Mark Driscoll
Thomas Nelson, January 2013
Pastor Mark Driscoll answers the one question you need to ask: Who am I in Christ? Being
a Christian can be like driving in a foreign city. You try living on
the straight and narrow but instead take a wrong turn onto the wide
avenue of sin and temptation. In the process, you become discouraged and
condemned, limping along in your faith—or giving up altogether. But this isn’t the real Christian life. You can make a U-turn.
Drawing on nearly two decades of pastoring, Pastor Mark Driscoll knows that underlying our struggles in life is the issue of our identity. “The fundamental problem we have in this world,” he says, “is that we don’t understand who we truly are—children of God made in his image—and define ourselves by any number of things other than Jesus. Only by knowing our false identity apart from Christ in comparison to our true identity in him can we finally deal with and overcome the issues in our lives.”

The Utter Relief of Holiness
John Eldredge
Faith Words, January 2013
What a relief it would be to be set free from all that plagues us--the inner struggle with anger, or contempt, the habitual sins. Is such an experience possible? John Eldredge believes it is, and in The Utter Relief of Holiness, he shows readers how they can be that free, through the healing work of Christ in their lives. It begins when we discover what the salvation of Jesus Christ means for our own restoration and find that holiness is an expression of the healing of our humanity. Here is a book that explores the beauty of the genuine goodness available to us in Jesus Christ, and guides the reader through the process whereby God makes us whole and holy by his love. Readers will be relieved. Utterly.

Vanished
Irene Hannon
Revell, January 2013
Reporter Moira Harrisons is lost. In the dark. In a thunderstorm. When a confusing detour places her on a rural, wooded road, she's startled by the sudden appearance of a lone figure caught in the beam of her headlights. Though Moira jams on her brakes, the car careens across the wet pavement--and the solid thump against the side of the vehicle tells her she hit the person before she crashes into a tree on the far side of the road.

Dirty God: Jesus in the TrenchesJohnnie Moore
Thomas Nelson, January 2013
In Dirty God: Jesus in the Trenches,
Johnnie Moore draws on both Scripture and his extensive experience with
other cultures and religions to show how the God of the Bible is unique
in his willingness to be near us in all of our messiness. Moore
outlines the central importance of the doctrine of grace while
introducing readers to a humble and human Jesus who reaches out to us at
our worst and pulls us up to our best.
Grace, Moore argues, is something that is both gotten and given, and the two-part structure of the book allows readers to explore both of these dynamics. By offering hope rather than condemnation and showing the practical applications of grace in today’s world, Dirty God will appeal to both the committed Christian and the spiritual seeker looking for a more authentic faith. Challenging and engaging, Dirty God is sure to establish Johnnie Moore as an emerging voice for Millennial and Gen-X evangelicals for years to come.
