Guide Your Mind Guard Your Heart Grace Your Tongue
$16.99Add to cartChristian women tend to have regrets the size of Mount Rushmore. They regret how they have used their time; they regret how they have spent their money; they regret how much chocolate they have eaten; and most of all, they regret the hurtful words they have spoken to the people they love the most and know the best.
Every woman with a heart that beats has spoken words “under the influence” of warped feelings and slurred thinking. And every woman wishes that she had the magical power to take those words back. This book may just be the solution.
Carol McLeod reveals that before the words are spoken, they brew in the heart and are formed in the mind. It’s our thoughts and emotions that determine what words will come out our mouths. Guide Your Mind, Guard Your Heart, Grace Your Tongue is an innovative blueprint that will enable all women to take back control of their minds and feelings in order to grace their tongues. You won’t find pat answers here, but rather powerful strategies based on the Word of God to reroute disordered thinking and cure rotten emotions so your words can be humbly grateful instead of grumbly hateful.

Love First : Ending Hate Before Its Too Late
$14.99Add to cartThis is not just a book to inspire more love; it’s a revolutionary call to love better.
“A terrible virus has spread across the planet and turned the human race into bloodthirsty monsters. Mankind’s only hope for survival is . . .” Originally part of the tagline for the sci-fi thriller, I Am Legend, these lines describe the undercurrent of unrest and turbulence in our world. The virus we face is hate-an epidemic infecting social media, politics, neighborhoods, and homes. Communities of believers, which should be clinics with the cure, are instead suspected of being primary carriers of the virus.
But there is hope. Hate, even in its most nefarious forms, is no match for the matchless love modeled by Jesus. Love is his cure for the sick and dying world. Historians, sociologists, and theologians agree that we are experiencing the most fundamental changes in global society in the last five hundred years. And while the church has a lofty vision and mighty power, we are disastrously unprepared. This book presents an understandable, practical, and doable approach to loving others with such clarity and conviction that the world will truly know the God who loves us first.

He explores these people from a pastoral perspective, informed by Jesus teaching in the parable of The Good Samaritan, giving reader’s permission to examine and find new perspectives on getting along with the people we work with.

All Saints
$15.00Add to cartThe True Story Behind the Powerful Upcoming Film ALL SAINTS
This nonfiction book will tell the story behind the upcoming film ALL SAINTS. The movie is inspired by the true story of salesman-turned-pastor Michael Spurlock (Corbett), the tiny church he was ordered to shut down, and a group of refugees from Southeast Asia. Together, they risk everything to plant seeds for a future that might just save them all.
Michael’s first assignment as their new pastor is to close down All Saints, a dilapidated country church with a dozen devoted members and a mortgage well beyond its means. But when the church hesitantly begins welcoming Karen refugees from Burma–former farmers scrambling for a fresh start in America–Michael feels called to an improbable new mission.Jeopardizing his family’s future by ignoring his superiors, Michael must choose between completing what he was assigned to do–close the church and sell the property–or listening to a still, small voice challenging the people of All Saints to risk it all and provide much-needed hope to their new community.
This nonfiction book will tell the true story that inspired the film while also diving deeper into the background of the Karen people, the church, and how a community of believers can coordinate their efforts to help those in need.

Shes Still There
$19.99Add to cartWhat’s a woman to do if her life is not taking shape the way that she thought that it would? What happens when she looks at herself in the mirror, lingering just a little longer than usual and realizes that she no longer recognizes the person staring back at her? What does she do when she sees that, somehow, her life has drifted away from all her original hopes, dreams, or plans? Speaker, blogger and writer Chrystal Evans Hurst wrote this book because she was that woman. One day she realized that she had somehow wandered away from the life that she had purposed to live a long time ago. Chrystal since discovered that this moment of awareness happens to lots of women at different seasons of their lives. Poor decisions, a lack of intentionality or planning, or a long-term denial of deep hopes and dreams can leave a woman, old or young, reeling from the realization that she is lost, disappointed, or simply numb. And she just needs encouragement. This woman simply needs someone to hold her hand, to cheer her on, and to believe with her that she is capable of still being the person she intended to be or discovering the girl she never knew was there in the first place. Chrystal uses her poignant story of an early and unexpected pregnancy, as well as other raw and vulnerable moments in her life, to let readers know she understands what it’s like to try and find your way after some missteps or decisions you didn’t plan on. In She’s Still There Chrystal emphasizes the importance of the personal process and the beauty of that path as it is shared authentically from one girlfriend to another. It’s a book of “me toos”, reminders of the hoped for, and challenges for the path ahead-to find direction, purpose, and true satisfaction.

