Lessons Of Love (Revised)
$49.99Add to cartThis book was written in response to a call from the Lord to develop a guide to assist lay people in reading through the Bible. If there are any errors, they are totally mine. I pray you will read these lessons with an open heart to God’s voice through the reading of His word. Along the way, many people provided encouragement and guidance. About 100 people participated in the original Bible study conducted through the mail and Internet. Those participants greatly encouraged me during the process of the intense study and development of the written lessons. Many provided funds for the mailings and prayer for my strength to endure the rigorous one-year process. Above all, my parents, Garner and Jean Baker, provided the most support in love and dedication to my vision for the lessons. Thomas Baker, my son, assisted with some of the typing and drawings. Letha Coleman, my daughter, prayed for me and listened patiently to my complaints and words of exhaustion. My eternal thanks to my family and friends who stayed the course and made this book possible. My husband wrote about 35 of the lessons so that I could attend to family emergencies and the lessons could proceed to the Bible study participants on time. Hopefully, these lessons will be a blessing to you.

Answering The Call
$15.99Add to cartGrace on Wings, the only charity air ambulance in the United States, was founded in 2006 when a group of volunteers responded to God’s call on their lives. Since then, the ministry has served 271 patients in crisis from a medical emergency. This book shares their stories and some of the amazing patient transport stories. On a deeper level, it challenges all readers to hear and answer God’s call to love and serve others. “I was most captivated by the stories of the patients helped by the Grace on Wings ministry. Countless times while reading the book, I was reminded of the friends who helped the paralytic go through the roof of a house to be healed by Jesus. Dr. Milstead and his team are the friends in that story.” Rev. Dan McNerney, Presbyterian Frontier Fellowship “I remember well the day Hal presented to me and our senior lender. The deep passion oozed out of him. The love of Jesus and commitment to this ministry was compelling.” Karen Miller, President and CEO, The Farmers Bank “Answering the Call tells the wonderful story of friends who heard God’s call to go beyond the usual, beyond the normal way of life, into an exciting and unique way of serving the Lord and helping people who desperately need help. Jim Milstead shares the challenges, the responses, and the blessings of God as the Grace on Wings team steps forward in faith to do the seemingly impossible. This book is a great read, as it turns our personal thoughts into how we too can answer the call and do the impossible with God’s leading.” Donna Thomas, Christian Vision Ministries For more information or to make a flight request, call 1.877.75.GRACE, find Grace on Wings on Facebook, or visit the ministry website at www.graceonwings.org.

Threshold 2 : Time Is Once Go With Truth
$24.95Add to cartFlying home to New York I pictured my boxes of diaries being delivered, driven like a western covered wagon train slowly rolling across America. Back in hometown the collection of stories grew by searching for a church, new jobs, another dog and stumbling in and out of love.
January of 2002 after having major surgery I began reading 240 diaries and shaping events. Honoring God by illuminating my trials and blessings was my motive for writing. Telling the story of God’s love became my objective. By 2007 I quit one part time job to carve out quality time as writing matured into a daily labor of love.
In March 2012 I discovered Westbow Press. Prayerfully putting my manuscript into the hands of their editor’s, the hard work of rewriting progressed. My hope is to encourage those who think they know Jesus as Savior to be sure and obey Him as Lord. Lord willing many more will come to love Him.

Pilgrimage : My Journey To A Deeper Faith In The Land Where Jesus Walked (Reprin
$19.00Add to cartAn Intimate Look at a Bestselling Author’s Journey to Deeper Faith
“The opportunity to tour Israel came at a good time. For months, my life has been a mindless plodding through necessary routine, as monotonous as an all-night shift on an assembly line. Life gets that way sometimes, when nothing specific is wrong but the world around us seems drained of color. Even my weekly worship experiences and daily quiet times with God have felt dry and stale. I’m ashamed to confess the malaise I’ve felt. I have been given so much. Shouldn’t a Christian’s life be an abundant one, as exciting as Christmas morning, as joyful as Easter Sunday?”
With gripping honesty, Lynn Austin shares with readers a private and intimate look at her own struggles with spiritual dryness in a season of loss and unwanted change. As she journeys through Israel, Austin turns to Scripture at each site she visits. Then with a fiction writer’s eye for detail, she seamlessly weaves events and insights from the Word as she finds hope, renewed faith, and a sense of direction for the future.

