Its A Love Story

As teenagers we fall in love with musicians and actors and the boy whose locker is next to ours. As we mature, we long for romantic love that will last a lifetime. Sacrificial love, unexplainable love, familial love, desperate love. Love songs and love stories. Clearly we were created with the longing for love ingrained in our souls.

Our Spiritual Compass
$19.95Add to cartAn Outskirts Press Title
Even a casual look at trends in human behavior will instantly reveal that kindness and good are on the decline, while greed and cruelty are on the rise-even as secular culture proclaims its dedication to tolerance and safety for all. In reality, the conscience is under assault, and the result is a general condemnation of the morality that society must rely upon as a guide. Those who would live a godly life are told that they are the problem. Although the conscience is not given much attention by the Church, it is very important in understanding both ethics and morality. Our Spiritual Compass: The Conscience and Morality provides an overview of man’s immaterial parts (spirit, soul, heart, flesh, will, mind, and conscience). It uses this background to provide an in-depth Biblical study of the conscience. The latter part of the book is dedicated to understanding morality from the standpoint of conscience, examining how two hundred years of worldly thought have corrupted our understanding of morality and ethics, and the ways in which modern life and philosophy are at odds with God’s guidance. Clear, accessible, and well researched, this is the book you need to assess whether you-and your loved ones-are on the right path.

Simple Faith : Something Worth Living For
$16.95Add to cartA T2Pneuma Publishers LLC Title
How do we know what we know? This question challenges the nature of information, how we learn, decision making, who we are, and who this God is that we worship. If this challenge appears optional; it is not–our post-Christian culture questions every assumption. Simple Faith examines these questions and discusses implications for faith and life.
An important implication of this study is that faith plays a critical role into how we think, learn, and make decisions in the context of limited resources and an uncertain future. Even scientific inquiry requires faith, which normally gets hidden in untested assumptions and presumptions about what is interesting to investigate. Often the critical arguments driving our decisions are not cold hard facts, but the stories that we tell in the midst of complex decision environments.
The timing of this inquiry is critical. The movement from modern to postmodern thinking has upended most institutions, but especially the Christian church. The separation of heart and mind, which characterizes modern thinking, eroded faith leaving the church in a weak position to adapt to the rapid changes accompanying postmodernism. Ironically, postmodern thinking that values storytelling favors Christian faith because the Gospel of Jesus Christ is the best story around.

Kingdom Impact : Living Like Jesus In A Broken World
$17.00Add to cartIn Matthew 13, Jesus tells the parable of a man who stumbles across a treasure hidden in a field. He goes home, sells everything he has, and buys that field to own that treasure. This is what the kingdom of heaven is, Jesus says–a treasure worth everything.
But the truth is, for most of us, our enthusiasm is often wrapped more deeply around a football team or the latest TV show than what God is doing through us. Lacking a purpose calling to the deepest parts of us, we numb ourselves. In this eye-opening, empowering book, pastor and author Putty Putman shows that there is a kingdom designed to provide your life with such compelling purpose that you will reorient your whole life around it. Here is your invitation into a life of significance, adventure, and wonder far beyond what you have let yourself dare to dream.

Love Its The Greatest
$17.95Add to cartWhat has happened to love?
1 Corinthians 13 tells us: “Love is patient; love is kind; love is not envious or boastful or arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way … Love never ends … And now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; and the greatest of these is love (NRSV).”
Do we see that in American culture today?
More often, we see anger, vitriol, even hatred between opposing parties, often across political lines. But in St. Paul’s wonderful love poem in 1 Corinthians 13, we find just the prescription an often loveless modern society needs, because Love – It’s the Greatest!
Full of wonderful true stories, examples from daily life, and thought-provoking questions, this book makes great sermon material, especially for weddings; devotional reading; or small group study for Christian seeking a better understanding of this much used but not fully comprehended concept of love.

