On our best days, we feel God's love in a huge way. We shine brighter, laugh harder, live without worry or fear of the future--and we passionately love others without judgment. Because when God's love floods our lives, we have no choice but to let it radiate throughout the day. But how about on the hard days, when we aren't feeling it? How are we supposed to reflect God's heart when we feel stuck in the seemingly never-ending dullness of the day-to-day? In this life-changing book, Cleere Cherry Reaves reveals how to stay in God's presence and radiate joy through every day and every circumstance. Offering fresh perspective on topics such as childlike faith, vulnerability, the refining process, laying down worries and fears, and the value of hospitality, Radiate shares the many ways that God's Word unlocks the door to a life filled with peace, trust, love, and light. With its uplifting message, the downcast and the discouraged can live lighter in the present, fully trusting the One they belong to as His joy and love shine through them once more.

The Knowing the Bible series is a new resource designed to help Bible readers better understand and apply God’s Word. Each 12-week study leads participants through one book of the Bible and is made up of four basic components: (1) Reflection questions designed to help readers engage the text at a deeper level; (2) “Gospel Glimpses” highlighting the gospel of grace throughout the book; (3) “Whole-Bible Connections” showing how any given passage connects to the Bible’s overarching story of redemption culminating in Christ; and (4) “Theological Soundings” identifying how historic orthodox doctrines are taught or reinforced throughout Scripture. With contributions from a wide array of influential pastors and church leaders, these gospel-centered studies will help Christians see and cherish the message of God’s grace on each and every page of the Bible. In this accessible study, pastor and author Greg Gilbert examines the message of James, exploring the book’s difficult teachings on wealth, anointing with oil, prayer, healing, and the relationship between faith and works. Through clear exposition of the biblical text and challenging application questions, Gilbert helps readers rightly understand James as a stirring exhortation to fruitfulness, ultimately written to remind Christians of the necessary connection between genuine faith and heartfelt obedience.

Member Book provides personal study segments and includes 6 weeks of homework with additional helps such as maps, timelines, and word studies.
