Joy Beyond Agony
Embracing the Cross of Christ, A Twelve-Lesson Bible Study
A devotional commentary ideal for small group discussion and study. Jesus endured the cross in anticipation of the joy set before him: victory over Satan, sin, and death, and union with his glorified redeemed. Now he calls us to follow him with crosses of our own. What does this mean?
Each of the twelve lessons in Joy Beyond Agony explores one aspect of Jesus’ cross through Bible study, application questions, commentary, testimonies, and hymns. Our familiarity with the crucifixion narrative can cause us to miss its deep teaching. Learn what the cross shows us about our Savior and the paradoxes of Christian living, and discover the hope and joy it gives us as we face life’s struggles and uncertainties.

Prone to Wander: Prayers of Confession and Celebration (Barbara Duguid & Wayne Houk)
$12.50“We have left undone those things which we ought to have done; and we have done those things which we ought not to have done.” But what are “those things”? Why do we confess them? The purpose of confessing our sins is not simply to remind us what great sinners we are, but rather to point us to the great Savior we have.
In a new book inspired by the Puritan classic The Valley of Vision, this volume provides specific prayers of confession in response to particular Scripture passages. They are ideal for use in church or in personal devotions.
