The Quest for the Best: A Story about the Things We Search for vs. the Satisfaction God Offers by Jimmy Needham | Current: $16.33 at WTS | $18.98 at Amazon
Love this follow-up book to Real Bad Guys from my buddy. “Middle-grade readers will join Millie and her unruly entourage of REAL BAD GUYS on a search for the most superb, soul-satisfying thing of all—the Savior, Jesus Christ! The presents? Majorly ‘meh.’ The decorations? A downer. And the balloons? Like Millie's mood, deflated. Millie's birthday is turning out to be a cursed day. Millie's motley crew of cartoonish villains, the REAL BAD GUYS, try to cheer up their friend by offering her food, fun, and fame, but every time, the outcome is the same. There's still a donut-sized hole in Millie's heart--until she realizes that the only thing that can truly fill her up is the love of Jesus. With witty words from popular podcaster and recording artist Jimmy Needham and awesome illustrations from award-winning artist Sebastian Martin, The Quest for the Best reminds kids that nothing in or out of this world will satisfy them like Christ can.”

The Man You're Meant to Be: A Call of Self-Examination for Every Believer, Hypocrite, and Outsider by John Simons
“Every man is being shaped by some kind of wisdom. The key question is–what type of wisdom is guiding us? Scripture doesn't suggest every form of wisdom produces a better, more flourishing life. In fact, it warns us of the opposite condition–we ought to be mightily aware of the possibility that we may be digesting and guided by worldly wisdom, which eventually leads to our own downfall, devastation, and death–yet it will feel so satisfying going down. The Man You're Meant to Be acknowledges the cultural landscape men are facing, outside and within the walls of the Western church, and challenges them to pursue wisdom from above–rejecting the call of this wayward world to walk on the narrow road of discipleship. This is the path of true wisdom and the calling to Christ, himself, as we learn his ways and to surrender every aspect of our lives to God.”
There Shone a Holy Light: Beholding Christ and Christmas in the Old Testament: Twenty-Five Readings for Advent by Mitchell Chase | Current: $11.60 at WTS (sold out) | $9.99 at Amazon
“Discover the rich tapestry of Christ's coming woven throughout the entire Old Testament in There Shone a Holy Light, a compelling Advent devotional by Mitchell L. Chase. This unique exploration takes readers on a 25-day journey through the ancient stories, prophecies, and patterns that pointed to the birth of Jesus centuries before that holy night in Bethlehem. From Adam to Solomon, each daily reading illuminates how God carefully crafted His redemptive plan through unexpected characters and seemingly ordinary events. Chase masterfully reveals how figures like Noah, Joseph, Moses, and David weren't just historical characters--they were living prophecies of the Messiah to come. Through careful biblical analysis and engaging storytelling, readers will discover fresh insights about how Jesus fulfilled and exceeded every Old Testament foreshadowing.”
