Late Great United States
$17.00Add to cartIs it possible the United States, a superpower without peer in history, might not be a key player as the world makes its way down the road to the Battle of Armageddon?
This is the central question explored by prophecy expert Mark Hitchcock in The Late Great United States, a fascinating behind-the-headlines look at numerous current events and how they relate to what the Bible says about the last days.
Americans are accustomed to seeing their country center stage as a world power, but as Hitchcock carefully details, this may not be the case in the final scene. Based on extensive research of the Bible and other sources, The Late Great United States provides compelling and often surprising answers to questions like these:
*Does the Bible say anything about America in the last days?
*How could the U.S. fit into God’s prophetic plan?
*Will America survive?
*Might the anti-Christ come from America?
*Could America’s addiction to oil be her undoing?
*Will America be destroyed by a nuclear attack?
*Could America fall from within as a result of moral corruption?
*Is America still a “blessed” nation?
*How should individual Christians respond to a world in chaos?Regardless of America’s final fate and the outcome of dire events at the end of the age, Hitchcock urges us to find our hope in a God who will not forsake us-no matter what cataclysms we experience on earth.

Dethroning Jesus : Exposing Popular Cultures Quest To Unseat The Biblical C
$18.99Add to cartNew York Times best-selling author Darrell Bock teams with Daniel Wallace to help lay readers separate fact from fiction and help from hype in the recent best-selling Jesus books and television specials.There is a quest going on. It’s the quest to reduce Jesus to a mythic legend or to nothing more than a mere man. Scholars such as Elaine Pagels and James Tabor are using such recent discoveries as the Gospel of Judas and the Gospel of Thomas to argue that the Christ of Christianity is a contrived figure and that a different Christ-one human and not divine-is the “true” Christ. In his trademark easy-to-understand style Darrell Bock takes on these attempts to redefine Jesus in a convincing, winsome way that will help readers understand that the orthodox understanding of Christ and his divinity is as trustworthy and sure as it ever was. Joining Bock for the first time is fellow scholar Daniel Wallace.

Gifts Of The Small Church
$18.99Add to cartDizzying changes have taken place in American religious life in the last half century. Yet in spite of that fact, taking a snapshot of a “typical” Christian church in America would reveal a surprising number of small-to-mid-sized congregations, rooted in a local neighborhood or community, tied to a specific denomination, where most of the members know each others’ names, and hence are blessed (and cursed) with being the church together.
In this clear-eyed, humorous appraisal, Jason Byassee contends that the “church around the corner” occupies a particular place in the divine economy, that it is especially capable of forming us in the virtues, perspectives, and habits that make up the Christian life. Not that he romanticizes these churches, however. Having been a rural, small membership church pastor, Byassee knows too well the particular vices and temptations to which they are subject. But he also knows the particular graces they’ve been given, graces like the “prayer ladies,” those pillars of the congregation who, “when one told you she was praying for you it meant something. When one hugged you, you remembered all week. When one cooked for you the casserole tasted like love. And when you were around them you were in the presence of Jesus.”
Anyone who serves, or belongs to, a “church around the corner” will find their ministry strengthened by this enlivening, inspiring book.

Will Akira discover the threat against her before it’s too late? How will God turn a simple promise into bountiful Highland blessings?

Soundings In Kings
$32.00Add to cartThe reigning assumptions in 1970s and 1980s scholarship on 1 and 2 Kings, and indeed on all of the Deuteronomistic history, have come under serious question. How can differing views of that history be reconciled? What sources were available to the authors? Should we call them “authors”? How well do the Books of Kings fit into the larger history of which they are a part; just who composed that history, toward what end, and in what context? How do the assumptions of contemporary interpreters influence the answers we give to those questions? In Soundings in Kings, international scholars pursue these and related questions by examining 1 and 2 Kings as an independent work, identifying new methods and models for envisioning the social location of the authors (or redactors) of Kings, the nature of the intended audience or audiences, and the political and rhetorical implications of its construction. Soundings in Kings demonstrates the role of Kings as a cornerstone work within the Hebrew Bible, a crossroads between prophecy, poetry, wisdom, ancestral and national narrative, and ritual instruction.

