More Than Ordinary:  Enjoying Life with God

by Doug Sherman

Are you experiencing more of the joy and abundance Jesus promised, or less?  Many people suffer a stale, lackluster relationship with God yet think of themselves as doing well spiritually.  Tragically, they don't know what they're missing.  In More Than Ordinary, author Doug Sherman invites us to make life with God an adventure, in which we see Him as walking alongside us in each circumstance and problem we face.  We learn to enjoy His presence in everything we do.  Developing that mindset can transform our entire approach to daily life and change our relationship with Him from dull to delightful.  An excellent book because it's so personal and practical.  (Navpress, 2011)

The Resolution for Men

by Stephen and Alex Kendrick

The Resolution for Men is an inspiring book born out of COURAGEOUS, a film that was released a few months ago by the makers of Fireproof.  The movie, which presents a powerful story of strong male leadership, is an emotionally charged wake-up call to fathers whose influence upon their children and society is immeasurable.  The Resolution for Men challenges men of all ages to become as bold and intentional about embracing their responsibilities as leaders of their homes, marriages, and children (B&H, 2011)

Dwell

by Aaron Keyes

Keys, who is worship pastor at Grace Fellowship Church in Snellville, Ga., believes, without reservation, that the Word of God is central to worship, and this is the constant in his music that sets him apart.  "We want to shift what worship leading looks like," he says, "from worship leaders simply leading songs to worship pastors leading people to knowing God better, to resting our hearts in Him, to expressing our hearts to Him - physically, instinctively, fully, expressively...not just emotion, passion, and excitement, but to declare the promises of God in the Bible with reverence and orthodoxy."  A great new worship album that's biblically rich and musically interesting.
