Into The Wardrobe
$19.95Add to cartPublished in the early 1950s, C. S. Lewis’s seven Chronicles of Narnia were proclaimed instant children’s classics and have been hailed in The Oxford Companion to Children’s Literature as “the most sustained achievement in fantasy for children by a 20th-century author.” But how could Lewis (a formidable critic, scholar, and Christian apologist)conjure up the kind of adventures in which generations of children (and adults) take such delight? In this engaging and insightful book, C. S. Lewis expert David C. Downing invites readers to join his vivid exploration of the Chronicles of Narnia, offering a detailed look at the enchanting stories themselves and also focusing on the extraordinary intellect and imagination of the man behind the Wardrobe.
Downing presents each Narnia book as its own little wardrobe – each tale an opportunity to discover a visionary world of bustling vitality, sparkling beauty, and spiritual clarity. And Downing’s examination of C. S. Lewis’s personal life shows how the content of these classic children’s books reflects Lewis’s love of wonder and story, his affection for animals and homespun things, his shrewd observations about human nature, along with his vast reading, robust humor, theological speculations, medieval scholarship, and arcane linguistic jokes. A fun glossary of odd and invented words will allow readers to speak with Narnian flair, regaling friends and family with unusual words like cantrips, poltoonery, hastilude, and skirling. A masterful work that will appeal to both new and seasoned fans of Narnia, Into the Wardrobe offers a journey beyond Narnia’s deceptively simple surface and into its richly textured and unexpected depths. -

Peace Child : An Unforgettable Story Of Primitive Jungle Treachery In The 2 (Rep
$18.99Add to cartFrom Cannibals to Christ-Followers–A True StoryIn 1962, Don and Carol Richardson risked their lives to share the gospel with the Sawi people of New Guinea. Peace Child tells their unforgettable story of living among these headhunters and cannibals, who valued treachery through fattening victims with friendship before the slaughter. God gave Don and Carol the key to the Sawi hearts via a redemptive analogy from their own mythology. The “peace child” became the secret to unlocking a value system that had existed through generations. This analogy became a stepping-stone by which the gospel came into the Sawi culture and started both a spiritual and a social revolution from within. With an epilogue updating how the gospel has impacted the Sawi people, this missionary classic will inspire a new generation of readers who need to hear this remarkable story and the lessons it teaches us about communicating Christ in a meaningful way to those around us.

Dreamality : Heavens Dream Your Reality
$15.99Add to cartSomewhere between childhood and adulthood, many of us let go of our dreams. We stop trusting that anything will be different. We stop hoping that anything could get better. We stop expecting life to be full of excitement, anticipation, joy, fun, and hope. Optimism is replaced by anger, frustration, and bitterness. But it doesn’t have to be that way. Bob Coy, senior pastor of the seventeen thousand member Calvary Chapel of Fort Lauderdale, believes that hope can be revived and we can rekindle in our heart the expectation of something more. Using the biblical story of Joseph as a recurring analogy, Coy looks to God as our dream-deliver as well as the source of our dreams. He asserts that, as we come to understand God’s heart toward us and the bigger picture of our lives, we can reclaim and live out our dreams.

Into The Region Of Awe
$35.99Add to cartIVP Print On Demand Title
C. S. Lewis is generally regarded as a commonsense Christian whose theology is understandable and practical. And yet, from his memoir Surprised by Joy to his beloved Chronicles of Narnia, from his nonfiction essays to his letters, C. S. Lewis’s works display a distinct sense of the mystical. In this book, David C. Downing explores the breadth of Lewis’s writing, introducing us to the context of Christian mysticism in Lewis’s day and the writers who most influenced him.
Lewis’s critique of mysticism is instructive to us in this day of eclectic religious thought. Exploring Lewis’s sense of the mystical can help us safeguard ourselves from false mysticism, even as it opens the way to a full experience of God’s presence-the “region of awe.”

Ministers Life Of Obedience

I have been in the ministry for over 20 years and was blessed by the content of this book. Anyone who reads this book-from a novice to a seasoned minister-will find it beneficial. The book provides life lessons and principles for any stage of a minister’s calling.” -PASTOR JOHN NUZZO Victory Christian Fellowship Cranberry Township, Pennsylvania A call to the ministry is always a call to preparation first. In this book, Dr. Richards explores the side of the ministry that is seldom examined: total obedience to the call of God from the earth to the throne. Dr. Richards explains, “Obedience to the Lord must be a daily affair, beginning with obedience to the call and completed obedience to the will of the Lord on the earth.” To walk in the call of God as a minister is to walk in obedience to your destiny.Whether you are called to the full-time ministry or you are a layman, an understanding of obedience is essential if we are to please the Lord.

