Name
$14.99Before offering a prayer at the inauguration of President George W. Bush, Franklin Graham was asked by a fellow participant if he intended to pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Graham assured him that he would and encouraged this pastor to do the same. As Graham reminded him, “That’s the only thing we’ve got.” In days of religious confusion and cultural relativism, Franklin Graham reminds us that there are absolutes in the kingdom of God. The Name explains the significance of names in the Hebrew culture, centering on the meaningfulness of the name Jesus. Chapters focus on the different aspects of power in the Lord’s name, such as “Healing in the Name” and “Salvation in the Name.”

Brink Of Death
$14.99Book one of the new edge-of-your-seat Hidden Faces series, featuring forensic artist Annie Kingston Annie Kingston moves to Grove Landing for safety and quiet_and finds herself face to face with evil. The noises, faint, fleeting, whispered into her consciousness like wraiths in the night. Twelve-year-old Erin Willit opened her eyes to darkness lit only by the dim green nightlight near her closet door and the umbra of a street lamp through her front window. She felt her forehead wrinkle, the fingers of one hand curl as she tried to discern what had awakened her. Something was not right. An oak tree lifted gnarled branches between the street lamp and her window, its leaves casting eerie spider-shadows across the far wall. When she’d been younger, Erin had asked that a small lamp on the desk by that wall be left on at night. Anything to dispel the jerking dances of those leaves. Lately she could watch the dark trembling across the posters of pop stars on her wall and be unafraid. But not tonight. On this night the shadows writhed and twitched. Erin listened . . . When Annie’s neighbor, Lisa Willit, is killed by an intruder in her home, Sheriff’s detectives are left with little evidence. Lisa’s daughter, Erin, saw the killer, but she’s too traumatized to give a description. The detectives grow desperate. Because of her background in art, Annie is asked to question Erin and draw a composite. But Annie knows little about forensic art or the sensitive interview process. A nonbeliever, she finds herself begging God for help. What if her lack of experience leads Erin astray? The detectives could end up searching for a face that doesn’t exist. Leaving the real killer free to stalk the neighborhood . . .

Additional Info
Covenant and Commandment at first seeks to establish that the heart of Hebrew faith and thought is a vision of God as one who makes covenants-with Israel, with all humankind, and, indeed, with the whole creation. As a covenant-maker, God binds himself through his promises. It is Israel’s conviction that God is the kind of God who makes promises and keeps them. This conviction, as Christian contends, has given creative power and shape to the whole of Hebrew and Christian history.As the books continues, C. W. Christian contends that the Hebrew law, especially that expression called the Ten Commandments, can best be understood as a joyful response to God’s covenant grace, a response that embraces every aspect of our being: community with God, with each other, and with God’s world. Each of the commandments is then examined to discover how it may provide guidance in living unto God and in human community.
Covenant and Commandment is ideal for either personal or group study on the nature and use of the Ten Commandments. A study guide with relevant questions is provided for reflection and discussion.

Power Of Forgiveness
$18.73Jide and Remi’s relationship was supposed to seal the generations of friendship between two families, but something happened-instead of friendship, the two families became bitter enemies. Read how the power of forgiveness brought these two families back together. “My favorite aspect of the book is Femi’s use of the concept of contrast throughout the book, i.e., the contrast between one generation and the next, between African and Western culture, between Christianity and false religions, between male and female roles, between the past and present, between the mindset of revenge in one philosophy and the freedom and love offered through the power of God, and of course the contrast between living with hard hearts and with forgiveness.” -Steve York, SCHOOL ADMINISTRATOR, OMAHA, NEBRASKA “In The Power of Forgiveness, Femi demonstrated how by the grace of God, hatred passed down from one generation to another was turned into love. This book brings to life the healing power of forgiveness in those sold on Christ … I could not put the book down from the moment I started reading to when I finished reading it.” -Dupe Oyebolu, RETIRED NURSE, ABEOKUTA, NIGERIA “An outstanding piece of prose that concisely presents the message of the gospel in a dramatic yet powerful way … This book gives a simple yet profound message to its readers-it is only the power of Christ’s love that can conquer evil.” -Wumi Ademola, ASSISTANT PASTOR D.I.C., HOUSTON, TEXAS

