Recovery In Christ
$28.99Add to cart“Through the words of Recovery In Christ, Floyd Kelley has brought unique and insightful teaching on the mysteries of deliverance and healing. The ability to reach inside of his own personal experience gives Floyd a unique gift and perspective to break down Biblical truths in these areas. He is able to take a vast subject and walk readers through comprehensible steps to understanding healing and spiritual deliverance.” Rabbi Curt Landry “Floyd’s understanding of Hebraic Roots along with his personal testimony and background as a gentile have given him the perfect vantage-point from which to write this powerful and practical book that is sure to establish all of us in Yeshua!” Dr. Dwain Miller In these end-times, compulsions, obsessions and addictions are at epidemic levels. Satan uses compulsions, obsessions and addictions to force his slaves to build up his kingdom. Satan also uses compulsions, obsessions and addictions to prevent Christians from living the abundant life. As compulsion, obsession or addiction becomes too painful people reach out for help. So Satan formulated a recovery program that revolves around a couple of biblical principles that, when misapplied, do not harm his kingdom. Unsurprisingly, this “Biblical” program pushes people away from the Father’s table. In contrast, Recovery In Christ invites people to the Father’s table where they can dine with Yeshua’s Spirit and feast on His Word to overcome compulsions, obsessions and addictions as a part of the One New Man, and live the abundant life. Floyd Kelley earned degrees in Engineering and Psychology at Louisiana Tech University before entering the corporate world. After becoming a successful executive, Floyd hit Rock Bottom. After recovering, Floyd and his wife, Stephanie, joined Lowery International Ministries and ran their woman’s shelter and jail ministry. Today, Floyd is the Founder and President of Recovery In Christ Ministries Incorporated.

Matthew And John
$14.00Add to cartThe Cotton Patch Gospel recasts the stories of Jesus and the letters of Paul and Peter into the language and culture of the mid-20th century South. Born out of the Civil Rights struggle, these now classic translations of much of the New Testament bring the far-away places of Scripture closer to home: Gainesville, Selma, Birmingham, Atlanta, Washington, D.C.

We need to have the good news come to us not only in our own tongue but in our own time. We want to be participants in the faith, not merely spectators.”

Dirty God : Jesus In The Trenches
$18.99Add to cartIn Dirty God: Jesus in the Trenches, Johnnie Moore draws on both Scripture and his extensive experience with other cultures and religions to show how the God of the Bible is unique in his willingness to be near us in all of our messiness. Moore outlines the central importance of the doctrine of grace while introducing readers to a humble and human Jesus who reaches out to us at our worst and pulls us up to our best.
Grace, Moore argues, is something that is both gotten and given, and the two-part structure of the book allows readers to explore both of these dynamics. By offering hope rather than condemnation and showing the practical applications of grace in today’s world, Dirty God will appeal to both the committed Christian and the spiritual seeker looking for a more authentic faith. Challenging and engaging, Dirty God is sure to establish Johnnie Moore as an emerging voice for Millennial and Gen-X evangelicals for years to come.

Encyclopedia Of The Stone Campbell Movement
$103.99Add to cartWith roots in British and American endeavors to restore apostolic Christianity, the Stone-Campbell Movement drew its inspiration from the independent efforts of nineteenth-century religious reformers Barton W. Stone and the father-son team of Thomas and Alexander Campbell. The union of these two movements in the 1830s and the growth of the new body thrust it into a place of significance in early nineteenth-century America, and it quickly spread to other parts of the English-speaking world.
From its beginnings the Movement has developed into one of the most vital and diverse Christian traditions in the world. Today it encompasses three major American communions — Churches of Christ, the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), and Christian Churches/Churches of Christ — as well as united churches in several other countries.

Written by more than 300 contributors, this major reference work contains over 700 original articles covering all of the significant individuals, events, places, and theological tenets that have shaped the Movement. Much more than simply a historical dictionary, this volume also constitutes an interpretive work reflecting historical consensus among Stone-Campbell scholars, even as it attempts to present a fair, representative picture of the rich heritage that is the Stone-Campbell Movement.
Scores of photographs and illustrations (many quite rare) enrich and enliven the text, and an extensive, carefully prepared index facilitates ready access to important information throughout the volume.

