Drawn Together Under Fire (E.A Bland)
Who could guess that the poverty-stricken brother and sister in their mud-floor hut would one day be the instruments of care for the well-to-do squire? In this world of haves and have-nots, one thing remains unchanged: when Death knocks at your door, it matters not whether your floor is made of mud or gold.
This compelling story, with its contrasting characters and settings, brings all of humanity under the same roof to grapple with universal questions of love, fear, and most importantly, faith. Just as the Father made the sun to rise on the evil and on the good, so too did He send His Son to save anyone who calls on the name of the Lord to be saved.

What to Do With Worry: Why Playing God Never Works (Olan Stubbs)
Everyone knows what it feels like to worry. But one of the clearest and repeated things the Bible tells us about worry is: Don’t. Don’t do it. It’s not worth it. It doesn’t work. And, oh yeah, by the way, it’s sin. And it’s not just a lighthearted, white collar, domesticated sin. It’s serious business. It’s deadly. It’ll ruin your life…and your eternity if you let it.
This short book is designed to help us understand worry all the way down to its roots and all the way up to its worst fruits. We want to see worry the way God does so that we can repent and by His grace be fully and finally free. We will never move past all sin and temptation in this life. But by the blood of Christ, we can see progressive and sustainable victory over sin in our lives.

Brave by Faith: God-Sized Confidence in a Post-Christian World (Alistair Begg)
What does it look like to live with joy in a society that does not like what Christians believe, say, or do? It’s tempting to grow angry, keep our heads down, retreat, or just give up altogether. But this isn’t the first time that God’s people have had to learn how to live in a pagan world that opposes God’s rule. In this realistic yet positive book, renowned Bible teacher Alistair Begg examines the first seven chapters of Daniel to show us how to live bravely, confidently, and obediently in an increasingly secular society.
Readers will see that God is powerful and God is sovereign, and even in the face of circumstances that appear to be prevailing against his people, we may trust him entirely. We can be as brave as Daniel if we have faith in Daniel’s God!

The Stranger at our Shore (Joshua Sherif)
A gripping tale of escape from Egypt, The Stranger at Our Shore is the true story of one young man’s journey out of Islam into new life in Christ. Through his remarkable testimony, Chicago pastor Joshua Sherif calls the Western Church to reconsider the plight of the modern day sojourners in our land—the strangers at our shore and the ones living right next door—and to return wholeheartedly to its first charge: making disciples.
The book examines three ways believers harden their hearts towards the stranger and suggests three practical remedies to help us begin casting a wider net for discipleship in our communities. Though any reader will be captivated by the powerful story, any believer will walk away from this book feeling less intimidated and better equipped to disciple people who are different than them.

The Forgotten Fear: Where Have all the God-Fearers Gone? (Albert N. Martin)
The fear of God is an important theme in the Bible, yet many Christians today overlook it or treat it carelessly. Fearing God is the soul of godliness, and those who claim to love God should desire to understand what it means to fear Him.
In The Forgotten Fear, seasoned pastor Albert Martin revisits this important topic. First, he establishes the theme of the fear of God in both the Old and New Testaments, and then defines what fearing God means.
Finally, he addresses the practical implications of fearing God, showing its expression in the lives of Abraham and Joseph and providing instruction for believers today to maintain and increase their fear of God.

Why Do We Say Good Night? (Champ Thornton)
In Why Do We Say Goodnight, parents can bring comfort and encouragement to their children, reminding them Jesus is near. Going to bed and turning out the light can be a hard time for many children.

As a mother and her little daughter talk, they remember together that God made the night, he sees in the dark, and he watches over them just like a shepherd protects his sheep.

When I Am Afraid (Sally Michael)
Children often have fears of things both real and imagined. Things that go “bump” in the night, big dogs, being in a strange place and even climbing to the top of the monkey bars can produce anxiety in children.
Simply telling a child “not to be afraid” is most often ineffective. So how are you guiding them to handle those fears? Children need the confidence that there is someone bigger, stronger, and wiser than themselves who will protect and care for them.

Pleasing People: How not to be an “approval junkie” (Lou Priolo)
Full of Scripture and challenging to the reader, Pleasing People takes aim at a problem common in all of us: the desire to be liked by others. But the book also wisely delineates when pleasing people is biblical. The penetrating exercises throughout the text will help readers see how this sin manifests itself in their lives. Useful for both personal reading and for group study.
Do you worry what other people think of you? Do you avoid conflicts rather than trying to resolve them? Are you afraid to share the gospel because you fear being criticized or rejected?
When we long for the approval of men over the approval of God, we are not only neglecting God but also replacing him with a cheap substitute. Our pride drives us to value our reputation, fear rejection, and ultimately forfeit the peace of God that comes from standing up and suffering for the truth.

Putting Away Fear (Sally Michael)
It can be a despairing thought for a child to think that he must live with fear the rest of his life. Dealing with the same futile thinking that leads to fear that controls and limits him is living in an endless cycle of defeat. Efforts to bolster the child’s self-confidence end in dismal failure. Though we can teach and encourage that child, we are helpless to change a fearful heart.
True change can only come through the empowering grace of the Holy Spirit who can turn a child’s heart away from self-interest and self-reliance to confident faith in the almighty, unchanging, wise, and loving God. This booklet can also be used simply as instruction about fear and the biblical response to the temptation to be fearful.

The Two Fears: Tremble Before God Alone (Chris Poblete)
Most Christians will agree that we ought to love our God. But what about fearing God? The Bible says that “the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom” (Proverbs 9:10), yet a broad survey of modern evangelicalism reveals that the fear of God is hardly regarded as such anymore. Many Christians seem to wrongly assume that the gospel of grace trumps the fear of the Lord. However, it is only the God of the gospel that is truly worthy of our reverential fear.
The purpose of this book is to equip Christians with a healthy view of fearing God and to illustrate how it reconciles with the gospel of God’s grace to sinners.

With helpful, practical guidance, experienced counselor Jocelyn Wallace helps you understand the roots of your anxiety and to see how Christ meets you in your struggle and provides everything you need to begin to address it.