Meditations From Iraq
$20.95Add to cartIn January 2003, Lance Kittleson’s army reserve unit was deployed to Kuwait and Iraq. For the next 14 months, his ministry was transformed – instead of pastoring an Iowa congregation, he now served under harsh and sometimes dangerous conditions as a chaplain for a support unit on the edge of war. Yet even in this chaotic and challenging environment, his trained pastor’s eye finds the presence of God in moments both mundane and exhilarating.
In this collection of e-mails sent to family and friends during his time in the Middle East, Kittleson shares insightful, poignant, and humorous meditations on faith and life. You’ll get a firsthand glimpse of military life, as well as the remarkable ways of the spirit (both divine and human) at work. When the camp’s altar suddenly disappears, you’ll read about how Kittleson comes to understand that the crude replacement altar hastily assembled from discarded shipping crates is a better symbol of Jesus than any fancy altar in an ornate sanctuary. You’ll also see how the sight of a superior officer offering a cup of coffee draws quizzical responses from servicemen accustomed to a rank-conscious army.

Finding God : The Real Thing
$13.49Add to cartWhile hiking high in the mountains, trying to find the elusive and beautiful white mountain goat that I knew was there, low clouds appeared suddenly, totally obscuring my vision. Airplane pilots call it zero zero visibility. Not only is it impossible to find the quarry, but if you proceed in such conditions, you are also in danger of making a wrong choice of direction, leading to one of those precipitous drops so common in these mountains, jeopardizing all your future. The current hazy religious atmosphere is similar. A serious searcher for satisfaction, truth, and the right way is surrounded by false claims, foggy ideas, and contradictory instructions. He cannot see the right way because of the fog, and if he chooses wrong, it can lead in the end to disaster forever. But God has cleared away the clouds in His inspired Book. He is not the author of confusion. Come, look, and allow Him to direct your way. The reward is the abundant life that lasts for eternity. He is the One who loves you the most, knows you the best, and never makes a mistake. Other books by Paul Weimer include With You Always, which is a collection of short accounts of experiences through many years of church planting and flying in Alaska, and The Shepherd and His Sheep, a devotional on John 10.

$19.99Add to cartOn April 10th, 2003, the 1st Battalion, 5th Marine Regiment, faced with the task of seizing the presidential palace in downtown Baghdad, ran headlong into what Lieutenant Colonel Oliver North called, “the worst day of fighting for U.S. Marines.” Hiding in buildings and mosques, wearing civilian clothes, and spread out for over a mile, Saddam Hussein’s militants rained down bullets and rocket propelled grenades on the 1st Battalion. But when the smoke of the eight-hour battle cleared, only one Marine had lost his life. Some said the 1st Battalion was incredibly lucky. But in the hearts and minds of the Marines who were there, there was no question. God had brought them miraculously through that battle.

Rather than a “how-to” book, God’s Heart-Your Hands is a “why-to” book that connects the heart to the task. It presents real-life issues and Scripture-based solutions.

Gods Economy Israel And The Nations
$17.99Add to cartGenesis 26 describes the dynamic of God’s economy. It says: “There was famine in the land and the Lord appeared to Isaac and said, ‘Dwell in this land and I will be with you and will bless you and I will perform the oath which I swore to Abraham your father.'” God’s economy operates against all odds, which isn’t an option for those living in lands of persecution and distress-and it is emerging as a chief strategy for operating a business or ministry in this post- 9/11 environment. God’s economy is based on God’s Kingdom rule and embraces not only the realities of God’s spiritual riches, but also the community (social) and economic riches outlined throughout the Word of God. It is the reemergence of the ancient biblical principles of entrepreneurship, business, and Kingdom wealth.

But it also gives witness to man’s ability to respond to God’s healing and restoration.And in the case of the Hutchens, it is a response of obedience, humility, mission, and love.” Rabbi Yechiel Eckstein

Walk On
$16.49Add to cartMarney’s journal, written over a span of fourteen years, provides an intimate look into her life and faith. Her daily habit was to spend one to two hours in “quiet time” reading, praying, and meditating. But it was only when she started writing her journal that she realized her strengths and weaknesses of her faith. Her journal entries reflect the spiritual growth that followed. Varying in tone from light-hearted, lyrical, and poetic to serious and somber, her thoughts are always trusting and faithful. Marney applied that unquenchable love of God to daily living, difficult decisions, family life, and ultimately her own impending death. This journal is her legacy that she asked to be shared. This is recommended for slow, reflective reading.

Road Of Life
$22.95Add to cartIn his thirteen years as Vicar, popular author David Adam welcomed over 1 million pilgrims to the Holy Island of Lindesfarne in Northumberland. Each pilgrim had a story to tell and each came for a different reason. Some radiated a sense of God’s presence, and others were simply too hurried to do anything but look around quickly and move on to the next site.
Using the stories of pilgrims Adam encountered on Holy Island, he explores how we can approach our own lives as pilgrimage, without ever leaving the comfort of our homes. How can we move beyond what is safe in our world and encounter the Mystery? How can we learn to disconnect from all the technology that keeps us multi-tasking all day and all night? How can we rediscover awe in the world around us?
In the wonderful prose and poetry for which he is so well-loved, David Adam helps us get on the road of life, even when we don’t have time to travel to distant lands.