World As I Remember It

Rich Mullins was more than a musician. He was a poet and thinker who left a legacy of deep gratitude, humility, and delight before the dace of an awesome God. Here you’ll find a treasury of Rich’s engaging, intimate reflections on faith and life. Revealing the spiritual meaning behind the simplest events, Rich muses about subjects ranging from fear to contentment, childlikeness to emptiness, from war to music. This is a feast for anyone who appreciates fresh, deep spiritual nourishment. As you savor the arresting ideas of one of modern Christianity’s most ardent pilgrims, you’ll find your adoration focused on your Creator, Redeemer, and Inpirer.
Story Behind the Book
For nearly six years, Rich shared his thoughts about faith and life through his columns in Release magazine. When his first column was published in the spring of 1991, the editors introduced him this way: “Rich not only has a lot to say…he also has a unique way of saying it. And although Mr. Mullins could easily fit into that intellectual bohemian-type category (we’re sure he could hold his own in a discussion with any theologian or philosopher of old), most often, his message is a straightforward call back to the principles of faith. He’s a poet, a scholar, a gentleman, and yes, just a little bit off-center. But that’s why we like him, and are pleased to welcome Rich to Release with this regular column.
We trust you’ll love him and what he has to say as much as we do…” Rich had a way with words, and a collection of his writings seems an appropriate tribute to a man who has been referred to as “the greatest songwriter of our time.”

Part Three examines the “fruit” of priestly life by focusing on three fundamental features of priestly identity: holiness, reconciliation, and blessing.

Pauls Letter To The Romans
$48.99Continuing his series of highly regarded and innovative socio-rhetorical commentaries on the New Testament, Ben Witherington now tackles Romans, perhaps the most profound and difficult book of the New Testament.
Interacting with recent treatments of this Pauline letter and with ancient Christian commentators, Witherington shows that the interpretation of Romans since the Reformation has been far too indebted to Augustinian readings of the text as filtered through Luther, Calvin, and others. Instead, Witherington urges a reading of the text in light of early Jewish theology, the historical situation of Rome, and Paul’s own rhetorical concerns.
Offering a new translation of the Greek text and new insights into Paul and his world, this commentary sheds fresh light on the meaning of Romans for its original audience and for Christian readers today.

High Calling : The Courageous Life And Faith Of Space Shuttle Columbia Comm
$19.99Rick Husband wanted to be an astronaut since his fourth birthday, but it wasn’t always for the right reasons. Initially, he thought it would be neat . . . cool . . . a fun thing to do. It wasn’t until he came to a spiritual crossroads and was able to give that dream up to discover the true desires of his heart before he actually got into the space shuttle program at NASA. Three failed attempts didn’t daunt this driven pilot-and the fourth interview process, though lengthy and difficult, proved successful for him. Husband’s years at NASA served not only to develop his integrity and character, but also to increase his faith in a Creator that could not be denied in the vastness of space. His story is not only inspirational but exhilarating and invigorating, as readers will witness the life of a man who consistently pursued the desires of his heart even as he served a faithful God.

Educating For Shalom
$30.99In addition to his notable work as a premier Christian philosopher, Nicholas Wolterstorff has become a leading voice on faith-based higher education. This volume gathers the best of Wolterstorff’s essays from the past twenty-five years dealing collectively with the purpose of Christian higher education and the nature of academic learning.
Integrated throughout by the biblical idea of shalom, these nineteen essays present a robust framework for thinking about education that combines a Reformed confessional perspective with a radical social conscience and an increasingly progressivist pedagogy. Wolterstorff develops his ideas in relation to an astonishing variety of thinkers ranging from Calvin, Kuyper, and Jellema to Augustine, Aquinas, and Kant to Weber, Habermas, and MacIntyre. In the process, he critiques various models of education, classic foundationalism, modernization theory, liberal arts, and academic freedom.

