In a culture that insists women must choose between two extremes—become a “girl boss” or embrace a “tradwife” ideal—many find themselves longing for something deeper. Neither path fully answers the yearning for purpose, wisdom, and a life aligned with God’s design. Lead Like Jael offers a better way. Drawing from the lives of Jael, Deborah, Sarah, Esther, Mary, and other heroines of the Bible, Emma Waters presents a compelling vision of womanhood rooted not in ideology, but in wisdom, faithfulness, and joyful submission to Jesus Christ in every season of life.

In 1997, Atlanta businessman Os Hillman began writing a daily e-mail devotional featuring 4-minute meditations on faith and work life.

Throughout Billy Graham’s evangelical ministry, his roles as an evangelist and as “America’s pastor” have been well documented. However, the story that remains untold is the story of his leadership - both publicly and in private - as a minister and as a CEO. For more than fifty years, Graham was CEO of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association (BGEA) and oversaw its worldwide gatherings and diverse media divisions.

In this book, J. Gresham Machen argues that Christian faith is a “thoroughly reasonable” response - worked in the believer by the power God - to the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. He distinguishes between a trusting faith in Christ and a commitment to “the principles of Jesus.”

This little volume of Biblical quotes—arranged for people with busy lives—was designed as a practical guide to working through daily challenges by following God’s Word. It shares the result of a lifetime’s worth of scriptural study and reflection. Holm grouped her quotes into three sections: Statements of Truth, Divine Commands, and Divine Promises. She recommends starting each morning by choosing a Truth to contemplate, a Command to obey, and a Promise to lean on throughout the day.

There are three types of people when it comes to the future: those who will watch what happens, those who will make it happen, and those who will wonder what happened. Which will you be? Our society has widespread and unprecedented access to information, but what do we do with it all? Who do we trust to accurately track our societal trends, interpret them, and see possibilities for the future - and how can we help to shape that future? The answers lie in Futurecast, an insider glimpse of today’s world - and tomorrow’s.

You will rediscover the high and privileged calling of deacons and come to a better understanding of what God requires of them.

"Wenn wir erleben wollen, wie sich unsere Träume erfüllen, wie wir das Beste aus unserem Leben herausholen und wie sich Gottes Gunst in unserem Leben ausbreitet, sollten wir uns Gedanken über den Inhalt unserer Worte machen. Denn die Worte, die wir über uns und unser Umfeld aussprechen, definieren schließlich die Richtung, die wir in unserem Leben einschlagen. Sprich deshalb vom Sieg, von Gottes Größe und dem, was Gott über dich denkt." Dieses Buch soll dich motivieren, wieder oder zum ersten Mal wirklich zu sehen, zu glauben und davon zu träumen, was Gott alles mit dir bewegen möchte.

The Christian life can be daunting, especially in a world hostile to the ways of God. But the good news is that the God who calls us to be holy has also appointed helpful means so that we can grow in godliness. In Holy Helps for a Godly Life, Richard Rogers shows what the means of godliness are, describes their nature, and explains how they should be used.

From the psalmist's assertion that no one in heaven or earth is like God, George Swinnock derives his principal doctrine namely, God is incomparable. Throughout The Blessed and Boundless God, he proves his doctrine by demonstrating God's incomparableness in His being, attributes, works, and words. Swinnock is a pastor-theologian who views theology as the means by which we grow in acquaintance with God and, consequently, in godliness.
