Weed Man : The Remarkable Journey Of Jimmy Divine
$19.99Weed Man – The Remarkable Journey of Jimmy Divine – is John McCaslin’s account of the unbelievable exploits of a Jimmy Moree – a law-abiding citizen turned million-dollar drug trafficker, who, amidst sometimes unbelievable, hilarious and escalating circumstances, risked life and limb to both make – and give away – a fortune. Shiploads of Colombian weed Sack loads of cash Island huts made of marijuana bales. Trafficking drugs while directing the neighborhood crime watch Crooked cops and politicians and CIA operatives, Weed Man details exploits of one of the biggest drug traffickers to infiltrate the United States.
D.C. political columnist John McCaslin’s account of a law-abiding citizen turned swashbuckling Caribbean Robin Hood is an unbelievable, entertaining – and true – story of crime, high jinx on the high seas. It was on a secluded cay in the Bahamas one otherwise ordinary morning that Jimmy Moree went for his usual jog on the beach-one that changed his life forever. After all, how many people stumble upon several million dollars while exercising? Soon, millions more would fall into his lap. And with every million, Jimmy spins an amazing yarn, each more incredible than the last-like when he tried to poison a mean neighbor with a deadly barracuda; how ungodly deception caused him to steal the holy garments and identity of his Catholic school priest and principal; why several thousand pounds of particularly potent marijuana came to be stored in the crawl space of a church during its Easter services; his extreme generosity shown to the poor farmers and fishermen who helped care for his ailing mother; and his unlikely view as of one of the world’s biggest drug smugglers from his pew at the royal wedding of Prince Charles and Lady Diana.

Deepest Thanks Deeper Apologies
$56.66This book is for those of us who have failed at being doubt-free but whose passion for God remains steadfast. It’s for those who have been confused by the world–and perhaps even by their own desires–and still long to connect with a loving God who fogives and embraces us. It’s for those who wonder at how our personal failures and uncertainties can make our faith mature–and yet who can believe that somehow these wrestlings also make our need for God complete. Combining candid reflections and insights from the author with rich reminders for every man and woman’s spiritual journey, Deepest Thanks, Deeper Apologies springs from a deep desire not to explain mystery, or to remove doubt, but to encourage mystery and raise doubt–for all who dare to be honest.

Only You Can Be You
$17.99Erik Rees, one of the key pastors at California’s Saddleback Community Church, offers readers the tools they need to make positive life choices that are in accordance with their unique gifts–helping them find genuine happiness and purpose.
Conventional psychological wisdom states that it takes approximately twenty-one days for a new behavior to become a habit. In “Only You Can Be You,” Erik Rees presents readers with an inspiring, three-week action plan for turning their lives around. Rees explains how common it is for people to feel as though they are just going through the motions of life and merely surviving. So many people feel increasingly insignificant as the days fly by since they are not living up to their potential, expressing their individuality freely, or feeling true, deep spiritual fulfillment. But it’s easier to charge out of this self-defeating rut than it seems, and it will only take about three weeks.
As “Only You Can Be You “teaches, it just takes a little self-reflection to get this process started. First, you’ll think through your own life-purpose statement, remind yourself daily of your spiritual importance, and learn how to make lifeaffirming, healthy choices that honor your own God-given, unique talents. With its easy-to-follow format filled with twenty-one daily principles, “Only You Can Be You “empowers readers to become fulfilled individuals who will definitely leave behind a lasting legacy of joy that will inspire others.

