If not you, who? If not now, when? This was the challenge answered by Stephen Foreman and his wife, Emily, when they traded in their American white picket fence for a giant, dusty sandbox as missionaries in the deserts of North Africa. Stephen had given Emily a well-read copy of Foxe's Book of Martyrs on their first date, a telling foreshadowing of the ultimate cost he would pay when, at 39, he was shot and killed by al-Qaeda operatives. His life...

Christianity is a surprising religion. It has changed the world in remarkable ways throughout history simply through Christians living out their faith. More recently, we've become afraid of a habituated Christianity, thinking that routines will rob our faith of its vitality. The net effect is that we've replaced the habits that surprise the world with habits that mimic the world-and both we and the world suffer for it. Integrating the five habits...

We love God. We love our country. What does it look like to love each properly and well?

Moms are invited to see the physical seasons and tasks of motherhood as inherently spiritual-not busywork that keeps them from a spiritual life. If God used birth, life, and death to redeem his Creation, who has a front-row seat to his work if not mothers? For moms of young children, it's hard to find time to shower, much less sharpen spiritual practices. Surrounded by crackers, laundry, and crayon-smeared bills, it's been months since moms have sat...

Practice the three simple phrases that heal relationships, strengthen connection, and change the world.
We all believe that saying, "Thank you," "I'm sorry," and "Tell me more" will help us become better people, friends, partners, employees, neighbors, and global citizens.

A Walmart greeter, a nurse, and an astronaut walk into a church. . . . They each bring with them their own exhaustions and exasperations, their own uncertainty about whether and how their work matters to God. Good news: All work matters to God, because all work reflects some aspect of the character of God. God created the world so that it runs best when it mirrors Him, and we ourselves find the most fulfillment when we recognize God behind our labor....

Life's painful trials can bring shame about our inadequate and broken faith. There is relief in hearing the expressions of desperation in the psalmist's voice.

To walk through darkened days is part of the human experience. To walk through them with faith, comfort, strength, joy, and hope is part of the divine...

Look around, and you'll notice: The world is covered with jagged edges. People and places are broken all around us.

This book is a quest to recover that image in ourselves and our neighbors, to help us all become human and humane again. For Christians who lament the brokenness in themselves, their...
