Step Stones : To The Second Greatest Commandment
$17.99Add to cartHe answered: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind’; and, ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.'” “You have answered correctly,” Jesus replied. “Do this and you will live.” Luke 10: 27-28
If you really keep the royal law found in Scripture, “Love your neighbor as yourself,” you are doing right. James 2: 8
I fear that Christians have gotten so caught up within our society that we have forgotten the first and second greatest commandments. In so doing we do ourselves more harm, yet it is our collective selfishness and stubbornness that keeps us from acknowledging that we are nothing without God. We are not doing right and I fear that many will not live. I also fear that many do not know what love is because we have misused the word so often. Step Stones is the path that God led me down when I needed to discover what love really is. My prayers are that it is not too late for our society; that Christians can be the ones leading us to a right standing so that we can we can be forgiven. We must first get back to the basics of what we are called to do. It all comes down to not what God can do for me, but what can I do to further the Kingdom of God. Only love true love will lead us out of this mess we are in.

About The WebsiteAdditional Info
In A Journey with Jesus, spiritual director Larry Warner guides us through the Spiritual Exercises of Saint Ignatius, similar to the way he’s been leading people through them in person. Here’s what he’s observed: “The Spiritual Exercises helped people reconnect with Jesus and with themselves in life-giving ways. It was powerful.” Ignatius wanted to help everyone, no matter what age or stage of life, experience Jesus. Through prayers and Scripture readings that largely focus on the life of Christ, the Spiritual Exercises that have been so powerful and growth-inducing for so many, including Warner, can be a tool for transformation in you as well. The exercises are designed to help you encounter the person of Jesusfoster a deeper relational knowing of Jesuscultivate a greater desire and freedom to say yes to Jesus And you don’t have to go on a retreat to do it. You can start now, and grow in Christlikeness right in the midst of your life. Are you hungry for Jesus? And ready to do something about it? Then this book is for you. Open these pages, and let Warner guide you on the journey toward deeper intimacy with Jesus. -
Pursuit Of The Holy
$15.99Add to cart“Be holy as I am holy,” says the Lord.
It’s the most extravagant-and audacious-invitation ever sent: Or in the words of Jesus: “Be perfect as your heavenly Father is perfect.” But can that really happen? Is holiness an achievable goal for sinful human beings? That’s the ultimate focus of this thoughtful, thorough, and engaging study of what it means to be holy. Drawing on the Bible and Christian thinkers through the ages, Simon Ponsonby affirms that because of God’s gracious love and desire for communion with us, he has done what is possible for us not only to pursue holiness, but to achieve it. While we can never count on attaining moral perfection in this life, we need not settle for less than increasing victory over sin. And as more and more Christians choose to partner with God in the ongoing process of sanctification, we set the stage for revival. -
Place For Weakness
$22.99Add to cartThe good news that God’s Word proclaims is a recipe to use in times of disaster. That is to say, it comes as a relevant announcement only to those who are in trouble for one reason or another. A Place for Weakness, formerly titled Too Good to Be True, by award-winning Michael Horton, calls for more realism in facing life’s challenges and a richer view of God and his purposes to match them.

Manual For Life
$28.99Add to cartEvery inventor writes the manual for the use of his invention. A car has an owner’s manual, written by the manufacturer. God the creator/inventor of the universe has written a Manual for His creation, the earth.
The irrefutable fact remains that people are either not reading or yielding to the Manual since as statistics indicate 80%-85% of the US population profess to be Christians. Despite the large number of believers, we have a huge disconnect between the practices of people and the ethos of the dictates of the Bible (The Manual). Disagreements on subjects like prayer in schools, debate on the death penalty, abortion, homosexuality and divorce exist when the manual is clear on these subjects.
This work makes the case that the reader obeys and uses the Word of God as the manual it ought to be. It is an authentic document proven by historical, prophetic, miracles and the life changing spiritual facts. It also looks at the major world religions, discussing how to use the manual and what not to do with it and invites people to come to life by the shed blood of Jesus.

Worship As It Is In Heaven (Reprinted)
$18.00Add to cartAccording to the Psalms, God is enthroned on the praises of His people–and it is from that throne that He governs the heavens and the earth. If this picture of God’s rule, found throughout the Scriptures, is accurate, shouldn’t the Body of Christ seek to praise the King of heaven and earth in ways that release His kingdom government into specific circumstances? John A. Dickson and Chuck D. Pierce, coauthors of Worship As It Is in Heaven, offer the church a fresh look at heaven’s pattern of worship, instituted in David’s tabernacle and renewed through Jesus’ apostles in the earliest days of the church. This “apostolic worship” is God’s chosen way of establishing His will on earth; through worship, the forces of darkness are pushed back and righteousness prevails. In Worship As It Is in Heaven, readers are invited to enter in to a fullness of worship that the world has too rarely seen: worship that is the conduit of God’s government of peace, justice, and holiness on the earth.