Jigsaw Guide To Making Sense Of The World
$18.99Add to cartIntroduction: Seeing The Big Picture
1. Jigsaw: Be Prepared To See It!
2. Truth: Be Prepared To Handle It!
3. Belief: Be Prepared To Share It!
4. Faith: Be Prepared To Anchor It!
5. Doubt: Be Prepared To Deal With It!
6. The Big Picture: Be Prepared To Show It!Additional Info
Puzzled about life? Sometimes the world doesn’t make sense. Things seem random and disconnected, and we wonder if there’s any purpose to it all, any meaning to our lives. But what if everything could make sense? What if the pieces actually do fit together? Alex McLellan says that figuring out life is like assembling a jigsaw puzzle. You don’t have to have every piece in place before you start to see the big picture. You just need enough important pieces to fit together. There are enough clues in the universe and in human experience to discern that there is an underlying order and significance to all things. McLellan explores competing views of truth and belief and examines the nature of doubt. Ultimately Christianity is reasonable because it resonates with how we see and experience the world. Even if we don’t have absolute certainty, we have enough to go on to have confidence in the Christian worldview. You don’t have to have all the answers. Just start putting the pieces together, and the big picture will emerge. -
Yoking Up With Jesus And Kingdom Of God Government
$19.95Add to cartWinning in any area of life requires understanding spiritual laws pertaining to the Kingdom of God. We must gain the knowledge of God laws and principles; then we are to obtaining wisdom on how to implement them into our lives. My life was changed by applying the Kingdom of God laws and principles to my life situations. Many people have come to understand God’s natural laws and work with them. Whether or not they are saved, they have been able to develop and invent wonderful things just by discovering God’s laws. For example, mankind has taken the laws of aerodynamics to cause an airplane to fly. They developed the television, the Internet, and other forms of communication and entertainment in the field of electronics. Just the discovery of electricity and the laws governing it have revolutionized our lives. Jesus said… I give unto the Keys to the Kingdom of God… referred to the laws, and principle by which the Kingdom of God operates. There are progressive steps associated with operating the Laws of the kingdom of God just like there are steps to overriding the natural law of Gravity and, and if we are to be successful in accessing the blessings of God we must know these necessary steps, and execute them in order to receive the blessings of the Kingdom of God.As born-again Christians we are ambassadors and citizens of another government, meaning that heaven is our country, but now we need to learn how to operate in the kingdom. There are laws and a constitution for operating in the kingdom of God, just as there are laws for operating in the world’s governments. When we understand the laws of God’s system, we can access our inheritance and live the abundant life that Jesus provides for His own. (John 10:10.)

Often this world seems like a nightmare. Human trafficking, young girls trapped in brothels, child soldiers forced to become killers, unchecked plagues and diseases, economic injustice and the oppression of the poor. Millions around the world are trapped in this nightmare, and we may feel helpless to do anything about it. But God has a dream. York Moore paints a vivid picture of how the dream of God is breaking into history to make all things new. Through the death and resurrection of Jesus, God is bringing an end to the world’s nightmare of sin and death. Scripture’s vision of Jesus’ end-time work shows how the wrongs will be made right, and God’s just judgment is good news for the world. Unpacking how the Bible describes the last things, Moore shows how we can partner with God as he brings his dream to reality. Every time a well is dug for a community, food is provided for the hungry or sex traffickers are brought to justice, the dream begins to take hold. This is no mere wishful thinking. The dream of God is more real than your dreams could ever imagine. It is what we were created for. So wake up from the nightmare and join in what God is doing in the world. And flourish as your own dreams are transformed by God’s dream for all creation. -

