Boy Meets Girl
      By: Joshua Harris

I wrote Boy Meets Girl the year after I was married. It was a great chance to answer many of the questions that were raised by my first book, I Kissed Dating Goodbye. I know the last thing most singles want is more rules and, in Boy Meets Girl, I wanted to offer an alternative: an intentional, God-pleasing game plan for finding a future spouse. In the book, I discuss how biblical courtship (a healthy, joyous alternative to recreational dating) worked for me and my wife Shannon, to give an encouraging and practical example for readers wanting to pursue the possibility of marriage with someone they're serious about. This updated version includes a new foreword, a new chapter, an all-new "8 Great Courtship Conversations" section, and some updated material throughout.

The Christian life is about a relationship with God. It is not primarily about do's and don'ts. We cannot know God "on the run" any more than we can know another person that way. Relationships require enourmous amounts of time devoted to personal interaction with the other person.

Changed into His Image (student edition) is a 13 week study that leads you into fellowship with God. Each study unit includes daily activities that explain how to build an intimate and satisfying relationship with God.

Crazy Love
     Overwhelmed by a Relentless God
      By: Francis Chan

"Francis's life reflects authentic leadership tempered by a deep compssion for the lost, the last, the littlest, and the least. It's all because this man, my friend, is an ardent and devoted disciple of his Savior. In his fresh new book, Crazy Love, Francis peels back what we think the Christian life is, and guides us down the path toward an uncommon intimacy with Jesus-an intimacy which can't help but change the world around us!" -Joni Eareckson Tada, best-selling author and speaker

Troubles. Obstacles. Challenges. Problems. Whatever term you choose, life seems to be filled with a never-ending string of them. Whether they are financial, material, church, health, family, work, or physical, they hinder our success and happiness.

Life's problems have no boundaries. Rich or poor, educated or not, old or young, everyone experiences the trials and tribulations of daily life. And the fact that you're a Christian does not mean that you are problem-free.

To the contrary, we are Christians have some unique challenges that others don't. In Romans 8:37, the Bible teaches taht we are more than conquerors through Christ Who strengthens us.

In their Bible study God's Solutions to Life's Problems, authors Dr. Wayne Mack and Pastor Joshua Mack lead you step by step through the Bible showing you how to experience true victory over your problems. Victories which are not temporary, but which are long-lasting, substantial, and permanent.

From defining the problem to discovering the biblical solution, to committing to a biblical course of action and designing your lfie for change, you will discover that you can overcome any problem when you know where to find the answers you're seeking.

Today's society continues to experience a rapid decline in basic moral values because it's seeking answers from the wrong sources. You and yoru family can avoid becoming another statistic. You will eliminate crisis when you use God's Solutions to Life's Problems.

Many teens are active in church youth programs, yet drop out of church later in life and never return. Other young adults rest on the merits of their parents’ faith without ever experiencing their own relationship with Jesus Christ. In Growing Up Christian, I seek to help teenagers who have grown up in the church by reminding them of the many blessings of growing up in a Christian home, warning them of some of the dangers they face, providing practical suggestions for avoiding these dangers, and urging them to think and live in a way that pleases God.

Not Even A Hint
     Guarding Your Heart Against Lust
      By: Joshua Harris

"I wrote this book for both men and women. Why? Because lust isn't a male problem. It's a human problem. Lust ruins our relationships, robs us of spiritual passion, and leaves us feeling hollow... But the truth is that you and I don't have to stay on that treadmill of guilt and shame. God calls us to a high standard - not even a hint of sexual impurity. And He gives us everything we need to make it a reality. If you're ready for a practical, grace-centered plan for defeating lust and celebrating purity, I hope you'll join me on a most promising journey."
