Created to Draw Near: Our Life as God’s Royal Priests (Edward T. Welch)
You are a royal priest.
That Reality Will Change Your LifeHuman beings are wired for connection. We long for deep relationships and real intimacy—both of which reflect our fundamental desire to be close to God. But all too often, whether because of our sin or our failures, we imagine that God prefers to keep his distance.
In this book, Edward T. Welch shows us the purpose for which we were created: to be brought near to God as a kingdom of priests. He traces the priestly identity throughout the entire Bible, showing us how holiness leads to closeness to God. Through the blood of Jesus, God extends his invitation for all to draw near with open arms. And in his presence, we discover what it means to be truly human: known, unashamed, and wise, full of meaning, purpose, and abundant life.

Helping Children with Shame (Edward T. Welch)
Shame is the experience of feeling unacceptable, less than others, or different. Children often experience the sting of this particular sense of failing to measure up. Whether this heavy feeling comes from internal or external pressures, children need help to understand what to do with their feelings of inadequacy and rejection.
Counselor and author Edward T. Welch helps counselors and parents see how shame is addressed in Scripture and how the Lord looks on struggling children with compassion and acceptance. He demonstrates how to connect a child’s story of shame to the themes of Scripture so that a child can put words to his or her experience and see that Jesus knows our name, clothes us with dignity, and gives us his reputation.

Blame It On the Brain? (Edward T. Welch)
Distinguishing Chemical Imbalances, Brain Disorders, and Disobedience
Depression – ADD – Alcoholism – Homosexuality – is it really legitimate to say that “mental illness” is the source behind these? Or some other inclination of the mind, planted at birth by forces beyond our control? Are we making creative excuses for our disobedience to God?
Attempting to view the mind by an examination of what Scripture says about it, author Ed Welch shows us that some matters are rooted in the tastes of one’s heart. Perhaps some habits can actually be broken if we learn to think differently with a renewed mind.

Side by Side: Walking with Others in Wisdom and Love (Ed Welch)
Everyone needs help from time to time, especially in the midst of painful circumstances and difficult trials. In this short book, a highly respected biblical counselor and successful author offers practical guidance for all Christians—pastors and laypeople alike—who want to develop their “helping skills” when it comes to walking alongside hurting people.
Friends are the best helpers, and this book is grounded in that idea. Welch shows believers that most of us are already equipped to bear one another’s burdens through gentle words of wisdom and kind acts of love. God uses ordinary relationships and conversations between ordinary Christians in your lives, more than that of “professionals.” Using nothing more spectacular or exceptional than each other, God works extraordinary miracles in our lives.
