Whats New About You
$9.00Add to cartOlive Press Messianic (www.olivepresspublisher.com)
Not every new believer has a friend or mentor strong in the Lord who can walk alongside them in their new life. New believers have just made the most important decision in their life–to accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior–but perhaps they know little or nothing about the Christian faith, and Christians might be using words they don’t understand to tell them what is happening in their life. This booklet is like a mentor who explains it all using pertinent Scriptures and defining all Christian terms clearly. Then it gives suggestions of what to do next. It is a great booklet to have on hand to give out to new believers.

Sacrilege : Finding Life In The Unorthodox Ways Of Jesus
$17.00Add to cartIt is safe to say most Christians do not live like Jesus did, have the same influence on people he had, or draw even the slightest curiosity from the on-looking world. Jesus’s ability to woo people to him and win their hearts was directly related to how he challenged their assumptions about religion. He not only gave them a unique, personal way to follow him but also showed them how to participate with him in his mission.
Sacrilege helps readers rethink what it really means to become like Jesus. It exposes the patterns of thinking that have held the church hostage for years and inspires readers to rethink the way they understand Scripture, family, spiritual formation, conversion, church, sin, and more.

Christian Zombie Killers Handbook
$19.99Add to cartThe Christian Zombie Killers Handbook delivers a fresh, relevant look at the doctrines of sin, grace, and salvation. Ben Forman was just an ordinary guy, a young professional starting his first job and falling in love with his girlfriend. Living in the outskirts of a southern city, he didn’t think the zombie activity so common in the major cities would hit so close to home. But it was becoming clear that the mysterious infection reanimating the deceased was a growing epidemic across the country. The question was, would he stay alive or become the undead? In this one-of-kind approach to teaching about sin, grace, and salvation, The Christian Zombie Killers Handbook tracks the fictional life of Ben Forman and offers solid Bible teaching to help readers understand the gravity and consequences of life without God, of life as a zombie. Ephesians 2:4-5 says, “But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in our transgressions–it is by grace you have been saved.” Without the salvation Jesus offers, we are all as good as dead. But as this book teaches in a winsome, cutting-edge, culturally relevant style, anyone can kill the zombie inside, escape the clutches of the undead, and come alive by the supernatural power of God’s salvation.

Close Enough To Hear God Breathe

Dropping Your Rock
$9.99Add to cartRock-throwing is one way to settle hostilities or to exchange accusations. You can knock Goliath flat if your rock hits him in the right spot. Not bad, if your goal is to kill your enemy. You can express your moral outrage by joining the angry mob howling for a sinner to be stoned. But what if that sinner is your friend, and you would rather change their heart than shed their blood? We don’t have to hurl the rocks we clutch in our judgmental hands.
With tender words and touching photos, Nicole Johnson guides us toward the “flat thud of grace” that can change our lives when we drop our rocks and choose to love instead. This offering in the Faith/Hope/Love Trilogy by Nicole continues to be requested by audiences that saw her perform the dramatic sketch on the 2001 tour.

Deepest Thanks Deeper Apologies
$34.00Add to cartThis book is for those of us who have failed at being doubt-free but whose passion for God remains steadfast.

It’s for those who wonder at how our personal failures and uncertainties can make our faith mature–and yet who can believe that somehow these wrestlings also make our need for God complete. Combining candid reflections and insights from the author with rich reminders for every man and woman’s spiritual journey, Deepest Thanks, Deeper Apologies springs from a deep desire not to explain mystery, or to remove doubt, but to encourage mystery and raise doubt–for all who dare to be honest.

