Living Every Day with Passion and Purpose

On becoming the best version of yourself — and the spiritual framework underneath that pursuit. Kelly at his most practical and motivating.

Resisting Happiness

A True Story About Why We Sabotage Ourselves

An honest look at the invisible resistance that keeps us from the life God designed for us — and how to stop letting it win.

C.S. Lewis

C.S. Lewis

Mere Christianity

The Intellectual Case for the Faith

The book that has brought more skeptics to faith than almost any other. Lewis builds the case for Christianity from first principles, with no assumption that you're already a believer.

C.S. Lewis

The Screwtape Letters

Letters from a Senior Tempter

A senior demon writes to his nephew on the art of corrupting a human soul. Funny, unsettling, and one of the sharpest portraits of spiritual warfare ever written.

C.S. Lewis

The Problem of Pain

Why a Good God Allows Suffering

The hardest question in Christianity, answered with intellectual honesty and no easy comfort. If you've ever asked why God lets it hurt, start here.

Max Lucado

Unshakable Hope

Building Our Lives on the Promises of God

Twelve promises from scripture that hold when everything else gives way. Lucado at his warmest — written for anyone who needs something solid to stand on.

Finding Calm in a Chaotic World

Built on Philippians 4, this book walks through what it actually means to hand your anxiety to God — and what to do when you've handed it over and it comes back.

Max Lucado

You Are Never Alone

Trust in the Miracle of God's Presence and Power

A reminder that the miracles of the Gospels weren't just history — they were a portrait of a God who still shows up for his people in the middle of real life.
