Overcoming Moral Failure
$11.95Add to cartHave you ever felt entrapped or snared by some bad behavior? Although what you’re doing feels good, deep in your heart you know it is wrong. Unable to escape the trap you’ve created for yourself, you feel as though there is no way out and no one to turn to for help.
In Overcoming Moral Failure: Picking Up the Pieces, author Gordon Froese helps you understand how you arrived where you are and what you need to do to find relief and recovery from a life that is broken. For believers in the God of the Bible, this message resonates with the truth of the Scriptures, while nonbelievers may find that the God of the Bible has an astounding amount of insight into the behavior and misbehavior of human beings. Froese offers insights based not only the results of research and study, but also on his own real-life moral failure and recovery.
This guide offers an open and frank discussion of moral failure and presents ways to recover from it. God can restore anyone who is willing to seek restoration God’s way; it can be a reality when there is true repentance and a willingness to do whatever it takes.

With honest, biblical reflections on trends in our culture and churches, he exposes our misconceptions regarding the concept of rest, as well as offering correction and practices to align our ideas with God’s ideal. The book includes reflection and discussion questions designed for both individual and group use.

Jesus A Pilgrimage
$17.99Add to cartJames Martin, SJ, gifted storyteller, editor at large of America magazine, popular media commentator, and New York Times bestselling author of The Jesuit Guide to (Almost) Everything, brings the Gospels to life in Jesus: A Pilgrimage and invites believers and seekers alike to experience Jesus through Scripture, prayer, and travel. — Combining the fascinating insights of historical Jesus studies with profound spiritual insights about the Christ of faith, Father Martin recreates the world of first-century Galilee and Judea to usher you into Jesus’ life and times and show readers how Jesus speaks to us today. Martin also brings together the most up-to-date Scripture scholarship, wise spiritual reflections, and lighthearted stories about traveling through the Holy Land with a fellow (and funny) Jesuit, visiting important sites in the life of Jesus of Nazareth. — The person at the heart of the Gospels can seem impossibly distant. Stories about his astonishing life and ministry–clever parables that upended everyone’s expectations, incredible healings that convinced even skeptics, nature miracles that dazzled the dumbstruck disciples–can seem far removed from our own daily lives, hard to understand, and at times irrelevant. But in Jesus you will come to know him as Father Martin knows him: Messiah and Savior, as well as friend and brother.

Adversity : But Theres Hope Ahead
$11.95Add to cartBenchmark Associates Inc
Is everything that happens really God’s will? All of us face adversity and usually wonder, “How am I supposed to handle this?” Some Christians think that, because they are children of the Sovereign King, God should remove it immediately. Others live in a deep sense of “Christian fatalism,” the belief that everything that happens is God’s will, and any form of adversity faced is God-ordained for teaching and strengthening . . . when in fact, the acceptance of adversity actually serves to perpetuate it. Using practical terms and application, “Adversity: But There’s Hope Ahead” tackles this by addressing:
the components of God’s original plan vs. Christian fatalism the types of adversities that exist biblically based responses to each type of adversity.
Unlock the true remedies available to all believers and release your adversities – it’s time to live in the wonder and awe of God’s Kingdom! -
10 Commandments : The Ten Commandments Are The Only Messages To Men That Go
$15.99Add to cartThe Ten Commandments are the only words that God wrote to man with His own hand. In fact, He wrote them out twice, and even spoke them aloud in the hearing of Israel.
In The Ten Commandments, Moody devotes a separate chapter to each commandment, with a concluding summary. His fervent belief was that the commandments are still God’s measure of obedience today. But they are more than a measuring stick; they are a signpost pointing fallen mankind toward the only One who was able to keep God’s law.
Moody’s teachings are still relevant to this day. His words still resonate just as they did in his large evangelical meetings where thousands of converts fell to their knees. He reminds us that Jesus came not to abolish the law but to fulfill it, and to become righteousness for all who believe.

