Kidnapped By A Cult
$19.99Add to cartAs a founder of the China Gospel Fellowship, one of the largest underground churches in China comprising millions of believers, Pastor Shen Xiaoming knew the meaning of persecution. Time and again, while preaching and traveling throughout Tanghe County, Pastor Shen experienced deprivation, disease, and imprisonment for the sake of the incredible spread of the gospel.
But April 16, 2002, brought the persecution to a new level. Pastor Shen was kidnapped by the murderous Eastern Lightning cult after being lured into a supposed Bible conference. This dangerous cult believes that Christ returned in the form of a female Chinese leader in 1992, and they use force, torture, and indoctrination to convert others. For two months, Pastor Shen was held captive.
As Eastern Lightning slowly gains worldwide attention for their violence, Pastor Shen’s first-person account of his life and work in Tanghe County and his persevering stand against this murderous sect will both inspire and inform.

Simple Sayings And Thoughts For The Mind Heart And Soul
$42.95Add to cartWisdom, knowledge, and understanding are similar to finding a treasure chest full of diamonds and nuggets of gold. How can anyone not take advantage of such an abundance of wealth? In the midst of so much confusion, one needs to take the time to believe that there is wealth in the word of God and from his people to overcome such daily adversaries. We are challenged in our everyday lives, but may you take that first step of faith living for God and in helping others with love where there is failure. I know many books have been written with different opinions and advice by different writers about God and life. As the author of this book, I’ve tried to give some simple wisdom and understanding in so many areas of our lives, making it simple to understand-and, of course, with some sense of humor. As one who goes alone through the maze of life, sometimes it requires us to learn quickly in order to find the key to the cross. So where advice isn’t available, we are tempted, get off course, and learn the hard way, which gets more complicated if we become stubborn. Just like the whole armor of God protects every part of our spiritual and physical bodies, taking some good advice and motivation will help us progress as a child of God. For those who love to make things possible by taking advice, may this book help you to change your route and save you time. There are over six thousand thoughts of my personal sayings, which can be used as a text starter for a sermon or a conservation piece for inspiration. Please enjoy them; you’ve struck it rich with some great wisdom.-Joe Cervantes.

Heart Made Whole
$18.99Add to cartIn Heart Made Whole, Christa Black Gifford shares her own stories of loss, betrayal, and personal tragedy, chronicling clear steps to redemption to help those in pain invite the true Healer into the tangled mess of their broken hearts. Gifford reminds readers that pain is not their enemy, however, unhealed pain can become their greatest foe if it’s not taken to Jesus.
Growing up as a preacher’s kid, Gifford had been submerged in Christian culture for decades when she uncovered the truth–that there were broken parts of her heart that weren’t on friendly terms with the God who lived inside. Through disappointments and traumas, she had learned to guard her heart from God, keeping her angry, entrapped, and disconnected. As struggles and hardships continued, she finally learned to run towards her relationship with God when things got hard, instead of running away from Him like she had in the past. The more that she did this–building her heart’s capacity for intimacy and deep relationship–the more her heart began to heal from the inside-out. She teaches the reader to access the solution that’s already living inside of them–the God who forever made their heart a home. When trials and tragedy hit our lives in a fallen world, our hearts can get smashed to bits, and we end up putting God on trial and blaming Him for the mess. But Christa helps readers understand that they don’t have to live controlled by their circumstances – or angry with God. Instead, she provides powerful insight and practical steps to turn the painful fire that comes to destroy us into an unexpected friend that can produce our greatest healing. The condition of the heart determines the condition of life-and the heart can be bound up and healed, producing freedom and abundant life. With personal workbook sections for each chapter Christa helps readers experience steps to turn their pain into the healing and wholeness available to every believer. -