Lord Give Me Patience
$15.99Add to cartWe are an impatient people who want everything done in a hurry. But God refuses to be rushed.
In the words of author James W. Moore:
We love instant results. We want everything done in a hurry these days. We don’t want to wait for anything. We are so different from the earlier generations who ordered things from the Sears catalog and waited with great anticipation for weeks or even months for the items to arrive. We want to pay a little down now (even if we can’t really afford it) and get it today.
We are impatient people looking for immediate action and instant gratification, so much so that God’s patient ways sometimes confuse, perplex, and bother us. We are impatient, but God is deliberate, steady, and long-suffering. We look for the speedy way, the shortcut, the instant answer, the immediate solution. But God takes the long way ’round. God refuses to be rushed.
The way to become a spiritually mature Christian is to spend so much time with Christ that we begin to think and act like him, to spend so much time with him that we take on what the apostle Paul called “the mind of Christ.” It just takes time and effort and commitment. There are no easy, instant solutions. What we need to remember is that the things that matter most take time, effort, commitment, discipline, lots of practice, lots of hard work . . . and lots of patience.
Working chapter titles include, “Lord, Give Me Patience, and Give it to Me Right Now”; “Lord, Give Me Perseverance”; ” Lord, Give Me Faith”; “Lord, Give Me Forgiveness”; “Lord, Give Me Love”; “Lord, Give Me Childlikeness”; “Lord, Give Me Life”; “Lord, Give Me Grace”; and others.
This book includes twelve chapters and a discussion guide.

Experience true spiritual transformation: invite God’s presence into your life! Popular author, theologian, and pastor Gregory Boyd shows you how-simply, practically, and effectively-in this thoughtful and accessible book.
Discover: * How to pray continually * What it means to “take every thought captive” * How to wake up to God’s ever-present love
God is closer to you than the air you breathe. He is present in every given moment. Wake up to his presence! Turn off the mental chatter that keeps you from seeing his glory. Embrace the holy habit of inviting God’s presence into your life, and be transformed!
Wake Up to God’s Presence!
We long to be transformed. Yet our minds are filled with endless trivia and self-centered chatter. To-do lists. Worries about the past. Speculation about the future. We forget to live in the present moment … and to invite God to be with us there.
After reading classic contemplative authors Brother Lawrence, Jean-Pierre de Caussade, and Frank Laubach, theologian and pastor Gregory Boyd longed to experience the presence of God for himself. For two decades, he’s attempted to implement the “practice of the presence of God” in his own life … sometimes succeeding, sometimes failing. What he’s learned as a fellow pilgrim on his spiritual journey can help you find true spiritual transformation as you begin to practice the discipline of inviting God into every moment.
“I’ve become absolutely convinced that remaining aware of God’s presence moment-by-moment is the single most important task in the life of every follower of Jesus,” Boyd writes. “I’m convinced this challenge is implied in our commitment to surrender our life to Christ, for the only real life we have to surrender to him is the one we live moment-by-moment.”
Join Boyd on this transformational journey of a lifetime!

Life With God
$18.99Add to cartRichard Foster expounds on his introduction to the successful Renovare Spiritual Formation Bible and his concept of the “with-God life,” showing how all of Scripture is unified around the theme of how to have a vibrant and dynamic life with God. For Foster, the with-God life concept allows the “river of life that flows through the Bible into the thirsty wastelands of the human soul.” Breaking up history into fifteen epochs that reveal the unfolding of God’s plan for seeking out a relationship to us, Foster sees the Bible as “the loving heart of God made visible and plain” to us. The with-God life “is a life of unhurried peace and power. It is solid, serene, simple, radiant. It takes no time, though it permeates all of our time.” Readers will discover a whole new way to read Scripture, making it much more a doorway to a lifestyle to master rather than merely knowledge to understand.

Jesus The Messiah According To The Gospels
$16.99Add to cartGALATIANS 1: 7, 8 7which is really not another; only there are some who are disturbing you and want to distort the gospel of Christ. 8But even if we, or an angel from heaven, should preach to you a gospel contrary to what we have preached to you, he is to be accursed! (New American Standard Bible) How many times have you read the account of the Five Thousand being fed in Matthew and wanted to know how Mark described it? Perhaps you have read what Luke said about the Triumphal Entry, and wanted to compare it with what John wrote. JESUS THE MESSIAH According to the Gospels emerged from this need. Nathanael Ben Yehoshua Alrabi, like you, sought the answers to such questions in the life and events of the historical Jesus, therefore, this book includes all the events taken directly from the four evangelists.

