Today, Roberta talks to Dustin Crowe about his new book Your Wilderness Is Not a Waste: God's Purpose in Suffering and Struggles, available from Moody Publishers.
The wilderness can be scary—a place full of peril and desolation. And it can feel meaningless. But when we read the Scriptures, the wilderness is also the place God reveals Himself and cares for the people He loves. Pastor Dustin Crowe explores the biblical theme of the wilderness, helping readers counter the harsh, seemingly hopeless seasons in their lives with hope and courage.
The wilderness is often the place where God grows our faith and proves His faithfulness. But to grow, we must be intentional about listening and leaning into His provision. Looking to wilderness stories of the Bible—including Hagar, Moses, David, Eijah, and Jesus—Your Wilderness Is Not a Waste shows who God is and how He’s at work. Readers will find encouragement in His good purposes as they experience God’s sustaining and shaping grace in their lives.
The wilderness has a dual nature, with both threats to our faith and opportunities to grow in faith. As we depend on God, we discover how to worship in our wilderness rather than waste it. Whether you’re in a season of significant transition, spiritual apathy, heartbreak, waiting, or a time of trial and testing, God invites you to come close—to experience His provision and power—Your Wilderness Is Not a Waste shows us how.

Today, Roberta talks to Jackson TerKeurst about his new book The Only Way Forward Is Back: A Story of War, Adoption, and Finding Your Purpose in God’s Plan, available from David C Cook publishers.
War orphan Jackson TerKeurst’s remarkable story of adoption and faith teaches us to notice God’s presence in our lives so we can look toward the future with hope.
The son of a town chief. The grandson of a witch doctor. An orphan, a war statistic, a nameless boy trying to survive gunfire and starvation during the Liberian Civil War. Jackson TerKeurst used to find his identity in scarcity and trauma. Today he finds it in knowing he is a child of God.
Jackson came to America as a teenager with little education, was adopted by a Christian family, and then graduated college and started his own business. His incredible story has been featured on the Oprah Winfrey Network and the Today Show. Now, for the first time, Jackson shares his spiritual journey against the backdrop of his biography as he calls us to see how God can redeem the pain in our own lives.
The Only Way Forward Is Back is a riveting account of perseverance, sacrificial love, and transformative grace. It invites us to view our personal stories through the lens of a literal and spiritual orphan who learned to hold fast to his identity as God’s beloved child—and inspires each one of us to do the same.

Today, Roberta talks to Julie Lowe about her new children's book Gus Gets Badgered: When You Meet a Bully, available from New Growth Press publishers.
In Gus Gets Badgered, children will learn how recognize and navigate when someone is mistreating others, and with God’s help, speak up for what is right and good.

This makes Gus uncomfortable, and he asks his dad what he should do. With his dad’s advice, and the help of his friends, Gus is able to speak up the next time Wesley is mean to him.
Edited by counselor Julie Lowe, Gus Gets Badgered offers concrete, grace-based help for recognizing and responding to bullying and is part of the Good News for Little Hearts series that brings gospel wisdom and biblical counsel to families.

Today, Roberta talks to Jaimie Jamgochian about her new book Sacred Surrender.
“After long seasons of believing and waiting for precious promises from God to come to pass (that have yet to), I realized that it was time to start living to the fullest in the in-between and empty places. It has become my life mantra that it is still possible to find joy and live fully even in the most barren places. I finally booked the dream trip solo, recognizing that Jesus is the best date since He knows the deepest desires of my heart. I finally started seeing myself through His lens instead of how the world perceives me.
Although I have had the honor of achieving career goals and dreams, that has not come without a cost. But that is all part of this walk of faith. Trials will threaten to knock us downfrom time to time, but we can choose whether they crush us or refine us.

Today, Roberta talks to Jared Mitzelfelt about his new book Marked by Joy: Discovering the Joy that Defined the First Believers, available from Lucid Books publishers.
Do you long for a life filled with joy? You're not alone-joy is a desire shared by everyone. As followers of Jesus, we are called to be people of joy, even in the midst of trials and suffering. When we look at the early church in the New Testament, we see a community marked by overflowing joy, despite facing intense persecution and societal pressures. They were a people marked by joy.
But what about today? Does joy still mark Christians in the twenty-first century? Too often, we find ourselves weighed down by anxiety, depression, anger, and discontentment-far from the joy that should define us. What has happened to the joy that once set believers apart?
What about you? Does joy mark your life, or have other struggles taken its place?
In this book, we'll dive into Scripture to uncover the root of our joy deficit and seek practical ways to restore joy to our lives, even during challenging times. My prayer is that, after reading this, you will be equipped to cultivate lasting joy and live the joy-filled life God has always intended for you.

Today, Roberta talks to Glenna Marshall about her new book Known and Loved: Experiencing the Affection of God in Psalm 139, available from Moody Publishers.
Fearfully and wonderfully made—some truths transform us, body and soul.
We hear that God is love and that He loves us, but what does that mean? And can this truth sink into our hearts in such a way that we are changed?
In Known and Loved, Glenna Marshall reflects on Psalm 139, exploring the transformational truth that we are fully known and loved by the Triune God of the universe. This book, overflowing with truth and encouragement, combats the myths and lies that we are unlovable, alone, or unseen. God sets His love on us in spite of our failings and even when we feel unlovable.
The psalmist tips our chins to fix our gaze on God who doesn’t hold back His affections. Taking readers verse by verse Glenna shows how you are … known to the core, known body and soul, known in the dark and in your suffering, known when you want to run or give up, known in your fears and when you feel alone.
We can be certain of God’s steadfast love. Immerse yourself in Psalm 139—a transformational journey into the heart of God for you.

