DOWNLOAD EBOOK →What if God puts hard things into your life so you'll bring them back to him? Maybe God fills our days with lots of reminders to come running back to him for help--not so we'll spend our days full of frustration and tears, but so we'll end our days closer and closer to him. This is the heartbeat behind Come to Jesus. A collection of ways God has brought me closer to him through times of unbelief, loneliness, and uncertainty plus a call for you to bring your hard back to the One who gave it to you. Because maybe that was his purpose in giving it to you all along--not to see how much you can carry but to display his glory and strength as he carries you. ENDORSEMENTS "We need constant reminders that, in everything, we can go to Jesus. I'm grateful for Christa's helpful and beautiful call to do just that through the pages of this book." --Christine Hoover, author of Searching for Spring "This small book has rooted itself in my heart, and since reading it, I've stopped in my wrong-way track more than once to remind myself to run to Jesus with my fears, doubts, sorrows, and temptations." --Claudia Barba, author of Sovereign Hope "Are you lonely? Overwhelmed? Battling unbelief? In this book, Christa speaks to women of all ages in a refreshingly simple yet profound style. She offers a glimpse into her own life to communicate the convincing message that you can and should come to Jesus regardless of who you are or where you find yourself in life." --Gretchen Fant, speaker, counselor, and veteran pastor's wife "At this point in history, things look bleak for so many. And at this point in history, there are so many voices telling us how to fix our lives so that things will not look so bleak. Never before have we needed wise women to say it over and over again: Come to Jesus. He is the author. Come to Jesus, He is the fixer. Come to Jesus, He is the comfort. You'll love this gentle and timely word from Christa and it will leave you wanting more of Jesus, and knowing exactly where to find Him." --Jess Connolly, coauthor of Wild and Free and author of Dance Stand Run

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →These Advent reflections by the abbess of a Poor Clare monastery and accomplished spiritual writer focus our attention on the coming of Jesus into our lives. There is a double movement to this coming: our active preparation to be ready for him, on one hand, and our patient waiting for the Lord to arrive in his own good time, on the other. There is an art to this simultaneous preparing and waiting, and who knows better than the late and beloved Mother Mary Francis how to encourage us in our attempts to master this art. The joyful yet challenging teaching that we have come to expect from Mother Mary Francis is on display in these Advent conferences written for her spiritual daughters at the Poor Clare Monastery of Our Lady of Guadalupe. Meditating on passages from Scripture about the coming of the Messiah into both our world and our hearts, Mother challenges us to persevere in overcoming our faults, while keeping our eyes on the Lord who has called us to himself, for it is he who, through the gifts of his grace, will complete in us the work of sanctification which he has begun. Although written for Advent, the wisdom of Mother Mary Francis collected by her sisters for this volume is profitable at any time, because a Christian life is one of constant growth into the very likeness of God.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →The person of Jesusand our need to encounter him personallyis the common thread through all that Pope Benedict XVI has written and taught. As he once urged young people, Open, open wide the doors to Christand you will find true life. In this book, popular Catholic writer Amy Welborn highlights the many ways in which the pope is inviting his listeners, both inside and outside the church, to discover the saving, healing, life-giving love of Jesus. As we listen with open minds and hearts to Pope Benedicts persistent and heartfelt invitation, we will be inspired to put friendship with Jesus at the center of our lives. And as the pope shows us, we can encounter Jesus in ourselves, in Scripture, in the liturgy, in prayer, and in everyday life.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →“If there were a Guinness Book of World Records entry for ‘amount of times having prayed the sinner’s prayer,’ I’m pretty sure I’d be a top contender,” says pastor and author J. D. Greear. He struggled for many years to gain an assurance of salvation and eventually learned he was not alone. “Lack of assurance” is epidemic among evangelical Christians. In Stop Asking Jesus Into Your Heart, J. D. shows that faulty ways of present- ing the gospel are a leading source of the confusion. Our presentations may not be heretical, but they are sometimes misleading. The idea of “asking Jesus into your heart” or “giving your life to Jesus” often gives false assurance to those who are not saved—and keeps those who genuinely are saved from fully embracing that reality. Greear unpacks the doctrine of assurance, showing that salvation is a posture we take to the promise of God in Christ, a posture that begins at a certain point and is maintained for the rest of our lives. He also answers the tough questions about assurance: What exactly is faith? What is repentance? Why are there so many warnings that seem to imply we can lose our salvation? Such issues are handled with respect to the theological rigors they require, but Greear never loses his pastoral sensitivity or a communication technique that makes this message teachable to a wide audience from teens to adults.