Grace Of God
$18.99Add to cart“Grace. It’s what we crave most when our guilt is exposed. It’s the very thing we are hesitant to extend when we are confronted with the guilt of others-especially when their guilt has robbed us of something we consider valuable.Therein is the struggle, the struggle for grace. It’s this struggle that makes grace more story than doctrine. It’s the struggle that reminds us that grace is bigger than compassion or forgiveness. That struggle is the context for both. When we are on the receiving end, grace is refreshing. When it is required of us, it is often disturbing. But when correctly applied, it seems to solve just about everything. This struggle is not new; it has been going on since the beginning.”-Andy Stanley
We find in the pages of Scripture that the stories found there often mirror our own stories, and that we too need the very thing we do not deserve: the grace of God. From the beginning, the church has had an uneasy relationship with grace. The gravitational pull is always toward graceless religion. The odd thing is that when you read the New Testament, the only thing Jesus stood against consistently was graceless religion. The only group he attacked relentlessly was graceless religious leaders. Even now as you think about grace, there might be a little voice in your head whispering, “It can’t be that easy!” “What about obedience?” “What about disobedience?” “What about repeated misbehavior?” “What about bad habits?” “What about justice?” “What about repentance?” It’s this tension that makes grace so slippery. But that’s the beauty and the truth of grace. We don’t deserve it. We can’t earn it. It can’t be qualified. But God gives it to us anyway because he loves us unconditionally. The story of grace is your story. And as you are about to discover grace plays a larger role than you imagine.

Resolution For Women
$14.99Add to cartWritten in partnership with Sherwood Pictures’ upcoming film, COURAGEOUS, in The Resolution for Women, popular speaker and author Priscilla Shirer challenges all women to be intentional about embracing and thriving in God’s beautiful and eternal calling on their lives.
Like the men in the movie who resolve to fully accept their responsibilities before God, Shirer explains how today’s women can and should live out their own resolution. It is “a defining banner that hangs over your life, written in the ink of your own choices.” A woman’s banner should be an accurate reflection of who she desires to be-someone completely Christ-centered who blesses and changes things in her world for the better.
The Resolution for Womeninspires women with intentional, spirit-filled living from three unique angles. Section one, entitled, “This Is Who I Am,” helps a woman define herself as “authentically me, purposefully feminine, surprisingly satisfied, and faithfully His.” Section two, “This Is What I Have,” invites her to value “my best, my blessing, my honor, and my heart.” And Section three, “This Is What Matters To Me,” focuses on joyfully honoring God as a wife, mother, and family member while resolving to live with the grace that leaves a godly legacy.The Resolution for Womenis designed to inspire a revolution.

Negotiating With God
$14.99Add to cartIntroduction
Part One: What We Negotiate About
Part Two: Identifying The Negotiators
Part Three: Overcoming Issues In Our Negotiations
Conclusion
EndnotesAdditional Info
Life is negotiation. Life is all about our interactions with others-family, friends, colleagues, and most significantly, God-on our way to greater understanding, cooperation and intimacy.From his informed perspectives on both faith and the law, Kevin Rachel-a Christian attorney-traces the often-neglected theme of negotiation throughout Scripture, exploring the many instances of men and women wrestling with the will of Almighty God. In his personal and appealing style, Kevin employs a first-rate storytelling ability to invite us into the lives of people determined to draw nearer to the God who, incredibly, welcomes us to the negotiating table. “Ask! Seek! Knock!” said God when he walked among us. “Explore my will! Communicate with me! Engage with me!”
Along the way, Negotiating with God asks us to examine more honestly many of our most fundamental and formative values: our assumptions about God, our prayer practices, our motives and behaviors in seeking resolution with one another, our uses of power, our understanding of Jesus our Mediator, and ultimately, our willingness to submit our wills to the Sovereign Lord of All.

Saving Desire : The Seduction Of Christian Theology
$22.99Add to cartTraditional Christian theology has generally treated desire as a dark and negative force intimately related to sin – something to be restricted and repressed, closeted and controlled. But, according to LeRon Shults and Jan-Olav Henriksen’s Saving Desire, we see only part of the picture if we do not also perceive that desire can be a powerful force for great good. Grounding their work firmly in the experiential realm of human life, the eight eminent theologians contributing to this volume celebrate together the positivity, the sociality, and the physicality of saving desire – that is, humankind’s innate desire not only for the “good life” but also, more vitally, for the life-transforming goodness of God.

With : Reimagining The Way You Relate To God
$19.99Add to cartInstead of life over, under, from, or even for God, what leads us into freedom and restoration is life with God. Why are American Christians, who have more access to biblical teaching than any other people in history, failing to experience the freedom of the Christian life? Why are pastors, those closest to the work and ministry, burning out at an alarming rate? Why do many church members, who give large amounts of their time and wealth to Christ and his kingdom, secretly question the legitimacy of their efforts? And why are spiritual seekers dismissing the validity of the Christian message? Is it possible we’ve misunderstood the call of the Christian life?
With explores the narrative of the Bible from Genesis to Revelation, and the stories of faithful women and men throughout history, to show that we were created to be with God, and that restoring this connection is his mission. When we neglect this calling in favor of a life over, under, or even for God, we will not know the freedom Christ intended. But a life lived in rich communion with God cultivates faith, hope, and love in a way that transforms both us and the broken world we inhabit.