Jezebels Puppets : Exposing The Agenda Of False Prophets
$15.99Add to cartMany charismatic Christians are familiar with the biblical character of Jezebel, yet they do not know the demonic spirit by that name that still wreaks havoc today. The Jezebel spirit characterizes anyone who acts in the same manner as Jezebel did, engaging in immorality, idolatry, false teaching and unrepentant sin. Its manifestations are conniving and destructive, dwelling in she who desires to have her way, no matter who is destroyed in the process.
You can’t defeat what you can’t see.
While most people are hyper-focused on Jezebel-and are basing their warfare on a misunderstanding of what Jezebel really is-fewer understand the workings of Jezebel’s demonic partners in crime. The spirit of Jezebel couldn’t execute all its wicked plots without the spirits of Ahab, the false prophets and the eunuchs. This book will fully expose this destructive team’s plan, teaching readers how to discern each spirit and defeat them!

True Discipleship With Study Guide (Reprinted)
$11.99Add to cartAm I ignitable?
A disciple can be forgiven if he does not have great mental ability or physical prowess. But he cannot be excused if he does not have zeal. If his heart is not aflame with a red-hot passion for the Saviour, he stands condemned. After all, Christians are followers of the One who said, “Zeal for Your house has eaten Me up” (John. 2:17). Their Saviour was consumed with a passion for God and for his interests. Those who are constrained by the love of Christ will count no sacrifice too great to make for Him.
“This book is an attempt to highlight some principles of New Testament discipleship. Some of us have seen these principles in the Word for years, but somehow concluded that they were too extreme and impractical for the complicated age in which we live. And so we surrendered to the chill of our spiritual environment. Then we met a group of young believers who set out to demonstrate that the Savior’s terms of discipleship are not only highly practical but that they are the only terms which will ever result in the evangelization of the world.
“To the extent that these truths are still beyond our own personal experience, we present them as the aspiration of our heart.” ~William MacDonald

Transforming Children Into Spiritual Champions (Reprinted)
$16.00Add to cartNo one can deny our culture is opposed to Christian values, and the influences bombarding our children’s moral development are difficult to contend with. But few parents and church leaders realize that a child’s moral development is set by the age of nine. It is therefore critical to start developing a child’s biblical worldview from the very earliest years of life.
The problem is complex: parents who themselves did not receive early spiritual training leave their children’s training to the church. Yet the church often focuses on older children. The answer is for churches to come alongside parents to provide them biblical worldview training, parenting information, and counseling that will equip them to help their children become the spiritually mature church of tomorrow. This helpful and hopeful book unpacks just how to develop this kind of dynamic church/parent relationship and includes profiles of churches that are effectively ministering to children and winning the war for their hearts and minds.

Conversion And Discipleship
$18.99Add to cartDiscipleship occurs when someone answers the call to learn from Jesus how to live his or her life-as though Jesus were living it. The end result is that the disciple becomes the kind of person who naturally does what Jesus did. How the church understands salvation and the gospel is the key to recovering a biblical theology of discipleship. Our doctrines of grace and salvation, in some cases, actually prevent us from creating an expectation that we are to be disciples of Jesus. A person can profess to be a Christian and yet still live under the impression that they don’t need to actually follow Jesus. Being a follower is seen as an optional add-on, not a requirement. It is a choice, not a demand. Being a Christian today has no connection with the biblical idea that we are formed into the image of Christ. In this ground-breaking new book, pastor and author Bill Hull shows why our existing models of evangelism and discipleship fail to actually produce followers of Jesus. He looks at the importance of recovering a robust view of the gospel and taking seriously the connection between conversion-answering the call to follow Jesus-and discipleship-living like the one we claim to follow.

Life Lessons From A Bad Quaker
$18.99Add to cartOn quick observation, the Quaker lifestyle boasts peace, solitude, and simplicity-qualities that are attractive to any believer of any denomination or religion. Yet living a life of faith is not as simple as it may look. In fact, it’s often characterized more by the stumbles than the grace.
“When someone asks me what kind of Christian I am,” says Quaker author J. Brent Bill, “I say I’m a bad one. I’ve got the belief part down pretty well, I think. It’s in the practice of my belief in everyday life where I often miss the mark.” In Life Lessons from a Bad Quaker, a self-professed non-expert on faith invites readers on a joyful exploration of the faith journey-perfection not required. With whimsy, humor, and wisdom, Bill shows readers how to put faith into practice to achieve a life that is soulfully still yet active, simple yet satisfying, peaceful yet strong.
For anyone who is bad at being good, this is an invitation to a pilgrimage toward a more meaningful and satisfying life . . . one step-or stumble-at a time.

