Facing God : Unlocking The Truth Of His Love And Mercy Through The Life Of
$13.99Add to cartMention the story of Job and you might as well open a can of worms. There are many different opinions on suffering and trials and what happened to cause Job to go through the most horrific trials.
Author Daphne Delay opens the eyes of the reader to many important truths. First, we have an enemy named Satan who has twisted and perverted our world. Although we might think that his destructive ways would push people toward a loving God, the devil has actually deceived many of us into believing that the world’s pain and tragedies are part of God’s doing. Yet, on the contrary, God promises in His word to be a “shelter for the oppressed and a refuge in times of trouble”.
God never promised that we would not have adversity. In fact, the Scriptures teach just the opposite but with a promise, “Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord delivers him out of them all”. But, we also have a part to play. We have a free will and have to choose to trust in Him when hard times come. Many times we confuse what comes from our enemy and what comes from God. He is merciful and kind and patient with us and longs for us to know His character.
In this book, you will realize that it isn’t about your own self-righteousness to live holy but through faith in Jesus and the loving character of God that we can live an upright life.

Being Mindful Being Christian
$19.99Add to cartWhat is mindfulness? And should we as Christians be mindful? Mindfulness programmes are increasingly being used for issues as wide-ranging as depression, pain, employee engagement, and character development, and many Christians are wondering what to make of all this. In this book, experienced psychologists explain what is meant by “being mindful”, help readers to view mindfulness more broadly than the context of Buddhism in which it is often framed, and profile the rich Christian tradition of mindful-like practice. By bringing a Christ-centred approach to mindful awareness, the authors demonstrate how to apply this practice to discipleship and spiritual growth. Readers are equipped to decide the extent to which they wish to learn and practice mindfulness, to approach it without fear, and to draw on the good within it to develop their relationship with Jesus.

Circle Maker : Praying Circles Around Your Biggest Dreams And Greatest Fear (Exp
$19.99Add to cartAccording to Pastor Mark Batterson in this expanded edition of The Circle Maker, “Drawing prayer circles around our dreams isn’t just a mechanism whereby we accomplish great things for God. It’s a mechanism whereby God accomplishes great things in us.”
Do you ever sense that there’s far more to prayer than what you’re experiencing?
It’s time you learned from the legend of Honi the Circle Maker–a man bold enough to draw a circle in the sand and not budge from inside it until God answered his impossible prayer for his people.
What impossibly big dream is God calling you to draw a prayer circle around?
Sharing inspiring stories from his own experiences as a circle maker, Mark Batterson will help you uncover your heart’s deepest desires and God-given dreams and unleash them through the kind of audacious prayer that God delights to answer.
This expanded edition of The Circle Maker also includes Batterson’s newest insights on how God answers prayer along with stories that add convincing proof to the reality that God is able to do exceedingly far greater than all we could ask or imagine.

Shocked By The Bible
$19.99Add to cartHow well do you really know the Bible? For instance, guess how many doves were aboard Noah’s Ark. The answer is not two.
And guess on which day the Bible says Jesus died. Believe it or not, the Good Book doesn’t mention Friday, and even more surprisingly, while the Bible says Jesus rose from the grave, it does not say it occurred Sunday morning. Remember, Jesus’ followers found an empty tomb then.
But don’t feel bad if you’ve always assumed otherwise. Like countless millions of people, you’ve just been misinformed, misled or even (dare we say) lied to about what the Bible actually says.
In a stunning investigation, news veteran Joe Kovacs goes on a mission to help both Christians and non-Christians alike find out what the Bible really contains, and what it doesn’t.
“Shocked by the Bible: The Most Astonishing Facts You’ve Never Been Told” is an educational juggernaut that relies solely on the Holy Bible to reveal hundreds of Scriptural facts that many people of all persuasions simply don’t know. The book instantly skyrocketed to the No. 1 position in three Bible-related categories on Amazon.com.
“I’m among the biggest fans of the Bible of all time,” says Kovacs. “My goal is to educate people about the solid truth of Scripture and to stop the spread of erroneous information. I want people to crack open their Bibles and see with their own eyes what’s actually printed on the pages, and what’s not. It’s shocking!”
According to Scripture, you won’t find “Three Wise Men” mentioned anywhere in the story of Jesus’ birth. For that matter, none are said to have shown up at the manger in Bethlehem. The truth straight from your own Bible is that an unspecified number of wise men first met Jesus as a “young child” in a “house,” not a babe in a manger, and it might have been more than a year after He was born. Go ahead, look it up for yourself.
Also according to Scripture, you won’t find a single mention of Easter eggs, but you will find God warning His people not to have anything to do with a pagan fertility goddess, whose name is synonymous with “Easter.”
“Yes, I’m a Bible-believing Christian,” says Kovacs. “But I’m not here to convert anyone. People are free to believe whatever they wish and can come to their own conclusions. I just want to show them the biblical record is often very different from what many assume. Not only will Christians love this book, but I think Jews, Muslims and even agnostics and atheists will get a kick out of

