence, hidden in the smallest human choices, ultimately paves the way for the lineage of King David — and for Jesus Christ himself.

What You’ll Discover

• How God works through famine, exile, and loss to bring redemption

• The historical and theological context behind Ruth’s story

• What true kindness (chesed) reveals about God’s character

• How Ruth’s identity transformation points to our own identity in Christ

• The thread connecting Ruth’s story to the coming of the Messiah

Who This Book Is For
Ideal for women’s Bible studies, small groups, and personal devotional time, When Hope Comes blends theological depth with practical application. Readers drawn to Old Testament Bible studies, biblical womanhood, grief and redemption narratives, or the lineage of Christ in Scripture will find a rich, guided journey through this often-underexplored book of the Bible.

Why Readers Love It
Written by a former corporate trainer turned Bible teacher with a heart for mentoring women, this study pairs academic grounding (an M.A. in Theological Studies) with warmth and accessibility — making deep biblical scholarship feel like a conversation, not a lecture.

“Donna has plumbed the depths and captured the heart of this amazing part of God’s Word. It’s wonderful!” — Ron Hutchcraft, life issue speaker, author, and radio host

— Raised With Christ: How the Resurrection Changes Everything — #1 Best Seller in Easter Books, Adrian Warnock's Guide to the Apostles' Resurrection Theology (Transformed by Jesus: Spiritual Renewal, Book 1)

#1 Best Seller in Easter — Why the Resurrection Deserves More Than a Sunday Mention

Do you believe in the resurrection of Jesus — but live like it doesn’t change much? Adrian Warnock did too, until he noticed something unsettling: the Apostles didn’t preach the cross alone. They preached the resurrection, over and over, as the hinge of the entire gospel.

Raised With Christ is Warnock’s answer to years of sermons (his own included) that stopped short of resurrection’s full weight. Drawing on Scripture and classic theological voices, this book walks readers through what it actually means to be “raised with Christ” — not as a doctrine to affirm once a year at Easter, but as a daily reality that reshapes identity, hope, and how believers face death itself.

What You’ll Discover:

• Why the early church centered the resurrection, not just the crucifixion

• What “raised with Christ” means for your identity and daily life right now

• How resurrection hope changes the way believers grieve, fear, and hope

• A theologically grounded, accessible framework for understanding Easter’s full implications

Who This Book Is For:
Perfect for believers preparing for Lent or Easter, small groups wanting deeper resurrection theology than the usual seasonal devotional, pastors looking to enrich their Easter preaching, and any Christian who senses there’s more to the resurrection than they’ve been taught.

Part of the Transformed by Jesus: Spiritual Renewal series — a 3-book collection exploring how core gospel truths reshape everyday faith.

With a 4.4-star rating and #1 Best Seller status in the Easter category, Raised With Christ has already resonated with readers looking to move past surface-level Easter reflection into something that actually changes how they live.

Get your copy today and rediscover what the resurrection was always meant to mean.

Two men are chasing Phina. It’s happening in the rainforest of Northern British Columbia, where the air stays heavy under the trees even in winter.

Snow Monarch isn’t a chase story, though — not really. It’s set where cliffs meet ocean along the Pacific Northwest coast, in a landscape that feels remembered more than described.

Phina marries a detective and thinks that’s where the danger ends. It isn’t. The suspense stays close through the whole book, but so does something underneath it: faith, forgiveness, the pull of family. None of it announced or preached.

writes with real emotional weight here — trust building slowly against suspicion, the way it actually does in life, not in a single dramatic scene. If you want faith on the page without a sermon attached, this book is for you!

Good fit for readers who like clean romantic suspense set somewhere specific, or Christian fiction that trusts them enough not to explain itself.

— Faith That Shows Up in Real Life

writes Bible studies for people who want their faith to work somewhere other than Sunday morning — in garages, at kitchen tables, on the job, and in the middle of real schedules. His studies pair honest, story-driven reflection with practical daily steps and built-in resources for families and small groups.

Built to Last — A 6-Week Journey Through the Book of Ephesians

Most of us understand houses better than holiness. We know foundations matter, shortcuts cost more later, and neglect turns small problems into expensive ones.

Built to Last walks through Ephesians using one familiar metaphor — building a house — to explore what it takes to build a faith that lasts. Structured like a construction project, the six-week study moves step by step from the Blueprint (identity, purpose, and grace) through the Level, the Tape Measure, the Connections, and the Toolbox, all the way to standing firm in the armor of God. Each day includes Scripture, reflection, practical application, discussion questions, and prayer, with Leader Guides and group resources in the back.

It’s not a study about trying harder or checking religious boxes — it’s about building wisely, with the right foundation, the right tools, and the right plan. And it’s especially for the reader who feels unqualified, unfinished, or unsure where to begin: God already paid the cost. No deposit required.

Faith With Work Boots On — A 7-Week Journey Through the Book of James

A devotional for the people James actually wrote to — workers, parents, coaches, and anyone who wants their faith to show up in everyday life. Faith With Work Boots On takes you through James in 7 weeks with a daily format built for real schedules: Scripture, honest reflection, a practical step, and family dinner table questions for discipleship at home. Includes a full Leader Guide for small groups, men’s groups, and church classes.