He Speaks In The Silence
$18.99Add to cartHe Speaks in the Silence is the story of Diane Comer’s search for the kind of intimacy with God every woman longs for. It is a story of trying to be a good girl, of following the rules, of longing for a satisfaction that eludes us.
Disappointed with all Diane had been told was supposed to fulfill her, she begged God in desperation to give her more.
And He did. But first He took her through a trial so debilitating it almost destroyed what little faith she had.
He let her go deaf.
Like so many Christians, Diane thought she’d signed up for the “wonderful plan for your life” and deafness certainly didn’t fit her idea of a wonderful life. Yet in her brokenness, God met her and lifted her out of the pit of despair she was digging for herself. He lifted her onto the solid rock of real faith, and taught her to believe He is good even when life goes bad.
Using vivid parallels between her deafness and every woman’s struggle to hear God, this book reveals how Diane learned to listen to God, finding intimacy with her Savior and the soul deep satisfaction she longs for.

40 Days Of Decrease
$18.99Add to cart“What are you giving up for Lent?” we are asked. Our minds begin to whirl: Chocolate? Designer coffee? Social media? Forty days later, some feel disappointed in their efforts (it was a limited-time blend . . . ), some feel surprised by their success (didn’t even miss it . . . ), but perhaps precious few feel spiritually renewed.

Or could it be that before we can be duly awed by resurrection, we need to daily honor crucifixion?
40 Days of Decrease emphasizes a different type of fast. What if you or your church fasted comparison? What if your family fasted accumulation? What if your office fasted gossip?
40 Days of Decrease guides readers through a study of Jesus’ uncommon and uncomfortable call to abandon the world’s illusions, embrace His kingdom’s reality, and journey cross-ward and beyond.
Each daily, 1000-word entry will include:
*a devotional based on Jesus’ cross-ward life;
*a reflection question to guide journaling or group discussion;

Set Me On Fire
$12.99Add to cartWhat it means to be filled with the fire of God, as the believers were at Pentecost Most Christians have, deep within them, a hunger for a more authentic and fulfilling experience of God. Set Me on Fire examines what it means to be filled with the fire of God, as the believers were at Pentecost.
For over 20 years Malcolm Macdonald has been thinking about, studying, and teaching on this subject. Set Me On Fire is aimed at people who have a sense of spiritual hunger and desire for revival, but are not sure what this means, or how to get there. It uses the theme of the fire of God across scripture to paint a picture of what it looks like to be on fire for God. Author Malcolm Macdonald covers themes such as holiness, revival, mission, God’s presence, prayer, intimacy with God and suffering He helps readers to grasp the challenges of seeking to be a radical disciple, along the way offering personal reflections from his own journey.

Blood Bought World
$16.00Add to cartIf the Church is to rise up full of people who don’t give a damn about the fleeting pleasures of this life and who care only for the glory of Jesus and His Kingdom, we must once again grasp what made Jesus so immanently killable. If Jesus had been born in our day, the council that condemned Him would have included a couple of well-known evangelical pastors, a few outspoken pro-life leaders, a conservative- libertarian-leaning politician, and at least one Bible-thumping fundamentalist. Jesus was murdered by church people, for churchy reasons.
In Blood-Bought World, Toby Sumpter pinpoints the raw spots where modern-day Christians have allowed respectability, comfort, fear, love, fitness, authenticity, or other idols to become “fig leaves” to shield us from the Persons of the Trinity. We have relegated God to Sunday school presentations instead of following Jesus on the path to real authority and power: the cross.
God’s undiluted sovereignty demolishes every false human claim of autonomy. Men and women who know Jesus have no patience for a polite social club with religious jargon. The real Christian faith, delivered to the saints and driven by the Holy Spirit, is a wild, rambunctious, healing force set on the redemption of the world. That is what “being Christian” means: Hello, World! Jesus bought this place with His blood. Deal with it.

