Our Triune God
$15.00Add to cartProvides a pastor’s perspective for a fuller understanding of the saving, mysterious, practical, and glorious Trinity. How are we to relate to a three-personed God? The idea of the Trinity may initially seem too abstract to understand, but the truth is that a deeper knowledge of God as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit has daily importance. Convinced that many Christians “have some level of awareness that God is triune…[but] are virtually Unitarian,” the authors have written a practical and theologically robust resource to help readers grow closer to the Triune God. Philip Ryken and Michael LeFebvre examine the doctrine of the Trinity in four parts. They explain the roles of the Father, Son, and Spirit in salvation; answer difficult questions about the Trinity; explore the believer’s relationship to each person of the Trinity; and provide an exposition of the various Gospel narratives depicting how the three persons of the Trinity work together to accomplish the redemptive purposes of God. Their careful treatment of these central truths captures important implications for the Christian life.Our Triune God is a helpful guide for Christians wanting to deepen their faith and for pastors as they shepherd their congregations toward a richer love of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

Working : Christian Explorations Of Daily Living
$19.00Add to cartWorking. We spend most of our waking hours doing it but rarely consider its theological meanings or implications. Is work a punishment or curse, an avenue to human flourishing or something else? Is there a distinctively Christian approach to working? Darby Ray, whose work on Christology and ethics has emphasized the surprising breadth and elasticity of the Christian past, lifts up key insights from Christian scripture and tradition and considers their implications for today’s complex, globalized world of work.
Ray suggests that for the triune God as for humans everywhere, working is an everyday practice fraught with both peril and promise. As an essential yet often dehumanizing dimension of human experience, work stands in continual need of serious Christian consideration. Working responds to this need with imagination and courage, providing an informative, accessible, and theologically compelling exploration of what is arguably the defining activity of our time.

Christian Atheist : Believing In God But Living As If He Doesnt Exist
$19.99Add to cartThe more I looked, the more I found Christian Atheists everywhere.’ Former Christian Atheist Craig Groeschel knows his subject all too well. After over a decade of successful ministry, he had to make a painful self admission: although he believed in God, he was leading his church like God didn’t exist. To Christians and non-Christians alike, to the churched and the unchurched, the journey leading up to Groeschel’s admission and the journey that follows—from his family and his upbringing to the lackluster and even diametrically opposed expressions of faith he encountered—will look and sound like the story of their own lives. Now the founding and senior pastor of the multicampus, pace-setting LifeChurch.tv, Groeschel’s personal journey toward a more authentic God-honoring life is more relevant than ever.

Life Interrupted : Navigating The Unexpected
$17.99Add to cartFrom telemarketers to traffic jams to twenty-item shoppers in the ten-item line, our lives are full of interruptions. They’re often aggravating, sometimes infuriating, and can make us want to tell people what we really think about them. But they also tell us something quite important about ourselves. The prophet Jonah’s life was interrupted by a clear call of God that made him mad enough and scared enough to run in the completely opposite direction. Yet it wasn’t really an interruption. It was an opportunity for Jonah to be involved in something the likes of which the Old Testament world had never seen: national revival in a Gentile country. What if Jonah had seen God’s interruption for what it truly was-a divine intervention that held more adventure and possibility than any other thing he could have been doing at the time? What could have felt any better than being directly in the center of God’s will? Yet we play it that same way-always running from major pains and minor problems that just don’t seem to suit us at the time. Who knows what we’re missing by being so interruption avoidant? In this very personal account of opportunities lost and lessons learned, popular conference speaker and author Priscilla Shirer shows how to embrace the amazing freedom and fulfillment that comes from going with God, even when He’s going against your grain. .

Praying In The Messiness Of Life
$12.99Add to cartMany Christians think they can grow closer to God if they just try harder. They get up earlier to pray, join a prayer group, read the latest spiritual book, or go on a retreat. Rather than feeling closer to God, they find themselves unfulfilled, frustrated with traditional prayer methods, unable to relate to God in the midst of their busy lives.
Praying in the Messiness of Life suggests fresh ideas for weaving prayer into each day instead of simply making more time for prayer. Linda Douty helps readers become more aware of God’s presence even in the messy parts of life. She offers specific prayers and tools for integrating prayer into daily life so readers can have the intimate relationship with God they’ve always desired.
Each chapter includes reflection questions, and a group guide appears at the back of the book.