Whats Next : The Journey To Know God Find Freedom Discover Purpose And Make
$19.99Add to cartBestselling author and influential pastor Chris Hodges offers Christians a practical guide for what to do next to deepen their faith.
The journey toward deeper faith and spiritual maturity is a lifelong pursuit, with plenty of stops and bumps along the way. Inevitably, there comes a point when Christians–new believers and veterans in the faith alike–find themselves asking, “What do I do next? How do I stay motivated to grow deeper in my relationship with God when I feel complacent, intimidated, or confused? What can I do to get back on track when I hit a spiritual rut?
“In What’s Next?, Chris Hodges reveals the four steps to spiritual maturity: knowing God, finding freedom, discovering purpose, and making a difference. He shows how they are part of both a linear path and a cycle that Christians continue returning to at increasingly deeper levels as they grow. Accessible and clear, concise and profound, What’s Next? is a trail guide leading to a deeper and more intimate relationship with the Father and the joy that comes from the journey.

Male And Female Made In Gods Image
$27.95Add to cartIn this era of distorted ideas about our inherent roles, identities, and purposes as men and women, it has never been as important that we seek reconciliation in marriage and families so there can be a more rational approach to the real problems the whole world suffers. We must disseminate God’s truth and extinguish the lies and myths that Satan has embedded into the hearts and minds of many people.
Building on these ideas, in Male and Female Made in God’s Image, author Frances O’Dair offers her perspective on dating, marriage, and family, which she believes reflects the experiences of most married couples before the sexual revolution of the 1960s. She encourages men and women to reflect on the wise or self-serving natures of their past dating and mating choices. If we can stop the reckless self-gratifying use of human sexuality with our children, our loving direction and understanding of God’s truth can set them free from the temptations that have been passed down to recent generations. We must be ready to admit that sexual freedom is a myth and isn’t intended for the well-being of men, women, children, and the unborn.
This faith-inspired treatise explores the true source of happiness, meaning, and fulfilment that God has planned for everyone within the sacrament of marriage and the family circle.

Be A Disciple Make A Disciple
$12.99Add to cartThe twenty-first century Church has the same Holy Spirit power and many more modern-day resources than the first century Church, yet the first century Church had greater success in making disciples. Why? They followed the plan Jesus gave them, and He blessed it. But the more worldly progress we’ve made, the more we’ve deviated from Jesus’s plan by choosing programs, entertainment, and socials with only surface-level encounters.
We neglect to make a connection with the lost, and they see no real commitment from the church. So they come and go as we continue to meet and plan more programs. To end the cycle, we must go and make disciples as Jesus taught–investing our lives in the lives of others.
Do you long to live the Great Commission and make disciples, but you’re not sure how? In Be a Disciple, Make a Disciple, Ellie Littleton offers biblical examples and concepts that break down the hard work of discipleship into sixteen thought-provoking lessons.
So go and make disciples. “This is to my Father’s glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples” (John 15:8 niv).

I Choose Honor
$17.99Add to cartWhen you honor the people that others hate, you honor God.
Trying harder doesn’t always improve relationships or bring promotion. But choosing to live with honor will strengthen relationships, bring elevation, build bridges, and deepen our worship of and intimacy with God.
The blessing of honor is seen throughout Scripture, as those who remained honorable flourished, and those who did not suffered from tragedies, wars, and hardships. This book explains that when we honor family members, authority figures, the overlooked, colleagues, subordinates, and the like simply because they are God’s creation, we honor God. And honoring God is an act of worship that leads to a deeper intimacy with Him.
While some self-improvement and leadership books address the importance of respect, few explain the life-changing power of honor. Through biblical examples and personal stories, this book will help readers grow closer in their relationship with Jesus and truly appreciate the people around them as they learn to create a culture of honor in their lives, families, and ministries.

Managing Leadership Anxiety
$19.99Add to cartPastor and leadership development expert Steve Cuss explains how personal anxiety and leadership frustration is the result of not being “self-aware” and provides simple tools readers can use to do something about it.
Most leaders want to handle complicated situations, difficult people, and unknown territory with less anxiety. But their lack of noticing how “self” gets in the way is their greatest liability. This blind spot is the primary source of personal frustration, unhealthy relationships, and ineffective leadership. To become a powerful asset in God’s kingdom, it is essential to identify and address the human tendency to avoid self-awareness.
Steve Cuss believes healthy leaders must focus not just on skill-based training but also must understand their own natures and tendencies.

