"Believe me, my wife and I wrote the book on how not to have a marriage. We took our vows after being together for only four months, were without faith, and had no clue about what this marriage union and covenant really meant. Soon after our first child was born, we were fighting like the worst of enemies. Eventually, as with so many marriages, we were divorced. Within the next few years, we hit our lowest point, but through looking for foundations of truth, our lives were changed through faith in Christ. We soon were remarried, had two more children, and began on a path to understand the keys to love, marriage, and faith. As we began to see the true purpose of marriage and the strains and struggles couples face when they don't understand this purpose, it became evident it was time to write a book that points to a biblical marriage. Our marriage was full of insecurity, jealousy, anger, frustration, lack of trust, and without direction. All of this led us to look to God and His leading as we fought for a successful marriage." This 30-day devotional is aimed at revealing the promises we found in God's Word. These promises are fulfilled as we reflect Him daily as two who have become one, sacrificially living for one another and dying to self. This book reveals theological truths, exposes common struggles, and provides practical applications. Marriage is the first ministry a spouse has after his or her walk with Jesus, and our goal is to strengthen that foundation as you humbly open yourselves to God's Word, letting Him speak to you as He pastors your walk ahead.

Danny Hodges became the senior pastor of a young church fellowship known as Calvary Chapel in St. Petersburg, Florida, in April of 1984. Three years later when he was introduced to Pastor Chuck Smith and the Calvary Chapel movement, he felt an immediate sense of being at home and was grateful to God for leading him to this network of churches that upheld a simple, biblical philosophy of ministry and well-balanced doctrine. Calvary Chapel St. Petersburg soon became a fellowship of Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa, and since that time God has steadily grown the ministry from a handful of mostly young single adults to a large church full of families. It has been exciting to see God's Spirit bring many to salvation through Jesus Christ, see lives change and mature in the Lord, see relationships bloom and grow, see ministries evolve and prosper, see a hunger for the Word of God and see a passionate desire to win the lost to Jesus. Pastor Danny and his wife, Wendy, consider it an honor to serve this growing body of believers together with their four children, Tanner, Hayden, Jairus and Audra.

Profound reflections on the cross that help you to meditate on and marvel at the sacrificial love of Jesus. This book can be used as a devotional, especially during Lent and Easter. These profound reflections on the cross from David Mathis, author of The Christmas We Didn’t Expect, will help you to meditate on and marvel at Jesus’ life, sacrificial death, and spectacular resurrection-enabling you to treasure anew who Jesus is and what he has done. Many of us are so familiar with the Easter story that it becomes easy to miss subtle details and difficult to really enjoy its meaning. This book will help you to pause and marvel at Jesus, whose now-glorified wounds are a sign of his unfailing love and the decisive victory that he has won: “He was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed.” (Isaiah 53:5) This book can be used as a devotional. The chapters on Holy Week make it especially helpful during the Lent season and at Easter.

Do you believe in miracles? Before you answer let me share my story. I was diagnosed with two fatal lung diseases a few years ago with not much hope to live a long life. The Bible says...by His stripes you were healed. If we could only receive our healing as we do our salvation, we would see more miracles and healings. Jesus went to the cross for our healing, the same as our salvation. Read about my total healing with medical proof to confirm it. I pray that my miracle will bless someone that is waiting for their miracle of healing. JoAnn Rinehart received Jesus in her heart and was baptized in the Holy Spirit in 1979.

A New York Times Notable Book A Kirkus Reviews Best Book of 2012 A bold approach to understanding the American evangelical experience from an anthropological and psychological perspective by one of the country's most prominent anthropologists. Through a series of intimate, illuminating interviews with various members of the Vineyard, an evangelical church with hundreds of congregations across the country, Tanya Luhrmann leaps into the heart of evangelical faith. Combined with scientific research that studies the effect that intensely practiced prayer can have on the mind, When God Talks Back examines how normal, sensible people—from college students to accountants to housewives, all functioning perfectly well within our society—can attest to having the signs and wonders of the supernatural become as quotidian and as ordinary as laundry. Astute, sensitive, and extraordinarily measured in its approach to the interface between science and religion, Luhrmann's book is sure to generate as much conversation as it will praise.

Today's neurological research has placed habit at the center of human behavior; we are what we do repetitively. When we want to add something to our life, whether it's exercise, prayer, or just getting up earlier in the morning, we know that we must turn an activity into a habit through repetition or it just won't stick. What would happen if we applied the same kind of daily dedication to faith? Could faith become a habit, a given--automatic? With vulnerable storytelling and insightful readings of both Old and New Testament passages, Jen Pollock Michel invites the convinced and the curious into a 40-day Bible reading experience. Vividly translating ancient truths for a secular age, Michel highlights how the biblical text invites us to see, know, live, love, and obey. The daily reflection questions and weekly discussion guides invite both individuals and groups, believers and doubters alike, to explore how faith, even faith as small as a mustard seed, might grow into a life-defining habit.
