Looking For The One
$24.99
Witness the simple power of the gospel in your everyday life.
The word “Evangelism” makes many Christians uncomfortable. Perhaps it is because evangelism “formulas” often feel manufactured, non-relational, and forced. But Jesus modeled a paradigm that was precisely the opposite. He shared the gospel in simple and personal ways by seeking out “the one” — the one who needed to meet Him most.
God led David McIver to follow this example, looking for one specific person each day with whom to share the love of Jesus. Amazing Kingdom results followed his simple act of obedience.
In Looking for the One, David McIver–veteran minister, executive director for PraiseLive radio, and former Chapel leader serving the Minnesota Twins–liberates readers from “evangelism” formulas, equipping them instead to walk in the same surrendered attentiveness that Jesus modeled, seeing lives transformed by the true power of the gospel.
Looking For the One is short stories about people experiencing Jesus in grocery stores, hospitals, and dugouts. Each story models what happens when you invite Jesus to look for the one through you. It’s replacing a formula or system with organic and supernatural encounters.
Each short story includes resources and discussion questions, equipping you to carry the gospel in ways that are…
*Genuine
*Respectful
*Organic
*Loving
*Relational
*Transformative
As you witness the gospel’s simple power in your everyday life, you discover that the first life to be changed is yours. Because as you look for the one, you become like the One. You become more like Jesus.
“Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them–what do you do? You leave the other ninety-nine sheep in the pasture and go looking for the one that got lost until you find it.” (Luke 15:4 NIV)

Walking In Truth In A World Of Lies
$15.99Add to cartYou and I are being lied to on a regular basis. In fact, our entire culture is riddled with duplicity.
Scripture warns repeatedly of deception on a massive scale in the Last Days, so why are Christians seemingly so unconcerned? Has their access to theological information and their acceptance of orthodox doctrine caused them to believe they are impervious to being deceived?
There is only one way to stay safe from the deceiver’s powerful lies: We must allow the “love of the truth” to hold sway in our innermost being. Only then will we be capable of Walking in Truth in a World of Lies.

All Things New Study Guide (Student/Study Guide)
$10.99Add to cartAll Things New is a revolutionary four-session video Bible study built on a simple idea: heaven is not the eternal church service in the sky. It is, in fact, not religious at all. Jesus referred to the next chapter of our story as “the renewal of all things” (Matthew 19:28). This means, literally, the renewal of the earth we love in all its beauty, the renewal of our own being, and the renewal of all those things that make for a rich life-music, art, food, laughter. All that we hold dear shall be renewed.
Most Christians (and most people, for that matter) do not really look forward to their future because their views of heaven are vague, religious, and appallingly boring. Our hope begins to surge when we understand that for the believer nothing is lost. Heaven is not a life in the clouds; it is not unending worship services with singing. Rather, the life we long for-the paradise Adam and Eve knew-is precisely the life that is coming to us. And coming soon.
This study begins with a reframing of what “heaven” actually looks like. God does not say, “I am making all new things,” He says, “Behold-I am making all things new!” (Revelation 21:5). Familiar religious conceptions of heaven are gently dismantled, and the participant is invited into a new way of conceiving of their after-life. Imagery from fairy tales, books, and famous movies such as The Lord of the Rings is used to illustrate what “happily ever after” means in tangible, accessible, and-most important-desirable terms.As C.S. Lewis said, “We can only hope for what we desire.” The life we have been longing for is actually the very life that is about to be ours. The imminence of the coming kingdom of God is also clarified; living with an eager expectation of Christ’s return is the practical power of the Christian life.
