Dare To Bloom
$19.99
Either by choice or by circumstance, we all encounter times of starting over. Dare to Bloom urges us to be both vulnerable and resilient in new seasons of life as we boldly position ourselves for what God has for us next.
The daughter of Nigerian immigrants, Zim Ugochukwu (now Flores) was uprooted from her community as a young girl and began to learn what it looks like to keep her true identity even when the world around her falls apart. At age 19, she cloned a gene as a biologist and then soon became the youngest precinct judge for the state of North Carolina. In her twenties, she ran a national anti-tobacco campaign and also helped open a civil rights museum. She is the founder and former CEO of Travel Noire, an award-winning boutique travel company, and is a savvy world traveler. But what she most wants you to know is that you can reach your own unique successes as you step into who God made you to be.
As she shares her incredible story and poignant “Zimisms” in Dare to Bloom, Zim vulnerably reveals the struggles she’s faced and how even her failures have helped shape her sense of purpose. This gorgeous hardcover features four-color photography from Zim’s travels around the world.
In times of change, it can be easy to think we’re only as good as our last success. Zim’s unshakable faith, her love for solving tough problems, and her knack for building community compel her to delve into even the uncomfortable and painful parts of her journey in order to inspire us in our own season of life. Dare to Bloom weaves together story and practical ideas as it inspires us to look past fleeting circumstances to become single-minded about our identity in God and our place in His incredible world.
Dare to Bloom is a powerful gift for readers in times of transition or struggle who need a reminder that their deepest identity never changes and they can find success and joy in each new beginning.

Case For Christmas Study Guide (Student/Study Guide)
$10.99In his bestselling book The Case for Christ, Lee Strobel retraced his spiritual journey from atheism to faith by showing how the evidence he obtained from experts in the field of history, archaeology, and ancient manuscripts led him to the verdict that Jesus truly was the Son of God. Now, in this four-week study for Christmas (DVD/digital downloads sold separately), Lee investigates the story surrounding the birth of Jesus-and how we can know that it is true.
In each session, he will explore the following aspects of the Christmas story:
*What the Gospel accounts actually say, what other stories about Jesus’ birth emerged in the first through third centuries, and how we can know the biblical accounts are accurate
*The Bible’s claim that Jesus was born of a virgin and whether that idea-and other aspects of the Christmas story-developed from the pagan religions of the day
*Some aspects of the Christmas story that don’t seem to match with the historical or archaeological record, such as the census, the existence of Nazareth, and the slaughter of the innocents
*The great mystery of the incarnation-how Jesus could be both fully God and fully human at the same time-and how we can know he is truly the promised MessiahThe Case for Christmas invites participants to examine the evidence for themselves and consider why Christmas matters in the first place. It will point them to the inescapable conclusion that Jesus truly was who he said he was: the divine Son of God.
Designed for use with The Case for Christmas Video Study/The Case for Easter Video Study (sold separately).

Because Of Bethlehem Study Guide (Student/Study Guide)
$10.99Each year, the Christmas season compels people to ask the Christmas questions. What’s the big deal about the baby in the manger? Who was he? What does his birth have to do with me? Of all the responses to these questions, there is one that stands out from the rest: Because of Bethlehem, God knows what it is like to be a human. When we talk to God about our challenges, our struggles, and our tough times, he understands, because he’s been there. He’s been here.
Because of Bethlehem, we have a friend in heaven. We have a Savior in heaven. Christmas begins what Easter celebrates. The child in the cradle became the king on the cross. Because he did, there are no marks on our record, just grace. Because of Bethlehem, we have the promise God is always near us. Always for us. Always in us. We may forget him, but he never forgets us.
No day is accidental or incidental. No acts are random or wasted. Just look at the Bethlehem birth. A king levies a tax. Joseph is forced to travel. Mary, as round as a ladybug, bounces on a donkey’s back. The hotel is full. The hour is late. The event is one big hassle. Yet out of the hassle, hope was born. Christmas reminds us that “everything works together for the good of those who love God” (Romans 8:28). And long after the Christmas guests have left, the carolers have gone home, and the lights have come down, that promise endures.

*God Has a Face (chapters 2, 4)
*Worship Works Wonders (chapters 5, 6)