Perfect You : A Blueprint For Identity

Upside Down Spirituality

Where the world stresses the importance of success, Bird invites readers to embrace nine specific failures in the areas of our personal lives, our relationships, and the church. Why? Because what human wisdom deems indispensable is so often an impediment to our spiritual growth, and what it deems insignificant is so often essential to it.
With compelling examples from the Bible and today, Bird paints an enticing picture of the counterintuitive, countercultural life that God wants for us. He helps readers delight in all of the ways that Jesus turned the world upside-down, allowing us to experience true freedom, not from our weaknesses but in the midst of them.

Blessed Are The Peacemakers
$39.00Add to cartThis book is a contribution to the Christian ethics of war and peace. It advances peacebuilding as a needed challenge to and expansion of the traditional framework of just-war theory and pacifism. It builds on a critical reading of historical landmarks from the Bible through Augustine, Aquinas, the Reformers, Christian peace movements, and key modern figures like Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Reinhold Niebuhr, and recent popes. Similar to just-war theory, peacebuilding is committed to social change and social justice but includes some theorists and practitioners who accept the use of force in extreme cases of self-defense or humanitarian intervention. Unlike just-war theorists, they do not see the justification of war as part of the Christian mission. Unlike traditional pacifists, they do see social change as necessary and possible and, as such, requiring Christian participation in public efforts.
Cahill argues that transformative Christian social participation is demanded by the gospel and the example of Jesus, and can produce the avoidance, resolution, or reduction of conflicts. And yet obstacles are significant, and expectations must be realistic. Decisions to use armed force against injustice, even when they meet the criteria of just war, will be ambiguous and tragic from a Christian perspective. Regarding war and peace, the focus of Christian theology, ethics, and practice should not be on justifying war but on practical and hopeful interreligious peacebuilding. -

Rachel Hollis has seen it too often: women being afraid of their own goals. They’re afraid of embarrassment, of falling short of perfection, of not being enough. But the biggest fear of all is of being judged for having ambition at all.
Having been taught to define themselves in light of other people–whether as wife, mother, daughter, or friend–many women have forgotten who they are and what they were meant to be. In Girl, Stop Apologizing, entrepreneur and online personality Rachel Hollis encourages women to own their hopes and desires and goals and reminds them they don’t need permission to want more. With a call to women everywhere to stop talking themselves out of their dreams, Hollis identifies the excuses to let go of, the behaviors to adopt, and the skills to acquire on the path to growth, confidence, and the biggest possible version of their lives.

D2 : Becoming A Devoted Follower Of Christ
$14.99Add to cart“Follow me!” These two words changed the lives of twelve unlikely individuals in the first century, and they can change the course of your life as well. Many people claim to follow Jesus, but truly following him involves a commitment to transformational discipleship, not just nominal acceptance. Discipleship was the mission of Christ, and therefore, as disciples, it is our mission as well, both to be disciples and to make disciples. Following as a disciple of Jesus begins with hearing his call and then desiring to grow in our relationship with him. However, we are too often satisfied with simply receiving God’s grace and neglect to give it back. We desire to gain all the privileges of a disciple minus the commitment to be one. As a result, we need to develop a consistent, coordinated, and intentional plan for greater spiritual growth and discipleship, focused on gaining an ever- increasing ability to apply God’s Word to life. If you want more than sitting in pews and checking off church participation boxes, if you are ready to live the life Christ calls you to by following him with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength, this book is for you”–

Assured : Discover Grace Let Go Of Guilt And Rest In Your Salvation

That is a tragedy of epic proportions.We need a simple way to discover that calling, and Find Your Place is that way. GPS technology is widely known as a way to know where you are on the earth, as well as a way to guide you to get where you want to go. The Find Your Place book will help followers of Jesus locate three signals that will help people discern their personal calling: their Gifts, their Passions, and their Story, and help them take meaningful next steps to engage that calling.Furthermore, the American Church has a Co-Dependency Disorder.

This co-dependence is doing more than throttling the vitality of the church…it is strangling it. In order for the people of God to truly thrive and be salt and light in the world, church leaders must move from simply “gathering and teaching” their members to “empowering and releasing them.” This book, the accompanying online assessment, and the disciple-making tools that both will be integrated into, will all be a part of a turn-key solution for church leaders to accomplish that goal.

