Teachings For The Heart
$17.99Add to cartOne evening in the twentieth year of my life on this earth, God introduced Himself to me. It was personal, intimate, exciting, revealing, and a whole lot of other things that are just too hard to describe. It was wonderful! I needed to know more about this God and therefore reasoned I would need a religion that was also seeking after Him. The next thirty years were spent going from church to church and teacher to teacher, but never really getting any closer to my goal. I was led to start over, this time with the Holy Spirit as my exclusive guide and teacher. To keep myself organized, I started writing. I only documented what I knew in my heart was true. This is what I wrote. This is what I learned. This is how it begins. I humbly present these elementary teachings for the heart; a primer for spiritual growth.

Living The Extraordinary Life
$19.99Add to cartDr. Charles Stanley explores the non-negotiable life principles that should be reflected in the life of every Christian. To many in the world, the Christian faith is a set of rules and regulations. But Jesus himself did not teach his followers dos and don’ts; he taught them foundational principles to live by. “These life principles,” Charles Stanley says, “are the simple truths that act as a compass for our souls. All Christians must live them in order to fulfill their purpose and experience intimate relationship with Christ.” Using examples from his own personal experiences, Biblical personalities, and case studies, Dr. Stanley demonstrates how these key life principles impact life in the 21st century-and how they make us, as Christians, different from those who live their lives according to preference rather than principles. Each chapter offers additional online material, as well as criteria for how you can measure your own personal growth on each principle.

7 Things You Better Have Nailed Down Before All Hell Breaks Loose
$19.99Add to cartSteven Covey wrote, “The main thing is to keep the main thing the main thing.” For men and women searching for truth amidst the noise and clutter, this principle could never be more crucial. And while the church is tossed about by the same uncertainty, Robert Wolgemuth’s provocative 7 Things You Better Have Nailed Down Before All Hell Breaks Loose puts a stake in the ground and says, “Here’s something you can count on, no matter what.” In life you don’t rise to the level of your circumstances; you fall to the level of your training. This strong exposition of the foundations of the Christian faith brings a calm, clarity, and confidence to train those who need something certain to claim. The seven things are: 1. God Is God: the Creator-Holy, Sovereign, and Merciful2. The Bible Is God’s Word 3. Mankind Is Eternally Lost and in Need of a Savior 4. Jesus Christ Died to Redeem Mankind 5. Grace and Faith Are Gifts 6. Belief and Works Are One 7. The Church Is God’s Idea

God Of Second Chances
$20.00Add to cartThere is much in our culture that keeps us from staying on a path of religious faith and enlightenment: Creature comforts entice us away from the rigors of a materially simple and charitable life. Debates over pressing issues have lost whatever civil tone they once had. Our nation is simultaneously awash with multimillionaires and homeless children. Now, in particular, minister and psychotherapist Erik Kolbell believes we need a second chance. In this hopeful book, this insightful writer and caregiver looks back through Scripture and finds that it reveals a God of second chances. The Bible is rich with words like re-conciliation, re-demption, re-vival, and re-surrection, and Kolbell eloquently explores one re word in every chapter, each pointing to a well-recognized biblical theme that speaks in its own way to how, when our spirits are weary, God gives us a second chance to deepen our lives of faith. Drawing from a wealth of biblical and contemporary illustrations, Kolbell offers comforting guidance to all spiritual seekers who yearn to find their way back to the sufficiency of God s love and gain the wisdom to know what to respond in return. Includes questions for discussion or reflection.

So this book is meant to help us ‘be where He is likely to appear’ It represents the ‘fruits of many years’ daily conversation with God, often wrestling, sometimes resting, occasionally glorying, almost always – eventually – thanking’ There is material for the morning and evening of each day for a month, as well as for the seasons of the Christian year and for special times of joy and sorrow. While drawing on a wide range of Christian writers, almost all of the prayers were specially written for this book.

