Most people don't expect you to understand what we're going to tell you in this book. And even if you understand, they don't expect you to care. And even if you care, they don't expect you to do anything about it. And even if you do something about it, they don't expect it to last. We do.

Written when they were 18 years old, Do Hard Things is the Harris twins’ revolutionary message in its most compelling form, giving readers a tangible glimpse of what is possible for teens who actively resist cultural lies that limit their potential.

Combating the idea of adolescence as a vacation from responsibility, the authors weave together biblical insights, history, and modern examples to redefine the teen years as the launching pad of life and map a clear trajectory for long-term fulfillment and eternal impact.

Written by teens for teens, Do Hard Things is packed with humorous personal anecdotes, practical examples, and stories of real-life rebelutionaries in action. This rallying cry from the heart of revolution already in progress challenges the next generation to lay claim to a brighter future, starting today.

More than two million Christians around the world have revitalized their prayer lives through the step-by-step plan of prayer outlined in this book.

In this special 25th anniversary edition of The Hour That Changes the World, Dick Eastman also extends an invitation for believers everywhere to help form continuous walls of prayer in their communities - saturating neighborhoods and nations with nonstop, focused intercession.

Whether you join a wall of prayer or simply apply the twelve-points plan, this book will utterly transform your prayer life. As Joni Eareckson Tada writes in the forward, "Through these pages the Lord Jesus catapulted me into a whole new dimension of joy . . .

Charles Colson

ISBN: 9780310219149

In this magnificent classic, Chuck Colson shakes the church from its complacency with a penetrating look at the cost of being Christian.

For those who have wondered whether there isn't more to Christianity than what they have known - and for those who have never considered the question - Loving God points the way to faith's cutting edge. Here is compelling, probing look at the cost of discipleship and the meaning of the first and greatest commandment - one that will strum a deeper, truer chord within even as it strips away the trappings of shallow, cultural Christianity.

Stanley Tam

ISBN: 9781600663406

"I believe tenaciously in the possibility of a man linking his life to God. i believe this to be the only truly good life, the kind of life within the grasp of every man, if he will simply and honestly endeavor to meet God's conditions."

For Stanley Tam, those conditions entailed formally and legally signing his business over to God. To say that he has met with success thanks to this decision would be a significant understatement - Stanley Tam's businesses are large and profitable, giving well over a million dollars to missions annually.

However, this is more than just a book about a successful businessman. God Owns My Business is the chronicle of how an average person can, with God's guidance and a willing heart, succeed in any endeavor.

May encouragement and renewal come to your own quest for the good and full life as you read God Owns My Business.

Welcome to the Front Lines

Everywhere we turn , battle lines are being drawn-traditional marriage vs. gay marriage, pro-life vs. pro-choice, personal freedom vs. governmental protection. Seemingly overnight, culture has shifted to the point where right and wrong are no longer measured by universal truth but by popular opinion. And as difficult conversations continue to inject themselves into our lives, Christians everywhere are asking the same question:

How are we supposed to respond to all this?

• Do we resign ourselves to pessimism, convinced our society has collapsed?
• Or do we reassure ourselves with optimism, confident we will win the culture war?

• David Platt shows us a better way: realism and rjsk.

In this revised and updated edition of Counter Culture, David Platt provides a gospel perspective on issues such as poverty, abortion, sex trafficking, and racism, as well as the legalization of same-sex marriage, the controversial transgender issue, and the overwhelming refugee crisis. Drawing on compelling personal accounts from around the world, Platt presents an unapologetic yet winsome call for Christians to faithfully follow Christ in an anti-Christian age in ways that will prove both costly and rewarding.
