I Think Youre Wrong But Im Listening
$18.99Add to cartTwo friends on opposite sides of the aisle provide a practical guide to grace-filled political conversation while challenging readers to put relationship before policy and understanding before argument.
More than ever, politics seems driven by conflict and anger. People sitting together in pews every Sunday have started to feel like strangers, loved ones at the dinner table like enemies. Sarah Stewart Holland and Beth Silvers say there is a better way.
As working moms on opposite ends of the political spectrum and hosts of a fast-growing politics podcast, Holland and Silvers have learned how to practice engaging conversation while disagreeing. In I Think You’re Wrong (But I’m Listening), they share principles on how to give grace and be vulnerable when discussing issues that affect families, churches, the country, and the world. They provide practical tools to move past frustration and into productive dialogue, emphasizing that faith should inform the way people engage more than it does the outcome of that engagement. This urgently needed new book reveals how to talk about politics in a way that inspires rather than angers and that pays spiritual dividends far past election day.

In Loving Well in a Broken World, Casper helps us tear down our pride and overcome our fear to choose empathy over apathy and judgement. Through storytelling and vulnerability, Casper empowers us to discover the surprising and beautiful places empathy might lead us. Whether it’s spending a Saturday morning at the food bank, offering a shoulder to cry on, giving a ride to addiction rehab, or bringing coffee and a scone to the exhausted mom across the street, empathy is the key to loving others in a dark world.

*In themselves
*Their relationship with God
*Their relationship with others
*Their relationship with their business
*Culminating in praying for the impact they want their business to have in the world.

Irrepressible : 12 Principles For A Courageous Resilient And Fulfilling Lif
$14.99Add to cartThis book is for women who want to make a difference, it creates a conversation around how we should live as women of influence.
Questions about a woman’s place are being asked in all areas of society. Cathy Madavan aims to cheer women on, to give them courage, to create awareness about their potential and to challenge them to keep ‘lifting the lid’. We are surrounded by women who make a difference. Some thrive in a board room, some in a pulpit, some in a nursery. Some are wired for deadlines, others for creativity. But every woman will influence those around her. How do we learn from others without simply aping or imitating those we admire? Do we have the emotional intelligence and self-awareness to know that the very people who frustrate us are often the ones we need most? However, most women also wrestle with confidence, knowing their identity and place, juggling their lives and managing expectations. This book equips and empowers women. It encourages them to be an irrepressible positive influence and a voice for others. It is a resource and treasury, with principles, stories and insights. Cathy addresses her topic through a series of penetrating questions. What are your personal values and vision? What is your true character? Are you a thermometer, measuring the climate, or a thermostat, setting the temperature? Where does self-assurance come from, and how does it differ from arrogance? Who are your role models? How do you counteract stereotypes and sticky labels? Are you investing in self-leadership, in personal development? How do you build your core relationships, and widen your circle? Do you have healthy boundaries, and the ability to say no? How can you develop resilience? How can you create balance between work and life, exterior and interior?

He adds to the conversation in both church and culture by offering a renewed theological underpinning to the complex nature of Christianity in a post-modern world. How did we get here? Is this the way it has to be? Are there implications for conversations about politics within the church?

Learn about angels and demons from the man who can see them.
This book will teach you how to battle your spiritual struggles from the winning side so that you can be victorious both in your life and in the issues happening in today’s world.
Many Christians limp through their lives feeling beat up by the enemy, their circumstances, and internal strife. They look at the pattern of world events with a sense of hopelessness. Too often they simply accept these as the natural trials and challenges of life. However, other Christians acknowledge that there is a war happening, a battle between angels and demons. They want to know: What are the rules of engagement for this battle? What weapons do we have? What kind of enemy are we facing? Is this battle always happening, or are there moments of rest and peace? Am I really meant to fight in a battle where I can’t see my enemies or my allies? Blake Healy has seen angels and demons since he was a small child. In this book readers will discover what Healy has learned about the nature of spiritual warfare after over thirty years of seeing in the spirit. They will learn the truth about how they can be victorious in both their personal battles and the battles that are happening in the world. And they will see how they can truly feel as if they are fighting their spiritual battles from the winning side. This book will:
*Teach readers how to posture their hearts and minds for personal spiritual battles as well as global spiritual warfare
*Show readers how to live from the victory Jesus won on the cross

For An Audience Of One
$17.99Add to cartSeek honor and praise from God and not people.
This book will help you to stop being motivated by the approval of others and instead start living for the validation that comes from God alone.
Respected author and theologian R. T. Kendall shares a profound revelation of the meaning of John 5:44, the scripture that has guided his life for more than sixty years. Early in his ministry the wise counsel of two mentors brought this scripture to light, and he has determined to live by it ever since. Now he passes on the same wise counsel to his readers.In For an Audience of One, Kendall explores what it means to truly live for Christ alone. Many Christians believe in God and claim that Jesus is their Lord and Savior, but sadly their actions betray them. They are more concerned about the approval of people. They avoid truly following God’s leading or taking a bold stand for righteousness if they fear they might lose a friend. Because they are more worried about what people think than what God thinks, they miss out on what God is doing.
It’s time to learn what a life truly surrendered to God–and God alone–looks like. Readers can live the life He has purposed for them! They can stop being motivated by fear of others and addicted to their approval. For an Audience of One shows readers how to start living for the honor and praise that comes from God alone!