NotesAdditional Info
What’s at stake in our worship? Everything. Worship is the dangerous act of waking up to God and God’s purposes in the world. But something has gone wrong with our worship. Too often worship has become a place of safety and complacency, a narrowly private experience in which solitary individuals only express their personal adoration. Even when we gather corporately, we often close our eyes to those around us, focusing on God but ignoring our neighbor. But true biblical worship does not merely point us upward–it should turn us outward as well. In this prophetic wake-up call for the contemporary church, pastor Mark Labberton reconnects Christian worship with biblical justice. From beginning to end, worship must pursue justice and seek righteousness, translating into transformed lives that care for the poor and the oppressed. Labberton shows how to move beyond the comfort of safe worship to authentic worship that is awake to the needs of the world. -
Christian Participants Guide (Student/Study Guide)
$12.99Add to cartWhat does it mean to be a Christian?
Ask 100 people that question and you are likely to get 100 different answers. One reason people have such difficulty defining what a Christian should be is that the Bible never gives a definition. The followers of Jesus did not defer to themselves as Christians, it was a label placed on them from the outside. The early believers called themselves disciples, and the Bible is very clear in defining what a disciple looks like.
Jesus gave his disciples one word that should define them. What if we as his followers embodied this one word? What if our behavior was so consistent with this word that folks around us were drawn to us—and to God?
In Christian, you will learn:
What one word should be descriptive of every disciple
How Jesus followers should treat those who are outside the faith
Why people love Jesus but can’t stand his followersThis study guide with help you dig deeper into the teachings from Andy Stanley on the corresponding DVD (sold separately) and includes discussion questions for individuals and/or small groups, between-session devotions, DVD teaching overviews, and a leader’s guide.

Bibliography
Appendix: Letters To The North American ChurchAdditional Info
The world has changed. A century ago, Christianity was still primarily centered in North America and Europe. By the dawn of the twenty-first century, Christianity had become a truly global faith, with Christians in Asia, Africa and Latin America outpacing those in the rest of the world. There are now more Christians in China than in all of Europe, more Pentecostals in Brazil than in the United States, and more Anglicans in Kenya than in Great Britain, Canada and the United States combined. Countries that were once destinations for western missionaries are now sending their own missionaries to North America. Given these changes, some think the day of the Western missionary is over. Some are wary that American mission efforts may perpetuate an imperialistic colonialism. Some say that global outreach is best left to indigenous leaders. Others simply feel that resources should be focused on the home front. Is there an ongoing role for the North American church in global mission? Missions specialist Paul Borthwick brings an urgent report on how the Western church can best continue in global mission. He provides a current analysis of the state of the world and how Majority World leaders perceive North American Christians’ place. Borthwick offers concrete advice for how Western Christians can be involved without being paternalistic or creating dependency. Using their human and material resources with wise and strategic stewardship, North Americans can join forces with the Majority World in new, interdependent ways to answer Gods call to global involvement. In this critical age, the global body of Christ needs one another more than ever. Discover how the Western church can contribute to a new era of mission marked by mutuality, reciprocity and humility. -

Evangelization Of The World
$69.99Add to cartWritten in an engaging style and intended largely for a lay audience, The Evangelization of the World tells the remarkable story of how Christianity grew from an insignificant Jewish sect in the first century until, by the beginning of the twenty-first century, it had become the world’s first truly global religion.
The book is careful to explain historical context and mission theory, but the foci of the narrative are the great personalities of mission- the Apostle Paul, St. Martin of Tours, St. Patrick, St. Francis Xavier, John Eliot, Count Von Zinzendorf, William Carey, Robert Morrison, David Livingstone, Mary Slessor, Albert Schweitzer, and many others- who make this account of the expansion of the church a fascinating and often dramatic tale.
In addition, the book does not neglect the great mission conferences of the twentieth century, nor does it avoid the controversial aspects of mission that, in many instances, continue to vex the movement today.

Together they walk through deepening stages of faith as they discern how God is calling them to live.

