It's a New Year and God is for you. He's committed to conforming you to the image of Christ, promising to use anything and everything that comes your way for His ultimate good in your life. It's stunning, but true. Debt has been canceled. Grace extended. The Spirit given. We are now the sons and daughters of God. And, even in suffering nothing can separate us from the extravagant love of God. Yet, we have a role to play in God's amazing purpose for our lives. THough God is sovereign and in charge of all things, we are invited to participate in the plan He has for us. Our responses not only matter, they define who we are and afford us the ability to magnify Christ in all we do. It's a New Year and God is for you...so choose well and make your life count for what matters most!

Grace (The One and Only) DVD
Louie Giglio
Sixstep Records, December 2010
Grace. Unexpected. Undeserved. Yet the core of the story is the gospel. Unique to the person and message of Jesus Christ, grace is simply God at work doing what we could never do. Nothing we can say or do can elicit more orless of the lavish grace of God. Grace is the essence of our Creator and the way to a personal connection with Him that lasts forever and the source of the strength that enables us to walk in truth. 'For God made Jesus, who knew no sin, to become sin on our behalf, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.' 2 Corinthians 5:21. The Grace that is freely given cost the Son of God everything...and ignites within all who receive it a desire to live for the One who sets us free.

Prayer: Remix DVD
Louie Giglio
Sixstep Records, December 2010
Bless Me. Be With me. Watch over and protect me. Forgive me. Listen to the way you pray, and to the prayer of those around you, and you'll hear these four tried and true phrases often- familiar words we've probably been saying over and over to God since we first learned how to pray. ReMIXED prayers embrace these four concepts, while moving towards a healthier, God-centered prayer language that saturates our thoughts and words with the phrases, "Let Me Bless You," "Live Though Me," and "No Matter What, Use Me." A subtle shift based on radical truth. Potent prayer for a full life.

Unconditional?
Brian Zahnd
Charisma House, December 2010
Can we show mercy to those whom we feel least inclined to? Addressing this question in light of the Holocaust, murder, child abuse, and other atrocities, Zahnd confronts believers with the reality of how deep we must reach to obey Christ---and contends that if faith is not about forgiveness, it's about nothing at all. 256 pages, hardcover from Charisma.

The Life Ready Woman
Shaunti Feldhahn
B&H Publishing, December 2010
Whether a stay-at-home mom or an airplane-hopping executive, a student or a senior adult, most women need a contemporary, encouraging vision for what it means to be a godly, biblically guided female in the twenty-first century. A biblical woman takes God's Word seriously not just at church but also in the everyday walk of life. But can a significant and satisfying twenty-first-century womanhood really be defined from Scripture? One that can apply to all women and yet not be guilty of cookie-cutter sameness, pressing everyone into a common mold? One that will stay fresh even as a woman grows older? One that can guide her to the best in life? The answer is yes, and the result is a femininity without excesses and regrets that mark those who just go with the flow of the world. In Life Ready Woman, best-selling author Shaunti Feldhahn helps readers take five faith steps drawn from the Bible that will help to define the best life possible. Each one is easy to understand, but requires bold faith to activate. The reward is being ready for the deeper life that God has planned.

The Damascus Way (Acts of Faith vol. 3)
Davis Bunn & Janette Oke
Bethany House, December 2010
Julia has everything money can buy...except for acceptance by either the Gentiles or the Jews. Her Greek father already has a wife and family, leaving Julia and her Hebrew mother second-class citizens. But when they are introduced to followers of the Way, they become part of that community of believers. Abigail's brother, Jacob, now a young man, is attempting to discover his own place as a Christian. He is concerned that being more serious about his faith means trading away the exhilaration of his current profession as a caravan guard. Hired by Julia's father to protect the wealthy merchant's caravans on the secretive "Frankincense Trail"--undercover transport of this highly valuable commodity--Jacob also passes letters and messages between various communities of believers. He is alarmed to find out that Julia, hardly more than a girl, is also a messenger. Can their immediate mistrust be put aside to finally bring their hearts together?