Into The Wilds
$16.99Add to cartBrent Henderson teaches spiritual truth to men through stories about wilderness trips, hunting excursions, and tales from life in the military. He teaches men about God’s love and grace, and he gets very honest about how men struggle with ego, approval, impure thoughts, spiritual attack, and what to do after hitting bottom. Brent tells his own story of experiencing a personal failing as worship leader of a church and the painful way in which he was ostracized and isolated from support during his “restoration.” He speaks of the people who stepped in to help him find healing and of how to understand that grace and real restoration is available through God. He also tells stories from the many men he has counseled about moving from shame and failure to a place of relief and hope. He uses an acronym “man TEA-Thoughts, Emotions, and Actions-to help the men he disciples and counsels. He tackles issues of pornography, addiction, lust, marriage, and failure. Through it all, he is adamant that real transformation isn’t based on trying harder but instead is found only through experiencing God’s grace and love. He punctuates these truths with great stories of safaris, wilderness excursions, and hunting trips that keep men’s interest while also supporting the spiritual lessons.

No More Excuses
$24.99Add to cartMen look up to the guys who can take a hit and keep going. We respect the fighter who picks himself up off the canvas after a knock-out punch and hangs in until the final bell. The quarterback who gets blindsided but doesn’t fumble the ball earns our approval. Physical toughness like this is admirable, but it takes more than guts to become the men God made us to be, especially when the struggles we face are personal and close to the heart.
The difficulty of emotional pain and spiritual setbacks is of a much different sort than any physical challenge. Many of us men are not comfortable or well-equipped to grapple with them. Tony Evans gives us the kind of advice and inspiration we need to battle on through the most difficult circumstances.
Drawing from the lives of Moses, David, Joseph, Jonah, and other biblical men who faced the worst, Evans pulls men out of their brokenness and declares, “No more!” No more falling short of being the man God desires you to be for any reason. Evans shows that the struggles faced yesterday and today are the very same tools God is using to make us better men for tomorrow.

Spiritual Discipleship : Principles Of Following Christ For Every Believer
$16.99Add to cartTake time and trouble to keep yourself spiritually fit.*
As J. Oswald points out, true discipleship is more than intellectual assent to a belief in Christ; it involves the whole person and lifestyle.
Those with only superficial belief will soon fall away from the faith, but Sanders says a true disciple would rather be presented with a difficult challenge than a soft option. Disciples are charged with the task of training themselves to be godly, because it is their responsibility to remain spiritually fit.

Treasure Principle : Unlocking The Secret Of Joyful Giving
$14.00Add to cartIn this revised and updated edition of the best-selling book, author Randy Alcorn introduces readers to a revolution in material freedom and radical generosity, combining thoughtful Bible exposition with highly practical applications for everyday life. This edition includes a new section that addresses some common questions and misconceptions about biblical principles for our stewardship of material resources. As you engage with the perspective-shifting truths in this book, you’ll learn that when Jesus told His followers to “lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven,” He intended that they discover an astounding secret: how joyful giving brings God maximum glory and His children maximum pleasure.
In Randy Alcorn’s The Treasure Principle, you’ll unearth a radical teaching of Jesus-a secret wrapped up in giving. Once you discover this secret, life will never look the same. And you won’t want it to!
Story Behind the Book
After years of writing and teaching on the theme “God owns everything,” in 1990 Randy Alcorn was sued by an abortion clinic (for peaceful, nonviolent intervention for the unborn). Suddenly he had to resign as a pastor and was restricted to making minimum wage. Legally unable to own anything, Randy gave all his book royalties to missions work and need-meeting ministries. He and his family have experienced the reality of The Treasure Principle-that God really does own everything, takes care of us, and graciously puts assets into our hands that we might have the joy and privilege of investing in what will last for eternity. -
Portals And Pearls
$19.95Add to cartCould your false beliefs actually become iron bars? Josh Billing once purposed this same line of thinking in a quote that has been morphed down through the decades:
“It ain’t what you don’t know that gets you into trouble. It’s what you know for sure that just ain’t so.”
Regardless of whatever morphing this quote may have endured, it has merit. The principle aptly applies to what so many of us experience with regard to our fundamental beliefs about God and what we understand to be the requirements God may be demanding of us. But what if what you know about God … just ain’t so?
Portals & Pearls was written to provoke you to reevaluate what you think “gospel truth” actually means. With devotional-designed chapters, Portals and Pearls is formatted and filled with bite-size ruminations that are engaging, entertaining, and inspiring. In her colorful and clever style, Sherri weaves God’s Word into her adventurous personal experiences to empower lives with freedom and transformation.