Spirituality has an indispensable role to play in the expression of our humanity. However, spiritual practices can sometimes make us less, not more, authentically human. We may be good Christians, but we aren’t good human beings. How can we ensure that our spiritual journey is conducted in a way that allows us to become fully alive and deeply human?David Benner has spent thirty-five years integrating psychology and spirituality. Here he presents an expansive, psychologically informed understanding of spirituality, probing the contrasts between soulful and soulless spirituality, deep and shallow religion, and healthy and unhealthy relationships with God to affirm the vital role of human development in the spiritual journey. Benner then suggests soulful practices for cultivating the Christian spiritual life.
This book will appeal to readers seeking depth and substance in their quest for authentic spirituality. It will also be a helpful resource for mental health professionals and spiritual directors. Reflection questions and exercises for individual or group use are included at the end of each chapter.

Holiness Turth And The Presence Of God
$14.99Add to cartThis is a book for those who are unsatisfied with their spiritual progress and willing to do something about it. It is for every believer who feels he cannot exist unless he finds the fullness of God. Frangipane describes the path toward true holiness with these words: “It is a path full of both life and death, perils and blessings. It is a path upon which you will be challenged, empowered, provoked, and crucified. But you will not be disappointed. If it is God you seek, it is God you will find.” Our goal is to seek and to find the holiness that leads us into the true presence of God. If you are faithful to your goal of Christlikeness, God will give you the grace to live in His presence. And when Christ, who is your life, is revealed, you also will be revealed with Him in glory (Col. 3:3-4). And as you persist with the Almighty, the sacred fire of His presence will consume the wood, hay, and stubble of your former ways. Power such as Jesus had will reside in your innermost being. Angels will stand in awe, for your gold will be refined, your garments light, and your life holy.

Help Me Im A Religious Wreck And You Can Find Me In The Desert
$13.95Add to cartEveryday countless numbers of believers experience crisis that tests their faith. Once thrust into the storm, the sifting begins, and we must make a choice to stand on truth. To complicate the matter, we may respond in sin and continue in error by pointing the blame on others. After our faith falters through a trial, we may abandon it and suffer the stigma of what the Apostle Paul called, “a shipwrecked faith.” Not understanding why this happens to loyal believers, who once felt so close to God, we turn away from our faith. Like spiritual nomads, we leave the congregation, fleeing for refuge in a desert of our own making. What we may not comprehend, or appreciate is that God’s grace sustains us during our season of separation. This book helps the reader to regain stability during a stretch in the desert and see it as an opportunity for refining and redefining our faith. Alternatively, faith failure occurs when a believer naively misplaces faith to truth in a system of religious works, or persons and suffers when they do not uphold the teachings of Jesus. When we walk from false religious teachings, associates label us as failures and reject us. Broken hearted and disillusioned by our situation, we give up our religion and turn our back on everything we once believed in. We may spend years hiding in the desert making little progress in our faith, until we realize that we are spiritually thirsty. We long for God’s love and wish someone would help us find the way to restore our faith. Our cry is like the title of this book, “Help Me! I’m a Religious Wreck and You Can Find Me in the Desert” and here it is with care, placed into your hands, from one who understands the cry.

Other Jesus : Rejecting A Religion Of Fear For The God Of Love
$21.00Add to cartAccording to recent surveys, many Americans associate the label “Christian” with judgmental attitudes, hypocrisy, fear of hell, and a committment to right-wing politics. Author Greg Garrett suggests another way, arguing that a faith that focuses solely on personal morality and the afterlife misses much of the point of Jesus’ message.
Popular author Greg Garrett offers seekers a new “Christianity 2.0:” a religion centered not on judgmental attitudes, but on loving each other and loving God, or as Garrett puts it, “love, where the rubber meets the road, where faith meets the world.”
Personal and moving, the book relates the author’s personal experience growing up in–and leaving–a disapproving conservative church and then finding his way back to a different kind of Christian community, which is communal, missional, just, and loving. Garrett draws upon popular culture to illustrate his spiritual points, showing how authentic Christian truth can be found in unlikely places.

