Get the Book and Simplify Your Life
Stage a mutiny against excess! In Jen Hatmaker’s new gift book – 7 Days of Simplicity: A Season of Living Lightly – she explores the spiritual side of a simpler life and the way our choices affect our spirit and our loved ones. Hatmaker shares from her own experiences in living lightly, “finding deep delight in exactly what you have and where you are, never letting anyone shame you out of simplicity or contentment.” A gorgeous gift, the book confronts our desire to compete in the all-consuming consumer-goods game, calling the reader to slow down, catch a breath, and live with intention.

It’s Time for a New Story...the Seventh Story
Presenting two newly beloved books by Brian McLaren & Gareth Higgins: a fable for grown-ups with reflective essays and a beautifully illustrated children’s story. We explore six familiar stories that have repeated through history, teaching us how to dominate, fear, or withdraw from the world and the beautiful people in it. The good news is that there is a better story, and learning it will inspire you to resilience, wonder, and creative action. The story we tell about the world shapes how we live. If we meet fear, aggression, and violence with the Seventh Story, everything can change.
