It empowers the reader with a Biblical perspective for financial decision-making and reveals the secret of contentment in an age of unprecedented-but often unfulfilling-wealth.

From Jesus to Joseph Goebbels (Hitler’s propaganda minister), the book uses Scripture, history, statistics and personal anecdotes to expose and expel a new tyrant-the Crown of Popular Culture.

How Would Jesus Vote
$18.99Add to cartHow your faith should inform your vote.
The 2008 election is shaping up to be one of the most important political contests in American history. In fact, Dr. D. James Kennedy believes it will be a watershed moment that could impact our very survival as a nation under God.
Values voters-people whose political views and votes are based on their faith in God-are being targeted as never before. As we move forward in the campaign season, the significant players will debate terrorism, radical Islam, nuclear threats, global warming, social issues, gay marriage, immigration, education, health care, and many other essential issues that can create sharp ideological divisions.
Into this overwhelmingly complex political situation, Dr. Kennedy and Jerry Newcombe bring a clear, compelling, and nonpartisan exploration of what God’s Word has to say on these critical matters. How Would Jesus Vote? isn’t intended to tell you which candidates to support; rather it offers you a Christ-centered understanding of the world to help you draw your own political conclusions.
This election, don’t cast an uninformed vote that fails to reflect your values. Instead, learn how to apply your faith and obedience to God to your ballot. This timely, helpful, and hopeful book will enable you to do just that.
Those who have a traditional Christian worldview are, frankly, different from other voters. Their worldview-their biblical faith-shapes every stand they take on the political issues that will determine our nation’s future.
That’s the kind of voter you are, or want to be. And that’s why How Would Jesus Vote? is so vitally important.
Issues you’ll explore in this book include:
* The polarization of Republican and Democratic parties: Does Christianity play a role?
* National defense and the military: Can war ever be biblically justified?
* Church and state and religious liberty: How far should faith influence governmental policy?
* Homosexuality, same-sex marriage, and gay adoption: Where should we draw the lines?
* Economics and the poor: Does the Bible teach socialism?Get a biblical consideration of such controversial issues with trustworthy guidance for determining how your faith will inform your vote.

Step By Step
$29.99Add to cartDaily Devotions for the whole family. For all who have begun with Genesis 1 on January 1st and found themselves hopelessly behind weeks, or even days, later – or for those who have a desire to read the Bible regularly but don’t know where to start – here is the perfect way to begin, or renew, the practice of daily Bible reading. Step by Step takes readers through an entire year of learning more about who God is and how we are called to follow him. Each day’s reading includes biblical texts, selected by theme, along with a short section explaining and applying the truths from the Bible and a prayer. Readers need only bring open hearts and minds to their daily time with God. Eddison’s notes are warm, personal, practical and encouraging. They draw examples and illustrations from history and from everyday life with the goal of encouraging Christians to live in obedience to Christ. The best commentary on Scripture, Eddison says in his Foreword, is Scripture itself. A particular strength of presenting Bible passages in this way is that readers can appreciate the larger biblical themes and God’s consistency and faithfulness throughout salvation history. Readers will see God’s unchanging message from the Old Testament to the New and his promises from Genesis all the way through to their ultimate fulfilment in Revelation. Perhaps now more than at any other time, Christians are bombarded at every turn with messages that seek to turn them from the costly path of obedience to Christ. Eddison’s desire is to see Christians everywhere strengthened, through daily time with God and in his Word, to run the race with perseverance.

Gathered Together
$16.99Add to cartNorberg understands the question asked by many Christians engaged in counseling, therapy, and 12-step groups: How can the church honor the individual’s profound experience of struggle and change? Is there any way to connect one’s unique and maybe not-so-holy journey with church tradition? Yes, she answers. The personal liturgy is a brilliant way to integrate the sacred struggles of inner work with the rituals of corporate worship. The resulting services for healing and wholeness are intimate, honest, and deeply transformative.
Norberg’s image of God as a compassionate healer is borne out in her theology of the “ad hoc church” – the congregation of close friends who participate with the celebrant in the personal liturgy. These services are faith in action – celebrants bury real hatchets, break forth from actual bondage, and pour gallons of cleansing waters. Norberg details over two dozen personal liturgies she has designed and led, honoring such events as finding one’s true vocation, recovering from illness, giving up false hopes, and receiving one’s first set of car keys.
Gathered Together is a wise, creative work that will prompt pastors to try new healing ministries and laypersons to ask more boldly for the needed bridge between personal journey and church life.

The surprise visitor patiently and kindly shows the gardener how to deal with the troubling issues of life while also teaching him how to perfectly care for his natural garden. The Master Gardener offers the humor and whimsy of an allegory, the insight of ageless wisdom, and the vivid symbolism of Christ’s love for us and His desire to be involved in every aspect of our lives. Laura Dahne and her husband Jim reside in South Florida where they enjoy doing ministry together. Laura’s passions are her family, photography and teaching on the magnificence of God. It has been said that she uses her pen to paint beautiful word masterpieces, much like an artist uses a brush. In addition to this work she has written several devotionals and currently authors a newsletter entitled, “The She Papers…The Passionate Ramblings of a Woman Crazy for God.” Laura knows first-hand the desperate need for inner healing and how our lives become transformed when Jesus is invited into our hurts and hearts.