Souls In Full Sail
$25.99Add to cart“We do not set out to become old. Far from it. We hardly intend even to become middle-aged. Instead we plan to live in some eternal now which will lead on to something better, something more complete than what we had before. . . . Sometime in our spiritual travels, as a complete surprise, we notice it has become winter. . . . This change has occurred, it seems, without preparation, without fair warning.” So spirituality writer Emilie Griffin begins, taking us on an exploration of our later years. It is a book filled with wonderful, rich story, carefully crafted spiritual exercises and wisdom from those who have gone before us. She explores relocation, vocational changes, losing her mother, and negotiating and renegotiating her relationships with her grown children. The journey of our later years is a wondrous voyage, though turbulent at points. But it is, as Emilie Griffin reminds us, the journey we have been preparing for all along.

10 Lies Men Believe
$19.99Add to cartWhat Makes a Man? Every day our dysfunctional culture sends mixed signals about manhood as we are bombarded with messages that try to set the standard for us. The world of sports tells us that authentic masculinity is linked to physical strength and winning the game. The world of finance suggests that our worth is tied to the size of our bank accounts, the square footage of our houses, and the make and model of the cars we drive. Hollywood tells us that real manhood is measured by our sexual prowess. But if we are honest we must admit that muscles, money, and multiple sex partners don’t qualify us for true manhood. The measure of a real man goes much deeper.

Amor Y Respeto (Workbook) – (Spanish) (Workbook)
$14.99Add to cartIntroducing the much-anticipated workbook to the groundbreaking book by the same title, Love & Respect.
Psychological studies affirm it, and the Bible has been saying it for ages. Cracking the communication code between husband and wife involves understanding one thing: that unconditional respect is as powerful for him as unconditional love is for her. It’s the secret to marriage that every couple seeks, and yet few couples ever find. Based upon Ephesians 5:33 and extensive biblical and psychological research, Dr. Emerson Eggerichs reveals the power of unconditional love and unconditional respect and how husbands and wives can reap the benefits of marriage that God intended. Using Dr. Eggerich’s breakthrough techniques, this workbook provides excellent study material, whether for a group or for individual couples, as they seek to understand each other and God’s plan for their lives together.
Descubra el secreto mas grande para un matrimonio exitoso.

Es el secreto del matrimonio que cada pareja busca pero que muy pocas encuentran. Basado en Efesios 5.33 en un estudio biblico y psicologico profundo, el Dr. Eggerichs revela el poder del amor y el respeto incondicional y como la pareja puede beneficiarse de un matrimonio que Dios desea. Utilizando las innovadoras tecnicas del Dr. Eggerichs, este cuaderno provee una excelente guia de estudio tanto para grupos o parejas que buscan entenderse y el proposito de Dios en sus vidas. -
Gospel According To Bob Dylan
$22.00Add to cartDuring a Bob Dylan concert at the Royal Albert Hall in the mid-’60s, a heckler in the audience shouted “Judas!” at the performer. Few musicians, however, have stayed as loyal to their vocation as Bob Dylan, according to Gilmour (Gods and Guitars), an associate professor of New Testament and English at Providence College in Manitoba, Canada. Gilmour has written much about rock music, and his perspective is always fresh and intelligent. Dylan is a fertile subject for theological analysis since the musician has never shied away from biblical and other religious imagery in his songs. The author states that listeners are going to bring to Dylan’s songs their personal religious experience and find within Dylan the man and Dylan the musician what they desire to discover, including spiritual significance. The author digs into Dylan’s life story and, as a true fan himself, captures the genuine love that fans hold for the music icon. Gilmour’s approach to the subject transcends simplistic theological analysis of songs and does much to enhance the academic credibility of pop culture studies. Fans of Dylan and rock music in general will be pleased with this treatment of a living legend.