My Be Attitude
$16.99Add to cartOur society doesn’t teach us how to be, it just teaches us how to stay busy doing remakes and makeovers and going nowhere.

It shows how to better develop good character and grow in knowledge, wisdom, and understanding and ultimately define who you are in Christ.

Walking In Wide Places
$17.99Add to cartAnd I shall walk in a wide place, for I have sought your precepts. Psalm 119:45
If you are currently hemmed in and know the pain of feeling trapped, you are probably feeling drawn to this book. Christine Wyrtzen has a heart for you. Confinement has marked much of her life and she had no idea that spacious places, internally, could exist in the midst of crushing circumstances.
If you are intrigued and feel nudged to embark on this journey through Psalm 119, you have a powerful experience awaiting you. You will never look at the Torah again without praising its power and its beauty.
Right now, Jesus sees you in your pit of confinement. Whatever circumstances have fashioned your prison bars, He extends a hand to you. “Come on out,” He invites. “Live by the Word that comes out of my mouth. I will teach you to embrace my ways, and when you listen and follow me, you will know spacious places.” Deliverance from confinement always starts in the heart. The vistas of the kingdom are just around the corner.

Grace In The Shadow Of The Cross
$18.99Add to cartGrace in the Shadow of the Cross is a creative autobiography about how one little girl’s unspeakable abuse became one joyful woman’s testimony of healing. This true story is told in three voices: Ann’s first-hand experiences are described through the character of Grace (who begins with the name Prophet). Accompanying her voice are those of Father God and Deceiver. Father God speaks mainly through Scriptures but also through private prayer conversations actually experienced by Ann. Deceiver’s cruel voice will be all too familiar to abuse survivors.
This book is for those who have known abuse as well as those who love them. It is for the broken, the beaten, the humbled, and the humiliated. Ultimately, it’s a story of hope that will encourage you-no matter your past pain-that God loves you and desires to heal your heart.

In The House Of Grace
$23.99Add to cart…finding rest in The House of Grace
Ever wonder if you might be the only one that GOD couldn’t love because of some past sins you might’ve committed? I know I have…Paul expressed it this way: “Oh wretched man that I am who shall deliver me from the body of this death…?” The struggle to know whether or not HE wants to; can find rest in The House of Grace. A place where grace flows in the direction of the broken and contrite heart and saves to the uttermost. Wild grace abounds in our day and says you are entitled to prosper in the areas of self, health & wealth.
But is that true? Is it really all about prosperity and selfish glorification? If it is than why do Christians living in the “third world” exist in abject poverty, starvation and pestilence everyday? GOD’s love for them isn’t any different than it is for the Christians in the more affluent Nations, is it? In this book I hope to identify & answer some of these concerns from a biblical standpoint and show how you can prosper in just knowing the peace of GOD through grace, repentance, and forgiveness. Life & that more abundantly, begins “In The House of Grace…”

When Jesus Came Into My Room
$16.49Add to cartThis book is a charming story of a young child’s experience when he in 1960, together with his big family, immigrated to Canada – far away from their homeland Denmark.
We follow him from his early years, as he struggles to adapt to a new culture – all is written in a touching and moving way, but not without a stroke of humour as well.
It all leads up to the year of 1971 where his life took a completely and unexpected turn, beginning from that night in January when “Jesus Christ entered his room!”
The year turned out to be a year of divine visitation for the author.
This book is a great testimony about God’s love and his readiness to reveal himself even to those who don’t seek him.
“My faith in God has been strengthened greatly by reading this book. God is able to make himself known to persons, whether they seek him or not. Esben Rokholm is my co worker in the ministry in my country as well as my friend and my coach and I thank God for him! I can warmly recommend this book!

