$10.99Worship Leader magazine has named From Tablet to Table one of the five best books of 2015!
What if the Bible were seen less as a tablet of ink than as a table of food? From Tablet to Table invites readers to explore the importance of The Table in biblical theology, and what it might mean for us to bring back the table to our homes, our churches, and our neighborhoods. The table pictures the grace of God’s provision for all aspects of our lives, a place of safe gathering, of finding identity in shared stories, of imparting food and faith, of playing host and finding satisfaction as a guest. Sweet explores how our failure to understand and appreciate "the most sacred item of furniture in every home" has created such a deficit in our fast-food, take-what-you-like-smorgasbord, together-but-separate society.

$9.99From the flap:
A Testimony
For more than sixty years, I have cultivated a love for the Bible and have pursued an understanding of it. My purpose in writing this book is to help you do the same.
First, I’d like to offer an explanation of how this love affair started. As early as my late teens, I was drawn to the truths of God’s Word and captivated by its wisdom. My interest in the Bible can be traced in large part to the fact that I was reared by a mother and a father who believed in God and respected the Scriptures. They used the Bible’s counsel as a guideline for our home, often quoting from its pages as my older brother, Orville; my older sister, Luci; and I were growing up. It was back then that the Bible first began to make sense to me.
Because scriptural truth served as our domestic foundation, ours was a home where respect for authority was expected and lovingly enforced. At the same time, my parents allowed for open discussion and gave us the freedom to speak our minds. Disagreements in our home didn’t fester and lead to unending arguments; rather, they were resolved quickly and correctly, just as the Bible teaches. Ours was not an uptight, frowning family marked by harsh demands or mindless rules and regulations. On the contrary, while my parents honored, taught, and respected the Bible, they also encouraged lighthearted fun. In our home, laughter was loud and frequent, and the sounds of music-both vocal and instrumental-were heard every day. In that happy, balanced setting, I never felt abused or exploited by overbearing, obsessive parents who hammered us children with a long list of legalistic requirements underscored by Bible verses yanked out of context. On the contrary, grace flowed often and freely.
I want the same for you: a joy-filled life lived in light of God’s wisdom as the Bible states it. That’s why I’ve written this book.
Years ago, I learned at the feet of Dr. Howard G. Hendricks, who taught the Bible Study Methods course at Dallas Theological Seminary. To this day, I have not delivered a sermon, conducted a teaching session, released a broadcast or podcast, or given even a brief devotional without first putting the principles I learned from him to use in my preparation. Because these principles have served me so well for more than fifty years of ministry, I want to pass them on to others-including you-on the pages of this book.
As a result of learning them and putting them into practice, you, too, can know the fulfillment of opening the pages of your Bible with confidence.

$9.992018 Christian Book Award finalist (New Author category)
"Too many Christians I know have grown bored and frustrated with just ‘believing’ in Jesus. They’ve settled for salvation someday, not realizing they can experience a fuller life today."
Many Christians share a secret. Few of us dare to speak it out loud, because doing so would feel like taking a slap at God-and it wouldn’t make us look good either. Yet this secret is affecting us painfully on the inside every single day.
Here it is: Believing in Jesus has left us disappointed.
At one point we were thrilled and hopeful about living a life of trusting in Christ. But over time our experience has failed to live up to our expectations or make the difference we thought it would. So we’ve begun to think: "This can’t be all there is to being a Christian."
If that’s what you’ve been thinking . . . you’re right.
No Easy Jesus holds the key to moving forward when you’re bored, disillusioned, and beaten down by faith-as-usual. It’s a clarion challenge to wake up each day and choose Jesus all over again; to make the tough, gritty choices that align your way with His and lead to true fullness of life. Because when you decided to follow Jesus, you didn’t sign up for what was easiest-you signed up for what was best. Saber más -
$11.99When you jump, will God catch you?
Daring to trust God: It feels like a huge risk. When you take a leap of faith, big or small, you have to believe that God cares enough to be there-even though you can’t see where you’re going to land.
He promises over and over again-in the Old Testament, in the life of Jesus, and in countless biblical stories and psalms-that when you trust him, then you can absolutely, without fail, count on him to respond. But how do you know what God wants you to do? When you do it, what can you expect in return?
In this provocative new book, pastor and debut author Rusty George reveals the answers found in seven core promises of God-and the key that unlocks them.
When You, Then God is a bold, dynamic invitation for you to take God at his word, experience the empowering freedom of his love, and accept his great invitation to partner with him. Saber más
