The Deconstruction of Christianity
By Alisa Childers, Tim Barnett & Carl R. Trueman
Tyndale House Publishers
A ground-breaking book on the true nature of faith deconstruction.
A movement called ‘deconstruction’ is sweeping through our churches and it is affecting our loved ones. It has disrupted, dismantled, and destroyed the faith of so many, and this book can help you not only understand what’s happening but also stand your ground and respond with clarity and confidence.
In this seminal book, Alisa Childers, author of Another Gospel?, and Tim Barnett, creator of Red Pen Logic, will help you understand what deconstruction is, where it comes from, why it is compelling to some, and how it disorients the lives of so many. You will be able to think through the main issues around faith deconstruction and explore wise and loving ways to respond from a biblical worldview.

By Timothy Beals

When you’re going through a season of grief, it’s hard to fathom that there will be a day when you won’t be hurting. Throughout Scripture we are taught to humble ourselves and love one another because empathy is born from loving our neighbour. If you’ve ever experienced loss, you’re able to help others turn their grief into grace and create hope and purpose from what feels devastating and heartbreaking.
When Grief Goes Deep, Where Healing Begins is a devotional that helps those mourning. The collection of devotions and prayers warmly offers inspiration and hope based in God’s Word and his promises to those who have experienced loss. Each devotion includes a Scripture verse and a prayer for healing.
Love the Ones Who Drive You Crazy
By Jamie Dunlop
Crossway
Loving Those at Church Who Are Hard to Love. Churches are full of differences. Those differences might be rooted in culture or personality or even musical style. In recent years, differences over political and social issues have frayed the unity of many churches. Yet if a church is centered on Christ alone, then unity at church will sometimes require building genuine friendships that bridge across all those differences. How can Christians navigate those relationships? Can they really love people at church who sometimes drive them crazy? This practical guide explores eight truths from Romans 12–15 that show us how to find God-exalting unity at church with those we struggle to love.
Love the Ones Who Drive You Crazy is a roadmap to finding joy in Christ through the many differences we have with fellow believers, a joy that powerfully declares the glory of God. Because easy love rarely shows off gospel power.

Thankfully, Spirit-filled sight isn’t reserved for the spiritually elite. It’s available to all of us through a simple, intimate prayer: “Jesus, how do you see this?” When you see as Jesus sees, you’ll be empowered.
