Cost Of Being Anointed
$12.49Add to cart“I am delighted that an anointed, young man like Jamall Petty can stand not only as a testimony but also as a teacher to share his insights on “The Cost of Being Anointed”. I am pleased to be able to say that he is qualified both from the theoretical and experiential perspective to deal with this important topic, and he does a wonderful job of clarifying what for some could be a confusing issue.” – Bishop Neil C. Ellis – “There were times in my life when I felt as if God had set me up. There were times when God spoke to me and set the stage for me to speak what He had said to me, but the only thing I received as a result was reproach and rebuke. I wondered why God had instructed me on what to say knowing I would be beaten down for it. And God said to me, ‘I am breaking pride out of you, because you must hold a greater regard for my Word than for people’s opinion of you. You must be willing to sacrifice your reputation if you are to walk in obedience to me. “So all of us must understand that we are not called…” By reading this book you shall: Learn how to identify and safeguard yourself from the character flaws of walking in error as an anointed person in this prophetic age. Realize what the process between being anointed to do something and being appointed to do it is supposed to teach you.

Dreamality : Heavens Dream Your Reality
$15.99Add to cartSomewhere between childhood and adulthood, many of us let go of our dreams. We stop trusting that anything will be different. We stop hoping that anything could get better.

Bob Coy, senior pastor of the seventeen thousand member Calvary Chapel of Fort Lauderdale, believes that hope can be revived and we can rekindle in our heart the expectation of something more. Using the biblical story of Joseph as a recurring analogy, Coy looks to God as our dream-deliver as well as the source of our dreams. He asserts that, as we come to understand God’s heart toward us and the bigger picture of our lives, we can reclaim and live out our dreams.

Each chapter of In God We Trust, the last book written by Dr. Peale before he died in 1993, is full of positive, powerful aspirations.
“When problems confront you,” Dr. Peale says, “you must not allow your mind to acquiesce in defeat, weakly giving up. What seems impossible one minute becomes, through faith, possible the next.”

Becoming Human : Core Teachings Of Jesus
$14.95Add to cartChristians and non-Christians alike have long recognized that Jesus’ life was characterized by vibrancy, love, commitment, clarity, and joy. We all yearn to share in these traits, and by studying Jesus we can discern that he sees in us the potential to become as he was. After all, Jesus didn’t go around asking people to believe certain things about him-he invited them to follow him into the abundant life he wanted to share.
Brian C. Taylor focuses on the fresh, immediate, liberating quality of what Jesus had to say about life. “His guidance about how to live struck me to the core,” Taylor writes. Taylor’s succinct summations of what Jesus taught-Don’t worry; Love everybody; Help the poor; Become simple; Face into conflict; Change the world; Forgive yourself for being human, and so on-provide the basis for this series of reflections on the transformative wisdom that inspired those who had ears to hear to drop everything and follow him. Jesus continues to astonish and transform those who hear him, and Becoming Human is a deep well of wisdom for any who wish to give glory to God by becoming fully alive. -
Why : Trusting God When You Dont Understand
$14.99Add to cartAs the daughter of Billy and Ruth Bell Graham, Lotz, now a renowned speaker and author in her own right, has much for which to give thanks, and she knows it. Still, like any other person with a heartbeat, Lotz’s life has been riddled with times of desperation and heartrending sorrow. The author of Just Give Me Jesus and My Heart’s Cry openly reveals the struggle she’s endured in attempting to make sense of death, disease and suffering. Drawing upon John 11, she retells the story of sisters Mary and Martha and the death and eventual resurrection of their brother, Lazarus. Throughout this pithy, passionate book, Lotz eloquently imagines the emotional and spiritual agony Martha in particular endured while waiting for Jesus to intervene. Searching believers will gratefully grab the hope Lotz imparts as she reinforces a foundational scriptural truth: no matter the circumstance, and even when facing certain defeat, one can trust God because of who he is. Skeptics notwithstanding, Lotz treats this topic with the respect it deserves. She does not answer everyone’s “why’s,” nor does she offer pat answers to those who are hurting. Instead, she suggests to Christians that frequently pain is a requirement for our eventual good and God’s ultimate glory. Dedicated to “those who have unanswered prayers,” Lotz covers the scope of human suffering with prose that is sure to find its place among other classic works of faith.

