Heart Of The Bible Narrative
$20.00Add to cartModern biblical scholarship has long been preoccupied with the relationship between history and doctrine. Karl A. Kuhn argues that an overly rational approach to the thought of the biblical authors misses the equally important but long neglected affective dimension of biblical narrative.
In Part I of The Heart of Biblical Narrative, Kuhn presents an approach to the Bible that applies “affective analysis” to get at a “cardiography of biblical narrative.” Biblical narrative in both Israel’s scripture and the New Testament is understood fundamentally as an attempt to persuade and move the reader, not simply to convince the reader of certain truths.
In Part II, Kuhn’s close reading of the opening chapters of Luke’s Gospel shows how biblical authors employed pathos as a way of drawing readers into their narrative and, thereby, their understanding of reality.

God With Skin On
$20.95Add to cartJesus responds to the question about the greatest commandment with two Old Testament commandments.The first, known to Jews as the “Shema,” says that we should love God with all our heart, all our soul, and all our strength.

Matthew 25–that “when you have done it to the least of these you have done it to me,” makes the same point: loving God and loving each other are the same thing.
In a culture where relationships are often divisive and exploitative, and where the call to love enemies seems impractical, this book offers the reminder we are interacting with God as we engage every relationship.
This book examines relationships of intimacy, authority, rivalry, and otherness-to show how learning to love within those relationships affects our relationship with God.

Guided Tour Through The Revelation

Revelation Of John
$32.00Add to cartAs the only book of its kind in the New Testament, Revelation can be difficult to understand, and for readers without specialized training, the historical-critical approach used in many commentaries can provide more complication than illumination. Here James Resseguie applies the easily understandable tools introduced in his primer on narrative criticism to this challenging book. He shows how Revelation uses such features as rhetoric, setting, character, point of view, plot, symbolism, style, and repertoire to construct its meaning. This literary approach draws out the theological and homiletical message of the book and highlights its major unifying themes: the need to listen well, an overwhelmingly God-centered perspective, and the exodus to a new promised land. Here is a valuable aid for pastor and serious lay reader alike.

Christianity Encountering World Religions
$38.00Add to cartGiven the unique religious climate of the twenty-first century and the challenges to Christian mission it poses, Christianity Encountering World Religions proposes a new, albeit very biblical, model for mission. Specifically, it is a model for interacting with people of other faiths. The authors term this model giftive mission, as it is based on the metaphor of free gift. They suggest that seeing mission activity through the lens of giving the greatest gift possible–the gospel message–not only has the potential for greater missionary success but also enables us to more closely imitate God’s gracious activity in the world.
The book begins by addressing preliminary matters: the current state of religion, the biblical material, and the presuppositions readers bring to the subject. Part 2 explores eleven practices that constitute giftive mission. Each practice is illustrated through the story of a figure from mission history who embodied that practice. Part 3 addresses method: how to apply the eleven practices in specific cultural and religious settings. The concluding section of the book ties all the prior discussion together and presents a compelling case and vision for giftive mission. Mission scholars, students, and practitioners will benefit greatly from this probing study.

Walking In The Will Of God
$16.99Add to cartThe success of Steve McVey’s books-beginning with the 225,000-selling Grace Walk-testifies to readers’ hunger to get free of performance-focused Christianity and rediscover the grace-filled, relational God of the Scriptures. The issue of God’s will confuses and frustrates many believers. Steve McVey helps and encourages them with key biblical principles:
Focusing on rules, Christians end up anxious, hesitant, and distant from their compassionate Father.
Focusing on God’s relationship with them, Christians will feel assured He is a Person to trust, not a formula to figure out. Believers can relax, knowing that God wants to guide them and has given them the life and mind of Christ.The result of the grace-based relationship? A bold, no-regrets life, lived in light of God’s complete dependability. This kind of life-the kind of life every Christian desires-is revealed in Walking in the Will of God.