Amazing Power Of Grace
$15.49Add to cart“My grace is sufficient for you for my strength is made perfect in weakness;” Believe it and your situation will change. This book is all about living by grace: A way of life that most people do not know about. People are going through tough times. They have to deal with multiple issues in their lives, and do not know that there is abundance of grace to help them in their life’s situations. There is grace for every situation under the sun. There is grace for you, waiting to be discovered. ABOUT THE BOOK Everybody who would like to receive God’s grace should read this book and find out how easily it can be discovered. Anyone, who would like to receive the full richness of God’s abiding grace, should read this book in its entirety to find out how easily it will be revealed.” “I feel Humphrey Akparah has placed a lot of deep thought and emotional concern in his decision to write about God’s grace in this book. He defines grace, provides many examples of grace, looks at grace from many angles, shows that grace is ever present and backs it up with many Bible quotations so that anyone, who doubts its presence, has the opportunity to look into the Scriptures and find those quotations for him/herself. He makes grace a very simple and uncomplicated source of power which can be obtained by each and every person who desires it. He/she only has to believe in God and ask for His grace through Jesus Christ. He explains thoroughly why you cannot earn grace. You must ask for it, but only God can provide it. And God decides who receives His grace, when he/she receives it and for what purpose it is given. Rod Woolridge

Boundless Blessings And Gods Grace
$13.95Add to cartPeople Cynthia encountered on her breast cancer journey profoundly changed her perspective on life. They were varied ages and came from different circumstances, but the common thread they had was the fear when hearing the word “cancer.” Often she was a reluctant participant during her walk, knowing she had no choice if she intended to win her battle. She encouraged others with her smile, positive attitude, words, and actions.
Cynthia understands that within each of us is a fighting spirit, and hopefully, a recognition that we are not in total control of our lives; God is, and he will determine our passage from this world. Until then, we need to accept the difficulties that we encounter in our lives with dignity, grace, determination, and knowing that God is constantly by our side.

If You Get There Before I Do
$30.99Add to cartStorm Clouds Gathering …
In contrast to these busy first few weeks of establishing back-to-school routines, as well as the uncertainty of medical tests for Kjrsten, I reflected back on the quiet respite we’d had over the past summer.
One of our favorite summer activities was to sit on the long, covered front porch of our home and watch the storms as they rolled in from the west across Clear Creek. We’d listen for the thunder and see the lightning striking at the bottom of the hill as the storm climbed upward and through the cornfield to the edge of our yard. We were relieved as it rumbled noisily over the top of our house without leaving any damage as it continued its steady march to the east.
Little did we know what kind of storm was brewing for our perfect little family.

Heaven On Earth
$18.99Add to cartMany approach the Beatitudes as if they were a list of steps to be taken on the road to personal happiness. Or buttons to be pushed to secure God’s favor in pursuit of one’s own agenda.
But when we see what ws transpiring in Matthew 5, we realize the Beatitudes are less about what we do and more about what God is doing – what God values, how God operates, what God is up to in our world.
The Beatitudes are Jesus’ declaration of where “the good life” is. They comprise an invitation to immerse ourselves in the good life and experience a river of joy running through us to transform the world around us.

Great House Of God
$19.99Add to cartGod’s greatest desire is to be your dwelling place. The home for your heart.
He doesn’t want to be merely a weekend getaway. He has no interest in being a Sunday bungalow or even a summer cottage. He wants to be your mailing address, your point of reference, your home…always. He wants you to live in the Great House of God.
Using the Lord’s Prayer as a floor plan, bestselling author Max Lucado takes you on a tour of the home God intended for you. Warm your heart by the fire in the living room. Nourish your spirit in the kitchen. Seek fellowship in the family room. Step into the hallway and find forgiveness.