Giver And The Gift (Reprinted)
$10.00Add to cartCEO of Large Nonprofit Shares a New Approach to Fundraising
Over the past 10 years, Peter Greer has helped HOPE International increase private fundraising at an annual growth rate of 44 percent. Much of this is the result of a relational approach to fundraising, which stands in stark contrast to conventional wisdom in the field.
For many people, “fundraising” has become a dirty word. Conjuring images of guilt-inducing gimmickry, the predominant model saps the joy from both the donor and the receiver. It is time to dismantle certain shaky beliefs and practices, rediscovering a path that values the giver as much as the gift.
Co-written by David Weekley, the chairman of David Weekley Homes and one of America’s most influential philanthropists, this small book outlines a Kingdom perspective on fundraising in order to energize a new generation of generosity.

People To Be Loved
$18.99Add to cartChristians who are confused by the homosexuality debate raging in the US are looking for resources that are based solidly on a deep study of what Scripture says about the issue. In People to Be Loved, Preston Sprinkle challenges those on all sides of the debate to consider what the Bible says and how we should approach the topic of homosexuality in light of it. In a manner that appeals to a scholarly and lay-audience alike, Preston takes on difficult questions such as how should the church treat people struggling with same-sex attraction? Is same-sex attraction a product of biological or societal factors or both? How should the church think about larger cultural issues, such as gay marriage, gay pride, and whether intolerance over LGBT amounts to racism? How (or if) Christians should do business with LGBT persons and supportive companies? Simply saying that the Bible condemns homosexuality is not accurate, nor is it enough to end the debate. Those holding a traditional view still struggle to reconcile the Bible’s prohibition of same-sex attraction with the message of radical, unconditional grace. This book meets that need.

I Am Strong
$18.99Add to cartFor many, the Christian life looks like this: You call out to God. Your problems get worse. You suffer and wait. Nothing changes. Author John S. Dickerson knows the feeling. A rare health condition drove him to examine the Bible’s claim that “when I am weak, then I am strong.” As a journalist, Dickerson has seen severe human suffering.

Take The Risk
$18.99Add to cartNo risk, pay the cost. Know risk, reap the rewards. In our risk-avoidance culture, we place a high premium on safety. We insure our vacations. We check crash tests on cars. We extend the warranties on our appliances. But by insulating ourselves from the unknown-the risks of life-we miss the great adventure of living our lives to their full potential. Ben Carson spent his childhood as an at-risk child on the streets of Detroit, and today he takes daily risks in performing complex surgeries on the brain and the spinal cord. Now, offering inspiring personal examples, Dr. Carson invites us to embrace risk in our own lives. From a man whose life dramatically portrays the connection between great risks and greater successes, here are insights that will help you dispel your fear of risk so you can dream big, aim high, move with confidence, and reap rewards you’ve never imagined. By avoiding risk, are you also avoiding the full potential of your life? The surgery was as risky as anything Dr. Ben Carson had seen. The Bijani sisters-conjoined twins-shared part of a skull, brain tissue, and crucial blood flow. One or both of them could die during the operation. But the women wanted separate lives. And they were willing to accept the risk to reach the goal, even against the advice of their doctors. As a child on the dangerous streets of Detroit, and as a surgeon in operating theaters around the world, Dr. Ben Carson has learned all about risk-he faces it on a daily basis. Out of his perilous childhood, a world-class surgeon emerged precisely because of the risks Dr. Carson was willing to take. In his compelling new book, he examines our safety-at-all-costs culture and the meaning of risk and security in our lives. In our 21st-century world, we insulate ourselves with safety. We insure everything from vacations to cell phones. We go on low-cholesterol diets and buy low-risk mutual funds. But in the end, everyone faces risk, like the Bijani twins did with their brave decision. Even if our choices are not so dramatic or the outcome so heartbreaking, what does it mean if we back away instead of move forward? Have we so muffled our hearts and minds that we fail to reach for all that life can offer us—and all that we can offer life? Take the Risk guides the reader through an examination of risk, including:
*A short review of risk-taking in history,
*An assessment of the real costs and rewards of risk,
*Learning how to assess and accept risks, and

