1 Timothy: A 30-Day Devotional (Strong Man Devotionals)
by Vince MillerBased on the New Testament book of 1 Timothy, these 30 daily devotions include Scripture, prayers, and actionable ideas for men who want to grow in spiritual leadership and become truly courageous men of God. This in-depth 30-day devotional and Bible study helps men grow more courageous in their role as spiritual leaders in their families, workplaces, and churches as they listen to the apostle Paul mentor his protégé Timothy. Timothy was known for being timid, but Paul—one of the greatest church leaders of the first century— spoke the truth into this young man, giving him courage to be a leader. In 1 Timothy: A Strong Man Is Courageous, Vince Miller explains how Timothy lived in the metropolis of Ephesus, where Paul had planted a church years before. This church had fallen into doctrinal and organizational disrepair, and now Paul wanted Timothy to get the church back on track. Every devotion in 1 Timothy includes a reflection from Vince drawn from Paul&’s words, insights from other biblical books, and ideas for applying Paul&’s advice to your own situation. As Vince will show you, God uses mentoring relationships for His glory on our journey to becoming spiritual leaders and learners.

10 Christians Everyone Should Know: Lives of the Faithful and What They Mean to You
by John PerryJane Austen, Sergeant York, Saint Patrick—What did they have in common?Two thousand years and still going strong: that’s the story of Christianity. And while the Christian martyrs and saints and orators may have gotten more press, the fact is the faith has been carried through history in the hearts and deeds of believers who—though beloved to us now—were simply living ordinary lives of devotion.“It would be almost impossible to imagine ten people more different from each other than these,” editor John Perry says. “This [is] the first truth of Christian living: anybody, anywhere can be a champion of the faith, an example and inspiration to all who follow.”There’s no dry biography here, though. Each story teems with fresh insight. D. L. Moody did some of his most powerful evangelizing by befriending ragged street children in Chicago. William F. Buckley never delivered a sermon, yet a Christian worldview informed his erudite, witty, output in print and broadcasting. To compose her poems, Anne Bradstreet had to understand science, history, the Bible, and literature, not to mention the political scene in both Massachusetts and England. You’ll look with new eyes, also, on the lives of George Washington Carver, Jane Austen, Galileo, Johann Sebastian Bach, Sergeant York, John Bunyan, and Saint Patrick. You might think you know their stories . . . but you don’t. Not yet.For lovers of biography, for homeschool or study groups, for anyone seeking encouragement in the Christian walk, 10 Christians Everyone Should Know is a valuable resource.

The 10 Commandments of Common Sense
by Hal UrbanThe author of Life's Greatest Lessons presents ten principles of practical wisdom to live by, drawn from readings of both the Old and New Testaments for people of all beliefs. Readers love Hal Urban's books for their common sense, their wisdom, and their inspirational affirmation of timeless values. With The 10 Commandments of Common Sense, he continues to build on his central theme -- that there's a direct relationship between good character and the quality of life. He also shows how the teachings of Scripture and the genuine practice of faith can be integral parts of a fulfilling existence. Urban draws on his own lifelong spiritual search -- which has included Protestant churches, the Catholic church, some Eastern philosophies, and human potential psychology -- to produce an ecumenical and nondogmatic examination of the Scriptures, finding in them clear and simple guidance for increasing both purpose and joy in our lives. Five of his principles are do's, as in "Keep a positive outlook on life" and "Bring out the best in other people." The other five are don't's, as in "Don't be seduced by popular culture" and "Don't judge other people." These ten commandments of timeless wisdom will inspire people of all faiths who are searching for more meaning and direction in their lives, no matter where it comes from.