$19.98Fathering the Nations reveals the character and integrity of Christ that are needed within the heart of God’s delegated representatives-apostles, prophets, evangelists, preachers, and teachers-so the body of Christ will be effectively trained, equipped, and released by God for works of service through spiritual fathers’ “fatherhood.” This book instills hope in the hearts of all levels of believers by dealing with the frustrations and misconceptions concerning leadership in the church as we’ve known it. Leaders were never given authority over the people of God but were given authority for God’s people. Fathering the Nations deals directly with leadership through biblical foundations, awakening and reestablishing God’s divine order for daily living and godly government for the eternal existence of the true Church of Christ Jesus “on earth as it is in heaven.”This book lays a solid foundation of Christ and His Kingdom “living within the hearts of all believers.”

How To Unlock The Secret Codes In Bible Prophecy
$43.73Twenty-eight centuries ago, through the prophet Isaiah, God said that all of His prophecies concerning the Great Chastisement of the End Times would be sealed. Nobody can understand these mysterious prophetic messages. Everybody is like a blind and a deaf person. But, one day, a book will appear to open the eyes of the people of the world. Thanks to this book, the deaf will hear and the blind will see. They will understand the secret codes in Bible Prophecy. They will know that the reign of the ruthless Communists will come to an end. In this book, all the secrets of Bible Prophecy will be uncovered. And people of the world will know that at the End Times, there will be a Great Chastisement and all of the prophets of God will announce this terrible punishment. Even Moses, the first prophet of God, announced in clear language that at the End Times, the people of God will be very sinful, thus provoking God’s anger. And He will use Russia as His rod to chastise His people. This ruthless nation will come from afar, “from the ends of the earth” (Deuteronomy 31:29; 28:49.50).

Who Can Be Saved
$59.99The question of salvation in relation to the world religions has become especially poignant in recent years. For evangelical theology, this query becomes even more pressing in light of the millions throughout history who have never heard the gospel. This group includes: the unborn, those who never reach an age of accountability, those who never achieve the capacity to understand the gospel, those who lived before the time of Christ, and those who live after Christ’s resurrection who are not evangelized. Tiessen offers a constructive approach in his reassessment of salvation in Christ and the world religions in this engaging and accessible volume. Who Can Be Saved? is divided into two sections; the first explores the many possibilities of how and what type of people are saved, while the second views how the world religions relate to God’s purposes in the world. Tiessen provides an important contribution to a Christian theology of religions, which is evangelically grounded and missiologically informed.

Universal Salvation : The Current Debate
$33.99Foreword by Gabriel Fackre
Will God one day save all people through Christ’s atoning work? That is the question at the heart of the debate in this volume – a debate sure to challenge readers, whatever their current perspective.
Featuring evangelical writers of exceptional insight and sensitivity, Universal Salvation? offers a conversation worth everyone’s attention. The volume opens with a rigorous three-part defense of Christian universalism by philosopher Thomas Talbott, who argues that Scripture teaches the ultimate salvation of all people, including those in hell. Gabriel Fackre in his foreword calls Talbott’s work “the most thoughtfully wrought argument for universalism to date from within the contemporary evangelical community.” The rest of the book gathers incisive responses to Talbott by Christian scholars from different disciplines, who evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of Talbott’s arguments, take his thought in new directions, or explain why they think he is mistaken. Talbott then responds to his critics.
The aim of this volume is not to persuade people that universalism is true but to open up a fairer debate on a controversial subject of continuing importance to theologians and nontheologians alike. By exploring universal salvation from biblical, philosophical, theological, and historical perspectives, the book helps readers think through the issues more carefully than has been possible with resources previously available.