Escape Routes : For People Who Feel Trapped In Lifes Hells
$12.00Add to cartYou name the hell…there is a way out. After decades of pastoral counseling, Johann Christoph Arnold still marvels at our capacity to make life miserable for ourselves and one another. This book, his tenth, maps out a sure way out of life’s hells and toward a happy, meaningful life.
In contrast to the makeovers and quick fixes hawked by popular culture, Escape Routes offers a tougher prescription. Using real-life stories as travel guides, Arnold exposes the root causes of loneliness, frustration, alienation, and despair and shows how anyone, regardless of their age, income bracket, or social status, can find freedom and new life. The choices he presents are clear: “to be selfish or selfless, to forgive or to hate, to burn with lust or with love.”
No matter what your problems, or who you are, this book will help you on your way, provided you’re ready to take its medicine.

Silver Lining : A Practical Guide For Christian Grandmothers
$15.00Add to cartAt last, a practical, Christian guide for grandmothers — and for younger women preparing for that stage of life! Since our culture is in love with immaturity, advice written for “older” women can tend to focus on changes: empty nests, new priorities, grown children getting married, etc. But the Bible tells us to focus on the things that don’t change: In all seasons of life, God has good works prepared in advance for us to walk in. And whether you’re a young woman, married, unmarried, widowed, middle-aged, or a great-grandma, you never quit exercising that faith in Christ.
Grandkids and getting older, dinners and hospitality, mentorship and being an “in-law” all come with their own stretches of bumpy road, but faith and joy (and a little of Nancy Wilson’s practical advice) go a long way. Women travelling through this season should be thinking in terms of family legacy — and in terms of eternity — as they seek godly wisdom, great joy, and a silver-haired crown of glory.

Case For Christ
$9.99Add to cartIs there credible evidence that Jesus of Nazareth really is the Son of God?
Retracing his own spiritual journey from atheism to faith, Lee Strobel, former legal editor of the Chicago Tribune, cross-examines a dozen experts with doctorates from schools like Cambridge, Princeton, and Brandeis who are recognized authorities in their own fields.
Strobel challenges them with questions like, How reliable is the New Testament? Does evidence for Jesus exist outside the Bible? Is there any reason to believe the resurrection was an actual event?
Winner of the Gold Medallion Book Award and twice nominated for the Christian Book of the Year Award, Strobel’s tough, point-blank questions read like a captivating, fast-paced novel. But it’s not fiction. It’s a riveting quest for the truth about history’s most compelling figure.
The new edition includes scores of revisions and additions, including updated material on archaeological and manuscript discoveries, fresh recommendations for further study, and an interview with the author that tells dramatic stories about the book’s impact, provides behind-the-scenes information, and responds to critiques of the book by skeptics. As The Case for Christ and its ancillary resources approach 10 million copies in print, this updated edition will prove even more valuable to contemporary readers.

Reading Your Lifes Story
$18.99Add to cartSpiritual mentoring is a particular kind of friendship in which, according to Keith R. Anderson, “two or more people walk together in heightened awareness of the presence of yet Another”-the Holy Spirit. “Spiritual mentoring is not a complicated process that requires technical training and complex protocol,” Anderson continues. “It is essential, authentic and maybe even natural human speech that is focused, disciplined and nurtured by training for one of the hardest natural things we do: listening reflectively to another. It is sacred companionship as life is lived and story told. Available to almost all, it requires deliberate recruitment, preparation and practice.” These pages unfold a vision for mentoring that invites us to read our own lives as narrative and to learn how to enter the narrative of another life. The book covers the scope of the mentoring relationship through various seasons, and it offers helpful and inspiring metaphors for mentoring. All are invited to enter the mentoring story.