Unburdened : The Secret To Letting God Carry The Things That Weigh You Down
$16.99Add to cartTyndale House Print On Demand Title
In his Word, God promises us freedom from worry. Wouldn’t it be nice if we actually believed him? What would happen if you took the concerns that grip you, that keep you awake at night, that clench your stomach in knots . . . and truly handed them over to his keeping?
Like no other writer can do, best-selling author Chris Tiegreen opens your eyes and heart to a better, more weightless way to live. Unburdened won’t teach you how to avoid responsibility or hide from serious issues. Neither is it about how to escape and go live on a beach-though having a couple of palm trees around never hurts. It’s about taking the burdens you currently carry and making them much, much lighter. It’s about transferring the weight of your responsibilities from the weak shoulders of your flesh to the strong fingertips of God. It’s about learning to live in deep-down, heart-level freedom. And no one who reads Unburdened will walk away unchanged. -

In Rome in A.D. 165, two men named Carpus and Papylus stood before the proconsul of Pergamum, charged with the crime of being Christians. Not even torture could make them deny Christ, so they were burned alive. Is my faithfulness as strong? In the fifth century, Melania the Younger and her husband, Pinian, distributed their enormous wealth to the poor and intentionally practiced the discipline of renunciation. Could living more simply deepen my trust in God? In the sixteen hundreds, Philipp Jakob Spener’s love for the Word of God and his desire to help people apply the Bible to their life moved him to start “Colleges of Piety,” or small groups. In what ways could commitment to community make me more like Christ? The history of the church has shaped what our faith and practice are like today. It’s tempting to think that the way we do things now is best, but history also has much to teach us about what we’ve forgotten. In Water from a Deep Well, Gerald Sittser opens to us the rich history of spirituality, letting us gaze at the practices and stories of believers from the past who had the same thirst for God that we do today. As we see their deep faith through his vibrant narratives, we may discover that old ways can bring new life to our own spirituality. -

God Of Patience
$13.49Add to cartIt has been said that there can be no true faith where the will of God is hidden. Likewise, there can be no true faith where patience has not been demonstrated.

Practice Of The Presence Of God
$14.99Add to cartThe original guide to “practicing the presence of God”
“We must not grow weary of doing little things for the love of God, who looks not on the great size of the work, but on the love of it.”
In this classic work, which has instructed and inspired millions, a humble 17th-century monk reveals the secrets of daily, moment-by-moment fellowship with God.
“In the way of God, thoughts count very little,” writes Brother Lawrence, who spent much of his monastic life in the kitchen. “Love does it all.” Full of realistic honesty, friendliness, and simplicity, Brother Lawrence shows that it is possible to meet God amongst the pots and pans-in the ordinary, daily events of life. This edition, rendered from the original French into graceful, contemporary English, will nourish and delight all those who seek to practice the presence of God.

Passionate Pursuit Of Purity
$15.49Add to cartThe new buzz word of this decade seems to be the word change. Everyone is talking about change! We want changes in politics, changes in healthcare, changes in the policies of our financial institutions and changes in the laws that govern education.

Into His Presence
$16.49Add to cartSo What’s It All About?
Entering into His presence!
Now and ForeverNot always but often it seems, SUFFERING becomes the pathway leading to the highest awareness of God’s presence. I have, therefore, imagined characters who endure differing degrees of challenge, sadness, or suffering.
But I pray my readers will patiently read on past the sorrow, anticipating the vicarious joy of entering into His presence with Nick, or Matt, or Timmy, or the young guilty sinner-and with all the others!
No matter the intensity of the struggle, each character discovers powerful victory in this life’s journey or transitions into ultimate victory-into the King’s eternal presence.
Oh, to catch a glimpse of Him-for now and forever!
The greatest gift I have ever received is the apprehension of just one profound truth-that life everlasting and joy unending is available at no cost to us, for King Jesus paid it all.

Radical : Taking Back Your Faith From The American Dream
$11.25Add to cartIS JESUS WORTH THIS TO YOU?
“Do you believe that Jesus is worth abandoning everything for? Do you believe him enough to obey him and to follow him wherever he leads, even when the crowds in our culture–maybe even our churches–turn the other way?”
In Radical, David Platt invites you to encounter what Jesus actually said about being his disciple, and then obey what you have heard. He challenges you to consider with an open heart how we have manipulated a God-centered gospel to fit our human-centered preferences. With passionate storytelling and convicting biblical analysis, Platt calls into question a host of comfortable notions that are common among Christ’s followers today. Then he proposes a radical response: live the gospel in ways that are true, filled with promise, and ultimately world changing.

