Ninive Y El Crucero De La Muer – (Spanish)
$13.99Add to cart“… Esta generacion es mala; demanda seal, pero seal no le sera dada, sino la seal de Jonas. Porque asi como Jonas fue seal a los ninivitas, tambien lo sera el Hijo del Hombre a esta generacion” (Lucas 11:29-30, RVR1960).
Las palabras de Jesus inspiran esta alegoria sobre los tiempos actuales basada en el libro de Jonas, que nos transporta a un mundo donde el arrepentimiento y la salvacion provista por Dios se han convertido en un mensaje de labios para afuera. Los pristinos se han olvidado del encargo del Gran Autor y se jactan de no ser como los demas grupos humanos que quedan sobre el planeta: ilustrados, sobrevivientes y salvajes. Cuando la joven y menospreciada Kat Jenkins pierde el lujoso crucero que sus padres le pagaron con esfuerzo, descubre que el amor de su vida y una mision aun mas grande la aguardan en tierra, entre los mas vulnerables y desfavorecidos. Pero, como llegar a Ninive cuando se halla rodeada de una sociedad corrupta y degradada, en la que los nios y jovenes solo son vistos como mercancia? A traves de la narrativa envolvente que mantiene en suspenso a sus lectores, el autor nos sumerge en las profundidades de un mensaje que atae a jovenes y adultos de “esta generacion”.

Haunted Man : A Forgotten Classic Abridged And Annotated By Dave Swavely
$11.99Add to cartWhat is a Forgotten Classic?
Great works by some of the world’s best fiction writers have nevertheless gone largely unnoticed. Unfortunate timing in the marketplace, inadequate distribution, and changes in public taste are just a few of the reasons for this. Yet many of these works can be as enjoyable and meaningful as far more famous books. Cruciform Press is excited to begin publishing some forgotten classics of special interest to those who enjoy fiction that intelligently explores matters of faith.
This edition of Haunted Man, by Charles Dickens, has been abridged significantly to make it more enjoyable for modern readers, while retaining every essential element of the story. It also includes an introduction with character descriptions and other helpful information, and a thought-provoking afterword discussing some of the spiritual issues addressed by the book.
A college professor named Redlaw is a good man plagued by bad memories of a traumatic childhood, compounded by a terrible betrayal and loss during his young adulthood. When an ethereal demonic doppelganger of himself appears and offers to wipe away those memories, Redlaw eagerly accepts, and also receives the ability to spread this “gift” to others.
Featuring the breathless suspense, colorful characters, and witty humor that has made Dickens such a beloved author, the story also tackles some of the deepest philosophical and theological questions ever raised in his writings. His answer to “the problem of evil” is of both literary and religious interest.
Charles Dickens (1812-1870) is one of the most popular and respected authors in history (A Christmas Carol, Oliver Twist, David Copperfield, A Tale of Two Cities, and many more). Dave Swavely is a Dickens fan who knows what it’s like to be haunted by the past and delivered by the cross of Christ.

Book Of Mysteries
$19.99Add to cartJonathan Cahn, who caused a national and international stir with the New York Times best seller The Harbinger and then The Mystery of the Shemitah, now brings us a treasure chest, which contains some of the greatest mysteries of all time.

The Book of Mysteries takes the readers on a journey of divine revelation through ancient scriptures, the laws of creation, the deep of God’s Word, the hidden streams of history, the most important keys of spiritual truth, end-time mysteries, and the secrets of life.
The Book of Mysteries opens up with a traveler and his encounter with a man known only as “the teacher.” The teacher takes him on an odyssey through desert mountains, valleys, gardens and plains, encounters with nomadic tent dwellers, caverns and ancient ruins, chambers of scrolls and vessels, and more. The reader is taken along to partake in the journey and in all the teachings and revelations. The traveler keeps a journal, in which he writes down each of the mysteries given to him by the teacher in his one-year odyssey–365 different mysteries–one for each day of the year. Thus, on top of everything else, The Book of Mysteries is also a daily devotional unlike any other. And each mystery contains a special mission for each day of the year, a mission that takes the revelation and applies it to reality for a life-changing journey.

Man He Never Was
$15.99Add to cartTorren Daniels has been missing for two and a half years. His wife has moved on and is in a serious relationship. His kids have accepted his death. So when he shows up on their front porch two years and six months to the day he disappeared, they’re shocked and not sure how to react, mostly because Torren was a man full of platitudes and promises-which he broke 90 percent of the time-and a wicked temper. None of them can say they’re truly glad he’s back. Good man to the community, the business world. But behind closed doors? Not so much.
But Torren has changed. Radically changed. His wife and kids come first. He keeps his promises to them, and they truly become his priority in life. There’s joy. Playfulness. Love. A real commitment to God that was only a cliche before he vanished. The man he’d always been to those outside his family is now true for them as well. He’s been given a second chance. To see what life could be like if he could finally live out of the man he’s always wanted to be.
Torren has absolutely no memory of the time he was away and no explanation for the change in him. He doesn’t care. The old man has died and he’s finally the man he’s always longed to be deep down.
But as the months go on, his memory slowly returns. And the more the memories come, the more Torren slips back into being the man he was before. How can he hang on to the new man he’s become? And who is he really? The man he was . . . or the man he is?