He Was There Even When I Was Unaware And So Was MS
$21.99Add to cartHow I was able to find peace and joy in the face of diversity and tribulations. Early in life, I have always had Someone looking after me even when I did not realize it. Later in life, after becoming a true believer, my faith was challenged. Even in the face of this chronic illness called MS, my faith never faltered. I did not revert to asking, “why me?” I know my purpose is to boldly show what Christ has done in my life regardless of any obstacles. Born on Chicago’s west side in 1958, I aspired to do better than what was expected. I did the traditional college. I got my Bachelor of Science and Masters degrees. I started my career in Chicago. Working for corporate giants like Merrill Lynch, IBM, and Siemens was what I thought I was supposed to do back then.

Not knowing what to do, I went to my primary physician for help, but the prescribed stress pills did not work. Finally, in 2006, I received a call at a time when most doctors were not working.

Windows Of Saint Joseph
$18.99Add to cartAutism is a house without doors but sometimes a window is opened. For me that window was religion. Too early in my life I was blessed to perceive religion as it really is, and though in the very depth of my self I knew that “child-abuse” didn’t apply in this case, the images that Islam and the Inquisition evoke in me were almost too horrible to bear. In a word, I was terrified of religion. How little we know what a religious experience really is – even our own. Certainly, after two years of meetings and daily masses, there was no sense of reality that my mind could provide for the content of Catholic doctrines, thereby invalidating them. I had never really noticed what the rules of Catholicism were and what typical Catholics experienced. However far I fall short of their understanding, I think my real trouble was I didn’t have a theory of mind; thus, I concluded that everybody, including the priest who had to celebrate mass, experienced what I did. The theory of the mind runs very deep. It underscores the big words: the kinds of words that make consciousness possible: self, community, freedom itself. I have indeed become conscious of my freedom. How far down would I need to dig to discover the Risen Christ?

Washed By Fire
$16.49Add to cartWashed by Fire is the third part of a 4-part bibliotherapy series. It follows Prelude to Holy Ghost Fire, and In the Fire. It is a true story of this Christian woman’s struggle to overcome her past through the blood of the lamb of Jesus Christ, to stand forgiven by Him and to worship the LORD Jesus Christ alone. After being deluded into thinking that she had to serve the god of Molech through abortion as a newborn church member in her second marriage, she found herself in the grip of Satan. She had to fight with all her might to stop serving the god of Baal Peor (pornography and domestic violence). The God of the Bible, the LORD Jesus Christ, seemed so far away. She could proclaim Him to others, but struggled to walk with Him herself. Not knowing the God of the scriptures, for years she served religious people who claimed to be Christians. When the blinders fell off her eyes and she “woke up,” she found that Jesus Christ really did love her, that Jesus Christ really did accept her back to the fold. She embraced her healing journey. Stopping to serve the god of experience and feelings and those who manipulated her was a fight. Satan doesn’t let go of his prizes easily. The losses in this life of hers have been tremendous. But she has found Christ. It is a story of hope, faith and salvation. Since the writing of this book, her beloved cat, Queen Esther Ebbie Puff Tail has passed away from cancer. Obadiah remains with her. Patricia has begun the Interphase One diet by Doug Kaufman, which is a no grains, sugar or caffeine diet as part of her healing journey. She continues to let the Lord lead her.

Beyond All Measure
$15.99Add to cartThis book is about Jesus and His love for His children. It attempts to look at who we are, and how Christ relates to us in spite of who we are. Using the proper light of Scripture to view and expose ourselves, we are then enabled to see the glorious nature of His unconditional love for us. Thomas Watson rightly said, “Till sin be bitter, Christ will not be sweet.” My desire is that each of us would expand our view of Christ’s love for us. We have but a partial view of His incredible love, and so each of us needs to grow in our knowledge of it. This will be an eternal endeavor, and so I can think of very little that is more exciting than striving together to grow in the knowledge of the love of Christ. “Nothing binds me to my Lord like a strong belief in His changeless love.” – C.H. Spurgeon “We are never nearer Christ than when we find ourselves lost in a holy amazement at His unspeakable love.” – John Owen “Our Lord God must be a pious man to be able to love rascals.” – Martin Luther “He loved us not because we are lovable, but because He is love.” – C.S. Lewis

My Second Chance
$10.99Add to cartIt felt like a bad dream . . . but it wasn’t. God did not want me to live the life that I had been living. I was too stubborn to listen. I needed a wake-up call, and did I ever get one! God gave me what I needed to change my ways, though I never would have expected it. I fought my way through it all and got my life back. Not only did I get my life back, but I got a better one the second time around. I lost my health, my job, and I lost myself. Learn from my tragedy, and know that it can happen to you. God bless you as you are spiritually fed and begin to walk more closely with God. May you only become strengthened in your faith because of God’s precious love for you. Mathew – 22:37 – “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.”

