Uniquely His Love Matilda
$14.99Add to cartUniquely His is a story of God’s grace, mercy, and love given to a very ordinary woman who is discovering every day that God had an awesome plan for the youngest of fourteen children. I always felt I was a mistake and never should have been born. I was forty-three years old before I knew that God was excited on the day of my birth. Insecurity has many faces. It can be hidden behind a loud, aggressive response; a quiet, withdrawn demeanor; a determined drive to succeed; or a fear of failure. It is whatever keeps us from becoming real people. It all began in a garden when man sinned, but it was in a garden that God had a plan to give back what the enemy stole.

God Wants A Relationship Not A Performance
$18.99Add to cartIT’S ALL ABOUT GOD The curtain rises. Magnificent applause. And starring in the leading role is…God. God Wants a Relationship Not a Performance takes a look at the wonderfully written script for successful living in Romans 5-8. But the drama is not about us-doing our best to try to impress God. It’s about God doing what we could never do. When it comes to victorious living in the Christian life, God takes the leading role. However, we too often convince ourselves a human being is capable of performing to please God. Our human performance doesn’t cut it with God. Only our acceptance of Jesus Christ as the Savior and Lord of our lives brings heaven to its feet.

Grain Of Sand
$21.99Add to cartMan is like a grain of sand, pushed by life upon the land. As he moves from place to place, he becomes, like sand, a part of all that he encounters.

Creation Unveiled
$23.99Add to cartA concerned young activist proposes a way out of our current ecological predicament.But, the environmental movement is not going to like either of his two policy recommendations: repent of all your sins, and then accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. But Daniel Salomon, a champion of defending unpopular opinions, pleads with the environmental and animal movements to help them come to the realization that these two policy recommendations may be the only way out of planetary annihilation. Following in the tradition of Christian environmentalism, Creation Unveiled opens up the unique perspectives of Christian anthropologist Rene Girard. It applies his ideas and perspectives to the environmental and animal movements, with the goal of building the case that the God of the Bible is a very good and a very green God. To alienate Him would be to alienate the environmentalist or animal activist’s best defense for saving the planet.

Ease The Squeeze
$21.99Add to cartEconomic uncertainty, layoffs, corporate scandals, stock market losses, excessive credit card debt, inability to save for the future, stress, overload, relationships in turmoil, choices, priorities– Americans are feeling SQUEEZED! We save less, give less, declare bankruptcy more, and are more in debt than ever before. Though we are more prosperous as a nation than ever before, the personal financial trends that are sweeping our country and generation are sobering. Our savings rate has dipped from 12% to 1%. We file 1.4 million bankruptices a year versus 100,000 in the 1950s. Our government debt is more than 6 Trillion dollars. The average American has 16.7 credit cards with $8367 of debt. The annual number of divorces has quadrupled to 1.2 million, and our giving has decreased from 6% to 2.6%. We pay an average of $1000 a year in interest and give only $754 a year.
Surveys show that for many people these trends are a result of their financial situation, a lack of financial training, or a lack of proper planning and priorties. Ease the Squeeze will help you develop a plan, train you to manage your money instead of it managing you, and chart your course for your life, your finances, and your giving! The early feedback has shown that this book will lead people to financially free lives and help them develop purposeful plans for getting out of debt; establishing savings; setting up a budget; giving; and regaining control of their time, plans, relationships and finances. It will also strengthen family and faith in the process! We are under siege, and it is time to ACT NOW to Ease the Squeeze.

Upside Down Marriage
$13.49Add to cartJust for fun let’s view our marriages like a coach would view building a successful athletic team… We have to decide whether or not we are going to be spectators or players. Watching a basketball game is fun. Attending a pep rally for our favorite team is exciting. Having season tickets is nice. But this is one game we do not want to be sitting in the stands watching others play the game. We do not want to be on the sidelines cheering for our team or for our families. This is one game, one adventure we want to come away with sweat on our brow, dirt on our pants, soreness in our muscles, and a heart filled with excitement. We do not want to be left behind while other couples move ahead in their marriages. Marriage is the adventure of a lifetime. The game of all games. The sport of all sports. A healthy marriage, a healthy home is worth the price. It is worth the hard work. It is worth the sweat equity. It is one game we should not mind getting banged up and bruised. It is one game in which we do not want to miss the practices. We will become better husbands due to the hard work and the practicing.

