The Mockingbird Devotional: Good News for Today (and Every Day)

As long as it has been available, people have turned to the Bible to address the problems and anxieties of everyday life. We look to it for comfort in the midst of suffering, clarity in times of confusion, or simply to learn about God. Thankfully, what we find in its pages is not a collection of rules or demands but a message of unbending honesty and unspeakable compassion: the gospel of Jesus Christ. With humor and heart (and a surprising number of disco and B-movie references) the 365 short devotions in The Mockingbird Devotional carry the good news of God's mercy and forgiveness to the inner-rooms of human reality.

Stephanie Phillips and Charlotte Getz never expected to raise their families anywhere but home, in the American South. But then...life happened. Quirky, hilarious, and (mostly) true, Unmapped is the tale of two long-distance friends who found home—together and apart—in unexpected exile. This spiritual memoir duet is unlike anything you've ever read.

Unmapped: The (Mostly) True Story of How Two Women Lost At Sea Found Their Way Home

Phillips, Stephanie

Charlotte Getz

"No one ever said life would be easy." Many of us will admit that, at times, life is hard. We buckle down, put our noses to the grindstone...and all too often wind up exhausted or burned out. But the problem isn't that life is difficult. The problem is that life is impossible! Fortunately, what sounds like bad news is merely the beginning of the Good News in this concise, gospel-centered book about God's abundant mercy and love. With wisdom, humor, and compassion, Nick Lannon casts life's painful realities in the light of Jesus, the One who achieves the unachievable.

Faith Once Delivered

Drawing on such canonical sources as Shakespeare, Arrested Development, U2, and many more, this collection of sermons connects the Good News about Jesus to our everyday life with wit and grace. Presenting Scripture's own sober view of things, Paul Walker diagnoses the pain, guilt, and failure that so often plague us. But amid that bleak account of our experience, the preacher's punch line is always the same: Christ died and rose again to heal, pardon, and free us. For every circumstance, these sermons remind us of the Gospel's sustaining hope.

Walker, Paul N.

The Elegy Beta: And Other Poems

The poems in this volume feature impressionistic meditations on faith and everyday life. In concert with Rilke's Duino Elegies, the classic text on the force and work of angels, The Elegy Beta simmers with luminous, transcendent language, elegance, and, frequently, humor.

Everyone wants peace and hope. As we grow older, we feel a special urgency to make peace with the past and to discover hope for the future. In his newest book, Peace in the Last Third of Life, The Rev. Dr. Paul F.M. Zahl provides a roadmap to finding peace and hope for the 'Boomer' generation. Zahl's wisdom comes not only from his decades in pastoral ministry, but also from cultural and historical illustrations as varied as Philadelphia Soul, War of the Worlds (1953), and the skin of St. Bartholomew. With piercing wisdom and unflagging humor, Peace in the Last Third of Life connects the core questions of Boomers to the Supernatural Power of God.

Daily Grace: The Mockingbird Devotional, Vol. 2

We all yearn for grace. But what purports to be good news often feels like judgment, expectation, or demand. Through personal experience, humor, and bucketloads of compassion, Daily Grace reveals the gospel for what it is: endless love and relief rising through the weeds of ordinary life. Composed by over sixty different contributors, these brief scriptural devotions offer comfort and wisdom while pointing toward Jesus Christ, the cross, and the resurrection. Whether you read this book daily, or once in a blue moon during a personal breakdown (it happens to all of us ), this grace is for you.
