A Fun-Filled Way to Draw Near to GodAs believers, we have God as our Father, and fathers love the sound of their children's laughter. So why not try something a little different for your daily devotions? If you want to lighten your mood while drawing near to God, or if you know someone who could use a laugh and a spiritual pick-me-up, this is just what you've been looking for. It's quick, easy, enjoyable--and thought-provoking too! Every day features the humorous cartoon artwork of Dennis Fletcher plus a short, powerful message that will uplift hearts and position minds to look for God in the day ahead.3-Minute Devotions to Laugh and Reflect is built on the ministry of Jesus, whose teachings were often brief, created great word pictures, and were sometimes punctuated with humor. This is a fun, low-key approach to daily devotions that promises to stay with you and encourage your faith.

Most of us are familiar with the exciting adventures of David and Goliath, Noah, or Daniel in the lions' den, but we don't always understand how they fit together. We lack context, and so we sometimes miss the point. The Most Important Stories of the Bible will give you a working knowledge of the key events in Scripture and how they flow into one big story. The book's 75 stories are compact, easy to read, and enjoyable. Each chapter includes a brief introduction that gives historical context to help you grasp the overall narrative of the Bible, and concludes with an explanation of why that story matters in our lives. There's a reason most of the Bible is made up of stories. They speak to us in a deep way, helping us internalize God's message. And in the end, understanding the stories of God's Word will help us connect more closely to Jesus, the greatest storyteller of all.

Dad, before you go to work, explain what I'm seeing on TV. It seems like cops are only shooting people who look like me. With the growing number of police shootings, communication with our children is very important to ensure their safety. Are Cops Only Shooting People Like Me? presents a poignant conversation between a concerned son and his father about why encounters between citizens and law enforcement can get out of hand, and how children can best be aware and prepared to handle these situations. Through his thoughtful words, Stan Campbell continues his mission to advocate for the justness and security of today's youth. No matter your race, this is a conversation that everyone should have with their children as well as the youth in the community, so we can all join together and stand for a unified action of de-escalation.
