Tired Of Trying
$17.99
What if that hard thing you’re going through is not happening to you but for you?
You’ve tried it all-saying the right words and prayers, reading the right Bible verses-but nothing seems to work. What do you do when your faith doesn’t seem to be “working” anymore?
Ashley Morgan Jackson is no stranger to this kind of spiritual exhaustion and discouragement. Much like the biblical character Jacob, Ashley wrestled with God, trying desperately to keep trusting Him despite her pain. It was here she found that sometimes God requires us to hold on to Him so we can let go of everything holding us back.
Rich with biblical encouragement, personal story, and practical application, Tired of Trying is an invitation to wrestle-and face God in your greatest fears, pains, and unanswered questions. You’ll learn to:
*break out of the cycle of frustration by saying yes to wrestling;
*identify the lies you are believing about God, yourself, and your circumstances and replace them with truth;
*shift your perspective so you can choose faith, persevere, and discover God’s purpose for you.
Choosing to wrestle isn’t easy or quick-but it does have purpose. What seemingly tears us down may be an opportunity to grow. God is good at redeeming heartache. When we reach the place where the only choice is to run to God or run from Him, we can hold tight . . . because transformation and blessing will come.

Simply Christian: Why Christianity Makes Sense
$17.99Christian scholar and Anglican bishop N. T. Wright’s best-known work, written in the tradition of C. S. Lewis’s Mere Christianity but for today’s generation–a rigorous and mind-expanding explanation of the essence of Christianity and why people believe–is available in paperback for the first time.
For two thousand years, Christianity has claimed to answer the mystery of human existence. Renowned biblical scholar and Anglican bishop N. T. Wright–the award-winning author Newsweek hails as “the world’s leading New Testament scholar”–argues that the Christian faith still holds the answers today.
Like C. S. Lewis did in his classic Mere Christianity, Wright makes the case for Christian faith for modern readers, whether you are a believer, an agnostic, schooled in a different spiritual tradition, or are a skeptical atheist suspicious of organized religion. Using clear, simple language to convey a profound message, he walks you through the Christian faith step-by-step and question by question, and reveals how basic inquiries such as Why is justice fair? Why are so many people pursuing spirituality? Why do we crave relationship? And why is beauty so beautiful? take us into the mystery of God and his plan for us and leave believers with a reason for renewed faith.
Provocative and insightful, with a discussion guide for individuals and groups, Simply Christian offers answers to expand and guide all of our lives.