Mirror Ball : Living Boldly And Shining Brightly For The Glory Of God
$12.99Add to cartWhen it comes to a life of mission and worship, it’s not about our own light and brilliance-we have none. But when we allow God to shine through us, we become a dazzling testimony to His radiance.
–Matt Redman, Mirror BallPassion is more than a song or a feeling. It’s a story of guts and glory, pain, and purpose. For anyone who follows Jesus, passion is a way of life. But how do we live out this grand calling?
In Mirror Ball, worship leader and songwriter Matt Redman reminds us that even when we feel insufficient to reflect God’s glory, God can show through us as light radiates through a prism. Living in this truth will transform how we view our words, our relationships, our daily lives.
You–and your world–will never be the same.

10 Things Jesus Never Said (Reprinted)
$17.00Add to cartToo often Christians carry a lot of guilt and baggage when it comes to their relationship with God. The problem is that so many of us believe unbiblical, damaging things about how critical God is and how fed up he must be with us. But many of the things we think Jesus would say to us–things like “I can’t believe you call yourself a Christian,” “If you really loved me, you’d try harder,” and “I’m so disappointed in you”–are things he never said. The solution, says Will Davis Jr., is to stop believing the lies and start believing the things Jesus did say.
In 10 Things Jesus Never Said, Davis unmasks commonly believed myths about our relationship with God and shows readers how to replace this pervasive theology of failure with the truth of how Jesus really feels about them. Discussion questions at the end of each chapter help small groups or individuals apply these truths to their current situations. Anyone who has ever felt that they didn’t measure up to God’s standards will love this freeing exploration of grace and forgiveness.

9. Invitation To Pray
10. Invitation To Remember
11. Invitation To The Most Excellent WayAdditional Info
Some invitations we desperately want: “Will you marry me?” “Would you consider a promotion?” Other invitations we never want to receive but must respond to all the same: “What treatment do you want for your tumor?” Invitations pound away at the coastlines of the soul with a transforming force. God is also sending invitations. Sometimes they seem less compelling than anything on my to-do list. Why would I want to say yes to the invitation to rest when I’m already so far behind? Why follow when I could lead? Why accept invitations to weep or to admit I am wrong or to wait? Saying yes might slow me down, sabotage my agenda and even undo who I think I am. Adele Calhoun, author of the popular Spiritual Disciplines Handbook, offers a book about invitations like these-divine invitations we miss or ignore because we’ve said yes to going with the cultural flow. While these invitations from God can sometimes be difficult to accept, they can heal and restore even as they shape where we go, what we do and who we become. What we say yes to, what we say no to forms the terrain of our future. Included in this book are reflection questions and exercises as well as overview charts with recommended disciplines to guide you through each theme. As you attend to the often hidden, quiet voice of the Great Inviter, you will find yourself as God created you to be. -

Take a casual survey of how people practice their faith, and you might reasonably conclude that Jesus spent his life going door to door offering private lessons, complete with chalkboard and pop quizzes. We think about God in the comfort of our own minds, in isolation from one another; meanwhile the world waits for a people to practice the way of Jesus together. Mark Scandrette contends that Jesus has in mind something more lively for us: not a classroom so much as a kingdom, where our formation takes place not only in our heads but in our hearts and our bodies, and in the company of one another, in a way that blesses the world we’ve been entrusted with. In Practicing the Way of Jesus Scandrette draws from his experience as a spiritual director and leader of an intentional community, as well as the best contemporary thinking on kingdom spirituality, to paint a picture of life lived together, in the way of Jesus–which is another way of saying life lived to the full. -
Grace The DNA Of GOD
$24.99Add to cartIn the midst of an explosion of interest about God’s grace, author and teacher Tony Cooke presents a most timely book, Grace, The DNA of God. This balanced and Biblically-based volume addresses grace as God’s character and nature toward us, as well as His actions on our behalf. It examines what the Bible really says about grace, what it is, and what it is not. You will gain insight through Scripture, the great hymns, and through writings of old what grace is, how it applies to our lives, and how grace works cooperatively with other attributes of God to make us into the people that He intends. Tony reveals five expressions of God’s grace, how to receive it, and how to avoid shortcircuiting its power in your life. He candidly addresses certain misconceptions and misapplications of grace, and provides a balanced look at a subject that is essential to the Christian walk.
Grace, The DNA of God includes a “Questions for Reflection and
Discussion” section at the end of each chapter to further benefit
your personal study, and to make it ideal for small-group study. -