Next Door Savior
$19.99Add to cartWe applaud men for doing good things.
We enshrine God for doing great things.
But what about a man who does God things?
One thing is certain. We can’t ignore him. If these moments are factual, if the claim of Christ is actual, then he was, at once, man and God.
The single most significant person who ever lived. Forget MVP. He is the entire league. The head of the parade? Hardly. No one else shares the street. Who comes close? Humanity’s best and brightest fade like dime-store rubies next to him.
Dismiss him? We can’t. Resist him? Equally difficult. Why would we want to?
Don’t we need a God-man Savior? A just-God Jesus could make us, but not understand us. A just-man Jesus could love us, but never save us. But a God-man Jesus?
Near enough to touch. Strong enough to trust. A next door Savior.

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.

Picture a gigantic cruise ship filled with happy people. It’s the S.S. Evangelical Gospel. In the midst of their fun and excitement, passengers have not noticed holes in the ship’s side under the water line. Well-meaning leaders are attempting to plug these holes with new methods, technology, social activism and cultural savvy. All these are important, yet the structure of the ship remains compromised by years of neglect.” In this thoroughly revised fourth edition of the now classic Tell the Truth, Will Metzger reinstate the truth framework necessary for the survival of evangelicalism. Biblical illiteracy among evangelicals is on the rise. Theological discernment between truth and error is increasingly elusive. We need to be recalibrated not to the changing times but to the changeless gospel. As useful as it is passionate, Tell the Truth will refocus and re-energize a whole new generation to communicate the whole gospel, wholly by grace, truthfully and lovingly. Includes a study guide and new training materials for personal witnessing! -
Chasing The Divine In The Holy Land
$21.99Add to cartDo you ever wonder what it would be like to trace the footsteps of Jesus in the Holy Land — to swim in the Sea of Galilee, to walk the Via Dolorosa, to kneel on Golgotha? Or maybe you’ve already visited the Holy Land and you know what a life-changing experience it is. If so, then this book is for you.
When Ruth Everhart was given the opportunity to travel to the Holy Land as one of several ministers taking part in a documentary about pilgrimage, she jumped at the opportunity. Little did she know just how demanding — yet, ultimately, rewarding — her transformation from Presbyterian minister, wife, and mom to pilgrim would be. Candid, down-to-earth, and delightful, Ruth recounts her experiences in Chasing the Divine in the Holy Land, inviting readers to journey alongside her on an unforgettable Holy Land pilgrimage.

1-2 Timothy And Titus
$37.99Add to cartIf Paul didn’t write the Pastoral Epistles, how can we preach from them — and why should we? The academy’s queries about the authorship of the Pastorals have had a deleterious result in the academy, Robert Wall believes, with a trickle-down effect among the church’s clergy who rarely teach or preach from these letters. In this paragraph-by-paragraph theological commentary on 1 and 2 Timothy and Titus Wall powerfully demonstrates the ongoing relevance and authority of these canonical epistles for the church today. Uniquely, Wall applies a “Rule of Faith” methodology — five core beliefs articulated in Tertullian’s Prescription Against Heretics — for interpreting the texts as sacred Scripture. Also, interspersed throughout the commentary are case studies, stories of prominent Christian leaders and faith communities that vividly instantiate key themes of the Pastorals. Wall’s innovative yet reverent approach will revive the interest of students, pastors, and other Christian leaders in the Pastoral Epistles.

$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?

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.”

Calvin And The Reformed Tradition
$44.00Add to cartRichard Muller, a world-class scholar of the Reformation era, examines the relationship of Calvin’s theology to the Reformed tradition, indicating Calvin’s place in the tradition as one of several significant second-generational formulators. Muller argues that the Reformed tradition is a diverse and variegated movement not suitably described either as founded solely on the thought of John Calvin or as a reaction to or deviation from Calvin, thereby setting aside the old “Calvin and the Calvinists” approach in favor of a more integral and representative perspective. Muller offers historical corrective and nuance on topics of current interest in Reformed theology, such as limited atonement/universalism, union with Christ, and the order of salvation.