Saving My Assassin: One Woman’s Stand against an Evil Empire is the unbelievable, true story of a living heroine of the faith.
Virginia Prodan’s compelling story of courage in the face of intimidation and even death on behalf of others is a testament to her unwavering faith in a God who delivers. Exiled from Romania since 1988, Virginia frequently shares her story as a keynote speaker in large public forums–including public and private schools and universities–and has been featured prominently in media reports. She was the focus of a full-length documentary and has been interviewed by Fox News, Heritage Foundation, The Daily Signal, WFAA-TV Channel 8, Dallas Morning News, Fox-TV 4, BBC Radio, The Daily Signal, Heritage Action for America, Glenn Beck, KCBI-Dallas 90.9, and the Christian Science Monitor.
Virginia is a naturalized American citizen and a single mother of two daughters and a son. Her first daughter is a graduate of SMU and is a professional counselor; her second daughter is a graduate of Harvard Law School and is a practicing attorney; and her son is a graduate of the US Air Force Academy, currently serving as a U.S.Airforce – Captain – helicopter rescue pilot.
Today, Virginia Prodan resides in Dallas, Texas, where she enjoys practicing law, writing, opera, swimming, the symphony, and traveling for pleasure. She also enjoys her numerous speaking engagements, where she continues to inspire and impact lives with her incredible true-life story.

Silent Journey : A True Adoption Miracle
$11.95Add to cart“I don’t have any idea what we are doing, where we are going, or if what we are doing is the right thing. I’m just trusting that God will take care of things from this point on.”
With those words, Steve and Edwina Champion went to see their daughter for the first time on a cold, gray, winter day in Ukraine. They had never before flown on an airplane when they left their North Carolina home for a country where everything-the language, the food, even the toilet paper-was unfamiliar, and finding a simple can opener was nothing short of miraculous. After many frustrating days of being cooped up in a drab, soulless apartment, they were about to meet Lillyann, the little girl of their dreams.
This is the story of one couple’s experience of adopting a child from a foreign country-a child that not only had developmental delays but was deaf. Most of all, it is a story about God’s hand in the lives of everyday people. Adopting Lillyann led Steve and Edwina back to the Lord and made crystal-clear the importance of a loving church family.
Although they have since experienced numerous heartaches and trials, the Champions’ conviction that God always intended for Lillyann to be their daughter has never wavered, and their love for her has only deepened. Edwina’s letters to Lillyann capture the couple’s anticipation, anxiety, and joy with a freshness and poignancy that will touch your heart.

In looking back, a long path of travel was unfolding. Steps of fear and a small faith had been led, while dancing sugarplums now stood to attention. Life is a one- time chance to soar, a journey meant for purpose. The simplicity of a child’s fable and the most treacherous of life’s storms, what could they have in common, a famous racehorse, a fireman, a wooden puppet, an old scrooge, a Ghost, a banker, a king and four dysfunctional friends on a path? They all carried a depth of truth that in later life would reveal the mystery to a Magnificent Adventure.

Michael Jackson Speaks From Heaven
$12.99Add to cart17 Chapters
Additional Info
Did you know that it is possible to visit heaven and see who is living up there? Do you know that if you have a great relationship with Jesus, and if God has a purpose for it, that people who are living in heaven can come down to earth and visit you and spend time with you? One day, while Matthew watched a documentary called “This Is It” by Michael Jackson, Michael appeared to him. He proceeded to sing the songs on the film and dance in the room with Matthew. Soon, through multiple visits, Matthew grew to know Michael fairly well. In April 2016, Michael got Matthew out of bed and with the help of God’s Spirit, did a three-hour interview with Matthew. It was a divine revelation of heaven and more. Why don’t you read this message and spend some time to see what Michael has to say about: What heaven is like What he is doing up there What Jesus is really like The keys to a happy life and What true love looks like. Jesus wants you to read this message, and Michael wants to speak to you, so what are you waiting for?” -
You Dont Have To Be Poor
$16.99Add to cartYou Don’t Have to be Poor”” is a book addressing perhaps the most important component of life for the individual or family. Financial security or the lack thereof is the main factor in the breakdown of families, affecting both mental and physical health. It is not a simple manual on how to become wealthy. It is not just a manual of merely preparing a budget designed to lift the reader from poverty. The theoretical basis of building wealth from a Biblical and a commonsense approach to provide financial guidance is found in this book. Those who don’t have a theoretical background of what the government can do and can’t do may foster and maintain a mindset of dependence on social programs. The responsibility and accountability of the individual is outlined from a Biblical and a practical standpoint. When given only tools for preparing a budget without addressing root causes of poverty and the characteristics of those who build wealth, one is prone to fall back on old habits. Some will lapse into the same approach to life that was previously unsuccessful. A practical education in the economy of the country and about the world is included to provide the reader of the complexities of a global economy for which we all must prepare to insure the future of our families and our country. Decisions must be made daily that influence the financial standing of everyone, based on future goals. Biblical scriptures address these problems for everyone and perhps leaders of entire countries. Common sense approaches to personal finance based on Scripture from thousands of years ago is stressed, and simple basics have not changed since. It is imperative that habits of sound financial practices become a part of one’s daily existence. Each decision should be prayerfully considered, and a budget built from at least a year of transactions should be a guide for making prudent plans. Christians must care for others and provide advice and aid as needed, based on Biblical commands to give to the poor and to help those unable to help themselves. Learning based upon the Scriptures and practical expertise should engage the same approaches when preparing a realistic budget. The focus of this book is not to merely provide handouts but to teach the individual or family to begin a journey leading to financial security, rising from the ranks of the poor through individual effort.