Giving The Devil His Due
$23.00Add to cartFlannery O’Connor and Fyodor Dostoevsky shared a deep faith in Christ, which compelled them to tell stories that force readers to choose between eternal life and demonic possession. Their either-or extremism has not become more popular in the last fifty to a hundred years since these stories were first published, but it has become more relevant to a twenty-firstt-century culture in which the lukewarm middle ground seems the most comfortable place to dwell. Giving the Devil His Due walks through all of O’Connor’s stories and looks closely at Dostoevsky’s magnum opus The Brothers Karamazov to show that when the devil rules, all hell breaks loose. Instead of this kingdom of violence, O’Connor and Dostoevsky propose a kingdom of love, one that is only possible when the Lord again is king.

Pilgrims Progress : Updated Modern English Includes Original Illustrations.
$16.99Add to cartOften disguised as something that would help him, evil accompanies Christian on his journey to the Celestial City. As you walk with him, you’ll begin to identify today’s many religious pitfalls. These are presented by men such as Pliable, who turns back at the Slough of Despond; and Ignorance, who believes he’s a true follower of Christ when he’s really only trusting in himself. Each character represented in this allegory is intentionally and profoundly accurate in its depiction of what we see all around us, and unfortunately, what we too often see in ourselves. But while Christian is injured and nearly killed, he eventually prevails to the end. So can you.
The best part of this book is the Bible verses added to the text. The original Pilgrim’s Progress listed the Bible verse references, but the verses themselves are so impactful when tied to the scenes in this allegory, that they are now included within the text of this book. The text is tweaked just enough to make it readable today, for the young and the old. Youngsters in particular will be drawn to the original illustrations included in this wonderful classic.

Company : A Parable For Our Time
$18.99Add to cartA meteor explodes into the planet. Massive earthquakes rock the land as giant tsunamis engulf the coasts. Sleeping volcanoes violently erupt, filling the sky with clouds of suffocating ash, and soon, the world is shrouded in darkness. Last Day has come, bringing death, destruction, and despair. Yet hidden in a mountain valley, the Brigons manage to survive, but with no power and little food or water, their hope is fading into the eternal night. Then a voice calls out in the darkness and offers to bring them light. This is the story of Sam Mitchell, an engineer with one of the power managers in Brigos Glen. Seventy years have passed since light was restored to the village. Few remember the time before Last Day or the strangers who helped them in their time of need. But Sam has heard the stories and, with the guidance of his friend, seeks to help others as he goes about his seemingly unimportant, routine existence. That is, until he receives an ominous order from beyond the mountains that will change his life forever. For centuries mankind has sought God…not simply to find Him, but to understand Him. This quest has left many struggling in a maze of contradictions – one God but a Father, one God but a Son, one God but a Spirit – leading them to the ultimate question: Who is the Trinity? The answer is revealed in The Company by Chuck Graham, a clever allegory, carefully woven with surprising revelation of who God is, who we are before Him, and our calling to love and encourage each other.

Mystery Mountain
$19.99Add to cartMystery Mountain is more than just a call to arouse your deepest heartfelt beliefs between you and your personal Creator… it’s also about the awesome power God desires to place at our footsteps, as He reveals Himself in the paths we choose to take.
You see, in this story a Massachusetts ninth grade science class and their teacher, having ostensible ties to the past, would receive an anonymous invitation to take a summer field trip to Mt. Ararat in Turkey all expenses paid. Having received the customary parental approvals off they went on a trip that would change their lives forever.
From the moment they set foot on what appears to be an ancient airfield to their mysterious journey through the hull of Noah’s Ark….. they began to realize they were being guided by a very powerful force. One that includes a variety of incidental encounters with some of the world’s greatest scientific, religious and philosophical minds, all sharing a common bond and personal revelation untold by those in the secular world perhaps guided by disbelief and an unwillingness to step out of their comfort zone.
Finally, it’s time to understand what motivated and inspired some of the world’s greatest minds beyond their personal achievements to mankind, something you won’t typically get in a classroom or mainstream media. And more importantly, this account should put to rest the age old argument of “God vs. Science” and in its stead, an irresistible temptation for the reader to explore the harmony between God and Science.
So, unleash the hidden ties that keep you from being all you can be and “enter in” to God’s world. One that has no boundaries apart from those our society chooses to recognize.
“Massively creative, filled with allegory and brimming over with sound and incontrovertible biblical truth”

His books sell millions of copies, and he is a public figure, sharing his life’s philosophy: ‘We have got to do better.’ He is also living a lie—nobody could be as holy as his congregants think he is, and like all of us, he has his share of faults, flaws, sins. When one of these comes to light, the board of deacons gives him a choice: walk away or be publicly shamed. They wouldn’t dare, he thinks. I mean too much to this church. So he laughs at them and refuses to even acknowledge what he has done. And they fire him, publicly, messily.

