Kwanzaa is more than a holiday—it’s a way of life. Rooted in the rich traditions of African culture and inspired by the Zulu first-fruit celebration, Kwanzaa is celebrated from December 26 to January 1. But its teachings—the Nguzo Saba or Seven Principles—offer timeless wisdom that can transform lives and communities all year long. In this powerful and practical guide, Mx. K. Bron Johnson invites listeners to move beyond seasonal celebration and into a daily practice of Kwanzaa’s core values.

With a gentle pastoral voice, author Tom White helps listeners who sometimes find it hard to experience God's love. As sincere Christians they know that God is love, but they're not receiving the love so clearly declared in the Bible. They try to do the right things, and believe the right things, in order to receive God’s love. But the experience of his love in life isn’t working out that way. They're unsure what they are doing wrong. Why is this so? Tom White provides a fresh Biblical perspective on the reality of God's love. He does not teach how to become a “better” believer.

In Scared to Life, Ryan leverages tales of adventure to address our comparison culture, the ache we feel that the stories of our lives aren't enough, and the suspicion that there's more to the Christian journey than what we've experienced.

"God has placed inside each one of us a spiritual dream. It's what God has breathed into us - a little bit of himself. And it's that part that is calling us unto him." So states Jamie Buckingham in this remarkable recounting of his own personal journey with the Holy Spirit, never before in print. From his strict moral upbringing, through his salvation experience, through his "dark pit" days as a disgraced Southern Baptist pastor, through his highly successful writing career, Jamie shares how God broke down his resistance to the baptism in the Holy Spirit.

The community of Christ has a great tradition of invitation. Inviting others to faith requires leaning in to your own story, overcoming fear, and stepping out.

Most significantly, Steve shows that only through risking it all will we discover what God is truly like.

Explore the rhythm of Christian life, and recapture the joy of life together as God always intended.

In life there is the ideal: fulfilling work, thriving relationships, financial security. Not to mention an orderly and beautiful home and children who never misbehave.

Or we can choose to love our actual lives, right here and now.