StormProof : Weathering Life’s Tough Times
$16.99Add to cartGo “storm chasing” through the pages of the greatest Book ever written! What storm has blown into your circumstances? Are you–or someone you love–suffering from the trauma of plans that have been washed away, relationships that have been uprooted, or security that has been devastated? Many believers have been known to ask, “God, where are You in this storm?” or, “Lord, did You send this storm into my life?” Just what does a believer do during a stormy season? StormProof: Weathering Life’s Tough Times tackles these and other tumultuous questions.
Author Carol McLeod is a storm survivor–more than that, a victor–over infertility, depression, and cancer. She understands the spiritual, emotional, and physical challenges of the trials we face in our lives. A gifted Bible teacher, she provides “life preservers” of hope and faith through the eternal, practical wisdom found only in God’s Word.
By examining key storms in the Bible, and the lives of those affected by them , Carol guides you to uncommon comfort for your own storms, offering the shelter of hope, joy, and faith. In StormProof, you will step out of the boat to walk the waves with Peter, knowing that Jesus always comes to be with you in the midst of your storms; you will be rocked aboard a wind-driven ship with the apostle Paul, in danger of being smashed against the rocks, but be preserved by God’s power; you will watch the gathering storm clouds with Noah, holding on to faith in God’s purposes. You will also experience Jonah’s self-inflicted tempest while affirming God’s unconditional love, sit in silence with Job and ponder his questions about the greatest storm of testing, and huddle with the disciples as their boat is swamped by surging waves–only to hear Jesus’s eternal words, “Peace, be still.” You will also hear about storms of harsh circumstances that others from recent history have encountered and overcome.
Storms are common in every season of life. Yet, for a believer in Christ, the damage such storms cause can be contained, depending on how we navigate their tumultuous waves. There is a way–a triumphant way–to encounter the fierce gales of life and then exit the tempests with strength and resilience. There is a definitive way to walk through the most devastating of circumstantial tornadoes and emerge with grace, empowered for the future. There is a way to be StormProof.

Glory Carriers : How To Host His Presence Every Day

Chayil : Release The Power Of A Virtuous Woman
$12.99Add to cartFROM BEST-SELLING AUTHOR OF PRAYERS THAT ROUT DEMONS
Influence and power are not just for men.
The fight was never intended to be man vs. woman. Both men and women are strong and mighty in the Lord. Chayil is a Hebrew word that is connected to strength, wealth, power, influence, wisdom, and military might, and it happens to be the word translated “virtuous” in Proverbs 31. Since the beginning of time chayil, or “virtuous,” women have been created to fight for and defend their homes, families, and other kingdom entities against evil influences. Chayil women have been empowered to organize and activate those under their authority so that everything to which they are assigned runs smoothly and with excellence.
A chayil woman is strong, mighty, and efficient; valiant, virtuous, and victorious. We were created to war together, man and woman, side by side, tearing down demonic strongholds of wickedness and advancing the territory of the kingdom of God. If you want to be empowered to accomplish your kingdom destiny and purpose in Christ, this book is for you! Using numerous examples from Scripture, this book shows women how to tap into the essence of the chayil anointing so they will be:
*endued with power to defend and take back what is theirs;
*strengthened and motivated to tap into their God-given abilities and power to build and influence the areas they occupy;
*activated with supernatural wisdom and power to get wealth and to overtake the thief that comes to steal, kill, and destroy;
*able to take authority and defend their families, possessions, destinies, property, and dignity;
*encouraged to have an edge against the forces that try to destroy their vision and success in business or ministry.The chayil anointing manifests in the woman who is anointed for ministry, business, and marketplace influence.