I Met God In Hell
$19.99Add to cartOn September 1, 2000, Tim Ehmann, a wild, thirty-five-year touring rock ‘n’ roll musician steeped in the underground entertainment industry overdosed from shooting too many successive speedballs of heroin and crack. He collapsed and died in his upstairs bedroom. Within moments he found himself in a place of inconceivable horror and absolute terror-at the very gates of hell. To his shock, Tim heard and saw many of the old friends he had played and partied with over the years who had previously died untimely deaths from those wild decades. In that moment, God met Tim in hell and pulled him up into His protective arms into the wonders of heaven. Tim was shown his calling and destiny, and resurrected seven hours later. “I was never asking or looking for God my entire life,” recounts Tim. “I never asked for any of this! God is the one who started this relationship with me-and He just wouldn’t leave me alone-no matter what I did!” This miracle-packed book reveals a God whose love proves so out of control that He continually chased and supernaturally protected a man bent on destruction through countless, surreal situations with no other possible explanation for his survival. Since that day, Tim, a highly gifted, prophetic seer, has been experiencing God face to face with ongoing heaven visits and explosive encounters, while being led on many dangerous and sometimes comical front-line adventures with God! Tim Ehmann has a unique friendship with God that is raw and intensely inciting to others, showing just how fun and exciting God and heaven can be!

Listening Life : Embracing Attentiveness In A World Of Distraction
$20.99Add to cart“Be quick to listen, slow to speak.” ?James 1:19 How would our lives change if we approached every experience with the intention of listening first? In this noisy, distracting world, it is difficult to truly hear. People talk past each other, eager to be heard but somehow deaf to what is being said. Listening is an essential skill for healthy relationships, both with God and with other people. But it is more than that: listening is a way of life. Adam McHugh places listening at the heart of our spirituality, our relationships and our mission in the world. God himself is the God who hears, and we too can learn to hear what God may be saying, through creation, through Scripture, through people. By cultivating a posture of listening, we become more attentive and engaged with those around us. Listening shapes us and equips us to be more attuned to people in pain and more able to minister to those in distress. Our lives are qualitatively different?indeed, better?when we become listeners. Heed the call to the listening life, and hear what God is doing in you and the world.

Uncontrolling Love Of God
$25.99Add to cartCan we say God is all-controlling if evil is genuine and randomness is real? If God is capable of controlling any situation or person and is both willing and able to stop evil from occurring, how do we make sense of the cruel and unpredictable realities of life? Should we say that suffering is necessary to build character? Are random events of death and destruction really “acts of God”? Some say that God is the cause of everything, which commits them to the view that nothing is truly random and every act of evil is part of God’s master plan. Others say that God is an impersonal force or a distant observer and so not truly involved in worldly events?but this comes at the price of a God who is personally involved in our lives and to whom we can pray. Still others say that God is sovereign but we cannot know how, because God is a mystery. This leaves us without an answer to our questions. Thomas Jay Oord argues that we need a new understanding of providence, one that can account for a world of both awful evil and awe-inspiring goodness. The Uncontrolling Love of God provides a clear and powerful response to one of the perennial challenges to Christian faith.

Angry Like Jesus
$29.00Add to cartFew people realize that the Gospels include at least fifteen different stories about Jesus’ anger. When was Jesus angry? What was He angry about? Is Jesus’ anger relevant today? Is it right for a Christian to be angry? Although sinful anger cannot achieve the righteousness of God, godly anger can rouse a sleeping church. Godly anger lights a flame that fuels people to wake up and be truthful out loud, so that many (who don’t expect it) can be healed. Godly anger is powerful. It’s an aspect of real love. It ushers in true hope because it knows that God is faithful. It dares to take a risk because it trusts that God has its back.
Without the salt of Jesus’ anger, people accept what’s unacceptable. We allow what we shouldn’t allow. We don’t make changes we should make. We deceive ourselves into thinking that corruption doesn’t need to be opposed. Godly anger is not afraid. It assumes responsibility. It motivates us to confront things we wish did not exist. Jesus’ anger is God’s gift to help deliver us.

4 Small Words
$14.99Add to cartWe live in a world addicted to sound bites. Technology has taught us how to say more with less. Text Messaging, Facebook Status Updates, and Twitter have conditioned us to pack meaning into 140 characters or less. So when it comes to a story as theologically thick, infinitely intriguing, and rich with history, metaphor and meaning as the Story of God, the thought of trying to understand or communicate that story can be overwhelming. But what if it weren’t as complicated or daunting as that? What if the essence of the Story of God could be told in just Four Small Words? What if those words could tell us more than we could ever imagine about God’s story and about our own? With the use of four simple words: Of, Between, With, and In, Stevens gives readers a clear and understandable way to grasp the big story of the Bible. We are “of” God – created by and of Him. Then something comes “between” us and God, and He finds a way to bridge that to keep us in relationship with Him. Jesus comes and lives “with” us, and the Holy Spirit is the miracle of God “in” us.
Sometimes the biggest ideas can be shared and revealed in a few small words. Stevens’ creative and fresh look at the story of the Bible will give new readers, as well as those who have grown up with this important book, new ways to understand the big picture of God’s word.
His Four Small Words will help every reader remember and follow what God was – and is – doing in the life of the world He created.

