Today's world is all about Now--a fast-moving, high-speed, on-demand lifestyle. But has this pace changed how we study the Bible?

Our relationship with God is a journey, a walk where we grow closer to Him each day. So it makes sense that reading and understanding Scripture is a continual experience, not just a moment.

This innovative devotional is designed to change how you interact with God's Word. The Message//REMIX: Solo revolves around lectio divina, or "divine reading," an ancient approach to exploring Scripture updated for today's students. Each devotion delivers a unique, contemplative study that will encourage you to:

Read Uncover biblical wisdom and revelations as you learn to read without the typical limitations that often cut Bible reading short.
Think Immerse yourself in the passage as you place yourself in the story or meditate on words and phrases.
Pray Connect with him through listening prayer and praise as you encounter new ways to communicate with God.
Live Rest, reflect, or do as you discover how to take the Word with you throughout the day.

Features include:

An introduction to the lectio divina style of study
A topical index for finding issues that impact your life
Numbered devotions so you can start any day of the year
A time of rest every seventh day

So don't just read the Bible. Get engaged with God's Word and let it revolutionize your life.

Daily Readings from the Popular Devotional

Before God can work through us, He must work in us. That’s why we must keep on growing in our relationship with Him. And there is no better way to nurture that relationship than to spend time daily with Him, reading the Bible, reflecting on what it has to say for our life, and spending time in prayer. Our Daily Bread encourages this daily discipline with short devotional readings for each day of the year. Each devotional is based on a scripture passage and developed around a relevant story or illustration that illuminates the truth of God’s Word.

"Thank goodness you're such a plain child. You'll have to rely on your wits."

So went the words of Grandma Bebe. And for all of my growing-up years, I scoffed at the beauty of my sister and what I saw as her meaningless existence. But my wits hadn't served me well in this instance, for here I was, in jail. And while I could have seen it as carrying on the family tradition (for Grandma Bebe landed in jail for her support of Prohibition), the truth is, my reasons for being here would probably break her heart.

So how did I end up becoming a criminal? I've been pondering that question all night. Perhaps the best way to search for an answer is to start at the very beginning.•

Staff Recommend:
"Karen is a GREAT author but I especially enjoy her stand alone books! They hit me hard each time, each with their own heart wrenching theme. This particular story gets to the core of what is needed....a close and personal relationship with Christ. Entwined with that is all our human emotion and ideas on what should happen. This story hit me on so many levels emotionally, I was a mess (in a good way). Most important there is no sin too big for His grace, nor any forgiveness not worth giving."

Raised in foster care and now the widowed mother of a little girl, Cara Moore struggles against poverty, fear, and a relentless stalker. When a trail of memories leads Cara and Lori out of New York City toward an Amish community, she follows every lead, eager for answers and a fresh start. She discovers that long-held secrets about her family history ripple beneath the surface of Dry Lake, Pennsylvania, and it’s no place for an outsider. But one Amish man, Ephraim Mast, dares to fulfill the command he believes that he received from God–“Be me to her”– despite how it threatens his way of life.

Completely opposite of the hard, untrusting Cara, Ephraim’s sister Deborah also finds her dreams crumbling when the man she has pledged to build a life with begins withdrawing from Deborah and his community, including his mother, Ada Stoltzfus. Can the run-down house that Ada envisions transforming unite them toward a common purpose–or push Mahlon away forever? While Ephraim is trying to do what he believes is right, will he be shunned and lose everything–including the guarded single mother who simply longs for a better life?

An encouraging message for children: When you feel like you’re the smallest of smalls, Jesus’ love can make you feel like the tallest of talls.

A delightful rhyming story about the Too-Smalls who live in the Stiltsville. Every evening a six, the Too-Smalls meet in the square where they hope they’ll be picked to receive stilts to strut about above the stilt-less masses below. They come to see if they matter—if they’re awesome, if they’re pretty, if they’re clever, or funny. Ollie, the smallest of too-smalls, pleas to be picked. He wants to be like the high-ups of Stiltsville who are proud of their stilts, the ultimate status. But once he gets stilts, oh how it hurts when he stumbles and tumbles and loses his stilts.  That is . . .  until he meets Jesus who chose low over high telling him, "Keep your feet on the ground. You matter already.”

Tricia's grief over the loss of her father drowns out any joy she might feel for winning the Triple Crown. Even racing has lost its spark, and she wonders if her gift with horses died with her father. How can she ever recover?

Out of the Mist
After a summer-long losing streak, Tricia is nearly ready to quit racing altogether. She's still overwhelmed by grief, and her father's journal seems to be the only source of comfort. Will she ever find the lasting peace he knew so well?

Second Wind
Happy to be back in Portland, Tricia is ready for a fresh start and a new racing season. But trouble at her home track makes Tricia the target of chilling threats as she campaigns to expose the culprit.

Close Call
Tricia's successful racing career now puts her in the spotlight as a corporate spokesperson--to be featured in a television commercial! Her excitement is dampened, however, by continued threats on her life.

The Winner's Circle
As she battles to recover from a tragic racing accident, Tricia wonders if winning has come at too high a price. But she soon discovers God's perfect plan for her life goes beyond anything she could ever imagine.