Intimate Partner Violence In The Black Church
$43.00Add to cartIntimate Partner Violence (IPV) or Domestic Violence (DV) continues to be a perennial issue in the Black church and Christendom as a whole. Women in the church continue to experience violence at increased rates, but leadership has been delayed in providing a meaningful response to IPV as families experience the turmoil of abuse. Further, more and more children suffer from the trauma of family violence that perpetuates as males, who witness IPV, have a greater susceptibility of becoming abusers and females, who witness abuse, are put in risk of choosing abusers in relationships. The church must now become the leading change agent in the struggle to reduce and end family violence by addressing the heart of the issue, the pulpit, namely male leaders in the church who abuse their wives and hide behind the scripture text. The church must expose the biblical truth regarding marriage and relationships and embed policy within the by-laws of the church that provide victims and survivors with opportunities for confidential reporting, resources when they are ready to leave, and on-going support for women who desire to transition from abuse to survivorship.

Confess Your Sins
$18.99Add to cartAn evangelical classic for a new generation of Christian readers
Back in print for the first time in many years, John Stott’s classic treatise on confession discusses a neglected Christian practice. Though the Bible clearly teaches that confession is a necessary part of the redemption story, many Christians are uncertain how and to whom they should confess their sins. Stott offers vital answers in Confess Your Sins: The Way of Reconciliation.
After presenting the necessity of confession, Stott distinguishes between three types of confession-in secret to God, in private to a person whom our sin has injured, and in public in the presence of a Christian congregation. He shows how this threefold distinction is biblically grounded, and he critically examines the practice of confessing to a priest. Offering assurance of forgiveness to Christians, this little book opens the door to fruitful conversation about the practice of confession.

saw the resurrected Jesus, and quickly began telling people who had no hope that God would provide all they needed. Those few listeners grew to hundreds of thousands and became the world s largest church.This book will:
*Provide principles for a strong daily walk
*Teach readers how to depend on the Holy Spirit
*Encourage readers to believe for and trust God s supernatural power
*Share the truth that God can use any believer to accomplish tremendous things for his kingdom
*Offer the hope of restoration, forgiveness, and courage to begin againWith an understanding that all people doubt, Dr. Cho and Dr. Goodall explain how to grow in faith and live in a hope that chooses to believe in spite of our circumstance, occupation, family, finance, or a myriad of other concerns.

Way Of Hope
$18.00Add to cartMost churches today struggle to answer the same-sex relationship debate that is quickly transforming our culture, our kids, and our churches. As a result, Christians struggle to demonstrate love and grace to those with same-sex attraction. That means that more and more people who are looking for truth and a place where they belong are deciding that the church is either indifferent to their struggle or outright hostile to “people like them.”
There’s a better way–the way of hope. With deep understanding born from her own painful experiences, Melissa Fisher shows that somewhere between the extremes of condemning and condoning is compassion. In this book, she aims to equip the church to make a positive difference in the lives of those hurting from relational or sexual brokenness. Perfect for pastors, parents, siblings, and friends of the ten million people in America who identify as LGBTQ, who long to love them well.