Few experiences bring more pain than divorce. Like the death of a loved one, divorce plunges us into grief and loneliness, heartache and depression. Perhaps worst of all, divorce makes us believe that all that is meaningful and joyful has come to an end. Do not believe it.

Companions Of Christ
$35.99Add to cartAre you bogged down in your spiritual journey? Does church seem to hinder more than it helps? Here is a welcoming and realistic guide for all who may be feeling spiritually jaded. Whatever your circumstances, Companions of Christ will show you how to embark on a journey of the heart, starting wherever you happen to be and no matter how unfit for the journey you may feel.
In Companions of Christ popular British writer Margaret Silf unearths the gold mine of spiritual wisdom to be found in the legacy of Ignatius Loyola, founder of the Jesuits. Ignatian spirituality sets out an engagingly down-to-earth vision of connecting with God in everyday life. Neither a recipe for a privatized spiritual life nor an agenda imposed by someone else, the Ignatian vision is centered on companionship, which means literally to “share bread” with another. It latches onto God’s presence in stories, in other people, in the created universe, and even in God’s apparent absence.
Perfect for those whose faith in God or patience with the church is flagging, Companions of Christ contains very practical teaching on great Ignatian themes – imaginative scriptural meditation, spiritual discernment, and honest prayer. Incorporating helpful spiritual exercises throughout, Silf shows both tentative and seasoned believers how to keep faith despite the odds.

At the center of such prayer, Grenz argues, is the cry to God that his kingdom might come into the world.
Grenz explores key questions that many Christians ask: What does it mean to pray “according to God’s will”? Should we persist in petitioning God for our needs? Does prayer really influence God? In the process of addressing these questions, Grenz offers practical guidance on praying effectively and challenges the contemporary church to recapture what it means to be a church that prays.
Revised and completely rewritten, with the inclusion of additional material, and now featuring an insightful foreword by Eugene Peterson, Grenz’s Prayer: The Cry for the Kingdom will help readers from every Christian tradition to foster a richer personal and communal life of prayer.

Truth About Tolerance
$30.99Add to cartIVP Print On Demand Title
We all want to be tolerant. No one wants to be intolerant. But does that mean we have to accept all truth claims as true? Does this virtue rule out having any strongly held moral convictions? In this book Brad Stetson and Joseph G. Conti explore the use and misuse of this important value in academic circles and popular media. They note that the pursuit of truth and the pursuit of tolerance are often taken to be mutually exclusive, and it ends with truth having to give way to tolerance. Stetson and Conti argue just the opposite: that true tolerance requires the pursuit of truth. In the end they demonstrate that Christian conviction about religious truth provides the only secure basis for a tolerant society which promotes truth seeking. Christians can contribute to civil debate without compromising their moral and spiritual convictions.

Just Wondering Jesus
$21.95Add to cartWhat are the questions that are really on the minds of Christians as they try to live out their faith? Author Tom Ehrich challenged readers of his weekly newspaper column and his daily e-mail meditations to pose the questions that they would like to ask Jesus “from the roadside,” as blind Bartimaeus did in the gospel. He received hundreds of responses– not one of them about matters of liturgy, church politics, or canon law. Instead, the questions these ordinary Christians longed to ask Jesus were deeper and more basic: Will I see my late husband in heaven? How can I make my marriage more joyful? Will we ever find peace? What do you want of me? In Just Wondering, Jesus, Ehrich takes 100 of these questions and answers each in the form of a brief meditation/essay, and provides a fascinating glimpse of what is truly on people’s minds and in their hearts. The meditations, based on gospel readings, are valuable for personal devotion and small-group study. Tom Ehrich, a former reporter for The Wall Street Journal, is an Episcopal priest, as well as a writer, publisher, syndicated newspaper columnist, and business consultant.