Wonderful Words Of Life
$31.99Although the use of hymns in many evangelical congregations seems to be declining, Richard Mouw (in the introduction) predicts a resurgence of hymnody in the future. Other notable contributors examining the various historical and theological dimensions of hymns in American Protestantism include Mark Noll, Susan Wise Bauer, Kevin Kee, and Jeffrey VanderWilt. The essays probe the influence of Isaac Watts, the practical implications of hymns for living the Christian life, and the character of hymns as bearers of good (or bad) theology. Wonderful Words of Life provides an engaging treatment of an often neglected field of study, which bridges the gap between Christian belief and practice.

Reading The Gospels Today
$28.99As ancient documents, the New Testament Gospels can seem distant from contemporary life or irrelevant to modern society. Further complicating the task of reading the Gospels is the way they seem to introduce differing, if not competing, pictures of Jesus. This book is meant to help Bible readers understand–and move beyond–the difficulties involved in interpreting Scripture in our current context.
In these insightful studies several biblical scholars explore the content of the Gospels while also discussing how to read these writings in relation to each other and in terms of today’s world. Some chapters consider issues that vex Gospel criticism, others look at particular texts or Synoptic themes: still others demonstrate how one’s immediate interpretive context helps to raise the issues and shape the answers that are found when we read the Gospels. Well organized, thoughtfully written, and widely accessible, this volume will serve to draw readers into the exciting field of contemporary Gospels study.

Murder Of Jesus
$15.99The pieces are in place. The curtain rises for the final act. God is about to die. To many, the story of Christ’s crucifixion has become so familiar that it has lost its ability to shock, outrage, or stir any great emotion. In The Murder of Jesus, John MacArthur presents this pivotal moment in the life of Jesus in a way that forces readers to witness this event in all its power. The passion of Christ is examined chronologically through the lens of the New Testament with special attention given to Jesus’ words on the cross, the miracle that attended the crucifixion, and the significance of Christ’s atoning work. In doing so, MacArthur relives the most awesome injustice in the history of man and the unparalleled triumph of the sovereignty of God.

Eastertide : Prayers For Lent Through Easter From The Divine Hours
$22.00“A wise rabbi once told me that it is not how many prayers we don’t say that matters to God, but rather how many we do. That is important to all of us, but especially for beginners. If this is your first attempt to return to this most ancient of Christian practices, it is wise to remember that you are entering into a discipline and, like all disciplines, this one sits hard and heavy upon one at times. There are hours you will miss and/or some that you can’t even begin to figure out how to observe. That is all right, for either the joy will carry you into greater joy and transmute the discipline into privilege, or you will find yourself simply the wiser and the richer for such experience as you have had. As the rabbi said, that is what matters ultimately.”
In her acclaimed trilogy, The Divine Hours, Phyllis Tickle introduced modern Christians to the time-honored practice of “praying the hours.” In this exquisite new volume, she provides a vibrant program of prayer dedicated to the anticipation of Christ’s resurrection.
Beginning with Ash Wednesday and moving through Lent and on to Easter Sunday, Eastertide provides the daily prayers that bring practitioners into the full spirit of this season. Each day is filled with psalms, readings from the Bible, and hymns of praise and worship, just as they appear in the larger volume, The Divine Hours: Prayers for Springtime. Newcomers to this beloved tradition will find that Eastertide is the perfect introduction to joining the ancients in the tradition of fixed-hour prayer.

