Facing the Facts equips kids to understand and deal with the changes of puberty. It also examines love and dating.

More changes occur in your body and brain during puberty than during any other time in your life. Puberty marks the beginning of big changes in your relationships with your parents and with the opposite sex. It’s a wonderful and exhilarating time because you’re finally becoming an adult, but it can be a stressful and overwhelming time, too. If you don’t understand what’s happening to you, or why, ages 11 to 14 can be downright scary.

Facing the Facts was written to give you all of the information you need to understand exactly what’s happening to your body during the years ahead and why God planned it to happen just that way. You’ll learn about:

• The role of puberty in the development of sexuality
• How girls’ and boys’ bodies change, both inside and out
• Exactly how a woman gets pregnant and gives birth
• Why God wants you to save sex for marriage
• Love, dating, and how relationships mature
• Tough answers to some tough problems

Your body and its sexual nature are beautiful and exciting gifts from God that He wants you to understand and appreciate. Reading Facing the Facts and talking about it with your parents will help you be ready for the coming physical changes, equip you to handle the sexual pressures you’ll encounter throughout your life, and give you a better understanding of God’s perfect design for sex.

Today’s world is all about Now–a fast-moving, high-speed, on-demand lifestyle. But has this pace changed how we study the Bible?

This innovative devotional is designed to change how you interact with God’s Word. The Message//REMIX: Solo revolves around lectio divina, or “divine reading,” an ancient approach to exploring Scripture updated for today’s students. Each devotion delivers a unique, contemplative study that will encourage you to:

Read Uncover biblical wisdom and revelations as you learn to read without the typical limitations that often cut Bible reading short.
Think Immerse yourself in the passage as you place yourself in the story or meditate on words and phrases.
Pray Connect with him through listening prayer and praise as you encounter new ways to communicate with God.
Live Rest, reflect, or do as you discover how to take the Word with you throughout the day.

• An introduction to the lectio divina style of study
• A topical index for finding issues that impact your life
• Numbered devotions so you can start any day of the year
• A time of rest every seventh day

THE MESSAGE//REMIX “Solo” is a finalist in the “Inspiration and Gift Category” for the Christian Book Awards, 2008.

Go beyond mere tolerance to compassion for the Muslims.

“A war is raging for the minds and souls of Muslims today,” writes Nabeel Jabbour. “The eternal welfare of 1.4 billion people is at stake. They are being pulled in two directions—fanaticism on the one hand and moderation and open-mindedness on the other. How we deal with this window of opportunity will determine our relations with Muslims for generations to come.” At the same time, the Christian church must realize Jesus died for Muslims. In this book, Dr. Jabbour aims to help Western Christians go beyond mere tolerance to a passion for Muslims. He explains how that can be done in ways that are sensitive to Islamic culture, and he presents suggestions on how to build vital relationships with Muslims.

He was God but also man. Get to know Jesus as a person whose defining character trait was love.

SO WHO IS JESUS?
Albert Einstein wrote, “I am a Jew, but I am enthralled by the luminous figure of the Nazarene. Jesus is too colossal for the pen of phrasemongers, however artful. No man can read the Gospels without feeling the actual presence of Jesus. His personality pulsates in every word. No myth is filled with such life.”

His name is recognized the world over. Christians claim to follow Him. Muslims honor Him as a prophet. And many Jewish rabbis regard Him as a great teacher. Everyone knows about Jesus, but how many of us fully understand what He was like as a person?

Nowhere was the vitality of Jesus more visible than in His love, a love unlike any the world has ever seen. Compassionate, honest, powerful, humble, and sacrificial—Jesus was love personified, love walking among us. Such an example doesn’t just happen. How did He do it? And how can we learn to love as He did?

In Love Walked Among Us, Paul Miller invites us to get to know Jesus, to observe His life and His love as they unfold in the Gospel narratives. The accounts of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John—combined with Miller’s own life stories—will encourage us to imitate Jesus’ way of loving people. We’ll investigate such questions as:
•How do you love someone when you get no love in return, only withdrawal or ingratitude?
•How do you love without being trapped or used by another person?
•How do you love when you have your own problems? When do you take care of yourself?
•When you are compassionate, people use you; but when you are honest, people get angry. So how do you love with both compassion and honesty?