Writers In The Spirit
$18.95Add to cartWith more than 184 Christian writer’s groups and 155 conferences, thousands of writers are looking for encouragement and insight. Yet, every Christian who writes faces the same issue: finding daily inspiration and creativity.
Designed to be both encouraging and practical, “Writers in the Spirit” guides writers from the novice stage to becoming dedicated authors, something that Carol Rottman achieved when she put aside all other “paying work” to write full time.
Included in these pages are insight and practical tips on such topics as:
Writing Realism:”Take yet another scroll, and write on it all the former words that were on the first scroll …” (Jeremiah 36:27). Popular media have romanticized writers’ lives to be devoted entirely to making beautiful stories. Writers in the Spirit explains the practical issues that writers face and shows how it is possible to overcome dry spells, endless revisions and even self-doubt.
Writing with Fervor:Much of the Apostle Paul’s writing was done in prison. Paul’s passion to win people to Christ overcame any obstacle. While many new writers feel restrained, Writers in the Spirit shows how to find the passion that fuels the writing process.
Writing in the Spirit:”This is what we speak, not words taught by human wisdom, but in words taught by the Spirit …” (1 Corinthians 2:13). Rottman shows that a personal relationship with God is the best source of inspiration. Mediating on God’s word will yield creativity from the Creator.
“Many of us are called as witnesses to the life-experiences God has entrusted to us. If your witness takes the form of the written word, this book will go with you as a trusted companion traveling the same path.” – Former President Jimmy CarterAuthor, Statesman, and Thirty-ninth President of the United States
“‘Writers in the Spirit’ helps connect me to God while reminding me that writing is a gift from Him and a calling to be both treasured and nurtured.”- Sally Stuart, Editor, Christian Writers’ Market Guide

Shining Moments : Visions Of The Holy In Ordinary Lives
$19.95Add to cartThe Bible is filled with stories of shining moments — Moses’ face shone as he came down from the mountain with the ten commandments; Jesus’ face changed and his clothes became dazzling white in a transfiguration witnessed by the disciples; Paul was blinded by a light and heard the voice of Christ on the road to Damascus — and many modern Christians have had equally life-changing experiences of the Lord’s power and presence.
In this third volume of the acclaimed Visions series, 60 contributors share their authentic, intensely personal accounts of holy experiences. Rosmarie Trapp of the Sound of Music family tells of a moment of assurance when “the Lord visited me in a bright, golden light” whose “golden glow brought peace to my soul.” Ralph Milton, author of the historical novel Julian’s Cell, describes a visitation by his late sister: “We were singing together as we often did as children … I don’t recall ever having a memory or dream as clear and powerful as that one, and it left me with a sense of joy and peace.” Karen Steinke recounts the warmth she felt at the moment of her baptism: “I looked up to see the form of Jesus with an overpowering light surrounding him …”
Whether they relate transforming moments like visions, healings, or visitations by angels, joyous moments like being in the presence of a loved one who has died, or just the simple sense of God’s presence while singing in church or sitting in a sunny meadow on a warm spring day, the vignettes in Shining Moments are a testament to the indescribable comfort and peace of an encounter with the divine. And because each story also illustrates a scripture passage, Shining Moments is a valuable preaching resource and an excellent catalyst for small group discussion. But even more, this book provides inspiring and heart-warming reading for personal devotion and spiritual growth.

Others were blessed as she shared her writings, until people all over the world were using her messages. They are written from Jesus’ point of view, thus the title Jesus Calling. It is Sarah’s fervent prayer that our Savior may bless you with His presence and His peace in ever deeper measure.

Ordinary People Extraordinary Faith
$18.99Add to cartIn spite of a diving accident that has left her paralyzed for more than thirty years, Joni Eareckson Tada has been able to build a life of faith and purpose. The peace she has found as she confronts the painful realities of life as a quadriplegic has made her a hero to many people. In Ordinary People, Extraordinary Faith, Joni lets us know who her heroes are. Inside she tells the stories of people who inspire her with their faith and courage. Although Joni has met many famous “heroes of the faith” through her ministry, the lives she shares here are not the Billy Grahams of the world. They are a mother, a housewife, a nursing home resident, a child. Some are missionaries or pastors; others are bank tellers or data entry clerks. All of these people have touched Joni’s life and the lives of others as they found their faith rise to the occasion – to forgive an assailant, to find strength despite the debilitating effects of cerebral palsy, to choose love in the face of racial prejudice, and to discover in the midst of questioning that God Himself is the answer to all questions.

To Pause At The Threshold
$17.95Add to cart“A threshold is a sacred thing,” goes the traditional saying of ancient wisdom. In some corners of the earth, in some traditional cultures, and in monastic life, this is still remembered. But in our fast-paced modern world, this wisdom is often lost on us.
It is important for us to remember the significance of the threshold. While it is certainly true that thresholds mark the end of one thing and the beginning of another, they also act as borders-the places in between, the points of transition. These can be physical, such as the geographical borders of a country; others, such as the spiritual border between the inner and outer world-between ourselves and others-are intangible.
In To Pause at the Threshold, Esther de Waal looks at what it is like to live in actual “border country,” the Welsh countryside with its “slower rhythms” and “earth-linked textures,” and explores the importance of opening up and being receptive to one’s surroundings, whatever they may be.
