Insanity Of God
$14.99
The Insanity of God is the personal and lifelong journey of an ordinary couple from rural Kentucky who thought they were going on just your ordinary missionary pilgrimage, but discovered it would be anything but. After experiencing life in places where it looked like God had turned away completely and was clueless about the tragedies of life, and after losing their teenage son in the mission field, the couple knew that their faith would never be the same.Nik recalls that, “God had always been so real to me, to Ruth, and to our boys. But was He enough, for the utter weariness of soul I experienced at that time, in that place, under those circumstances?
” It is a question that many have asked and one that, if answered, can lead us to a whole new world of faith.
How does faith survive, let alone flourish in a place like the Middle East? How can Good truly overcome such evil? How do you maintain hope when all is darkness around you? How can we say “greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world” when it may not be visibly true in that place at that time? How does anyone live an abundant, victorious Christian life in our world’s toughest places? Can Christianity even work outside of Western, dressed-up, ordered nations? If so, how?
The Insanity of God tells a story-a remarkable and unique story to be sure, yet at heart a very human story-of the Ripkens’ own spiritual and emotional odyssey. The gripping, narrative account of a personal pilgrimage into some of the toughest places on earth, combined with sobering and insightful stories of the remarkable people of faith Nik and Ruth encountered on their journeys, will serve as a powerful course of revelation, growth, and challenge for anyone who wants to know whether God truly is enough.

America A Redemption Story
$28.99Add to cartAmerica is at a crossroads, reckoning with contested narratives about its history and identity, and facing unprecedented division. Bestselling author Senator Tim Scott shares a renewed vision for the United States–and invites all Americans to find themselves within this nation’s redemptive story of opportunity, unity, and hope.
Senator Scott knows what it’s like to live at the intersection of hardship and opportunity. From his roots in South Carolina, growing up in a poor, single-parent household to starting a successful small business to his rising political career in the Senate, Scott’s message of hope for America grows from his own life–the challenges, the achievements, and the work he’s currently doing to bring positive change to the people of the United States.
In America, a Redemption Story, Scott invites readers on a compelling journey to reclaim the American dream today. Weaving together deeply personal memoirs, stories of his family’s struggle with poverty and injustice, and stirring accounts of fellow Americans past and present, Scott says we can see the truth of America’s identity in the stories of individuals–people whose lives embody the hope and resilience that have carried the nation through its greatest failures and challenges. Readers will
*be inspired by the stories of personal grit and everyday heroism that reveal the power of a single individual to create positive change–for themselves, their communities, and their nation;
*gain an insider’s view through Senator Scott’s stories from his political career, including his relationship with President Donald Trump and the breaching of the Capitol on January 6, 2021;
*and learn why principles of personal responsibility, opportunity for all, and unity based on empathy provide the greatest hope for our nation’s future.
At once a clear-eyed reckoning with America’s past and present failures, an ode to its exceptional accomplishments, and a vision of the greatness it can still achieve, this book is Scott’s call to all Americans to see themselves as inheritors–and fellow authors–of a story still being written.

Uncommon : Finding Your Path To Significance
$15.99Add to cartSuper Bowl-winning coach and #1 New York Times best selling author Tony Dungy has had an unusual opportunity to reflect on what it takes to achieve significance. He is looked to by many as the epitome of the success and significance that is highly valued in our culture. He also works every day with young men who are trying to achieve significance through football and all that goes with a professional athletic career-such as money, power, and celebrity. Coach Dungy has had all that, but he passionately believes that there is a different path to significance, a path characterized by attitudes, ambitions, and allegiances that are all too rare but uncommonly rewarding. Uncommon reveals lessons on achieving significance that the coach has learned from his remarkable parents, his athletic and coaching career, his mentors, and his journey with God. A particular focus of the book: what it means to be a man of significance in a culture that is offering young men few positive role models.