Wanderings In The Wilderness
$28.95Life is frustratingly unfair. Jobs are lost, the body grows ill, good people turn out to be evil, friends fail, enemies win, ideals disappoint, and faith grows weak. It is so discouraging to see people who never have a difficulty and never suffer. Always on the mountaintop, they leave many feeling inadequate wondering, “What’s wrong with me?” The storms of life threaten to overwhelm us with a hurricane’s relentless fury.
If you have ever lost your zeal to serve, ever felt so tired you wanted to quit, ever doubted why you should keep trying, then you know the paralyzing aftermath of life’s storms that conceal the joy for which God created you. You know the humdrum existence to which this world has succumbed. It seems like you are just drifting along in an unfamiliar wilderness. Wandering is tolerable; it requires minimal effort and it’s relatively comfortable. You offend no one and you keep your distance. You are lost but you are moving, so why add anything more to your plate? Busy and preoccupied, you go through the motions day after day after exhausting day.
Jesus changes all that. He is faithful, walking where you have walked. He cries your tears. He understands your regret. He smiles at every effort and heals your wounds, rebuking the raging storms of life. He has called to you as you hid in the bushes, ashamed of your nakedness. He searches for you when you were lost, alone, and shivering in the dark. He rescues you from those in the world who would devour you. He can restore your zeal and your desire to serve.
In these accounts, you will experience the joy, the fear, the delight, and especially the wonder of walking with Jesus on your journey back to Paradise.Add to cartin stock within 3-5 days of online purchase

Includes how to train volunteers and staff for hands-on work with children and youth who have special needs.
Provides a theological grounding for the inclusion of people with learning differences and disabilities in the life of a congregation.

A useable on-the-ground resource for church leaders with specific suggestions, samples, and processes for adapting curricula, training volunteers, and supporting parents and caregivers, this guide is grounded in theological principles for the inclusion of people with disabilities in the life of a congregation. It begins by focusing on human relationships instead of programs. Expanding the church’s awareness and understanding of inclusion is done with respect and achieved by extending the gospel of welcome to all.

What Episcopalians Believe
$19.95The most recent and accessible introduction to Episcopalian beliefs
Episcopalian identity tends to focus on history and worship, and sometimes on ethics – but “cradle” and new Episcopalians – plus seekers – will benefit from having a brief, accessible summary of the Christian faith as seen through an Episcopalian lens.
There are two underlying convictions behind the book: FIRST, that ecumenism is at the heart of the Episcopal faith. Episcopalians are well placed to offer themselves as a place of convergance between Roman Catholics and Protestants, and even between Roman Catholics and the Orthodox. SECONDLY, in the current conflicts both within the Episcopal Church and between the Episcopal Church and some of its Anglican Communion partners, there is no fundamental difference in doctrine. The book is an attempt to portray what all parties have in common.

Enemy Of Engagement
$21.95There are a lot of frustrated people in most workplaces today. We’re not talking about the incorrigible office grump or the permanent slacker.

Better enabling these employees to succeed represents an untapped avenue for radically improving productivity. Packed with the latest research findings from the prestigious Hay Group, The Enemy of Engagement uncovers the hidden impediments to performance-excessive procedures, lack of resources, overly narrow roles, and more-and outlines best-practice solutions for eliminating them. This is not an insignificant issue facing businesses today. According to Hay Group’s study, depending on the industry, between one-third and one-half of employees report work conditions that keep them from being as productive as they could be. The Enemy of Engagement gives managers powerful new insights and research-based tools for ensuring their teams are both willing and able to make maximum contributions.

Life In God
$31.99Readers of John Calvin’s Institutes of the Christian Religion often regard this masterwork of doctrine as a cold, sterile, and merely intellectual project. But Matthew Myer Boulton reads it very differently. In Life in God: John Calvin, Practical Formation, and the Future of Protestant Theology Matthew Myer Boulton argues that for Calvin, Christian doctrine is properly conceived and articulated primarily for the sake of practical Christian formation–the immersive, restorative training for wholeness and holiness embodied in the church’s disciplinary treasury.
Although Calvin famously opposed the cloister, Boulton shows that his purpose was not the eradication but the democratization of monastic spiritual disciplines. Just as Calvin endorsed the “priesthood of all believers,” so too did he envision that ordinary disciples could live with God daily, consecrate themselves to the art of knowing God, and embrace spiritually formative practices including scriptural and theological study, daily prayer and worship, regular Psalm singing, frequent reception of the Lord’s Supper, renunciation of “the world,” rigorous moral accountability, and the like.