Devotion
$10.99Sure, we all know what discipleship is. Take the disciples, the Big Twelve. Super-religious guys who hung out with Jesus, carried his bags, handed out baguettes and smoked herring to the hungry followers and listeners (“Where did he get this much food, anyway. My arms are killin’ me.”), did their best to be bodyguards for Jesus (well, except at the end), were the most intimate friends Jesus had as well as the Inner Circle of his teaching (“Nice story, Jesus,but what are you getting at?”). Okay, so when you read the Gospels (or Acts) at face value, the disciples (or apostles) weren’t always on top of things the way Jesus would’ve liked. Okay, let’s be plain: for being Christ’s closest friends and intimate confidants, the disciples were clueless, selfish, erratic, inconsistent, and faithless at least half the time. And Jesus just loved them and used them all the more for it. Author Mike Yaconelli scrubs away centuries of sentimental buildup that has made first-century disciples–well, hard for a turn-of-the-century teenager to emulate. In Devotion: A Raw-Truth Journal on Following Jesus there’s hope for erratic, inconsistent, and sometimes-faithless adolescents who want to follow Christ closer than they do. Here’s a 30-day adventure through 30 traits of disciples as we read about them in the New Testament. And they’re not all pretty. But they’re all the marks of a disciple. Fear. Boldness. Fearlessness. Laziness. Weakness. Sensitivity. Brokenness. Alienation. Hunger. Immaturity. Strength. Preparedness. In each daily reading kids will find: * A discipleship event from Scripture * A brief but pointed paragraph describing that day’s disciple’s trait * A teenager’s first-person commentary on the trait * “The Obvious Truth” and “Obvious Lesson” from the Scripture passage and commentary–and then the “Not So Obvious Truth” and “Not So Obvious Lesson.” * Scripture references for extra reading on the trait * Questions that invite kids to ponder the application of the reading to their own experiences and desires. Devotion: A Raw-Truth Journal on Following Jesus is appropriate for small group reflection and discussion as well as for private use.

Lifetime Of Church
$38.73A Lifetime of Church chronicles the author’s deep involvement in two very different churches. The church of his youth was maintained by a strict social order and a set of predominant customs and traditions. From his earliest memories the author recounts what it was like to grow up in this conservative context, while it brought misery to his mother and was the life passion of her father. A series of extraordinary events culminated in the author becoming a lay minister in this church as a young adult. At the same time, a personal Bible study brought about a new set of beliefs. Following a long and agonizing spiritual struggle, the author helped found an independent community Bible church. For thirteen years the author served this church as the senior pastor, reared his family, operated a community pharmacy, and learned a lot about faith and life.

$31.99Garnishing awards from “Choice,” “Christianity Today,” “Books & Culture,” and the Conference on Christianity and Literature when first published in 1998, Roger Lundin’s “Emily Dickinson and the Art of Belief” has been widely recognized as one of the finest biographies of the great American poet Emily Dickinson.

Little Lamb Who Made Thee
$18.99The stories, essays, prayers, and poems in Little Lamb, Who Made Thee? continue the themes that the author began in Ragman and Other Cries of Faith and Miz Lil and the Chronicles of Grace. This volume portrays children, teenagers, adults, and parents as they grapple with the deep realities of life. At the heart of this struggle are the vital relationships we have with families, for it is from our parents_and from our children_that we most profoundly learn about ourselves as children of God. In the first section, Wangerin reminisces about his own childhood, and with the eyes of a child he helps us see the wonder and fullness of life. In the second section, he writes obout what it is like to be a pastor to parents and children alike, and as a young parent to his own children. Sage advice and joyful humor are couched in vivid stories_warm and intimate, raucous and chilling_that are Wangerin’s trademark. Finally, the book concludes with touching stories of adult children of aging parents_that sometimes sad, sometimes joyous time when children must become parents to their own parents. Far from being a how-to book or a manual, Little Lamb gets inside its subject to view parenthood and childhood as the great miracle and mystery that it is. This new, updated edition contains twelve all-new, never-before-published stories, making it the definitive edition of Little Lamb, Who Made Thee?

