Book Description
A full range of human emotion and experience is captured beautifully and poignantly in L.L. Culpepper’s debut book of poetry A Surrendered Soul, Like Water. As a writer, Culpepper uses her words to bring meaningful expression to the often indescribable ruminations of the heart and to the hardships we encounter along life’s journey. And whether she is mining the depths of despair, reminding us of the fragility of life, or speaking of surrender and salvation, she does so with the utmost sensitivity, using her carefully chosen words to bring clarity and comfort. The scriptures that accompany many of the poems provide a spiritual context to the poet’s contemplations, and offer a hopeful perspective on how God works patiently through our struggles, confusion, hurts, fears, and even failures to create purpose and new beginnings. In A Surrendered Soul, Like Water Culpepper has accomplished the aim of many poets and artists: to express deeply personal thoughts and experiences in a universal way that reaches other human beings. It’s the kind of poetry you will find yourself returning to repeatedly, sharing with others, and relating to in new and profound ways at various seasons of your life. – Allison Malafronte, editor

In Journey of the Soul, they draw on more than 70,000 hours of providing therapy and spiritual direction to show you how to identify your current stage of faith and the next steps to take based on your unique needs and struggles. With Scripture, self-assessments, and soul care practices to support your progress along the way, this insightful and inspiring book will be a treasured companion on your journey no matter where you are or how long you've been following Jesus.

“Letters to Christian about God” describes a spiritual journey of discovery into the nature of God saving our soul. God reveals His goodness and reflects His glory by sending us into His word. He shows us His perfections, and our redemption in His Son. By the grace of God, we begin to know God’s ways, and are enabled to begin to worship Him in truth, holiness, and gratitude. For a saved person, the nature of God becomes love and grace. For a saved person, the knowledge of faith gained in the conscience about Jesus becomes the victory that overcomes the world. God overcomes us and saves us from ourselves, and we become a part of His glory. When we learn the sovereign nature of God, we rejoice to know that He is a Savior, and that nothing has been impossible for Him in our life. We are convinced that God guides and governs all events, and can rule the hearts and actions of all men. In Jesus, God becomes to us wisdom, righteousness, and sanctification. He becomes the greatest wonder of our life. God gets our attention when we find His presence alive in Bible study. The Word becomes the origin of our faith, peace, strength, and security for this life, and the life to come. When the Lord draws us closer to Himself, the convictions in our heart reveal His patient work in us to establish an abundant life. Letters about God can open your heart to hear God’s goodness. It can open your heart to the truth, fear, obedience, and gratitude for the sovereignty and majesty of God.

Book Description
As Christians, we know that we are new creations in Jesus. So we try to act differently, hoping this will make us more like Him. But changing our outward behavior doesn’t change our hearts. Only by God’s grace can we be transformed internally. Renovation of the Heart lays a biblical foundation for understanding what best-selling author Dallas Willard calls the “transformation of the spirit”—a divine process that “brings every element in our being, working from inside out, into harmony with the will of God.” This fresh approach to spiritual growth explains the biblical reasons why Christians need to undergo change in six aspects of life: thought, feeling, will, body, social context, and soul. Willard also outlines a general pattern of transformation in each area, not as a sterile formula but as a practical process that you can follow without the guilt or perfectionism so many Christians wrestle with. Don’t settle for complacency. Accept the challenge Renovation of the Heart offers to become an intentional apprentice of Jesus Christ, changing daily as you walk with Him.
