God is Closer Than You Think
By John Ortberg
The Bible is filled with examples of an intimate God, a God keenly interested in connecting with ordinary people. He promises to be with us. He says he will personally guide us. Yet shomehow, intimacy with God eludes us. Caught up in the mainstream of life, we know we're missing something vital. But how do we attain it?
"God is Closer Than You Think" shows how you can enjoy a vibrant, moment-by-moment relationship with your heavenly Father. Not some abstract theological concept, but the real deal--intimate connection with a deeply personal God.

Integrity: The Courage to Meet the
Demands of Reality
By Cloud & Townsend
Success is not related to only talent or brains. There are a lot of bright, talented people who are never successful. And the most successful are not only the ones with the most talent. The real factor, Cloud demonstrates, is the makeup of the person.

Integrity is not something that you either have or don't, but instead is an exciting growth path that all of us can engage in and enjoy.

Ragamuffin Gospel
By Brennan Manning
Most of us believe in God's grace--in theory. But somehow we can't seem to apply it in our daily lives. We come to Him as ragamuffins--dirty, bedraggled, and beat-up. And when we sit at His feet, He smiles upon us, the chosen objects of His "furious love." Brennan Manning's now-classic meditation on grace and what it takes to access it--simple honesty--has changed thousands of lives. It will change yours, too.

Waking the Dead
By John Eldredge
Look at what happens when people are touched by Jesus--the blind see, the lame walk, the deaf hear, the dead are raised to life. In other words, to be touched by God is to be restored. To become all God meant you to be. That is what Christianity is supposed to do for you--make you whole, set you free, bring you fully alive.
But Jesus also warned that the path to that life is narrow, and few people would find it. You'll notice few have. This book will help you find that life, see the fierce battle over your heart, and embrace all that God has for you.