Zig : The Autobiography Of Zig Ziglar
$19.00Zig Ziglar, the motivational speaker who has galvanized audiences around the world and written more than a dozen perennially popular books, brings that same unbounded energy and clarity of vision to this candid, inspiring account of his own life and the forces that shaped it.
Every year, Zig Ziglar travels all over the world delivering a resounding message of hope and commitment in forums ranging from high-powered business conferences and church leadership assemblies to youth conventions and educational gatherings. In Zig, Ziglar chronicles another kind of journey: his own transformation from a struggling, not terribly successful salesman to the sales champion of several different companies, and finally to his current position as one of the world’s best-known and most highly regarded motivational speakers and trainers. As he describes his experiences, he brings to life the essence of his teachings: “You can have everything in life you want if you will just help enough other people get what they want.”
At the heart of Ziglar’s story are the people who taught him the importance of balancing a commitment to hard work with compassion for others. His first teacher was his mother, who raised him alone after the early death of his father, and introduced him to the principles and values he has honored for the rest of his life. Her lessons were reinforced by many others-from the men and women who became his business mentors to the friends and spiritual leaders who comforted and supported him when things got tough. Paying tribute to each of them, Ziglar zeroes in on the philosophy and traits that have enabled him to achieve success in business and in his personal life: discipline, hard work, common sense, integrity, commitment, and an infectious sense of humor.
Ziglar’s speaking engagements and seminars along with a wide array of audio and video materials, books, and training manuals, have helped to trigger positive changes in small businesses, Fortune 500 companies, U.S. government agencies, nonprofit associations, religious organizations, schools, and prisons. At once engaging and enlightening, Zig provides a riveting portrait of the man who has achieved so much by embracing the simple but profound goal of helping others.

Preaching Hebrews
$26.58The Rochester College Sermon Seminar and the series of books it has inspired have been built on the conviction that Christian preaching today needs revision. Such reforming begins with a close and faithful reading of Scripture, an engagement so serious that the world of Scripture ultimately sets agendas and invents expectations for meaningful life…In this present volume, too, we wish to grant the book of Hebrews the opportunity to pull all of us into the world it envisions, allowing it the power to judge, convict, and form us into a community God desires. This is not an easy task for several reasons, most notably the fact that the world of Hebrews is quite alien from our own…Like previous volumes in the Rochester Lectures on Preaching, the current work is divided into two parts. The first is a collection of four related essays meant to orient the reader to the world clearly conceived in Hebrews. The second half appropriates this orientation with sermons for particular Christian congregations.

Unveiling Glory : Visions Of Christs Transforming Presence (Student/Study Guide)
$28.31Why did Jesus come to earth in the flesh and live among us? In what sense did he both embrace this world and reject it? How should our view of Christ form the way we live and act as Christians in our families, neighborhoods, nations, and churches? Unveiling Glory seeks to address these topics and others, boldly considering many of the problems facing Churches of Christ today and insisting that the key to their resolution lies in a deeper commitment to Jesus.
The introduction establishes the premise for the book when it declares that “approaching Christ with transformation in mind has not always been a key element in…our heritage. Yet we are convinced that whenever scripture is allowed to speak with its full voice, the notion of Christianity as transformation into the image of Christ becomes inescapable.” The book seeks to deliver on this promise, leading the reader through the important events in Jesus’ life and unveiling their significance for the Christian today.

Sacred Longings : The Ecological Spirit And Global Culture
$33.33What do we really want? Internationally noted theologian Mary Grey believes we have gotten out of touch with our deepest desires. Trapped by the seductions of the marketplace, addicted to more and more, our culture has acquiesced in global capitalism’s most problematic characteristics, including widespread poverty and global maldistribution of resources. Grey’s hopeful book argues that there is a deeper language of desire that plumbs to what humanity really wants. Emergent in story and myth and symbol, these sacred longings can be seen in the simple yet profound elements–within and beyond Christianity–or water, light, and sacred space. Getting back in touch with our sacred longings entails a spiritual quest–a kind of ecomystical renewal–that can transform our desire, enliven our communities, simplify our lifestyles, and ultimately rekindle our global prospects.

The church is a part of God’s dramatic plan to reconcile all things to himself, “things in heaven and things on earth.” The New Testament calls this reconciling work the kingdom of God. Snyder pleads for a model of the church which emphasizes the God-given gifts of all members as he sets forth his theology of the church and gives practical guidelines for those concerned about church life and growth.

There’s a war going on, and you’re in it-whether you know it or not. The good news is that there is a way to freedom! God has already given us the weapons; we just need to learn how to use them. That’s what The War Manual is all about. The truth will set you free!
