New York Times bestselling author Dr. David Jeremiah's theological insights are already valued by millions of readers. Now he brings that same depth to novels that explore the end of the world . . .
As leader of a special military unit charged with stopping potential pandemics before they spread, John "Haggs" Haggerty has a front-row seat to the sharp increase in natural disasters that precede the Rapture--including plagues, earthquakes, famines, wars, and rumors of war. And each crisis is becoming more intense.
Meanwhile, his own world feels like it's falling apart. He's still caught in the grief of messing up his relationship with his ex-wife, and he's trying to keep it together so that he can show up for his adult daughter before she wants him out of her life entirely. As both personal and professional situations push him to the brink, Haggs finds himself stretched further than ever in his desire to be the kind of good person he knows he should be.
Just when it seems as if things might turn around, Haggs is forced to decide between his need to find solutions and his need for personal redemption.
Vanished is Left Behind for a new generation--apocalyptic action and emotion that's infused with Dr. Jeremiah's perspective and compassion.

Discover the God Who Draws Near
In A Christian’s Pocket Guide to the Presence of God, Daniel R. Hyde invites readers into one of Scripture’s most breathtaking themes: the God who is not distant, abstract, or hidden, but wonderfully with His people. Tracing the story of God’s presence from Eden to the New Creation, Hyde offers a clear, devotional, and deeply biblical exploration of how the Triune God makes Himself known, dwells with His people, and transforms their lives through His nearness.
This concise guide helps Christians understand that God’s presence is not merely a feeling or mystical experience – it is the personal, covenantal nearness of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Whether revealing Himself in the Garden, the tabernacle, the temple, the incarnation of Christ, the indwelling Spirit, or the eternal glory to come, God consistently moves toward His people in grace.
In this powerful, accessible book, you will:
Trace the storyline of Scripture through the lens of God’s presence – from creation to consummation.
See how God pursues His people even in moments of rebellion, wilderness and exile.
Discover Jesus Christ as the ultimate revelation of God’s nearness – Immanuel, “God with us.”
Understand the life-changing work of the Holy Spirit, who makes God’s presence a daily reality for believers.
Be encouraged in worship, prayer, and perseverance, knowing that God goes with you wherever you go.
Richly theological yet warmly pastoral, A Christian’s Pocket Guide to the Presence of God is perfect for personal devotion, small groups, or anyone longing to experience the comfort, courage, and joy of God’s nearness. This book will deepen your understanding – and your awe – of the God who delights to dwell with His people.

This accessible yet powerful addition to the Pocket Guide series draw together the threads of Scripture to help us understand the power of God's word when viewed in its completeness.
Surprising Wisdom for Living Well in a Broken World
Enjoying the human journey through this world can seem impossible. So much is going wrong in these dark days. And the daily personal demands never let up. Who has the time—much less the freedom of heart—to play, to laugh, to delight? What’s more, those following Christ can also feel duty-bound to live in sacrificial austerity.
But God’s strategy for wise living includes bold enjoyment. In fact, any “Christianity” that feels embarrassed about enjoying God’s good gifts dishonors him and leaves Christians with less to give their suffering world.
With a pastor’s heart, Ray Ortlund invites readers to embrace God’s strategy for facing reality and living well. Meditating on Ecclesiastes 11:9–10, Ortlund explains how following Christ here in this world is a nuanced mix of both suffering and happiness. Ecclesiastes is a gospel call to accept the suffering and to savor the happiness—and savor it boldly.
Delivers a Gospel Call to Enjoyment: Pastor Ray Ortlund reminds readers that God not only allows us enjoyment but even commands it
Wise Insights: Offers an extended meditation on Ecclesiastes 11:9–10, enriched with personal anecdotes and wisdom from Christians of the past
Countercultural: Affirms the actual joys God has placed in everyday life, defying today’s cynical and sometimes hyperspiritual culture
Singer Laura Story Explains Why Humble Reverence Is Essential for Honoring God in Our Songs and with Our Lives
We were made for God, not the other way around. Living for God's glory—revering him above all else—gives us purpose and lasting joy but we often get distracted and become too self-focused, believing that we are the center of our lives. From singing at church on Sundays to our work and leisure throughout the week, we are in daily need of refocusing our attention on God.
Laura Story seeks to lead Christians in scriptural, reverential worship all 7 days of the week. Sharing her 20 years of experience as a worship leader and award-winning recording artist, she clarifies what worship is, what it isn’t, and what’s at stake without it. She then explains 4 everyday ways our reverence is often diverted away from God. Finally, Story demonstrates how to apply biblical principles, seeking God in humility and reverence through singing and daily life. With a heart for music ministry, this accessible book also speaks to everyday Christians who long to engage in proper devotion, leading readers in rich worship that reflects who God is rather than who we are.
Accessible, Holistic Guide for Worship: Thoughtfully explores Scripture and church history, creating a Bible-focused theology of worship

You love Jesus. You want to live a life worthy of him. But how do you become someone who lives wholly devoted to God?