Cristianismo Y Posmodernidad – (Spanish)
$14.99Add to cartEn palabras del autor, debemos enfrentarnos a la conciencia de saber que todo entendimiento es frágil.Nos toca presenciar de cerca la debacle de instituciones, ideas, personalidades y proyectos. La posmodernidad vino para desestabilizar buena parte de las soluciones que funcionaron para nuestros padres y abuelos; hoy sus respuestas ya no resultan tan útiles para entender el mundo que nos rodea.Toda nuestra historia está simbolizada en esas dos escenas de los evangelios: el reconocimiento y la negación. Por gracia de Dios, nos unimos a Pedro en la afirmación más grande de todas: que el profeta Jesús es el Hijo del Dios viviente. Por cobardía, nos unimos a Pedro y seguimos diciendo «yo no conozco a ese hombre». La iglesia reconoce y niega, afirma y traiciona, acepta y rechaza. Veinte siglos de historia son testigos de esa dualidad.

I choose to breathe in the wonderof God’s eternal love,
And dance to the rhythm of eternal breath,
Listening to the whispers
calling me to slow down and take notice.
I choose to absorb the beauty
of the divine presence,
to delight in the Creator of all things
and relish the delight God takes in me.
Can you imagine a God who dances with shouts of joy, laughs when you laugh, loves to play, enjoys life, and invites us to join the fun?
Like many of us, Christine Sine had spent many years with an image of God who was “a very serious, workaholic type of God.” And even when her theology told her this was not true, she struggled to live into this new way of thinking. What she needed was a childlike spirituality.
In this book, Christine Sine, online host of the Godspace community, invites us to pay attention to childlike characteristics that have the power to reshape us. Each chapter addresses a childlike characteristic to embrace, including delight, playfulness, imagination, awe and wonder, love of nature, the ability to live in the present, and much more. Fresh spiritual practices that engage all our senses help us live a new spiritual life that embraces the wonder and joy that God intends for us.

From Shattered To Restored
$14.99Add to cart“I just want you to know that God can change absolutely anything.” It was a simple statement, but it changed her life.
In this stunningly transparent memoir, Nanette Larson shares her journey from a life of constant hopelessness and despair, deep depression, crippling anxiety, and suicidality to one full of victorious hope and purpose.
After years of receiving unsuccessful treatments–therapy, medication, hospitalization, and more–for her mental and physical illnesses, Nanette finally found wholeness in the person of Jesus Christ. Realizing that she had allowed the labels that had been pasted upon her by medical professionals and society alike to define who she was, Nanette changed her perspective by seeing herself through the eyes of her Maker.

ReGrace : What The Shocking Beliefs Of The Great Christians Can Teach Us To
$18.00Add to cartThe church is tired of seeing Christians act ungraciously toward one another when they disagree. Social media has added to the carnage. Christians routinely block each other on Facebook because of doctrinal disagreements. The world watches the blood-letting, and the Christian witness is tarnished.
But what if every Christian discovered that their favorite teacher in church history had blind spots and held to some false–and even shocking–views?
Bestselling author Frank Viola argues that this simple awareness will soften Christians when they interact with each other in the face of theological disagreements. In ReGrace, he uncovers some of the shocking beliefs held by faith giants like C.S. Lewis, Luther, Calvin, Moody, Spurgeon, Wesley, Graham, and Augustine–not to downgrade or dismiss them, but to show that even “the greats” in church history didn’t get everything right. Knowing that the heroes of our faith sometimes got it wrong will empower us to treat our fellow Christians with grace rather than disdain whenever we disagree over theology.

Making Of Us
$17.99Add to cartBeautifully written and deeply poignant, The Making of Us allows readers to walk alongside author and radio personality Sheridan Voysey during a transformational moment in his life journey. Picking up where Resurrection Year: Turning Broken Dreams Into New Beginnings left off, Sheridan helps us process what we can learn about our identities in the face of disappointment and change. Life had not gone according to plan for Sheridan Voysey and his wife, Merryn. When infertility ended their dream of becoming parents, they uprooted their lives and relocated from Australia to Oxford, England, so Merryn could pursue her professional goals. But the move meant Sheridan had to give up his well-established career in Christian radio, and though he was experiencing some success as a writer, he couldn’t reconcile his expectations for his life with the reality he was living. Lost and directionless, he came to a sobering realization: I don’t know who I am.
Following the example of many a seeker, Sheridan decided to pair his spiritual journey with a literal one: a hundred-mile pilgrimage along the northeast coast of England. Inspired by the life and influence of the monk Cuthbert, who was among the first to evangelize northern England in the 600s, Voysey and his friend DJ traveled on foot from the Holy Island of Lindisfarne to Durham, where the famed Lindisfarne Gospels were on display.
What makes us who we are? What shapes our hopes and dreams, and how do we adjust when things don’t go as we hoped? Can we recover if we make a choice that’s less than perfect? Voysey tackles these questions and others as he deftly weaves together Cuthbert’s story, the history of early Christianity in England, and his own struggle to find his identity and purpose. His introspective writing leads readers to consider their own stories and reflect on how God calls each of us to an identity bigger than any earthly role or career. Part travel memoir, part pilgrim’s journal, The Making of Us is a quiet story including a chapter-by-chapter reflection guide of trust in God’s leading for our lives, no matter where our paths take us.

