Trading Faces : Removing The Masks That Hide Your God-Given Identity
$18.99
A biblical and practical guide on how to replace false identities with the healthy truth
Seeking fulfilment, many Christians turn to identities that promise to give their lives meaning: profession, roles as spouse or parent, personality types, even sexuality–anything that can be held up to others as the empowering core of who they are. But when these new labels don’t give them any real foundation for hope, they end up feeling disappointed, directionless, and defeated. Those false identities turn out to be only sand.
John and Angel Beeson have seen this problem again and again in their respective roles as pastor and counselor. And they want searching Christians to know the truth: a fulfilling understanding of self can only be found by rooting one’s identity in the unchangeable and nonnegotiable understanding of who we were created to be.
This husband-and-wife team considers ten identities that masquerade as truth and challenge readers to trade those labels for the ones Christ offers. They explain why true identity matters, how our masks can suffocate us, and how substitute identities can become idolatry. They share real struggles from real people. And they offer hope in a comprehensive index of our identities in Christ, both individual and the collective identity of the church.

Purple Basics : Understanding The Message Of The Gospel In The New Testamen
$14.99The Purple Basics is the “prequel” to The Purple Book-the bestselling Bible study covering biblical foundations. The focus of this study is what has been called “The Gospel Creed”:
The gospel is the good news that God became man in Jesus Christ. He lived the life we should have lived and died the death we should have died . . . in our place. Three days later He rose from the dead, proving He is the Son of God and offering the gift of salvation and forgiveness of sins to anyone who repents and believes in Him.
Millions have attended church and studied Scripture yet lament they lack confidence to share the gospel. This study will give you both the confidence and clarity to communicate this life-changing message with others. Christ’s death and resurrection provide the truth that the gospel is “public truth”-that Jesus actually lived, died, and rose again from the grave.
You can spend a lifetime studying Scripture and barely scratch the surface of God’s knowledge. Yet He has communicated enough for you to know that He exists and how you can enter into a relationship with Him.
Each chapter includes:
*Introductions to the Gospel Creed
*Bible study questions to understand the gospel