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He makes me to lie down in green pastures;
He leads me beside the still waters…These are the opening lines to one of the most memorized, inspirational, and comforting passages in the Bible-and one of the greatest poems of all time. In six verses, it provides a microcosm of God’s grace. When anxiety robs us of sleep, our most powerful “tranquilizer” is Psalm 23. It’s a soul-soother. It appears in the middle of a trilogy of psalms dealing with our past, our present, and our future needs.
In The Lord is My Shepherd, Morgan teaches Psalm 23 verse-by-verse, explaining its extraordinary power to change lives and ease our troubles. He shares its fascinating context and colorful background, as well as his own charming, real-life stories of herding sheep. You’ll find encouragement to enjoy the “green pastures” of life while becoming strengthened by the “dark valleys.” Furthermore, Morgan maintains that some of the Bible’s richest truths are summarized in these six simple verses of Psalm 23. In knowing the Good Shepherd, we have total resources for all our internal, external, and eternal needs.
Through this clear explanation of the biblical text and great stories that illustrate the love and care of the shepherd, The Lord is My Shepherd will help you rediscover the joy, inspiration, and peace in the green pastures of this beloved psalm.

Additional Info
We can see evidence of injustice all around us, whether in continuing incidents of racial inequality or in the systemic forces that disenfranchise people and perpetuate poverty. It’s important to learn about the world’s inequities and to be a voice for the voiceless any way we can. But in an age of hashtag and armchair activism, merely raising awareness about injustice is not enough. Michelle Warren knows what is needed. She and her family have chosen to live in communities where they are “proximate to the pain of the poor.” This makes all the difference in facing and overcoming injustice. When we build relationships where we live, we discover the complexities of standing with the vulnerable and the commitment needed for long-term change. Proximity changes our perspective, compels our response, and keeps us committed to the journey of pursuing justice for all. Move beyond awareness and experience the power of proximity. -

Kingdom Disciples : Heavens Representatives On Earth
$18.40Add to cartThe missing key to Christianity in America
There is a missing key in Christianity today. It is a critical key, and its absence has led to weak believers, disintegrating families, ineffective churches, and a decaying culture. Without the full use of this key, we lack the tools needed to fully live as heaven’s representatives on earth.
That missing key is discipleship. In Kingdom Disciples, Tony Evans outlines a simple, actionable definition of discipleship to help the church fulfill its calling. Readers will learn:
*What a disciple essentially is
*What a disciple cares about
*How to be a disciple and make disciples
*What discipleship looks like in community
*What the impact of discipleship on the world should beKingdom disciples are short supply, and the results are legions of powerless Christians attending powerless churches, resulting in a powerless presence in the world. The power, authority, abundance, victory, and impact God has promised will only come about when we understand and align ourselves with His definition of discipleship.
It is the goal of this book Kingdom Disciples to call believers and churches back to our primary, divinely ordained responsibility to be disciples and make disciples. Only when we take seriously this assignment will the world see heaven at work on earth. Will you accept the assignment?
Useful for base material in a course on discipleship.

Stand Strong In Your Faith
$21.99Add to cartWhat do you stand for? For truth? For Jesus? For traditional marriage? Or pro-life? A large population of Christians say they stand for what the Bible teaches, yet, when challenged, they can’t articulate what that exactly is.

In all the posts, tweets, podcasts, and sound bites from political pundits, there is an absence of Christians standing strong in their faith. The presence and voice of Christianity is being flooded out by other growing religions and ideologies. So where does that leave Christianity?

*Religious freedom or religious discrimination
*Six Christian duties no one else can do for you
*The role of the Holy Spirit in a believer’s life
*Do we all worship the same God?
*How to be fearless in the midst of fear
*Did Jesus really rise from the dead?
*How can I know if the Bible is true?
*What’s the best way to study the Bible?It is not enough to say you’re a Christian. In Stand Strong in Your Faith, authors Jason Jimenez and Alex McFarland share bold truth that will take you from saying you believe to actually living what you believe with confidence and passion.