Ordering Love : Liberal Societies And The Memory Of God
$53.99David Schindler’s book Ordering Love: Liberal Societies and the Memory of God is a metaphysical study of God, love, technology, and culture in modern society.
Schindler argues that “reality” most basically and properly considered, is an order of love; a gift that finds its objective only in an entire way of life. Love is what first brings things into existence, and everything exists in, through, and for love. With this understanding of reality, Schindler explores how modern culture marginalizes love, regarding it at best as a matter of piety or goodwill rather than as the very stuff that makes our lives and the things of the world real.
Schindler examines how Western civilization’s fixation with technology – especially its displacement of experience with experiment and its privileging of knowing and making – has undermined its capacity to build an authentic human culture. Schindler sees this as a technological age not simply because of technological advancements but because of the way we think as the result of our technological orientation. He shows, within the context of politics, economics, science, and cultural and professional life generally, that God-centered love is what gives things their deepest and most proper order and meaning.

Parallel Lives Of Jesus
$38.00In this highly readable introduction to the Gospels, Edward Adams demonstrates how the four canonical Gospels function separately-as unique accounts of Jesus’ life-and as narrative renditions of a shared story: the Fourfold Gospel. Building on the premise that the Gospels are ancient biographies or “lives of Jesus,” Adams examines parallel Gospel passages, highlighting the similarities and differences between them. He begins by approaching the four Gospels generally, then looks at each of them individually, and finally considers six key Gospel passages to further explore the unity and plurality of the Gospels in a more focused way. Adams’s lucid prose helps to make this text ideal for beginning students of the Gospels.

Blame It On The Mistletoe
$17.99Bright’s Pond is all atwitter. Not only is it time for the annual Christmas pageant, but something strange is happening at the Greenbrier Nursing Home – the residents are looking younger, acting happier, and maybe even getting a little friskier. Octogenarian Clive Dickens finally ties the knot with 90-year-old Faith Graves. All eyes naturally turn to Agnes Sparrow, but she denies any role in this apparent miracle.
Agnes’s sister Griselda, still mulling over a recent marriage proposal, agrees to investigate the purported miracle with the help of Bright’s Pond Chief of Police, Mildred Blessing. The clues lead them to Paradise Trailer Park’s newest resident, Leon Fontaine. Turns out Leon has been bottling water from the trailer park’s fountain and selling it as something it isn’t.
Hilarious shenanigans ensue as the quirky folks from Bright’s Pond get to the bottom of Leon’s deception. Meanwhile the pageant must go on, but not without its own issues including a missing baby Jesus and an unruly camel. And then there’s that marriage proposal still hanging over Griselda’s head.
Bright’s Pond certainly isn’t the typical small town with its delightful cast of eccentric characters, but that’s what makes it such a wonderful place to visit!

Our Last Great Hope
$19.99Every day we encounter scores of people headed to an eternity without God. What will it take to wake us up to their desperate need for a Savior? While the earth’s time clock ticks away, well-meaning Christians go to church, pay their tithes, and pray for foreign missionaries-going through the motions of Christian life as millions face an eternity without God. If heaven is indeed for real, and only those who have put their faith in Christ will be given entrance, shouldn’t we be making the most of every opportunity to share the Gospel, the last great hope for all the world? Join pastor Ronnie Floyd as he challenges readers to face reality and begin a global movement to reach the lost. He says, “God is calling us to an awakening regarding his most urgent command found in Matthew 28:19 to go and make disciples of all nations. This Great Commission is the compelling charge given to us with divine authority by our Commander in Chief, Jesus Christ.” If the Great Commission was so important to Jesus, why have we relegated it to casual discussions and an annual campaign in our churches? An awakening has never been more needed. In this challenging book, Pastor Floyd discusses key imperatives such as:
Get honest with yourself
Wake up your church
Understand the urgency
Talk Jesus daily
Reach the next generation now
Minimize structure
Think like never beforeAdd to cartin stock within 3-5 days of online purchase

Preaching As Worship
$25.00Much current literature on church worship rarely mentions preaching, and vice versa. Worship is often seen as restricted to music and liturgy while preaching is assumed to operate on different principles for different purposes. But veteran preacher Michael Quicke argues that preaching should be viewed as worship, as both worship and preaching belong within the same Trinitarian dynamic, serving the same purpose and marked by similar characteristics. Drawing on insights from wide-ranging literature and practitioners on both sides of the gap, this insightful book confronts and corrects ten characteristics of preaching that are disconnected from worship.

