What does it mean to be an authentic person?

With extensive words of wisdom scattered throughout--both from great human minds and from the Scriptures--this is the most thought-provoking, life-changing devotional you may ever read!
Lisa Velthouse Hardcover, 272 pp., $16.99 SaltRiver (April 25, 2011)
For Lisa Velthouse's whole life, Christianity had been about getting things right. Obeying her parents. Not drinking. Not cursing. Not having premarital sex. Vowing to save her first kiss until she got engaged, even writing a book called Saving My First Kiss (which, it turns out, does not help a girl get a date). Yet after two decades of trying to earn God's love, she found her faith was lonely, empty, and unsatisfying. Craving Grace is the true story of how God used a bitter heart, a broken promise, and the sweetness of honey to reveal the stunning wonder that is grace.

Alex McFarland and Elmer Towns Paperback, 224 pp., $14.99 B&H (May 1, 2011)
Would a loving God really send people to hell? Can we trust what the Bible says? Is Jesus the only way to heaven? Becoming a Christian does not mean that all of the questions are instantly answered. In fact, more questions are likely to follow. However, not having knowledge can rob you of the joy that comes from confidently sharing your faith with others. 10 Questions Every Christian Must Answer provides responses to the toughest conversations regarding one's inward faith. Readers can be sure this content is backed by sharp minds, deep thinking, and the unchanging Word of God.
Mark Mittelberg, Lee Strobel Paperback, 352 pp., $14.99 Tyndale House Publishers (October 25, 2010)
"Why would God allow evil and suffering? Why trust the Bible when it's full of mistakes? Why are Christians so judgmental?" Some questions can stop a conversation. Today, more than ever, people are raising difficult, penetrating questions about faith, God, and the Bible. Based on an exclusive new Barna survey of 1,000 Christians, this book presents compelling, easy-to-grasp answers to ten of the most troubling questions facing Christians today, from the existence of heaven to abortion and homosexuality, as well as the question of whether evolution eliminates our need for a God.
Barry C. Black Paperback, 256 pp., $14.99 Tyndale House Publishers, Inc. (April 15, 2011)
Most people see trouble as something negative. But what if those troubles actually lead to greater blessing and purpose? A retired U.S. Navy admiral and Senate chaplain distills the wisdom gained from thirty years as a counselor, theologian, and psychologist. Drawing on Scripture and his own experiences as a counselor and chaplain to some of the most powerful people in the world, Barry Black shows us how to let God use our pain for his glory by blessing others--and how that can help heal our own pain.
 Bestselling author and pastor, Dr. Tony Evans discusses why black/white relations in the culture, at large, and in the church, in particular, continue to be a stain on America's respectable reputation in his latest book, Oneness Embraced. Through the pages of this new book, Evans seeks to promote a biblical understanding of the kingdom foundation of oneness by detailing why we don't have it, what we need to do to get it, and what it will look like when we live it.
 A 7-point inspection of a healthy faith-building church in the twenty-first century. Utilizing insights from great leaders such as Rick Warren, Bill Hybels, and John Maxwell, among many others, Pastor James R. Jones, Jr. outlines a clear picture of a twenty-first century, healthy, faith-building church.
 With powerful true stories, illustrations from the life of Christ, and specific activities for readers to engage, DO Something! is a hopeful and practical book that shows how to live out faith in a way that improves people's lives. With transparency and humility, Miles McPherson shares his own shortcomings as a young pastor trying to connect with people in need.

The Egyptians in Exodus 1 were intent on enslaving the Israelites, wearing them down so that God's chosen people would become disillusioned and not live up to their destiny. Of the original two million Israelites who received God's invitation to enter the Promised Land, only two actually entered it!
 God rejected Cain's offering. Cain responded with anger and depression. An amazing thing about God's counsel to Cain is found in what God did not say. God did not say anything specifically about Cain's offering? There was something much more important at stake. Through its discussion of this biblical lesson and others, More Than The Gift challenges readers to reexamine their perspective on Christian giving and to consider the proposition that Christian giving always has been and continues to be about much more than the gift itself.