Giant Killers
$16.99Add to cartThe motionless form of a giant of Gath lay face down on the battlefield of Shochoh and blood from his forehead seeped into the earth below his face. The great intimidator Goliath, champion of Philistia, lay motionless. His terrifying words had ceased. A smooth stone from a shepherd boy’s sling was embedded in his skull. Goliath was finished.
For the shepherd boy David, it was a giant-sized step into the awesome place of destiny that God had ordained for him. It was a step from obscurity and rejection to kingly dominion, fame and wealth, global and eternal influence. It was a step that was ultimately felt as Messiah took His place in history establishing His Kingdom on Earth. Like David, an army of giant killers has been prepared by God for this hour. Often with small flocks and in lonely places of isolation, rejection and insignificance, this body of men, women, boys and girls is receiving its training for the most fruitful, significant time ever planned for world history.
The giants we face are not going to destroy us. We are not their prey. They are ours. They are food for us. They are to be swallowed up by God’s anointed champions, by the mighty power indwelling us. They are “our breakfast”, strengthening our resolve to step up to each new day.
Giant Killers will empower YOU, the everyday believer as YOU take on the Giants that YOU face in life. Tim Hall is a dynamic evangelist who has a passion to see souls saved and lives changed by the power of the Holy Spirit. Walk with Tim Hall as he guides you to experience the miraculous power of God in your life.

Fools Guide To Wisdom
$26.99Add to cartParadox is present when the opposite of what one expects to be true, is true. The capacity to see paradox is the prerequisite to becoming wise. It is expressed when the weak become strong, those who lose their life find it, and the disheartened find the Lord who uses those “things that are not-to nullify the things that are (1 Corinthians 1:28 NIV).” This work demonstrates paradox in health, medicine, business, organizational leadership, cultural myths related to the family, the symptomatic solutions common in political and social structures, and in the spirituality expressed by people of faith. As the former director of an adolescent rehabilitation facility, the author has a keen awareness of the devastation caused by the failures of this generation. Clear and concise recommendations demonstrate the small changes that create enormous differences. We will discover that wisdom begins when we ‘fear the Lord’ and have ‘knowledge of the Holy One.’ The wise see paradox, but not because they look for it. Their openness of thought leads to a perception that life is an interaction of complex systems and ideas that truly transcend us all. Those with the God-given capacity to integrate knowledge, emotion, and faith will, in the end, find wisdom. Rick Myatt is a licensed psychotherapist with an extensive history. From building an orphanage in a war-torn country to becoming the director of an adolescent psychiatric rehabilitation facility, his experience includes crisis intervention, treating sexual addictions, and caring for children victimized by the murder of parents and child prostitution. With Masters Degrees in Marriage and Family Therapy and in Theology, he has also completed all Ph. D. coursework in Family Sociology. He currently specializes in organizing his community to detect and prevent workplace violence.

After Shock : Searching For Honest Faith When Your World Is Shaken
$22.99Add to cartIn the wake of a historic earthquake in the fragile country of Haiti, Kent Annan considers suffering–from the epic to the everyday–as a problem for faith.
Less than two weeks after the release of Kent’s book about his work with Haiti Partners, he heard the news.
Friends trapped under the rubble of buildings. Friends sprinting across the city looking for family. Churches–including one Kent often attended–turned to rubble. Suddenly Kent and his friends were part of an uncomfortable fellowship: people whose faith is shaken by crisis. Taking courage from the psalmists of old and the company of his grieving neighbors, Kent has found that there is solidarity in suffering. Others have followed life to the edge of meaning and have heard God even there, calling for honest faith.
Are there questions or realities your faith can’t handle?