Present Tense : A Mennonite Spirituality
$28.25Ever wonder what Mennonite spirituality is or if there is such a thing? Gordon Houser explores the heart of Mennonite spirituality and how Mennonite spiritual practices may succeed or fall short. In his Foreword, Richard Rohr insightfully places Present Tense in the context of his view of Mennonites then concludes, “That’s the way I see it, anyway. But read this inspiring book, and you will know how Gordon Houser sees it-which is much better.” Valerie Weaver-Zercher, Contributing Editor to Sojourners, believes that “Houser’s gentle, forthright, and theologically astute voice has nothing to prove. His many years as an ‘insider’-a church journalist-and ‘outsider’-one who did not grow up Mennonite-render these reflections on Mennonite spirituality into a unique alloy of intimacy and objectivity.” John D. Roth, Professor of History, Goshen College, sees here, “Wise, gentle and grace-filled reflections on spirituality from a Mennonite perspective. I recommend it highly!” And David Augsburger, Professor of Pastoral Care and Counseling, School of Theology, Fuller Theological Seminary, concludes that “Houser has looked at the practices valued highly in his Mennonite community-patient following, peaceful reconciling, political integrity, playful relating, prayerful thinking, perfect imperfection and celebrating the present-and allowed them to be a mirror of his own life in the Spirit and as a member of ‘the community of the Spirit.’ The book is a great read, except for when it starts reading you back and nudging to practice things left unpracticed.”

Only One Way
$45.00This book presents three different, influential and representative theological approaches towards the world religions. Students are not only introduced to the field, but get three passionate and intelligent ‘takes’ on what is at stake. By means of a response to each of the primary essays, the authors are put into interaction with each other, and are also engaged with the most contemporary scholarship in the field of theology of religions. This sustained and high level critical interaction between the authors provides a feature that is not to be found in any other current work in theology of religions. The three views represent: conservative Roman Catholic Christianity (D’Costa), Reformed evangelical Christianity (Strange) and liberationist liberal Christianity (Knitter). This book will therefore appeal to a very wide theological market from all sections of the theological spectrum.

God Is At The Meeting
$38.60Maurice C. received the gift of sobriety more than twenty-five years ago through membership in Alcoholics Anonymous. Through AA, Maurice found the ability to let go of the past and let God take the future. In God Is at the Meeting, Maurice gives insight into a world where hurt and shame lead people to feel that they are “less than” and that they must build walls to protect themselves. Those walls get higher and higher until alcohol or drugs seem to be the only relief. Once enslaved, the alcoholic tries desperately to maintain and strengthen the walls of self-protection, to do it all on his or her own until, finally, the effort becomes too exhausting.
If this is you-listen. You don’t have to live that way any longer. There is a way out, and this way out has worked for thousands of people just like you for more than seventy-five years. If you will let Him, God will walk with you through the twelve steps to sobriety and a life without walls.
This book is not meant in any way to replace the time-tested books of Alcoholics Anonymous. It is one man’s insight into finding, leaning on and growing into a stronger relationship with God as you work through the steps.

Holy Spirit Manufactured Prayer
$38.1116 Chapters
Additional Info
Holy Spirit manufactures prayer for us because He knows what is in the mind of God. Throughout Scripture when God spoke, it was creative and always revealed something about Himself, His purposes, or His ways. As we are fast approaching His next coming, I believe the LORD wants to reveal His plan, His place, His provision, and His purpose for our lives. But for us to get there, we must partner with Him through vigorous prayer. Paul wrote in the book of Acts, “but we will give ourselves continually to prayer and to the ministry of the Word.” (Acts 6:4)This devotional prayer book provides detailed, kingdom-minded prayers which were inspired through the Holy Spirit. Do not just pray, but pray with understanding. How we pray can determine the urgency at which our prayers are answered. I am sure victory is waiting for you.

