Product Description

If you want to grow your relationship with the Lord, the Christian Formation bundle has everything you need. Featuring books on wisdom, dependence, and identity, this set draws from Scripture and joyfully brings you close to Jesus.

Wisdom's Call
The universe is a carefully ordered place designed for humanity's good and God's glory. Too often, however, we attempt life based on our own understanding. To become wise, we must respond to Wisdom's call—to dwell in Wisdom's house. Scripture teaches that Christ Himself is our wisdom. Ellis shows us how to claim the asset of wisdom and invites us to experience Jesus Christ—the Wisdom on which our world rests.

What to Wear
What to Wear is your kids' journey into their truest identity—Jesus Christ! The Apostle Paul tells us that our identity is in Christ, and we need to dress the part. All who follow Jesus—kids included—must take off and put on certain things. What to Wear is an eight-part study of these items of "clothing" Paul teaches about in Colossians 3. How do we put on compassion, kindness, humility, meekness, patience, forbearance, forgiveness, and love? This study shows your kids how Jesus perfectly embodies these virtues and how He enables us to grow in them.

Abiding Dependence
You want to grow more deeply in your faith—to know in your bones the love the Father has for you. You want to know that even when life doesn't seem to be going as it should, God is with you. Abiding Dependence shares forty days of meditations—a deep plunge into the beauty and richness of the Gospels.

Made For More
In an uncertain world, we crave the security of knowing exactly who we are and where we belong. But too often as women, we try to find this in our roles, relationships, or professional accomplishments. And as we do, our souls shrink smaller and smaller. The truth is that you are made for more. Discover what it means to find yourself in Him. Because when you do, when His nature defines everything about yours, you will finally be free to live as He has always intended.

Spurgeon on the Power of Scripture
The great preacher Charles Spurgeon had a lot to say during his four decades of ministry. Beyond his mighty voice, Spurgeon's pen churned out countless words of biblical interpretation and Christian wisdom. These words can still encourage us today! Nothing motivated Spurgeon more than proclaiming the holy Scriptures. His love for the Bible will encourage you as well.