Open Place : The Ministry Of Group Spiritual Direction
$28.95Add to cartWritten from an ecumenical standpoint as a practical aid for moving those experienced in individual spiritual direction toward group practices
This book responds to the movement to expand spiritual direction beyond the classic one-with-one model. Group spiritual direction as the potential to offer the rich experience of individual spiritual direction to a much wider audience, yet very little has been written to provide guidance for starting such groups.
This book responds to that challenge. It outlines ways that a diverse and ecumenical group of spiritual directors worked to initiate groups in multiple contexts. It examines the many variables – among directors, directees, even meeting spaces – that affect and enliven this ministry. And it summarizes pitfalls, successes, and discoveries.

Courting Cate
$16.00Add to cartWhen Amish farmer Pete Treger moves to Paradise Township, Pennsylvania, seeking a better life, he meets sisters Cate and Betsy Miller. Both are beautiful, but older sister Cate is known more for her sharp tongue and fiery temper than her striking appearance. Betsy, on the other hand, is sweet and flirty–and seems to have attracted most of the bachelors in Lancaster County!
However, the sisters’ wealthy father has made one hard and fast rule: elder sister must marry first, before the younger can even start courting. Unfortunately for poor Betsy, and for the men who want to court her, her older sister, Cate, doesn’t have any suitors–until Pete comes to town, that is.
Though he finds both sisters attractive, something about Cate’s feisty demeanor appeals to him. Soon the other bachelors in the district convince Pete to court Cate. She hardly seems receptive to his overtures, though. Instead, she’s immediately suspicious of his interest.

Change Of Fortune
$18.00Add to cartLady Eliza Sumner is on a mission. Her fortune was the last thing she had left after losing her father, her fiance, and her faith. Now, masquerading as Miss Eliza Sumner, governess-at-large, she’s determined to find the man who ran off with her fortune, reclaim the money, and head straight back to London.
Mr. Hamilton Beckett, much to his chagrin, is the catch of the season, and all the eyes of New York society–all the female ones, at least–are on him. He has no plans to marry again, especially since his hands are full keeping his business afloat while raising his two children alone.
Eliza’s hapless attempts to regain her fortune unexpectedly put her right in Hamilton’s path. The discovery of a common nemesis causes them to join forces and, before she knows it, Eliza has a whole retinue of people helping her. Eliza’s determination not to trust anyone weakens when everyone’s antics and bumbling efforts to assist her make her wonder if there might be more important things than her fortune and independence.
When all of Hamilton’s and Eliza’s best-laid plans fall by the wayside, it will take a riot of complications for them to realize that God just might have had a better plan in mind all along.

Judge
$18.00Add to cartThe last thing Kien Lantec expects on his first day of military leave is to receive marching orders from his Creator, the Infinite. Orders that don’t involve destroyer-racing or courting the love of his life, Ela. Adding to Kien’s frustration, his Infinite-ordained duties have little to do with his skills as a military judge-in-training. His mission? To warn the people of ToronSea against turning their backs to the Infinite to worship a new goddess.
But why Kien? Isn’t this the role of a true prophet, such as Ela of Parne?

Worthy To Escape
$24.95Add to cartMany Christians follow the popular pretribulation rapture view. They expect that Jesus will rescue them “just-intime” before the tribulations of the Antichrist. However, few people realize that every single biblical promise of being raptured at that time is conditional on personal spiritual readiness. Eminent Christian leaders such as A.B. Simpson, founder of the Christian and Missionary Alliance, as well as Hudson Taylor, founder of the China Inland Mission, first taught this biblical perspective of a conditional rapture.
In their captivating account, the authors take their readers on a fascinating journey through the pages of the Bible, showing how biblical prophecies from Daniel to Revelation point toward not just one but two raptures: a conditional first fruits rapture for the ready “wise virgins” of the church, and a later rapture for “foolish virgin” believers who are spiritually unprepared.
Based on rigorous biblical exegesis and conservative scholarship, the authors systematically examine inconsistencies within the pretribulational rapture doctrine. They point out how these contradictions can be resolved through a two-fold rapture, which draws on insights from the increasingly popular pre-wrath rapture position. Packed with fresh scriptural insights, this book will prepare and equip you for the times ahead!