Theres Enough Woman Left To Be Your Lady
$17.99Add to cartUsing biblical characters such as the woman with an issue of blood, Junious Epps Jr. shows how women are bleeding with issues that keep them bent over until they reach out to touch the hem of Jesus’ garment. Life knocks us all off balance, sometimes making it hard to get back on our feet. Hot rays of testing can turn a woman’s mind, home, job, and even church life into a wilderness of relentless turmoil. Having felt disconnected, isolated, and not able to make sense of blatant hypocrisy, women realize that the only answer to their survival is to tread the “wilderness” of rejection, which ultimately strengthens them to totally submit to God’s Spirit. Dr. Epps reminds women that in moments of indecision, God offers them a breakthrough revelation that they need to confront their trials and overcome their obstacles. Only in the wilderness can they discover their true path in life, ministry, fellowship, and anointing. There’s Enough Woman Left to Be Your Lady is a companion for every woman who wants to walk through even the most difficult days side by side with her Lord.

Forgiving And Reconciling (Revised)
$28.99Add to cartPsychologist and counselor Everett Worthington, the leading Christian researcher on forgiveness, says that forgiving is a gift we give to others. When we offer forgiveness to others as an altruistic gift, it is more effective than when we forgive only for our own benefit in an effort to “get over” the hurt. True forgiveness is accomplished through a careful process of understanding both the offense and the offender, and taking active steps to forgiveness. In this insightful and practical book, Worthington provides a clinically proven stategy and a wealth of resources for moving toward forgiveness.

Whats Good About This News
$28.00Add to cartIn this study of the Gospels and the book of Galatians, David Bartlett explores how to reconcile the biblical text’s message to our contemporary context and a particular congregation’s character and need. While, as he shows, important continuities exist in the way the good news is understood throughout the New Testament, precisely what it looks like and how Christians respond to it differs between Mark, Paul, John, and the rest of the writers. Consequently, he demonstrates, preachers have options as they try to discern what news a congregation needs to hear on a particular Sunday. Including sample sermons, What’s Good about This News? shows how each of these biblical texts remains a redemptive word for today’s people.

Joseph Daniel Calling
$14.99Add to cartIn the face of political instabilities, economic reversals, fear, and uncertainty, Kingdom opportunities not obvious to the world are quietly on the rise. These Kingdom agendas reflect an interlinking of secular enterprises with overriding ministry objectives. What is emerging is a move of God in the marketplace that will parallel the rise of the parachurch ministry movement of the early fifties. At the forefront of this movement is a group of men and women of God called in the same way as Joseph and Daniel of the Bible. Modern-day Josephs and Daniels will serve strategically as instruments of God’s purpose in secular positions of influence within seats of power of this world. This book addresses the dynamics of this calling, God’s economy, and the preparation, character, and challenges of these uniquely called Josephs and Daniels. Among other agendas, they will be facilitators of the release of the wealth of the wicked into Kingdom initiatives.

Teaching The Art Of Cosmetics
$14.99Add to cartThis is not just a how-to book to change the outside appearance but also to help change the inside. In everything we do, we should in some way correlate God’s Word. He needs to be everything in life before life can be everything it can be. I have found that even women who confess to have a relationship with God are still trying to impress the people of the world with the way they look on the outside but forget about changing the inside. Looking your best is important but not the most important. When we fix our eyes on Jesus first, the transformation both inside and outside will be remarkable. This is a book on training in skin care and makeup but more importantly on how to keep the training of God’s Word in all we do.

Against Christianity
$15.00Add to cartPreface
1. Against Christianity
2. Against Theology
3. Against Sacraments
4. Against Ethics
5. For Constantine
NotesAdditional Info
How could a conservative Christian, an ordained minister with a beard, no less be against not only Christianity, but theology, sacraments, and ethics as well? Yet that is the stance Peter Leithart takes in this provocative “theological bricolage.”Seeking to rethink evangelical notions of culture, church, and state, Leithart offers a series of short essays, aphorisms, and parables that challenge the current dichotomies that govern both Christian and non-Christian thinking about church and state, the secular and the religious.
But his argument isn’t limited to being merely “against.” Leithart reveals a much larger vision of Christian society, defined by the stories, symbols, rituals, and rules of a renewed community, the city of God.

Use Of The Septuagint In New Testament Research
$33.99Add to cartToo often the Septuagint is misunderstood or, worse, ignored in New Testament studies. In this book R. Timothy McLay makes a sustained argument for the influence of the Greek Jewish Scriptures on the New Testament and offers basic principles for bridging the research gap between these two critical texts.
McLay explains the use of the Septuagint in the New Testament by looking in depth at actual New Testament citations of the Jewish Scriptures. This work reveals the true extent of the Septuagint’s impact on the text and theology of the New Testament. Indeed, given the textual diversity that existed during the first century, the Jewish Scriptures as they were known, read, and interpreted in the Greek language provided the basis for much, if not most, of the interpretive context of the New Testament writers.
Complete with English translations, a glossary of terms, an extensive bibliography, and helpful indexes, this book will give readers a new appreciation of the Septuagint as an important tool for interpreting the New Testament.

