J.D. Greear shows us how prayer was a nonnegotiable daily staple in Jesus’ life, more essential to him than eating or sleeping and, therefore, why we need to pray as well. He shows us how we can enjoy the same source of power as our Lord and the early church when we learn to "just ask" and depend on our heavenly Father as they did.

Most of us are familiar with the events of the first Christmas - the manger scene, shepherds watching sheep, angels singing their songs, and wise men arriving - but what if there’s more to the story? What if the birth of Jesus is actually the most significant event in all of history and can transform our lives? This evangelistic book goes beyond the birth of Jesus to look at what he did when he grew up and how he fulfilled the names given to him centuries beforehand by the prophet Isaiah.

J.D. Greear considers Jesus’ radical call to give your life away to the greatest cause of all. To view your life from the perspective of eternity. To start making decisions now that you’ll be glad you made. It’s time to put your “yes” on the table and let God put it on the map.

Join pastor J. D. Greear as he looks at the life of Daniel—a Jewish man who was distinctively faithful yet genuinely beloved in the culture of Babylon—and at the writings of Peter and other New Testament authors, who used Babylon as a metaphor for the secular world after Jesus' ascension. In the process, you will discover what it means to "live quietly" in this world while "testifying loudly" for Christ—whether that is in your workplace, children's school, neighborhood, or even on social media.

Tired of being a pawn in the culture war? Feeling squeezed between political and theological extremes? In this practical and encouraging book, you can discover biblical insights for witnessing well in our polarized, post-Christian world.

What is Christianity really all about? Drawing on passages from Romans 1 to 12, J. D. Greear unpacks the essential aspects of the Christian message, showing both secular and religious people what the gospel is and how it addresses our most pertinent questions. The gospel, as he explains, is not just about life after death: it’s about reclaiming the life we’ve always yearned to live.