Is nonviolence irresponsible? Is peacemaking naive?
From one of the most respected and prophetic voices in Christianity today comes Speak Your Peace. Ronald J. Sider, author of the influential Rich Christians in an Age of Hunger, plumbs Scripture, building a persuasive case that Jesus meant what he said when he commanded us to love our enemies.With candor and logic, Sider takes on enduring questions about violence and nonviolence, showing how the contemporary church in a warring world has largely set aside Jesus’ call to love our enemies and traded its birthright in Christ for a stew of nationalism and militarism. But ignoring what Jesus said about killing is a huge theological mistake. Returning us to the inescapable call of the Son of God, Sider reminds the church of its true vocation in a world of hatred and war.

3rd Option : Hope For A Racially Divided Nation
$16.99Add to cartMiles McPherson, founder of The Rock Church in San Diego, presents “a discussion about race that we desperately need…a must read” (Bishop T.D. Jakes, Senior Pastor, The Potter’s House) and argues that we must learn to see people not by the color of their skin, but as God sees them-humans created in the image of God.
Pastor Miles McPherson, senior pastor of The Rock Church in San Diego, addresses racial division, a topic many have shied away from, for fear of asking the wrong question or saying the wrong thing. Some are oblivious to the impact racism has, while others pretend it doesn’t exist.
Even the church has been affected by racial division, with Sunday now being the most segregated day of each week. Christians, who are called to love and honor their neighbors, have fallen into culture’s trap by siding with one group against another: us vs. them. Cops vs. protestors. Blacks vs. whites. Racists vs. the “woke.” The lure of choosing one option over another threatens God’s plan for unity among His people.
Instead of going along with the culture, Pastor Miles directs us to choose the Third Option: honoring the priceless value of God’s image in every person we meet. He exposes common misconceptions that keep people from engaging with those of different racial and ethnic backgrounds, and identifies the privileges and pitfalls that we all face.
The Third Option challenges us to fully embrace God’s creativity and beauty, as expressed in the diversity of His people. By following the steps and praying the prayers outlined in his book, Pastor Miles teaches us how we can all become leaders in unifying our communities, our churches, and the nation.

Wholeness : Winning In Life From The Inside Out
$18.99Add to cartWholeness, the sophomore book from international thought leader and pastor Toure Roberts, is about removing invisible boundaries from our lives that keep us from realizing our highest potential. Roberts brilliantly lays forth the truth that in order to live an outer life without limits, we have to uncover and address the inner limitations that hide in our blind spots.
This life-changing book explains that regardless of where you are in life, Wholeness will take you higher. Wholeness will elevate your sense of fulfillment in life, produce healthier, more rewarding relationships, and will position you for optimum success in every endeavor.
Roberts explains we can’t always choose the experiences that keep us from being whole, but we can take control of our lives today and bring healing to any broken area. Key chapters include an in-depth relationship guide titled “Two Halves Don’t Make a Whole.” “The Cracked Mirror” shows how unprocessed experiences can negatively shape our view of self, others, and the world around us. “Ghosts of the Past” gives powerful, practical tools for avoiding the traps of the past and ensuring that we enter into the amazing future that God has planned for us.
Wholeness is filled with wisdom garnered from Toure’s own life–raised by a single mom, narrowly escaping the trappings of inner-city life, and finding success in corporate America. His insight is further broadened by his role as founder of one of the most influential churches in the nation, with over fourteen years pastoring thousands of millennials, couples, families, and a diverse group of individuals. Wholeness will take you on a transformational journey that won’t leave you the same.
Concluding with a “Wholeness Test,” Wholeness will help you track and maintain your progress while walking out your journey to your full potential.

Ministry Of Healing
$16.99Add to cartClassic Christian author A. J. Gordon expresses curiosity about whether the healing miracles from the Middle Ages up to his day can be verified as a continuation of Christ’s Spirit in the church. Through deep study and inquiry of the established history, Gordon concludes that the power to heal followers remains with the church–there was no special era of miracle working. God and His powers remain the same in the modern era as they have right through human history. For Gordon, God’s intervention in the suffering and sickness of His followers is frequent; the will of the Lord however is variable–but He will not prolong the pain of someone whose illness is too great. Throughout this text, A. J. Gordon makes his argument from a biblical perspective, citing passages in both the Old and New Testament that support the continuation of spiritual gifts. Quoting testimonies of believers across the ages, he offers a convincing argument that the church ministry is, to this day, one of healing.

