Ultimate Life : A Novel
$18.82A profound follow-up to the bestselling book and major motion picture, The Ultimate Gift. When Jason Stevens found out he had to jump through hoops to maybe get an unnamed inheritance from his billionaire grandfather, he was not amused. By the time he’d finished learning the lessons he’d become a different man. Ready to tackle the duties of running a multi-billion dollar trust, he is once again derailed, this time by his pugnacious family. Not content with their cattle ranches and oil fields, his aunts, uncles, and even his parents are determined to see every last dime entrusted to their own self-serving pockets.
With none of the reluctance he initially showed for the Gift, he eagerly accepts the challenge and pushes himself to prove not only to his family and the court but also to the world, that with determination and the simple tenets of the Gift, anyone can lead The Ultimate Life.

Simple Faith Of Mister Rogers
$18.99Tom Brokaw of NBC Nightly News once said of the American icon Fred Rogers, “Mister Rogers was an ordained minister, but he never talked about God on his program.

What started as a television interview turned into a wonderful friendship spanning dozens of letters detailing the driving force behind this gentle man of extraordinary influence. Educator? Philosopher? Psychologist? Minister? Here is an intimate portrait of the real Mister Rogers. The Simple Faith of Mr. Rogers focuses on Mr. Rogers’ spiritual legacy, but it is much more than that. It shows us a man who, to paraphrase the words of St. Francis of Assisi, “preached the gospel at all times; when necessary he used words.”

Beauty Secrets Of The Bible
$16.99Every woman can accentuate her God-given beauty using the hidden treasures of the ancient Scriptures.Ginger Garrett reveals how every woman can accent her God-given beauty using the hidden treasures of the ancient Scriptures-where every scent and every act of beautification had spiritual and emotional significance.A woman’s longing to present herself as physically beautiful is universal. Beauty is extolled throughout the Bible as complementing God’s plan for women’s lives. There are currently no books that examine the beauty practices of biblical women, the plants and products God created to accent their beauty, and the spiritual roots of feminine rituals.Beautiful women abound in the Bible: Queen Esther, the bride of Solomon, Delilah, Rachel, Sarah, and more. Their beauty was a gift from God, and God also supplied the many foods, spices, and oils that perfected each woman’s appearance. In Beauty Secrets of the Bible, Ginger Garrett helps readers accent their God-given beauty using these secrets.Women who read the book will understand the essential oils and fragrances mentioned in Scripture (and why they are making a comeback) and will be able to create a regimen based on all-natural ancient products and techniques. Beauty Secrets of the Bible gives readers what other beauty books lack: the knowledge that a woman’s unique earthly beauty is indeed a blessing from God that can be cultivated.

Faith Undone : The Emerging Church A New Reformation Or An End Time Decepti
$17.58Proponents of the emerging church say it is not a church at all-it’s only a dialogue or conversation. Some say the emerging church is about reinventing Christianity for the 21st century. So what does that mean? Is it possible for Christianity to be reinvented and still be Christianity? Faith Undone answers these questions and shows how this movement is opening the doors for apostasy and deception within Christendom through mysticism, interspirituality and a denial of the very gospel message itself. Some of the issues Faith
Undone addresses:
* Contemplative spirituality and mysticism: The “life” of the emerging church
* The new missiology of the emerging church: “You can keep your own religion; just add Jesus to the equation.”
* Eucharistic evangelization and the road to Rome
* An Emergent View on the Future of Planet Earth
* Purpose Driven Ecumenism: Part of the emerging church’s new reformation

Epilogue: The Meaning Of FaithfulnessAdditional Info
For many congregational and denominational leaders, the goal for churches experiencing declining worship attendance is to turn those congregations around. The “turnaround church” is one that has stagnated or is in decline. The old trends are reversed, new members are added, and everyone rejoices in this story of a congregation restored to health and vitality. But what if the metaphors of decline, stagnation, and loss of health just aren’t getting to the problem? What if the situation is much worse than what those ways of describing it imply? What if the congregation is spiritually dead? The only solution is resurrection. Churches that have lost their sense of mission, that exist only to provide fellowship for the “members of the club,” that expect their leaders to focus solely on ministering to the members’ personal spiritual needs; these churches have died to the purpose of the New Testament church, to make disciples of Jesus Christ. They cannot be turned around; they must come to life again. The key to that resurrection is leaders who are not afraid to diagnose the problem for what it really is, and who realize that resurrection is what being a Christian is about.The goal of this book is to guide the leaders of these churches through the painful, yet ultimately life-giving work of leading a church to new life in the Spirit. If you want to find new life for your church, read on . . .

