  • I Was A Stranger

    $17.99

    Arthur Sutherland places before us our fear of meeting the “other” and the “stranger” in an increasingly global, and frequently dangerous, village. Various social, political, and historical factors have conspired to leave us in a veritable crisis: the decline of hospitality.

    Why is this a crisis? Why should we practice hospitality? What is it about Christian theology that compels us to think about hospitality in the first place? Sutherland offers a passionate plea to recover and rediscover hospitality, and to respond to the divine appeal to welcome the stranger.

    Therein lies the central concern of the book: that hospitality is not simply the practice of a virtue but is integral to the very nature of Christianity’s position toward God, self, and the world-it is at the very center of what it means to be a Christian and to think theologically. He offers a challenging definition of hospitality and calls us to a practice that is the virtue by which the church stands or falls.

    Drawing on modern theologians (including Howard Thurman, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Karl Barth, Martin Luther King Jr., and Letty Russell) and considering American slavery, the Holocaust, feminism, and prisons, Sutherland eloquently presents a Christian theology of hospitality.

  • In Search Of The Lost

    $20.00

    In 2003, a story shook the Anglican world in general and Anglican monastic life in particular. On August 8th, seven members of The Melanesian Brotherhood, an Anglican order of Christian brothers living a simple and prayerful life and known for their peace work throughout the South Pacific and beyond, were brutally murdered as a result of ethnic conflict in the Solomon Islands. They had been taken hostage five months earlier.

    The Melanesian Brotherhood is the largest Anglican religious community in the world with over 300 brothers and more than 300 novices and has received a United Nations award for its peace work. From 1990-2005, Richard Carter, a British priest, was tutor, chaplain to the Melanesian Brotherhood, eventually becoming a brother himself. This extraordinary, powerful and moving book is based on his diaries from that agonizing time for the Community. It tells the harrowing story of the loss of seven good, young and holy lives and the aftermath of those deaths. It tells the story of individuals and a community trying to make sense of faith in the face of fierce conflict and tragedy. It recounts the challenge of living out the Christian faith when confronted by great fear and loss. It is thus a story for everyman. Rowan Williams writes a preface.

  • Handfuls Of Purpose

    $28.00

    Print on demand
    Many have been blessed by the letters of Ruth Bryan, for she continually pointed people back to Christ. Here in her diary, one sees that same dedication as she continually points her own heart back to Jesus. Scattered throughout her entries, she likens herself to her biblical namesake, Ruth the Moabitess. Ruth Bryan reckons herself a meager gleaner in the fields of the gracious, loving, and greater Boaz, Jesus Christ. Observing the inner life of Ruth Bryan is a reminder to all believers of the boundless mercies of Christ, for what are we that such “handfuls of purpose” should be dropped for us?

Then His spirit lifted me up and I grew in understanding. But as I was lifted, the powers of this world attacked. First, attacks came through my church. Then my kids are kidnapped by the demonic Sobek Ra cult… my son, daughter and a friend grabbed in the middle of the night by these evil people. We chase them through the Columbia Gorge from the Vista House in Oregon to Maryhill, Washington ending at a full scale replica of Stonehenge. This is the story of Gods power: the ANASTASIS DUNAMIS

  • 12 Days Of Christmas

    $13.95

    The twelve days of Christmas run from December 26 to January 6, the Feast of the Epiphany, the date on which we traditionally recall the Magin’s arrival to present gifts to the infant Jesus. For many, the sacred meaning of these days is lost. By Christmas night we are saturated with the holiday hype, overfed with music and food, and maybe quite disappointed that the presents we received have not fulfilled us. Almquist invites readers to go deeper than the tinsel and wrappings to the source of all the good gifts in life: love, forgiveness, joy, hope, and so on. These are gifts that, once unwrapped, will last and satisfy our spiritual cravings.

  • Human Person In Gods World

    $35.99

    Austin Farrer’s important contribution to philosophical and theological anthropology is discussed here by the six main contributors to the Austin Farrer Centenary Conference held at Oriel College in 2004.