Church Go To Hell Please
$19.99Add to cartThe powerful soul-winner and founder of the Salvation Army, William Booth, was once asked, “Do you think you have the best training program to teach people how to witness for Jesus Christ and win souls to Jesus?” William Booth replied, “No, I don’t think my methods are the best methods. I think the best method of giving people a burden for lost souls would be to take them to the devil’s hell and allow them to experience what it is to be lost in hell, separated from God for an eternity in the fire that could never be quenched. Then I believe men would truly have a burden and know what it is to be soul-winners because they would see what it is to be lost.” The purpose of this book is to give people that experience. Time is getting short for the church to do what the Lord has called us to do. It’s time for the Church to realize that Hell is real and eternal for those we do not reach. It’s time the church quit playing games. Though The Church that has been purchased by the blood of Christ can never experience Hell in its fullness, it is imperative that the church be able to see and feel the eternalness of the torments of Hell. That we wake up, “Be Revived”, and get busy about the Father’s work. Luke sixteen tells us of activities that are now taking place in Hell, activities that need to be taking place in our churches. Please, allow your church and yourself to “Go To Hell” so that those who the Lord and you love will never have to go to Hell. The Trape at Our Feet

From Moab To Bethlehem
$34.99Add to cartFrom Moab to Bethlehem…Journey to the King is an in-depth study of the biblical book of Ruth. Full of deep insights by author Cynthia Shomaker, it traces the footsteps of Naomi and Ruth and takes the reader on an inspiring journey from doubt, despair and defeat to triumphant faith and satisfying fulfillment. First taught to a small Bible study group, the 44 lessons in From Moab to Bethlehem address issues every person deals with, among them: the temptation to trust in earthly things, failed expectations, responding to loss, disillusionment and despair, past sins and other debilitating conditions, self-doubts and insecurities and false saviors. Along the way, it constantly points the reader to Jesus, the King, the true Savior and Redeemer, who much like Boaz, Ruth’s kinsman-redeemer, is not only able to redeem fully, but to provide “exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think.” This inspirational book challenges us to dare to leave our “Moabs” behind, venture by faith onto the pathway to Bethlehem, the “House of Bread,” and find there in Christ everything we’ll ever need.

Josiahs Cry : The Rising Revolution
$16.49Add to cartWe are living in one of the most crucial times in the history of our nation. Our financial security has been shaken, our national security threatened, and we are at war in the Middle East. In the American Church, the grip of religion, false worship, and disunity is leaving us as tasteless salt to the world. The plum line of truth is increasingly becoming more skewed to fit the agendas of ambitious ministry. However, there is a generation rising up and crying out to know God in a real way. They are not about “doing church,” but about glorifying God. These young leaders will lay a foundation of true change during a time of real persecution and trial by fire. We, the church, must embrace this Josiah spirit, crown them with authority, and support them as they restore true worship in the church. A fiery windstorm is coming that will scorch the flesh and expose the heart. Listen to the winds as they whisper what is to come. From its lips and out of its throat bellows the heart of God, this is Josiah’s Cry: The Rising Revolution. Can you hear it?

Bride Wore Black
$13.49Add to cartWholly original and authentic, The Bride Wore Black is a true story of some serious sin…and a Savior! “The tone may be ‘Sex in the City’ to start, but it’s a tale of total triumph in the end. I understand that at times it may read more like a fictional novel than reality, but trust me, there is no illusion in it. To me, fiction is a waste of time when real life issues are so relevant and riveting. Excerpt from book “We must never forget that sin will always take us further than we intend to go; keep us longer than we were planning to stay; and cost us more than we were prepared to pay,” says Author, Glenda Motsavage. The writing is a trio of serious life events [terminal illness, spiritual witchcraft, and a prison sentence] that were all transformed into opportunities for personal and spiritual growth. “A riveting piece of reading! Not only is it well done, but also screams out scores of issues that many people are dealing with today. I especially like the ‘walk’ through the various parts of Glenda’s life and how they all eventually lead to a saving knowledge of Christ; a must read for all.” Ronald B.

