Everyone wants to belong.
What does true belonging look like when the society you live in is not something you want to “belong” to?
In Liturgies for Resisting Empire, Cuban American theologian and writer Kat Armas provides a roadmap for Christians seeking a countercultural way of living that prioritizes community and humanity over dominance and power.
Armas combines spiritual practices and biblical theology to help us create authentic belonging to God, ourselves, each other, and creation. She begins by examining how empire affects us daily through its pervasive ideologies and systems of control. Drawing from decolonial and postcolonial biblical interpretation, she explores how the New Testament church resisted Roman imperial power while building communities centered on God’s kingdom values rather than worldly dominance.
This book offers hope for Christians struggling to live faithfully within systems of exploitation and oppression. Armas provides practical spiritual disciplines, community-building strategies, and theological frameworks that empower readers to resist empire’s dehumanizing effects while cultivating spaces of authentic belonging and liberation.
Discover a spiritual way of life that you actually want to belong to–one liturgy at a time.

Prayers That Avail Much For America
$14.99Lift your Prayers!
When America was first established, it was founded as a “city on a hill.” Today, our nation falls far short of that aspiration. But there is hope.“If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray… then I will hear from heaven… and will heal their land.” – 2 Chron. 7:14 (NIV)
God still has a grand destiny for America. As Christians align their prayers with His vision, we will begin to see this broken country mended. This call is for all believers-not just “intercessors.”
Germaine Copeland, author of the bestselling series Prayers that Avail Much, offers this timely, easy-to use guide to praying for our country.
Christians cannot sit idly by while the nation crumbles. Lift your voice to Heaven, and petition for healing for America!

Yours Is The Night
$15.99Private Matthew Petticrew arrives in France as part of the American Expeditionary Forces, an arrival which a war-weary France desperately hopes will help to end the turmoil. Having faced unthinkable things on the front, he is captivated by the sound of a lullaby, sung by a voice so pure he knows he must have imagined it. But rumors sweep through the trenches like wildfire, dubbing the voice “The Angel of Argonne,” a mysterious presence who leaves behind wreaths on unmarked graves and footprints in the war-pocked soil.
Raised wild in the depths of the Forest of Argonne, France, Mireilles finds her world rocked when war comes crashing into the idyllic home she has always known, taking much from her. When Matthew discovers Mireilles, three things are clear: She is alone in the world, she cannot stay, and he and his two unlikely companions might be the only ones who can get her to safety.