From A Distance
$19.98Before I decided to sit down and begin my novel, I set out a standard that I wanted to follow, it would be that my novel must respect and honor the Lord Jesus Christ, and it must respect women. It must respect the reader and draw them closer to the Lord. Though the story itself is fiction, the story plays out in real life everyday and everywhere. That is why we all need the Lord in our lives! As a little boy of six, I was placed in a Baptist home for boys in Inglewood, California. My mother was not a part of my life. I had suffered abuse both physical and verbal by my father and stepmothers. I remember a lady at the Baptist Home who taught me to pray and afterwards, she would hand me a cookie and give me a hug. After several years had passed, I received Jesus as my Lord and Savior. This novel is a tribute to her. I ask from my readers only this; when quoting scripture, do not quote me or this book, quote the Bible. And one final thing, never be ashamed of the Gospel. Robert Larimore Wade

In times like this we feel utterly alone. We are not! No matter how dark it is, how cold our heart or how far we stray. God is with us.

Prayer Of Abraham
$13.00Unlike the prayer of Jabez, the prayer of Abraham is an example of a personal prayer of faith. It can fit whatever situation you are in. In fact, the prayer of Abraham has one condition that differentiates it from all other prayers in the Bible and I believe this makes it one of the most powerful prayers you can pray.
That difference is that it must be a prayer for something you do not have, cannot attain by yourself, and is impossible without God’s intervention. When you learn to prayer like Abraham, who is the father of our faith, you will learn to vocalize your prayer, to call out loud and tell your situation to change from the way it is to the way you want it to be.
The Prayer of Abraham will bring your prayer life to a new level and cause you to have a deeper understanding of what prayer is and how to apply it to your life.

Grace Of God
$18.99“Grace. It’s what we crave most when our guilt is exposed. It’s the very thing we are hesitant to extend when we are confronted with the guilt of others-especially when their guilt has robbed us of something we consider valuable.Therein is the struggle, the struggle for grace. It’s this struggle that makes grace more story than doctrine. It’s the struggle that reminds us that grace is bigger than compassion or forgiveness. That struggle is the context for both. When we are on the receiving end, grace is refreshing. When it is required of us, it is often disturbing. But when correctly applied, it seems to solve just about everything. This struggle is not new; it has been going on since the beginning.”-Andy Stanley
We find in the pages of Scripture that the stories found there often mirror our own stories, and that we too need the very thing we do not deserve: the grace of God. From the beginning, the church has had an uneasy relationship with grace. The gravitational pull is always toward graceless religion. The odd thing is that when you read the New Testament, the only thing Jesus stood against consistently was graceless religion. The only group he attacked relentlessly was graceless religious leaders. Even now as you think about grace, there might be a little voice in your head whispering, “It can’t be that easy!” “What about obedience?” “What about disobedience?” “What about repeated misbehavior?” “What about bad habits?” “What about justice?” “What about repentance?” It’s this tension that makes grace so slippery. But that’s the beauty and the truth of grace. We don’t deserve it. We can’t earn it. It can’t be qualified. But God gives it to us anyway because he loves us unconditionally. The story of grace is your story. And as you are about to discover grace plays a larger role than you imagine.

Mentoring Wisdom : Living And Leading Well
$24.95The role of being a leader is a difficult one. They are often called upon to give wisdom and direction, inspiration and hope, vision and paths of execution. Where does all this come from? It comes from a pool of collective wisdom that is gathered over time. For Christian leaders, it comes from their ability to call upon God to provide them with the wisdom and discernment needed at a particular time. Every great leader has a series of mentors in their life who are providing or have provided wisdom. This wisdom becomes part of the pool from which leaders draw. Many leaders today wish that they had a mentor in their life. Someone who loves them; cares about their leadership and mission; listens carefully to their leadership challenges; and provides reflective feedback that points them both to God and the way forward. Yet all too often men and women find themselves without this great resource. This book is intended to serve as a passive mentor. A passive mentor is someone that we can glean knowledge from even though we may never meet him or her personally. The following pages contain a collection of insights speaking into challenges faced by most leaders. Included with each is a scriptural verse or passage that points towards faith and God’s promise to walk with leaders through each day. In each of the topics addressed, Carson will be asking questions about the reader or their leadership while providing some leadership insights he has learned while leading at Arrow Leadership. Each section closes with a prayer that can be used as a guide for a leaders own prayers for the week that follows. Every page invites God to speak to the reader and enjoy the peace of His presence.

