EVEN IF Trusting God Through the Fire
BART MILLARD, SHANNON MILLARD, AND ROBERT NOLAND
The inspiration behind the major motion picture I Can Only Imagine 2, this true story of heartache and hope from MercyMe’s lead singer, Bart Millard, and his wife, Shannon, shows us how even our deepest wounds can become doorways to God’s grace. MercyMe was just a small worship band from Texas until January 2002, when Bart Millard’s song “I Can Only Imagine” swept the airwaves. Suddenly, Bart, his bandmates, and their families were riding a wave of success beyond their wildest dreams. Then everything changed again. Bart and Shannon lost Shannon’s brother to a tragic accident. Their second child was born prematurely. Their oldest child was diagnosed with diabetes. Their marriage struggled as Bart spent more and more time on the road, feeling the weight of the band’s success on his shoulders. They wrestled with their faith. Is God still good, they wondered, even when our world is falling apart?
SPECS
Drawing on Bart’s powerful song of the same name, Even If is a beautifully raw exploration of what it means to follow Jesus when life doesn’t turn out the way we expected. With hard-won hope, Bart and Shannon invite us into their story—a story not of perfect outcomes because of what we do, but a story of redemption because of who God is.

THE VIEW IS WORTH IT Unlocking the Beauty in Life’s Peaks and Valleys
VICTORIA ARLEN
Imagine appearing to have it all—a miraculous story of survival, a rewarding career as a TV host/reporter, multiple medal wins in swimming, and the opportunity to travel the world speaking—but silently wanting to end it all … and nearly succeeding. At the height of her success, Victoria Arlen found herself in a hopeless place she calls Rock-Bottomville. Behind the smile was a struggle few could see. Victoria could no longer outrun the anxiety, depression, PTSD, panic attacks, and suicidal thoughts pulling her down. She was known as the woman who—despite being written off as a lost cause—had emerged from a four-year unresponsive state and survived. Then very quickly thrived. But the weight of being “the successful survivor” became too much. She spent a decade encouraging others not to give up, but she was slowly giving up on herself. In this powerful book, Victoria speaks directly to the rising mental health crisis among younger adults, sharing helpful tools and powerful truths to remind readers: Your story does not end in defeat. You can find a purpose for the pain. There are blessings in the breakdowns. It’s okay to not be okay.

FORMADOS PARA PERMANECER Perseverando en el ministerio cando sobran las razones para renunciar
NATALIE RUNION
Healing for your wounds. Hope for your faith. An honest exploration of disappointment with the Church, Raised to Stay is for anyone weary of God’s people but longing to keep their faith in God. As Natalie Runion reminds us, when we say yes to God, we don’t say yes to church politics or burnout. We say yes to Jesus. We say yes to hope. We say yes to much that we can still embrace. Through her own deeply personal story, Natalie Runion, a daughter of a pastor and ministry leader, brings this unspoken issue to the forefront. She shares how dependence on God, and not people from church, will help provide the healing and direction you need. Reliance on God will free you from the past and allow you to join others like you who passionately love and pursue Jesus. Raised to Stay is for wandering church leaders, churchgoers, and church wounded. Because in a world of faulty promises, in communities that let us down, God can craft the pieces of our faith into something beautiful. ALSO AVAILABLE IN ENGLISH

LA BONDAD DE DIOS PARA LOS ELEGIDOS Temporada 4
AMANDA JENKINS, DALLAS JENKINS, AND DOUGLAS S. HUFFMAN A Bible study for people who long to find purpose in their suffering, God’s Goodness for the Chosen helps readers to see God at work—even when life is hard. We see it—if we’re looking: the Bible promises that God brings good things out of bad things for the sake of His people and for His glory. But truth be told, when we personally experience suffering, we have a difficult time believing it. In this official companion study to season 4 of The Chosen, the groundbreaking television series about the life of Jesus, God’s Goodness for the Chosen parallels each episode, revealing how God uses suffering to bring about good in the lives of those He loves. You’ll see: Death is eclipsed by life Grief is eclipsed by praise Confusion is eclipsed by grace Temporary things are eclipsed by eternal things Pain is eclipsed by the fullness of God’s plan

LA FORTALEZA DE LOS ELEGIDOS Temporada 5
AMANDA JENKINS, DALLAS JENKINS, AND DOUGLAS S. HUFFMAN A Bible study for people who need a safe place in Jesus, The Stronghold of the Chosen helps readers see Him as the refuge we desperately need. What is a stronghold? Well, a stronghold is a place of safety, fortified to protect inhabitants against attack. It’s a place where people can feel secure, surrounded by high, sturdy walls. It’s a place to rest and be restored. It’s a place to plan the way forward. It’s a place. Throughout the Bible, we’re told that God is the Stronghold for those who follow Jesus, that He’s our refuge in hard times and that in His presence our resources can be renewed. But sometimes we resist running to Jesus. Like the crowds on that first Palm Sunday, we vacillate between declaring Him Hosanna (“the One who saves”) and forfeiting the very safety and security He graciously provides.

SANANDO EN EL DESIERTO Encontrando tu voz en el camino del quebranto a la libertad
CHRISTINE D'CLARIO
One of the most influential international worship leaders draws on her own story of brokenness and healing to extend a tender call to care for every part of who we are—soul, body, and mind— without guilt or fear. Worship artist Christine D’Clario knows firsthand what it means to break down—and how God puts us back together. She knows that many of us in faith communities struggle silently with anxiety, depression, and burnout, but are hesitant to show any sign of weakness. She knows that well-meaning churches and friends often emphasize spiritual answers while leaving emotional and mentalhealth concerns underdeveloped or stigmatized. In this beautifully vulnerable, ultimately hope-filled book, Christine shares her story of ongoing healing along with insightful research and biblical wisdom. Healing in the Desert frees us to: Embrace the difficult seasons in our journey and learn the basis of holistic self-care rooted in faith and Scripture Find companionship and understanding through another Christian’s struggle with suicide, trauma, and depression Pursue God with our whole heart, with an expectation to experience God’s presence, not our perfection
