A Little Theology of Exercise explores how stewarding our bodies can serve the soul, honor God, and bless others. Combining biblical texts with practical guidance, pastor and author David Mathis encourages listeners to embrace modest exercise as a way to deepen their knowledge and enjoyment of Christ and then reflect his love in the world. By placing Christ at the center of physical training, listeners will discover a greater joy in exercise and an even deeper joy in their relationship with God.
Chosen by God by Dr. R. C. Sproul is a contemporary classic on predestination, a doctrine that isn’t just for Calvinists. It is a doctrine for all biblical Christians. In this updated and expanded edition of Chosen by God, Sproul shows that the reformed doctrine of predestination doesn’t create a whimsical or spiteful picture of God, but rather paints a portrait of a loving God who provides grace and redemption amidst sin for radically corrupt humans.
Faith, Hope, and Love in a Time of Loss
After a loved one dies, each day can be a struggle. But each day, God’s comfort and promises remain new. Faith, Hope, and Love in a Time of Loss: A 90-Day Devotional Through Grief by Katrina Larson offers brief, one-day-at-a-time doses of guidance and healing. Each entry is grounded in faith, hope, and love to shed the light of God on your losses and laments. Inspired by the grief of losing her mother, Larson wrestles honestly with grief and hope. Her biblical reflections will accompany and guide you through pain while pointing to God’s promises.
Leviticus on the Butcher’s Block
Books about Leviticus are rare. If one were to be found, chances are it was written by a scholar, sitting in a study, surrounded by books and cats. No bulls. No lambs. Not a goat in sight. This book is different. This book is written by a butcher. And because it’s written by a butcher, it offers a unique insight into the sacrificial world of Leviticus. Having studied Leviticus, ancient sacrifice, and atonement for so long, Phil’s friends have taken to calling him a "Leviticus nerd.” Although Leviticus can be a tough book to chew through, the practical, hands-on experience of a butcher helps a lot. Leviticus on the Butcher's Block helps demystify Leviticus and make it accessible—maybe even fun! Readers should tie on their aprons, sharpen their knives, and get ready to experience Leviticus through the eyes of a butcher.