Chosen For Charlie
$14.97Add to cartA Life Bridge Press Title
“I chose you to be her mom.”
When faced with a diagnosis that says your child will never be “normal” or that he or she will always have “special needs,” you don’t feel chosen. You feel fearful, angry … confused. Questions race through your mind:
Why did this happen?
What am I supposed to feel?
How do I raise this child?
What do I do now?
When doctors told Jen Forsthoff that her daughter had Down syndrome, her emotions swelled. And then, God spoke: “I chose you to be her mom.”
Those words brought clarity and helped Jen see the privilege she’d been given–the honor of loving and caring for her precious daughter.
If you are the parent (or parent-to-be) of a special-needs child, you may feel lost, scared, hurt, angry, or confused. But know this: You are not alone. In Chosen for Charlie, you will find hope and encouragement for living with faith and finding the blessing in the most challenging circumstances. No, you are not alone. You are chosen.

Sovereignty Of God
$19.99Add to cartIn this classic work on the sovereignty of God, A. W. Pink explains how His sovereignty is characterized in creation and salvation, and then he describes its relationship to human will. Finally, Pink addresses the proper attitude believers should take towards God’s sovereignty, and how to overcome obstacles in doing so. Pink was a student of theologians like St. Augustine, St. Aquinas, John Calvin, and Jonathan Edwards, and his writing reflects many of their views. Ultimately, however, Pink believed that true faith rests “not in the wisdom of men but in the power of God.”

Where was the miracle I prayed for? “Hope, fear, disappointment, joy, and sorrow tint and shape Brenda’s faith in God as she watched Todd’s illness deepen and death draw near. In the end, the God who sent His Son into the world to save us all is the God Brenda describes as saving her from profound grief and loss.” -Dan Brooks, pastor “Todd’s sweet submission to suffering made a lasting impression on me. Few people have impacted me the way Todd did.” -Carol Loescher, medical doctor “Todd’s diagnosis held the capacity for utter devastation. Instead, Todd was one of those truly remarkable kids who was able to live out his short time with absolute grace. The manner in which Todd and his family lived his last year demonstrate just how powerful it can be to call upon your faith.” -John Chandler, surgeon

1 Foot In Heaven
$33.95Add to cartOne Foot In Heaven is a testament to the power of prayer and how all prayers are heard and often answered. In 2009 Janice was faith-healed by Jesus Christ of diseases that were killing her and she had subsequent visions of meeting the Archangels, her relatives, Jesus, and God the Father in Heaven. It would take years for some of these memories to emerge in the form of visions. She was told she was being healed by Jesus because of her mother’s prayers and her best friend Regina’s prayers. She had previously been somewhat skeptical of faith-healing because of how it was projected by the media; that is until she was faith-healed herself. Jesus told Janice that her mother had been praying for her to meet someone as well. Janice’s dreams and visions would include a brown haired man with blue eyes. As she got to know her husband Tom, he would validate some of the things from her dreams, and future events would also confirm that he was the one she had dreamt about.
Janice takes you on a journey through her life and writes about the different moments when God has saved her life, kept her safe, or altered her path, like He did prior to 9/11. She talks about how God has even answered the smallest of prayers at times.
Janice feels that this day in age, more than ever before, people need to hear and know that miracles still happen and that God is ever-present. Janice hopes this book will inspire people to pray for others, to seek God’s guidance in their everyday lives, and to carry them through the difficult times.