In this Spirit-inspired teaching respected scholar and theologian R. T. Kendall uses Jesus’s parable of the ten virgins to describe the condition of the church in the last days.
Many Charismatics and Pentecostals assume that what we have seen in the one hundred years since Azusa Street is the final move of God before the Second Coming. Kendall explains that this is not so and reveals that a movement of the Holy Spirit, which is one hundred times greater than anything we have seen-indeed the greatest since Pentecost-is about to unfold.

Final Fire : Is The Next Great Awakening Right Around The Corner
$19.95Add to cartIn the midst of intense global societal discordpersecution, rights activism, racial tension, intense political hostility, and the resurgence of anti-establishment counterculturemany have lost faith in governments and even in church leadership to provide answers and stability.

Liked : Whose Approval Are You Living For
$14.99Add to cartThe purpose of life is to point to Jesus, not ourselves. We discover our best life possible when we passionately pursue God’s approval.
Deep down, we all want to be liked. We want to know, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that our life matters. So we look for ways to prove our importance and self-worth. We rely on numbers to tell us how we’re doing, how many followers we attract on social media, how many “likes” we get on a post, or how many parties we’re invited to.
But even when a new personal high is reached, the joy is temporary. It’s short-lived and fleeting. As our joy fades, self-doubt returns, and once again we feel that familiar urge to prove ourselves. We start a new quest to show we’re a Somebody because secretly, we fear we may be a Nobody.
Liked will help girls understand how to channel their talents and energies into things with eternal value and, in the process, find the love, friendships, confidence, and strength of character they desire. They will see that true identity is God-based, and that it is a pure and wonderful identity filled with Christ’s love.

NotesAdditional Info
The word spirituality is notoriously difficult to define. It is often used in a vague way to refer to the inner relationship between the self and God. The implication is that people only relate to God with their “inner” being (soul/spirit) and not with any other part of who they are.There is a lurking influence of Neoplatonism within Christian thinking that tends to assume that the material is bad and the spiritual good, that there is a gaping hole between our inner and our outer selves and that the proper location of devotion is our inner being. There is a further assumption that, especially in the writings of Paul, the soul is to be placed in the “good” category while opposite it, in the “bad” category, is the body-leaving the question of what is meant by heart and mind largely ignored.
Paula Gooder here explores the meaning of six key concepts in the Bible, especially in the writings of Paul, before moving on to explore what Paul intended by the contrasts he drew, and what implications this all has for the way we think and speak about our spirituality today.

What does it mean to have the Holy Spirit in our lives? Many look to extraordinary experiences and manifestations as evidence of the Spirit. But what happens when the event is over? How can we experience the Holy Spirit in the ordinary, everyday world? How can we be filled with the Spirit?In this material taken from Tozer’s sermons, he answers these questions and explores life in the Spirit from a balanced perspective. The church needs the gifts of the Spirit–all of them–or it will never be what God intends it to be. But this has to happen in wisdom and humility.Many people talk about being filled with the Holy Spirit, but very few accept the conditions for being filled. Tozer lays down the requirements for the Holy Spirit to come into our lives and transform us into Spirit-filled people. Though every Christian has the Holy Spirit, not every Christian is filled with the Holy Spirit. He explains the difference and how it could change the evangelical church of today. -

I Factor : How Building A Great Relationship With Yourself Is The Key To A
$16.99Add to cartPastor Van Moody, author of The People Factor, rips the veil of secrecy from people’s deepest and most intimate struggle-the one with themselves-and sets readers on the road to personal wholeness, security, and success. The fundamental question behind every struggle we face is this: How do I deal with myself? Van Moody calls this “the I-Factor,” the combination of dynamics that converge to form the totality of a person’s relationship with him- or herself. More than self-worth or self-respect, beyond character and perception of purpose, the I-Factor is about managing yourself-your whole life-well. And in this inspiring new book, Moody reveals how to get hold of the I-Factor. To win the battle with the I-Factor, a person must have a proper understanding of three dynamics: identity, significance, and perspective. When you understand your identity you know who you are, which is the foundation of everything. When you understand your significance, you get in touch with the purpose and the greatness for which you were created. And when you understand perspective, you can view the problems you face as stepping-stones to greatness instead of stumbling blocks. Weaving together personal stories, practical principles, and profound biblical truth, The I Factor provides readers with the key to achieving the life of greatness that they are destined for.

