Leaving Ordinary by Donna Gaines
The deepest longing of the human heart is to know and be known by God.
God longs for an intimate relationship with us as well. But how do we
develop that kind of relationship with a holy God? It is one thing to
long for such a relationship, but quite another to experience intimacy
with Him. In Leaving Ordinary, Donna Gaines shares from her
personal experience how prayer can become the channel that links the
believer’s heart to the heart of God.
God gave the pattern of the tabernacle to the Israelites. It was a temporary and portable dwelling for His glory. Through it God taught them how to approach and worship Him before He led them to their reward—the promised land. Using the tabernacle and its articles as a guide, Donna teaches readers how to interact with God in that secret place of true intimacy that leads to worship. Your ordinary daily practice of prayer can become an extraordinary encounter with the living Lord. Leaving Ordinary is essential reading for anyone who desires to enter into and experience the reality of God’s presence.

Living "So That" by Wendy Blight
In today’s
world, it’s tough to make everyday decisions, let alone decisions that
honor God. Our culture is increasingly driven by selfish desires.
However, as Christians, our lives should not be self-centered and
static; they should be others-centered and active, making a difference
for the Kingdom of God.
Living "So That" is a fresh approach to understanding God's Word, focusing on many of the powerful "so that" verses in Scripture, including Jesus Came So That. . .; God Spoke So That. . .; Pray So That. . .; Trials Come So That. . . . Through her approachable style, personal examples, and biblical teaching, Wendy equips readers to take what they study in the Word of God and practically live it out in order to impact the world around them. The result is a renewed appreciation for the power and applicability of Scripture. Through practical examples and biblical truths, Wendy helps readers gain a new perspective on daily living, equipping them to apply these biblical truths to present-day decision-making.

Amazed and Confused by Heather Zempel
Most
people have prayed for something or someone in earnest, seeking God’s
will, only to be left confused by God’s response. Sometimes we ask, “Why
would a good God allow bad things to happen to good people?” In Amazed and Confused, Heather Zempel tackles this question head-on by exploring the book of Habakkuk.
When the prophet Habakkuk prayed that God would bring change to the backsliding nation of Israel, this issue came to the forefront. Habakkuk begged God for revival and that He would turn the hearts of faithless people back to Him.
God’s answer to Habakkuk was, “Take a look at the nations and watch what happens! You will be shocked and amazed” (1:5, The Voice). The vision God gave Habakkuk was one of warfare and exile. How do you respond when God answers your prayers in a way that seems out of line with his character and promises?
Amazed and Confused proceeds systematically through the book of Habakkuk, exploring the prophet’s prayer, God’s response, and the prophet’s journey from confusion to worship. This interactive Bible study is the perfect choice for those who are hurting and confused about God’s responses to their prayers.

interactive Bible study. Delving into the book of Ephesians, Dive Deeper
is a tool for women—those who might be satisfied and content with their

Over time, Jenifer learned to do just that. Her unique methods are shared in this one-of-a-kind study. Dive Deeper takes readers by the hand and jumps with them into the exhilarating waters of Bible study.