Running For Recovery
$27.99Add to cartIn a physical marathon, the “wall” shows up about mile twenty or twenty-one; when this happens, mind and body shake hands to say “we quit.” That’s where most runners will shut down, unless they reach down into their identity as spirit. To the question “Who am I; what is my identity?” God’s answer is “I am spirit; I have a mind; and I live in a body.” So, to break through the “wall” requires a hierarchy of spirit over mind over body. God’s Word will address our spirit when mind and body are out of it, thereby setting Word over spirit over mind over body to keep the feet moving. Project this to other marathons: mental, spiritual, emotional, interpersonal, occupational, financial, etc..
Bottom line: Can the reader finish the book, put it down, and say: “Wow, look what God’s Word performed; I want to be in the Word; I want the Word to be in me”? The closer the reader comes to God’s Word, the closer they come to Him (John 1:14). The Word will have become “sent out (Isaiah 55:10-11), active and alive (Hebrews 4:12), watched over and performed” (Jeremiah 1:12) in their lives!

Precious Holy SpiritA message to loving parents:
Following a prayerful and deep desire to serve my Lord in any way He might lead me, “The Bible, in Story, from the Beginning” came into existence.
I have no children, nor have I ever lived or worked with them, yet our Lord chose me to write the Bible in story form for His children. I prayed for His guidance, for I had never written anything in my life.
Dear Mother Teresa was quoted as saying in a documentary, “The Holy Spirit directed me all the way. I just pushed the pencil.”
I can honestly say this publication was also written by the most famous author of all times, Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Even the title was given to me by the Holy Spirit.
With just a glance through this book, you will find the stories are written in chronological order, with a great deal of direct dialogue and biblical teachings. They are easy for children to understand and are written in a very personal way.
I pray you and your loved ones will be blessed and enjoy “The Bible, in Story, from the Beginning”, which our Lord has provided for you.

Track Down
$22.95Add to cart“Neither give place to the devil.” (Eph 4:27)
“You accepted Christ without repentance. That’s why you could keep cult materials in the drawer and the Bible on the desk. Your former cult members call you DeBoss; your church members call you Pastor.”
The Queen roared. Her voice rumbled as in a dark cave. Soon, a croaky voice came on. “He’s still our man, though a traitor.”
Many Christians believe the devil exists only on the pages of the Bible. Many collect items associated with the devil or Satan worship; call them Artifacts. Many more believe their earlier romance with the devil is over. Forget it The enemy never gives up. He searches for a way to recapture his former captive: an opening through sin, or a link through his patented items.
Track Down provides insight into how the Devil latches on to people’s ignorance–not sin this time–to frustrate deserters who take up arms against his kingdom by preaching Christ.
This is not about Satanism or demonism, but real life spiritual experience that beclouds the intellect.

Simplicity Of The Gospel Of Jesus Christ
$22.95Add to cartThis book is Divinely inspired and proclaims the need for all Christians to believe all the words of Jesus Christ – exactly as He says in a correctly translated Holy Bible, such as the King James Version and those based on it. Herein includes the “First Principles of The Oracles of God”, and is for all who sincerely wish that God, The Creator of all heaven and earth, will intervene in the affairs of life and in world circumstances. All that Jesus says and is given us through His holy apostles – very much ‘do’ apply to all Christians today, the same as yesterday; and will apply forever. As Jesus says, “My words will by no means pass away” (Mark 24:35). Therefore, this book is for all of God’s children to get understanding of the Lord’s spiritual precepts and commands. The reader will review from the Holy Scriptures how every Christian should be (especially now) diligently seeking a close relationship with Jesus Christ – to know “His Ways”. And, know how He has ‘given us’ spiritual Authority to reverse the rising social turmoil and stop the devastation that has been plaguing this nation, and over the earth. This book will enlighten every reader to know how we need to seriously examine ourselves and our relationship with Jesus Christ. And that we need to do so quickly, rather than blaming others (and each other) for out troubles; and to know that the Way to life abundantly is to truly be in Jesus Christ – not relying on government policies and programs.

