Try Softer
Aundi Kolber In a world that preaches a “try harder” gospel―just keep going, keep hustling, keep pretending we’re all fine―we’re left exhausted, overwhelmed, and so numb to our lives. If we’re honest, we’ve been overfunctioning for so long, we can’t even imagine another way. How else will things get done? How else will we survive? It doesn’t have to be this way. Aundi Kolber believes that we don’t have to white-knuckle our way through life. In her debut book, Try Softer, she’ll show us how God specifically designed our bodies and minds to work together to process our stories and work through obstacles. Through the latest psychology, practical clinical exercises, and her own personal story, Aundi equips and empowers us to connect us to our truest self and truly live. This is the “try softer” life.

A Small Book For The Anxious Heart
Ed Welch (CCEF) Fear and anxiety are chronic struggles for many people that are only intensifying and increasing. Best-selling author Edward T. Welch shares the comfort and peace of Jesus in fifty brief readings for those who wrestle with fear. A Small Book for the Anxious Heart is a small but powerful devotional to remind men and women of the encouraging, beautiful words in Scripture to anxious people. While many books on fear and anxiety exist—promising to help men and women manage their struggles with methods and formulas—this devotional reaches deeper into Scripture, making the Word of God more accessible. Don’t put a Band-Aid on your fear and anxiety; rather, learn to bring your fear to Jesus, relying on his Word. Welch has been counseling for over thirty-eight years and is the author of more than a dozen books, including A Small Book about a Big Problem, Running Scared: Fear, Worry and the God of Rest, Shame Interrupted, When People Are Big and God Is Small, and many others. Jesus cares for us, and in these readings, Welch invites readers to trust him for today, knowing he goes before us always. |

Helping Your Anxious Child
Julie Lowe (CCEF) Anxiety relief for kids is a "hot" topic for all parents in a world that often seems big and scary. Parenting your anxious child can often lead to anxious parents. Whether its freeing your child from negative thoughts and fears, or helping your child overcome separation anxiety, sometimes the quest for answers can unintentionally make things worse. You want to free your child from anxiety, and negative thoughts and help them to regain a sense of peace and safety, but sometimes our own worries get in the way of a constructive parent child solution. Julie Lowe, a skilled family counselor with the Christian Counseling & Educational Foundation (CCEF) has more than twenty years of experience, guiding parents in assessing their child's anxiety and gives practical ways to encourage and help worried children. In this CCEF Booklet, she leads parents away from quick fixes that contribute to dependencies and points them to Christ, the One who is always available, loving, and powerful. |

Abba's Child
by Brennan Manning Are you struggling to accept God’s love? We’ve bought into the lie that we are worthy of God’s love only when our lives are going well. But when life begins to fall through the cracks and things become less-than-perfect, we scramble to present a good front to the world―and to God. God longs for us to deeply believe and know that He loves us and accepts us as we are. He calls for us to remove our mask and establish an honest and deep relationship with Him. When we are our true selves, we can finally claim our identity as His own―Abba’s child. Let go of the pressure of an impostor lifestyle and lean into the life-changing wonder of a truly loving relationship with God. Abba’s Child will light the way to freely accepting your belovedness and being renewed by the reassurance of our Father’s deep care for you―regardless of how perfect your life isn’t. |