Devoted To God
$18.00Add to cartChristians are transformed by the renewing of their minds. They understand that in large measure how they think about the gospel will determine how they will live for God’s glory. They learn to allow the word of God to do its own work, informing and influencing the way they think in order to shape the way they live.
In a series of Scripture-enriched chapters Sinclair B. Ferguson’s Devoted to God works out this principle in detail. It provides what he describes as ‘blueprints for sanctification’-an orderly exposition of central New Testament passages on holiness. Devoted to God thus builds a strong and reliable structural framework for practical Christian living. It stresses the foundational importance of fundamental issues such as union with Christ, the rhythms of spiritual growth, the reality of spiritual conflict, and the role of God’s law. Here is a fresh approach to an always relevant subject, and a working manual to which the Christian can turn again and again for biblical instruction and spiritual direction.

Essential Guide To Deliverance
$13.99Add to cartPractical, Everyday Introduction to Deliverance for All Christians
For most Christians, the word deliverance often brings negative connotations to mind: lots of yelling and holy water and darkness–maybe even something from a Hollywood horror movie exorcism. But deliverance is not about shouting or showmanship. It is about the simple act of asking Jesus for help, for freedom, and using his authority over the enemy. In this accessible and practical guide, evangelical leader and bestselling author Larry Richards walks you through the who, what, when, where, why, and how of deliverance. In everyday language, he shows how you can apply this information to your life and the lives of your friends and family.As children of God, we have been given access to Jesus’ death-defying power to help free ourselves and others from evil. You don’t have to continue to struggle with persistent problems or strongholds. Your loved ones can be freed from the lies or addictions that hold them back. There is hope in Christ–you can live in freedom!Includes an extensive glossary of terms and appendixes with prayers and even more practical resources. -
What Do You Seek

Distinguished theologian Michael Buckley in this book meditates on fourteen key personal questions that Jesus asks in the Gospel of John – such questions as “What do you seek?” “Do you know what I have done to you?” “How can you believe?” “Do you take offense at this?” “Do you love me?” Readers will be challenged to new ways of thinking and living as they seek to follow Jesus.

How To Recover From Painful Losses
$9.99Add to cartThe realities of life is that it has its challenges and nobody is excluded from its vicissitude as Isaiah through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit prophesied (putting it succinctly) in Isaiah 43:2 “when (not ‘if’) you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned, nor shall the flame scorch you.” And King Nebuchadnezzar, it was in Daniel chapter 3 verse 24 who observed in practical terms what Isaiah prophesied. There is no accident in this life (i.e things just don’t happen), nothing happens without God knowing about it, He either directs or permits it (Matt. 10:29 & 30), hence the need to factor Him in, in whatsoever situations or circumstances you are expecting recovery from and this is what this book is about. The book is about how the Almightiness of God can be brought to bear on any given unpleasantries in your life and is, therefore, a must read, and a good resource tool for every sincere and serious minded Christian.

Meeting God In Scripture
$22.99Add to cartDo you struggle to connect with God in Scripture? It’s easy to get bogged down in the linguistic, cultural and historical details and to lose sight of the whole point: hearing the voice of Jesus speaking to us here and now. Lectio divina is a traditional Benedictine practice of Scripture reading that treats the Bible not as a text to be dissected, but as the living Word of God spoken anew to us. Experienced Bible teacher Jan Johnson has led lectio divina workshops for many years. Here she presents forty scriptural meditations, organized topically, with a view toward giving us the tools we need to practice lectio divina on our own. Each meditation can be used both individually or in group settings, and includes an introductory space of silence to help us relax and refocus, along with an optional preparatory question or exercise; the full text of a passage from Scripture with explanations of unusual or important words, and with cultural and historical background as needed; questions and cues to help us enter the text (and in narrative passages, prompts to help us vividly imagine how the action would have unfolded); space to contemplate the passage and to respond to God in prayer; space to simply rest in what God has said to us; and an exercise to “try on” one of the main ideas of the passage in our daily lives. Meeting God in Scripture moves us beyond merely understanding what the text meant in its original context to a direct spiritual encounter with Christ as he speaks to us in each passage. The method of Scripture reading modeled here offers to revitalize our understanding of Scripture permanently-even long after we’ve finished these particular meditations.

