The Trivial Life (Jason S. Lancaster)
$12.50$14.99
Why does your life and my life often trend toward that which is trivial? Because the default mode of the human heart is bent toward triviality. Unless intentional action is taken, you are always going to lean in the direction of pursuing that which is trivial.
But what if there were some kind of work-around, intentional reset, or deliberate action on your part to move away from triviality to a life of meaning and purpose? Here’s the good news—you are not destined to live a life of futility but a life of consequence as you engage the critical aspects of life on a day-to-day basis.
God is not a trivial God, nor did He create humans for a life of triviality. He has intervened through the person of Jesus Christ who came to restructure your life from the inside out. Now, through faith in Jesus, you can live a God-consumed life in all that you do to the glory of the Father.

Never more connected, we seem to be growing more distant. Never more efficient, we have never been more distracted.
Drawing from the insights of numerous thinkers, published studies, and his own research, writer Tony Reinke identifies twelve potent ways our smartphones have changed us—for good and bad. Reinke calls us to cultivate wise thinking and healthy habits in the digital age, encouraging us to maximize the many blessings, avoid the various pitfalls, and wisely wield the most powerful gadget of human connection ever unleashed.

Procrastination: First Steps to Change (Walter Henegar)
$5.49“I’ve been procrastinating most of my life. If a task is even remotely unpleasant, my tendency is to put it off. It’s not that I’m lazy; I’m actually very busy. I just wait as long as possible to do the really hard stuff.” This is how author Walter Henegar describes his life. Does it sound like your experience? If so, this booklet will help you see procrastination from God’s point of view, and show you how to change.
Author Walter Henegar recognizes that even though procrastination is acceptable in our culture, it is a deeply rooted sinful pattern in our lives. Only by God’s goodness and grace can our hearts be changed. Do you procrastinate? Do you doubt that you can change? Ask God to change you, and trust that He is able to do it.