Dead Church Walking
$25.99Most everyone recognizes that the traditional Western way of doing church is in deep trouble and has been struggling for years to survive. While the successful rise of some new, non-traditional churches often take the sting out of the demise of the average church, the truth is that God still can renew congregations that have a rich history but are struggling to adjust in today’s postmodern culture.
In his new book, Dead Church Walking, author Jimmy Dorrell offers both Biblical and social principles with clear suggestions for congregations willing to significantly change to become a body of believers that proclaims God’s kingdom on earth as it is in heaven. While there are no easy fixes, this book addresses underlying symptoms of broken models that often perpetuate terminal illness stopping the church from doing God’s work on earth.
Dorrell says our churches don’t need new missions statements or re-structuring but a fresh wind of God’s spirit. We don’t need charismatic leaders but compassionate, Christ centered leaders. He shows us how to embrace change, overcome the obstacles to change, and focus on kingdom growth instead of church growth. This book is hopeful and encouraging, bringing fresh ideas to ignite the fire of churches and put them on the road to recovery.

Your 100 Day Prayer
$19.99Readers are guided through 100 days of intentional prayer and biblical truth that transform their spiritual lives and reveal God’s provision for their needs.
Anything worth having in this life is worth waiting for and worth striving for. Unlike the world, though, Christians are called to a much different kind of pursuit when they survey their dreams, desires, and needs. Instead of an indulgent wish list, Christians are called to live a transformed life where they become more like Christ through the journey of striving after God’s will. In a time when both the world and even some Christians preach instant gratification, Your 100 Day Prayer offers another path-one of transformation while asking, seeking, and knocking for deep desires and desperate needs.
There is nothing guaranteed about 100 days, but as author John Synder says, “This sustained, stubborn, never-give-up spirit of prayer is not so much to persuade God to give us what we want, but rather to transform us in the process.” Your 100 Day Prayer helps readers combine their need with God’s will in a measured, structured, and instructional experience that results in greater spiritual maturity, clarity about God’s provision, and real answers to their very real needs. Because our “Father in heaven gives good gifts to those who ask him.” (Matthew 7:11).

Each chapter focuses on a single biblical text. Kaiser introduces the topic, examines the issues, notes who has contributed to some of the solutions, and shows how this sets up the text to be exegeted and prepared for exposition.

Conversations With Scripture The Book Of Judges (Student/Study Guide)
$21.95A fresh, accessible approach to the religious and spiritual significance of the story of Judges – not as a series of heroic stories but as a cautionary tale about convenant, sin, and society.
The newest entry in the only Bible study series written from a uniquely Anglican perspective
Designed for adult formation programs in parish group settings or for use by individuals
Study and reflection questions included
Sunday School curriculum or an irredeemably violent book? Throughout its history, Judges has both entertained and appalled readers – some read it as a series of simple stories about faithfulness and some as a brutal and bloodthirsty book. Heller explores how Judges can shape our understanding of our world, our relationships, and can provide a path to a deeper appreciation of the ways of God among people. Far from seeing the book as either simplistic or cruel, Heller allows this odd text to speak to us anew about God, sin, relationships, and justice.

Gods Ghostbusters : Vampires Ghosts Aliens Werewolves Creatures Of The Nigh
$33.25Recently some 300 exorcists flocked to Poland for a week-long congress to examine the current fashion for vampirism the world-over and the apparent connection between this fascination and a surge in demonic possession.
This comes as the world is experiencing an explosion of ancient occultism combined with wicked fascination for ghosts and all things paranormal. In the United States alone, there are now more than two hundred thousand registered witches and as many as 8 million unregistered practitioners of “the craft.” On college and high school campuses, vampires, werewolves, and other “creatures of the night” are esteemed as objects of desire and idolized by young men and women who view them as cult icons of envious mystical power. Church goers are enchanted by the darkness as well. An April 13, 2011 article “Mysticism Infecting Nazarene Beliefs” was preceded only a few days before by a Telegraph article describing how a “surge in Satanism” inside the church has sparked a “rise in demand for exorcists” within traditional religious settings.”
Why is this happening now? God’s Ghostbusters provides shocking answers in this collaborative work by Gary Bates, Chuck Missler, Gary Stearman, Thomas Horn, Nita Horn, Russ Dizdar, Donna Howell, Derek Gilbert, Sharon Gilbert, Michael Hoggard, Noah Hutchings, Terry James, John McTernan, Jeff Patty, Fred DeRuvo, and Douglas Woodward.