Gods Healing Power
$19.99Add to cartIs there a need for healing in your life? This book can help you access God’s amazing healing power. Karen Henein explores the Bible’s teaching about healing, referencing hundreds of verses and relating encouraging stories.
Why not learn how to actively use every point of access to God’s healing power? God loves you and wants to extend His kindness, compassion, mercy, and grace. In response to your prayers and other steps of obedience, God will choose the measure, method, timing, and duration of the healing He will provide for you and your loved ones.
While generating faith for healing, God’s Healing Power also explores why God allows seasons of suffering, what the Bible says about life span, obstacles to our healing, the reality of death, and the promise of eternal life.
Hope for healing and hope for heaven can run simultaneously on side-by-side tracks. Those distinct hopes will merge at the believer’s last earthly horizon. God will fully restore us some day, providing a resurrected body that’s immortal, indestructible, and forever free from pain. Here or there, now or then, a positive outcome awaits each believer.
Whether you need faith for healing, or peace and comfort as life nears its end, God’s Healing Power will provide substantive help for your journey.

Warnings From The Garden
$12.99Add to cartA Watchman Publishing LLC Title
Deception used to be considered evil but not any longer–not when those who are called to live like Christ now openly justify and defend anti-Christian character behavior. When the church follows the leadership of the culture, and sacrifices historical biblical truths on the altars of relativism and trendiness, it becomes a twenty-first century version of Esau, a man who valued his current times over an eternal reward.
Ignorance of biblical history–or in some cases historical amnesia–has left the church ever-vulnerable to the changing current of modern culture. When the church divorce itself from the past, it becomes blind in the present. When God’s people forgot their history, then apathy, anarchy, apostasy and abandonment soon follow.
The problem of deception and bowing to the culture goes all the way back to the Garden of Eden, where Adam and Eve became the Serpent’s first victims. Spiritual deception moved them away from a God-centered worldview to a human-centered one. Self became their focus. Opinions and feelings had become their new “truth.” Adam and Eve began to see circumstances, themselves, and life in general from Satan’s point of view, and God’s authority was no longer the centerpiece of their lives.
Across all denominations, spiritual deception within the church has intensified. Warnings from the Garden: Uncovering the Wiles of Deception addresses the many land mines our Adversary has planted among us. This book will help readers uncover errors and recover a passion for historical biblical truths, producing a true conforming to Christ.

NotesAdditional Info
Habits form us more than we form them.The modern world is a machine of a thousand invisible habits, forming us into anxious, busy, and depressed people. We yearn for the freedom and peace of the gospel, but remain addicted to our technology, shackled by our screens, and exhausted by our routines. But because our habits are the water we swim in, they are almost invisible to us. What can we do about it?
The answer to our contemporary chaos is to practice a rule of life that aligns our habits to our beliefs. The Common Rule offers four daily and four weekly habits, designed to help us create new routines and transform frazzled days into lives of love for God and neighbor. Justin Earley provides concrete, doable habits, such as a daily hour of phoneless presence or a weekly conversation with a friend.
These habits are “common” not only because they are every day and practical, but also because they are designed to be practiced in local communities. They have been lived out by people across all walks of life-businesspeople, professionals, parents, students, retirees-who have discovered new hope and purpose. As you embark on these life-giving practices, you will find the freedom and rest for your soul that comes from aligning belief in Jesus with the practices of Jesus.

