Imagine the Impact when Church and Family Collide

New Think Orange Products!

Thinking Orange is about combining the impact of the church and the home to make a greater impact on the faith of the next generation. Reggie Joiner and his organization, reThink, believe that the church and home are both struggling to be effective,and we must consider making radical changes if we hope to gain influence in our communities and our culture.

In addition to the Think Orange book that just released we have two additional products that are releasing this fall—a Playbook and a DVD. The Playbook gives more step-by-step plans and ideas on how to cast vision and share the Orange strategy with leaders and key volunteers within the church.

And there is more! A 198 minute training DVD giving examples of what thinking Orange can look like in a church and help for applying these principles in a ministry environment.

David C. Cook is the exclusive publisher for Think Orange products. The author, Reggie Joiner, is the founder of the reThink Group, an organization providing resources and training for churches. Reggie is also the founder of the Orange Conference and one of the founders of North Point Community Church.

Fearless: New Book by Max Lucado

Fearless
by Max Lucado


Imagine your life, wholly untouched by angst. What if faith, not fear, was your default reaction to threats? If you could hover a fear magnet over your heart and extract every last shaving of dread, insecurity, and doubt, what would remain? Envision a day, just one day, when you could trust more and fear less.

Can you imagine your life without fear?


Product Description:

Each sunrise seems to bring fresh reasons for fear.

They're talking layoffs at work, slowdowns in the economy, flare-ups in the Middle East, turnovers at headquarters, downturns in the housing market, upswings in global warming. The plague of our day, terrorism, begins with the word terror. Fear, it seems, has taken up a hundred-year lease on the building next door and set up shop. Oversized and rude, fear herds us into a prison and slams the doors. Wouldn't it be great to walk out?

  • This timely book offers hope and calm in a time of unprecedented fear in our community and the world as we face downturns in the housing market, slowdowns in the economy, and job losses everywhere.
  • Max delves deeply into our most unnerving threats—from running out of money to the terror of death—and shows us how to face them with faith, not fear.
  • Focusing on Jesus’ encounters with people in frightening situations, Max draws from those stories evidence that we can trust God through these scary times.
  • Readers will learn that they can fear less tomorrow than they do today.

New Kids Book by Max Lucado

The Tallest of Smalls
by Max Lucado

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."

This book for kids coordinates with Max's trade book, Fearless, releasing in September 2009.

Great Series for Summer Reading

The Dopple Ganger Chronicles
by G. P. Taylor


From best-selling author G.P. Taylor comes the highly anticipated second installment of The Dopple Ganger Chronicles, a series that combines art and traditional text to help “reluctant readers” discover the wonder of books.

Erik Morissey Ganger, famed explorer and detective (well, in his dreams), and his mischief-making sidekicks, twins Sadie and Saskia Dopple, didn’t go looking for a secret tunnel beneath the school. They never intended to make the acquaintance of a shifty private eye with a nose for trouble. It wasn’t part of the plan to come face to face with an old enemy, one with an agenda of his own that could destroy them all. And unraveling the “secret of indigo moon” was the farthest thing from their minds.

At Isambard Dunstan’s School for Wayward Children, these things just seem to happen.
In The Secret of Indigo Moon, confirmed troublemakers Erik, Sadie, and Saskia plunge headlong into a new and perilous mystery, one that challenges everything they thought they knew about their lives, themselves, and whom it’s safe to trust.
