What is the secret to the revival of the church? The spiritual restoration of America? How can you renew your own relationship with God? It's prayer! But not your everyday "now I lay be down to sleep" kind of prayer. It is prayer that storms the gates of Heaven until things change. It is passionate, heartfelt, "I won't let you go until you bless me" pleading until you get an answer.

In The Daniel Prayer, bestselling author Anne Graham Lotz unpacks the ancient prayer of Daniel, a prayer that moved heaven and changed a nation, to help you unlock a powerful pattern for your prayers today.

Rejection often finds its way into our hearts at an early age. Perhaps as a child you were teased mercilessly for your hair or clothes, or you received an injury and couldn't play the sport you loved and had to watch from the sidelines, or maybe like Lysa TerKeurst, an adult who should have cared for you and nurtured you, left without explanation. These wounds dig deep into our sense of self, and can resurface in surprising ways as an adult. However, this doesn't have to be the end of the story.

In Uninvited, Lysa shares honestly from her own struggles with rejection and gives readers concrete truths to combat the lies our old Enemy hurls our way. You can stop feeling left out, because even when you are overlooked by others, you are handpicked by God. You can change your tendencies to either fall apart or control the actions of others by adopting healthy ways to process your hurt. You are designed for a love without limits, a love that will never let go.

Noteworthy: This author is one of a special group of women who writes for (in)courage, the popular online friendship community. Every day they take turns pulling up a chair to share their stories of what Jesus looks like in their every day, gloriously ordinary, and often messy lives.

Slow down for a moment and hear the call to joy. Jesus longs for you to rest in His presence.

The difficulties of life can often sap the joy out of our hearts, but Jesus longs for us to know His contentment regardless of our circumstances. Jesus Always, a new 365 day devotional by Sarah Young, focuses on joy, a sometimes overlooked fruit of the Spirit, to give readers hope and assurance in the familiar voice they've come to love. Each day's reading offers Scripture references for further reading and encouragement. Features a padded hardcover binding, a presentation page, and a ribbon bookmark, perfect for gift-giving.

Even though Pastor Laurie is considered a "gospel-presenting professional," he has plenty of stories to share of his successes and failures. Gleaned from over 40 years in ministry---in both one-on-one experiences and large-scale stadium events---these biblically based evangelism strategies are intended to encourage and inspire you to tell others about Christ. A condemnation-free approach! 112 pages, hardcover from B&H.

Challenging society's beliefs in the "secular gods" of atheism, scientism, relativism, and others, Zacharias and Vitale skillfully point out the fallacies in their claims. Presenting compelling evidence for absolute truth as found in the Bible, they help you articulate why Jesus is who he said he is and defend the claims of Christ to others. 224 pages, hardcover from Faithwords.

Shame tends to wrap itself around our hearts like a net that can be hard to untangle. Wounds from childhood such as bullying, abuse, or divorce wreak havoc on our souls. But you can break free from these traps by clinging to God's truth, dropping the baggage and living your destiny to the fullest.

In Unashamed, Christine Caine shares that, in order to change the future, you have to believe that God is bigger than your mistakes, inadequacies, past, and limitations. As one who has been there, she helps women find freedom from believing they are fundamentally flawed and unworthy of acceptance, and prepares them to step into their future, confident, dearly loved, created for a divine purpose, and empowered to be shame-lifters for others.

In Living with God's Courage, an 8-session study based on Sarah Young’s bestselling book Jesus Calling, readers will explore how to live with courage, give thanks to God in all situations, put Jesus first in everything, and dwell in God’s perfect peace. Includes readings from Jesus Calling, selected Scripture and Bible Study questions, and daily reflection questions. Designed for use in personal, small-group, or classroom settings.

Brokenness doesn't only find us in the big things--things like illness, hardship, or grief. It also finds us in the everyday stinging moments when we feel forgotten, or under-appreciated by our loved ones, or sense the inevitable change years of living has marked on our hearts. We are fragile and we know it. Sometimes, living with Christ in a messed-up world feels less like victory and more like walking uphill. How do we walk in a way that both glorifies Jesus and bears witness to our weakness?

From the best-selling author of One Thousand Gifts comes an impassioned message: We are desperately loved by Jesus just as we are, and his love compels us to be broken open for others! You'll be deeply encouraged by Voskamp's thoughts on how God takes flawed and imperfect sinners, redeems us, and makes us useful in his kingdom.