Hide And Secret
$14.99Anna Mae Shetler is a tomboy who loves nothing more than exploring the woods with her two best friends, Amos and Jeremiah. During a game of hide and seek they stumble upon a mystery that will threaten to tear apart their friendship, and-as they soon discover-it’s a mystery that caused a rift in their families decades earlier.
Anna Mae and her friends are playing in the old tree house in the woods when a floor board suddenly breaks. No one is seriously hurt, but when they take a second look, they see that a metal box of money and a diary have been hidden under the floor in the crook of the tree branches. Upon further inspection, they discover that it is a lot of money.
As the three set out to solve the mystery, they discover that Jeremiah and Anna Mae’s grandmothers were once great friends, something they would have never guessed since the two women have only been distantly civil to each other in their lifetimes. As they investigate further, they realize there is a missing third party who must certainly hold the answers to this puzzle.

Against The Tide
$16.23Young people are surrounded by media militantly attacking biblical virtue and values. The goal of Christian education is still to “present every man perfect in Christ,” but postmodernism declares that there is no one right way to live. In the midst of this conflict, many Christian school leaders are surrendering, lowering their expectations in order to bring in more students, tolerating an atmosphere which works against the basic purpose for which the schools were founded. Against the Tide calls the Christian education movement back to its mission. The ideas offered in this book are thoroughly practical. The authors have effectively implemented these principles in their Christian schools. More important, these ideas are thoroughly biblical in their understanding of the role of Christian education and, in particular, of the Christian school, in helping parents to develop Christlike character in young people.

Sermons From Job
$25.00Leroy Nixon, the translator of these sermons wrote, “Of all the sermons by Calvin, the 159 on the book of Job have probably been the most famous. They express clearly his sense of the majesty of God. To work with them over the past three years has been a rich and exciting spiritual experience. . . If the reader gets only a fraction of the benefit which came to the translator, the reader will be amply rewarded. Calvin’s piety is well expressed in the sermons titled, ‘The Lord Gave; the Lord has taken Away’; ‘Blessed is the Man whom God Corrects’; ‘Though He Slay Me, Yet Will I Trust in Him;’ ‘Does Not God Count My Steps’; ‘ and ‘The Right Use of Affliction.’ Pervading these sermons is the prayer and conviction that whatever comes to pass may all be for the glory of God.”

Holy Spirit Manufactured Prayer
$24.3616 Chapters
Additional Info
Holy Spirit manufactures prayer for us because He knows what is in the mind of God. Throughout Scripture when God spoke, it was creative and always revealed something about Himself, His purposes, or His ways. As we are fast approaching His next coming, I believe the LORD wants to reveal His plan, His place, His provision, and His purpose for our lives. But for us to get there, we must partner with Him through vigorous prayer. Paul wrote in the book of Acts, “but we will give ourselves continually to prayer and to the ministry of the Word.” (Acts 6:4)This devotional prayer book provides detailed, kingdom-minded prayers which were inspired through the Holy Spirit. Do not just pray, but pray with understanding. How we pray can determine the urgency at which our prayers are answered. I am sure victory is waiting for you.