Hidden Life Of A Young Woman
$28.95Add to cartThe context of the story begins with an overview of the family’s heritage of both parents which provides the reader with the character of their ancestors that rightly prepared them for having the moral and insightful capabilities they faced in caring for their daughter named Joanna. From the first chapter, the story tells of her critical birth process which left her seriously injured, grievously impacting her own life but also strongly affecting her immediate family as well. Her first five years and her schooling away from home for three years are presented. When she became eight years old she was transferred to an Institute where she could develop skills in hope of discovering a more rounded promise toward achieving a life worth living. Through training, hard work and perseverance she is able to reach the capability of living independently and working in a professional dental office. (No doubt aided because she has been blessed by having a prodigious memory in most all activities.) While her effort was a significant achievement, it demanded enormous concentration and most surely caused emotional and medical problems which she overcame only through God’s providential care to live in a normal world which none of her early physicians could ever have imagined. After working for some thirty five years she chose to quit and has since come to believe in the Lord Jesus Christ as her Savior. She also enjoys being a volunteer in helping the needy which is ironic since she has depended on others for so much in her own life. On the personal side, this young woman delights in being with her family and her company has always been equally meaningful for both her sisters and Dad . Their encouragement has kept her growing in understanding to believe in herself and continually improve in most everything she does. She visits them in New York City, Tidewater Virginia and central Pennsylvania and rejoices in being with her family knowing that she is indeed much loved.

Power Of Jah Will
$14.95Add to cartIf you love someone set them free . . . if they come back it was meant to be. Heard that one before? We’re not supposed to get “attached” to another person. We’re supposed to remain free and independent yet at the same time we all want commitment, intimacy, and real love. Is that even possible? Many people today are estranged from someone special or from someone who was ordained for their life. How many people know someone whose child or mate left the home . . . their family . . . their roots? Some have even left this life. When they left was it because they were following the call of purity and God’s will? Or were they following a lying promise or destructive inclination, never to find their way back home? What if God treated us the same way? He created us for eternal relationship with him in perfect happiness. He longs to have fellowship with us and has “set us free.” So if we do not find our way back-if we choose to spend eternity apart from Him-is that what’s meant to be? Come along for a conversation about these questions and many more. We will peel back the cover and get a glimpse of free will-His will-and other fascinating and important spiritual matters . . . the things that truly matter. How can we find God’s original intent for our lives? How can we return to innocence?

Kept For The Masters Use
$14.99Add to cart“Take my life, and let it be
Consecrated, Lord, to Thee.
Take my moments and my days;
Let them flow in ceaseless praise.”Many believers are familiar with the hymn “Take My Life and Let It Be” but few know the story or author behind it. In this book, the hymnwriter, Frances Ridley Havergal (1836-1879), shares the thoughts and experience behind the worship classic.
Line by line, Havergal takes the reader through the hymn, explaining thematically what it means to live, day by day, as one submitted to Christ. Despite a lifetime battling chronic pain, Havergal rejoiced in a life consecrated to her Master.
Although written more than one hundred years ago, Havergal’s words are still relevant because Christ’s call for complete devotion-of hands, feet, voice, mind, emotions, and livelihood-is unchanged. Perfect as an inspirational study or for personal devotions, Kept for the Master’s Use is an emboldening call to live a life fully consecrated to Jesus Christ.

She found Him when she was a young adult mired in spiritual busyness and when she was a newlywed bride with doubts about whether her fledgling marriage would survive.

Here you will see a God who is present in every changing circumstance. Most significantly, you see a God who is present in every unchanging circumstance as well. Whatever lost expectations you are facing-in family, career, singleness, or marriage-Every Bitter Thing Is Sweet will bring you closer to a God who longs for you to know Him more.