He Still Moves Stones

He still moves stones.
People with questions. The Bible is absolutely full of them. A crook on a cross. A wild man in a cemetery. A five-time divorcee. A despondent cripple. A grieving sister. A father at the end of his rope.
Why are these portraits in the Bible? So we can look back in amazement at what Jesus did? No … these aren’t just Sunday school stories. They are historic moments in which a real God met real pain so we could answer the question. “Does God care when I hurt?”
On every page of this powerfully moving book, Max Lucado reminds us, the God who spoke to Moses at the burning bush still speaks loudly to you today. The God who forgave King David still offers you forgiveness. The God who helped men and women in ages past still comes into your world, and he comes to do what you can’t, to move the stone away so you can see his answer.

Experiencing Gods Love In The Church
$16.99Add to cartThe church still demonstrates the heart of God to a wanting world.
Some turn off the church, criticizing its flaws and saying it is passe. Lost love for one another is the cause. When love is absent in a church, the results mar the church’s repuration. Church splits. Disloyalty. Disrespect. Disputes over nothing. Church hoping. Bashing good pastors.
Experiencing God’s Love in the Church encourages everyday believers to reconsider what Christ intended His body to be. Tom Blackaby calls readers to revive their commitment to love one another. When the world sees God’s people love as He loves, they see the Father – who sent the Son as a demonstration of His irresistable love for all.

Seeking Wisdom From God
$17.95Add to cartSeeking Wisdom From God is a must read for anyone who is hungry for the meat of God’s Word. The answers to life’s questions as well as absolute truth are found in the Word of God. However, for the most part, these answers and truths lay beneath the surface of the verses and only when we seek discernment from God will they be revealed. God does not hide His truth to keep His children from finding it, but He did intentionally make deeper levels of understanding accessible only with His help.
Seeking Wisdom from God is about God’s promise to give abundantly to anyone who will seek wisdom through Him. God will reveal understanding that has escaped even the most learned of scholars. According to 1 Cor. 1:28,29, God’s extraordinary way of revealing His truth is through ordinary people.
With our advances in understanding the ancient Hebrew and Greek languages coupled with the dissecting of Scripture using historical, textual, and literary analysis, knowledge has increased exponentially. However, knowledge always increases faster than wisdom, and because of this, we have a glut of biblical knowledge and a shortage of wisdom. We need to know less and understand more.
This book chronicles the results of a heart and mind that learned early in life to go to the heavenly Father for understanding. It is a personal twenty-six-year case study of the faithfulness of God, who will give wisdom to anyone who asks. Seeking wisdom from God early in the author’s Christian walk did not happen because he was wise, but because of circumstances that God orchestrated for his training on how to find truth in His Word. May the different views shared in this book confirm that discernment of spiritual truth can only come from the spiritual.

No One Has Hired Us
$11.95Add to cartMany excellent books have been written on the subject of how to get a job, and it is not my goal to add another to the library shelves. This study seeks to examine employment and unemployment from a Biblical perspective and will hopefully make suitable companion reading for other self-help books. If the Bible is-as many people say-God’s operating manual for successful living, then surely it will be our source of needed wisdom to cope with every life situation, including joblessness.
Contrary to the opinion of some people, the Bible has great relevance in today’s world. I have discovered a virtual gold mine of guidance, instruction, and encouragement for those who would turn to God’s Word in times of unemployment. Like gold, however, the nuggets are seldom found on the surface; they must be discovered through some effort. They are found embedded in the principles governing God’s kingdom that are scattered throughout the Bible. These principles will not only teach us how we should live, but also how we can make a living.

Spiritual Senses
$16.95Add to cart“A Christian is not one who does this and that and another thing which is prescribed to be done; a Christian is not one who refrains from doing this and that and another thing because they are forbidden; a Christian is not one at all who is governed by the externalities of a way of life, an order, a legalistic system which says, you must, and you must not: a Christian is comprehended in this saying, ‘It pleased God to reveal His Son in me: ‘ (Gal. 1:15-16).”
Spiritual Senses is a compilation of four separate writings from our beloved author, T. Austin-Sparks. In each section of this book, he brings to our attention the desires and heart of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, concerning ourselves, our desolateness, and finally, how to go on onto Spiritual Maturity. So deep is this book that a person must have the revelation of Christ, His suffering and pain, and His ultimate glory, in order to appreciate what T. Austin-Sparks is saying.
This is not a book to be read speedily, but to be considered carefully in prayer, lest we miss any of the incredible truth that is endowed in these pages. May the Lord bless you richly as you humble yourself and partake of His great blessings.

