Take a fresh look around you with eyes that cut through the daily distortions and see the undeniable and extravagant goodness of God. There are certain messages today, both outside and inside the church, that have tainted the true message of God’s favor. The reality is God isn’t obligated to provide good things for us—but He wants to! This is your opportunity to adopt a favor-minded mentality and realize that God’s favor, like His grace, is unearned, limitless, and never-ending. And, it’s for us! In Good Things, Kevin Gerald invites you to become a good finder. This book will equip you to: ● Discover that the goodness of God exceeds the pain of life’s hardship. ● Know how to keep your mind on God’s favor not your failure. ● Recognize that Grace and Favor are so intertwined you can’t separate them. ● Apply seven favor dynamics that will help you overcome relationship barriers. ● See what you are certain to overlook until your eyes are trained to see it. It’s time you move forward in confidence, knowing that God is for you. He is always seeking to give you good things, and His favor is forever!

Hope of the nations The book of Romans is a masterpiece of Christian doctrine through which the apostle Paul explores many fundamentals of the Christian faith. In this letter, Paul, the servant of Jesus Christ, affirms the reality of humanity’s fallen condition and God’s divine provision for redemption. Through this letter originally addressed to the believers in ancient Rome, we today can peer into the clouded mirror of divine grace and glimpse the plan of redemption as sovereignly designed by the Master Potter through the life, death, and resurrection of His Son, our Lord Jesus Christ.

Celebrate a vulnerable and open life by overcoming your fear of criticism and start living the life God intended. ​ Fear of criticism has turned into a massive epidemic harder than ever to overcome. It prevents people from speaking up; it's why most people struggle to make decisions; it's why we're uncomfortable with vulnerability and openness; and it's why so many are unable to meet their full potential. But it doesn't have to be that way. Through the Bible story of King David dancing naked in the streets while his distant, guarded, and critical wife watches from a window, Naked and Unafraid provides a visual contrast of these two characters that sheds light on the way we all approach life and explains how the fear of criticism impacts our lives much more than we realize or are willing to admit. God didn't create us to live guarded, isolated lives. Our greatest fulfillment isn't found in the window. It's found in the street. Everything in our lives, including our relationships, our work, our emotional and spiritual health, gets better in a place of openness and vulnerability. But that doesn't mean it's easy. . . because it's not. Vulnerability is risky. Exposure is scary. Naked and Unafraid pushes readers to: Find the courage to not let criticism control or determine who they are and what they do. Stop living in the shallow end of relationships and experience the rewards that true vulnerability can bring. Abandon smallness and live the life they were born to live. Discover how the fear of criticism diminishes in direct proportion to understanding it. Reject the limitations and inhibitions of "window living," so they can experience the freedom and rewards of "street life." Confront their own worst critic that counts them out of what God has included them in. God will help you move away from window watching, and toward street dancing. Know who He says you are, and live in that freedom!

"Like newborn babes, long for the pure milk of the word, that by it you may grow in respect to salvation." 1 Peter 2:2 It's a fact of life: our health declines if we don't nourish our bodies every day with food and water. That's true physically. It's true spiritually as well. If we neglect to regularly feed our souls on the Holy Scriptures, our faith becomes weak and we start to lose touch with our Savior. Growth is stifled... if it happens at all. Drawing Near, used daily in combination with God's Holy Word, can not only help bring you closer to God but also keep you from spiritual stagnation. This book will guide you in a growing relationship with Him. As Pastor MacArthur says in his Introduction: "Our entertainment-conscious, quick-fix, fast-food society does everything it can to divert us from setting aside time to study God's Word. As you well know from your own efforts, Bible study is not often entertaining—it's hard work. It takes discipline to set aside time each day to reap the benefits such study has to offer. If you reach an impasse when it's time to sit down, open your Bible, and try to decide what to do, you're not alone. Without some plan to follow, it's easy to become frustrated and eventually give up after only one or two days. That's where this book comes in."
