The human heart was created with a great capacity to love. But along with that comes a great capacity to feel pain. There is no denying that those who love us, who are closest to us, can wound us the most profoundly. That kind of pain can be difficult, if not impossible, to overcome. And it can feel even more impossible to continue loving in the face of it. Yet that is exactly what we are called to do. Sharing his own story of personal pain, pastor and New York Times bestselling author Jentezen Franklin shows us how to find the strength, courage, and motivation to set aside the hurt, see others as God sees them, and reach out in love. Through biblical and modern-day stories, he discusses different types of relational disappointment and heartache, and answers questions such as Why should I trust again? and How can I ever really forgive? The walls we build around our hearts to cut us off from pain are the very walls that block us from seeing hope, receiving healing, and feeling love. Here are the tools and inspiration you need to tear down those walls, work through your wounds, repair damaged relationships, and learn to love like you've never been hurt.

First-century Corinth is a city teeming with commerce and charm. It’s also filled with danger and corruption—the perfect setting for Ariadne’s greatest adventure. After years spent living with her mother and oppressive grandfather in Athens, Ariadne runs away to her father’s home in Corinth, only to discover the perilous secret that destroyed his marriage: though a Greek of high birth, Galenos is the infamous thief who has been robbing the city’s corrupt of their ill-gotten gains.

"Believe me, my wife and I wrote the book on how not to have a marriage. We took our vows after being together for only four months, were without faith, and had no clue about what this marriage union and covenant really meant. Soon after our first child was born, we were fighting like the worst of enemies. Eventually, as with so many marriages, we were divorced. Within the next few years, we hit our lowest point, but through looking for foundations of truth, our lives were changed through faith in Christ. We soon were remarried, had two more children, and began on a path to understand the keys to love, marriage, and faith. As we began to see the true purpose of marriage and the strains and struggles couples face when they don't understand this purpose, it became evident it was time to write a book that points to a biblical marriage. Our marriage was full of insecurity, jealousy, anger, frustration, lack of trust, and without direction. All of this led us to look to God and His leading as we fought for a successful marriage." This 30-day devotional is aimed at revealing the promises we found in God's Word. These promises are fulfilled as we reflect Him daily as two who have become one, sacrificially living for one another and dying to self. This book reveals theological truths, exposes common struggles, and provides practical applications. Marriage is the first ministry a spouse has after his or her walk with Jesus, and our goal is to strengthen that foundation as you humbly open yourselves to God's Word, letting Him speak to you as He pastors your walk ahead.

How to grow in love for your church. God calls us to be "devoted to one another in love" (Romans 12:10). What does this look like for us today? How can we be the kind of church member who makes a real difference? This engaging book by Tony Merida explores what church is, why being part of it is exciting, and why it’s worthy of our love and commitment. He sets out eight privileges and responsibilities of a church member: to belong, to welcome, to gather, to care, to serve, to honour, to witness and to send. As we see how wonderful it is to belong to God’s family and be a part of his amazing witness to both the earthly and the heavenly realms, we’ll grow in our love for and commitment to our local church. This is a great book for every churchgoer to read, whether they’re new or have been attending for some time but need re-energising with God’s vision for the local church. With a discussion guide at the end of the book, Love Your Church is also a great resource for small groups.

No one ever said fatherhood would be easy, but sometimes the rollercoaster ride of parenting can be a bit overwhelming. Whether it's misinterpreting a child's family portrait, enjoying a homemade Sunday morning breakfast, arguing with a moody teenager, or simply watching the kids skipping through the rain, fatherhood is full of ups and downs. In his new book Love Never Fails, Patrick T. Reardon, author of the popular Daily Meditations (with Scripture) for Busy Dads and Starting Out, offers a collection of reflections based on the daily occurrences of fatherhood. He celebrates the joys of parenting while acknowledging the sometimes exhausting antics of kids, and in the end shows how a father's love truly never fails. The reflections in Love Never Fails are accompanied by an inspirational quote from Scripture, music or literature, and a link to a website with practical advice on the issues discussed in the reflection. It's a wonderful gift for fathers of all ages and experience levels.

A smart samurai once wrote, “More than anything, you must set your heart on strategy and earnestly stick to the way.” Strategy is a policy or plan on how to approach situations. It is a line of attack with the ultimate goal of improvement. At the heart of two-thousand-year old Christianity and the teachings of Christ is a divine love extended toward us that we are to emulate. It is one of the few explicit portrayals of God’s very nature. It, like God, is infallible, perfect, and foolproof. It is a plan on how to think that never fails.
