Overview
Description

"If I could just get to the weekend."

"If I could just get through this semester."

"If I could just get to the vacation."

"If I could just make it through today."

So many of us today are simply surviving. But we were not made to survive, we were made to Thrive. Like a tree planted by the water (Jeremiah 17:7-8) we should be digging into God's word to know Him and know who He has made us to be. We should be reaching out to the world and showing others who He is through our lives and our stories - knowing Him and making Him known. Thrive, the brand new studio record from Christian music?s flagship artist Casting Crowns, is packed with the band?s signature style of songs about real life that redefine our identity in Christ, pointing us to our purpose from Him so that we may carry it out through Him. Coming January 28th, 2014, it?s time for us to more than survive. We were made to THIRVE!

Ten Days Without [Paperback]Ten Days Without [Paperback]

By Daniel Ryan Day & Joni Eareckson Tada (Foreward By)
A Rebellion against Apathy. A Strategy for Action. 

""Life is full of good intentions, but for too many, our good intentions never become good actions--they don't move us forward, draw us closer to God, or make a difference in the world."

"Good intentions are cans of paint that could have become amazing works of art...but never did." --Daniel Day, in" Ten Days Without" 

Daniel Day could "tell" you all about his love for God and his desire to live as a follower of Jesus. But it took a simple but radical experiment to move from simply talking about it to actually living like it. For ten days at a time, Daniel chose to abandon a certain "necessity"--a coat, a voice, shoes, media, furniture, legs, touch--and to blog about it to raise funds and awareness for organizations that are doing amazing things to make a difference in the world. And then he invited others to join him in the experiments and spread the vision. Together they served God and others--and experienced significant personal change in the process. "Ten Days Without "is the story of their life-altering adventure. 

"Ten Days Without" is a compelling story and practical guide that will equip you and your friends to break through walls of convenience and indifference, and join a movement that is confronting apathy and ignorance around the world to make an impact on people's lives in a God-honoring way. "Ten Days Without" is where our good intentions end and making a difference in the world begins.

As the bizarre break-ins continue and Heather pursues the elusive ?Summer Santa,? Andy begins to hear strange and beautiful music, and Rip is convinced that he is hearing the voice of God.

Chasing God [Hardcover]

Chasing God [Hardcover]


Maybe you’ve never asked the question out loud, but you’ve wondered. You do the things that look good on paper: read your Bible, pray, attend study groups and go to church on Sundays.

But you aren’t convinced you really know Him.

Angie Smith understands, because she had run circles around the same paths searching for Him, frustrated at her lack of progress. And she probably would have continued to do so had it not been for one realization that changed everything.

She wasn’t following God; she was trying to catch up with Him. 

And without realizing it, you may be as well.

It’s a distinction that affects every aspect of our lives with Christ, and it begins with learning where we’ve relied more on man’s explanation of God than God Himself.

So many requirements, so many rules, and so much guilt where there is supposed to be freedom. It’s the reason you wonder if you’ve measured up, and the nagging voice that tells you you’re a failure as a Christian.

Three simple words changed everything for Angie, and she believes they can do the same for you. Stop chasing God.
