Salty : The Deconstruction Of A Good Christian
$18.99
“Growing up, I wanted to desire God. But I never desired him like I desired popularity, pizza or People magazine. .?.?. It was infinitely easier to play the part of the good Christian than to actually live like one.
Hollylu Jostes was a good Christian. From the outside, she was everything Proverbs 31 required. But inside her foundation was fundamentally flawed. She wanted God but not at the cost of everything. She wanted to be “in the fold” and saved from damnation without it affecting her decisions on any given day. In the club but not a Gold Star member. This is the problem with lukewarm faith-it kills you before you feel it killing you.
Weary of claiming a faith that promised supernatural and transformational power, yet living with fear, anxiety, and doubt, Hollylu was at the ultimate fork in the road: reject her faith or stop thinking so deeply about it. The third option wasn’t even on her radar: total commitment to God.
Salty: The Deconstruction of a Good Christian will take you on Hollylu’s journey as she examines her faith in relation to her everyday life. Her refreshingly candid story-full of feisty exchanges with God-will inspire you to live as salt of the earth and as an agent of change, fully surrendered and transformed by Jesus.

Because Of Bethlehem Study Guide (Student/Study Guide)
Original price was: $10.99.$4.40Current price is: $4.40.Add to cartEach 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)
