Cash Values
$17.50Add to cartFew would doubt the central role of money today. Money is the hub around which much of the modern world turns, particularly in those places impacted by capitalism. Given that Scripture frequently addresses the use and abuse of money, and notable figures in church tradition have also done so, it’s clear that the role of money in contemporary society is a subject that deserves serious Christian reflection. Enter Craig Gay. In this new book Gay incisively discusses the huge impact of money on personal and social life. Considering the insights of a number of classical and contemporary social theorists, Gay shows the duplicity of a monetary ethos: capitalism is without question the most productive economic system ever devised, yet the market system also fosters a subtle nihilism that tends to empty the world of substance and meaning. Gay’s analysis encourages readers to rediscover meanings and values that transcend “cash values”–higher values that can free us from the market economy’s grip on our culture.

Scandalous Freedom : The Radical Nature Of The Gospel
$18.99Add to cartA RADICAL FREEDOM
God has set us free – and at great cost – but many Christians live in self-imposed bondage. Rather than delighting in God’s lavish grace, they are fearful of igniting his displease.
As author Steve Brown explains in this brave, new book, too many Christians don’t trust freedom – for themselves or others. They prefer the security of manmade regulations to the adventure of freedom. The implications of freedom, Brown asserts, can sometimes be dangerous; but the alternative is deadly: a life without joy and void of celebration of our unique gifts in Christ.
Each riveting chapter explores a common freedom – stifling tendency, then opens the door to the fresh air of remedial liberty. Chapter titles include:
The Perfection We Desire. . .and the Forgiveness That Sets Us Free
The Masks We Wear. . .and the Authenticity That Sets Us Free
The Boldness We Fear. . .and the Courage That Sets Us Free
The Failure We Foster. . .and the Victory That Sets Us FreeDare to explore the joys of biblical freedom. Open the pages of this book and begin a journey that will set you free – really and truly and completely free.

Breaking Free From The Pack
$14.99Add to cartExcellence is defined as the state of going beyond what is average, normal, or expected. It draws from a Greek word, which means to “throw beyond,” as with a javelin or shot put.

Way Of Grace Participants Book (Student/Study Guide)
$12.99Add to cartGrace is a gift. Even before we recognize its need in our lives, God extends us favor.
This nine-week study in the Companions in Christ series explores the Gospel of John and, specifically, how divine grace is at work in our lives today, just as it was in the lives of biblical characters 2000 years ago.
“God’s grace comes to us in the distinctive shape of our personal histories, needs, and possibilities,” Indermark writes. “Yet divine grace also reveals the depths of what we share across all boundaries of time and place.”
Participants in this small-group study will explore the central stories of John, focusing on people who discovered God’s grace through their encounters with Jesus. This is more than a survey of the biblical stories of Andrew, Simon, Philip, and Nathaniel; Nicodemus; the Samaritan woman; the lame man; the woman caught in adultery; the blind man; Mary and Martha; and Simon Peter. The Way of Grace is a transforming interaction with the events and the characters, a chance to identify with what God provided for these people – a provision they could never achieve for themselves.
Groups new to Companions in Christ or to spiritual formation will find The Way of Grace to be a good introductory course. A leader’s guide is also available here.
If you long to open your heart to a deeper knowing of God’s grace – to recognize the “soul’s deep compass steering us Godward,” this is the study for you.

Your God Is Too Small
$22.00Add to cartIn Your God Is Too Small, J. B. Phillips explains that the trouble facing many of us today is that we have not found a God big enough for our modern needs. In a world where our experience of life has grown in myriad directions, and our mental horizons have been expanded to the point of bewilderment by world events and scientific discoveries, our ideas of God have remained largely static. It is nearly impossible, Phillips argues, for an adult to worship the conception of God that exists in the mind of a child of Sunday-school age, the “God-in-a-box” notion, limiting God to such inadequate conceptions as “Resident Policeman,” “Grand Old Man,” “Meek-and-Mild,” and “Managing Director.” As a result of these insufficient ideas of God, many people live with an inner dissatisfaction, without any faith at all.
Your God Is Too Small explores the ways in which we can find a truly meaningful and constructive God for ourselves, big enough to account for our current experience of life and big enough to command our highest admiration and respect.

Before God
$25.99Add to cartMany Christians today have experienced a loss of enormous significance – they no longer understand their daily lives to be lived “before God.” This timely work traces the development and implications of this loss and argues for its recovery.
In comparing contemporary Christians with believers of previous eras, author George Stroup sees an “eclipse” of life lived before God. This eclipse is tragic because the Bible presupposes human life as a daily, personal relationship with God. Stroup here offers help by exploring anew the biblical view that Jesus Christ models most clearly what life lived before God and neighbor looks like. He then suggests that describing Christian life as gratitude naturally evokes a sense of life lived before God. The book concludes by examining whether life before God requires a sense of God’s presence – and whether it is possible to live before God even in those times when he seems to be absent.

Hard To Believe Workbook (Workbook)
$19.99Add to cartThe popular perception of Jesus Christ is that of a tempered, genteel man who walked the earth, offering nuggets of wisdom to His followers.

In contrast to the superficiality of much modern Bible teaching, Dr. John MacArthur uncovers in this workbook the unvarnished truth of what Christ really taught. In simple, compelling terms, he spells out what is required of those who would follow Him. With provocative questions and exercises, he leads readers to a full understanding of the call of Christ.

