God designed us with a specific set of talents. As with the parable that Jesus told in Matthew 25, some of us are given one talent, and others five. So how do we make the most of all the gifts God has given to us? In this liberating, powerful first book from up-and-coming pastor and speaker Mike Kai, readers will learn how to identify the talents they have, develop them to God's full plan and purpose, and avoid the trap of the comparison game, which only brings shame and guilt.

What the Bible Reveals About Heaven

Daniel A. Brown

Many Christians wake up in the morning with a sense that something just isn't quite right - a feeling that they haven't quite done enough, prayed enough, or confessed enough to make themselves worthy of God's love. In this biblically rich, but highly accessible new book from Daniel Brown, believers will be given the tools to overcome their low grade guilt and rediscover or discover for the first time the liberating, all-in grace that Christ promised us through His death and resurrection. In low shelf terms, Brown provides a clear overview of Law and Grace, and how God has provided both not to point out what we are doing wrong, but to help us more fully live in the love He has given to us. In Embracing Grace, guilt-weary readers will be able to: clearly understand the relationship between Grace and the Law; equip themselves with the tools to overcome the lies of the adversary; and appropriate their position in Christ on a daily basis. Easy-to-read, short chapters break down the oft-confusing subjects of Grace, Law, Old Covenant, New Covenant, and more. It s time to fully embrace grace.

More is a message of spiritual addition for people who are in the midst of life's subtractions - unemployment, divorce, illness, emotional, financial, or spiritual upheaval. In 2010, three days before Easter, Benny and his wife Wendy lost a child in the womb. Even worse, it happened right before their eyes during a routine sonogram. As they watched the heart monitor in horror, their child's heartbeat fell and finally flat-lined. A day later, Wendy nearly died from blood loss after what should have been a routine follow-up procedure. Immediately after this incident, Benny had to preach ten messages to thousands of people on Easter weekend. More is Benny's journey through this broken period, as he uses the biblical story of Paul's shipwreck on the island of Malta (Acts 28-29) to show people how to kindle a fire for God even when all we can find, like Paul, is wet wood on a stormy day. Perez has walked through the valley, and has come out the other side humbled, strengthened, and passionate about Christ's ability to meet us in our darkest moments. In More, he offers hope, healing, and practical, real life advice from someone who has been there helping those who have been shattered pick up the pieces once again.
