Let the truth of Jesus's sacrifice and new life fill you this Easter! Spend 40 DAYS journeying through 40 WORDS and draw closer to God in heart, soul, and mind. From terms found in the Gospels--repent, palm, cross--to expressions related to traditional Christian practices--Maundy, ashes, abstain--these words will guide you to a deeper appreciation for our Savior's death and resurrection. Each day will bring you to Scripture with a devotional reading and a reflection question, prayer prompt, or exercise that will reveal the realities of redemption and the fullness of what it means. Be inspired to richer love, greater devotion, and more abundant praise this Easter season.

Explores what Christians believe, why they believe, and why it matters through the Apostles Creed. We're all searching. Sometimes the search is easy: simply type a question and the answer pops up. But sometimes our questions are complicated, and the answers are difficult to see and harder to articulate. How do we discover and examine the truths that give meaning and purpose to life? Adam Hamilton believes that some powerful answers are contained in the Apostles' Creed, an early statement of foundational Christian beliefs. In this book, Hamilton considers important questions of life, reality, and truth. He explores not only what Christians believe, but also why they believe it and why it matters. Chapters include: God Jesus Christ The Holy Spirit The Church at the Communion of Saints The Forgiveness of Sins The Resurrection of the Body Creed: What Christians Believe and Why is also part of a six-week church-wide program that includes a Leader Guide, DVD, and youth and children resources.

The desert is a common image for Lent, evoking Jesus' temptation in the wilderness and the barren expanse we might associate with self-denial. Such a stark view of the desert fails to capture the immense potential for growth and discovery that can be found amid the shrubs. There is compassion for self and others to be cultivated along this arduous trek as we grow more aware of life's trials and traumas. Srubas uses wilderness stories both literal and metaphorical, from both Scripture and modern life, to guide readers on a challenging, yet rewarding, journey of mindfulness, empathy, commitment, and action.

The legend of Father Christmas-Santa Claus-has its roots in history. Nicholas was a pastor just 300 years after Jesus walked the earth. Tales of his generosity, a response to the gifts all receive through Jesus, were widespread. His kindness and care are modeled everytime someone gives a gift out of love.