Ecumenical Reception : Its Challenge And Opportunity
$25.99In 1988 William G. Rusch offered a volume tracing the developments of the idea of reception to that time. During the intervening years, both reflection about reception and the experience of attempting to engage in it have progressed rapidly. Rusch believes now is the time to re-examine the concept. The first chapter explains some preliminary concepts on this idea and how it is used in various fields. Chapter two eyes reception from a Biblical perspective as a Christian theological process. “Classical” reception in the complete history of the church to the twentieth century is examined in chapter four. The fifth chapter deals with the changes in the concept in the new millennium, focusing on “ecumenical” reception. In Chapter six, Rusch shares examples – successes and failures -of the ongoing process of this new concept. Chapter seven deals with solution to some of the failures examined and offers two new ecumenical concepts: “differentiate consensus” and “differentiated participation.” Finally, the eighth chapter provides a summary and a final word on the topic. Acknowledging the constant growth in understanding the concept of reception, Rusch provides a major treatise on the topic with Ecumenical Reception but leaves the door open for a constant renewal of understanding for the future.

Politics Of Jesus
$21.17Who was Jesus? And how was this first-century political revolutionary, whose teachings are meant to lead the way to freedom, turned into a meek and mild servant of the status quo? How is it possible to profess a belief in Jesus, yet ignore the suffering of the poor and the needy? Just how truly faithful to the vision of Jesus are the many politicians who claim to be Christian? These are the kinds of questions Obery Hendricks, a biblical scholar, activist, and minister, asks in this provocative new book. In this day and age of heated political debate, Hendricks’s The Politics of Jesus stands out as much for its brilliant re-creation of the life and mind of Jesus of Nazareth as for its scathing critique of modern politicians “of faith.”

Jesus Priorities : 8 Essential Habits
$15.99“What would Jesus do?” is a great guiding question for living the Christian life, but it presupposes that we know the Bible well enough to come up with the answer. Maricle helps by mapping out the main priorities Jesus modeled in his life and ministry. He begins by asking a simple question: “What did Jesus most frequently and consistently say and do during his public ministry that would be instructive for us?” A formal analysis of the Gospels yields 8 priorities to emulate: healing, love, prayer, confidence in the treasures in heaven, oneness with God, spreading the word, innocence, and humility.
Maricle shapes these principles into a handbook for discerning right living in relation to God and others according to the ministry of Christ. It’s a warm-hearted, straightforward read, with discussion grounded in down-to-earth examples from preschoolers, Mother Teresa, Brother Lawrence, and baseball. His rock-solid essentials help one recognize oneself and find energy for the challenges of the authentic Christian life.
This book can be used as a personal spiritual survival guide, a small group study, or a church-wide challenge. Succinct summaries, questions, prayers, and scripture charts help readers internalize and articulate these faith essentials.

Practice Of Preaching (Revised)
$32.99The best-selling preaching textbook – now revised!
Paul Wilson’s The Practice of Preaching has introduced a generation of students not only to the “how” of preaching, but also to the”why.” In this thoroughly revised edition, Wilson has strengthened this essential textbook even more, principally in two ways. First, he has further emphasized the role of practices in preaching, leading the reader through the preacher’s week as she or he constructs and prepares to deliver the sermon. Second, he has surveyed the current debate in homiletics over what preaching the text means, and constructed a far-reaching theological argument that the sermon’s most central task should be about preaching the gospel.

