Ultimate Choice – Reality TV + extreme sports + spiritual discipleship = one unforgettable 6-week youth group adventure!  Based on the popular Ultimate Choice television series, this multi-tiered program helps your teens get real with their faith by taking an honest look at the struggles of their peers.  The program includes DVD, leader's guide, group discussion cards, event guide, and a copy of My Ultimate Story. 

Emotionally Healthy Spirituality – The Christian faith is supposed to produce deep, positive change.  So why doesn't it seem to work in "real life"?  That question screamed at Pastor Peter Scazzero when his church and marriage hit bottom and every Christian remedy produced nothing but anger and fatigue.  As he began digging under the "good Christian" veneer, he uncovered entire emotional layers of his life that God had not yet touched.  Discovering that his emotional immaturity had fed his spiritual immaturity, Scazzero experienced a spiritual revolution by biblically integrating emotional health and contemplative spirituality.  In Emotionally Healthy Spirituality, Scazzero unveils what's wrong with our conventional means of "spiritual growth" and offers seven biblical, reality-tested, transformational steps that will help you live out your faith with authenticity, awareness, and a hunger for God. 

iWorship Voices of the Faithful – This is the companion of Beth Moore's 365-day devotional Voices of the Faithful.  Each song will ignite a passion in your heart for those around the world who are serving on the frontline of missions.  This Resource System DVD combines the most powerful praise and worship music with the most advanced audiovisual presentation.  The result: a total multimedia experience, bringing worship to life. Songs: "Days Of Elijah", "Hope Of The Nations", "Offering (Christmas Version)", "Our Heart", "Praise Adonai", "We Speak To Nations", " When It's All Been Said And Done". 

Mudhouse Sabbath – "It’s not just that Jesus was a Jew, Jesus still is a Jew.  Engaging Jewish practice and tradition is one important way of overcoming the gaps that we sometimes feel exist between Jesus and ourselves."   So begins Lauren Winner on the powerful new Mudhouse Sabbath DVD.  Designed to be a course in Christian formation all by itself, or as a companion to her bestselling book, this resource will challenge you to encounter the Jewish context that nurtured Jesus; to explore spiritual practices of hospitality, mindful eating, prayer and fasting, and mourning; and to deepen your Christian faith by incorporating these things into your life. 

40 Days of Love – What should our number one priority be?  Rick Warren says it should be loving God with all your heart and your neighbor as yourself.  But that's a tall order in our distracting, temptation-filled, me-first society!  In this 6-session DVD study, he shares practical guidance on how to love like Jesus---with patience, kindness, truth, and forgiveness.