Deseret
$22.95The Mormon Prophet, Brigham Young, had a vision. He would rule the kingdom of Deseret stretching from the Rocky Mountains to the Pacific. In Deseret, the church founded by Joseph Smith would find freedom from its persecutors. In Deseret, the church could practice the doctrines of Polygamy and Blood Atonement that made Young feel so powerful. Two people Brigham Young wanted to share Deseret with him were Christopher Wolf and his strikingly beautiful wife, Ann. Christopher, he wanted as a Danite protector and Ann as one of his plural wives. Ann, however, was as stubborn as she was beautiful and Christopher seemed to have a protector of his own. Did the charm depicting an English Cathedral, hanging around Christopher’s neck have some kind of power? Or was it the Indian army scout, whom some Mormons said was an angel who always seemed to show up to upset Brigham Young’s plans? Was the temple of Deseret the door to the Celestial Kingdom, or is Jesus Christ the door?
The story of Deseret will carry you through the tumultuous events that helped form the United States as a land from “sea to shining sea,” and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints into a unique American religion.

NotesAdditional Info
Ideas have consequences. And sometimes those ideas can be squeezed in to slogans, slapped on bumper stickers and tweeted into cyberspace. These compact messages coming at us from all directions often compress in a few words entire ethical systems. It turns out that there’s a lot more to the ideas behind these slogans–ideas that need to be sorted out before we make important moral decisions as individuals or as societies.In this revised and expanded edition of Steve Wilkens’s widely-used text, the author has updated his introductions to basic ethical systems:
cultural relativism
ethical egoism
utilitarianism
behaviorism
situation ethics
Kantian ethics
virtue ethics
natural law ethics
divine command theoryHe has also added two new chapters:
evolutionary ethics
narrative ethicsWith clarity and wit Wilkens unpacks the complicated ideas behind the slogans and offers Christian evaluations of each.

Historical Dictionary Of The Friends Quakers
$232.85The modern reputation of Friends in the United States and Europe is grounded in the relief work they have conducted in the presence and aftermath of war. Friends (also known as Quakers) have coordinated the feeding and evacuation of children from war zones around the world. They have helped displaced persons without regard to politics. They have engaged in the relief of suffering in places as far-flung as Ireland, France, Germany, Ethiopia, Egypt, China, and India. Their work was acknowledged with the award of the Nobel Peace Prize in 1947 to the American Friends Service Committee (AFSC) and the Friends Service Council of Great Britain. More often, however, Quakers live, worship, and work quietly, without seeking public attention for themselves. Now, the Friends are a truly worldwide body and are recognized by their Christ-centered message of integrity and simplicity, as well as their nonviolent stance and affirmation of the belief that all people-women as well as men-may be called to the ministry.
The expanded second edition of the Historical Dictionary of the Friends (Quakers) relates the history of the Friends through a chronology, an introductory essay, an extensive bibliography, and over 700 cross-referenced dictionary entries on concepts, significant figures, places, activities, and periods. This book is an excellent access point for scholars and students, who will find the overviews and sources for further research provided by this book to be enormously helpful.

Relics And Miracles
$27.99Esteemed translator Boris Jakim here presents for the first time in English two major theological essays by Sergius Bulgakov. In “On Holy Relics,” Bulgakov’s 1918 response to Bolshevik desecration of the relics of Russian saints, he develops a comprehensive theology of relics, connecting them with the Incarnation and showing their place in sacramental theology in general. In “On the Gospel Miracles” (1932), Bulgakov presents a Christological doctrine of the Gospel miracles, focusing on the question of how human activity relates to the works of Christ. Both works are suffused with Bulgakov’s faith in Christian resurrection – and with his signature “religious materialism,” where the corporeal is illuminated by the spiritual and the earthly is transfigured into the heavenly.

Liturgy Of Grief
$32.94In Lamentations, we read of the unbearable grief experienced by a group of believers. Leslie Allen suggests the book can be read as the script of a liturgy performed to help the people of God come to terms with the fall of Jerusalem and the national catastrophe it entailed. It reveals God’s sometimes hidden support for those who grieve and for their caregivers. In this unique commentary on Lamentations, respected Old Testament scholar and volunteer hospital chaplain Leslie Allen appropriates this oft-neglected book of the Bible to deal with a universal issue. Incorporating stories of pastoral encounters with hospital patients, Allen integrates Scripture and pastoral care to present a biblical model for helping those coping with grief. The book includes a foreword by Nicholas Wolterstorff, author of Lament for a Son.
