Unstoppable: Step into Your Purpose, Run Your Race, Embrace the Future
by Christine Caine"Unstoppable will encourage you to run the race God has placed before you with new confidence." – Joyce Meyer, Bible teacher and bestselling author Now includes discussion questions for small-group study. Have you been a spiritual spectator for too long, waiting on the sidelines, thinking God could never use you for something big? Maybe you have been searching for greater purpose. Well get prepared, because God has a baton ready to put in your hand. Christine Caine didn't think she had what it took to make a difference in the world. Then, inspired by her love of Olympic relays, Caine decided that she should start a relay herself--a global team of individuals and organizations passing a baton to one another in a race to end human trafficking. Now Caine's organization, A21, is on a mission to end slavery, one woman, one man, one child, at a time which sometimes means operating in some of the most dangerous situations on earth--all because Caine realized that with God leading the relay, she was unstoppable. With fascinating stories and inspiring Scripture, Unstoppable takes us on Caine's journey from feelings of inadequacy to trust in God's provision to joy in seeing victory over suffering. Her remarkable story inspires us to embrace the power of being on God's team--whether we are fighting human trafficking, leading a church, or starting a movement for good in our own community. No longer stuck on the sidelines, we will see how God has uniquely prepared us for the big dreams He calls us to carry out in His name. If you think your faith isn't strong enough to conquer something big like human trafficking, think again. In Unstoppable, you will learn to recognize what you can do, knowing that when God calls your name, you will be ready, hand outstretched to receive the baton.

by Kim Anderson&“Unstuck covers it all—personal development, relationships with friends, marriage, the whole lot of it . . . Emerging from the rut is possible.&”—Lori Zabka, cohost of the Coming Unglued podcast If you are like the countless women licensed therapist Kim Anderson has counseled, you have unknowingly chosen to live small and let hurt, anger, sadness, loneliness, fear, or shame call the shots. The good news is: you can change. In Unstuck, Kim uncovers sixteen myths that keep women from walking in the freedom and joy they were created to experience. These myths, adopted during seasons of pain and fear, are fueled by feelings of not-enough and if-only. And while these myths may seem logical and necessary, they are actually toxic and hold women back from being all they can be. Kim walks women through how to challenge their false beliefs and helps them stop living small, step out of their rut, and get Unstuck. &“If you feel &‘stuck&’ in your personal development, marriage, relationships with friends, or any other area, this book will give you just the tools and encouragement you need to emerge from that rut and fly.&”—Shaunti Feldhahn, bestselling author of For Women Only &“Her book explores its way toward suggestions for leading full, fulfilling lives . . . a self-help guide that starts Christian women on a path to a new life.&”—Foreword Reviews &“Shows women (and this man as well!) how to trade lives of frustration and complacency for purpose and passion, regardless of what the peer pressure might be.

Unteachable Lessons: Why Wisdom Can't Be Taught (and Why That's Okay)
by Carl McColmanWhy Christian spirituality must be "caught" rather than "taught."We speak of spirituality as a &“journey,&” which implies not only a destination toward which we travel, but countless adventures encountered along the way. The journey is the destination—both at once. We may all be trying to get to the heart of God, but there are infinite ways to get there. Can wisdom collected along the pilgrim path even be captured in words, codified into a book? Probably not. And why do the wisest books refuse to offer glib formulas or step-by-step instructions for happiness or enlightenment? Why are the great spiritual classics mostly just an invitation to keep our eyes, ears—and especially hearts—open?Because we&’re often stumbling on miracles while we&’re looking for something else.Using engaging and disarming stories from his own life, Carl McColman, a leading author of books in spirituality, gently leads readers toward a recognition that although the wisdom of the past is worth reading, hearing or reading others&’ experience of God is ultimately no substitute for opening our own eyes, ears, and hearts to God.

Unterzakhn (Pantheon Graphic Library)
by Leela CormanA mesmerizing, heartbreaking graphic novel of immigrant life on New York&’s Lower East Side at the turn of the twentieth century, as seen through the eyes of twin sisters whose lives take radically and tragically different paths. For six-year-old Esther and Fanya, the teeming streets of New York&’s Lower East Side circa 1910 are both a fascinating playground and a place where life&’s lessons are learned quickly and often cruelly. In drawings that capture both the tumult and the telling details of that street life, Unterzakhn (Yiddish for &“Underthings&”) tells the story of these sisters: as wide-eyed little girls absorbing the sights and sounds of a neighborhood of struggling immigrants; as teenagers taking their own tentative steps into the wider world (Esther working for a woman who runs both a burlesque theater and a whorehouse, Fanya for an obstetrician who also performs illegal abortions); and, finally, as adults battling for their own piece of the &“golden land,&” where the difference between just barely surviving and triumphantly succeeding involves, for each of them, painful decisions that will have unavoidably tragic repercussions.