Science And The Study Of God
$25.50Add to cartReligion and science today are often seen as enemies battling for human hearts and minds. In this new book Alan Padgett takes a postmodern turn, arguing that they can and should work together collegially, developing a worldview that is at once spiritually meaningful and scientifically sound.
Pursuing a perspective that he calls the “mutuality model,” Padgett highlights the contributions that both religion and science make to a full understanding of the world and our place in it. He argues convincingly that the natural sciences and theology, even though they have their own domain as disciplines, can rationally influence each other without giving up their distinctive methods.
The book explores the nature of informal reason and worldviews, the character of theology as a spiritual and academic discipline, and the question of what counts as natural science. Along the way, Padgett discusses such topics as thermodynamics, time, resurrection, and the historical Jesus to illustrate his powerful mutuality model.

Christ On Trial
$19.99Add to cartThe trial, conviction, and death of an innocent man 2,000 years ago have particular resonance today. Atrocities from around the world shake us nearly every day, and we all experience trials in our own lives too. In this book the new Archbishop of Canterbury looks in depth at the trial of Jesus, using it to teach readers how to face the challenges of life in today’s trying times.
Bringing the biblical accounts of Jesus’ trial vividly to life, Rowan Williams highlights what can be learned about Jesus from each of the four Gospel portraits. Mark shows a mysterious figure revealed as the Son of God. Matthew describes the Wisdom of God tried by foolish men. Luke presents a divine stranger. John speaks of the paradox of divinity submitting to judgement. These illuminating discussions are followed by a reflection on Christian martyrdom and a meditation on tyranny, freedom, and truth. A set of discussion questions and a thought-provoking prayer after each chapter make “Christ on Trial” an ideal book for study groups.
Throughout the book Williams draws not only from the Bible but also from fiction, drama, and current events, pointing up ways in which society today continues to put Christ on trial. Even more, he argues that all Christians stand with Jesus before a watching world. Though we may not be directly confronted with death, we are nevertheless called daily to respond to the falsehood of such lures as power, influence, and prestige.
Several words aptly describe this book by Rowan Williams: Profound. Incisive. Literary. Contemporary. Relevant. Prophetic. “Christ on Trial” will move and change those who read it.

Beyond The Collection Plate
$20.99Add to cartThis is a comprehensive guide to building healthy congregational attitudes and practices toward managing and spending financial resources.
Much has been written about how churches can raise money. Less guidance is available to congregations about what to do with financial resources once they have been gathered in. Even less has been offered by way of a comprehensive view of congregational finances, one that demonstrates how individual attitudes toward giving money and congregational attitudes toward managing and spending money are inextricably linked together.
In this book Michael Durall paints a wide-ranging picture of how churches can engender healthy attitudes and practices toward money among their members. How can churches counteract the consumerist mentality in society in ways that lead to simpler living and more sacrificial giving? How can churches tell which stewardship practices and programs are genuinely helpful, and which are seriously outdated? How can we build a strong bond between the day-to-day lives of parishioners and their charitable giving? What opportunities for better stewardship do the unique natures of each individual congregation present?
Written for pastors, finance committees, and everyone involved in the financial life of congregations, Beyond the Collection Plate will serve as an indispensable guide to how the priorities of God’s kingdom can determine how money in the church is raised, managed, and spent.
This book is intended to help readers strengthen the bond between parishioners’ daily lives and their charitable giving. It analyzes prevailing attitudes in church toward giving and managing money, demonstrates how many prevailing practices in stewardship campaigns and fundraising have lost their effectiveness, and provides strategies for encouraging more sacrificial giving.

Walking In Humility
$16.49Add to cartWalking in Humility challenges the believer to follow Christ through walking in submissive obedience to God. All of us must follow the way of Christ “who humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross” (Philippians 2:8). With many penetrating discussions of Scripture, illustrations, and quotes, Mike discusses what humility means, and then shows how we can live as God requires (Micah 6:8). “The presentation of humility as it relates to the core Christian truths was both stimulating and challenging…. Mike has a very discipleship-oriented approach to living the Christian life. He didn’t make it sound easy but surely worth the effort.” -Author Ron Bennett, National Leadership Team, The Navigators Church Discipleship Ministry “The insight and hands-on advice included in Mike Vincent’s Walking in Humility provide a guide for individuals who eagerly desire to live as Spirit-filled believers who have determined that life is not about them.” -Pastor Dan Brenton, Fellowship Bible Church, Roswell, Georgia (from the Foreword) “Though we often discuss the ideal of humility, we rarely practice it. Jesus lived it…. Mike Vincent shows how we can allow Christ to live His life through us as we yield authority to His will.” -Stephen Doggett, Associate Executive Director, Evangelical Free Church Mission “Walking in Humility by Mike Vincent wonderfully captures the simplicity and challenge of walking humbly with Christ….

