If your life doesn't look the way you expected, that doesn't mean God can't use you. If we know God has already won the battle, why do we still struggle The Christian life often doesn't feel like the stained-glass images we remember from childhood--happy, holy, hopeful. But God never promised that we won't have trouble. Rather, He promises to be with us through the storm. Shannon Bream, the number-one New York Times bestselling author of The Women of the Bible Speak series, returns with a fresh collection of biblical stories that will hearten readers who feel stuck in a spiritual rut. People in the Bible--the very people in those stained-glass windows--struggled the exact way we do. Shannon chronicles unlikely biblical heroes, including: Moses, the slave-turned-prince who faced constant curveballs in life. Daniel, the exile who maintained his integrity in the most hostile environment imaginable. Joseph, the "chosen one" who had family trauma like you wouldn't believe. Jonah, who ran away from his mission and ended up at the bottom of the sea. Elijah, the bold prophet who went from miracles to extreme loneliness. Peter, the impulsive and changeable fisherman who became a "rock" of the faith. Their journeys were full of trials, but they found abounding peace in Jesus. Nothing Is Impossible with God is an encouraging reminder of how the Lord is willing and able to bless us more than we can possibly imagine. It will comfort, inspire, and equip you for life's challenges by showing that nothing is impossible with Him.

The next, his spirit was lifted through a tunnel of living light—carried straight into the radiant throne room of Heaven. At just 20 years old, Gabe Poirot flatlined after a catastrophic accident. Though doctors were able to revive him, Gabe remained in a coma that would last 18 days. But death was only the beginning of his story.

What did Jesus look like when you met Him face-to-face? What does heaven sound like? What is the key to answered prayer? Why does God allow suffering? Key Revelations Include: Heaven is more real, more powerful, and more alive than you’ve ever imagined. You are loved with the same love the Father has for Jesus. Hell has no claim on you--the blood of Jesus secured your destiny. You were created to rule and reign with Christ, both now and forever. Perfect For: Believers ready for fresh fire and breakthrough. Christians who refuse religion and want real encounter. Anyone facing fear of death, grief, or intimidation of the enemy. Through a powerful life review marked by mercy—not condemnation—Gabe reveals a God whose love is relentless, personal, and far greater than most people have ever imagined.

You don’t have to be afraid of death. Heaven is real. From the pavement of a brutal accident to the sapphire floor of Heaven, Gabe’s story will activate your faith, dismantle every lie, and ignite your spirit with the unshakable reality of eternity.

And we can choose to fill that time with kindness, especially toward ourselves." "Thank you, Christian Watson, for sharing this magnificent creation with the world. Mr. Skelly is exactly what we all need right now."

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From the Academy Award–winning actor and author of Greenlights comes an inspiring, faith-filled, and often hilarious collection of personal poetry and prayers about navigating the rodeo of life and chasing down the original dream, belief. My prayers are my poems are my prayers. I’ve always relied on logic to make sense of myself and the world. A prescriptionist at heart, I’ve always looked to reason to find the rhyme, the practical to get to the mystical, the choreography to find the dance, the proof to get to the truth, and reality to get to the dream. I’ve been finding that tougher to do lately. It’s more than hard to know what to believe in; it’s hard to believe. But I don’t want to quit believing, and I don’t want to stop believing in . . . humanity, you, myself, our potential. I think it’s time for us to flip the script on what’s historically been our means of making sense, and instead open our aperture to enchantment and look to faith, belief, and dreams for our reality. Let’s sing more than we might make sense, believe in more than the world can conclude, get more impressed with the wow instead of the how, let inspiration interrupt our appointments, dream our way to reality, serve some soul food to our hungry heads, put proof on the shelf for a season, and rhyme our way to reason. Forget logic, certainty, owning, or making a start-up company of it; let’s go beyond what we can merely imagine, and believe, in the poetry of life.

A #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER First responders run toward things the rest of us run away from. What makes a person want to become a first responder? As in his bestselling book Unbroken Bonds of Battle, retired Marine Johnny Joey Jones didn’t have to look further than his closest family and friends to find frontline defenders—some he’s known since childhood, some he served with, and others have become friends and mentors. In this book, you will meet: A game warden whose “miracle K-9” helped him save 22 lives in search and rescue missions A firefighter who chose the job over a lucrative family career A police officer who died placing his squad car between civilians and a drunk driver going the wrong way on the highway—and his sister, who responded by becoming a deputy A border patrol medic working to save lives in the desert heat A SWAT sniper describing how to handle a high-speed chase One thing all these people have in common: none of them wants to be called a hero. Their inspiring and unique stories are almost always overlooked when it comes to patriotic recognition of service and sacrifice. With vivid storytelling, Jones brings to life dramatic rescues, heart-wrenching losses, and awe-inspiring acts of courage. He delves deep into what drives these brave men and women, offering an intimate look at their personal and professional lives. Behind the Badge will leave you moved, inspired, and reminded of the true meaning of heroism—because these first responders are hometown heroes at heart.

A #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER From America’s favorite government teacher, a “fascinating and fun” (Adam Grant) portrait of twelve ordinary Americans whose courage formed the character of our country. In The Small and the Mighty, Sharon McMahon proves that the most remarkable Americans are often ordinary people who didn’t make it into the textbooks. Not the presidents, but the telephone operators. Not the aristocrats, but the schoolteachers. Through meticulous research, she discovers history’s unsung characters and brings their rich, riveting stories to light for the first time. You’ll meet a woman astride a white horse riding down Pennsylvania Ave, a young boy detained at a Japanese incarceration camp, a formerly enslaved woman on a mission to reunite with her daughter, a poet on a train, and a teacher who learns to work with her enemies. More than one thing is bombed, and multiple people surprisingly become rich. Some rich with money, and some wealthy with things that matter more. This is a book about what really made America – and Americans – great. McMahon’s cast of improbable champions will become familiar friends, lighting the path we journey in our quest to make the world more just, peaceful, good, and free.

A #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER Heroes and Nashville star Hayden Panettiere reclaims her story in a remarkably candid memoir. Hayden Panettiere’s career in entertainment began before she was old enough to walk. From early commercials to film and television roles in hits like Remember the Titans, her career unfolded in the public eye, resulting in tremendous success by her early teens. She had become a fixture of early-2000s pop culture, earning acclaim for performances in Heroes, Nashville (which earned her two Golden Globe nominations), and beyond—while quietly carrying the weight of expectations that came with being Hollywood’s “It girl.” Behind the image was a far more complicated reality. As Hayden entered adulthood, the industry that once felt playful grew unforgiving as she learned by experience the pressure placed on young performers, the hefty price that often comes with fame, and how quickly someone else can take control of your story. She recounts being scrutinized by tabloids, watching her body and private pain become public property, and performing storylines on-screen that echoed trauma she was living through off-camera. In this memoir, Hayden shares a rare and intimate glimpse into her life behind closed doors, opening up about postpartum depression, addiction and recovery, trauma, domestic abuse, and loss. She holds nothing back as she reflects on the moments she calls “lifequakes”— experiences that fractured her sense of self and forced her to rebuild it from the inside out. In This Is Me: A Reckoning Hayden showcases her most vulnerable role yet. . .this is her story, on her terms.