Final Approach : Why Did America Turn Against God
$13.49Add to cartIt is the purpose of this book to use Scripture, not an opinion, to implore Christians to carefully consider their actions now more than ever in their life-
People are unprepared for the end of the age because they have been fed teaching that is far from scriptural truth, for example:
Did God’s prophets challenge a ruler of the nation-or did they stay out of politics?
Future sins are forgiven? -Scripture versus popular opinion
Born again-Jesus expected Nicodemus to understand the concept, because it is from the Old Testament. Do you?
Can you name apostles that used a sinner’s prayer in the New Testament?
Does saying you repent meet God’s requirements for repentance?
Was baptism a Jewish concept? Or is it New Testament?
Does grace have any relationship to forgiveness?
Is faith a thought of the mind, or an action?
Scriptures are presented on these subjects with a way to have insight into their intended meanings-the words people usually miss are made bold to insure they are recognized. Through studying the Scriptures you will be able to research these and other questions like these, and draw your own conclusions. -

Best Investment Money Cant Buy
$14.99Add to cartThese messages were written from ideas that God gave me from a variety of settings. Some messages came from ideas I heard during church sermons, Christian broadcasting, crusades, reading books, events that have happened, my own personal experiences, the Bible, and a mission trip to Africa.
Key words or phrases would be said or read about during these different settings and then God would inspire me to write about what was heard or read. Some ideas came from personal experiences and then confirmed by other messages that were being preached. I write down almost every message that I hear preached at Church, or at the Crusades.
The final inspiration to write this book came from my circumstances at church. I had a lot of messages ready to preach, but was not having an opportunity to preach them. I was starting to get bitter and God inspired me to put these messages in a book and said the messages would reach a lot more people this way. I heard the call and did what God called me to do and now I am better not bitter.

Holy Spirit Is Not For Sale
$18.00Add to cartFor more than sixteen years, veteran journalist J. Lee Grady has kept a finger on the pulse of the charismatic and Pentecostal renewal, which restored the power of the Holy Spirit to the church, but which now suffers from abuse. Since many Spirit-empowered believers have lost their original focus and purity, Grady delves into some of the problems that plague churches and ministries: financial scandal, faulty theology, moral failure, and more.
Yet the message of this fervent journalist, who loves the gifts of the Spirit, isn’t one of condemnation and finger-pointing. Instead it is a clarion call to restore the fire of supernatural anointing with biblical boldness, purity, integrity, humility, truth, justice, and compassion. Grady longs for every believer to find or recover a genuine experience with the Holy Spirit.
Among the topics he addresses are:
* the genuine work of the Holy Spirit
* strategies for developing healthy leaders
* how to set up proper accountability structures
* why so many churches and ministries have imploded in recent yearsWith extraordinary insight, a keen eye for discernment, and a desire to see the church purified and believers empowered, Grady gives a straightforward and ultimately affirming message that will expose the problems and ignite believers with God’s fire.

James Bryan Smith believes we have bought into false notions of happiness and success. We find ourselves caught up in self-serving decisions that lead us further into the vices that cause ruin: anger, lust, lying, worry and judging. In this follow up to his first book, The Good and Beautiful God, Smith traces through the Sermon on the Mount and helps us look behind these sins to replace our false beliefs with Jesus’ naratives about life in the kingdom of God. -

Gods Nature Expressed Through His Names
$19.99Add to cartIn our modern day names are assigned to a newborn baby at random-either due to the popularity of a name, or to honour someone as a namesake-during Bible times the name given to a child stood for much and had a prominence about it that the names of individuals no longer carry. In this context, it is vitally important that as we study the Word of God and the meanings of His Names. Some people (even Born-Again Believers) only have a very surface-level/superficial concept of who God is. To some He is just Where/Who you go to when you need something and for others He is just a vague peace in a troubled world. But in reality He is so much more! Let me say this to you: If you are a Born-Again Believer, everything that defines each one of us is influenced by our perception of God. Let me hasten to say that outside of the Word of God and prayer we cannot effectively cooperate with the Nature of God and outside of this it is impossible to know the real Lord and God as He desires to be known. We must always be seeking to interact with God at a higher level. Fully seeking to know Him more intimately and in His entirety in order to become more like Him! Thereby giving us the ability to better express His Nature and represent His Kingdom much more effectively in the earth! This is done by the study of His Names. How awesome it would be when we encounter God’s Nature through the varied expressions of His Names. His Names give us reference and guidance as to how He works towards and in us as His people – and by extension to society! As a matter of fact it adds a whole new meaning to how you draw near to Him; and by this you can now begin to know His Ways because you have come into relationship with His Nature!

Holy Subversion : Allegiance To Christ In An Age Of Rivals
$20.00Add to cartChristians are too often guilty of pledging their allegiance to the influential principalities and powers of this age rather than to Christ alone. In Holy Subversion, Trevin Wax challenges such behavior by urging a return to the subversive lifestyle of the earliest Christians. Their proclamation and demonstration that “Jesus is Lord” directly opposed the Caesar worship of their day.
Today, Christians in the West must choose between Jesus and our “Caesars”: self, success, money, leisure, sex, power. What would it look like, asks Wax, if today’s church reclaimed the communal, subversive nature of the gospel, intentionally undermining all contenders for our devotion? How would the message that “Jesus is Lord” change our thinking about our jobs, our families, and our church participation? Here this gifted pastor-theologian offers help in taking our faith public, dethroning modern-day Caesars, honoring the Lordship of Christ, and understanding the church as the ultimate counterculture-an embodiment of Christ’s supremacy over all.

