Are you tired of battling shame? Long to be truly known and deeply loved? Hesitant to show others the real you? We are all made for connection, but many of us live with walls up and hearts closed. What would it take for us to let go and stand tall and unashamed? I Am Found guides us in just that. This six-week Bible study on shame and identity explores how we can own our stories, trust God’s affections, and relate honestly with Him and others. Each week begins with biblical teaching and is followed by five days of guided reflection. Drenched in Scripture, and allowing plenty of space to journal and savor biblical truths, I Am Found welcomes you on a personal journey of transformation through God’s Word. Laura Dingman invites you to build your life on a beautiful, liberating truth: Jesus loves us in our weakness, but He doesn’t leave us there.

Bill Kruegler of Troy, New York, was a laughing, playful child, a rough and tough football player, and an amateur thespian. Whether he was playing "Dead-Eye Dick," a detective in a high school play; or dressed in a Dutch costume leading a parade; or a big brother drying the tears of his little sister, he was always helping someone. Later, as a priest, in Bolivia, he climbed mountains, traveled through jungles, visited the sick, consoled the lonely, and always had time to play with the children. His letters reveal a passion to serve people in need, especially children. Happy in his life and work, he seemed to be no threat to anyone. That's why his murder, while a whole town was celebrating, shocked people on two continents. High School students in Troy, New York wrote essays and raised money to build a chapel in his name. Bolivians named a school for him and almost forty years later, they are still telling his story to their children. IF I AM FOUND WORTHY is a book for every person who struggles to be faithful to a commitment to others, especially those who love children and want to see them safe and loved.

These true life stories are related to the parable Jesus told, in Luke chapter 15, The Good Shepherd, where Jesus leaves the larger group to find the one that is lost. We all, at one point in our lives, are lost sheep. As a result, The Good Shepherd calls each one of us to a personal relationship with Him. Sometimes it is simple. Sometimes it seems He calls them with great personal upheaval. Either way, He calls everyone individually. Read about the road each person traveled and see how God intervened at times until He finally made a call which they accepted. These are interesting and heartwarming accounts. You will be amazed to read about the many turns some have made going far from God, then read how He drew them close. It will make you reflect on your own story of how God is calling, or has called you.

I Am Restored tells the untold story of how Lecrae's past nearly ruined his future--until he learned that the wounds we carry can have the potential to be unlikely guides to healing and freedom for ourselves and others. Throughout I Am Restored, Lecrae documents the shattering yet hopeful story of how he faced the scars of his past--sexual abuse, physical trauma, addiction, and depression--and emerged more fully human than ever before. With remarkable transparency and vulnerability, Lecrae reveals that at the height of his professional success, his life was spinning out of control, driven by a past that he had never confronted and a religious perspective that was incapable of meeting the challenge.

Throughout this powerful, deeply personal account, Lecrae shares the life lessons he's learned about: Confronting the pain and trauma that has shaped your story Breaking the cycle of sin and shame and embracing joy and authenticity Finding hope and healing in the midst of chaos The simple practices that can change your mental, emotional, and spiritual health Leading a life that's bursting with creativity and true freedom I Am Restored is a hopeful, inspiring charge to start your journey to lasting healing today. No matter what your past has held, God is near you, he hears you, and he's not done writing your story.

As Casey works to collect evidence about the real murderers, she stumbles upon another unbearable injustice: an abused child and a suicidal man who’s also been falsely accused. Should Casey risk her own safety to right this wrong and protect the little girl from her tormentors?

From the influential and ever-growing movement I Am Second, a remarkable collection of stories of people searching for and finding love. When I Am Second launched in 2008, the organization intended simply to tell stories of lives changed utterly by people placing God first and themselves second.

I Found Love is the highly anticipated new book from I Am Second, gathering together stories of people who searched everywhere for fulfillment and wholeness and found it only when they surrendered to God. People whose stories appear include the following, among others: David and Tamela Mann Jason Castro Sean Lowe Stephen Baldwin Amanda Cooper Moving, compelling, and profoundly inspiring, the stories found here remind us that our hearts will always be restless until they find their rest in God and always unsatisfied until we find the love of God.