Kingdom And The Cross
$16.99Add to cartIVP Print On Demand Title
We believe a lot of false narratives about the nature of God, things like “God helps those who help themselves”; “God blesses the righteous”; “God might not be out for your good, and you might be missing something.” But pastor and professor James Bryan Smith points us to the truth of who God is, revealed by Jesus: A God who loves to help the helpless. A God who doesn’t play favorites, whether righteous or unrighteous. A God who is, in his essence, self-sacrificing–even to death–to save a people he loves. In six short chapters, The Kingdom and the Cross zooms in on Christ’s work on the cross and what it all means about who God is and how we’re to live as his people. A soul training exercise is included for each chapter to help the new true narrative take root in our hearts. And a discussion guide at the end makes this complement to The Apprentice Series perfect for groups to work through together, especially during the season of Lent. Understanding Christ’s work on the cross is crucial for any apprentice of Jesus. Here is a resource to help you see–and believe–more fully, that you might live more faithfully in his kingdom.

Seeking Wisdom From God
$33.95Add to cartSeeking Wisdom From God is a must read for anyone who is hungry for the meat of God’s Word. The answers to life’s questions as well as absolute truth are found in the Word of God. However, for the most part, these answers and truths lay beneath the surface of the verses and only when we seek discernment from God will they be revealed. God does not hide His truth to keep His children from finding it, but He did intentionally make deeper levels of understanding accessible only with His help.
Seeking Wisdom from God is about God’s promise to give abundantly to anyone who will seek wisdom through Him. God will reveal understanding that has escaped even the most learned of scholars. According to 1 Cor. 1:28,29, God’s extraordinary way of revealing His truth is through ordinary people.
With our advances in understanding the ancient Hebrew and Greek languages coupled with the dissecting of Scripture using historical, textual, and literary analysis, knowledge has increased exponentially. However, knowledge always increases faster than wisdom, and because of this, we have a glut of biblical knowledge and a shortage of wisdom. We need to know less and understand more.
This book chronicles the results of a heart and mind that learned early in life to go to the heavenly Father for understanding. It is a personal twenty-six-year case study of the faithfulness of God, who will give wisdom to anyone who asks. Seeking wisdom from God early in the author’s Christian walk did not happen because he was wise, but because of circumstances that God orchestrated for his training on how to find truth in His Word. May the different views shared in this book confirm that discernment of spiritual truth can only come from the spiritual.

Dont Call It A Comeback
$17.99Add to cartSome of today’s most influential young evangelicals outline the relevance and theological foundations of Christian orthodoxy and evangelicalism. Recent cultural interest in evangelicalism has led to considerable confusion about what the term actually means. Many young Christians are tempted to discard the label altogether. But evangelicalism is not merely a political movement in decline or a sociological phenomenon on the rise, as it has sometimes been portrayed. It is, in fact, a helpful theological profile that manifests itself in beliefs, ethics, and church life. DeYoung and other key twenty- and thirty-something evangelical Christian leaders present Don’t Call It a Comeback: The Same Evangelical Faith for a New Day to assert the stability, relevance, and necessity of Christian orthodoxy today. This book introduces young, new, and under-discipled Christians to the most essential and basic issues of faith in general and of evangelicalism in particular. Kevin DeYoung and contributors like Russell Moore, Tullian Tchividjian, Darrin Patrick, Justin Taylor, Thabiti Anyabwile, and Tim Challies examine what evangelical Christianity is and does within the broad categories of history, theology, and practice. They demonstrate that evangelicalism is still biblically and historically rooted and remains the same framework for faith that we need today.