What God Sees When God Sees You

Not feeling very beautiful?  Learn what beauty is from God's perspective.

Revolve speaker Jenna Lucado has teamed up with her dad, Max Lucado, to bring girls a fresh perspective on what they need to live a life of peace, joy, and confidence. What does God see when He looks at them? And how does a girl catch that vision?

Jenna reveals life accessories that are essential, and which single accessory is a real must-have to give teens a look they love—a look that says they are comfortable with who they are and secure and confident. What’s the all-important accessory? Love from a father. But what happens when there is no loving father in sight, no daddy to tell them they are beautiful?

Through conversational “girl time” Jenna reveals that when we look to God as our Father, He can change our focus, our look, and our lives. With affirmation from Max, Redefining Beautiful will change the way girls look at God, themselves, and the people around them.

If you don't spend regular time in God's Word and in prayer, your faith can feel like it's fizzling. It's hard to keep up a habit of personal quiet time--it gets boring, your mind wanders, or you feel like you're simply going through the motions.

Ignite Your Faith can help you keep your faith burning with 365 reflections and activities that turn your daily devotions into an adventure. Ignite Your Faith covers topics like

    friendship
    family relationships
    school
    church
    God's will
    and more

Feed the fire of your faith with 365 days of fuel. Your walk with Christ may never be the same.

Fantasy. Mystery. Action. Humor. Parents, teachers, and librarians will no longer have to push kids to read—The Berinfell Prophesies will engage intermediate readers and leave them clamoring for more.

The Seven succeeding Elven Lords of Allyra were dead, lost in the Siege of Berinfell as babes.  At least that’s what everyone thought until tremors from a distant world known as Earth, revealed strange signs that Elven blood lived among its peoples. With a glimmer of hope in their hearts, sentinels are sent to see if the signs are true. But theirs is not a lone errand. The ruling warlord of Allyra, the Spider King, has sent his own scouts to hunt down the Seven and finish the job they failed to complete many ages ago.

Now 13-year-olds on the brink of the Age of Reckoning when their Elven gifts will be manifest, discover the unthinkable truth that their adoptive families are not their only kin. With mysterious Sentinels revealing breathtaking secrets of the past, and dark strangers haunting their every move, will the young Elf Lords find the way back to the home of their birth? Worlds and races collide as the forces of good and evil battle.  Will anyone escape the Curse of the Spider King?

Set Apart combines the action and excitement of a Western with the laughter of a comedy to become a poignant coming-of-age drama.

Four inner-city kids are each at a crossroad in their young lives; their decisions and actions could set them down life’s slippery slope. Fortunately, Pastor John Gunn (John Schneider) and his Power Company Kids’ ministry are watching out for them. Even he knows, however, that the city is the last place these four should be. So he asks his brother and sister-in-law, Randy and Heidi Gunn (playing themselves), to help out by showing these city kids “The Cowboy Way.”

The Gunns and the kids agree to try it out… some more willingly than others! As they hit the road for the wide-open expanses of the mountains, little do these kids realize that a summer of adventure, challenge, training, growth, and big dreams will change their outlook on life. Yet they still can’t leave the city completely behind… especially when gang members track them down to exact revenge.

Rey, Korina, Marcus, and Anthony head West thinking the city is their friend. On the ranch, they discover what true friendship is all about.

While hoping The Love Dare has nothing to do with his parents' newfound faith, Caleb commits to the challenge. But can he attempt to love his wife while avoiding God's love for him? Will he be able to demonstrate love over and over again to a person that's no longer receptive to his love? Or is this just another marriage destined to go up in smoke?

Based on the inspiring story of Angus Buchan, a Zambian farmer of Scottish heritage, who leaves his farm in the midst of political unrest and travels south with his family to start a better life in South Africa. With nothing more than a caravan on a patch of land and help from his Zulu foreman, the Buchan family struggles to settle in a new country.

Faced with ever-mounting challenges, hardships and personal turmoil within the South African countryside, Angus quickly spirals down into a life consumed by anger, fear and destruction. Adapted from the best-selling autobiography Faith Like Potatoes, this inspirational film weaves together the moving journey of a man who, like his potatoes, grows his faith – unseen until the harvest.

Beauty Will Rise is a collection of 12 new and profound songs from Steven Curtis Chapman. Created in the past 18 months in the walk through the darkness of the loss of his daughter Maria, and while God continues to meet him there on the journey.

Part lament, part praise, part grief, part hope, part wrestling, part pondering; these tracks resonate as Steven’s personal Psalms.

It is a desperately hopeful, raw, personal, and honest recording that is likely the most important of his already incredible 20 plus year ministry.

Steve Bell & the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra

"On November 17, 2006, at the invitation of the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra, Steve performed a concert of his music with the WSO at Winnipeg's Centennial Concert Hall. The combination of Steve's lyrical style, a world-class orchestra, Mike Janzen's imaginative, textural orchestral scores, and a sold-out, enraptured house made for an evening none of us in attendance will soon forget.  And so in the spring of 2007, Steve and producer Dave Zeglinski went into the studio with the WSO to produce a recording of the music performed that night.  This outstanding CD is the result of that labour.  We are very proud to present Steve Bell / Symphony Sessions."
