$15.992017 Christianity Today Book Award winner ("Christian Living / Discipleship" category)
Get ready for the wettest, stormiest, wildest trip through the Gospel youve ever taken!
The gospels are dramatic, wild, and wet--set in a rich maritime culture on the shores of the Sea of Galilee. Jesus first disciples were ragtag fishermen, and Jesus messages and miracles teem with water, fish, fishermen, net-breaking catches, sea crossings, boat-sinking storms, and even a walk on water. Because this world is foreign and distant to us, weve missed much about the disciples experiences and about following Jesus--until now. Leslie Leyland Fields--a well-known writer, respected biblical exegete, and longtime Alaskan fisherwoman--crosses the waters of time and culture to take us out on the Sea of Galilee, through a rugged season of commercial fishing with her family in Alaska, and through the waters of the New Testament.
Youll be swept up in a fresh experience of the gospels, traveling with the fishermen disciples from Jesus baptism to the final miraculous catch of fish--and also experiencing Leslies own efforts to follow Christ out on her own Alaskan sea. In a time when so many are "unfollowing" Jesus and leaving the Church, Crossing the Waters delivers a fresh encounter with Jesus and explores what it means to "come, follow me." Saber más -

$9.99Does God listen when I talk to him? Does he actually care about what I’m feeling?
We have many good reasons not to believe that God will hear us when we pray. But this God-who-seems-far is closer than we realize. And he wants us to draw near with raw, honest questions and emotions.
The ancient pathway of the Psalms can show us how to come to God with our fears, failures, doubts, and wounds and find how much he cares. The psalmists give voice to every human experience-cries of lament, whispers of fear, and shouts of praise-and God responds. These raw prayers reveal what an intimate relationship with God looks and sounds like. They provide a clear path for us to move toward joy.
In Nearing a Far God, master teacher Leslie Leyland Fields will lead you in exploring seven different forms of the Psalms-lament, wisdom, trust, confession, creation, thanksgiving, and praise. At the end of each chapter, you’ll practice transformative writing and prayer exercises to engage your whole brain and body. As you begin to see the Psalms with fresh eyes and discover how to speak the language of authentic relationship, you’ll learn how to come before God in your best and worst moments, find your truest voice, and encounter the intimate God who responds.
To enrich your journey, use this book to encounter God in honest prayer with a friend or in a group! Saber más