Divine Healing
$15.99Add to cartJesus is still He who heals both soul “and” body. Salvation offers holiness “and” healing, and the Holy Spirit is willing to give us a manifestation of His power. When we ask why this divine power is not more often seen, the only biblical answer to be found is: “Because of your unbelief.”
Health as well as salvation is to be obtained by faith. The natural tendency of man is to bring about his salvation by his works, and it is only with difficulty that he comes to receive it by faith. But when it is a question of healing the body, he has still more difficulty grasping that truth. As to salvation, he finally accepts it because there is no other way to open the door of heaven. But for the body, he makes use of many other treatments. But happy is he who understands that it is the will of God to show the power of Jesus and to reveal to us His Fatherly love by healing physically as well as spiritually. By doing so, He increases and confirms our faith and teaches us that He demonstrates the power of redemption in the body as well as in the soul.
This book provides biblical clarity concerning divine healing, and supplies basic and applicable principles necessary to having faith concerning healing. The author makes it very clear that we are not healed based on who we are, but based on who Christ is.

Before Amen : The Power Of A Simple Prayer
$19.99Add to cartWe all pray . . . some.
We pray to stay sober, centered, or solvent. When the lump is deemed malignant. When the money runs out before the month does. When the marriage is falling apart. We pray.
But wouldn’t we like to pray more? Better? Stronger? With more fire, faith, and fervency?
Yet we have kids to feed, bills to pay, deadlines to meet. The calendar pounces on our good intentions like a tiger on a rabbit. And what about our checkered history with prayer? Uncertain words. Unmet expectations. Unanswered requests.
We aren’t the first to struggle with prayer. The first followers of Jesus needed prayer guidance too. In fact, prayer is the only tutorial they ever requested.
And Jesus gave them a prayer. Not a lecture on prayer. Not the doctrine of prayer. He gave them a quotable, repeatable, portable prayer. Couldn’t we use the same?
In Before Amen best-selling author Max Lucado joins readers on a journey to the very heart of biblical prayer, offering hope for doubts and confidence even for prayer wimps. Distilling prayers in the Bible down to one pocket-sized prayer, Max reminds readers that prayer is not a privilege for the pious nor the art of a chosen few. Prayer is simply a heartfelt conversation between God and his child. Let the conversation begin.

Roots And Sky (Reprinted)
$13.99Add to cartWhen Christie Purifoy arrived at Maplehurst that September, she was heavily pregnant with both her fourth child and her dreams of creating a sanctuary that would be a fixed point in her busily spinning world. The sprawling Victorian farmhouse sitting atop a Pennsylvania hill held within its walls the possibility of a place where her family could grow, where friends could gather, and where Christie could finally grasp and hold the thing we all long for–home.
In lyrical, contemplative prose, Christie slowly unveils the small trials and triumphs of that first year at Maplehurst–from summer’s intense heat and autumn’s glorious canopy through winter’s still whispers and spring’s gentle mercies. Through stories of planting and preserving, of opening the gates wide to neighbors, and of learning to speak the language of a place, Christie invites readers into the joy of small beginnings and the knowledge that the kingdom of God is with us here and now.
Anyone who has felt the longing for home, who yearns to reconnect with the beauty of nature, and who values the special blessing of deep relationships with family and friends will love finding themselves in this story of earthly beauty and soaring hope.

Extraordinary Women Of Christian History
$19.00Add to cartChristianity has long been criticized as a patriarchal religion. But during its two-thousand-year history, the faith has been influenced and passed down by faithful women.

With gracious irreverence, Ruth Tucker offers engaging and candid profiles of some of the most fascinating women of Christian history. From the famous to the infamous to the obscure, women like Perpetua, Joan of Arc, Teresa of Avila, Anne Hutchinson, Susanna Wesley, Ann Judson, Harriet Tubman, Fanny Crosby, Hannah Whitehall Smith, Corrie ten Boom, and Mother Teresa, along with dozens of others, come to vivid life. Perfect for small groups, these portraits of women who changed the world in their own significant way will spark lively discussion and inspire today’s Christians to lives of faithful witness.