Monuments Of Grace
$15.99Add to cartA Not Enough Words Title
Worship is the culture of Heaven.
When we worship, we become cultural ambassadors of heaven here on earth.
The great theologian A.W. Tozer wrote that mankind’s created purpose is to worship God. If this is true, worship must be something more than just the 20 minutes of music at church before the preacher delivers the sermon. Worship is at the core of what it means to be a Christian, the very heart of discipleship. It should invade and transform every aspect of life. What would it look like if Christians made bringing God glory the central goal of every thought, every word, and every deed?
In the Old Testament, when God revealed Himself to His people, often they would respond by building an altar in His honor. These altars served a dual purpose: both as sanctuaries of worship where God’s glory rested and as monuments to what He had done there. Future generations would see these stone altars and recall the testimonies of God’s miraculous blessings. In the New Testament, the Apostle Peter writes, “We are living stones, being built into a spiritual house for a holy priesthood to offer sacrifices acceptable to God.” Our lives are now the altars before our Father, ignited by the Holy Spirit, to bring glory to Jesus through sacrificial worship and to be monuments of His grace to the world around us.
In his new book, Monuments of Grace, Wes Pickering explores what it means to embrace worship as a lifestyle. The world is hungry for authentic connection to God’s presence, and the Church has been commissioned to carry His presence everywhere we go, to see heaven invade earth. That kind of breakthrough lifestyle always begins with encountering the Lord in worship.

More TRUTH : Searching For Certainty In An Uncertain World
$16.99Add to cartLESS Fake LESS Doubt MORE Truth Truth is a tricky thing. Today, “the truth” is not just hard to swallow; it is something we refuse to swallow. Truth is too certain, too divisive, too arrogant. In response, today’s truth is often one of relativism: what’s true for you might not be true for me. But if it’s sometimes true, and sometimes not, is it really truth at all? Jesus claimed to be “the way and the truth and the life.” But can we really accept this ultimate truth in an age of questioning, uncertainty, relativism and skepticism? In MORE Truth, young philosopher Kristi Mair explores whether Christians can be confident in the “truth” in our anything goes age. Aesthetically pleasing, quote-heavy, with short chapters that hold together like a series of blog posts on a theme, the more series will afford readers the space (whether it be five minutes on the subway or a quick evening devotional) to explore themes of the Bible in a life-applicable and accessible way.

Common Ground : Talking About Gun Violence In America
$18.00Add to cartEvery time a shooting makes national headlines, the same debates erupt: Is the problem guns or mental health? Why is the United States unique in its gun violence problem? Can we reduce this violence while protecting the right to bear arms?
Newtown, Connecticut, native and Disciples of Christ minister Donald V. Gaffney brings a calm and compassionate voice to these complex questions, offering a guide for individuals and groups to reflect on and discuss guns and gun violence.

Parenting Forward : How To Raise Children With Justice, Mercy, And Kindness
$23.99Add to cartA progressive Christian parenting book with a social-justice orientation
How do we build a better world? One key way, says Cindy Wang Brandt, is by learning to raise our children with justice, mercy, and kindness.
In Parenting Forward Brandt equips Christian parents to model a way of following Jesus that has an outward focus, putting priority on loving others, avoiding judgment, and helping those in need. She shows how parents must work on dismantling their own racial, cultural, gender, economic, and religious biases in order to avoid passing them on to their children. “By becoming aware of the complex ways we participate in systems of inequality or hierarchy,” she says, “we begin to resist systemic injustice ourselves, empower our children, and change our communities.”

Justice Mercy Humility
$17.00Add to cartWe’ve made following Jesus far too complex. We don’t know what to do with all the things in the Bible that seem necessary, so we make them into a to-do list: love others, forgive those who hurt you, have joy, be patient, stay faithful, give to the hurting, serve in your church, pray without ceasing, confess your sins, and on and on. These are all great things, but is a checklist really what Jesus intended when he said, “Follow me”?
More than two thousand years ago, the prophet Micah implored Israel to return to its true calling: “Act justly, love mercy, walk humbly with your God.” Could this plainspoken Bible verse not only sum up how we should live today but breathe a fresh purpose into our souls?
In this practical and freeing book, pastor Rusty George shares the simplicity of what God desires from us. Living a faithful life should not be a chore, and George teaches how to put away our checklists and walk humbly according to God’s will for our lives.

