What’s feeding you?
We’re all taking input from a multitude of sources each day. It’s worth pausing for a moment to consider, “What am I feeding on? Is it good for me?

Check out the books below; who knows, maybe you’ll find new keys for your own walk with God, or discover a new way of looking at the world.

What a wealth! We are a blessed ministry, to have so many deep thinkers, theologians, artists, and revivalists on staff. Our staff don’t generally get time in the limelight, and that’s how they like it. We’re here to support and to serve, but it’s my hope that these books will strike a chord with you and help you speedily on your way, to wherever God is taking you.
P.S. The staff do also have digital products available. Charity Cook, for example has three new digital products in our Store → William Wood has several popular ones → and if you poke around the Store, you’ll find even more from Mike Hutchings, Tom Jones, and of course Randy Clark.