$17.00Add to cartA pastor with an unforgettable inside story shows evangelicals how to nurture healthy, respectful, and biblically informed relationships with people in the LGBT community
When Caleb Kaltenbach was a toddler, his parents divorced and independently pursued homosexual lifestyles.

To his enduring surprise, Caleb became a Christian-and a pastor-as a young adult.

Through revealing personal story, biblical teaching, and practical solutions, Caleb’s non-judgmental voice and life-tested counsel will appeal to a broad psychographic of evangelicals who understand that despite the good intentions of most on this issue, some Christians have done great harm and we desperately need constructive answers.

Rediscovering Discipleship : Making Jesus Final Words Our First Work
$22.99Add to cartDiscipleship is the buzzword today. Many believers are contemplating in a fresh way what it means to take the Great Commission seriously. Rediscovering Discipleship takes the guesswork out of Christian maturity.
Based on insights gained from a decade of personally making disciples, author and pastor Robby Gallaty tackles the two hindrances that keep believers from getting involved in making disciples: ignorance and uncertainty. Since many believers have never been personally disciple, they have no model to guide them in discipling others. Their ignorance of the process fuels their uncertainty, which leaves them crippled from the start. With simple principles that are easy to apply, Rediscovering Discipleship provides readers with the tools to follow the Great Commission-to go and actually make disciples who multiply and make disciples.
Gallaty begins with a brief historical overview of the discipleship ministries of influential theologians, preachers, and pastors from years past, and then identifies roadblocks that hinder believers from becoming disciples before offering a step-by-step process for readers to immediately get started on the path to effective disciple making.

Disappointment With God
$19.99Add to cartPhilip Yancey has a gift for articulating the knotty issues of faith. In Disappointment with God, he poses three questions that Christians wonder but seldom ask aloud: Is God unfair? Is he silent? Is he hidden? This insightful and deeply personal book points to the odd differences between our concept of God and the realities of life. Why, if God is so hungry for relationship with us, does he seem so distant? Why, if he cares for us, do bad things happen? What can we expect from him after all? Yancey answers these questions with clarity, depth, and biblical assurance. He takes us beyond the things that disillusion us and prevent us from experiencing a deeper faith, the certainty of God’s love, and the thirst to reach not just for what God gives, but for who he is. This edition of the book comes with study questions for every chapter.

Never Submit : Will The Extermination Of Christians Get Worse Before It Get
$19.95Add to cartChristians in the Middle East are fleeing their homes or dying at the hand of Islamists creating the very real possibility of a successful faith-based holocaust. The implications of such an outcome for the region and the world are stark: a very fanatical militarized Islamist region that soon might be armed with nuclear weapons to threaten the world with atomic terrorism and the same insidious conditions that promote Christian genocide there could spread to America. Reversing this very serious threat must be the top priority for Middle East governments and their populations, the so-called moderate Muslim world, Western governments already frightened by rising Islamist threats and a genuine global response by Christians to rise-up around a doctrine that combines moral, civic and Christian virtue as the guiding light of future political and Christian social action in the Middle East.There are plenty of clues in God’s word about the geopolitical clashes of culture and religion seen today and on close examination there are a host of indicators that suggest, yes, events are building to an apocalyptic crescendo. It appears that the last days are rapidly approaching.The evidence contained in NEVER SUBMIT ultimately demands a clarion call for people across the world to launch a campaign that not only saves Middle East Christians from genocide but also saves the rest of the world from Islamic extremists. That campaign is called “Never Submit,” a response to Islam defined as “submission” and to Islamists who give Middle East Christians three choices: leave, convert or die. The “Never Submit” campaign calls on Christian statesman across the world to rise up and lead fellow believers and the community of nations in a righteous way to eliminate the threat posed by Islamic extremism