Cure : Prescription For Life
$12.99Add to cartThroughout human history, mankind’s greatest struggle has been our willingness to admit our need for God. (Psalm 14:1)
– Our failure to recognize our need for God has led to a deep spiritual sickness. (Psalm 14:2-3)
– Until we accept that we have this disease, we won’t recognize our need to find “The Cure.” (Matthew 5:3)In the section of Scripture known as “The Beatitudes”, Jesus lays out principles that work much like a doctor diagnosing cancer. By demonstrating the vast difference between the heart of God and the heart of man, He reveals both the depth of our spiritual sickness, as well as the folly of trying to live without God. Like a person who is sick with cancer, it is not until you receive your diagnosis, and accept the fact you have a terminal disease, that you become willing to take the steps necessary to find “The Cure” for your condition. This book explores an important spiritual truth: Once we accept the reality of God’s diagnosis, the only hope of getting better is “The Cure” that Jesus offers!

EpilogueAdditional Info
Life pulls us in many directions, sometimes even to the point of pulling our souls apart. We know rest and reflection are necessary for a healthy life-even Jesus took time to get away from the crowds, away from the demands of everyday life, to pray, to spend time with close friends, to sleep. But when Carolyn Weber-emotionally and physically exhausted from managing her career as a college professor, writing her first book and parenting three children under the age of three-hears this truth from a friend, all she can think is: but who will do everything if I don’t? And this sets her on a journey to find the still, small space in each day. In these pages Carolyn reflects on the eternal beauty that lurks within the present. Drawing from literature, history and everyday life, Holy Is the Day is a collection of spiritual reflections that trace the way God’s ever-renewing grace is a gift of the present. Opening it we find poignant stories of endurance, humility, compassion, remembrance and gratitude, as well a harrowing account of near-death experience. Carolyn gives us new eyes to receive the precious gift of the present and give it away to others. -

Gentle Giant Of Dynamite Hill
$14.99Add to cartThese are the firsthand accounts of sisters Helen and Barbara Shores growing up with their father, Arthur Shores, a prominent Civil Rights attorney, during the 60s in the Jim Crow south Birmingham district—a frequent target of the Ku Klux Klan. Between 1948 and 1963, some 50 unsolved Klan bombings happened in Smithfield where the Shores family lived, earning their neighborhood the nickname ‘Dynamite Hill.’
Due to his work, Shores’ daughter, Barbara, barely survived a kidnapping attempt. Twice, in 1963, Klan members bombed their home, sending Theodora to the hospital with a brain concussion and killing Tasso, the family’s cocker spaniel. The family narrowly escaped a third bombing attempt on their home in the spring of 1965.
The Gentle Giant of Dynamite Hill is an incredible story of a family’s unfair suffering, but also of the Shores’ overcoming. This family’s sacrificial commitment, courage, determination, and triumph inspire us today through this story and the selfless service, work, and lives of Helen Shores Lee and Barbara Sylvia Shores.

Why God Why
$14.99Add to cartThere are hard things in this life. You’ve seen things that cause you to ask, “Why?” Go ahead and ask.
Pastor Karen Jensen knows firsthand what it is like to experience personal tragedy. In this book she shares with readers that it’s OK to ask why, but it’s not OK to “camp out” there.
The book will open with Karen’s story: she and her husband were pastors of a church for about four years. She was thirty-seven, and their sons were twelve and thirteen. Her husband went to bed early New Year’s night and by the time she went into the bedroom a little while later, he was dead in the bed. There was no conclusive medical explanation for how he died, but he left Karen to carry on not only as the mother of their two children but as the pastor of the church they had started. Karen uses this personal story as the backdrop for her teaching that will both inspire and challenge Christians who are trying to cope with personal loss and other life-altering circumstances.
“Things happen. Things are still going to happen. It is not the time to toss in the towel. Keep going. Keep trusting. God is faithful, and you can trust Him.”

Balance : A Story Of Faith Family And Life On The Line
$36.00Add to cartNik Wallenda shares how the support of his family and his faith in Jesus Christ keep him balanced as a death-defying stunt performer.
Nik Wallenda, “King of the High Wire,” doesn’t know fear. As a seventh generation of the legendary Great Wallendas, he grew up performing, entertaining, and pushing the boundaries of gravity and balance.
When Nik was four years old, he watched a video from 1978 of his great grandfather, Karl Wallenda, walking between the towers of the Condado Plaza Hotel in Puerto Rico, stumbling, and falling to his death because of a faulty balance pole. When Nik heard his father quote his great-grandfather–“Life is on the wire, everything else is just waiting”–the words resonated deep within his soul and he vowed to be a hero like Karl Wallenda.
Balance is the theme of Nik’s life: between his work and family, his faith in God and artistry, his body and soul. It resonates from him when performing and when no one is looking. When walking across Niagara Falls, he prayed aloud the entire time, and to keep his lust for glory and fame in check, Nik returned to the site of his performance and spent three hours cleaning up trash left by the crowd.

