Chase the Lion is more than a catch phrase; it’s a radically different approach to life. It’s only when we stop fearing failure that we can fully seize opportunity by the mane. With grit and gusto, New York Times best-selling author Mark Batterson delivers a bold message to everyone with a big dream. This is a wake-up call to stop living as if the purpose of life was to simply arrive safely at death. Our dreams should scare us. They should be so big that without God they would be impossible to achieve.

You Can Hear God's Voice Today You may have read where Jesus said His sheep would hear His voice. You've longed for God to interact with you like the people you've read about in the Bible. Perhaps you've experienced how the Holy Spirit speaks to you through the logos text of Scripture. But maybe you're not as confident about the miracle it is to hear God through biblical rhema words, those whispers of the Spirit that believers can still hear today. Glean from the experiences of biblical listeners like Elijah, Deborah, Mary, Peter, and more. Let these heroes of the faith to step down off ...

Are you waging a private war—against yourself? You're not alone. The goal in war is to win—but what if in this war, the only way to win is to surrender? It's strange, isn't it? We desire God’s peace yet cling to the illusion that we’re in control. We hunger for righteousness but continue to indulge the cravings of our flesh. We long for love while refusing to be open and vulnerable. We can be our own worst enemy. So, how do we relinquish control and surrender to God? The Way of the Shepherd explores the sources of our internal war and the Biblical solutions that bring genuine peace....

As a follow-up to his best seller The Irresistible Revolution, Claiborne issues a radical manifesto on Christian political imagination—that our hope lies not in partisan options but in Jesus and the incarnation of the church as "set apart" from this world. A thoughtful and lyrical examination of the relationship between faith and allegiance for modern-day saints.

Don’t you just want to be happy? Why does it seem so hard sometimes? Perhaps we struggle to consistently live with joy because we do not consistently live with purpose. God made you for a specific reason, and until you embrace his mission for your life, the roller coaster ride of emotions will just keep going. Happiness, purpose, and freedom are available, but it all depends on intertwining your good with God’s glory. God’s plan for our joy is not tied to life events but to the life of Christ. Intertwined is meant to dust off the cobwebs of the most profound phrase ever given to ...

"My purpose for writing and publishing this material in book form is the same as for producing my two previous books of this nature, Studies in First Peter and Studies in Ephesians (both by The CRA, 2017 & 2020). As the subtitle for each of them says, “Lessons for Personal and Group Study”; and that is my intention for this volume. You can use it to deepen your own understanding of this section of the Bible, or you can use it to teach a group larger than just yourself. I am hoping you will start with the former, and then proceed to the latter. This book is especially designed as a ...

Using seven key sentences drawn straight from the Old Testament, he connects the dots and points us toward Jesus.

"You will remember that Volume 1 covered the first eight chapters of Romans, and you will notice that this volume covers the last eight chapters. The dividing point between chapters eight and nine is very convenient from the publishing point of view (i.e., two fairly even volumes), but it is also logically and theologically appropriate. In a real sense, the first eight chapters of Romans could form a stand-alone theological unit. It is a wonderful essay on the essential doctrine of grace.The last eight chapters, however, could not very well stand alone. In several ways they grow out of the ...

In this crazy world it can seem like God is far off or indifferent. His failure to act makes no sense. Why do some people prosper and other people suffer? By unpacking each chapter of Habakkuk, Miller helps us see that when life is shaking you like a leaf in a storm, you can hold on to the unshakeable God who controls the storm. Listen in on a perplexed prophet’s intense interchange with God himself. In the face of injustice and violence, Habakkuk cries out, “WHY?” Journey with the prophet • from confusion to confidence • from frustration-driven questions to faith-filled ...