    After an Introductory survey by Basil Mitchell, Nancy Murphy provides an in-depth study of Farrer’s defence of the freedom of the will, Edward Henderson brings out the key notion of double agency in Farrer’s conception of the way God acts in and through the human person. Brian Hebblethwaite explores Farrer’s writings for the light they throw on creation and evolution, with special reference to the problems of providence and evil. David Brown extends Farrer’s insights on the role of images in biblical revelation to their role in natural religion, and Douglas Hedley shows how Farrer’s – and Mitchell’s – work on the imagination enriches our understanding of the relation between faith and reason. The Centenary Conference sermon by the Bishop of Oxford is also appended.

  • Raising Your Spirited Child

    $16.99

    Newly revised, featuring the most up-to-date research, effective strategies, and real-life stories

    The spirited child-often called “difficult” or “strong-willed”-possesses traits we value in adults yet find challenging in children. Research shows that spirited kids are wired to be “more”-by temperament, they are more intense, sensitive, perceptive, persistent, and uncomfortable with change than the average child. In this revised edition of the award-winning classic, voted one of the top twenty books for parents, Kurcinka provides vivid examples and a refreshingly positive viewpoint. Raising Your Spirited Child will help you:

    understand your child’s-and your own-temperamental traits
    discover the power of positive-rather than negative-labels
    cope with the tantrums and power struggles when they do occur
    plan for success with a simple four-step program
    develop strategies for handling mealtimes, sibling rivalry, bedtimes, holidays, and school, among other situations

  • Restless Heart : Finding Our Spiritual Home In Times Of Loneliness

    $20.00

    A thoughtful exploration of loneliness, in the tradition of Henri Nouwen’s classic Reaching Out. Loneliness may be more pervasive now than at any other time in human history. Cell phones and “instant messaging” not withstanding, our longing for meaningful connections seems to increase in direct proportion to our accessibility.

    In The Restless Heart, Ronald Rolheiser identifies different types of loneliness and discusses the dangers and opportunities they represent in our lives. Using contemporary parables from literature, film, and his own life, he shows that loneliness can be a tremendously creative and even valuable force when it is recognized, accepted and used as a dynamic catalyst. With his trademark clarity of vision, honesty, and intelligence, Rolheiser offers a distinctively Christian approach to living an examined, involved life and presents suggestions that will free readers to discover greater meaning and fulfillment in their own lives.

  • God Gave Us Christmas

    $10.99

    As Little Cub and her family prepare to celebrate the most special day of the year, the curious young polar bear has something on her mind: Who invented Christmas?” she asked. “Is God more important than Santa?”

    Her questions reflect the confusion of so many children during the holiday season. And this heartwarming story takes them on a wonderful journey of discovery – right to the heart of Christmas.

    To help her child understand more about God and why he “invented” Christmas, Mama Bear takes Little Cub on a polar expedition. Along the way they find many signs that God is close by: the dancing lights of the northern skies, an early morning star, the power of a mighty glacier.

    Through Mama’s gentle guidance, Little Cub learns that God loves her and everyone – polar bear, moose, or human – so much that he gave us Jesus, the very best gift of all.

    Sequel to God Gave Us You and God Gave Us Two.

  • Unlit Path : One Familys Journey Toward The Light Of Truth

    $17.49

    What happens when love is not enough? The answer lies in this true story of one family’s journey through the world of foster care and adoption within the United States. It is a personal account, encompassing both heartbreak and joy, while realistically embracing the intrinsic challenges of parenting the “hard to place” child. The long-term affects of neglect and abandonment, along with the issues of Reactive Attachment Disorder, sexual abuse, mental illness, and false allegations are discussed in the context of the family’s four biological, five adopted and nine foster children. From a prospective parent’s standpoint, this book dispels unrealistic and idealized expectations, yet from a Christian standpoint, it offers spiritual insight into understanding, acceptance and finally, forgiveness. Creatively written, this is a story that needs to be told, for although tragic in nature, it raises the awareness of the reader to the inherent risks and rewards of adoption.

  • 1 Liner Wisdom For Todays Guys

    $10.99

    One-liners. The jokes are known for little more than eliciting a groan or two from you. But since Jeffery Dean came up with this handy booklet for teens, one-liners have become a handy tool.