Chains of fear and resentment imprisoned Gabriel, keeping him from discovering the treasures of El Rio. He couldn’t leave his past behind and remained trapped, afraid of the life awaiting him.
In this compelling story, Gabriel learns that letting go of the past means giving himself totally to El Rio-heart, mind, body, and soul.
“Fuiste hecho para El Rio-”
Gabriel Clarke se sentia misteriosamente atraido hacia El Rio, un cordon de aguas bravas y espumosas, abriendose camino por desfiladeros escabrosos, en las alturas de las Colorado Rockies. Esa pasion por El Rio, desde lo mas profundo de su ser, era innegable. Sus aguas impetuosas lo llamaban a sentir la libertad y vivir la aventura.Pero algo lo retenia -el recuerdo de un espantoso acontecimiento que presencio en El Rio cuando apenas tenia cinco anos- algo que ningun nino deberia ver.
Las cadenas del temor y del resentimiento lo alejaban de los tesoros que podria descubrir en El Rio. No podia dejar su pasado atras, seguia atrapado, temeroso de la vida que lo esperaba.
En esta cautivadora historia, Gabriel aprende que despojarse del pasado significa entregarse por completo a El Rio -alma, corazon, cuerpo y mente.

It’s a potent mix that leaves every reader wondering: Do I really understand this world I live in? Do I really understand myself?

He led me out from the land of Self Absorption and brought me through circumstances, which revealed my lack of strength, ability, reason and success in pleasing others.

Called
$15.99Add to cartAre You One of “The Called”? As firmly believed by the author, this novel is a divinely inspired complement to the first 32 chapters of Genesis, intent only on making God’s story/plan clearer to “truth seekers.” It is written in the narrative voice of the prophet Enoch and is an elaboration of events from the time God began creating both invisibly and visibly, up until the changing of Jacob’s name to Israel. Most intriguing is its intricate pre-flood account from Adam to Noah, including the era of the wicked angels descending and fathering the vile Nephilim, and God’s reasoning for the calling, utilization, and translation of Enoch to heaven. Christian, you will find this novel truly inspirational! But it’s for you non-Christians that we pray God’s added blessing on this more un-intimidating introduction to His story/plan, and that He’ll subsequently draw you to actual Bible study and salvation in Christ.

The biggest thing to happen to Skary, Indiana, is renowned horror novelist Wolfe Boone-or, “Boo,” as the locals fondly call him. For the past sixteen years, the reclusive writer has been the town’s greatest attraction, having unintentionally turned the once-struggling Skary into a thriving tourist-trap for the dark side: from the Haunted Mansion restaurant, famous for its “bloody fingers” (fries splattered with ketchup) to Spooky’s Bookstore (where employees dress like the walking dead).
But when a newly reformed Wolfe suddenly quits the genre and subsequently starts to pursue Skary’s favorite girl-next-door, Ainsley Parker, the little town made famous by his writings becomes truly horrified. Soon, a scheme is plotted to put the fright back into Skary-and get their most famous resident out of love and back into the thrill business.
Filled with humor, small town charm, and a gentle message of enduring faith, Boo shows how even the most colorful group of busybodies and hypocrites can become a community changed forever by God.

Calling : The Seven Days Of Religious Tolerance
$22.99Add to cartThe characters in this book find themselves in a fight with Satan for the creation of a one-world religion. We are quickly approaching the rapture of the Church. Time is running out to make a difference. I feel it is an important piece because it says a lot of things that the Christian community today needs to say, but is unwilling or afraid to say. We will continue to lose our religious freedoms in this country if we continue to do nothing. Right now, the only ones speaking are special interest groups. I think most Christians today feel Jesus will be coming back soon; He’ll take care of everything. While we’re waiting, our God-given rights are being pushed under the legislative carpet. Reform goes to the loudest voice. What was “one nation under God” is quickly drying up in our unwillingness to stand up and say, “NO MORE.” What sets this book apart from other angel-type books is that the angelic character here is mostly interested in teaching the Word of God. His devotion to duty and his desire to tell of the things of God are paramount in his existence. All kinds of different emotions will be brought to bear as you read, THE CALLING: SEVEN DAYS OF RELIGIOUS TOLERANCE. May God be praised. -Frank Deming

This is the starting point for an extraordinary meditation upon good and evil which takes issue with William Blake’s The Marriage of Heaven and Hell.

The Lord God is my strength, and he will make my feet like hinds’ feet, and he will make me walk upon mine high places. – Habakkuk 3:19Hind’s Feet on High Places is one of Hannah Hurnard’s best known and best loved books: a beautiful allegory dramatizing the yearning of God’s children to be led to new heights of love, joy, and victory.
Follow Much-Afraid on her spiritual journey through difficult places with her two companions, Sorrow and Suffering. Learn how Much Afraid overcomes her tormenting fears as she passes through many dangers and mounts at last to the High Places. There she gains a new name and returns to her valley of service, transformed by her union with the loving Shepherd.