Today, Roberta talks to Mike Novotny about his new book How to Talk Taboo: A Christian Guide to Honest Confession and Brave Confrontation.
Do you live in Kindoftrueville?
It’s that place where you share enough of yourself to get by but hold back the one “taboo” sin that fills you with shame. Or where you love that friend just like Jesus does but casually ignore the addictions, habits, or choices eating them alive.
A lot of Christians these days live there—trapped by fear and shame. You may even feel stuck there. But the truth is, you don’t have to stay there.
This bookby Pastor Mike Novotny shows you how to face your fears, get to the other side of awkward, and bravely step into the freedom honesty brings. You’ll learn that honesty leads to grace. It’s the secret sauce for true Christian community. And it’s how you experience the fullness of God’s love.
So if you’re tired of posing, exhausted by sin management, and ready to love others enough to have tough and taboo conversations with them, then it’s time to choose honesty . . . and break free!

Today, Roberta talks to Darby Strickland about the new book A Big Change Happened: Helping Children through Upheaval, available from New Growth Press publishers.
A Big Change Happened helps children who are facing a move, starting a new school, or adjusting to a new family dynamic process their feelings through the story of Wallace the whale.
Wallace Whale loves his home in the warm blue sea near the green island where he and Mama sing, eat, sleep, and play. But one day, Mama tells him about a big change—they’re leaving for a long journey North! Wallace is worried and has so many questions: What will the North be like? Will he be okay? As they swim into the unknown, Mama gently reminds Wallace: Wherever you go, whatever you do, God’s love follows you.
Counselor Darby A. Strickland uses the story of Wallace along with Psalm 139 to help parents and caregivers walk with children through big changes and the questions that come with those changes. A special section at the end of the book helps parents and caregivers guide their children through accepting their new situation and uses biblical truths to reassure children that God’s love never changes.

Today, Roberta talks to Amanda Haley about her new book Stones Still Speak: How Biblical Archaeology Illuminates the Stories You Thought You Knew, available from Revell publishers.
Untangling the Sunday School Stories You Learned from the Biblical History You Haven't
· Biblical archaeologist unearths the riches of the historical and cultural contexts of the Bible
· Unveils God's Word as one glorious, world-changing story
When we first encounter the Bible, we are taught its stories--Adam and Eve, Moses and the Red Sea, David and Goliath, Jonah and the whale, and more. When a story lacks the details we crave, we fill in the blanks--with what we've seen in movies, read in books, and been told by our Sunday school teachers. But there's a better way to encounter the whole story of Scripture: uncovering and understanding the ancient world and the people who experienced biblical events.
In Stones Still Speak, Harvard-trained archaeologist and theologian Amanda Hope Haley scrapes back 2,000 years of misguided cultural interpretations to reveal God's Word in its historical, archaeological, and literary contexts. Far from a dry academic exercise, this process explains how our misunderstandings developed and revitalizes the Scripture you thought you knew, with the greater purpose of encouraging a more intentional, rigorous study of the Bible in your daily life.

Today, Roberta talks to Grace Fox about her new book Names of God: Knowing Peace, available from Aspire Press publishers.
Peace. The very word evokes images of serene landscapes and quiet stillness. In today’s chaotic world, peace is a valuable commodity. The Bible has a lot to say about peace, claiming that God himself is the ultimate source. In this follow-up to Names of God: Living Unafraid, Grace Fox reflects on how the following names of God point to the peace our souls so desperately crave:
Knowing Peace uses examples from Scripture and compelling real-life stories to illustrate how these names can bring inner peace amid life’s storms. Each session includes a guided prayer, reflection questions, and a video link providing additional insights from Grace. Perfect for individual or group study, this new addition to the Names of God series will encourage and inspire readers to draw near to God and receive his peace that passes understanding (Philippians 4:7).

Today, Roberta talks to Jonathon Seidl about his new book Confessions of a Christian Alcoholic: A Candid Conversation on Drinking, Addiction, and How to Break Free, available from Revell publishers.
There's hope for alcoholics who become Christians--and for Christians who become alcoholics
· Learn what alcoholism really looks like
· Discover how to break free from destructive habits and shame
· Embrace the freedom that comes from radical honesty and vulnerability
While the Christian community loves stories of salvation, it struggles with stories of sanctification--the often-messy journey of becoming like Jesus. As a result, many Christians who stumble are mired in shame, especially when it comes to one of society's biggest post-Covid obsessions: alcohol. But there is hope for those willing to rethink their drinking.
In Confessions of a Christian Alcoholic, Jonathon M. Seidl vividly tells his own story of disordered drinking. Not only does he address the roots of addiction, trauma, and the often-overlooked reality that Christians aren't immune to sin struggles, he also reframes the term alcoholic and shares the practical yet spiritual four-step process he used to break free--a process readers will find helpful for working through many of life's struggles.
Written in an engaging, conversational style, Confessions shows that there's hope for Christians who become alcoholics, not just for alcoholics who become Christians.
