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 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.

• The third book in the Comfort for Children in Hard Times series, addressing difficult experiences that children commonly face and offering gospel hope and help.
• Children ages four to seven will be drawn to the bright and beautiful underwater world created Kevin and Kristen Howdeshell.
• The companion minibook, Helping Children with Change: Holding Fast to God During Upheaval by Darby A. Strickland is also available to give parents and caregivers more detailed help.
• Also available, a plush Wallace toy whale that gives kids something soft and comforting to snuggle when they’re anxious and serves as a reminder that wherever they go, God will be with them.

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:

• Yahweh Shalom―The Lord Is Peace
• Abba―Father
• El Shaddai―God Almighty
• El Roi―The God Who Sees Me
• Yahweh Ori―The Lord Is My Light
• Yahweh Nissi―The Lord Is My Banner
• Immanuel―God with Us

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).
