Before God made humanity, he made a home for them. He built a sacred place, and we can do the same. Hygge [HYOO-guh] is a funny Danish word with no English equivalent. It has ties to comfort and consolation. It's a way of making the mundane and necessary meaningful and beautiful. It's soul rest. When you sit in a comfy chair by the fire, that's hygge. When you arrange a fresh bouquet of wildflowers on a bedside table, that's hygge too. Candles, soft furnishings, natural light, fresh-baked pastries, intimate gatherings with friends--these are all hygge.Hygge appeals to our desire for slow living and shared moments. It embraces beauty and contentment. It's warm and inviting. Hygge is the opposite of hustle. It welcomes simplicity. Hygge is way of making home.The world is ripe for the comfort of real sanctuary. Yet the perfect blend of coffee or softest of blankets cannot heal our deep soul ache. Our home is a Person. And all is sacred when understood in light of Christ and His kingdom. In Holy Hygge Jamie Erickson unites a popular lifestyle practice with the deep, theological truths of the gospel. She shows us how hygge can be a companion for making a home where people can find God. Jamie invites us to invite others into a relationship with Jesus.

Know your enemy.We don't talk a lot about sin these days. But maybe we should. The Puritans sure did--because they understood sin's deceptive power and wanted to root it out of their lives. Shouldn't we want the same?Though many books have been written on the "doctrine of sin," few are as practical and applicable as this one. In Knowing Sin, Mark Jones puts his expertise in the Puritans to work by distilling the vast wisdom of our Christian forebears into a single volume that summarizes their thought on this vital subject. The result isn't a theological tome to sit on your shelf and gather dust, but a surprisingly relevant book to keep by your bedside and refer to again and again. You'll come to understand topics like: Sin's OriginSin's GriefSin's ThoughtsSin's TemptationsSin's MiserySin's SecrecySin's DefeatNone of us is free from the struggle with sin. The question isn't whether we're sinful, it's what we're doing about it. Thanks be to God, there is a path to overcoming sin. And the first step on that path to victory is knowing what we're up against. Start Knowing Sin today!
