Book SynopsisNew York Times bestselling author John Eldredge offers readers a breathtaking look into God’s promise for a new heaven and a new earth.This is a revolutionary book on heaven built on a very simple idea: heaven is not the eternal church service in the sky. It is, in fact, not religious at all. Jesus referred to the next chapter of our story as “the renewal of all things” (Matthew 19:28). Meaning, literally, the renewal of the earth we love in all its beauty, the renewal of our own being, and all those things which make for a rich life—music, art, food, laughter, all that we hold dear—shall be renewed.Most Christians (most people for that matter) do not really look forward to their future because their views of heaven are vague, religious, and appallingly boring. Hope begins to surge when we understand that for the believer nothing is lost. Heaven is not a life in the clouds; it is not unen

Book SynopsisWe live in an unprecedented time that has threatened to upend our daily rhythms, our work, our homes - even our faith. More than ever, we need books like Reflections on the Sunday Gospel to stir us to hope, to comfort, to peace. We need to remember what we live for and how good God is. These reflections - published in English for the first time, drawn both from homilies given by Pope Francis and readings from the Fathers of the Church, including Saint Augustine, Saint Jerome, and Saint Ambrose - do more than offer a way to enter into the liturgical year with weekly readings to enrich your devotional time. They offer Christ, and the power of his resurrection. They offer his words of assurance: ''I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world''.Ultimately, as Pope Francis guides us through these timeless words, we will glean how even the giants of the fa

Book SynopsisEverywhere we look in the letters of Paul we encounter ‘in Christ.’ But how many of us know why the Apostle Paul uses this expression—or ones like it—over and over again in his letters? What is so important about being in Christ? Is it possible that when Paul talks about inChristness, he is handing us a set of keys that will open up his letters and reveal what is most essential to living the Christian life? In these 100 devotional readings, we discover why inChristness is so important and how to live an in–Christ life.Trade ReviewUnderstanding the meaning and significance of our new identity as believers in relationship to Jesus Christ is the number one concern of the Apostle Paul in his letters. Deep prayerful reflection on these key elements of life in Christ will transform you from the inside out. -- Clinton E. Arnold (Dean and Professor of New Testament, Talbot School of Theology (Biola University), La Mirada, California)I cannot remember the last time I read a book on union with Christ and was so convicted that I stopped and prayed. Without compromising biblical and theological depth, Berding unveils the innumerable ways union with Christ makes a real difference in the Christian life. -- Matthew Barrett (Associate Professor of Christian Theology, Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, Kansas City, Missouri )Dr Berding is at his best in this book, bringing us to the fundamental truths of Scripture and applying them to our lives with relevancy for Christians at all levels of maturity. -- Kyle Fox (Lead Pastor, Red Mountain Community Church, Meza, Arizona)Theologically rich, yet intensely practical; I felt as if Ken were providing me with a set of ‘in Christ’ lenses through which to view every facet of my life. I will revisit this book often to refocus my gaze on Christ, and all that is true of life in Him. -- Jeffrey Bruce (Lead Pastor, Creekside Community Church, San Leandro, California)

Because he knew God, he feared him, even as he communed with him. He was humbled, and he desired, above all, to serve the Savior faithfully. These excerpts point us in the same direction—to the mighty God who communes with his people by his Spirit to the glory of Jesus Christ. -- Jonathan Master (President, Greenville Presbyterian Theological Seminary, South Carolina)

Book SynopsisLearn to rest in God’s help and strength for every one of your inadequacies. Let these Scripture-filled reflections remind you that Jesus loves you, even in your weakness. You can rely on the strength of God in any challenge you face. Trade Review “Emily’s invitation to embrace our weakness because God is strong will give you hope and encouragement for life’s most challenging circumstances. Her personal stories and reflections along the way are a gift to any reader!”—Ruth Chou Simons, Wall Street Journal bestselling author, artist, and founder of GraceLaced “When we feel weak and insufficient, it’s tempting to try to overcome our lack of power by working harder. Or perhaps we give up altogether and claim the impossibility of moving forward in our weaknesses. Thankfully, Emily Jensen’s new devotional book, He Is Strong, gives us a better option. With refreshing honesty and biblical wisdom, Emily turns our eyes away from ourselves and onto Jesus—the One who is able to give us strength when we are weary and courage when we are fearful.”—Melissa Kruger, author and director of women’s initiatives for The Gospel Coalition “To believe that even in our deepest inability—in our abject weakness—God still loves us and is in fact for us is, in my estimation, the greatest desire of the human heart. In He Is Strong, Emily Jensen rehearses the strong grace of Christ available for the weakest of believers like you and me. Full of refreshing transparency and clear biblical application, these devotions will strengthen your soul and stir your affections for Jesus.”—Jared C. Wilson, pastor, professor, and author of Love Me Anyway “For every woman who feels beset with weakness, utterly aware of her need for strength beyond herself, He Is Strong offers time-tested wisdom to fortify the weary soul. Emily Jensen’s writing wraps the reader with a comforting hug of encouragement and leads with a guiding hand to the source of strength—Jesus Christ. This devotional will be a staple on my nightstand, serving as a constant reminder to accept my weakness as an opportunity to experience God’s strength.”—Gretchen Saffles, best-selling author of The Well-Watered Woman, founder of Well-Watered Women “‘I am weak, but He is strong.’ More times than I can count over the years, I have awakened with that refrain running through my mind. To this day, whenever I feel overwhelmed with a sense of my weakness and inadequacy, that sweet chorus I learned as a child infuses my heart with fortitude and grace. The truth of His unassailable strength and love will do the same for you, as Emily so beautifully reminds us in this book.”—Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth, author and founder of Revive Our Hearts “In a culture that prizes strength and prowess, Emily Jensen extends a biblical and welcome invitation to acknowledge our weaknesses in the presence of Christ—the only One who is all-powerful. With theological grounding and practical and poignant insights from her own life, she welcomes her reader to lean on Christ, who knows our weaknesses (and embraces them) better than we do ourselves.”—Amy Gannett, founder of Tiny Theologians and author of Fix Your Eyes “He Is Strong invited me to humbly consider my weaknesses while leaning into Christ's strength. With engaging stories and Scripture woven throughout, this devotional will encourage the fainthearted with the hope of their strong, steadfast God.”—Hunter Beless, founder of Journeywomen and author of Read It, See It, Say It, Sing It! “We are small. We are finite. We are weak. There is no shame—and in fact there is great benefit—in simply admitting what is so demonstrably true. For it is when we admit our weakness that we can turn to God for his strength. That is the theme of this lovely series of reflections, which will bless all who are enduring a period of difficulty, a season of sorrow, or a time of trial. You will learn that you have a powerful Father whose heart is inclined toward you and whose hand is stretched out to bless and strengthen you.”—Tim Challies, author of Seasons of Sorrow