Engraved
$12.49Add to cart“Facing cancer presents not only physical challenges, but spiritual ones as well. While the medical personnel God brings into these life threatening times are significant influences, the relationship the person has with God outweighs any other factors by far. Alma’s journey is not one of passive acceptance of what seems to be the rational, natural result of what she faces. Rather, she chooses to live one day at a time in victory, wonder, and glory. This inspiring story of the grace of God in an individual’s life lures you into God’s presence and grace. The fine line between faith and obedience has not been consummated, but God continues to walk her through to victory.” Stephen R. Tourville, D.Min. Superintendent PennDel District of the Assemblies of God “Alma has not only literally lived the message contained here in this powerful book, but she has also demonstrated incredible grace while walking through the storm. Engraved is her first but certainly not her last book.” “Engraved takes you on an emotional roller coaster of the struggle that Alma faced with cancer and the threat of death. She never denied her circumstances but she did indeed defy them. I encourage you to walk with her through this journey of faith. I highly recommend the book and the author,” Bishop David R. Huskins Th.D., D.D. Cedartown, Georgia “This book will strengthen your faith, and refresh your spirit. Alma has trusted in God’s direction each step of the way in her journey through what should have shaken her foundation. However, because of God’s Word and His Spirit of peace, her house is stronger than ever. As you read this awesome testimony, let God speak to your heart, and bring peace to your walk with Him.” Gwen H. Mouliert President of Proclaiming His Word Ministries

Black Coffee : Candidly Rediscovering Friendship With God
$16.99Add to cart“I guess what inspired the title of this book was this idea of sitting down with God sharing conversation as naked and raw as the coffee I drink.” – KIRBY ALFARO Do you know God? Do you really know God? The depressing reality is that most of us don’t. In BLACK COFFEE, Kirby Alfaro confesses that the designer of the universe can seem distant, out of touch, and even unattainable. How do you even begin to build a relationship with someone like God? How do you turn an acquaintance into an old friend? This is not a self-help book bloated with formulas and templates written to touch up your spiritual reputation. Instead, this is a book that asks the tough questions, in hope for answers that bring to light a REAL, UNPOLISHED, BOLD, ROBUST, UNTAMED, RICH, STRONG, RAW, INTENSE friendship with God. Not a friendship to help you feel more like a Christian, but a friendship you’ve desired ever since the brink of your creation.

Mary And Me
$12.49Add to cartThe title, “Mary and Me,” refers to Mary Magdalene, a prostitute written about in the Bible. Her story is found in the four Gospels; Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. She became a dedicated follower of Jesus after He cast seven devils from her. Of all the people in the Bible, she is the one with whom I feel strongest kinship. Not a lot is revealed about her life, but I have a feeling that it was filled with a form of pain and suffering very similar to mine. Similar also, to the pain felt by thousands of other women who have experienced abuse and the need to feel loved. Mary Magdalene found the only true love in the arms of our Savior. He delivered us from the pain and loneliness of our dark existence. The love Mary felt for Jesus was nothing at all like what “The DaVinci Code” would have you believe. Her love was pure, sweet, and innocent-a spiritual love for the One who delivered her from the evil that had enveloped her. Only those who have experienced such a life transformation can understand the love she felt toward Jesus. I do understand it. It is my hope that this book will help lead others out of the pain and lies that hold their lives hostage and into the loving arms of Jesus Christ. These arms stand ready to replace the sad darkness with a supernatural radiance. Thank you, Lord Jesus, for saving Mary Magdalene. Her story can help the rest of us see that no matter what our life has been, we can still receive Your forgiveness and saving grace. I was dirty inside and out, yet You loved even me!