This is the story of Jesus’ life and events in a chronological order easily followed in a single reading.

For The Love Of The Lord (Student/Study Guide)
$13.99Add to cartAn in-depth look at what the Bible teaches about love and how that love should transform us.
The title For the Love of the Lord has a double meaning – it refers both to the love God has for us and the love we have for God. But what is love? How does it make us act? How does it change us? In this book, author Nancy Ferguson sets out to free readers from preconceived notions by finding out what the Bible says about love.
By acting out love toward others, we learn more about what it really is and what it can do. As we learn more about the love that God lavishes on us, we mature in the love of the Lord. As we mature in that love, we love God and others more and more. Thus, Nancy demonstrates, love is a circle that spirals upward until we reach our final destination, where we shall spend eternity basking in the glories of heaven in God’s presence. “My prayer,” writes Nancy, “is that as you read this book, you will learn more of God’s love and be drawn closer to the Source of the unlimited love lavished upon us daily, and that you will let that love transform your life into what God wants you to be.”
In this back-to-basics study, Nancy shares her passion for the Bible and God’s generous love.

This Is My Beloved Son
$17.99Add to cartThis misunderstood moment-is essential to what it means to be Christian
The Transfiguration of Christ is one of the most impressive and mysterious miracles of Christ, and yet one of the least known and understood biblical events. Yet, it spawned a long tradition of spiritual ascent and contemplative prayer. This book examines the Transfiguration in the context of the Gospel, Christian spirituality, and the traditions of the church.
Andreopoulos explains the Transfiguration-the revelation of the full divinity of Christ in front of his disciples-as a continuous event. He also explains threads that are common in the event of the Transfiguration and in other parts of the gospels, such as “the voice of the Father” heard first at John’s baptism of Jesus. This Is My Beloved is a book that bridges East and West in its pursuit of understanding the power and meaning of what transfiguration meant then, and now.

There, God prompted Dick to pray a miraculous, life-saving prayer for Don Piper. His book, 90 Minutes in Heaven, is the story of Don’s miraculous return to life after the fatal accident. Coincidence did not intersect three lives that day, God did. When Dick and Anita happened upon the horrific accident scene, it was God’s Divine Appointment, orchestrated by His hand.

Saint Peter : The Underestimated Apostle
$21.99Add to cartMany biblical scholars treat the apostle Peter as a vague figure in the early church and regard the early tradition as something that cannot be trusted.

Marks Of The Messenger
$18.99Add to cartShort-term missions expert J. Mack Stiles believes we can’t separate who we are and how we live from what we say as we interact with people about the good news of Jesus.

Where Would Jesus Lead
$16.99Add to cartJesus modeled leadership by living and walking with His disciples, everyday people, and the religious leaders of His day.
You can emulate His leadership style by changing the traditional hierarchical, pulpit-based leadership model of most Western churches to a more relational form of leading from among the people. This leadership style involves participating in the chaos of real, two-way relationships, yet bringing order by training and discipling-in the midst of chaordic interaction.
Where Would Jesus Lead? is about leading among-rather than leading from, or leading over, or leading from titles, positions, or assumed roles. Author and ministry leader Gary Goodell believes it is time to transition to a more collaborative style of leading, one of coming alongside people, for the people’s sake, and empowering them to achieve their personal God-given destiny. Thinking prophetically, the author courageously contends that interactive relationships that are purposeful yet inherently chaotic are ones to be joyfully embraced.
…But as He went, the multitudes thronged Him [Jesus]. Now a woman…touched the border of His garment. …She declared to Him in the presence of all the people the reason she had touched Him and how she was healed immediately. And He said to her, “Daughter, be of good cheer, your faith has made you well. Go in peace” (Luke 8:42-48 NKJV).
Practical ideas and applications regarding how to carry out this vision in one-on-one relationships and in small groups are expertly presented. Emphasis on deeper, more effective relationships is God’s heart for the Church in America today.

