$16.49
“Must read material for serious Christians! As the end time storm clouds gather, it is time for an open and honest appraisal of the Church. The Bride and the Broken Wineskin steps outside the religious forms that currently limit the Church and makes a powerful call for a return to biblical team structure, capable of growing each believer up to his, or her, FULL ministry and potential service. The Author draws on many years of experience pastoring, ministering and prayerful bible study to provide the simple, yet powerful answers capable of re-energizing the Church to fruitful growth as we seek to bring In the end time harvest of souls.” -Gary Robinson – A Geophysicist, and an Elder and minister to the body of Christ God views what we call “church” and sees two expressions: The Bride of the Lord Jesus 1. Passionate for her Groom. 2. Submitted to Jesus as her only head. 3. Flexible and desirous for the Lord’s will. The Old and Broken Wineskin 1. Functional yet lacking true passion for the Lord. 2. Dominated by man. 3. Rigid and motivated by self-interest. The Question we must ask is, “our church” an expression of the bride or the old wineskin? We must endeavor to remove obstacles that keep us from being the expression of Christ’s glorious bride on the earth, encourage pure worship, and surrender to Jesus the only Head of the church Brother Steve has some very valuable insight into the plight of our immature and broken condition as the Church. We must as individual believers; get our life from Christ, via the presence of His Holy Spirit. Steve rightly points out that eternal fruit is thus produced, and that our present focus on the organization tends to hinder the healthy growth of the organism, that glorious body of Christ, the Bride. May the Redeemer indeed reclaim and build His Church, as HE desires. -Marc Felder – A Minister of the Gospel that has established churches In the U.S. and Ireland

Life Lessons From James
$14.99Add to cartDo your Monday actions reflect your Sunday worship? How about your claims to faith? Is your life full of noticeable changes and actions? James, the half-brother of Jesus, wasn’t impressed with talk. He knew that a life of faith was all about actions that revealed a difference in a person’s life. For him, it was not that works save the Christian, but that they mark the Christian. In his letter, he boldly deals with practical issues of faith not bound by culture or place. He shows the importance of living a genuine life of faith. His message is bare-knuckled as he encourages, challenges, and confronts, offering practical words and admonitions to live out our faith.

Women Of The Bible Speak
$21.00Add to cartThe women of the Bible lived timeless stories–by examining them, we can understand what it means to be a woman of faith.
People unfamiliar with Scripture often assume that women play a small, secondary role in the Bible. But in fact, they were central figures in numerous Biblical tales. It was Queen Esther’s bravery at a vital point in history which saved her entire people. The Bible contains warriors like Jael, judges like Deborah, and prophets like Miriam. The first person to witness Jesus’ resurrection was Mary Magdalene, who promptly became the first Christian evangelist, eager to share the news which would change the world forever.
In The Women of the Bible Speak, Fox News Channel’s Shannon Bream opens up the lives of sixteen of these Biblical women, arranging them into pairs and contrasting their journeys. In pairing their stories, Shannon helps us reflect not only on the meaning of each individual’s life, but on how they relate to each other and to us.
From the shepherdesses of ancient Israel who helped raise the future leaders of the people of God, to the courageous early Christians, the narrative of the Bible offers us many vivid and fascinating female characters. In their lives we can see common struggles to resist bitterness, despair, and pride, and to instead find their true selves in faith, hope, and love. In studying these heroes of the faith, we can find wisdom and warnings for how to better navigate our own faith journeys.
The Women of the Bible Speak outlines the lessons we can take from the valor of Esther, the hope of Hannah, the audacity of Rahab, and the faith of Mary. In broadening each woman’s individual story, Shannon offers us a deeper understanding of each, and wisdom and insights that can transform our own lives today.
