Presents three classics by author John Eldredge that challenges and encourages readers to rediscover the lives God intended for them to have.

The voice catches us off guard, whether in the middle of the day or the dead of night. It is the voice of God, wooing our hearts with words that seem too good to be true. Listen to me—there is something missing. You long to be in a love affair, a great adventure. You were made for more. You know it. Yet another voice, often louder, competes for our attention. The Message of the Arrows has assaulted us since childhood. The enemy knows if he can get us to lose heart, we will lose everything. How are we to make sense of these terribly opposed messages? The Sacred Romance pulls the curtain back on the cosmic drama that God’s been weaving since before time began. In this updated companion to the book, you will discover: How your current life is far too safe compared to the larger story God has for you; How to know God as the Great Romancer and embrace his love for you; How the enemy tries to destroy you through the Message of the Arrows; and How to enter into and remain in the Sacred Romance with Jesus. The Sacred Romance Workbook is a guided journey filled with questions, exercises, journaling ideas, and explorations of the arts that will lead you into the very heart of God.

Find the peace, purpose, and connection you crave by slowing down, asking questions, and deepening your relationship with God or discovering it for the first time. We have lost touch with our hearts. In the pursuit of efficiency, success, and the busyness of our lives we have only been left with emptiness and longing. If you're feeling lost, disconnected, wounded, broken, or if your heart just aches for something more, you’ve come to the right place. In The Sacred Romance, bestselling authors John Eldredge and Brent Curtis invite you to join them as they explore the greatest love of our lives: a relationship with the God who pursues us. The Sacred Romance will guide you through the journey of getting to know yourself and your creator better, asking you: What is this restlessness and emptiness I feel, sometimes after years into my Christian journey? How will my spiritual life touch the rest of my life? What is it that is set so deeply in my heart, that will not leave me alone? When did I stop listening to God’s leading? The Sacred Romance is a journey of the heart. It is a journey full of intimacy, adventure, and beauty that will guide you to your fondest memories, greatest loves, noblest achievements, and even deepest hurts. But the reward is worth the risk as you enter into God’s story and accept His invitation to experience His unfathomable love.

Traditional mainline churches have been in decline for fifty years as their church energy continues to seep away. What are the options to regain vitality? Pastor Luecke thought for years that better administration was the answer. But the problem is deeper. Our Reformation heritage left us with a very weak practical theology of the Holy Spirit, confining him mostly to the Creeds. We don’t have a hands-on understanding of how he makes a difference in church life today. We can find that by appreciating how central the Spirit was to Paul’s leadership. This collection of Reflections comes in two parts. The first highlights how the Spirit works today, based on Paul’s insights. It outlines how personal growth in the Spirit can happen. Church leaders cannot take others to where they personally have not been before. The second part is organized around Martin Luther’s explanation of the four functions of the Holy Spirit. He calls, gathers, enlightens and sanctifies God’s people. The Spirit is the leader of ministry teams. We need to learn how to follow.

Equipped to Tell the Next Generation bridges the gap between knowing and sharing our faith in Jesus by revealing areas of our beliefs and practices which have been syncretized with twenty-first-century American culture: relative truth, consumerism, pleasure, an independent spirit, the victim mentality, and the culture of doubt. These go to the heart of who we are and keep Christians from telling people about Jesus in winsome ways. This book provides the solution: recover the holiness of God, his ultimate characteristic, which holds all his characteristics in perfect unity. Rather than legalism, genuine holiness is the highest beauty which produces wholeness because it balances holy love, holy righteousness, repentance of sin, peace, and respect for all people and all of God’s creation. When we meet a holy God, we want to worship and to serve him because the beauty of holiness touches the very essence of our being. It becomes our greatest desire to please him because of the deep love we find there, a holy love unlike what the world offers. This book will take you on a journey to recover the things compromised to culture and will equip you to tell the next generation about Jesus.
