Powerful Self-Talk from the Psalms

Powerful Self-Talk from the Psalms

We talk to ourselves all day every day. But that talk is not always kind or even true. This battle is in your mind—and it’s time to reclaim it!


Powerful Self-Talk from the Psalms offers uplifting ways to speak biblical truth into your everyday battles. In this 40-day devotional, you will discover how David’s example of God-honoring self-talk can lead you to:

  • Calm when you aren’t at peace
  • Hope when you feel hopeless
  • Courage when you fear God has forgotten you
  • Forgiveness when you’re burdened by guilt

This isn’t just about reading Scripture—it’s an invitation to pray it, quote it, and live it as the answer to self-detrimental thoughts. Discover the difference biblical self-talk can make in your life today.

Kids Say the Wisest Things

26 Lessons You Didn’t Know Your Children Could Teach You.


Have you ever noticed how young children sometimes say things that are absolutely profound? What do they see that we miss? Kids Say the Wisest Things is a collection of real comments from real kids.  Focus on the Family president Jim Daly says, “Jon Gauger demonstrates that our kids sometimes exhibit wisdom and insight far beyond their years.” Radio personality Dave Ramsey says this book will “encourage you to listen for God’s voice in the voices of your kids.” And Dr. Kevin Lehman—the guy who brought us the Birth Order Book—says this is a collection of “small tots with big thoughts. Start reading—class is in session!” These stories yank open windows into profound biblical truth. And all of them show us something about ourselves and our Savior we can never forget.

If I Could Do It All Over Again

We’ve all thought about it at some point: What if we could go back in time and change the things we now regret?


If I Could Do It All Over Again explores the concept of a “do-over” through insightful interviews with more than two dozen respected Christian leaders like Joni Eareckson Tada, Anne Graham Lotz, Josh McDowell, Michael W. Smith, and the late Tim Keller.

Like an intimate conversation over a cup of coffee, these leaders transparently share stories of their struggles, triumphs, and failures through the lenses of God’s grace and redemption. Let the wisdom of others illuminate your path. You’ll come away filled with hope, courage, and freedom!