Sparrow : A Journey Of Grace And Miracles While Battling ALS
$18.95Add to cartJennifer Durant, busy career woman, wife, and mom of two, made a drastic Career 2.0 change. In the lexicon of ministry, God called her to be an Episcopal priest, and Jennifer answered. Several years later, in the final weeks of seminary, Durant’s world changed dramatically again, when the persistent weakness in one of her hands was diagnosed as ALS (aka Lou Gehrig’s disease). In Sparrow, completed with her husband, Matthew, Durant recounts her battle and brings the reader with her on her spiritual journey, through her priesthood and ministry, which, despite her illness, continued to her death – with the aid of a speech box, she preached her final sermon on the Sunday before her death. Durant leads readers forward through the confusion of our caffeine-fueled and perpetually exhausted world to discover, as she did, a renewing sense of God-given purpose and sacred light, which even the darkest of circumstances cannot extinguish, a place where, even in silence, God is present, whispering through us. An inspiration to any who suffer from a debilitating disease (or know someone who does) and those who provide pastoral care to others. It is a story of God’s redemption and new life. “

Gift From Julie
$11.95Add to cartThis book was written to encourage people facing a life-threatening illness, in the case of the author, nonalcohol cirrhosis of the liver. One of my doctors said, “If you don’t get a liver transplant soon, you are going to die.” What a statement to hear from your doctor! This doctor, who is a caring and compassionate person, referred me to the Liver Center at Lahey Clinic in Massachusetts. As I found out, getting a new liver is not quick, and definitely not easy. The power of prayer is evident throughout this entire crisis. Judy received many blessings and miracles throughout this grueling journey. I was told I had Factor 5, which is a blood clotting problem, therefore I could not have a live donor liver. This meant I had to wait and pray a cadaver liver could be found before I would die from liver disease. Through prayers, blessings, and miracles, the doctors said they would do a live-donor liver transplant. My niece became my liver donor after having difficulty finding a donor. If you have ever been thrust into a life threatening situation, this book will interest you.

A remarkable memoir of faith, “Miracles from Heaven” is the true story of one little girl, her journey to heaven, and the astonishing recovery that followed.
Annabel Beam spent most of her childhood in and out of hospitals with a rare and incurable digestive disorder that prevented her from living a normal, healthy life. One sunny day when she was able to go outside and play with her sisters, she fell three stories headfirst into an old, hollowed-out tree. Implausibly, she survived without a scratch. While unconscious inside the tree, with rescue workers struggling to get to her, she visited heaven. After being released from the hospital, she defied science and had inexplicably recovered from her chronic ailment.

Broken And Whole
$18.99Add to cartIn his nearly four decades of pastoral, parachurch and nonprofit ministry leadership Steve Macchia has come to understand his own brokenness. He writes: “I’ve experienced great success and embarrassing failure. I’ve considered myself effective, and I’ve watched myself implode. I’ve brought others a lot of joy, and I’ve dished out my share of disappointment. In essence, as much as I like to view myself as a good or very good leader, in fact I’m more truthfully a blessed and broken leader?one who is daily in need of being renewed by the Spirit of God who resides in me.” In these pages Steve offers the gifts of love found in 1 Corinthians 13 as the antidote to our brokenness. He writes with personal transparency from his own experience. Each chapter concludes with a powerful spiritual assessment tool to use in reflecting on our own leadership strengths and weaknesses. By embracing and befriending our own brokenness we can find true wholeness in God’s strength. In these pages you will discover a new way to live in freedom and joy.

On The Incarnation
$14.99Add to cartDuring the fourth century, controversy raged in the church regarding the nature of Jesus Christ. On one side were the Arians, led by the Bishop Arius, who argued that Father, Son, and Holy Spirit were materially separate from one another. They believed that Jesus had been created out of “non-existence” and thus was not on the same level of divinity as God the Father. In response, Athanasius, Bishop of Alexandria, wrote On the Incarnation, a staunch defense of the full divinity and full humanity of Christ. In simple language and with Scripture as a guide, he argued for the eternal nature of the Trinity and that Jesus Christ is not a creation of God the Father but has existed from the very beginning. Athanasius celebrates the redeeming work that came forth through the God-man, Jesus Christ, and His eternal existence and essential unity with the Father.
Ultimately, Athanasius was exiled five times by four different Roman emperors due to his defense of the Trinity, but he remained faithful to his beliefs. Today, On the Incarnation is often included on lists of books every Christian should read.
