God wants to transform His followers "into his likeness with ever-increasing glory" (2 Corinthians 3:18). But how does that happen? Can imperfect women really hope to become more like their perfect heavenly Father? Captivated by God, an interactive study ideal for individuals or small groups, guides women on their quest to know and love God and shows how they can become more like Him. Readers will learn about God's attributes as revealed in Scripture and about the steps every believer can take to grow in these traits. Captivated by God features eight topical studies. Topics include "The Mercy of God," "The Wisdom of God," "The Holiness of God," "The Love of God," and more. Each week's study examines an aspect of God's character, digs into Scripture to find out what His Word reveals about Him, offers readers the opportunity to reflect on their own character, and suggests practical action steps to help readers apply what they have learned.

What Wild at Heart did for men, Captivating is doing for women. Setting their hearts free. This groundbreaking book shows readers the glorious design of women before the fall, describes how the feminine heart can be restored, and casts a vision for the power, freedom, and beauty of a woman released to be all she was meant to be.

Why does the allegiance that radical terrorists give to their false cause exceed the allegiance that most Christians today give to Jesus Christ? In Insurgence, bestselling author Frank Viola presents a radical proposal for Christians. Namely, that we have lost the explosive, earthshaking gospel of the kingdom that Jesus, Paul, and the other apostles preached. Viola argues that we've lost this dynamic, titanic, living gospel and exchanged it for a gospel of religious duty or permissiveness and "easy believism." In today's politically charged era, Christians on the progressive left as well as the conservative right both equate their particular viewpoints with the kingdom of God. Viola challenges and dismantles these perspectives, offering a fresh and revolutionary look at the gospel of the kingdom. Viola writes with gripping power, challenging Christians to embrace an unparalleled allegiance to Jesus Christ and his kingdom. This high-octane message is being reclaimed today, launching a spiritual insurgence.

"Join pastor and preacher Richard Chin as he seeks to present you mature in Christ by delivering a clear, compelling picture of Jesus from the pages of Colossians." --Back cover.

Humans are hardwired for awe. Our hearts are always captured by something—that’s how God made us. But sin threatens to distract us from the glory of our Creator. All too often, we stand in awe of everything but God. Uncovering the lies we believe about all the earthly things that promise us peace, life, and contentment, Paul Tripp redirects our gaze to God’s awe-inducing glory—showing how such a vision has the potential to impact our every thought, word, and deed.

The Bible implores us to take a long look at Jesus, forcefully beckoning us to “come and see” through profound questions connected with Jesus’ death and resurrection. These questions drive us to consider not just the events themselves but also their meaning as we take a long look beneath the surface and find more of the never-ending treasures of Christ.
