Synopsis Skydiving with Jesus by : Chad Brown
Abraham left his hometown for a promise. Moses parted the Red Sea. Joseph saved his family and the country. David conquered Goliath. Elijah rode out on a chariot of fire. Peter walked on water. We may think these stories are crazy, yet Scripture is filled with them. The beauty is that these stories didn't stop 2000 years ago. They continue to this day, because the same God that lived and breathed within these men, still exists and He lives and breathes within believers around the face of this world today. Did you catch that? Can you imagine sitting down around a campfire and talking to these men at the end of their lives and saying, "Hey, tell me what that was like when you saw God move." To your surprise they just look at you and say something you can't believe, "You can have the same experience, the same type of God story as I do." In this book Chad and I want to challenge the ordinary, push you to your limits where all you can do is trust that God is greater than your circumstance and fear. We want to see young and old come to life, and truly start living out what the Christian Life is all about. Written in a way to make you feel like we are sitting right there talking with you, going through this life together. Hope you like it and prepare yourself to go on a journey that only God can author. To live a life that other's can't believe, and when you are sitting on your back porch, you are now the one being asked, "Tell me what was it like to see God move! This book is a 31 day journey that can be used as a journal. There are questions at the end of every chapter to help you interact with what you have just read. Life is a journey and when you have moved from fear to audacious faith in Jesus, it is never boring.

Synopsis Traveling Mercies by : Anne Lamott
NATIONAL BESTSELLER • From the acclaimed author of Bird by Bird comes a personal, wise, very funny, and “life-affirming” book (People) that shows us how to find meaning and hope through shining the light of faith on the darkest part of ordinary life. "Anne Lamott is walking proof that a person can be both reverent and irreverent in the same lifetime. Sometimes even in the same breath." —San Francisco Chronicle Lamott claims the two best prayers she knows are: "Help me, help me, help me" and "Thank you, thank you, thank you." She has a friend whose morning prayer each day is "Whatever," and whose evening prayer is "Oh, well." Anne thinks of Jesus as "Casper the friendly savior" and describes God as "one crafty mother." Despite—or because of—her irreverence, faith is a natural subject for Anne Lamott. Since Operating Instructions and Bird by Bird, her fans have been waiting for her to write the book that explained how she came to the big-hearted, grateful, generous faith that she so often alluded to in her two earlier nonfiction books. The people in Anne Lamott's real life are like beloved characters in a favorite series for her readers—her friend Pammy, her son, Sam, and the many funny and wise folks who attend her church are all familiar. And Traveling Mercies is a welcome return to those lives, as well as an introduction to new companions Lamott treats with the same candor, insight, and tenderness. Lamott's faith isn't about easy answers, which is part of what endears her to believers as well as nonbelievers. Against all odds, she came to believe in God and then, even more miraculously, in herself. As she puts it, "My coming to faith did not start with a leap but rather a series of staggers."

Synopsis Conversations With Colton by : Julie Catania-Shady
Life is just a series of short stories, and every decision you make becomes part of your story. When in the moment, will you choose faith over fear or fear over faith? It's an easy question to answer when you aren't in the "storm" but a huge question when something near and dear to you is in jeopardy. Like many girls do, Julie dreamed of becoming a mommy. She dreamed of a perfect life for and with her child. After suffering a miscarriage and a cancer diagnosis, finding out she was pregnant was an incredible miracle. But what happened next put her faith to the test, more so than the previous trials. How do you keep having faith when you are caught in a "storm?" Conversations with Colton will explore just that! Colton survived despite what doctors said, and conversations with him have made all the fear, faith, and doubt that got to this moment 100 percent worth it. 21

Synopsis How to Believe Your Way to Supernatural Faith by : Chris Cree
Unbelief is the single biggest barrier to experiencing the supernatural in the Kingdom of God. For example, scripture tells us Jesus could do no mighty works in His hometown because of the people’s unbelief. When His disciples could not heal a man’s son, Jesus later told them unbelief was the reason for their challenge. Fortunately, each of us has the ability to change what we believe. The more our beliefs line up with the truth of God’s word, the more effective our faith becomes. How to Believe Your Way to Supernatural Faith addresses these topics and more: What Truth Is The Truth About Sin The Importance of Covenants The Value of Hope What Faith is Why You Don’t See More Miracles

Synopsis Everybody Is Wrong About God by : James A. Lindsay
A call to action to address people's psychological and social motives for a belief in God, rather than debate the existence of God With every argument for theism long since discredited, the result is that atheism has become little more than the noises reasonable people make in the presence of unjustified religious beliefs. Thus, engaging in interminable debate with religious believers about the existence of God has become exactly the wrong way for nonbelievers to try to deal with misguided—and often dangerous—belief in a higher power. The key, author James Lindsay argues, is to stop that particular conversation. He demonstrates that whenever people say they believe in "God," they are really telling us that they have certain psychological and social needs that they do not know how to meet. Lindsay then provides more productive avenues of discussion and action. Once nonbelievers understand this simple point, and drop the very label of atheist, will they be able to change the way we all think about, talk about, and act upon the troublesome notion called "God."