Long-time Bible teacher Cheryl Marshall carefully and realistically unpacks Romans 12:1-2 to explore worshipping God in your everyday life as a living sacrifice. Sharing stories from real women's lives, too, she will show you how whole-life worship involves…
Finding lasting motivation for devotion to God

In a culture constantly talking about identity, sexuality and "being your authentic self", have you ever stopped to ask: what's shaping the way we see the world?
In Getting God's Perspective, Andrew Bunt uncovers the worldviews beneath today's cultural conversations and compares the secular story with the bigger, better story of the gospel.
With clarity, pastoral wisdom and real-life honesty, he explores what's at stake and why Jesus' teaching makes sense within God's design.
Accessible, thoughtful and compassionate, this short introduction will help you think clearly, stand confidently and live graciously as you follow Christ in a confusing world.
In this biblical meditation, Jen Wilkin offers Christians a compelling and hopeful perspective on aging and the aged.
The world tells us at every turn that aging is a steep descent into irrelevance, one to be avoided at all cost. This false story diminishes not only us but our elders and the time God gives us. But Scripture reveals a markedly different pattern of life, one of increasing value, that calls us to embrace our age and number our days rightly.
In this extended exploration of aging, Jen Wilkin draws poetic parallels between the first half of life and the second. Exploring the changing realities of caregiving, abilities, and potentiality, she helps us to trace God’s give-and-take design at every stage, drawing us toward a vision for a whole-life pro-life ethic. Wilkin offers practical insights on body image, honoring the elderly, the essential value of family, and more. She urges us to trade an anti-aging mindset for the pursuit of biblical wisdom, encouraging believers to lean into—not fight—their place in the true story of the arc of life.
You are not your thoughts – especially the ones that frighten you. Feeling guilt, shame, fear and embarrassment about intrusive thoughts can seem inevitable. But what if they weren't what they appeared? What if they provoked compassion not condemnation?
If your mind has ever felt like a trap, When Thoughts Get Stuck will help you understand why. More than that, it will show you a gentle pathway to peace of mind; re-introducing you to the unshakeable love of God for the anxious and obsessive.
Written by two people who live with OCD, this book combines personal experience with psychological insight and spiritual wisdom. With honesty and compassion, Anglican priest and mental health advocate Will Van Der Hart and mental health communicator Thea Joshi expose the hidden struggle of obsessive thinking – especially when it gets tangled with Christian faith.
Whether you have a formal OCD or Anxiety diagnosis, or if you've secretly struggled with intrusive thoughts alone, this book is for you.
Inside you'll discover:
What OCD really is (- and what it's not) How biblical principles and OCD mindsets interact Why we can let go of persistent guilt and condemnation Practical tools for handling obsessions and compulsions when they appear Biblical truth and clinical insights that break the cycle of fear Each chapter includes spiritual encouragement, expert-informed guidance, and a prayer to help you to embrace the love of God for you.
When Thoughts Get Stuck offers a timely, compassionate, and deeply personal exploration of OCD and obsessive thinking. Written with pastoral care and the warmth of personal experience, Will and Thea do a superb job of providing readers with practical tools for breaking cycles of rumination. This empowering book is a must read for church leaders and for those who struggle with OCD and obsessive thoughts.

Each generation has had their ministerial focus. Many have witnessed the focus on Millennials as well as Generation Z. We are now in a time where the next generation (Generation Alpha) are just now old enough to enter student ministries. And just as we have seen a need for how to effectively reach millennials and Generation Z, Generation Alpha has their own unique needs. They are a generation raised exclusively in the technological age, where the decisions they make today can potentially follow them into adulthood. Many of their relationships are fostered via technology, but there are also those that have been raised in isolation as parents have chosen to remove their children more and more from traditional education. This resource offers expertise provided by on-the-ground interaction from Shane Pruitt as the Next Generation Director at NAMB but will also be paired with scholarly research from Shelly Melia who oversees the Family Ministry and Children's Ministry programs at Dallas Baptist University. In Reaching Generation Alpha, Shane Pruitt and Shelly Melia provide professional, personal, and well-researched insights into reaching the next generation. This book offers more than a guide on how to give wisdom to specific situations often associated with Generation Alpha. More importantly, this book discusses the ways for ministry leaders to effectively connect with this upcoming generation and present them with the gospel.
