No matter how much you want to escape the renter’s cycle, buying a house isn’t always a good investment. Your home can make or break your chance to generate wealth and freedom—and this book will show you how to make the right decisions to give you the most financial flexibility possible.
Scott Trench and Mindy Jensen of the BiggerPockets Money Podcast have been buying and selling houses for a collective thirty years.

- Which early decisions and steps will help you turn your first home into a future cash-flowing investment
- Whether fixer-upper houses and home renovations are really worth it
- How to choose a real estate agent and a lender who have your best interests in mind

Being responsive to God is at the heart of prophecy. But readers of ancient prophecies and apocalyptic literature-including those in the Old Testament-can come away thoroughly perplexed. Are the prophets speaking about their own times, about our present, or about some still-unrealized future?
It's common to study prophecy with a focus on the sole question of prediction and fulfillment, either for the sake of apologetics or for understanding the end times, but such an approach can fail to track with the original intent of the authors.
John Walton applies his signature method to help us recover the lost world of the prophets. To read these biblical books well, we must understand: the role of the prophet, the nature of prophetic literature, the theological significance of prophecy, and how apocalyptic differs from prophecy.
A fresh reading of the Old Testament text in light of the ancient Near Eastern context can open new avenues of awareness. Walton provides a clear, helpful guide to the nature of biblical prophecy and apocalyptic literature that will help readers avoid potential misuse and reclaim the message of the prophets for their lives.
We aren't meant to wait for holiness-we're meant to pursue it. God commands Christians to actively 'be holy,' but what does that look like in daily life? Rather than overwhelming legalism or loose boundaries, Don Whitney encourages us to find a practical middle ground through biblical habits.
Don Whitney's convicting insight on spiritual disciplines will challenge you to grow in new ways as a Christian. Now updated and revised, this edition offers practical suggestions for cultivating spiritual growth, diving into practices such as: absorbing Scripture, prayer, worship, Evangelism, serving, fasting, silence and solitude, journaling, and more.
Regardless of where you are in your Christian walk, this anniversary edition provides refreshing and profound encouragement for your spirit.
After a devastating series of personal losses, Larry Randolph finally had things under control. Then one morning while praying, he felt God speak two simple words to his heart: 'Therapy dogs.'
There was only one problem. Larry didn't have a dog, and hadn't since the loss of his beloved basset hound, Gus. Why would God say that? Could Larry even open himself up to loving a dog again? He had far more questions than answers. But then came Grace.
Together, Larry and his beloved yellow lab Gracie brought hope and healing to hundreds of sick and lonely people. But when Larry's own life takes a shocking and terrifying turn, it's up to Gracie to rescue Larry and his family too.

Financial independence buys you the most valuable asset on the planet—freedom. The freedom to spend your money, and more importantly, your time, however you see fit.

As with most things in life, the more carefully you plan for financial independence, the less you’ll need to worry about the outcome. Live your best life today, with the satisfaction and comfort of knowing your financial future is in good hands—your own. PCR: Plan, Course-Correct, Repeat.
In The Art of Leading Change, author Mike Bonem asks: What is the primary distinction between the science and the art of change leadership? His answer: People! And leading people in churches and ministries is messy. The science of change leadership doesn't ignore the human element, but it tends to overlook the differences between people and the significant impact those differences have on how to best lead change. The art of leading change is all about people. We can't do the work God has called us to do without people, yet each individual-and each collection of individuals-is unique. This resource is a guide to better understand and practice the art of leading people through change.
The heart of the book describes ten perspectives on leading change. Each perspective is captured in a memorable phrase that underscores an important principle, such as 'Lead with trust' and 'Resisters are not the enemy.' The ten perspectives are bookended by two other essential insights: 'The Challenge of Leading Change' examines the contours and underlying factors that make change so difficult in ministry settings. 'The Courage for Change,' at the book's conclusion, explores the conviction and fortitude leaders will need for the change journey.