Laura is currently ‘mulling over’ her next book, Broken Winged Eagles, a book on helping those who grieve. She can be contacted at TheShePapers@aol.com.

Hope And Healing For The Abused
$13.99Add to cartMany Christians carry the scars of their experiences of physical, verbal, racial, emotional, spiritual or sexual abuse. As a consequence their life is controlled by confusion and shame, and they go through life feeling rejected and fearful of further rejection.

They have experiences which they are trying to forget or don’t want to talk about but which, nevertheless, still influence their lives and hold them back from living the abundant life that Jesus came to bring.

Why Jesus Makes Me Nervous
$16.99Add to cartJesus offers grace and mercy but he’s also ratcheted up all the rules
Nice as it would be to frame Jesus as fun-loving, or a mercy-dispensing friend, the stories we have about him are a lot more disturbing than that.
We hear about celebrations that began as a wake, and about people who didn’t use their talents well being bounced clear out of the club. Jesus clearly thought that following the way of truth involved a lot more than simply avoiding things like murder, stealing, committing adultery or telling lies.
When Jesus truly makes you nervous, he is worth living and dying for, and becomes the greatest source of meaning and purpose in life imaginable.

Spirit And The Politics Of Disabablement
$29.00Add to cartIn this remarkable and incisive work, Sharon Betcher analyzes our world and God’s embodied presence in the light of her own disability and the insight it affords. She claims disablement as a site of powerful social and religious critique and reflection. With searing honesty, she reveals how our culture, only recently tolerant and supportive of disabled people, still fears them. The presence of disabled persons stands as a rebuke to our images of body and health, to the distorted values of our consumerist culture, and the globalized economy that embodies those values in unjust structures.
Yet, Betcher claims, disablement has also revealed powerful alternative understandings of the body and body politic, in Scripture, in the actions of Jesus, in the healing work of the Spirit at work in a broken world. Brimming with insight, Betcher’s work is a revelation and a bracing challenge to all Christians.

Better Than My Dreams
$18.99Add to cartThe story of everywoman’s emotional and spiritual journey, helping her release stored up false hopes and preconceived notions by replacing them with the wonderful reality God is weaving into her life.
Every morning we face the day with a set of expectations about how things will or should be. Author Paula Rinehart says, “The oddest part about our mental images is that we don’t know they are there until the video of our lives plays out in a different fashion.” Offering a radical shift in perspective, Paula guides readers to a fresh discovery that the story of our lives may look vastly different than what we anticipated-but that it’s a good thing.
Better Than My Dreams charts a course that enables a woman to jettison her old baggage and to discover that what God is creating might be better than she ever dreamed for herself, where fellowship with Christ, rather than fulfillment of dreams, is the real prize. This deeper awareness, that God knows what He’s doing with our lives, allows us to truly let go and enjoy the trip as we learn to live, love, and embrace whatever comes.
Better Than My Dreams helps women:
face their fear of disappointment
deal with life’s disturbing interruptions
own their own stuff
find the freedom to love difficult people -

When Goliath Doesnt Fall
$14.99Add to cartEven though the fig trees have no blossoms, and there are no grapes on the vines; even though the flocks die in the fields, and the cattle barns are empty, yet I will rejoice in the Lord! Habakkuk 3: 17-18
You’ve read the Bible stories of God’s amazing faithfulness. You’ve seen Him extend His blessings and healing to your family and friends. You’ve even experienced the sweet gift of answered prayer for other issues in your life. But sometimes, no matter how much you pray or cling to the victories of the past, your present problem remains depressingly unchanged with little hope for the future.
Most people understand and accept that life isn’t always fair; but it’s still difficult to get past the hurt and confusion of “why?” when you’ve prayed and trusted God to defeat an ugly giant in your life only to discover that the giant didn’t fall. How do you reconcile and rebuild your faith and hope in Christ when life is allowed to defeat you?
In When Goliath Doesn’t Fall, Jody Conrad pulls the mask of Christianity down and admits to the ugliness of real life. Sometimes, no matter how hard you pray, babies die. Sometimes, no matter how loyal you’ve been, your spouse abandons you. Houses catch on fire; tornados demolish entire communities; and terrorists successfully crash into buildings. How are we suppose to respond when Goliath doesn’t fall?
With compassion and understanding, Jody joins you in life’s trenches and tells you about a different kind of deliverance. She shows you the unconditional and strangely hopeful worship of Habakkuk’s heart and helps you discover how to cultivate a beautiful, wild faith that is still able to worship; still able to rejoice; still able to sing of the joys of heaven even with cancer in its lungs.

Heart Of Creation
$17.99Add to cartWe take it for granted that aspects of monastic life can sustain our daily lives in the world, but we owe this understanding to John Main, a Benedictine monk who pioneered the idea that the desert tradition of meditative or contemplative prayer, which had largely been forgotten in the West, was for all Christians. At his monastery in London he started teaching this way of prayer to lay groups and a network of meditation groups came into being, quickly spreading throughout the world and renewing a sense of the Church as a fellowship rooted in prayer and contemplative action. Bestselling books soon grew out of his talks. This simple, practical guide to ‘pure prayer’ teaches that by ceasing to struggle to find words and images by which we all too easily try to control God, we give God freedom to be himself in our hearts and we begin to pray with ‘the mind of Christ’, as St Paul teaches. In a nervous world saturated with image and endless self-commentary, this is a nourishing, life-giving stream of hope and refreshment.