Time Bandits
$9.99Add to cartWho Is Stealing Your Time? Each day, there are things you know you have to do. Then there are things you really ought to do, plus things you desperately want to do. But how do we find time for it all? Stuart Briscoe, former senior pastor of Elmbrook Church in Brookfield, Wisconsin, presents an outstanding commentary on evaluating our priorities so that the concerns of this world do not rob us of our valuable time. Prioritizing our lives isn’t easy, particularly when we consider the conflict that can arise between doing what is good and being comfortable, popular, and profitable. But Briscoe calls Christians to boldly address any areas of selfishness and to begin to see life through kingdom eyes. When we do, our priorities will change to focus on goodness, righteousness, and truth.
“But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness.”
–Jesus (Matthew 6:33 )
It sounds great in theory to seek God’s kingdom first, but is it really feasible? So many things rob your precious time that you wonder if you can afford to bump everything else in your life to secondary status.
But this is not about prioritizing. This is a matter of heart. While you long for harmony in your harried schedule and significance amidst the busyness, God yearns to give them to you. Stuart Briscoe’s insights will guide you to the focused, fulfilling life you long for. Because once you begin seeking the Lord before all else, all else simply falls into place.
What are you waiting for? You have no time to waste. -

In challenging, practical language, Dr. Crabb shows us how. This revised and updated edition now includes a full workbook for those who want to better learn how to connect with the hearts and souls of those around them.

Finding God : The Real Thing
$13.49Add to cartWhile hiking high in the mountains, trying to find the elusive and beautiful white mountain goat that I knew was there, low clouds appeared suddenly, totally obscuring my vision. Airplane pilots call it zero zero visibility. Not only is it impossible to find the quarry, but if you proceed in such conditions, you are also in danger of making a wrong choice of direction, leading to one of those precipitous drops so common in these mountains, jeopardizing all your future. The current hazy religious atmosphere is similar. A serious searcher for satisfaction, truth, and the right way is surrounded by false claims, foggy ideas, and contradictory instructions. He cannot see the right way because of the fog, and if he chooses wrong, it can lead in the end to disaster forever. But God has cleared away the clouds in His inspired Book. He is not the author of confusion. Come, look, and allow Him to direct your way. The reward is the abundant life that lasts for eternity. He is the One who loves you the most, knows you the best, and never makes a mistake.

10 Gospel Promises For Later Life (Large Type)
$13.99Add to cart“May you live to be 120!” This old Jewish birthday blessing leads to a question Jane Marie Thibault regularly asks attendees at her workshops and retreats: Would you accept the gift of 120 years with joy and gratefulness, or would your response depend on your circumstances?
As Thibault is now an older adult herself and has been working with older adults as a clinical gerontologist for nearly 30 years, she has been confronted by the challenge many older adults face in relating to the message of the Gospel in this later season of life.
The material for 10 Gospel Promises for Later Life emerged as Thibault began to explore questions spawned by this blessing and compiled a list of ten challenges aging presents and the fears that accompany these challenges: fear of being left alone at the end of life, fear of not being good enough to go to heaven, fear of being a burden to others, fear that there’s nothing to live for now that the best years are over, difficulty believing in an afterlife, regretting missed opportunities to use talents, fear that it’s too late to fix relationships, feeling unneeded, wishing life had been different, and fear of extended suffering.
Thibault then took these fears to the Gospel in a spirit of prayer and meditation. As she read she asked whether the Gospel speaks to the fears of aging, whether there is any good news in the “Good News” for older adults, and whether aging as a Christian is different from aging in secular society. The message she found is that Jesus offers the promise of abundant life to the older adult. Some of the Gospel promises that emerged were:
*We are the beloved children of God the good parent.
*We have a mission and purpose that is lifelong.
*As spiritual siblings, we are interdependent upon each other for mutual care and assistance.
*Powerlessness is powerful.
*All that is, is gift, and God will continue to provide for us.
*Forgiveness is offered to us, but it must be shared.
*Suffering can have meaning for ourselves and others.
*Renewal is necessary for life; it is never too late to grow in wisdom and grace.
*Death is not the end of life.
*We will never be left alone; Christ is with us always.In each chapter Thibault addresses a particular fear, giving an example of how it has affected the daily life of a person in a negative way. She then presents a response, a promise of the Gospel. After examining the promise and discussing how it provides a message of hope in later life, she p
