If you’ve ever struggled with the idea of an angry God, here is a book worth pulling from the Theology bookshelf.
What would change if you really believed — and could actually feel — that God is absolutely crazy about you?
That’s the question at the heart of Steve McVey’s Beyond an Angry God.
Steve looks at the Trinity not as a theological puzzle, but as a relationship of love — and at the beautiful idea that we were always meant to be included in that love.
He also takes on some of the questions that can make grace hard to receive:
Why does God sometimes seem so different in the Old and New Testaments?
Was the Father angry with Jesus at the cross?
Is God ever angry with us?
Why do we still sometimes feel abandoned, guilty, ashamed, or separated from Him?
If those are questions you’ve wrestled with, this is a book worth spending some time with.
You’ll find Beyond an Angry God on our Theology shelf, alongside other books exploring the nature of God, grace, and the finished work.

A little behind-the-scenes Bookstore update…

Over just the last 14 days, The Bookstore had:
248 sessions
173 unique visitors
61 tracked button clicks

And here’s the part that really gets my attention:
173 unique visitors in 14 days is 50 more people than we had during the entire previous 30-day period — about 41% more people in less than half the time.

Readers are coming in through the homepage, the Library, author pages, Audio, New Releases, Series & Collections, and the category shelves.

And Purchase continues to be one of the most-clicked actions on the site.

That doesn’t mean every click becomes a confirmed sale, but it does mean readers are finding books they’re interested enough in to leave The Bookstore and continue to Amazon.

That’s exactly what we built this for.

Not just another place to display a book cover, but a place where readers can discover authors, browse across categories, and find books they may not have known to look for.

We’re also in the process of building dedicated author pages for our Bookstore Partners, with individual links they can share directly with their own readers.

The Bookstore is still young, but the growth we’re seeing is really encouraging.

If you’re an author and you’ve been wondering what Bookstore partnership actually looks like, this is a little glimpse of it. ❤️

That version does two things at once: celebrates the momentum and markets the partnership without sounding like an ad.

Beginning to add author pages to The Bookstore — and it seemed only fitting to start with the very first TWS author, and the person who also helped spark the idea for the Bookstore in the first place: Don Keathley.

Don’s new page brings together his books, Epistle Series, audio, co-authored titles, and links to more of his work — all in one place.

This is exactly why I wanted to create author pages: to give readers an easier way to find everything by a particular author, and to give our authors one direct Bookstore link they can share.

More author pages are coming this month.

There’s a new shelf in The Bookstore: New Releases.

It’s where we’ll gather books that have just been released, along with a few that are coming soon.

Right now you’ll find titles from Wm. Paul Young, John Crowder, Tullian Tchividjian, Chris Gore, Steve McVey, and more—and we’ll keep adding to the shelf as new books arrive.

Just added something new to The Bookstore…
The Library is now open. 📚
It’s a free reading room where you can read and download past issues of The Journal, enjoy a featured free download, and soon browse handpicked reading lists for your next grace-centered read.
I love the idea of The Bookstore being more than a place to purchase books. I want it to be a place to linger. A place to discover. A place people return to often.
So come browse the shelves… and spend a little time in the Library.

The Bookstore
A place to linger, discover, and return.

A quiet room inside The Bookstore with past issues of The Journal, a featured seasonal reading, and curated lists, gathered with care and free to keep.

The Bookstore keeps growing, and we’re grateful to welcome Tullian Tchividjian’s books to the shelves.

His forthcoming book, Fragments of Freedom, will be added for preorder, along with One Way Love, Jesus + Nothing = Everything, and Carnage & Grace.

We’re building The Bookstore to become the first place readers look for grace-centered books — a curated space where they can discover voices rooted in the goodness of God and the freedom of grace.

How does life go on in the face of irreconcilable loss? How can the irredeemable find redemption? Unrivaled storyteller Wm. Paul Young leads us back to the great questions of human existence in this long-awaited sequel to one of the world’s most beloved and widely read books of the last twenty yea...

To celebrate our first Between the Pages feature, TWS is giving away 3 copies of Uncle Pink: Dirt-n-All by Bill Winn.
If you’ve already stepped into the story—or you’re just curious—you’re invited to explore the feature and share what stood out to you.
Steve and I will draw 3 winners live from Italy on Good Friday over on the Bookstore page.
You don’t need to be present to win.

Come take a look and join the conversation:

​​If Book 1 is any indication, what lies ahead will likely carry equal parts trouble, heart, and the kind of truth that sneaks up on you. Pink’s world is full of mischief, tenderness, and the steady grace of being loved dirt-n-all.