WikiChurch : Making Discipleship Engaging Empowering And Viral
$14.99Add to cartMost Christians agree that discipleship is important, even essential for Christian maturity; few understand biblical principles and even fewer apply a biblical process when it comes to discipleship. Discipleship isn’t complicated, but it can at times be difficult. The difficulty lies in applying the following four principles to your specific context. Simply put, here’s how anyone-young or old, male or female, pastor or entrepreneur-can make disciples.
1. Engage culture and community-When Jesus told His original twelve to go and make disciples, they did not interpret His command to mean, “Find people who are already following Me and help them become better followers.” They interpreted His “great commission” to mean that they should go and find people who were not yet followers and help them know and follow Jesus. The starting line of the disciple-making process must be evangelism that engages both our community and culture.
2. Establish spiritual foundations-If we want our disciples to survive the storms of life, we must help them establish strong biblical foundations.
3. Equip believers to minister-The biblical job description for professional ministers is to equip the “non-pros” for ministry, then get out of their way.
4. Empower disciples to make disciples-Jesus expected all of His original disciples to make disciples. He empowered them, knowing they would make mistakes. Because Jesus expects all His disciples to make disciples, we must not only equip them, but we must also empower them. -

Let God Change Your Life
$14.99Add to cartEvangelist Greg Laurie calls all Christians back to radical New Testament living in his latest offering, Let God Change Your Life.
Imagine what it would have been like to be a follower of Jesus; first-century Christians walked away from their old lives just to be where He was. What they learned, sitting at His feet, was discipleship. And when His work on earth was done, first-century Christians took His words and example and spread out, teaching the gospel to everyone.
The good news is that we, too, can participate in this lifestyle. Laurie drills it down in three simple ideas: get to know Jesus, follow His plan for discipleship, and use it to tell others what we know. Laurie’s tone is clear, direct, and biblical.

Hungry For God
$18.99Add to cartIn your heart you feel the longing—an emptiness that can’t be satisfied by food, or friendships, or entertainment, or success, or anything this world can offer. Only God can fill the void. More than you know, you hunger for God. In Hungry for God, critically acclaimed author Margaret Feinberg puts you in touch with your desire for intimacy with your Creator and what it takes to find fulfillment.

Learning to hear God’s voice isn’t as much a destination as it is a journey, and if you travel far enough, you’ll find yourself abiding in the presence of God.
Passionate, honest, and filled with wisdom and inspiration, Hungry for God will help you cultivate the holy intimacy your spirit craves.

I Forgrace You
$16.00Add to cartMost of us are familiar with the golden rule: “Do unto others as you want them to do unto you.” And if people treat us well, we generally do the same in return. But what about when others hurt us? Jesus gives us an even higher calling: “Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you” (Luke 6:27-28). David Anderson shows us how we can extend extraordinary goodness to bless those who have hurt us. He presents the radical concept of “forgraceness”: grace beyond forgiveness. God empowers us not only to pardon real-life hurts, but to seek the good of others. When this happens, our relationships can experience amazing transformation and redemptive healing. We can’t do this on our own. We need God’s strength to take us to the next level. With God’s grace, we can go platinum.

War Of The Worlds
$14.99Add to cartAdrian Plass considers the pull of the spirit and of the flesh and how this often leads us to live compartmentalised lives. We allow God only into certain bits and suffer embarrassment when our compromised private lives and shiny public lives collide.
War of the Worlds is about spiritual warfare, maturity, prayer and the fear of true commitment. It’s a book that battles to reunite the secret world of what we are, with the public world of what we appear to be, in an outrageous and seriously funny advance into the no-man’s-land of genuine Christian engagement.
Adrian brings the Bible alive with rather unexpected soap opera characters; he introduces us to a God who is much more playful than we thought and asks questions such as: If doubt and insecurity are the elephants in the room, how do we deal with these huge creatures? How have we allowed so many herds of sacred cows to grow so large? True authenticity demands a major cull.

