Side by Side: Walking with Others in Wisdom and Love (Ed Welch)
$12.75$14.99
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.

Endorsements
“The task of counseling is the task of loving others well. This book will help you to know what the love of Christ looks like, how to extend it to others, and how to accept it from others as you live in relationship together.”
Heath Lambert, associate pastor, First Baptist Church of Jacksonville; executive director, Association of Certified Biblical Counselors; author, A Theology of Biblical Counseling and Finally Free
“There are two things that Welch’s book does very well. It demonstrates that no one gives grace better than a person who is convinced he needs it himself and that God makes his invisible grace visible by sending ordinary people to give extraordinary grace to people who need it. Welch not only reminds us all of our call to friendship ministry but also unpacks for us what it looks like. Every Christian should read this book!”
Paul David Tripp, president, Paul Tripp Ministries; author, What Did You Expect?
“Welch builds a vision of a Christian community that moves beyond platitudes and empty promises to deep, scriptural, Christlike relationships. You will find this book to be a helpful primer on how to ask for and provide help in the midst of an age of separation.”
Elyse M. Fitzpatrick, counselor; speaker; author, Found in Him

Love or Die: Christ’s Wake-Up Call to the Church (Alexander Strauch)
$11.50In this challenging exposition of Revelation 2:2-6, Strauch examines this alarming rebuke of Jesus Christ to his church. Part I of the book reminds us that “an individual or a church can teach sound doctrine, be faithful to the gospel, be morally upright and hard-working, and yet be lacking love and therefore, be displeasing to Christ.” Love can grow cold while outward religious performance appears acceptable–even praiseworthy.

True Community: The Biblical Practice of Koinonia (Jerry Bridges)
$12.75In True Community, best-selling author Jerry Bridges guides you through koinonia and its implications for today’s church. With discussion questions at the end of each chapter, this book will help you dig deeper into what Christian community in the twenty-first century should look like. You will come away with a new appreciation for fellowship, the church, and what God intended the body of Christ to be.
The word “fellowship” has become so watered down in our Christian culture, it no longer carries anything near the weight of intimate meaning it conveyed to the 1st-century Christian. But there is no reason that, 2000 years after the book of Acts, the depth of relationship meant by koinonia can’t be realized in our relationships. It is the inheritance of the body of Christ, from our Savior’s work.
When fellowship is understood as a ministry of caring shared between all of us, it can make your church a life-changing blessing.
