A Merry and Bright Adventure 

by Katie J Trent

With all of the exciting sights, sounds, and smells of Christmastime, it can be hard to get children to focus on the real reason for the season: the birth of Jesus. But let’s face it: all of us can get caught up in the hustle-bustle of planning for family gatherings, decorating, and shopping for gifts. Author Katie J. Trent offers a solution to the mad rush of Advent with A Merry and Bright Adventure: A Christmas Devotional for Family, Faith, Food, and Fun.

This unique family devotional will help you discover new ways to enjoy the season with Jesus at the center of it all. You’ll grow in your relationship with Jesus – and each other – as you learn the history behind holiday traditions and discover Jesus in everyday moments.

Advent for Exiles 

by Caroline Cobb

Do you long for a more honest, imaginative, and Scripture-rich companion for the Advent season? A devotional willing to acknowledge the darkness of exile and the brokenness you see around and within, so you might rejoice more fully in the arrival of Jesus, the Light of the World?

In Advent for Exiles songwriter and storyteller Caroline Cobb weaves together scripture readings, song lyrics, poetic prose, biblical imagery, and responsive exercises

Little Christmas Carol

by Joe Sutphin

Enjoy Charles Dickens’ beloved masterpiece, freshly imagined within an enchanting woodland realm.

In 1843, Charles Dickens penned a story – a classic Christmas tale full of ghosts and the endearing humbug Ebenezer Scrooge. That story – which has captivated readers for over 150 years – is now accompanied by the delightful illustrations of Joe Sutphin. With charming woodland characters and settings that families will adore, readers will be transformed by Little Christmas Carol. A tale of greed, regret, loneliness, reflection, compassion, hope, and a joyfully changed life, this beautifully illustrated edition will enliven the timeless classic for readers young and old.

When Santa Learned the Gospel

by Simon Camilleri

An original Christmas fable about when Santa first learns about Jesus’ message of grace. Unexpectedly, Santa finds himself on his own spiritual and philosophical journey full of humour, self-reflection, wonder and redemption.Complemented by the beautiful and engaging illustrations of Matt Boutros, this book hopes to inspire many a conversation about faith, philosophy and the messages of Christmas, between adults and children alike.

One Year Book of Hymns 

by Robert Brown

“Shout with joy to the Lord, all the earth! Worship the Lord with gladness. Come before him, singing with joy.” Psalm 100:1-2 NLT. For centuries in the Christian church, hymn singing has been an integral way of expressing our deepest praise to our Creator. Hymns allow us to pour out the grateful feelings of the heart in worship – feelings awakened by the experience of forgiveness and the gracious work of the Holy Spirit. In this beautiful deluxe edition of The One Year Book of Hymns, join the chorus of believers throughout church history and throughout the earth to worship Christ. With each day, this one year devotional will invigorate and encourage your faith with classic hymn texts and the stories of faith behind them, including favorites like: ”I Need Thee Every Hour”, ”Abide with Me”, ”Take My Life and Let it Be”, ”It is Well with My Soul”, ”O Love that Will Not Let Me Go”, ”The Old Rugged Cross”. The enduring legacy of God’s work in the lives of these faithful writers leads us to worship our Saviour anew for the glorious mercies within our own.

Present in Prayer 

by Jennifer Tucker

Do you notice that even when your body is not moving, your mind is racing? Anxiety, to-do lists, and the spiral of negative thought patterns often keep us from the stillness we long for. In Present in Prayer, award-winning author Jennifer Tucker invites you to allow the Holy Spirit to speak through God’s Word and renew your mind through the practice of Christian meditation.

As in her first book, Breath as Prayer, Tucker shares a powerful prayer practice in this beautifully illustrated book that is deep yet accessible with 30 meditations

Everyday Gospel 

by Paul Tripp

365 daily devotions by bestselling author, Paul David Tripp, follow a Bible-in-a-Year reading plan. Christians know that daily Scripture reading is an essential spiritual discipline. But sometimes opening the Bible day in and day out can feel like a burden rather than the joy and gift that it is. Spending a few minutes reflecting on the truths found within God’s word can strengthen your faith, help you resist sin, and inspire you to live for the eternal, unshakeable kingdom of God. In the Everyday Gospel devotional, Paul David Tripp provides a roadmap for readers who want to spend a full year in God’s word. 

Becoming New

by  Warren W Wiersbe

With theme-based daily readings focused on spiritual transformation, this all-new devotional curated by Warren Wiersbe’s grandson offers a 100-day journey through Scripture, helping readers not only understand God’s Word but live it out in the power of the Holy Spirit.

 A transformative journey through the arc of Scripture, Becoming New invites us to experience a deepened connection to God’s Word, a greater sense of purpose, and a stronger relationship with the Holy Spirit.

Gospel Mom

by Emily A. Jensen & Laura Wifler

If there’s one thing moms love, it’s a formula. Give us the three-step process, the instruction manual, the straightforward solution for how to mother with excellence and we’ll give it our best shot.

But we all know motherhood isn’t that simple. Each decision seems to present a thousand overwhelming options, or our circumstances suddenly change and we can’t keep up with “the plan,” or we see another mom making different choices and begin to doubt our own.

All of this leaves us questioning our decision-making in motherhood.

So how can we find a secure identity in motherhood and know we’re “good” before the throne of God? By understanding the gospel story and how all of scripture applies to our lives. We need more than just to know what to do.

We need to know who to be. Join Emily and Laura as together you explore what it truly means to be a gospel mom, a woman who is renewed by Christ’s righteousness, knows her mission and purpose, and lives free from guilt and unhealthy comparison.

As friends, fellow moms, and expert guides, Emily and Laura walk you step-by-step through the practices and thinking of how to rest in the grace of Christ, gaining peace and assurance in your motherhood.