If we’re honest, we’ve been overfunctioning for so long, we can’t even imagine another way. How else will things get done? How else will we survive?
It doesn’t have to be this way.Aundi Kolber believes that we don’t have to white-knuckle our way through life.

In Try Softer, you’ll learn how to:
*Know and set emotional and relational boundaries
*Make sense of the difficult experiences you’ve had
*Identify your attachment style-and how that affects your relationships today
*Move through emotions rather than get stuck by them
*Grow in self-compassion and talk back to your inner criticTrying softer is sacred work. And while it won’t be perfect or easy, it will be worth it. Because this is what we were made for: a living, breathing, moving, feeling, connected, beautifully incarnational life.

Bible And The Ballot
$34.99Add to cartHow to read the Bible on matters of public policy
Christians affirm the Bible as our standard of faith and practice. We turn to it to hear God’s voice. But what relevance does the Bible have for the contentious public policy issues we face today? Although the Bible does not always speak explicitly to modern issues, it does give us guiding principles as we think about how we might vote or act as political figures ourselves.
The Bible and the Ballot demonstrates the proper use of Scripture in contemporary political discussions. Christians regularly invoke the Bible to support their positions on many controversial political topics–gay marriage, poverty, war, religious liberty, immigration, the environment, taxes, etc.–and this book will help facilitate those conversations. Tremper Longman provides a hermeneutical approach to using the Bible in this manner, then proceeds topic by topic, citing important Scriptures to be taken into consideration in each case and offering an evangelical interpretation.
Longman is careful to suggest levels of confidence in interpretation and acknowledges that often there are a range of possible applications. Each chapter includes questions to provoke further thought in individuals’ minds or for group discussion.
The Bible and the Ballot is a ready guide to understanding the Bible on issues that American Christians face today as we live within a pluralistic society.

Jones-Pothier reveals the truths that will silence the accuser and empower readers to stop being ruled by their emotions, make choices from a place of confidence instead of doubt and insecurity, realize that God’s plan is bigger than their past, reject the labels others have placed on them, let God determine who they are, and stop being a victim and find the freedom to be themselves. Breakthroughs don’t come without a fight. Anyone who wants a breakthrough has to break through–they have to act. Providing practical tools that lead to victory, Shut Hell Up shows readers how to stop seeing themselves as inadequate and embrace who God says they are. When you feel not enough, God says I AM ENOUGH.
This book will help you use what God says about you to fight negative self-talk and lies from the enemy.

Gospel According To Satan
$19.99Add to cartFrom a “unique and distinctive” (Kyle Idleman) writer who “make[s] us appreciate the greatness and grandeur of the gospel” (J. I. Packer) comes a warning about how the “father of lies” attempts to mislead us, packaging destructive ideas in the guise of spiritual truth.
Not every lie sounds untrue. Some just sound right. And some are repeated so often that they virtually become “common knowledge.” This is what makes lies about God so dangerous. So we have to ask, what might God’s enemy want us to believe to lead us astray? And would we even see it happening?
Award-winning writer and pastor Jared C. Wilson brings us this compelling and enlightening exploration of the popular and oftentimes pleasing ways spiritual darkness masquerades as light. With sharp insight, warm humor, and a shepherd’s heart, Jared Wilson examines eight lines popular with too many Christians–eight lies the enemy wants us to believe–and provides eight lines of counterattack to help us regain our footing. Wilson names the lies– including “God Just Wants You to Be Happy,” “You Only Live Once,” and “Let Go and Let God,”–and then reveals why they appeal to us, shows how they harm us, and provides ways to counteract them. We can renounce Satan’s counterfeit gospel, but first we must see it for what it is. Jared Wilson shows us how.

Slaying Dragons : A Practical Guide To Spiritual Warfare
$17.99Add to cartThe real fight is the one you can’t see.
The supernatural realm is very real, and it directly impacts our day-to-day lives. Often spiritual battles lie behind our everyday struggles.

It’s easy to lose sight of the big picture as we focus on our everyday struggles. But our daily battles are part of a much bigger war, and we have been given all we need to win. Slaying Dragons will show readers what the enemy is trying to accomplish and how they can slay every dragon they encounter–in their lives and in the world.
This book will teach you to see and overcome the spiritual battles behind your everyday struggles. ?

Growing In Christ

This manual is designed to aid the children of God in the process of working out their salvation through the power and energy that God supplies. By the Lord’s grace, may it accomplish this purpose in your life.