Perfect Love : Understanding John Wesleys A Plain Account Of Christian Perf (Exp
$14.00Add to cartA Perfect Love is the full text of Wesley’s book. What makes this version unique is that the author has edited Wesley’s text and updated his language for the contemporary reader. Christian perfection is the doctrine that distinguishes Methodism from other Christian denominations. People who read and study this book will come away with a greater appreciation for this important doctrine. It will change their lives. It may even change their church.
A Perfect Love includes in-text definitions and notes that explain names and terms that may be unfamiliar to the reader. It also includes hymns by Charles Wesley that describe the work of grace in human lives that leads to perfection in love. In addition, Dr. Diana Hynson provides a study guide that may be used for individual or small group studies, and Dr. Marjorie Suchocki offers a careful theological and spiritual reflection on Wesley’s work.
Briefly, the term Christian perfection, as Wesley used and understood it, may be translated as “Christian maturity.” It is the process of “growing up” in the love of God and neighbor. It is “holiness of heart and life.” It is “having the same mind in you that was in Christ Jesus” (Philippians 2:5). Christian perfection is the goal of salvation; it is the outcome of a life lived with and for God in Jesus Christ in the power of the Holy Spirit.

The willing Man . . . who gave His life for others. The ordinary Man . . . who was, in fact, the extraordinary Son of God.
Behold . . . the Man. And ask yourself the only question that really matters: Why? Why would this innocent Man walk willingly and with unwavering determination toward such a grisly end? Why would He ever accept such undeserved mistreatment?
In this incredible, historically accurate account, you will come face to face with Jesus-the Man of Sorrows. If you’re honest, you’ll find the amazing answer to why . . . and you’ll change. When you stop long enough to look, to think, to imagine, and to truly Behold the Man, you’ll never be the same again.
Chuck Swindoll leads us through a detailed examination of the events surrounding Jesus as he follows the winding pathway of his passion to the cross. This story-based investigation of the last week of Jesus’s life-from the Last Supper to his death-focuses on “Why?” And in his Epilogue to this powerful, insightful book, Swindoll clearly explains to the unchurched and non-Christian reader why Jesus was willing to walk this sacrificial path to die-he did it for them.
Releasing simultaneously with Mel Gibson’s stirring movie The Passion of The Christ, Swindoll’s book provides Christians an excellent evangelistic follow-up tool to give to their unchurched or non-Christian friends and families who see the film. As Chuck said after a private viewing of the movie, “You’ll never be the same again.” And Behold . . . the Man will help ensure that fact.

Story Behind the Book
For nearly six years, Rich shared his thoughts about faith and life through his columns in Release magazine. When his first column was published in the spring of 1991, the editors introduced him this way: “Rich not only has a lot to say…he also has a unique way of saying it. And although Mr. Mullins could easily fit into that intellectual bohemian-type category (we’re sure he could hold his own in a discussion with any theologian or philosopher of old), most often, his message is a straightforward call back to the principles of faith. He’s a poet, a scholar, a gentleman, and yes, just a little bit off-center. But that’s why we like him, and are pleased to welcome Rich to Release with this regular column.
We trust you’ll love him and what he has to say as much as we do…” Rich had a way with words, and a collection of his writings seems an appropriate tribute to a man who has been referred to as “the greatest songwriter of our time.”

Additional Info
Covenant and Commandment at first seeks to establish that the heart of Hebrew faith and thought is a vision of God as one who makes covenants-with Israel, with all humankind, and, indeed, with the whole creation. As a covenant-maker, God binds himself through his promises. It is Israel’s conviction that God is the kind of God who makes promises and keeps them. This conviction, as Christian contends, has given creative power and shape to the whole of Hebrew and Christian history.As the books continues, C. W. Christian contends that the Hebrew law, especially that expression called the Ten Commandments, can best be understood as a joyful response to God’s covenant grace, a response that embraces every aspect of our being: community with God, with each other, and with God’s world. Each of the commandments is then examined to discover how it may provide guidance in living unto God and in human community.
Covenant and Commandment is ideal for either personal or group study on the nature and use of the Ten Commandments. A study guide with relevant questions is provided for reflection and discussion.

God Who Speaks Print On Demand Title
$25.99Add to cartA Print on Demand Title
As Christians we believe that God speaks – that God has spoken to people down through the centuries and still speaks to us today. But just how does God speak to us? Has his speech changed over time? And how do we “hear” the voce of God? In this insightful book Ben Campbell Johnson explores the subject of divine speech, highlighting its importance to faith and leading Christian believers into the practice of listening for God’s voice in daily life.
Johnson first explores the biblical foundations of divine communication, tracing the ways that God has spoken to humankind from the calling of Abraham, to the appearance of Jesus, to the continuing work of the Spirit in the early church. He then gleans important lessons about God’s language from a wide range of Christian figures throughout history – Polycarp, Julian of Norwich, Teresa of Avila, Henri Nouwen, and others.
As this historical record shows, God communicates with us in a variety of ways. In exploring these different modes of “GodSpeech,” Johnson deftly guides readers into the practice of “intensive listening,” a way of posing issues to God and discerning his response. Numerous anecdotes illuminate Johnson’s discussion, and each chapter ends with questions for reflection and discussion as well as suggestions for journaling. Johnson concludes the book by recounting a number of personal experiences that vividly illustrate the value of learning to listen to God’s voice.
At a time when many Christians hunger for a more personal, meaningful connection with God, this book shows readers how to discern divine language and forge a closer, richer relationship with “the God who speaks.”