Person Grace And God
$31.99It is nearly impossible to do theology without some understanding of the concept of person. What one believes about the person influences virtually every significant Christian doctrine. In Person, Grace and God, Phillip Rolnick details and clarifies this key theological concept in the face of challenges from biology, post-modernity and anthropology. He begins by tracing the history and linguistic background of the concept, and then engages evolutionary biology in a heated dialogue on the place of love. He next turns to postmodernity, beginning with the challenges to the concept of the person by Nietszche, Lyotard, Derrida, Rorty and Taylor, fairly answering each in turn. Finally, Rolnick develops his own constructive proposals, first presenting grace as an integral element in the immanent Trinity, then considering “The Human Person” in the framework of relations to God. Addressing both philosophical and scientific conceptions of the person, Person, Grace, and God makes a compelling case for the importance of the person, grounded in creation and the trinity.

Greed As Idolatry
$25.99The first full-length study of this intriguing Pauline expression
What are the origin and meaning of the words “greed is idolatry” found in Ephesians 5:5 and Colossians 3:5? In what sense are the greedy guilty of idolatry? Many different answers have been given to this question throughout the history of interpretation. In fact, a consensus exists on only one score – that the expression serves to blacken greed.
Brian Rosner takes up the challenge of interpretation by tackling the phrase as a metaphor. With an in-depth study of the text from this vantage point, he concludes that the comparison of greed with idolatry teaches that to desire to acquire and keep for oneself more material goods is an attack on God’s exclusive rights to human love, trust, and obedience. Rosner’s work here has profound implications for theology and ethics today.

Seized By Truth
$31.99Shows how we read the Bible and interpret Scripture in order to live in grace-filled relation to God’s divine purpose
Green contends that when we approach the Bible as Scripture, the Bible then becomes our book; these Scriptures become our Scripture. We are not reading someone else’s mail – as though reading the Bible had to do foremost with recovering an ancient meaning intended for someone else and then translating its principles for use in our own lives.
Argues that when we encounter the Bible, the fundamental transformation takes place, not through the metamorphosis of an ancient message into a contemporary meaning, but as our lives are radically changed by means of God’s Word.
Concludes that reading the Bible as Scripture has less to do with what tools readers bring to the task, than with their dispositions as they engage Scripture.
Thus, readers come to the Bible, not so much to retrieve facts or to gain information, but to be formed and ultimately, transformed.Add to cartin stock within 3-5 days of online purchase

There’s a different kind of church conversation going on these days–one that moves beyond just focusing on purpose, strategies, or recovering early church practices. Craig Van Gelder argues that understanding the nature of the church is foundational for clarifying the purpose of the church and for developing and organizing its ministry.
Moving beyond methods and techniques to create or sustain church growth, Van Gelder shows that when a church is focused on Spirit-led ministry, growth and development are the natural outcome.The Ministry of the Missional Church brings together theology and organizational theory in a way that inspires biblical and theological imagination about how to let the church be the church–a Spirit-led, missional community that seeks to participate fully in God’s mission in its particular place in the world.

3 Gospels : New Testament History Introduced By The Synoptic Problem
$49.98This is a book with a double thrust. Dr Mosse presents an unremittingly logical assault upon the Synoptic Problem which develops into a general treatment of the major issues in New Testament history. Repeatedly affirming the testimony of Papias and the Early Fathers, Mosse offers a carefully integrated case for early dates and traditional authorship of the three Synoptic Gospels and Acts in opposition to the redundant hypothesis of Q. This in turn leads into a study of Paul’s later career, including a detailed discussion of the dates and provenance of his later epistles.Along the way he addresses cruces such as the chronology of Jesus’ ministry in “Mark” and “John”; the day and date of the crucifixion; the identification and dates of Paul’s visits to Jerusalem; Paul’s ever-changing Corinthian itineraries; the date and addressees of Galatians; and many others. All this is supported by a wealth of reference material including a full chronology of the New Testament and a historical survey of all the epistles in their probable sequence. The end product has a wide appeal which will attract New Testament specialists as well as students of theology, preachers and laity seeking to refresh their understanding of modern New Testament scholarship.

Paradox In Christian Theology
$49.99How can Jesus be fully human and fully divine? How can God be three-in-one? James Anderson develops and defends a model of understanding paradoxical Christian doctrines according to which the presence of such doctrines is unsurprising and adherence to paradoxical doctrines can be entirely reasonable. As such, the phenomenon of theological paradox cannot be considered as a serious intellectual obstacle to belief in Christianity. The case presented in this book has significant implications for the practice of systematic theology, biblical exegesis, Christian apologetics, and philosophy.