Breeding Ground : A New Life
$15.49Add to cartHow surprising it was to hear the Holy Spirit say to me, “This is your breeding ground,” while standing on the grounds of Harbor UCLA Medical Center in Torrance, California.
It was a place where my two sons had been born with complications. Little did I know that twenty years later my destiny would unfold between the perimeters of these same grounds. Unknowingly I had enrolled in the school of the Holy Spirit and HE would be my Instructor. I would also give birth here to a ministry which consisted among other things, of a healing ministry. These grounds where medical scholars receive training would also become the place of my training in the spiritual realm.
As you read this book you will become a part of these God-given classes that are given through divine revelations, while you gain knowledge regarding the five spiritual senses and their value. You can gain knowledge in your spiritual senses even in the absence of the five physical senses-such as in the story of “Baby O” who was believed to be born without any of his five physical senses. Then there is the revelation of the angels found in a hospital room that may have been instructors sent by the Holy Spirit. In sharing my experience you will also gain insight in such crucial areas as character development, ministry of intercession, and spiritual warfare. Your life will be transformed by the eye-openers given within these pages as they usher you into your own “breeding ground” experience!

Life In The Faith Lane
$23.99Add to cartHave you ever wondered what life must have been like for Abraham and Sarah? God called them to pick up and leave everything they knew to go to an unfamiliar place, to live a nomadic life, all the while being totally dependent on God for all their needs.

In Life in The Faith Lane, Jennifer shares her experiences of following her husband’s lead in the calling to leave everything behind and follow Jesus. Day by day as she and her family stepped out in faith, God met them in supernatural ways, taking them through many adventures, full of blessings and challenges, to teach them how personal God can truly be. On this journey, not only have their lives been deeply enriched, but they have received a glimpse of how powerful the Creator of the universe really is.

Righteousness : Is Not For Babies
$10.99Add to cartThis book was written and directs its content to Christian believers in Jesus Christ. Its purpose is to edify and exhort Christians everywhere the Lord would use it. The content and title is intended to fill the void of the un-learned, to teach those that hunger and thirst, and to awaken those that have fallen into their own works and their own righteousness. The title, Righteousness is not for Babies comes from Hebrews 5:13 where the scripture tells us if we are not skilled in the word of righteousness, we are babes. The book corrects and guides by the Scriptures to show that God is a God of order, and the process by which we grow in our faith. The main objective is to direct the Christian from their own righteousness into the righteousness of Christ Jesus. The righteousness of Christ will change human mentality and keep the Christian in the right perspective; we do because of who we are (in Him), not we are because we do.

Walking In The Will Of God
$16.99Add to cartThe success of Steve McVey’s books-beginning with the 225,000-selling Grace Walk-testifies to readers’ hunger to get free of performance-focused Christianity and rediscover the grace-filled, relational God of the Scriptures. The issue of God’s will confuses and frustrates many believers. Steve McVey helps and encourages them with key biblical principles:
Focusing on rules, Christians end up anxious, hesitant, and distant from their compassionate Father.
Focusing on God’s relationship with them, Christians will feel assured He is a Person to trust, not a formula to figure out. Believers can relax, knowing that God wants to guide them and has given them the life and mind of Christ.The result of the grace-based relationship? A bold, no-regrets life, lived in light of God’s complete dependability. This kind of life-the kind of life every Christian desires-is revealed in Walking in the Will of God.

Beyond All Measure
$15.99Add to cartThis book is about Jesus and His love for His children. It attempts to look at who we are, and how Christ relates to us in spite of who we are. Using the proper light of Scripture to view and expose ourselves, we are then enabled to see the glorious nature of His unconditional love for us. Thomas Watson rightly said, “Till sin be bitter, Christ will not be sweet.” My desire is that each of us would expand our view of Christ’s love for us. We have but a partial view of His incredible love, and so each of us needs to grow in our knowledge of it. This will be an eternal endeavor, and so I can think of very little that is more exciting than striving together to grow in the knowledge of the love of Christ. “Nothing binds me to my Lord like a strong belief in His changeless love.” – C.H. Spurgeon “We are never nearer Christ than when we find ourselves lost in a holy amazement at His unspeakable love.” – John Owen “Our Lord God must be a pious man to be able to love rascals.” – Martin Luther “He loved us not because we are lovable, but because He is love.” – C.S. Lewis