In every way, Jesus’ life exemplifies the full potential of what we were intended to be. The better we know Him, the more we will be drawn to follow His perfect example.

Learn scriptural principles for praying more effectively

GOD INTENDS FOR EVERY BELIEVER TO HAVE A GREAT PRAYER LIFE
Although we may pray fervently when we face a crisis, many of us find it awkward—even impossible—to have a meaningful prayer life at other times. In an easy-to-understand and encouraging manner, Graf presents the keys to dynamic prayer. He teaches the foundational truths of what prayer is and how essential it is in our relationship with God. He tackles tough questions about different types of prayer and when to use them. And he offers practical tips on how to pray more effectively.Whether you’re a new believer or someone who has struggled with prayer for years, this book will help you grow in your prayer life. Through his knowledge of the Scriptures and his broad experience in the area of prayer, Graf will disciple you in the practice of prayer. He will help you experience more of God through prayer—the believer’s lifeline to God’s heart. Read the first chapter and find out what prayer really is.

A key to growth—professional, spiritual, and personal—is learning how to learn from others.

WE WERE MEANT FOR EACH OTHER
In ourselves, none of us are fully equipped to excel in life. Our weaknesses, blind spots, limited capabilities, and lack of experience all point to one thing—interdependence. Which is why connecting with others plays such an indispensable role in healthy development. Having access to the wisdom, experience, vision, and direction of those who have gone before can put you way ahead of where you’d otherwise be. In addition to enhancing your own potential in all of life’s growth areas (spiritual, emotional, professional, relational, etc.), the things you’ll discover will equip you to help others as well.

So why don’t we place more of a priority on developing these essential empowering relationships? Are we uneasy with the vulnerability, assuming it will be perceived as weakness? Do we hesitate to ask, not wanting to impose on anyone else’s busy schedule? Are we reluctant to provide guidance for others, not wanting to come across as proud or self-important? Each of these factors can play a part, of course. The main reason we miss out, according to this book, is that we simply don’t understand the true nature of mentoring—a problem that is easily overcome.

An exploration and explanation of the essential truths of the faith in laymen’s terms.

HOW CAN YOU LIVE OUT THE FAITH WITHOUT TRULY UNDERSTANDING IT?
The study of Christian doctrine is often considered the domain of professional Christian scholars. After all, what does doctrine have to do with the average layperson? And what does the history of what Christians believe have to do with how we should live today?

John Hannah asserts that an understanding of theology—“the distilled knowledge of God that is the foundation of a walk with God”—is essential for living the Christian life. “No one can walk with a person he or she does not know,” he states. “Neither can we say we walk with God if we do not have an accurate knowledge of Him.”

This book is not a collection of dry and dusty theories, nor a debate about the hair-splitting minutia that so often divide us. Instead, it is an exploration and explanation of the essential truths of the Christian faith—truths that determine how we live our lives every day. It is a call to the church to again have God our number one priority.

A Christianity that is divorced from its theological history is merely morality rather than the vibrant, biblical faith that changes hearts and lives. Theologians regard theology not as an intellectual pursuit, but as “the art of living unto God.” Understanding biblical truth is actually a means to living a godly life. Theology doesn’t just provide us with insights about God; it provides the foundation from which we respond appropriately to God.

Why does theology matter? An accurate comprehension of theology keeps us from confusing popular opinion with truth. It helps us distinguish between what is transient and what is eternal. Understanding theology in its historical context can also keep us from error. It guards us from being deceived by things that have the appearance of wisdom, but are not of God. Knowledge of the history of doctrine reminds us of the ultimate triumph of God and His people—in spite of the protestations of the world around us to the contrary.

What you believe does matter. As you explore the truths in this book, you will discover that theology is not just a collection of information about God—it is a rich legacy. It is your legacy.