Fear Not : A Journey From Fear To Freedom
$19.99Add to cartWhat has fear stolen from you or your loved one? Fear is a dream killer, and if left unchecked, it will keep you from walking in your destiny. The good news is in the Good News. God, in His word, reveals everything we need to know to totally eradicate fear from our lives. In “Fear Not! A Journey from Fear to Freedom,” Gary Hohweiler examines every scripture dealing with fear, anxiety, and worry, and applies God’s solution to each and every situation. God took the time to make sure He gave us everything we need to live a fearless life.
Many of us treat God’s word like the owner’s manual in our car. We pull it out only when we have a problem. Well, fear is a problem for 99.9 percent of the population. If you are in the .1 percent not impacted, please disregard this book. By the way, His word was not given to us as a suggestion. God’s word is like medicine to the soul and spirit: apply it liberally, daily until you walk in complete freedom of fear. Gary Hohweiler had a radical encounter with God on a New Mexico mountaintop on September 10, 2005. That day, he received a heart transplant performed by the Lord Himselt. It was there that Gary learned God could use anyone to accomplish His purpose. He and Randa Lea, his wife of thirty-three years, have just recently moved back to God’s country (aka Oklahoma). They have been happily married for nine years since his heart transplant. Gary has served as a deacon and LifeGroup leader at Gateway Church in Southlake, Texas, for the past five years.

World To Love And Not To Love
$18.99Add to cartThere are two worlds–God’s creation and the present world system. God loves His creation and has a restoration plan for it. But the world’s system organized under the direct influence of the devil is in direct opposition to God. Horace E. Allen reveals the true nature of the world we should not love.
Social and political correctness have replaced God’s standard of righteousness. The result is a world system in constant moral, social, and ethical decline. This declining moral system is constantly being redesigned by man’s imagination to accommodate his unrestrained sinful desires. What was once immoral is now accepted as normal. Christians who determine to maintain a biblical standard are put on the defensive and labeled intolerant.
Understanding the true nature of the world God created and this world’s system will help us make right choices to live God’s way.There is a clear line between what is godly and what is ungodly. Likewise, there should be a difference between the standards of believers and nonbelievers. The World to Love and Not to Love will give readers clarity about the dividing line between the secular and spiritual worlds.

Mercy That Endureth
$12.99Add to cartWhen I think about the mercy of God especially toward this generation where there is less or no more regard for God Almighty as it were in those days; where everyone indulge themselves in evil act, where religion has become an excuse for an act of terror, where the love of money has replaced the love of God even in the heart of the believers, where corruption has become the order of the day, where youth idolizes the things of the world and lust after its immorality, where knowledge has become a snare and wisdom a pestilence to the citizen of the world. Then this I concluded in my heart that if God can be patient enough to delay His wrath of His judgement over the world in general, then I think it is an understatement to say He is merciful but I will rather say God Himself is the definition, the true depiction and the description of mercy. This book reveals the deep things about the mercy of God which many Christians don’t really realize. What more did you know about the mercy of God and what can we say about its efficacy. But the mercy of God is way beyond what we think and we need to learn a little more about it, that we might appreciate God.

Kingdom Learning : Experiential And Reflective Approaches To Christian Form
$36.99Add to cartFor generations most churchgoers have been encouraged to see the responsibility for the life and mission of the church in the hands of the trained clergy. A church embracing God’s call to mission requires these same worshippers to see themselves as “missionary disciples” with a vital part to play in the church’s ministry. How is a change of this magnitude to be accomplished?
Drawing on the discipline of adult education and his own research into the way people learn, David Heywood explains how churches can become learning communities in which people grow as disciples and find their place in a collaborative pattern of ministry. He challenges the prevailing approach to ministerial training as overly theoretical and individualistic, and points towards a model of training based around shared reflection on practice.

Ultima Flecha – (Spanish)
$15.99Add to cartCuando llegues al final de tus dias, no mediras el valor de tu vida a base de exitos y fracasos. Todo eso comenzara a difuminarse en una sola memoria llamada “vida”. Lo que te dara consuelo, o te perseguira hasta tu ultimo suspiro, es lo que pudiste haber hecho, pero no hiciste; lo que pudiste haber sido, pero nunca llegaste a ser; la vida que hubieras podido vivir que nunca viviste.
Este libro es un mapa que desafia probabilidades y altera destinos. Descubre los atributos de quienes desafian la mediocridad, a medida que Erwin Raphael McManus examina las caracteristicas de aquellos que arriesgaron todo por una vida que tan solo podian imaginar. Imaginate viviendo la vida que estabas convencido de que tan solo era un sueo.
Todos comenzamos esta vida con una vaina llena de flechas. La eleccion es tuya. Te aferras a tus flechas, o las arriesgas todas optando por vivir hasta que no te queda nada que dar?
When you come to the end of your days, you will not measure your life based on success and failures. All of those will eventually blur together into a single memory called “life.” What will give you solace is a life with nothing left undone. One that’s been lived with relentless ambition, a heart on fire, and with no regrets. On the other hand, what will haunt you until your final breath is who you could have been but never became and what you could have done but never did.
The Last Arrow is your roadmap to a life that defies odds and alters destinies. Discover the attributes of those who break the gravitational pull of mediocrity as Erwin McManus examines the characteristics of individuals who risked everything for a life they could only imagine. Imagine living the life you were convinced was only a dream.
We all begin this life with a quiver full of arrows. Now the choice is yours. Will you cling to your arrows or risk them all, opting to live until you have nothing left to give?

