January 7 - This Light of Mine
By Joseph M. Stowell
Publisher: Moody Publishers
If the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do? Psalm 11:3
Followers of Christ have every right to be concerned about the troubling shifts in our culture. On nearly every front things are different. Much of what we see is a direct contradiction to divinely revealed truth and the convictions we hold dear. At times, we feel like we’ve lost the battle for what’s good and right.
The challenge for us now? To respond in ways that communicate the gospel without alienating people who need to hear about the good news of Christ's redemptive work. Unfortunately, many of us have responded with a sense of hopelessness and despair. Others have entwined evangelicalism with political alignments. Both strategies have made our message less than attractive and have betrayed the hope we have to offer a world gone wrong.
This Light of Mine is a call to evangelicals to pivot from being consumed in a battle for our earthly kingdom and to embrace the privilege of advancing the kingdom of Christ. Drawing from the Scriptures and the life of Jesus, Joe Stowell provides a hope-filled, courageous response that empowers us to light up the darkness by living like Jesus in a non-Jesus world.
January 7 - Building Spiritual Habits in the Home
By Chris Pappalardo & Clayton Greene
Publisher: Moody Publishers
From good intentions to actual practice—simple spiritual habits for your home.
We want our homes to be blessings, refuges, places of vibrant faith. And we want our love for Jesus to be discovered and developed in our children. But many of us feel like we're just not cutting it. Maybe you've read books, listened to podcasts, or tried different life hacks, only to feel defeated. Your attempts have fallen flat or fizzled out.
In Building Spiritual Habits in the Home, entrepreneurs and dads, Chris Pappalardo and Clayton Greene, show how that can change. Chris and Clayton share the six key shifts that translate good intentions into actual practice. They reveal how their homes changed—and how yours can too. Looking to the wisdom of Scripture, these dads teach you how to apply lasting faith practices to your family, your home, your life.
Are you ready? With just six simple shifts to your spiritual habits, you can develop a spiritual life that will last—helping you (and your children, and your neighbors, and your co-workers)—engage with God and each other.

Dash Keane is about to become the biggest star in history.
As a poor teenager living in the Dregs, Dash Keane can only escape his dismal reality by competing in illegal rooftop races and staying up late to watch the timenet with his younger brother.
When there is an opportunity to participate in a competition set thousands of years in the past, he uses his rooftop racer skills to catch the eye of Mr. Myrtrym, head of entertainment for the massive Dominus Corporation.
It is the chance of a lifetime when Dominus Corp. hires Dash to be a timestar—the focus of his own series in which he must survive some of the most dangerous periods in history, including the Cretaceous period, feudal Japan, the Wild West, and the Golden Age of Piracy.
But when empathy for the people of the past conflicts with the desires of his new employer, he must decide whether the price of fame is worth it, a decision that may cost him everything.