Grace In The Dark Places
$19.99Add to cartWhy are people drawn to alternative religions that deviate from the norm of Christian beliefs? Why do they stay? What compels them to cling to a false dogma, even in the face of evidence that their beliefs are in error? Why do they engage in scriptural gymnastics in defense of beliefs that have no grounding in Christian theology? Why do they tolerate abusiveness from charismatic leaders and cede personal freedom? Why are they willing to defend these leaders and their institutions to the bitter end? After a lifetime of spiritual incarceration, Jim Turner began studying the cult mentality in order to better understand his actions. He researched religious cults and their practices and traced their teachings throughout history as they found their way into the “New Religions.” His studies have convinced him that there is indeed “nothing new under the sun.” New Religions offer amended ideas that identified past cults. Modern cults have extracted beliefs from past groups and added a spin that presents them as original and, of course, inspired. Psychological manipulation plays a significant role in the development and continuation of modern cults, but Jim Turner has presented a convincing argument that the psychological condition and willingness of cultists to surrender their freedom to cult leaders and their irrational tendencies to elevate a revered leader to a semi-divine level are equally responsible for the advancement of cults. Follow the author through the early stages of cult indoctrination, the personal abuses he experienced at the hands of the cult, his personal choices as he rose through the ranks of the cult and his eventual enlightenment to the deceptiveness of the cult led by Herbert W. Armstrong. Walk with him out of the darkness of cultic deception into the glorious light of the Grace of God through Jesus Christ.

My Struggles My Bondage And My Freedom And Deliverance
$13.49Add to cartA true miracle took place in my life… I had my gun in my hands at one point, to kill myself. A miracle took place as the Holy Spirit, whom God has sent me, intervened and stopped me.

I was bound down by the devil for twenty six years with an addiction to cocaine while handling my everyday business, and no one knew – not even my families and loved ones. Furthermore, God eradicated my twenty six year cocaine addiction, without the help from any doctors or clinics for addiction whatsoever. Yes, God still does miracles and He is as alive today as He ever was. My book is non-fiction and is of God. I’ve had revelations from God clearly on my new journey, and I know this book will be used by God to deliver many with its contents.- Eddy

Cancer And Me
$13.49Add to cartYou simply say, “Oh, no, this can’t be cancer!” You talk to God like never before. And you realize it is time to get in touch with your inner self to learn who you really are. You ask questions like:
“How will I come out of this, mentally and spiritually?”
“Will I make it?”
“Will my family make it? Have I prepared them for such a bumpy road?”
Through it all, you learn to lean on God like never before, as well as on your praying friends. When treatment is over and good reports start coming in, you realize that you are a changed person. You have a new attitude about yourself; you realize you have a caring concern for others going through a similar trial.
My desire is to reach out to those hurting “others”, to give them hope and brighten their days. Perhaps, ultimately, even to encourage them in their personal relationship with God.

I Envy Birds
$27.99Add to cartMy father, Joe B. Chapman, was shuffled from town to town during his childhood as his father followed work on the pipeline. He saw many places and met many people. Texas A&M was the college of his choice and where he earned a degree in Industrial Engineering. His education enabled him to pursue a career which enabled him to see what was once considered the far and exotic reaches of the earth. Not only did my father obtain the knowledge found in books, but he saw the mysteries of other cultures. By human standards, you could say that my dad, although not of noble birth, was influential in his field and has great wisdom. (I Corinthians 1:25-31) these verses teach us, the foolish things of the world can confound the wise. Daddy understands this truth and he has kept his eyes on the Lord and trusted in the Lord’s wisdom and guidance throughout his life. When he tells stories of his travels in the past, he does not boast of the things he has seen or done, but he boasts of what the Lord has allowed him to see and experience as well as the protection He has afforded my dad. By God’s standards, my dad is of noble birth. He is covered in the righteousness of Jesus, which makes him a joint heir in all that God has and loves to give to His children. What my dad wants you to know, and tells you through his poetry is that you too can be a child of The King. You can be redeemed and sanctified by God and you too can boast in the Lord.