When Parenting Isnt Perfect
$19.99Add to cartPerfection is the enemy of parenting. Jim Daly sees and hears from mothers and fathers trying hard to pursue perfection. They listen to the best experts and read all the right books. When someone gives them a “World’s Best Mom” or “No. 1 Dad” coffee mug, they want it to be true. And they want their children to pursue perfection, too.
It’s admirable for parents to be the very best moms and dads they can be for their children. But sometimes in so doing, they leave grace behind-both for themselves and their children. Jim believes that our quest for perfection, a quest that he believes is particularly strong among Christians, runs counter to God’s own boundless gift of grace. We can become Pharisaical parents, quoting endless rules and holding everyone to impossible standards. But God doesn’t want us, and our kids don’t need us, to be perfect. As parents, we’re called to simply do our best. And when we fail-which we will-we’re called to try again tomorrow.
Though he’s the President of Focus on the Family, Jim does not promise that his book will be a catalyst for a perfect family. But it can help point the way toward a good family-one that feels safe and warm; one filled with love and laughter. This book will encourage mothers and fathers to embrace the messiness of parenthood and show grace to their own less-than-ideal children. Jim, through his own experiences, expertise, and array of stories, will lead both moms and dads to a better understanding of what being a good family is all about.

Light Is Winning
$16.99Add to cartIf anyone had good reason to join the league of the “Nones,” the “Dones,” and the deconstructionists, it would be Zach Hoag. After growing up and out of the compound walls of a Texas cult, and becoming a failed church planter in one of the most post-Christian cities in America, Zach was faced with both a crisis and a choice. He loved Jesus, yet questioned: If the church is such a broken system, is it really worth belonging to anymore?
The viral upswing of the “spiritual but not religious” trend has cast religion as going rapidly out of style. Yet even in his own desert of deconstruction, Zach couldn’t shake his desire for a spiritual home. His search ultimately led him to look behind the statistics, where Zach found an astonishing undercurrent subversively at work.
The truth, as Zach discovered, is that we are in a cultural moment of apocalypse. Not an end-of-the-world apocalypse, but in the very literal sense of the word which translates simply, “a revealing.” Perhaps the downtrend of Christian faith in America is just the kind of Great Revealing we need to show us who we really are as American Christians, who Jesus really is in our midst, and how we can step into the flourishing faith he has always intended for us.
For anyone who is anxious about the future of the church and their place in it, The Light Is Winning rallies to an unexpected, unshakeable hope: Could it be that we’ve made religion out to be the culprit when in fact, religion is just what we need to revive us? Could it be that our struggle for relevance must come to a necessary end, so that we can get to the real? After all, isn’t this the essence of the story of God: death paves the way for a resurrected, deeply rooted, flourishing faith. Such faith can be yours. The Light Is Winning will show you how.

Training To Win
$15.98Add to cartHundreds of books claim to offer the best in physical fitness programs. But rarely is time taken to reflect on what kind of shape we are in spiritually. A gifted pastor and preacher, as well as a dynamic teacher, Kenneth Ulmer offers Christians a different kind of fitness program–the eternal kind.
Training to Win is a spiritual fitness program that helps Christians move beyond the surface “spirituality” that has become so popular in today’s culture to a much deeper level–godliness. “Paul told us to train ourselves for godliness,” Ulmer writes. “Our target–the mark we shoot for, the purpose for which we are called–is godliness.”
Training to Win is an engaging look at the Scriptures that takes you step-by-step through the issues and hurdles of training toward godliness. It is divided into three sections that explore the principle of godliness, the process of godliness, and the practice of godliness. Set in a reader-interactive, Bible study format complete with questions at the end of each chapter, Training to Win will lead you to the “workout” of your life–one that will lead you to peace, understanding and eternal spiritual fitness. -