Who Maury’s books are for: Christian men and women looking for practical, real-life Bible studies on Ephesians and James; small groups and men’s groups wanting ready-to-use curriculum; and families looking to bring discipleship to the dinner table.

— pastor, missionary, and writer shaped by the Jesus Movement of the 1970s.

Trip serves with Poimen Ministries, a team of pastors devoted to strengthening pastors and their churches. His life's focus is discipleship, mentoring, and equipping leaders for ministry. He posts weekly devotionals and Bible studies at tripkimball.com and word-strong.com, and is also the author of The Mystery of the Gospel, Stories of Redemption, and Glimmers of Light in the Darkness of Life.

What does it truly mean to live in the Kingdom of God — not someday, but today?

Jesus didn’t preach the Sermon on the Mount as a list of rules to tighten our grip on morality. He preached it as a declaration — a vision of the heart and soul of God’s Kingdom, present now, wherever God reigns. In The Heart and Soul of God’s Kingdom, pastor and longtime Bible teacher Trip Kimball walks readers verse by verse through Matthew 5-7, unpacking what Jesus actually meant when He redefined what it means to belong to Him.

This devotional Sermon on the Mount study unfolds across three volumes and thirty-seven chapters, exploring four major themes:

• How Jesus Redefined the Kingdom

• True Religion and True Faith

• A True Way of Life

• True Wisdom

Each volume is broken into two parts, making this an ideal resource for daily personal devotions, small group Bible studies, or a season of focused spiritual growth. Kimball writes with the clarity of a pastor who has spent decades discipling others across cultures — in Southern California, the Philippines, and now Florida — bringing pastoral warmth and theological depth to one of the most quoted, and most misunderstood, passages in Scripture.

Whether you’ve read the Sermon on the Mount a hundred times or are encountering it fresh, this study invites you past the surface-level moral lessons and into the deeper reality: the Kingdom of God is personal, spiritual, and available now, to anyone reborn into it by faith.

Rated 4.9 out of 5 stars on Amazon and 5.0 on Goodreads (34 ratings) — readers consistently praise its depth, clarity, and devotional richness.

Perfect for: personal devotions, small group and Sunday school studies, pastors preparing sermon series, and anyone hungry to understand the Kingdom of God as Jesus described it.

— Sacrificial Love: The Marriage I Didn't Say I Do To

Sacrificial Love collects the testimonies of husbands and wives who lived through the marriage they didn’t expect — the silent seasons, the shattered expectations, and the slow, costly work of covenant love. Rooted in Ephesians 5:25 and the sacrificial example of Christ, this book reframes marriage not as a romance to be sustained but as a calling to be endured, refined, and ultimately celebrated.

Each testimony pulls back the curtain on what long-term Christian marriage actually looks like — not the altar moment, but the thousand ordinary moments after it where grace has to show up or everything falls apart.

Who it’s for: Married couples in crisis or transition, newlyweds wanting a realistic biblical foundation, long-married spouses navigating disconnection, and small groups or marriage ministry leaders looking for testimony-driven curriculum.

— Christ in You: Experiencing Intimacy with Jesus

A lot of Christians believe the right things about God. Far fewer experience Him in the ordinary moments of daily life.

Christ in You explores the indwelling presence of Christ — not as theological concept but as lived reality. Through Scripture, personal story, and the lens of Christian spiritual formation, Gary York walks readers into the central truth of the gospel: Jesus doesn’t just save you and step back. He moves in. He stays. He intends to live through you, moment by moment.

This is for the believer who does everything right and still feels the distance.

Who it’s for: Christians seeking deeper intimacy with God, readers drawn to spiritual formation, discipleship, and contemplative faith, and anyone who wants more than doctrine — they want presence.

— The Sacred Journey: How Do I Go On After Loss — A 40-Day Christian Grief Devotional with Daily Scripture, Prayer & the Adaptive Grief Response™ Method

Losing someone — a spouse, a parent, a child, a marriage, a dream — doesn’t follow a schedule, and healing shouldn’t be rushed either. The Sacred Journey is a 40-day Christian grief devotional written to walk beside you, one day at a time, through the ache of loss toward the steadiness of grace.

Rev. Dr. Carolyn Treadwell-Butler draws on years as a pastoral counselor and spiritual director to guide readers through her original Adaptive Grief Response™ model — a framework that honors grief as sacred, not something to “get over.” Each of the 40 days includes:

• A Scripture-rooted devotional reflection

• A guided prayer

• A “Sacred Pause” practice for slowing down and processing

• Grounding truths to anchor you when grief feels disorienting

Whether you’re grieving the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, or the loss of a life season you weren’t ready to let go of, this devotional is for you!

Perfect for:

• Individuals walking through grief, day by day

• Grief support groups and small groups

• Pastoral care, chaplaincy, and hospice ministry settings

• Gifting to someone who has recently experienced loss

You are not alone in this. The Sacred Journey offers a steady, compassionate companion for the road — Scripture, structure, and grace for every step.