Calvin On The Ropes
$19.49Add to cartAt the moment, there are two powerful trends developing within evangelicalism: * a pernicious postmodernism that demeans moral and intellectual certainty and presses for accommodation among competing “truths” – a postmodernism that’s now “institutionalizing” itself among many of the so-called “emerging churches;” and * a resurgent five point Calvinism that casts itself in opposition to postmodernism and, therefore, appeals to college Christians who are desperately looking for a spiritual and intellectual mooring that will safeguard their beliefs from being swept into a sea of relativism. In short, the one, postmodernism and the relativism it’s producing among American intellectuals, has led to the other, a resurgence of five point Calvinism. Calvinism is closely argued, tightly bound, and scrupulously logical. Its logic, however, is its undoing – because it argues Calvinist conclusions from Calvinist premises that don’t always line up with the Biblical text. The whole edifice rests on a flawed foundation that a careful exegesis of Romans reveals to anyone who is equipped with a little background in pre-modern thought. _________________________________________ Dr. Arnold Fruchtenbaum writes: This book is highly recommended to both Dispensational Calvinists and Covenantal Calvinists as well as to Arminians, and also to all of those who do not see themselves in any of these categories for an honest evaluation of what the Book of Romans really says about God’s program for salvation and God’s program for Israel.

Book Of Wisdom By John Gill (Revised)
$29.49Add to cartAbout the Author John Gill (1697 – 1771) was born in Kettering, Northamptonshire. In his youth, he attended Kettering Grammar School, mastering the Latin classics and learning Greek by age eleven. The young scholar also had a love for Hebrew which would follow him throughout his life. At about twelve years of age, Gill heard a sermon from his pastor, William Wallis, whose text came from Genesis 3:9, “And the Lord called unto Adam, and said unto him, where art thou?” He reflected often on the message of Wallis’ sermon and it eventually led to his conversion. It was not until seven years later, however, that young John made a public profession of his faith in Christ, when he was almost nineteen years of age. His first pastoral work was as an intern at age twenty one, and he later became a pastor in Southwark, England. His pastorate lasted 51 years.

Improving Employee Performance Through Appraisal And Coaching 2nd Edition
$24.95Add to cartWhen Dick Grote, in the Foreword to this book, writes that nothing’s changed,” he is not speaking to the state of the human resources field or the art of performance management, both of which have evolved continuously, profoundly, and for the better. Nor is he describing the content of the new second edition, which, in fact, contains comprehensive material on a whole new generation of jobs in technology, customer service, and other rapidly changing fields, plus brand new examples and two full case studies. What’s not changed is the fact that author Donald Kirkpatrick is one of the leading voices on human resources and training and development. For more than forty years, Kirkpatrick’s four-level performance evaluation model has been the standard throughout the world, and has revolutionized the way enterprises manage, monitor, and optimize employee performance. The new edition of Improving Performance Through Appraisal and Coaching contains all the wisdom and step-by-step processes of the original, with all the guidance and tools you’ll need to implement a program that gets maximum results. The book starts with a 40-question test about your organization and its processes and attitudes regarding performance appraisal and coaching. Taking the test both before and after reading the first section of the book will highlight exactly where your existing initiatives can be improved and new ones put in place. Kirkpatrick then goes on to describe in detail how a culture of coaching builds and enhances performance, and how to build this culture across the entire organization. Examples and eye-opening Notes from the Field both reinforce and complement the author’s sage recommendations, illustrating how his approaches can be adopted in their entirety or deployed piecemeal, depending on your organization’s specific needs. The case studies, both from major employers, prove the overarching value of a proactive performance appraisal program and vibrant coaching environment. The book is packed with ready-to-use forms and, more important, instructions and observations on their effective use. Plus, every chapter is designed for practical application, featuring accessible charts and figures, lists of key points, specific suggestions, cause-and-effect relationships, and much more. While workplaces and jobs have changed dramatically, some truths seem everlasting. One is that in order to obtain exceptional employee performance, you need to build a thorough and consistent appraisal