But God : The Two Words At The Heart Of The Gospel
$9.99Add to cartWhether from the pen of Moses, Paul, or other biblical authors, “But God” appears in various forms hundreds of times in the Bible. To understand these two words as they are used in Scripture is to understand the gospel. This book focuses on nine of the most important appearances of this key phrase, drawing in numerous other passages of Scripture and in the process unfolding the magnificent drama of God’s sovereign grace-from his mercy on Noah to our security in a resurrected Savior. Taken together, this collection of brief Bible expositions provides a big-picture overview of the consistent way in which God has chosen to save sinners. It has always been by his might, his power, his grace, and his initiative. James Montgomery Boice wrote that “If you understand those two words-‘but God’-they will save your soul. If you recall them daily and live by them, they will transform your life completely.”

Knowing Grace : Cultivating A Lifestyle Of Godliness
$22.00Add to cartWhy is it that our spiritual disciplines feel so dutiful and routine most of the time? We are called to delight in Him, to draw near and enjoy Him and yet that seems far from most of our realities. There are many fine written works describing the need, purpose, and methods of spiritual disciplines. Knowing Grace complements these by fostering and deepening the reader’s engagement with God through various means of grace. By using this terminology, “means of grace” a rightful emphasis is placed on God’s initiation, invitation, and empowering to engage with Him in ways that foster a greater sensitivity to His movements, stirrings, nudges and voice. By growing more familiar with being in His presence, one experiences more of His grace, moving us from duty to delight.

Conquering The Fear Of Failure
$17.99Add to cartThe fear of failure afflicts us all. It erodes faith, deflates courage, and prevents victorious living. But fear doesn’t have to haunt us anymore. In this newly repackaged edition of his popular book, best-selling author and beloved pastor Erwin W. Lutzer offers a healing alternative that releases Christians from attitudes of defeat. Using lessons from the life of Joshua, Lutzer teaches what Christians can do every day to see the promises of God fulfilled in their lives. From learning to listen to the right voice to living with a bad decision, from embracing the power of prayer to overcoming obstacles, this handbook will guide readers through the pitfalls of spiritual growth. “My prayer is that through studying Joshua we all will take one more giant step toward spiritual maturity,” writes Lutzer. “In the process we shall discover that God is all-powerful and worthy of our trust.” Written in the tone that made Lutzer a best-selling author of more than twenty books, Conquering the Fear of Failure shows readers how to focus on God and His promises, not upon circumstances or setbacks, so we may live a faith-filled, victorious life.

Unveiling Ancient Biblical Secrets
$16.99Add to cartAn alarming number of Christians have been fed the notion that our God is a mean and angry god. Nothing could be further from the truth. In fact, Larry Huch suggests that God’s eyes are constantly searching “to and fro throughout the whole earth” (2 Chronicles 16:9), looking for someone to heal, someone to bless, someone to prosper, and someone to favor.
In his new book, Unveiling Biblical Secrets, Huch reveals God’s ancient blessings for your life, such as:
” the hundredfold breakthrough in the parable of the seed
” the secret of prayer revealed in Jacob’s Ladder
” the protective power of the Mazzuzah
” Purim’s miracle for turning your life story around
” biblical faith for the last days
” God’s covenant of success
” God’s power multiplied in your life with the four cups of CommunionBy understanding and tapping into these timeless truths in the Torah, Christians can rediscover the destiny that God intends for His people. We were not meant to live lives of empty religious ritual. We were meant to be shining examples of God’s power, blessing, and favor!

Christian Atheist : Believing In God But Living As If He Doesnt Exist
$19.99Add to cartThe more I looked, the more I found Christian Atheists everywhere.’ Former Christian Atheist Craig Groeschel knows his subject all too well. After over a decade of successful ministry, he had to make a painful self admission: although he believed in God, he was leading his church like God didn’t exist. To Christians and non-Christians alike, to the churched and the unchurched, the journey leading up to Groeschel’s admission and the journey that follows—from his family and his upbringing to the lackluster and even diametrically opposed expressions of faith he encountered—will look and sound like the story of their own lives. Now the founding and senior pastor of the multicampus, pace-setting LifeChurch.tv, Groeschel’s personal journey toward a more authentic God-honoring life is more relevant than ever.
Christians and Christian Atheists everywhere will be nodding their heads as they are challenged to take their own honest moment and ask the question: am I putting my whole faith in God but still living as if everything was up to me?

