What happens when a covenant people, chosen and blessed by God, turn their backs on Him? The Book of Ezra tells the powerful story of the Jewish exiles, a people who lost their land and temple due to disobedience, yet were graciously restored by God's sovereign hand. In this engaging 40-day devotional, Steven R. Martins, founder of the Cántaro Institute, guides listeners through the historical account of Ezra, exploring its profound relevance for today.

This 31-day devotional walks through key passages in Genesis, revealing how God forms His people through identity, anchors them with purpose, and sustains them by promise. Each day offers Scripture-centered insight, thoughtful reflection, and practical application to strengthen your walk with the Lord.

Ouch! Sheep and Shepherds Bite: Slaying Bitterness is for anyone who has felt the sting of being hurt in the church—whether by a fellow believer, a trusted leader, or even a friend you thought would never turn against you. These wounds cut deep, and bitterness can take root quickly, poisoning your joy and faith. But God has given us the tools to fight back. In this book, the author draws from Scripture and real-life pastoral experience to show you how to: Recognize and confront bitterness before it takes over your heart.
