Sometimes there are no words. When we find ourselves buried in grief and pain, we don’t know what to say or how to pray. Glenna Marshall has been there. After suffering for over a decade with chronic pain, she knows what it’s like to feel exhausted, frustrated, and, at times, prayerless. But she has also learned that prayer is how we survive the grip of crushing pain. In her new book, Praying in Pain, Glenna draws from the beautiful, honest words of the Psalms—words like How long? Hear me. Heal me. Help me. I trust you. I love you. From these words, she composed The Sufferer’s Lament, a prayer for those moments when it feels as though there are no words. If you’re wondering why God doesn’t always heal this side of heaven, how to pray while you wait, or what good purposes he might bring through ongoing suffering, Praying in Pain is for you. Let this book help you learn to pray Scripture and trust God in the waiting.

Judgment. We feel it—inside and outside the church. Parents feel judged by their kids. Ministry leaders feel scrutinized. Moms judge other moms. And if you’re honest…you might wonder, Am I the judgy one? Whether it’s your friend’s choices, your child’s messy room, or something you saw online, you’re not alone. The Bible warns against judgment yet also calls us to discern. So what are we supposed to do? In Kinda Judgy, Shannon Popkin walks through six stories of Scripture, bringing clarity to judgment and mercy, and helping us care about what matters to God. Through personal stories, real-life moments, and questions that get to the heart, she gently challenges and invites us to think, live, and respond as children of the merciful Judge. If you’re exhausted by conflict, judgment, and shame, Kinda Judgy is your invitation to lay down the gavel, trade condemnation for compassion, and encounter the One who settles your heart with His lavish mercy. You can find Kinda Judgy wherever books are sold or learn more at MoodyPublishers.com.

Does God really delight in women? Is His Word really for us? The conversations we have around women and girls in the church can be confusing, discouraging, and even paralyzing. We want so badly to get this right: to truly understand who God says women are, what He’s called us to, and how we can serve Him right where He’s placed us. But with so many different voices—or sometimes no voice at all—what’s a girl to believe? In Very Good, a 7-session Bible study, Jen Oshman walks through Scripture to show God’s good design for women and their vital place in His story. This study brings clarity where there’s confusion and confidence rooted in God’s Word. Discover how very good it is to be a woman. Learn more at lifeway.com/verygood.