Charitable Discourse : Talking About The Things That Divide Us
$15.99Add to cartHomosexuality, social drinking, and politics . . .Why is it so hard to talk about these topics and others like them in the church? What keeps us from having open and honest conversations about complex and controversial issues? The silence in the pews about these matters can be deafening. Often members say little, fearing disagreement and rebuttal, others strongly assert half-truths and biases. Nothing gets truly discussed, and many, especially the youth, become discouraged and leave.
A Charitable Discourse insightfully explores why this happens, looking closely at the ways people avoid and prevent authentic dialog, from labeling and grandstanding to religious abuse. Seven controversial issues are discussed with understanding, sincerity, and compassion.

From Dream To Destiny (Reprinted)
$14.99Add to cartDo Your Dreams Seem Out of Reach?If you have a dream, then you have a destiny. In his inspiring new book, From Dream to Destiny, Robert Morris prompts you to ask yourself, How do I travel from the dream to the destiny–and what happens on the way? Each of us is given a dream by God–it’s the notion that sets our hearts racing by the mere thought of it. Unfortunately, most people never see their dream come to pass, so they never fulfill the destiny that God has in store for them. Robert Morris tells readers exactly how to make their dream into the reality for which they long. Using the example of Joseph in the Old Testament, Pastor Robert shows how God gave Joseph a dream and then promptly took him through 10 character-building tests that lasted 13 years. These tests assessed Joseph’s strengths and weaknesses–from pride to purity–and they are the same tests that each of us must pass before God lets us realize our dream.Find out what the tests are and if you are passing or failing them, and get ready to begin fulfilling the destiny that God has in store for you.

Giant Killers
$16.99Add to cartThe motionless form of a giant of Gath lay face down on the battlefield of Shochoh and blood from his forehead seeped into the earth below his face. The great intimidator Goliath, champion of Philistia, lay motionless. His terrifying words had ceased. A smooth stone from a shepherd boy’s sling was embedded in his skull. Goliath was finished.
For the shepherd boy David, it was a giant-sized step into the awesome place of destiny that God had ordained for him. It was a step from obscurity and rejection to kingly dominion, fame and wealth, global and eternal influence. It was a step that was ultimately felt as Messiah took His place in history establishing His Kingdom on Earth. Like David, an army of giant killers has been prepared by God for this hour. Often with small flocks and in lonely places of isolation, rejection and insignificance, this body of men, women, boys and girls is receiving its training for the most fruitful, significant time ever planned for world history.
The giants we face are not going to destroy us. We are not their prey. They are ours. They are food for us. They are to be swallowed up by God’s anointed champions, by the mighty power indwelling us. They are “our breakfast”, strengthening our resolve to step up to each new day.
Giant Killers will empower YOU, the everyday believer as YOU take on the Giants that YOU face in life. Tim Hall is a dynamic evangelist who has a passion to see souls saved and lives changed by the power of the Holy Spirit.

Kingdom And The Cross
$16.00Add to cartIVP Print On Demand Title
We believe a lot of false narratives about the nature of God, things like “God helps those who help themselves”; “God blesses the righteous”; “God might not be out for your good, and you might be missing something.” But pastor and professor James Bryan Smith points us to the truth of who God is, revealed by Jesus: A God who loves to help the helpless. A God who doesn’t play favorites, whether righteous or unrighteous. A God who is, in his essence, self-sacrificing–even to death–to save a people he loves.