$19.99Add to cartBut I do not account my life of any value nor as precious to myself, if only I may finish my course and the ministry that I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of the grace of God. -Acts 20:24 (ESV)
Growing old has been the greatest surprise of my life,” says Billy Graham, known by many as God’s Ambassador. “I would have never guessed what God had in store for me, and I know that as I am nearing home, He will not forsake me the last mile of the way.”
In Nearing Home this man of faith-now in his nineties-explores the challenges of aging while gleaning foundational truths from Scripture. Billy Graham invites us to journey with him as he considers the golden years while anticipating the hope of being reunited with his wife, Ruth, in his heavenly home that eclipses this world. “When granted many years of life, growing old in age is natural, but growing old with grace is a choice,” says the author. “Growing older with grace is possible for all who will set their hearts and minds on the Giver of grace, the Lord Jesus Christ.”
Join Billy Graham as he shares the challenges of fading strength but still standing strong in his commitment to finishing life well.
“Explore with me not only the realities of life as we grow older but also the hope and fulfillment and even joy that can be ours once we learn to look at these years from God’s point of view and discover His strength to sustain us every day.” -BILLY GRAHAM

Waiting For A Father
$15.99Add to cartWaiting for a Father tells of the heart-wrenching cry of orphans to belong. For over two decades, Gary Stephens, his wife Helen, and their four biological children lived in Hong Kong, working with Vietnamese refugees. By 1991, they had founded several homes for orphans and were involved in local and international adoptions. In 1992, their work spilled into mainland China, when they learned of baby girls being abandoned in alarming numbers, innocent victims of the one-child policy. Gary and Helen acted, founding an orphanage in a city in southern China.
The need to empty orphanages became personal for Gary when, in 1996, Gary and Helen met two-year-old Jacob, a Hong Kong Chinese boy who was born without eyes and had been abandoned. They brought him to their home for children with special needs, and Gary and Helen became Jacob’s foster parents. Two years later, in a quiet moment before God, Gary heard a simple command: Change Jacob’s status from foster son to son.
Gary and Helen filed the paperwork, and on October 31, 1998 his name was officially changed to Jacob Lok Chi Stephens-and he became the youngest of five children in the Stephens family. Now 18, Jacob is still non-verbal and developmentally delayed. Despite this, Jacob brings much joy to his family and even skis with his father.
Written with Carmen Radley, Waiting for a Father is a story of hope-of people who did not look away, but instead opened their hearts to a child who needed them. It’s an inspiring message and a call to action to help empty the orphanages of the world…one child at a time. Waiting for a Father reveals a place where nationality, language, and color do not matter-that place in the heart of every orphan across the globe.

Do You Want To Be Healed
$15.99Add to cartSo you’ve prayed to God that He will take your pain away, but it just seems as if He wants you to carry that cross forever. Have you ever thought that perhaps God really does want to heal you, but you’re actually standing in the way? Do You Want to Be Healed? Allowing God to Heal Brokenness in Your Life shares a little-known truth about Jesus’ healing ministry-you have to be ready for healing before Jesus will heal you. That means you can’t keep one foot in your dysfunction while crying out to God for help. You have to go all in before Jesus can perform that healing miracle in your life. If you’re ready for that kind of commitment-ready for Jesus to wipe away your tears and heal the brokenness in your soul-take a chance and say, yes, I want to be healed. Newspaper editor, soldier, political consultant, private investigator, intelligence officer, adjunct professor, business owner, senior executive, Bachelors and Masters Degrees-on paper Tom Mann looks like one of the more successful people you will meet. You would never see the dysfunction that consumed him, caused by too many years of neglect and abuse as a child. For years, he thought everyone else was nuts until the day he realized it was actually him. Crying out to Jesus, Tom found healing, but not in some “shabalee-doo, you’re healed” kind of way. No, more like the “Submit yourself fully to Jesus and do things you don’t want to do” kind of way. God has used Tom’s pain for good, giving Tom the ability to powerfully speak into other’s lives about healing. Now he desperately wants you to have the same kind of healing God has given him.

From Orphan To Physician
$14.95Add to cartHealthy Life Press
Those who do not know me that well know only that I graduated from Princeton and Harvard, and that I am the Chief of Cardiology and Assistant Physician-In-Chief of a medical center. Usually people are very surprised when I tell them I grew up in an orphanage…. As I reflect on my life, I can see many twists and turns.
The most comforting thing is that God chose me to be His child even before I knew Him. When I lost my earthly father, He stepped in to fill the void and become my heavenly Father. At different stages of my life, He sent different people to help me out. When I fell, He lifted me up. When I strayed from Him, He gently guided me back to the right path…. I want to share my life story with others not because I am rich and famous, or that I have anything of which I can boast, but because I am convinced that God has a perfect plan for each of us. There is a reason He allows all the twists and turns, crossroads and tunnels in each of our lives.

