Becoming Baba
by Aymann Ismail

This deeply personal memoir from an Egyptian American journalist explores identity and faith, the impact of 9/11, his parents' sacrifices, and his evolving understanding of masculinity, tradition, and the future he hopes to shape for his children in an increasingly divided world. In lucid, confident prose, Aymann Ismail questions the sturdy frameworks of religion and family, the legacies of his childhood, and what will become his children's ethical and intellectual inheritance. To reckon unflinchingly with these questions, Ismail offers a road map for his young Muslim children on how to navigate the singular journey into adulthood.
God Was Right
by Mark Gerson

In God Was Right, Mark Gerson examines the Torah on the basis of what it declares itself to be, a guidebook, which identifies, asks, and answers the practical, relevant, and important questions that enable believers to live their best lives. Gerson shows in detail that the Torah's questions and claims are exactly those asked and investigated by modern social scientists. Their work has enabled perhaps the biggest discovery of all: The Torah is true. This book is an extensive, revelatory, and fascinating exploration into the truth of the Torah.
I Am a Part of Infinity
by Kieran Fox

Nearly everyone is familiar with Einstein's scientific accomplishments, but few know the truth of how spiritual philosophies shaped his life and work. Scientists and biographers have treated Einstein's views on the eternal as vague and metaphorical. For Einstein, however, spirituality and science were a vital pairing. In I Am a Part of Infinity, Kieran Fox examines for the first time the strength and the subtlety of Einstein's spirituality. Revealing the Greek philosophies and East Asian religious teachings that Einstein revered, Fox shows how he melded those ideas with his science to create one all-encompassing philosophy.
The Japandi Home
by Cate St. Hill

Cate St. Hill believes homes have the power to become inner sanctuaries, soothing souls and nurturing wellbeing. She takes inspiration from the concept and traditions of Japandi, a hundred-year-old set of lifestyle principles that draw from Scandinavian and Japanese design ethoses. In this book, Cate takes readers far beyond the design trend, introducing them to the connection between aesthetics and well-being that is at the heart of this style. Japandi Home is packed with gorgeous imagery, insightful features, and design inspiration.
The Nature of Rest
by Eryn Lynum

In today's fast-paced society, rest is often viewed as a weakness or hindrance to progress. Yet, God designed rest as a gift that enables all to flourish and live abundantly. In the beginning, God spoke into place the skies and seas, birds and trees, fish and insects. In the garden of Eden, rest was an integral part of God's plan. Throughout nature, you can observe rhythms of circadian (daily) and circannual (seasonal or yearly) rest that invite you into regular intervals of stopping and delighting in all God is doing. In six weeks, readers will redeem misconceptions around rest to view it as the incredible gift and benefit God created it as.
Now You Can Stop Running
by Terry Crist

Because of spiritual brokenness, humans run. They seek to escape fear, disappointment, unresolved trauma, and unhealed wounds of the past, but no matter how hard they try, they cannot seem to run far enough or fast enough to finally be free...yet, they keep running anyway. But God wants so much more for them, says Crist. In Now You Can Stop Running, pastor, speaker, and author, Terry Crist, offers personal stories and timeless truths from Scripture to help readers trade the fear, disappointment, and wounds of their past for the deep peace they long for in their lives today. 
When We Talk to God
by Sharifa Stevens

A beautiful interweaving of artwork, prayers, and poems, this unique book encourages readers to lift up their whole heart and loudest voice to God, and to tell God about everything without limitation. These are prayers for moments of gratitude and celebration, for seasons of loss and waiting, and for days when prayers come, not in words but in groans. When We Talk to God, from poet-theologian Sharifa Stevens, captures the arc and the ache of human lives with beautiful imagery and prose.