Communion In The Spirit
$43.73This study explores the central connection Edwards drew between his doctrines of religious experience and the Trinity: the person and work of the Holy Spirit. Edwards envisioned the Spirit’s inter-Trinitarian work as the affectionate bond of union between the Father and the Son, a work which, he argued, is reduplicated in a finite way in the work of redemption. Salvation is ultimately all about being drawn in love into the Trinitarian life of the Godhead.

Biblical Greek Language And Lexicography
$32.99Frederick W. Danker is deservedly recognized as one of today’s foremost Greek lexicographers. Unique among contemporary biblical scholars, Danker has lived to see the publication of two major Greek dictionaries that he himself edited. While he was part of the editorial team that produced the second edition of A Greek-English Lexicon of the New Testament and Other Early Christian Literature, he alone thoroughly revised the entire dictionary to produce the third edition, popularly known as BDAG. Projects like these have considerably advanced New Testament lexicography in the twentieth century and have laid a solid foundation for further lexicographical work in the twenty-first. Biblical Greek Language and Lexicography celebrates the life and work of Professor Danker. In character with his contribution to Greek scholarship, the essays have been chosen to assist biblical Greek students and their teachers to develop a deeper understanding of aspects of Greek language and lexicography. Among the topics of discussion are the way one discovers the meaning of words, current tools available to students of language, and the approach being used in the latest New Testament and Septuagint Greek dictionaries. The book also features rich footnotes directing students to important Greek language resources, a selected bibliography of Danker’s publications, an appendix listing BDAG precursors, and four indexes – biblical references, Greek words, Hebrew forms, and grammatical and lexicographical terms. Sure to interest scholars, teachers, pastors, and students, this volume is both a worthy tribute to the career of Frederick Danker and a valuable presentation of the state of the art in Greek and biblical language studies.

1st And The Last
$26.99As Christians become more engaged with the reality of religious pluralism, many find themselves torn between two worthy goals – to be faithful to the lordship of Jesus Christ and to be open generously to possible truths found in other religions. In The First and the Last George Sumner offers a constructive way forward, showing how Christian theology can bring these two goals together. At stake in the current debate over religious pluralism is the issue not only of evangelism and mission but also of the Christian claim to the uniqueness of Jesus Christ. Sumner leads readers through the challenges and possibilities raised by this debate, and he outlines a distinctive new method for assessing from a Christian standpoint the claims and practices of neighboring faiths. The crux of Sumner’s approach is what he calls “final primacy,” a position that (1) sets non-Christian religions in relation to the unique mediating role of Jesus Christ and (2) relates the truth claims of other religions to the overall scheme of grace. Sumner goes on to demonstrate the effectiveness of this position in practical terms, using final primacy as a frame of reference for a number of twentieth-century theologies – namely, those of Barth, Rahner, and Pannenberg – and as a way of examining both Indian and African theologies against their respective backgrounds of Hinduism and tribal practices. Additionally, the book serves as an excellent introduction to the history of interfaith thought: Sumner both surveys how religious pluralism has been handled in the past and illustrates how the position of final primacy at once redefines and promotes its most pressing issue – interreligious dialogue. A provocative approach to religious pluralism sure to stir widespread discussion, The First and the Last provides valuable reading for anyone interested in theology, interfaith dialogue, and missions.

John Marco Allegro
$30.99This book is the first to fully explore the life and ideas of John Marco Allegro (1923-1988), freethinker and rebel, whose work on the Dead Sea Scrolls led him to challenge the church, the team of scholars in charge of editing the Scrolls, and most conventional assumptions about the development of Christianity. As the first British member of the Scrolls editing team, Allegro shared the excitement, the insights, and the eyestrain of deciphering these invaluable ancient fragments. He made it possible for the Copper Scroll, a mysterious listing of treasure, to be opened in Manchester and did much to focus worldwide attention on the Scrolls as a whole. But he made his name – or gained his notoriety – by questioning orthodox assumptions about the Christian church’s origins and authority. Allegro went on challenging the establishment all his life, and he relished the arguments he provoked. For over thirty years he campaigned for open access to the Scrolls and for wider debate about their significance. To him it was a campaign for free speech and free opinion. Judith Anne Brown’s John Marco Allegro is a fascinating, probing, inside account of this irrepressibly original man. Making extensive use of Allegro’s letters, lecture notes, draft manuscripts, and other previously unpublished writings, Brown brings to life afresh the extraordinary discoveries and debates that began in the caves by the Dead Sea over half a century ago.

