Finish Line Faith
$14.99
A Call to Finish Well
We all want to give up sometimes. But following Christ is a marathon, not a sprint. The apostle Paul knew this better than most. In the letter we now call 2 Timothy, Paul offers timely advice to a seemingly overwhelmed disciple. These words have encouraged generations of Christians to endure despite overwhelming pressure.
Matt Proctor, a seasoned Bible scholar and well-known college president, unpacks this important book of the Bible in Finish Line Faith, the first book in the Everyday Exposition Series from OCC Press. Proctor draws on his own experience leading churches and a deep knowledge of God’s Word to help Christians realize the biblical and practical applications of Paul’s exhortations.
Each of the twelve chapters includes discussion questions to help individuals or groups gain a deeper understanding of this important letter and God’s work in their own stories. We all might feel overwhelmed at times, but we can endure with the reinvigorating power of Christ.
The Everyday Exposition series by OCC Press offers books that guide readers through the Bible book by book and are great for personal or small group study. While not traditional commentaries, these concise books are faithful to the text of the Bible, highly readable, and applicable to every believer.

How Far To The Promised Land
$28.42From the New York Times contributing opinion writer and award-winning author of Reading While Black, Esau McCaulley shares a riveting intergenerational account of his family’s search for home and hope.
For much of his life, Esau McCaulley was taught to see himself as an exception: someone who, through hard work, faith, and determination, overcame childhood poverty, anti-Black racism, and an absent father to earn a job as a university professor and a life in the middle class.
But that narrative was called into question one night, when McCaulley answered the phone and learned that his father-whose absence defined his upbringing-died in a car crash. McCaulley was being asked to deliver his father’s eulogy, to make sense of his complicated legacy in a country that only accepts Black men on the condition that they are exceptional, hardworking, perfect.
The resulting effort sent McCaulley back through his family history, seeking to understand the community that shaped him. In these pages, we meet his great-grandmother Sophia, a tenant farmer born with the gift of prophecy who scraped together a life in Jim Crow Alabama; his mother, Laurie, who raised four kids alone in an era when single Black mothers were demonized as “welfare queens”; and a cast of family, friends, and neighbors who won small victories in a world built to swallow Black lives. With profound honesty and compassion, he raises questions that implicate us all: What does each person’s struggle to build a life teach us about what we owe each other? About what it means to be human?
How Far to the Promised Land is a thrilling and tender epic about being Black in America. It’s a book that questions our too-simple narratives about poverty and upward mobility; a book in which the people normally written out of the American Dream are given voice.

Walking In Truth In A World Of Lies
$15.99You and I are being lied to on a regular basis. In fact, our entire culture is riddled with duplicity.
Scripture warns repeatedly of deception on a massive scale in the Last Days, so why are Christians seemingly so unconcerned? Has their access to theological information and their acceptance of orthodox doctrine caused them to believe they are impervious to being deceived?
There is only one way to stay safe from the deceiver’s powerful lies: We must allow the “love of the truth” to hold sway in our innermost being. Only then will we be capable of Walking in Truth in a World of Lies.