When Faith Fails
$17.99Add to cartPastor Dominic Done reveals how doubt can deepen faith and provides readers with a way to wrestle and ask questions while growing ever closer to God.
Wrestling with faith and doubt can be profoundly lonely and isolating. Some suffer in silence while others abandon belief altogether, assuming doubt is incompatible with faith. Dominic Done believes this is both tragic and deeply mistaken. In When Faith Fails, Done writes of his own experience with faith and doubt, using Scripture, literature, and the lives of others who have doubted to argue that not only is questioning normal but it is often a path toward a rich and vibrant faith. Taking up specific issues that often create doubt–the silence of God, the place of science, offensive portions of Scripture, and the problem of suffering–Done offers practical ways for Christians to move through doubt into deep faith, a faith that wrestles, celebrates questions, and embraces the mystery of belief.

Sacred Pace : Four Steps To Hearing God And Aligning Yourself With His Will
$18.99Add to cartHow do we hear from God and discern His will when it’s time to make big decisions? Terry Looper shares a five-step process for doing just that – a process he has learned and refined over thirty years as a Christian entrepreneur and founder of a multi-billion dollar company.
At just thirty-six years old, Terry Looper was a successful Christian businessman who thought he had it all-until managing all he had led to a devastating burnout. Wealthy beyond his wildest dreams but miserable beyond belief, Terry experienced a radical transformation when he discovered how to align himself with God’s will in the years following his crash and burn.
Sacred Pace is a five-step process that helps Christians in all walks of life learn how to:
*slow down their decision-making under the guidance of the Holy Spirit,
*sift through their surface desires and sinful patterns in order to receive clear, peace-filled answers from the Lord,
*gain the confident assurance that God’s answers are His way of fulfilling the true desires he has placed in their hearts, and
*grow closer to the One who loves them most and knows them best.This book is not another example of name-it-and-claim-it materialism in disguise. Instead, it walks readers through the sometimes-painful process of “dying to self” in their decisions, both big and small, so that they desire God’s will more than their own.

$15.99Add to cartOne of the great privileges we have as Christians is finding favor from the Lord. Yet our understanding of “favor” can be off. We are sometimes told it’s all about us–that God gave us that house, that car, that job so we can have all we need. But his provision doesn’t stop with us.
In this fascinating, empowering book, Gary Wilkerson, pastor and president of World Challenge, paints a bigger, brighter, and more biblical picture of what God’s favor is. He shows how our loving Father showers his abundant resources upon us–things like forgiveness, restoration, peace, joy, power, and authority–not only to bless us with a favored, happy life, but for us to joyfully demonstrate this favor to others, whether they are friends, family, or strangers on the street. Because God’s favor is not meant to end with us–it is meant to show the beauty of his unearned grace to a hurting, unbelieving world.

Color Of Life
$18.99Add to cartCara Meredith grew up in a colorless world. From childhood, she didn’t think issues of race had anything to do with her. A colorblind rhetoric had been stamped across her education, world view, and Christian theology.
Then as an adult, Cara’s life took on new, colorful hues. She realized that her generation, seeking to move beyond ancestral racism, had swung so far that they tried to act as if they didn’t see race at all. But that picture neglected the unique cultural identity God gives each person. When Cara met and fell in love with the son of black icon, James Meredith, she began to listen to the stories and experiences of others in a new way, taking note of the cultures, sounds and shades of life already present around her. After she married and their little family grew to include two mixed-race sons, Cara knew she would never see the world through a colorless lens again.
A writer and speaker in an interracial marriage and mixed-race family, Cara finds herself more and more in the middle of discussions about racial justice. In The Color of Life, she asks how do we navigate ongoing and desperately-needed conversations about race? How do we teach our children a theology of reconciliation and love? And what does it mean to live a life that makes space for seeing the imago Dei in everyone? Cara’s illuminating memoir paints a beautiful path from white privilege toward racial healing, from ignorance toward seeing the image of God in everyone she meets.
