Newly released in paperback, Adam Hamilton guides us, step by step, through the last 24 hours of Jesus' life in his popular, heartbreaking, and inspiring book.

No single event in human history has received more attention than the suffering and crucifixion of Jesus of Nazareth. In this book, Hamilton will help you experience and understand the significance of Jesus' suffering and death like never before. He retraces the day that changed human history in his usual straightforward yet easy, conversational style that speaks to both long-time Christians and those who are simply curious about the story of Christ's crucifixion.

This new edition includes devotions for each chapter and travel notes from Adam's trip to the Holy Lands. Support materials include Leader Guide, a DVD, materials for all ages of Youth and Children's Ministries, plus many more resources.

Adam Hamilton combines biblical story, historical detail, theological analysis, spiritual insight, and pastoral warmth to retell the narrative of Jesus' last and greatest hours. - Leith Anderson, author of The Jesus Revolution

Adam Hamilton's 24 Hours That Changed the World delivers solid scholarship describing how the day of Christ's crucifixion unfolded. It also suggests that our response to Christ's work - when it appears evil has the upper hand - can be one of courageous hope and great courage. Read this book! - Mark Beeson, Lead Pastor of Granger Community Church in Granger, Indiana

Adam Hamilton is, in my opinion, a national treasure. He embodies the kind of generous orthodoxy so many of us have been dreaming of and praying for. - Brian McLaren, author of A New Kind of Christian

Discover your purpose, passion, and mission for your retirement years.

Retirement can be the most purpose-filled, satisfying, fun phase of your life!

Thousands of men and women are retiring each day, and many look forward to this phase of life with equal parts excitement and anxiety. Baby boomers have high expectations of retirement: they want to be redeployed to a life that is meaningful, significant, and full of joy. But this requires thoughtful planning, and many soon-to-be retirees wonder how they’ll get there, or if they’re even on the right path. 

At the Crossroads, by Clayton Smith and Dave Wilson, is a six-week Bible-based study offering comprehensive, practical help for Christians who are approaching, entering, or already in retirement. Readers can work through the book on their own or as part of a group. 

The book guides readers through a study and reflection process to discover their purpose, passion, and mission for retirement. It includes self-assessments and other planning tools to help readers develop a personal and spiritual mission statement. The book also facilitates discussions with family and friends about shared priorities, expectations, and end-of-life decisions, bringing a sense of peace for all involved. Finally, the book includes a chapter on financial planning, with a focus on the reader’s legacy, for an impact that will last through generations.

We’re all searching. Sometimes the search is easy: simply type a question and the answer pops up. But sometimes our questions are complicated, and the answers are difficult to see and harder to articulate. How do we discover and examine the truths that give meaning and purpose to life? The Apostles’ Creed, an early statement of foundational Christian beliefs, contains some powerful answers.

This is what Adam has to say about Creed:  In some ways it is my attempt to do what C.S. Lewis did in 1943 with Mere Christianity – to help Christians understand what they believe, but even more importantly, to make the case for Christian faith for those who have doubts or questions.

I use the Apostles’ Creed as a way of looking at the essential tenants of Christianity and then look at how we make sense of these things in our modern world, and why these beliefs still matter.  As I wrote it I was thinking of the many young adults who grew up in church but no longer attend.

Chapters include:
• God
• Jesus Christ
• The Holy Spirit
• The Church and the Communion of Saints
• The Forgiveness of Sin
• The Resurrection of the Body

The DVD contains six video segments of 10-12 minutes each, featuring Adam Hamilton in an informal setting with a group of seekers and believers. The videos, when combined with the six book chapters, make an ideal 6-week group study. All video sessions are closed captioned.