$17.00Add to cartWhat does it mean to be a holy person? The answer might surprise you. This delightful yet challenging book from spiritual director Albert Haase provides practical wisdom for becoming holy–right in the midst of “ordinary” life. “Any and every situation holds the grace for the transformation called holiness. . . . [By] imitating Christ and emptying myself for the benefit of another,” Haase writes, “I can become holy right where I am.” Haase guides us in this new way of living, offering practices that help us discern what God is calling us to in each moment, as well as clear direction for living in the Spirit, the source of our holiness. With brief, engaging chapters that share real stories of people who are living out holy transformation and short reflection questions, this book is designed to fit realistically into our already full lives. “I believe that holiness is not as elusive or impossible as most of us think,” Haase says. “That’s not to say it’s easy; it certainly is not. But I think there are many people in the world . . . who know that God calls them right where they are. Living in and guided by the Spirit, they imitate Jesus: they selflessly respond to God’s call in this sacred moment for the enrichment of others.” You can too. Here’s how.

It is questionable if one can ever be exactly the same person waking up on two consecutive days. How are spiritual sojourners to cope with the constant change? Many are beginning to explore the ancient Christian spiritual practices, such as fixed-hour prayer, fasting and sincere observance of the Sabbath. What is causing this hunger for deeper spirituality?
Brian McLaren guides us on this quest for an explanation of these spiritual practices, many of which go all the way back to Abraham and the establishment of Israel. In the midst of contemporary Christianity, we discover the beauty of these disciplines and the transformation through Christ that each can provide.
Includes foreword by Phyllis Tickle and leads into seven additional titles, The Ancient Practices, a classic series featuring some of the leading writers on spirituality in the world today.

Sacred Journey : The Ancient Practices
$18.99Add to cartHave Christians rejected pilgrimage?
The Israelites knew it. David knew it. The writer of Hebrews knew it. John Bunyan knew it. “Blessed are those whose strength is in You. They have set their hearts on pilgrimage.” (Psalm 84:5) We are strangers and pilgrims here. We’re passing through this world on a sacred journey to somewhere else. Charles Foster explores the approaching of each day as a pilgrimage-a chance to move one step closer to our ultimate goal and to even now experience tastes of that goal through prayerful awareness, study, and meditation.
Culling from his many journeys across the globe, Foster exhibits the very definition of pilgrimage: a journey to the most holy locations of our faith. This is at once both internal and external, and the author shows us how the two intersect.
A best-selling author and barrister in Oxford, Foster has spent much of his life testing the limits of human and spiritual endurance.

Tithing : Test Me In This
$12.99Add to cartStories of people who live a generous and happy life (and why you’ll want to live that way too.)
Journalist Douglas LeBlanc travels the nation to talk with believers whose lives have been enriched by the ancient spiritual discipline of tithing. He discovers people along the way who do not understand the practice as an onerous law but as God’s call to a life of generosity and compassion. The effect on their lives is dramatic.
LeBlanc talks with a variety of believers-from a pastor in the south side of Chicago to progressive Episcopalians, from an Orthodox rabbi to an Eastern Orthodox priest and his wife. By holding their gifts with open hands, they are drawn deeper into a life of joy and sharing that begins in the very heart of God.

Liturgical Year : The Spiraling Adventure Of The Spiritual Life
$18.99Add to cartA journey of the soul through the map of Christian time.The liturgical year, beginning on the first Sunday of Advent and carrying through the following November, is the year that sets out to attune the life of the Christian to the life of Jesus, the Christ.
What may at first seem to be simply an arbitrary arrangement of ancient holy days, or liturgical seasons, this book explains their essential relationship to one another and their ongoing meaning to us today. It is an excursion into life from the Christian perspective, from the viewpoint of those who set out not only to follow Jesus but to live and think as Jesus did.
And it proposes to help us to year after year immerse ourselves into the sense and substance of the Christian life until, eventually, we become what we say we are-followers of Jesus all the way to the heart of God. It is an adventure in human growth; it is an exercise in spiritual ripening.

Sabbath : The Ancient Practices
$18.99Add to cartTo rest does not mean to cease all activity.
Bestselling author Dan Allender presents an insightful and fascinating look at the origins and purpose of Sabbath. Serving as volume three in The Ancient Practices series, Sabbath examines the key issues of this oft-misunderstood day of the week.
This “day of delight” as instituted by God has become a dirge for millions of believers. For many, it is simply a break from the busyness of the work week. So, what keeps us from properly understanding, sanctifying, and celebrating this important day? Allender looks at not only the history of this discipline, going all the way back to ancient Israel, but also at the modern manifestations and misunderstandings of its practice. Allender bases his premise on the Hebrew word for rest, Menuha, which is best translated as “joyous repose, tranquility, or delight.” It is through this lens that he resurrects this lost definition of what it really means to rest.A volume in the eight book classic series, The Ancient Practices, with a foreword by Phyllis Tickle, General Editor.