Unlimiting God : Increasing Your Capacity To Experience The Divine
$18.00Add to cartPeople have their limits. Some choose to ignore them.
God’s power and love have no limits. So why do Christians put limits on their relationship with Him? We could be pursuing greater knowledge, experiencing deeper intimacy, and abiding in freer joy… and yet we routinely settle for mediocrity in our spiritual lives.
But if you are ready to explode your self-imposed limits, Dr. Richard Blackaby can guide you through powerful and passionate insights revealed in this new book.
By contrasting mediocrity with the spirituality of the great “heroes of the faith,” Dr. Blackaby shows you that you need not settle for less than God intends for you. God can do extraordinary things through ordinary people like you…but only when you allow Him to enlarge your spiritual capacity and overcome your self-imposed limits.
“I hope this book inspires you to aim for a new level of walking with God. I want you to reach heights in your spiritual life that you never dreamed were possible, to experience God working through your life in a powerful new dimension, to hear words from God that will dramatically change your life and your world.

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

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

Crossing Your Jordan
$12.49Add to cartProduct Description
Every believer has a purpose that has been specifically created for their lives. The wilderness journey is designed as a training ground for crossing into that purpose. But so often we get HUNG. STRUCK in the wilderness somewhere between the Red Sea and the Jordan River. Stuck somewhere between the issues, the problems, and the power of our past, and the purpose, the calling, and the election of our future. Today, so many in the church are living in the wilderness. With an entire generation standing in the balance, and a need for spiritual direction, we stand in a place where we have grown content and complacent, unable to move and in a place of no purpose. But the wind of God’s Spirit is beginning to blow. Complacency is turning into a fresh hunger for goals, and contentment is turning into a yearning for something more, something better, something with a pursuit of purpose. If this is you, if this is your heart, than you are moving into a good place and have become a candidate for “Crossing Your Jordan.” Pastor Richard Giovannetti is the Senior Pastor of Standing In The Word Ministries with a BA in Theology. He is the Executive Producer of Fresh Fire Productions in Morris Illinois. His television program “Fresh Fire!” Flames of Revival is presently viewed across northern and central Illinois and parts of Wisconsin and Indiana on the Trinity Broadcasting Network and also across the entire continent of Africa on TBN-Africa.

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

Covenant : A Study Of Gods Extraordinary Love For You

This agreement united two individuals for a lifetime and meant that the most intense forms of friendship, loyalty, and sacrifice had been exchanged.

Silent God : Finding Him When You Cant Hear His Voice
$14.99Add to cartAs Christians, many of us experience times in our spiritual lives when it feels like God is silent. For reasons we don’t understand, we’re unable to sense His presence, feel His comfort, or hear His direction. And although we may be following Him as best we know, our spiritual lives feel dry and He seems more distant than ever.
In Silent God, Joseph Bentz addresses the pain and bewilderment many feel when they can’t hear God’s voice. He examines the possible influences that can unknowingly invade our lives and block our ability to hear God. Television, radio, iPods, cell phones, internet, email, traffic, and crowded schedules contribute to our noisy world. Every moment is bombarded by noise, both external and mental, that clutters our thoughts and causes us to lose the ability or desire to settle down and really commune with and listen to God. Bentz explains how the accumulation of all this noise can contribute to God’s silence in our lives and shares valuable and practical ways to control the noise so we can hear God once again. He also explores ways God may use silence as a means of working out His spiritual purposes in our lives. Bentz shows how sometimes our spiritual routines become spiritual comforts that, instead of pointing us to God, end up replacing Him. He offers insight and understanding for persevering through the silence and reassures us that doing so will result in essential spiritual growth and a deeper commitment to Christ.
Silent God reveals a new understanding of the mystery and power of God and shows how to find Him through the silence and emerge with a greater sense of purpose and a deeper connection with Christ and His love.

