Books
Two books that put ancient stories back in the world they were written in.
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.