Exodus From Hunger
$22.00Add to cartIt is within America’s technical and financial power to help end world hunger in our lifetime, if we set our hearts and minds to the task.
Contrary to what many people believe, the world has made measurable advancements against hunger and poverty over the last several decades. But too often the binding constraint on further progress is a simple lack of political will. As a result, one of the most powerful ways to affect change is often the most neglected–political activism.
In this powerful and hopeful book, David Beckmann, president of Bread for the World and a leading anti-hunger activist, looks at the causes of hunger, presents case studies of countries that have made great strides against it, and puts a human face on the problem by sharing stories of people who are, quite simply, hungry every day. The problems can seem overwhelming but Beckmann lays out a clear and workable plan for effectively using political channels to make great progress. He not only challenges us to get involved, he shows us how.
It is no less than our call to do so.

Surviving In An Angry World
$17.99Add to cartThe premise of this book is that learning to let go of anger-and ultimately forgiving the offender-will transform the foundation of every kind of relationship we have. Stanley defines anger as “a strong feeling of intense displeasure, hostility, or indignation as a result of a real or an imagined threat or insult, frustration, or injustice toward yourself or towards someone who’s very important to you.” Building on this defintion, Stanley…
1. Helps readers identify the signs of anger, so they can identify anger in themselves.
2. Reveals the far-reaching consequences of anger, which encompass the spiritual, emotional, and physical.
3. Teaches readers how to handle anger through thirteen concrete steps.
4. Walks readers through the steps to true forgiveness and the healing power it brings.
With compassion and a wealth of biblical understanding, Stanley explains that the measure of a person is “the size of thing that makes them angry.” He goes on to distinguish between healthy and harmful anger and reminds us that “righteous indignation” is a divine emotion. However, he skillfully explains that misguided anger eats away at ourselves, our relationships with others, and our relationship with God. By helping readers look honestly at the source of their anger, he gently leads them to the ability to truly forgive and find the peace they seek.

Holiness The Key To Revival
$15.99Add to cartThis book is to bring hope, encouragement and fresh vision to the Church.
It is for Christians who are:
* Frustrated – but believing.
* ‘Saved – but stuck’ (‘stuck’ in ‘the wilderness’).
* Forgiven – but not in victory.
* Disappointed, discouraged, disillusioned, doubting damaged, defeated and/or desperate.
* Hungry for more of God.For sincere Christians, holiness is usually an aspiration which is only vaguely dreamt about, but with no real concrete, proven direction to follow. Many of God’s people recognize that holiness is a commandment of God……but – how do we become holy and walk in holiness and, is it possible?
This book has the answer – based on the Word of God and testimonies of past saints who did walk in holiness and, through whose lives God was able to move, often bringing revival and thousands of souls to the Lord.
Lack of teaching on this vital doctrine of Experiential Sanctification is a major reason why the Church is not walking in holiness and victory. The lateness of the hour and days in which we live surely spur us on to seek our God with all our hearts, and cry, ‘Create in me a clean heart, O God’. ‘Holiness – the Key to Revival’ will enlighten and excite the believer to experience a more effective personal Christian Life.

Jesus You Cant Ignore
$19.99Add to cartBest-selling author John MacArthur gives readers a fresh look at how Jesus addressed attacks against the truth. Meek and mild. Politically correct. A great teacher. These are the popular depictions of Jesus. But they aren’t the complete picture. Maybe because it’s uncomfortable, or maybe because it’s inconvenient, Christians and non-Christians alike are overlooking the fierceness of the Savior and His passionate mission to make the gospel clear and bring people into the Kingdom of God. This mission required that he sometimes raise his voice and sometimes raise a whip. In the much-needed message in The Jesus You Can’t Ignore, renowned Bible teacher and best-selling author John MacArthur reintroduces the compelling and often unsettling passion of Jesus’ ministry. MacArthur points to the picture of the real Jesus the world is so eager to gloss over. And he calls readers to emulate Jesus’ commitment to further the kingdom by confronting lies and protecting the truth of God.