You might be surprised by what you see.

1st Christian : Universal Truth In The Teachings Of Jesus
$19.99Add to cartIn his new book Paul Zahl seeks a broader understanding of the life and teachings of Jesus. What was it within his message that burst his first-century Jewish context? What was creative, fresh, and universal about his message? What did Jesus maintain, within his own setting and period, that is still true and applicable today? In pursuit of these questions Zahl swims against the current of modern scholarship, arguing that Jesus was more “Christian” than “Jewish.” Jesus’ teaching concerning the kingdom of God is replete with Christian perspectives on personhood and salvation, and his insights into original sin and grace are closer to core Christianity than much recent literature acknowledges. A pleasure to read, The First Christian makes a significant new contribution to today’s quest for the historical Jesus.

Mapping Postmodernism : A Survey Of Christian Options
$35.99Add to cartIVP Print On Demand Title
By now we’ve all heard the word postmodernism.
*But what is it?
*Can it be defined?
*Does it really represent a monumental shift away from how we use to think about right and wrong, truth, the world, and even the whole cosmos?
* Most important, how should Christians respond?Robert C. Greer helps us grasp the nature of the shifts in thinking and believing that are taking place in our world. More important, he helps us navigate the complex debate among Christians as to how best to respond to these new challenges. Astutely he maps four different ways Christian thinkers have recommended we respond. These alternatives are represented by four theologians: Francis Schaeffer, Karl Barth, John Hick and George Lindbeck. Greer warns that being merely for or against postmodernism is inadequate. He guides us across the terrain of alternatives along a path that leads neither back to the land of modernism nor to the wild frontiers of postmodernist relativism. Acknowledging the relative strengths and weaknesses of these options, Greer turns us to a thoroughly Christian theology that points beyond them to the true Subject who makes knowledge possible through the language of revelation and relationship with God. This book is an illuminating map for all those who feel lost in the maze of conflicting analyses of postmodernism and are looking for a faithful way forward .

Escape : Exodus
$11.95Add to cartCommentary on Exodus. God’s voice breaks into Abram’s consciousness. The livestock farmer responds with faith, following God’s direction to an unknown land.
Meanwhile, in the heavenlies, the angels eagerly watch as God promises to make the childless Abram into Abraham, the father of a great nation – a people through whom God will fulfill his purpose in creation.
Abraham . . . Isaac . . . Jacob and Esau . . . Joseph and his brothers . . . a famine that forces the clan’s move to Egypt, where they suffer in slavery . . . the unglamorous rise of the great leader Moses.
Finally the stage is set for some of the greatest events in human history: the escape of the Israelite people from Egypt, their miraculous survival in the desert, and their arrival at the land they would call their own.
In The Escape, you can experience the drama in a new way by watching the events from two perspectives: that of the earthly participants and that of the angels in the glorious heavenly realm. At those times when the door opens to join heaven and earth, you will understand with new insight the mysteries of God at work in his creation.

Being Gods Man In The Search For Success (Student/Study Guide)
$11.99Add to cartI’ve worked hard to get where I am. I’ve overcome great obstacles. I’ve earned it. No one had a greater right to say those statements more than King David. He rose from the fields of Palestine to the palace of power and privilege. He’d made it. But now that he was on top, would he continue to grow spiritually in the midst of his success?
Self-sufficiency is a temptation every man faces. But we can’t be both self-sufficient and on the move spiritually at the same time. Just as in David’s life, God often allows us to experience the consequences of self-sufficiency so that we can rediscover our need for his leadership and empowerment in our lives. In the end, the crushing blows we face serve to humble us and forge the basis for the next wave of spiritual momentum in our lives.

Window Of My Soul
$21.99Add to cartIt has been said that if a person can remember ten percent of a speech, he or she is doing well. That certainly goes for me, which is why I regularly take notes. However, many years ago I attended a seminar taught by a dear friend whose teachings I greatly respect. I have remembered one point from that seminar: When you pray, quit asking God, “Help me do this or that” (which doesn’t mean that sometimes we don’t need help). Rather, ask God, “Commit me to do today what is right.” If I am committed to do what is right each day, God directs me to make better decisions. Of course, I sometimes say or do the wrong thing. After all, I am just a pilgrim here. I ask forgiveness for the mistakes, learn from them, and press on to the goal set before me. I give God all the glory and praise for the words of encouragement He has given to me. As I share them, my prayer is that others will be encouraged as well.