Standing On The Promises Or Sitting On The Premises (Student/Study Guide)
$17.99Add to cartJames W. Moore asks readers a series of challenging questions: Are you standing on the promises, or just sitting on the premises? Do you claim and embrace and celebrate the great promises of God that are underscored again and again in the Bible? Or do you sit lifelessly and listlessly on the remote edges of the church, responding halfheartedly to its message?
In this reissue of one of his best-selling titles, Moore reminds readers of the awesome promises of God that are found in the Bible. On page after page of the Scriptures, God gives generous and gracious promises that believers can claim and rely on. Moore shows that when people fail to lean on God and trust in those promises, they may open themselves to many frustrating, embarrassing, even painful experiences. However, when they truly “stand on the promises,” they can discover the richness and fullness that God intended for their lives.

There Is More To The Secret
$16.99Add to cartThe Law of Attraction contends that one can have any health, wealth or relationship desired if the mind is trained to put out continual thoughts to attract it into one’s life. Although there is some truth to the fact that we tend to become what we think (the apostle Paul taught us that), the new-age representation of “individual as God” is a dangerous contention. In this companion book to the current media storm, Ed Gungor seeks to establish a more complete and accurate representation of the power of the mind by explaining the obvious role that the Almighty God plays in our lives with the power of the Gospel. This book is not written to attack recent publications but rather to correct their misguided advice while still speaking to the felt need that is causing millions to explore their pages.

Build Your Walls Guard Your Gates
$17.49Add to cartThe book of Nehemiah is a great story that has much to teach us about courage, leadership, faithfulness to God’s call and more, but can it really speak to us about sexual purity?

By building your spiritual walls and guarding your eye, ear and mouth gates, you can overcome bondage to pornography and sexual sin.

Evangelism Without Additives
$18.00Add to cartWhat if evangelism meant just being yourself?
If the gospel really is good news, why do most Christians avoid evangelism? Why is witnessing often a negative experience, for both the sender and receiver? Wouldn’t it be great if you could communicate the good news without having to become a spiritual salesperson?
What if
*you didn’t have to make a speech in order to witness?
*you could use everyday experiences to nudge others closer to Jesus?
*the things you’re already doing counted as evangelism?Evangelism can be as normal as asking great questions and paying attention to the people Jesus misses most. It involves doing things you already do, but with a little more intentionality. Just by being yourself and becoming unusually interested in others, you can discover that people will ask you about Jesus.
This isn’t another program or pitch. It’s a handbook on how to make real connections with the people formerly known as lost.
Think of it as evangelism for the rest of us.

Disciple Making Church (Expanded)
$16.99Add to cartNewly updated and revised for 2007 with new Foreword by E. Stanley Ott, President of Vital Churches Institute. New cover design, resource list and index.
Christianity Today says “The Disciple Making Church is a call to evalutate the way we live and minister.”
The Christian Century magazine calls The Disciple Making Church “An excellent resource for pastors and congregations seeking to reclaim formation and discipleship as central to their life and purpose.”
This modern day classic helps congregations to transform program-oriented churches into disciple making churches.
The story of the transformation of a large suburban congregation from one relying on the latest and greatest new programming to a ministry dedicated to making disciples of Jesus.
Glenn McDonald was the busy pastor of a large and growing congregation in the suburbs of Indianapolis when, late one night, a single question launched a journey that changed every facet of life at Zionsville Presbyterian Church. As a lengthy board meeting was about to wrap up, a board member asked, “How long would it take for someone who visits our church to learn about his or her need for Jesus and to find out what to do about it?”
After a long and hollow silence, a profound transformation began. All “canned programs” for ministry???along with a focus on the “ABCs” of attendance, building and cash???went by the boards as everything about the church was examined in the light of Christ’s charge to “go forth and make disciples.”
The Disciple Making Church divides the transformation in two parts: Six Discipling Relationships and The Six Marks of a Disciple. McDonald weaves vivid scriptural insights and the wisdom of scholars with the experiences of his own congregation and others, and distills it all into one helpful, valuable, enjoyable book. His enthusiasm for the “exhilarating freedom” of the disciple’s life is infectious.
If you’ve ever wondered if the “busy-ness” of many of today’s churches isn’t what Christ was talking about, this book will have a lasting impact on you and your walk with the Lord.