Falling Free : Rescued From The Life I Always Wanted
$19.99Add to cartShannan Martin had the best life she could imagine. She lived with her husband and three adorable kids in a cute little farmhouse on six rambling acres and had enough money, plenty of friends, a great church, and a safe, happy existence. Then the bottom dropped out when they lost their jobs and God called them to something radically different. Their world shifted to a small house on the other side of the urban tracks, an income on life support, failing local schools, and the county jail (where her husband is chaplain). And yet their plunge from “nice, safe, and happy” was the best thing that ever happened to them. Falling Free chronicles the Martin family’s pilgrimage from the faulty, me-centric wisdom of this world to the topsy-turvy life of God’s more being found in the less, challenging readers to rethink their own assumptions about faith and the good life. Anyone who yearns for something beyond status quo, middle-class Christianity but hesitates out of insecurity or safety concerns will find encouragement, food for thought, and practical guidance in this sweetly subversive book.

Language Of Love
$9.99Add to cartIt is very interesting to see people fall in love and then later fall out of love. Sometimes they fall out of love with the same intensity that they fell into love. Love is very powerful; it is a very strong feeling.
Love is shown or expressed both in the presence and the absence of someone. If you love your wife, tell her, help her in the kitchen and communicate with her. Tell her what you go through at work, church and family meetings.
Everybody wants to learn the language of love. You want to be able to communicate with the language of love. Different people respond differently at various levels to all of these. For some people, giving gifts is number one expression of love for them. For others, affirmation is number one. For still others, acts of service is number one. Although all these are expressions of love, different people respond differently.

God is not poverty-stricken, and He does not produce poverty-stricken children.

Yet, despite all these powerful promises, Christians don’t always know how to receive His provision. Now, from the inspirational writings of E. W. Kenyon and Don Gossett comes a book to help you excellently receive all that God has for you by daring to stand on the promises for financial blessing and success found in God’s Word.

*How confession leads to possession

Get Out Of Gods Way
$11.95Add to cartWe can become so constricted by liturgical rituals that we cannot love God in our own way. When we cannot live up to the impossible standards that have been placed on us by some denomination or faith group, we may start to feel bad about ourselves, and that only takes us farther and farther away from God. When we come to church to meet with like-minded individuals in search of spiritual reinforcement or support, human rules and regulations grafted on to religion often make us feel belittled, as if we are doing everything wrong. Rather than finding absolution from our sins, we are made to feel inadequate.
The message of Jesus Christ is a message of hope and love for all people. Scripture is beautifully written, and when we delve into it deeply, when we uncover its mysteries, that leads to enlightenment. As Christians, we are called on to imitate Christ. That is why it is so important that we closely study the words and actions of Jesus Christ–everything He did, every move He made, everything He said, and how He delivered it. Jesus only rarely became angry, but He was never hateful. That is God’s way. We will never be Christ, but we should try to imitate Him as closely as possible. However, when it comes to spirituality, we are our own worst enemies, constantly getting in God’s way. What we need to do more than anything else is to get out of God’s way.

Our Inner Struggle Untangled
$33.95Add to cartThe book is concerned with a deciphering process that enhances the texts of Revelation with data regarding the -End Times- of individuals rather than the -End Times- of the world. The deciphered texts do not usurp the original texts, but are dependent on them. The deciphering process is unique as it is a discovery of a process, not an invention of one. The work was like a cryptoquote where one letter stands for another; the difference is that one word stands for another. This book is for Adult Christians who seek a spiritual lift and want to -get back on the wagon- so to speak regarding their faith walk. And for those who would appreciate the spiritual jolt this book provides.