Into His Presence
$16.49Add to cartSo What’s It All About?
Entering into His presence!
Now and ForeverNot always but often it seems, SUFFERING becomes the pathway leading to the highest awareness of God’s presence. I have, therefore, imagined characters who endure differing degrees of challenge, sadness, or suffering.
But I pray my readers will patiently read on past the sorrow, anticipating the vicarious joy of entering into His presence with Nick, or Matt, or Timmy, or the young guilty sinner-and with all the others!
No matter the intensity of the struggle, each character discovers powerful victory in this life’s journey or transitions into ultimate victory-into the King’s eternal presence.
Oh, to catch a glimpse of Him-for now and forever!
The greatest gift I have ever received is the apprehension of just one profound truth-that life everlasting and joy unending is available at no cost to us, for King Jesus paid it all.

Seeing The Unseen
$12.49Add to cartAbandoning at age 30 what promised to be a lucrative law practice, John Collins escaped to Spain for a three-year sabbatical to search for the meaning of life. In SEEING THE UNSEEN: Opening the Closed Circuit of Everyday Consciousness, he relates his findings in maxims and identifi es seven impediments that commonly hinder our capacity to render our everyday experience of people, places and things intelligible, meaningful and joyful. Collins believes the greatest obstacle to realizing personal fulfi llment, or salvation or the Kingdom
of God is psychological. Living our lives almost entirely on the conscious surface of Self, we neglect the unconscious core of our being, resulting in the inability of the whole Self to truly see and know reality. Collins suggests that religion’s fi nest hour may come when it assumes responsibility for healing this rupture in our innermost being, allowing us to achieve greater understanding of ourselves, of the world and ultimately, of God. -

I wrote this book of poetry because I want you to know that Jesus is knocking
at the door of your heart (or someone that you know). He wants to lift you
from the darkness of sin and place you in the presence of the marvelous Light.
He wants to become the Rock of your foundation, the Head of your life, the
Redeemer of your sin, the Healer of your illness, and much, much more.
Receiving Him changed my life! Now He wants to change yours! -

The conflict between a mother-in-law and her daughter-in-law has existed throughout all of history. In the Old Testament, Rebekah complained that her daughters-in-law were making her so miserable, she’d rather be dead. Now, thousands of years later, we’re still complaining about our in-laws, often even hoping they really won’t ever come visit.
In Mothers-in-Law vs. Daughters-in-Law, author Elisabeth Graham examines this in-law conflict with aims to draw readers into a different perspective: that women will learn to recognize their in-laws as a beneficial relationship-a gift-to and for the entire family.With sound biblical wisdom and clever insights, Graham teaches women to find peace in all aspects of their relationships with their in-laws.

God As Author
$19.99Add to cartGod as Author takes a thoughtful literary approach to understanding the Gospel. Gene Fant writes in the preface:
“Most of us have heard that Christ is ‘the Author and Finisher of our faith’ (Hebrews 12:2), so it makes sense that the Gospel would be God’s story. As many a church message board has noted so succinctly, ‘History is His Story.’ In our easy discussions of special revelation, I cannot help but wonder if we
have missed something awe-inspiring that may be revealed by a reversal of the lens that we turn toward narrative. Perhaps the Gospel is not just like a story; perhaps story, narrative in general, is like the Gospel. My clear conviction is that something stands behind the power of narrative. In fact, I believe that Someone stands behind it. There is an Author whose skill and grace imbues the broad range of the stories that we tell. There is a Father who gave us a story to help us understand our place in this world, a story that points back to Him. His story is, in many ways, the only story that we know. When we use that realization as a foundation for interpreting and generating narrative, it changes everything, including ourselves.” -
TransforMission
$24.99Add to cartRemarkably, thirty percent of North American teenagers-millions of people between the ages of 13 and 17-have engaged in religious missions or service projects. Building on this statistic, the authors of TransforMission believe that short-term mission is one way God is taking the gospel to the nations and, concurrently, transforming the lives of these student participants.
Writing to youth ministers, missiologists, church leaders, adult volunteers, and post-high school students, they assess strategies for further promoting this kind of involvement by exploring several questions:
* What mechanisms is God employing to achieve this advance in mission?
* What is taking place in the lives of believers who are obediently participating in the fulfillment of the Great Commision?
* What are the theological and theoretical foundations for the life transformation that is occurring?
* What is the most effective means of conducting short-term mission experiences? -
Practice Resurrection Study Guide (Student/Study Guide)
$14.99Add to cartThough bringing people to new birth in Christ through evangelism is essential, says Peterson, isn’t it obvious that growth in Christ is equally essential? Yet the American church does not treat Christian growth and character formation with equivalent urgency. We are generally uneasy with the quiet, obscure conditions in which growth takes place, and building maturity in Christ too often gets relegated to footnote status in the text of our lives.
In Practice Resurrection Peterson brings the voice of Scripture – especially Paul’s letter to the Ephesians – and the voice of the contemporary Christian congregation together to unpack what it means to fully grow up “to the stature of Christ.” Peterson’s robust discussion will move readers to restore transformed Christian character to the center of their lives.
This helpful study guide is designed to enable small groups in schools or churches – or even individuals – to delve deeper into the timely wisdom of Practice Resurrection: A Conversation on Growing Up in Christ. Peter Santucci here breaks up Peterson’s book into thirteen “sessions,” each of which contains a summary, select quotes to consider, questions for interaction, and a prayer drawn from the text of Ephesians that is covered in the corresponding book chapter.

