Andy Stanley Books & Studies

One of America’s most beloved pastors, Andy Stanley is a graduate of Dallas Theological Seminary and the founding pastor of North Point Community Church in Atlanta, Georgia. He and his wife Sandra live in Atlanta Georgia with their sons Andrew and Garrett and their daughter Allison.

Not In It To Win It is a relatable and practical resource that guides readers by focusing on the priorities of Jesus, even as we are navigating the complicated and emotionally-charged terrain of today's cultural divides and hot-button disagreements. Rather than viewing Christianity through the filter of partisanship, Andy challenges readers to evaluate all of life through the wide-angle lens of faith.

Jesus called his followers to obey a new command, to love others in the same way he has loved us. Instead of asserting our rights or fighting for power, we are to ask ourselves: what does love require of me? Don't settle for winning a game that God isn't playing. Instead seek to live in a way that your life makes a difference for others, showcasing the love of God to the world.

From dealing with colicky newborns to temperamental teens, every parent wonders if they're getting it right! The Stanleys are no exception. With years of experience, they've created this conversational, informative guide that includes learning the four stages, clarifying your primary goal, adapting your approach---not your rules---to individual personalities, and deciding on a shortlist of non-negotiables. 240 pages, hardcover from Zondervan.
