Ruth For You by Tony Merida Trailer
The book of Ruth is a love story. Like all love stories it has twists and turns, tension and resolution, and a happy ending.
But it's far more than that because it reveals to us a God who is deeply committed to caring for his people. In Boaz, God provides Ruth with a loving husband to free and provide for her, pointing us to the Bible's grand story of redemption and David’s greatest son, Jesus.

If Only by Jennie Pollock: Trailer
Life doesn’t always go the way we hope it will. Whether it’s singleness, childlessness or some other big disappointment, it’s hard to be content when life lets us down.
In If Only, author Jennie Pollock writes candidly about her struggle for contentment. She walks readers through the process of taking our eyes off the things we wish we had and instead enjoying the character of the God we do have—a God who is good, who meets all our needs, and whose promises are worth the wait.

Hoping for Happiness by Barnabas Piper
Everyone wants to be happy, and we all pursue happiness in different ways.
But how are we to experience happiness in this life? How do we avoid expecting too much of earthly things and being disappointed, or expecting too little and becoming cynics?
In this book, recovering cynic Barnabas Piper helps us to throw off both the unrealistic expectations that end in disappointment and the guilty sense that Christians are not meant to have fun. He shows how having a clear view of the reality of the fall and the promise of redemption frees us to live a life that's grounded, hopeful, and genuinely happy.
Release Day for Hoping for Happiness!
We're excited to share this new book by Barnabas Piper- Hoping for Happiness. Here's why he wrote the book, and what you can expect when you read it.