Paul The Apostle Of Jesus Christ
$45.00Add to cartOne hundred and sixty years ago F. C. Baur posed, in inescapably sharp form, a question which has haunted Christianity throughout its history: is Christianity simply a form of Judaism, a development from Judaism, or was it, as Baur argued, from the beginning something quite distinct, a religious spirit or consciousness which could not be or become itself until it broke through the limits and restrictions of its historical origins? Baur’s radical answer set the agenda for the rest of the nineteenth century, and though neglected for most of the twentieth century, the question has reemerged with renewed force in a post-Holocaust world.

While many know of the signal contributions of such twentieth-century giants as Paul Tillich or Karl Barth or Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, the important work since their time often goes unremarked until some major controversy erupts. Here is a smart and helpful survey of the chief approaches and thinkers in today”s understanding of the person, significance, and work of Jesus Christ.Schweitzer offers an insightful introduction to the contemporary context of Christology, in which basic questions in the discipline (and soteriology) are being rethought in light of globalization, postmodernity, and the contemporary experience of evil. He then offers a kind of typology of the current approaches and voices.
Schweitzer”s volume concludes with a reflection on the recent past and present imperatives of a discipline that virtually defines what Christianity has to offer the present age.

Anti Human Theology
$104.00Add to cartPeter Manley Scott offers a theological and ethical reading of our present situation. Due to the vigour of its re-engineering of the world by its technologies, western society has entered into a postnatural condition in which standard divisions between the natural and the artificial are no longer convincing. This postnatural development is liberating – both theologically and politically. Scott develops an ‘anthropology’ that does not repeat Christianity’s history of anthropocentrism but instead criticises it by exploring the mutual entanglement of animals, humans and other creatures. Deeply disrespectful of traditional centres of power, his ethical critiques of ‘pioneering’ technologies expose their anti-social and anti-ecological tendencies and identify possible paths of oppositional political action. This is ethical theology at its best: deeply informed by theological tradition, immersed in contemporary political-technological problematics in radically oppositional ways, and yet fiercely hopeful of a good outcome for anim

Joshua
$29.99Add to cartThe book of Joshua is often troubling – what should we make of the fact that the violent occupation of land is not simply presented, but celebrated? How can we reconcile that with the key role the book plays in the biblical drama of salvation? What should we make of the God of Joshua? / In this volume Gordon McConville and Stephen Williams interpret Joshua in relation to Christian theology, addressing such questions and placing the book in its proper place in the canonical whole. McConville deals specifically with the commentary and exegesis of the text. Williams then moves in to focus on issues of interpretation. He addresses key theological themes, such as land, covenant, law, miracle, judgment (with the problem of genocide), and idolatry. / The authors posit that the theological topics engaged in Joshua are not limited to the horizons of the author and first readers of the book, but that Joshua is part of a much larger testimony which concerns readers yet today.