Burning Bush : On The Orthodox Veneration Of The Mother Of God
$32.99Add to cartThe Burning Bush is the first component in Sergius Bulgakov’s “minor” theological trilogy, followed by The Friend of the Bridegroom and Jacob’s Ladder. This book offers a refutation to the Roman Catholic dogma of the Immaculate Conception. Bulgakov tempers the potential narrowness of such a focus in order to offer an exposition of Orthodox veneration of the Mother of God. The book that results is a consideration of the personal sinlessness of Mary, the truth of which he finds grounded in both gospel witness and the liturgical tradition of the church. Though his most controversial legacy to the theological community, Bulgakov’s Sophiology nevertheless is critical to understanding his Mariology. More than mere sophiological speculation, however, anthropology, eschatology, original sin, human sanctity, and sexuality all find their way into his exploration of the mystery of the woman chosen by God to give birth freely to the Christ.

Jesus The Bible And Homosexuality (Expanded)
$23.00Add to cartIn this revised and expanded best seller, evangelical theologian and former Moderator of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) Jack Rogers makes a biblical case for equal rights for people who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender (LGBT). Throughout history, he observes, Christianity has moved towards ever greater openness and inclusiveness. Today’s church is led by many of those who were once excluded: people of color, women, and divorced and remarried people. He argues that when we interpret the Bible through the lens of Jesus’ redemptive life and ministry, we see that the church is called to grant equal rights to all people. Jesus, the Bible, and Homosexuality describes Rogers’ own change of mind and heart on the issue, charts the church’s history of using biblical passages to oppress marginalized groups, argues for a Christ-centered reading of Scripture, debunks stereotypes about people who are LGBT, refutes the conventional wisdom about the texts that are often used against people who are LGBT, and presents ideas for how the church can heal itself and move forward again. A fascinating combination of personal narrative, theology, and church history, this book is essential reading for all concerned with the future of the church and the health of the nation.
The revised and expanded edition also includes:
* A new preface with ‘stories from the road’ as a result of Rogers’s two year book tour in support of the first edition,
* Updates on recent developments within the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.),
* A new chapter that examines God’s radical welcome for all who have faith as revealed in Scripture,
* A new appendix that maps the recent progress toward LGBT equality in major U.S. denominations, and
* A study guide for group or personal reflection. -
Faithful Disagreement : Wrestling With Scripture In The Midst Of Church Con (Stu

In the process, she provides a constructive resource to help Christians wrestle with Scripture when they disagree.

Just Hospitality : God’s Welcome In A World Of Difference
$29.00Add to cartIn this, her last book, theologian Letty Russell redefines the commonly held notion of hospitality as she challenges her readers to consider what it means to welcome the stranger. In doing so, she implores persons of faith to join the struggles for justice.
Rather than an act of limited, charitable welcome, Russell maintains that true hospitality is a process that requires partnership with the “other” in our divided world. The goal is “just hospitality,” that is, hospitality with justice.
Russell draws on feminist and postcolonial thinking to show how we are colonized and colonizing, each of us bearing the marks of the history that formed us. With an insightful analysis of the power dynamics that stem from our differences and a constructive theological theory of difference itself, Russell proposes concrete strategies to create a more just practice of hospitality.
With careful attention, she writes, we can build a network of hospitality that is truthful about our mistakes and inequities, yet determined to resist the contradictions that drive us apart. This kind of genuine solidarity requires us to cast off oppression and domination in order to truly welcome the stranger. Russell’s lasting message is a highly practical theology for both the academy and the church. The book contains questions for study and reflection.

Martin Luther King Jr For Armchair Theologians
$24.00Add to cartIn this introduction to the life and thought of Martin Luther King Jr., theologian Rufus Burrow explores King’s life as well as his thinking and activism. Burrow addresses those who see King as only a social activist by showing how his studies, particularly his theological studies, influenced, shaped, and transformed the activist path he pursued during his public life. Themes later developed by liberation theology were anticipated by King a decade before. These ideas were honed and shaped by his social activism. This book, with dozens of illustrations by artist Ron Hill, is written for a broad audience. It explores King’s legacy, the continuing importance of his work, and his quest for the beloved community, and it will serve as an excellent introduction to King’s life and thinking.