Sacred Moment : Becoming Holy Right Where You Are
$17.99Add to cartWhat does it mean to be a holy person? The answer might surprise you. This delightful yet challenging book from spiritual director Albert Haase provides practical wisdom for becoming holy–right in the midst of “ordinary” life. “Any and every situation holds the grace for the transformation called holiness. . . . [By] imitating Christ and emptying myself for the benefit of another,” Haase writes, “I can become holy right where I am.” Haase guides us in this new way of living, offering practices that help us discern what God is calling us to in each moment, as well as clear direction for living in the Spirit, the source of our holiness. With brief, engaging chapters that share real stories of people who are living out holy transformation and short reflection questions, this book is designed to fit realistically into our already full lives. “I believe that holiness is not as elusive or impossible as most of us think,” Haase says. “That’s not to say it’s easy; it certainly is not. But I think there are many people in the world . . . who know that God calls them right where they are. Living in and guided by the Spirit, they imitate Jesus: they selflessly respond to God’s call in this sacred moment for the enrichment of others.” You can too. Here’s how.

Slave The Study Guide (Student/Study Guide)
$14.99Add to cartBest-selling author and pastor Dr. John MacArthur reveals one crucial word that revolutionizes what it means to follow Jesus.
Throughout the Bible, followers of Jesus are commanded to submit to Him as their King. They are told to obey and follow, faithfully and without hesitation. Every time Christians utter the word Lord, they make a subtle yet profound declaration-that God is their Master and that they belong to Him. In fact, the Bible describes believers as His slaves.
They have been bought with a price and now live for Christ as a people for His own possession. But go into most churches today, even flip through most Bible translations, and you won’t see or hear the word slave anywhere. That’s because it has been lost in translation. In this gripping book, Dr. John MacArthur uses deep Bible teaching and historical evaluation to expertly uncover the one forgotten word that restores the Bible’s definition of true Christian freedom.

Fasting : The Ancient Practices
$18.99Add to cartBuilding a body and mind that hungers for God.
Is the practice of faith centered solely on the spirit? Is the body an enemy, or can it actually play a role in our pursuit of God? In this installation of the Ancient Practices Series, Dr. Scot McKnight reconnects the spiritual and the physical through the discipline of fasting.
The act of fasting, he says, should not be focused on results or used as a manipulative tool.

McKnight gives us scriptural accounts of fasting, along with practical wisdom on benefits and pitfalls, when we should fast, and what happens to our bodies as a result.
For those who have wondered how to grasp the value of this most misunderstood ancient
practice, this book is a comprehensive guide.A volume in the eight book classic series, The Ancient Practices, with a foreword by Phyllis Tickle, General Editor.

Sabbath : The Ancient Practices
$19.99Add to cartTo rest does not mean to cease all activity.
Bestselling author Dan Allender presents an insightful and fascinating look at the origins and purpose of Sabbath. Serving as volume three in The Ancient Practices series, Sabbath examines the key issues of this oft-misunderstood day of the week.
This “day of delight” as instituted by God has become a dirge for millions of believers. For many, it is simply a break from the busyness of the work week. So, what keeps us from properly understanding, sanctifying, and celebrating this important day? Allender looks at not only the history of this discipline, going all the way back to ancient Israel, but also at the modern manifestations and misunderstandings of its practice. Allender bases his premise on the Hebrew word for rest, Menuha, which is best translated as “joyous repose, tranquility, or delight.” It is through this lens that he resurrects this lost definition of what it really means to rest.A volume in the eight book classic series, The Ancient Practices, with a foreword by Phyllis Tickle, General Editor.

In Pursuit Of The Miraculous
$13.99Add to cartOne dictionary definition of miracles is that they are ‘remarkable and welcome events that seem impossible to explain’. But can they still happen today? Should we expect them? Jesus certainly encouraged his disciples to anticipate miraculous accompaniments to their proclamation of his good news. In Mark 16:17-18 he emphasizes five signs that ‘will accompany those who believe’ (v17).
So if we accept that miracles do happen today, how might we see more of the miraculous in the twenty-first century? How can they be experienced? Just what kind of faith is needed for them to happen? Are there hindrances that can stop them occurring and if so, what are they?