Losers Loners And Rebels
$26.00The early years of adolescence are a tumultuous time, full of challenges and opportunities that can shape one’s whole life. In recent years several books have analyzed this period of life for girls, but this is the first book that investigates that interior life of boys as they develop their sense of self and begin the spiritual journey that will carry them throughout their lives.
The authors contend that adolescent boys often experience themselves at various times as losers, loners and rebels. As self-defined losers, boys begin to realize self-awareness; as loners they begin to understand their own relatedness to the larger world; as rebels they gain as sense of self-sufficiency. Through these common experiences of life, boys gain self-awareness, self transcendence, and self-sufficiency, concepts that take root in the spirituality that will last their lifetime.

Confessions Of An Adulterous Christian Woman
$14.99Confessions of an Adulterous Christian Woman offers a rare and honest look at the destructive descent into adultery and reveals the redeeming power of God’s grace and His ability to restore a ruined life. Author Lyndell Hetrick Holtz was a pastor’s wife, Bible study leader, and retreat speaker who never believed she would commit adultery. She thought her involvement with ministry gave her extra protection from the temptation to have an affair. But, in her forties, her life began to crumble, and suddenly adultery seemed to be the solution for an unhappy life and marriage. With emotion and conviction, Lyndell reflects on the disillusionment and faulty beliefs that led to destructive decisions. She tells of the heartache and pain she experienced when her affair was discovered and the resulting consequences, including the loss of her 25 year marriage, her beautiful home, her witness in the community, her friends, and the respect of her four adult children. It seemed as if her life was over and her relationship with Christ forever ruined.
But it was here, broken and sprawled in the dust of shame and defeat, where Lyndell encountered love unlike any she had ever known. With worship and humility, she shares how God lovingly embraced her shattered life and began to redeem, restore, and rebuild it in miraculous ways.
Confessions of an Adulterous Christian Woman gives women a first-hand look at the destruction of adultery and provides the awareness needed to avoid assuming that Christian women are immune to adultery’s snare. This powerful story examines the devastating effects of adultery, but more importantly, reveals a God who continues to write His story of redemption, restoration, and reconciliation on the broken lives of humanity, taking us, from utter despair to undying devotion to Him and the unconditional, healing love He gives.

Isaiah : Interpreted By Early Christian Medieval Commentators
$67.99In his extremely thorough work on Isaiah, Robert Wilken brings to bear his considerable knowledge of early Christianity. Drawing on writings of the church fathers — Eusebius of Caesarea, Ambrose, Jerome, Cyril of Alexandria, Theodoret of Cyrus, Bernard of Clairvaux, and nearly sixty others — all of them masterfully translated, this work allows the complex words of Isaiah to come alive.
Wilken’s selection of ancient commentators clearly illuminates how Isaiah was used by the New Testament writers and understood by the early church fathers. Each chapter begins with a modern English translation of the septuagint, prepared by Moises Silva. Editorial comments provide a foundation for understanding the excerpted commentaries and other writings that follow for each chapter.
Isaiah: Interpreted by Early Christian and Medieval Commentators is ideal for devotional and spiritual reading and for a deeper understanding of the church’s historical interpretation of this major prophet.

William Wilberforce : A Biography
$25.99A British human rights hero engagingly portrayed
In the 1780s, around 40,000 slaves a year were taken from Africa in British ships, on the notorious “Middle Passage,” to the Caribbean. In 1787, under an oak tree in Kent, the British Prime Minister, William Pitt, invited his friend William Wilberforce to introduce a parliamentary bill outlawing the slave trade. Neither of them imagined a 20 year political campaign that would consume the rest of Wilberforce’s life.
Born in Hull, England, to wealthy middle-class parents, Wilberforce entered Parliament and became a political celebrity in his day.
