In this candid book based on his own struggle with doubt, John Ortberg traces the line between belief and unbelief and finds that it's less a dividing line between hostile camps than a razor's edge that runs through every soul. His findings point toward the relief of being totally honest. Doubt … Questions … Honest faith … Outrageous hope … It's a chain reaction that can actually strengthen our relationship with God, and that, says Ortberg, is cause for celebration.

Tina Konkin was devastated when she learned her husband was having an affair with her best friend. How could this happen to a couple who were Christian marriage counselors? But the surprises didn't stop there, because God immediately asked Tina this question: "What role did you play in this, Tina?" That question and Tina's willingness to answer it led to a restored, renewed marriage that was better than ever before, as well as a marriage counseling program that has an 80% success rate.

While American church culture (and American culture at large) seems largely designed for the extroverted, it's estimated that half of the American population is introverted, and they're often left wondering how, even if, they fit in the kingdom of God. As one of them, popular radio host Brant Hansen brings news. It's wonderful, refreshing, and never-been-said-this-way-before good news.

"Perhaps God isn't giving me the plan because He wants to be the plan." This was the aha moment for Mike Donehey after years of wrestling with his obsession to know God's specific plans for his life. He came to the realization that waiting for absolute certainty from God before making decisions may seem uberspiritual, but it can lead to a life of intense stress, paralyzing fear, and crushing regret - just the opposite of the freedom granted to those living a Christ-filled life.

Who does Jesus love? The stranger who looks strange. The driver who cuts us off in traffic. The person online who thinks differently than we do. Loving people is hard. Especially when it involves the difficult people in our lives and those different from us. We say we love others, but really we don’t. Instead of loving, we hurt, belittle, and overlook people. Which is precisely why we need to learn how to love — from Jesus and from one another.

Publisher's Summary
"This is my story. You see, I was once a shooter."
Twice pardoned - first by God and later by the state - TJ Stevens now walks in freedom and grace. Reluctant at first to tell his story but compelled now to share what God has done, he gives a firsthand account, four decades later, of what it was like to be a high school shooter.
Why is his story different from all the others that have commanded headlines over the last 20-odd years? How did he not only make it out alive but go on to have a successful life, when so many other high school shooters are now behind bars or in the grave?
What happened during that day-long hostage standoff - and in the years that followed - took TJ out of suffocating darkness and into the light.
In Once a Shooter: Redemption of a High School Gunman you will see that:
- There is freedom in forgiveness
- Redemption is available for everyone
- God will never stop pursuing you
- Faith can overcome fear
- Prayer makes a difference