Each is thought-provoking. Bring a little simplicity back to your complicated life. Don’t expect the world’s problems to be solved or all of your personal troubles to immediately go away. But do look for plenty of food for thought about what really matters. By the way, the cheese that doesn’t belong to you? It’s nacho cheese.

  • Blessed Is She

    WE THE PEOPLE of the United States of America are victims of identity theft! History revisionists, whose goal is to separate the people of this country from their Christian roots, are striving to convince unsuspecting citizens, especially those who are unfamiliar with early American history, that the Founding Fathers were something other than Bible- believing Christians who intended that the government they founded was to be guided by precepts of the Judeo-Christian Bible. Information presented here is intended to help Americans rediscover their Godly heritage and to reintroduce them to some of the preeminent men and women who had the courage, intelligence, wisdom, and foresight to look to God for guidance in creating our foundational documents and our systems of government and commerce. We cannot allow our children and grandchildren to be misled regarding their true heritage.

  • Coaching For Emotional Intelligence

    $18.95

    At some point in their careers, all managers face a frustrating and seemingly insurmountable challenge — the highly intelligent, highly skilled direct report who is failing when he should be excelling. Often, this employee is destroying not only his own career, but also the morale of the rest of the team. While this behavior may initially seem willful, it is more than likely due to a lack of emotional intelligence — the ability to comprehend one’s emotions, empathize with the feelings of others, and interact with people in ways that promote congenial working relationships. More than any other trait, emotional intelligence is the one variable that can transform a mediocre employee into an exceptional one. Managers now have a new and demanding role. They must become coaches who help their employees to develop emotional intelligence and the positive interpersonal relationships that result. And while this kind of corrective coaching may seem daunting and unpleasant to many managers, it is also achievable with the right tools. In Coaching for Emotional Intelligence, Bob Wall offers coaching strategies that will enable every manager to elicit excellence by improving the negative behaviors and communications flaws that are undermining an employee’s performance. The book provides a structured format for formulating and delivering both praise and corrective feedback, as well as a step-by-step method and sample scripts for conducting a coaching session. Readers will: Overcome the fear of coaching on sensitive, personal issues. Learn the critical importance of praise–and how to give it. Understand the influences that shaped the behaviors of the individual being coached. Determine whether an employee is responding to corrective coaching, when to keep him — and when to fire him. Create an action plan for teaching employees to identify and alter unwanted behavior. Master spontaneous coaching: delivering praise in 15-20 seconds — and corrective feedback within 45 seconds. Formulate structured conversations when corrective coaching isn’t working. Create successful, detailed, and clear personal, team, and work evaluations and mission statements. The first book of its kind, Coaching for Emotional Intelligence is a thoughtful, realistic, and accessible guide that will change the way managers lead in the workplace — and will ensure that their employees are reaching their full potential.

  • Jesse : The Life And Pilgrimage Of Jesse Jackson

    $33.99

    Raised in the segregated South, out of abject beginnings in South Carolina poverty and illegitimacy, heir apparent to Martin Luther King, Jr., twice a presidential candidate, recognized on the streets of South Central L.A., Ghana, Armenia, and Damascus, Jesse Jackson is a figure unique not only in American politics, but in American history. As James Baldwin noted during Jackson’s 1984 presidential campaign, “His presence presents the American Republic with questions and choices it has spent all its history until this hour trying to avoid…And nothing will ever again be what it was before.”

    Marshall Frady has been given closer access to Jackson and his family for a more sustained period of time than any previous writer. He has traveled with Jackson in the U.S., Africa, Russia, and the Middle East, and has conducted countless interviews with his colleagues and rivals of the last thirty years. The result is the most astute and compelling portrait of the man we are ever likely to have. Jesse is an enthralling journey that reveals the nonstop demands of character and sets them against the fundamental, dividing prism of race in America.

  • Sex And The Single Savior

    $38.00

    Probing into numerous questions about gender and sexuality, Dale Martin delves into the biblical texts anew and unearths surprising findings. Avoiding preconceptions about ancient sexuality, he explores the ethics of desire and marriage and pays careful attention to the original meanings of words, especially those used as evidence of Paul’s opposition to homosexuality. For example, after a remarkably faithful reading of the scriptural texts, Martin concludes that our contemporary obsession with marriage-and the whole search for the “right” sexual relationships-is antithetical to the message of the gospel. In all of these essays, however, Martin argues for engaging Scripture in a way that goes beyond the standard historical-critical questions and the assumptions of textual agency in order to find a faith that has no foundations other than Jesus Christ.