Our Bodies Tell Gods Story
$21.99Add to cartIn response to a world awash in sexual chaos and gender confusion, this book offers a bold and thoroughly biblical look at the meaning of the body, sex, gender, and marriage.
Bestselling author, cultural commentator, and popular theologian Christopher West is one of the world’s most recognized teachers of John Paul II’s Theology of the Body. He specializes in making this teaching accessible to all Christians, with particular attention to evangelicals. As West explains, from beginning to end the Bible tells a story of marriage. It begins with the marriage of man and woman in an earthly paradise and ends with the marriage of Christ and the church in an eternal paradise.
In our post-sexual-revolution world, we need to remember that our bodies tell a divine story and proclaim the gospel itself. As male and female and in the call to become “one flesh,” our bodies reveal a “great mystery” that mirrors Christ’s love for the church (Eph. 5:31-32). This book provides a redemptive rather than repressive approach to sexual purity, explores the true meaning of sex and marriage, and offers a compelling vision of what it means to be created male and female. Foreword by Eric Metaxas.

Well Women Witness Letters From Christ
$39.99Add to cartIn the course of decades, scores, and even centuries, Christians lived in personal relationship with Jesus Christ. As such, as early as the 3rd century AD, they developed a certain lifestyle known as “monasticism.” Men and women through a monastic lifestyle were called by Christ (then and now) to live a cloistered life. The monks or nuns live an intimate relationship with Jesus Christ. Today, the Holy Spirit moves us to experience Jesus as personal and intimate, and to “Go, therefore, and make disciples . . .” (Matthew 28:19).
Therefore, women’s experiences in getting to know Christ are not new to the human soul. Having lived public vows in a convent, the spirituality shared by
There was a prophetic message given to Sr. Dr. Oralisa Martin–Thus says the Lord: “Well Women Witness.” “Tell my women to meet Me at he Well!” And so, a Well Women Witness (WWW) Retreat based on the Biblical story of the Samaritan woman at the Well (John 4: 1-30; 39-42) was created. The first of ten retreats began with ninety-three (93) women of the Basilica of St. Mart of the Immaculate Conception in Norfolk, Virginia.
One of the hallmarks of the retreat is the women’s Letters from Christ. Just before a WWW retreat Sr. Dr. Martin would hear a Word from the Lord on the letter. He wanted to write His women. Unlike other letter writing that could be several pages long from a sender, the WWW Letters from Christ is conversational letter writing. There is ongoing dialogue within the letter between Christ and the woman. Christ would bring up an issue and call his woman to talk to Him about it. Now, she can tell Him! She can write it out; she can be honest and transparent. And, she can find herself dealing with issues that she thought were over!
In addition, Jesus Christ deals with His issues with her. She can come to realize that not only is she getting to know herself, she is getting to know God. As she sojourns in the writing of the ten letters, she can also begin to realize that she is in a relationship with Jesus Christ. Christ is fashioning her into His true disciple.
With that, the woman can come away from the letter writing exercise with the overwhelming feeling, “WOW! Oh, my God! I just talked to Christ. And, He spoke back!” “He told me everything I have done . . .” (John 4: 37). She can then realize that Jesus Christ is deepening the relationship and moving her into intimacy with Him.
This knowing God, this relationship and intimacy with Christ serve as the po

Walk Of The Cross
$26.99Add to cartThe “Walk of the Cross” is a Lenten study designed to help Christians search their hearts and souls as well as rededicate themselves to be faithful Disciples of Christ. It is a daily devotional which examines fundamental Biblical beliefs in context with several scriptures each day. Daily readings are followed by questions for reflection and journaling. Jesus used this method of rabbinic teaching when he asked questions of His disciples such as “Who do you say (believe) I am?”, “Why do you call me good?”, or “To what shall I compare the Kingdom of God?”. Journaling, scripture reading, and Spirit-led prayers form the foundation of this personal study as we consider what we really believe concerning issues such as God’s calling, grace, salvation, sanctification, and regeneration. The process allows the Holy Spirit to confront false beliefs as well as alleviate areas of doubt in our faith.
As for those that may be asking what difference it makes how one believes, professionals have long known that our beliefs, especially those concerning morals, ethics, and religion control how we think, feel and behave. Our beliefs do this by coming together to form attitudes and prejudices concerning who we are and the world around us. Because our belief systems work with a high degree of automation, they can be easily influenced and even corrupted by the culture of the world. Therefore, we should always actively consider what and how we believe under the guidance of the Spirit.
Christians have traditionally used the forty days prior to Easter, known as Lent, as a time to rededicate ourselves to the imitation of Christ. Some of us abstain from pleasurable things such as chocolate or TV in an attempt to purify ourselves from worldly desires. Others prefer to add some additional religious aspect to our lives like a Lenten devotional, additional prayer time, or some worthy church social function. Whether we abstain or add, there is a conscious effort to revive our Christian discipleship by identifying with Christ’s teaching and journey of passion for our salvation. Doing these activities in small groups makes this also a time to renew fellowship within church.
