Church Called Tov
$22.99
What is the way forward for the church?
Tragically, in recent years, Christians have gotten used to revelations of abuses of many kinds in our most respected churches-from Willow Creek to Harvest, from Southern Baptist pastors to Sovereign Grace churches. Respected author and theologian Scot McKnight and former Willow Creek member Laura Barringer wrote this book to paint a pathway forward for the church.
We need a better way. The sad truth is that churches of all shapes and sizes are susceptible to abuses of power, sexual abuse, and spiritual abuse. Abuses occur most frequently when Christians neglect to create a culture that resists abuse and promotes healing, safety, and spiritual growth.
How do we keep these devastating events from repeating themselves? We need a map to get us from where we are today to where we ought to be as the body of Christ. That map is in a mysterious and beautiful little Hebrew word in Scripture that we translate “good,” the word tov.
In this book, McKnight and Barringer explore the concept of tov-unpacking its richness and how it can help Christians and churches rise up to fulfill their true calling as imitators of Jesus.

You Are Not Behind

The pressure of unmet milestones and unfulfilled dreams can make you feel like you’ve already missed out on the life you were “supposed” to have. But you don’t have to exhaust yourself trying to keep up in order to enjoy what’s right in front of you.
In You Are Not Behind, Meghan Ryan Asbury will help you create a life you love with the one you already have. Drawing on biblical wisdom and relatable stories, Meghan will guide you to:
*release the internal shame and external pressure of “where you should be” while still being honest with God (and yourself)
*free yourself from comparison and secretly keeping score with the people around you so you can have the community you long for
*understand the actual meaning of contentment and realize you can hold on to hope for the future without letting it overshadow today’s happiness
Authentic and encouraging, You Are Not Behind will teach you to grieve the hard, celebrate the good, and embrace the in-between of where you are and where you want to be.