  • Compassion As A Subversive Activity

    $14.95

    To Dr. David Urion’s question, How can I help you? the father of the young boy with autism responded in a small voice that choked back some tears, Be with us. Keep us company. This is so lonely.

    This book is part of Dr. Urion’s attempt to keep his promise, a promise which in fact we all made to this family and to many families on the day of their child’s baptism. Baptism by baptism, in each of our faith communities, we vow to do everything in our power to support them in their life in God.

    Urion beckons us to contemplate the miraculous healings in the Gospel of Mark as subversive political acts of power that provide examples of restoring the integrity and the wholeness of the community, not just for the persons who are overtly healed but for the community as well. The tales of power he invites us to consider in this book reflect upon the extraordinary and paradoxical power of the powerless.

    The kingdom of God that is at hand is just this: the poor, the sick, the outcast. Their integration into the community restores creation to the radical inclusiveness with which it began and that heals us all.

  • Responsive Labor : A Theology Of Work

    $30.00

    Most Christians work outside the church, so for many-if not most-of us, daily labor seems divorced from Christian beliefs and ethics. Work is an inevitable factor of human existence, and yet we do not have appropriate theological resources to help us reflect on its nature and meaning in light of Christian understanding and contemporary American culture. How can we as Christians understand our work as a dimension of our faith?

    After several years of extensive research, which included numerous interviews with working Christians across the United States, David Jensen provides a full look at the issue, taking seriously the situation of workers in American society and drawing on the insights of liturgical, practical, and constructive theology. What results is an insightful theological investigation into daily labor in light of Christian faith.

  • Won By Love

    In Roe v. Wade, perhaps the most controversial United States Supreme Court decision, Norma McCorvey fought for and won the right to secure an abortion. Though she never had an abortion, under the pseudonym “Jane Roe,” Norma reluctantly became the poster child for the pro-choice movement.

    Over the next two decades, Norma experienced the grief and despair of millions of women who chose to abort their babies; she witnessed the destruction of thousands of human lives in abortion clinics where she worked; and the “champion” of the pro-choice movement was soon being crushed by the weight of so much pain, so much death, and so many ill-considered “choices.”

    Finally, she began to break. She found out that the real choice she had been burdened with was not about abortion but about eternal life. It was a choice that would shock the world and change Norma’s life forever.

  • Jesus Blood And Righteousness

    $17.99

    The question of whether Paul teaches that Christ’s righteousness is imputed to the believer has been debated for roughly four hundred years. Some of the questions that arise are: What is the connection between Adam and the rest of the human race? How did Christ fulfill the role of the second or new Adam? How can the “ungodly” stand before a righteous God?

    In Jesus’ Blood and Righteousness, Brian Vickers investigates the key Pauline texts linked historically to the topic of imputation. Though Vickers spends a good deal of time on the particulars of each text, he keeps one eye on the broader biblical horizon; like any doctrine, imputation must be investigated exegetically and synthetically. This book, and its conclusion that the imputation of Christ’s righteousness is a legitimate and necessary synthesis of Paul’s teaching, is a valuable contribution to the ongoing debate on imputation

  • Creation And Chaos In The Primeval Era And The Eschaton

    $63.99

    Foreword by Peter Machinist

    Hermann Gunkel’s groundbreaking Schopfung und Chaos, originally published in German in 1895, is here translated in its entirety into English for the first time. Even though available only in German, this work by Gunkel has had a profound influence on modern biblical scholarship.

    Discovering a number of parallels between the biblical creation accounts and a Babylonian creation account, the Enuma Elish, Gunkel argues that ancient Babylonian traditions shaped the Hebrew people’s perceptions both of God’s creative activity at the beginning of time and of God’s re-creative activity at the end of time.

    Including illuminating introductory pieces by eminent scholar Peter Machinist and by translator K. William Whitney, Gunkel’s Creation and Chaos will appeal to serious students and scholars in the area of biblical studies.
