Why we write
Some passages have grown so familiar they have stopped landing. Both of these books do the same thing in different corners of Scripture: put the words back where they were spoken, and let them do their work again.
Bringing Heaven Here
Most of us know the Lord’s Prayer by heart — recited at church, whispered in crisis, half-asleep at bedtime. Familiarity has worn the words smooth. In a world this loud and divided, a lifeless prayer will not carry us far.
Brad Gray and Brad Nelson invite you to see the prayer the way Jesus first gave it — in its original history, culture, and everyday life. Read that way, it stops being routine and becomes a blueprint for discipleship: the same prayer that sustained Jesus, meant to sustain us.

Make Your Mark • Brad Gray
Who are we supposed to be? How are we supposed to live? What are we supposed to do? Wrestling with our calling is a fundamental struggle for just about everyone — and the Samson narrative turns out to be one of the most instructive places in Scripture to work it out.
Often told as a story about muscles and seduction, there is far more in this ancient account. With passion, humor, and skill, Brad Gray unpacks it anew — showing how to make the most of the life you have been given and leave a positive mark on your world.