Gods Champion : The Life Of Job
$17.95Add to cartJob, God’s champion, offers experiential insight into the nature and workings of God. Job is not the main character of the book of Job; rather, it is God. The opening scene is in heaven, and God’s relationship with humanity is challenged. Job’s life becomes the arena of contention in this attack on God. As a result, Job loses family, wealth, and health. Job and his friends argue over God’s actions and men’s experiences in the world. God clarifies that Job spoke what was right about Him.
Here are a few important lessons from Job’s life:
* God wants a relationship with you.
* We need a mediator for our spiritual condition.
* God operates for His own glory.
* Suffering may be a part of God’s plan.Don’t let the suffering temper your enthusiasm for the understanding offered by God’s champion. Job’s life illustrates a substantive spiritual relationship with the God of heaven. The more we know Him, the more we will value the relationship. Our relationship with Him facilitates our being made in His image. Learn to be a champion!

Loving The Poor Saving The Rich
$35.00Add to cartThe issue of wealth and poverty and its relationship to Christian faith is as ancient as the New Testament and reaches even further back to the Hebrew Scriptures. From the beginnings of the Christian movement, the issue of how to deal with riches and care for the poor formed an important aspect of Christian discipleship. This careful study shows how early Christians adopted, appropriated, and transformed the Jewish and Greco-Roman moral teachings and practices of giving and patronage. As Helen Rhee illuminates the early Christian understanding of wealth and poverty, she shows how it impacted the formation of Christian identity. She also demonstrates the ongoing relevance of early Christian thought and practice for the contemporary church.

Redating The New Testament
$45.00Add to cart‘if you want to find out how Robinson manages to date the whole of the NT before AD 70, you will have to follow him in this long and Oinstaking detective work. And the trail is indeed long, but by no means laborious, for Dr Robinson’s style is easy, even conversational. A book as much for the beginner as for the academic NT scholar’ (CEM Review), ‘The greatest pleasure Dr Robinson gives is purely intellectual. His book is a prodigious virtuoso exercise in inductive reasoning, and an object-lesson in the nature of historical argument and historical knowledge. It is, I think, the finest of all his writings, and its energy is marvellous’ (TheListener). ‘in fewer than 400 pages, Bishop Robinson challenges almost all the judgments which teachers of the New Testament throughout the world commend to their pupils on the dating of the NT books : his reassessment has the simple effect of having them all completed before AD 70. The rumour of this revolutionary conclusion has already given the book notoriety and led some either to dismiss it out of hand or to lose patience with what is taken to be frivolous donnish antics. It would be a great pity if this were to become its dominant reputation, for it is, as we should expect, a work of extensive and careful scholarship, raising serious if unfashionable questions … I am grateful to Bishop Robinson for compelling me to reopen my mind on any problems in the NT and happy to acknowledge with him that ‘all the statements’ which he puts forward ‘should be taken as questions.’ Many will profit from having to think afresh and to realize how little we truly know about the origin of those brief but powerful old books’ (J. L. Houlden in New Fire).

Laying Down The Sword
$15.99Add to cartPhilip Jenkins delivers a fearless examination of the dark and violent verses of the Bible-and a call for us to read them anew in pursuit of a richer, more honest faith. From “one of America’s best scholars of religion” (The Economist), this daring exploration of the Scripture’s most difficult passages forces us to confront and accept the violence that was as integral to the formulation of Christianity’s message as it was for many other of the world’s religions, and shows us how a full understanding of the Scripture will allow us to finally move towards a more peaceful, spiritual world. Readers of Bart Ehrman’s God’s Problem, John Selby Spong’s The Sins of Scripture, and Jenkins’s own The Jesus Wars, as well as every Christian eager to square the recurrent violence of the Scripture with Christianity’s enduring message of peace, will find these difficult questions explored in full in Laying Down the Sword.