Nexus : Understanding Faith And Modern Culture
$29.95Add to cartThe Nexus,” so-named because of the operational intersection or “Nexus” of faith and culture, is an alphabetized manual of cultural artifacts of significance to Christians.
In “The Nexus,” Jon Widener observes how Christianity has lost many battles over the years and how the evangelical community has been fraught with endemic anti-intellectualism. He sees an evangelical insularity taking the form of retreat and retrenchment from the comings and goings of the larger society.
Dr. Widener proposes that modern Christian believers correct these deficits by exercising the exhortation of I Pet 3:15 (KJV) to always be prepared “to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you.” Believers should educate themselves on culturally relevant issues where there are questions of Christian morality. This is the burden and purpose of the book. Accordingly, the standard for inclusion is straight-forward. If the topic is culturally encountered and has moral implications, then it meets the threshold standard for inclusion in the work.

Additional Info
How are Christians viewed in the broader culture? We blush at the possibilities. Brainwashed fanatics? Out-of-touch dogmatists? Buffoons? The task of bearing faithful witness to Jesus is complicated by persistent-and not altogether baseless-cultural stereotypes. In our post-Christian society, thoughtful Christians are considering again how to engage the dominant culture as a minority, a counterpublic, amid varying perceptions and misperceptions. In this timely book, Timothy Muehlhoff and Rick Langer ask what our interactions with the dominant cultural ethos should look like. How might we be persuasive and civil at the same time? How should we respond to those who ridicule and caricature us? How can we challenge the beliefs of other communities with love and respect? Muehlhoff and Langer present a model for cultural engagement that integrates communication theory, theology, and Scripture. Penetrating, wise, and relentlessly practical, it includes test cases and examples from history, such as William Wilberforce and Harriet Beecher Stowe. Now more than ever, Christians need what Winsome Persuasion offers: a compelling vision of public engagement that is both shrewd and gracious. -
Movies Are Prayers
$17.99Add to cartMovies are our way of telling God what we think about this world and our place in it. . . . Movies can be many things: escapist experiences, historical artifacts, business ventures, and artistic expressions, to name a few. I’d like to suggest that they can also be prayers. Movies do more than tell a good story. They are expressions of raw emotion, naked vulnerability, and unbridled rage. They often function in the same way as prayers, communicating our deepest longings and joys, to a God who hears each and every one. In this captivating book, Filmspotting cohost Josh Larsen brings a critic’s unique perspective to how movies function as expressions to God of lament, praise, joy, confession, and more. His clear expertise and passion for the art of film along with his thoughtful reflections on the nature of prayer will bring you a better understanding of both. God’s omnipresence means that you can find him whether you’re sitting on your sofa at home or in the seats at the theater. You can talk to him wherever movies are shown. And when words fail, the perfect film might be just what you need to jumpstart your conversations with the Almighty.

Learning Contentment : A Study For Ladies Of Every Age
$12.00Add to cartWe tend to think being “stressed out” is a normal state of affairs, and that contentment means sitting back and just bottling things up. For the Christian, however, contentment is something we must apply, work at, and make our own in every circumstance, because anxiety and frustration are not neutral behaviors.
It is certainly easier to just go with our natural impulses when times are “annoying” or when times are very hard, but contentment is an important part of our Christian life. Even the apostle Paul had to “learn” contentment. So we shouldn’t wonder why we’re still in spiritual kindergarten-repeating the same lessons over and over again-if we haven’t given ourselves to study contentment.
Thankfully, every test God gives on contentment is open book (even the pop quizzes!). In Learning Contentment, Nancy Wilson looks to the Bible and Puritans like Burroughs, Rutherford, Watson, and Spurgeon to help us develop the practical, spiritual strength and the perspective that comes from contentment’s deep satisfaction with the will of God.
This encouraging little book includes concise explanations, application questions and assignments that will involve and challenge everyone, and lots of biblical wisdom for individuals and groups.