Excesses Of The Church
$18.99Add to cartThe Excesses of The Church: A Wake Up Call is an honest assessment of the journey of the Church. It tackles the manner that the Church has departed from Jesus’ purpose, drive, His deep intent for mankind and the Church. It cuts right through our delusion of grandeur when it comes to God and recounts how Christendom has hushed up and hidden its leprous state in clerical regalia. It clearly portrays how worldliness, exhibitionist and self serving ambitions have plagued us. It aims to salvage a few soldiers of the cross who will in turn catalyze the conscience and the heart of the world. The book educates and edifies readers while at the same time encouraging and challenging them as to the future of the Church in this world. This is the book that every concerned Christian would have liked to write. If the contents of this book fail to offend us and we become defensive then one thing is wrong with us, we are not yet ready for revival. However, if it convicts us to change our ways then this book will have achieved its purpose. Colin Warambwa MD Walter Senah lives in Harare, Zimbabwe with his wife Febi and their children Takudzwa, Tariro and Chiedza. Walter is a graduate of Logos International Graduate School, Florida, USA. He has served in various Church leadership capacities and Pastoral roles from his twenties. He also has a Masters Degree and has worked extensively in the areas of Finance, Management and Auditing.

Jesus felt no guilt; God wants you to feel no guilt. Jesus had no bad habits; God wants to do away with yours. Jesus had no fears; God wants the same for you. Jesus had no anxiety about death; you needn’t either. God’s desire, his plan, his ultimate goal is to make you into the image of Christ.
But how does this change occur? And why does the change seem so slow? If God wants me to be just like Jesus, why do I still seem just like me?
In Just Like Jesus, Max Lucado helps you answer these questions. He helps you understand God’s wonderful ways of transformation. Would you like to know more? Then read on. And remember: God loves you just way you are, but he refuses to leave you there. He wants you to be just like Jesus.

6 Hours One Friday
$19.99Add to cartDoes life feel futile? Doesn’t have to. Do some of your failures seem fatal? They aren’t. And your death. Does the grave appear to be the final stop? According to Christ, your death is just the start of the something great. There is a truth greater than all the losses and sorrows of life. And it can be discovered in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
In Six Hours One Friday, Max Lucado delves into the meaning of Jesus’ last hours on the cross. Through his death, your life has purpose and meaning. You are forgiven and loved by a Savior who died for you. And an empty tomb proclaims that death does not have the final word.
Peace where there should be pain.
Confidence in the midst of crisis.
Hope defying despair.Does death have the last word? I can see Jesus wink as he gives the answer, Not on your life.”

Lead Like Butler
$17.99Add to cartIn 2011, Butler University made history as the first team to make it to two consecutive finals of the NCAA basketball tournament without being seeded #1 or #2. As the smallest school to play in the championship game in the 40-year history of the tournament, Butler became the quintessential “Cinderella” team. How did this little-known Midwest university achieve what few schools have ever done by making it to the final championship game two years in a row?
Much of the attention is focused on head coach and team leader Brad Stevens, who was only 33 years old at the time of the 2010 tournament. Often mistaken for one of the players, Stevens coaches according to a set of six values-based principles broadly known as the Butler Way – Humility, Passion, Unity, Service, Thankfulness, and Accountability.
Through interviews with coaches, players, and alumni, Kent Millard and Judity Cebula explore the six leadership values taught by the entire coaching staff at Butler University. Each chapter of the book helps readers discover how these values form a solid foundation for pastors and other church leaders and anyone striving for success in life’s journey.

Witness Of A Mormon Dad
$24.99Add to cartWitness of a “Mormon Dad” begins as a summary of the author’s life that includes becoming an evangelical Christian while in college, moving across the country and struggling with his own identity crisis. At the age of thirty-three he marries a Mormon, an event which precedes many daunting challenges the couple would face on a daily basis.

In so doing he examines the pitfalls, inconsistencies and fallacies of Mormon thinking, history and doctrine, while comparing them to the standard of traditional Christianity.

This book is a must read for those who desire the truth regarding the Mormon enigma.

Jesus Today : Experiencing Hope Through His Presence
$16.99Add to cartBeloved missionary, Sarah Young, shares another deeply spiritual devotional to help readers grow in grace, hear from God, and walk with Jesus TodayTM. Her first book, the acclaimed bestseller, Jesus Calling, was born after years of writing in her prayer journal and feeling led to write down what she believed God was telling her. Gradually, her prayer journal turned from a monologue to a dialogue. Knowing that her writings were not inspired as Scripture is, this process still helped her grow closer in her walk with God. In Jesus TodayTM, readers will be renewed with a deeper sense of hope as Sarah shares this about her spiritual journey in writing the book: “When I began writing Jesus Today, I was deeply discouraged by the failure of many months of intensive medical treatment to improve my health. However, the longer I worked on the book-focusing on finding hope in Jesus-the more hopeful and encouraged I became.”
