Now Remain These Three
$17.49Add to cart“I have no idea what my Spiritual Gift is!” “Why am I having such a hard time trying to figure it out?” If you’ve ever asked yourself these questions, you’re not alone. Could it be that the Gifts passed away long ago? No, not just the “Charismatic Gifts.” Perhaps even the Gifts of Teaching and Evangelism are not around any longer, either. What does the Bible say about this? This book makes the case that ALL of the Spiritual Gifts passed away save for some surprising exceptions. And in the process, God gave us something even better. Are you ready to have your traditional views challenged? Are you willing to take a fresh look at what the Bible says about the viability of Spiritual Gifts TODAY?

What Kids Wish Parents Knew About Parenting (Revised)
$15.95Add to cart(When placing your order, please mention that this is a Lightining Source book.)
Best-selling author and family expert Joe White writes a sobering book for this most serious of times. Children are being exposed to dangers outside the home that most parents are unaware of until they accidentally find some shred of evidence-a cigarette butt, a half-smoked joint, or an obscene letter from an unknown lover. Kids are feeling lonely, ugly, unaccepted, and scared. While smiling on the outside, they often feel deserted on the inside-even by their parents.
White’s insights into parenting and what kids really want from their parents will change not only how Christians think about their families but how they treat and raise the priceless jewels God has placed in their care. This is not a feel-good, no brainer book. This is a convicting, how-to book on raising children in homes of faith, love, security, and commitment.

Growing Old In Christ
$34.99Add to cart334 Pages
Additional Info
One of the hallmarks of contemporary culture is its attitude toward aging and the elderly. Youth and productivity are celebrated in today’s society, while the elderly are increasingly marginalized. This not only poses difficulties for old people but is also a loss for the young and middle-agers, who could learn much from the elderly, including what it means to grow old (and die) “in Christ.”“Growing Old in Christ” presents the first serious theological reflection ever on what it means to grow old, particularly in our culture and particularly as a Christian. In a full-orbed discussion of the subject, eighteen first-rate Christian thinkers survey biblical and historical perspectives on aging, look at aging in the modern world, and describe the “Christian practice of growing old.” Along the way they address many timely issues, including the medicalization of aging, the debate over physician-assisted suicide, and the importance of friendships both among the elderly and between the elderly and the young.
Weighty enough to instruct theologians, ethicists, and professional caregivers yet accessible enough for pastors and general readers, this book will benefit anyone seeking faith-based insight into growing old.

Jesus Drives Me Crazy
$12.99Add to cartThis book is a biblical and theological meditation on the meaning of discipleship a discipleship defined not in terms of those who throng Jesus, but of those who throne Jesus. What it means to “throne him” is to let Jesus drive you crazy crazy in the sense that it goes against how normal people see and function in the world. A disciple is someone who is crazy in love with Jesus. Christians don’t do normal. One of the biggest mistakes a Christian can make is to believe that the way they see the world is the way most other people see the world. We see the world differently. We9re abnormal. We’re weird. We’re eccentric. Christians have an off-kilter view of the world. Loving your enemies, turning the other cheek, going the second mile, living without anger, living without lusting, being strong in the broken places_all these things normal people just have a hard time thinking these thoughts and living these ways. There is the “World According to Normal” where most Christians currently live. This book calls Christians to the World According to NUTS . . . where NUTS is an acronym for Never Underestimate the Spirit.

Biblia Que Leyo Jesus – (Spanish)
$14.99Add to cartPhilip Yancey has a way of confronting our most cherished but misguided notions about faith. In The Bible Jesus Read, he challenges the perception that the New Testament is all that matters and the Old Testament isn’t worth taking the time to read and understand. Yancey admits that, like many Christians, he usually avoided the Old Testament. After all, why bother with writings that can be so baffling, boring, even offensive to the modern mind? But a surprising discovery awaited Yancey when he began to explore how the Old Testament related to his life today. Those seemingly irrelevant Hebrew Scriptures took on a startling immediacy, portraying a passionate relationship between God and people against the broad backdrop of human experience. Like nothing else, the Old Testament depicts the cries, the complaints, the deep, insistent questionings of the heart, the stuff of life we all must contend with. With his candid, signature style, Yancey interacts with the Old Testament from the perspective of his own deeply personal journey. From Moses, the amazing prince of Egypt, to the psalmists’ turbulent emotions and the prophets’ oddball rantings, Yancey paints a picture of Israel’s God–and ours–that fills in the blanks of a solely New Testament vision of the Almighty. Probing some carefully selected Old Testament books–Job, Deuteronomy, Psalms, Ecclesiastes, and the Prophets–Yancey reveals how the Old Testament deals in astonishing depth and detail with the issues that trouble us most. The Old Testament in fact tackles what the New Testament often only skirts. But that shouldn’t surprise us. It is, after all, the Bible Jesus read. The Bible Jesus Read will give you abundant new insights into the heart of God the Father. And as you read with a fresh eye the prayers, poems, songs, and bedtime stories that Jesus so revered, you will gain a profound new understanding of Christ. “The more we comprehend the Old Testament,” Yancey writes, “the more we comprehend Jesus.”

Guidelines For Spiritual Discernment
$15.49Add to cartAre you confused about doctrines, signs, wonders, and manifestations because of differing opinions in the body of Christ? Have you felt troubled in certain situations but could not put your finger on the problem? Do you wonder why the body of Christ is so divided? Do you desire to see reformation come to the Church? As the end of the age draws near, the call for the Church to rid herself of unrighteous judgments toward one another and misperceptions of God is becoming obvious. These constitute the greatest stumbling blocks to what God desires to do in and through the Church before Jesus returns. This book is a journey into understanding what true discernment or judgment is and what it is not. “I found myself stopping and asking for forgiveness in the middle of the pages.” -SAM FENCEROY, PASTOR

No More Bullies
$18.99Add to cartIf you’ve ever been there, you’ve never forgotten how it feels. It’s being undersized or oversized or less than beautiful. It’s knowing you are vulnerable and that someone is ready to take advantage of your weakness. It’s the fraternity you never wanted to join-the fellowship of the wounded spirit. And Frank Peretti is a member, too.
In this powerful book, Frank Peretti shares his deeply personal story of growing up different, and the persecution he suffered because of it. And from this reservoir of memories he urges:
*those being abused to speak up and seek help
*those in authority to take notice- and action
*the “strong” kids to stand up and protect the weak- not prey upon them
*all of us to stop thinking of abuse as “normal” or as “kids being kids”This groundbreaking work shows how we all – bullies and victims alike – can find both healing and forgiveness from the anguish and torment associated with the growing epidemic of bullying.

Authentic Faith : What If Life Isnt Meant To Be Perfect But We Are Meant To
$18.99Add to cart“This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith.”–John the Apostle Isn’t it startling how God reveals himself most profoundly in places we least expect to encounter him? He is intent on showing himself Lord in all our circumstances–in the highs and the lows alike. The faith he calls us to is far more than a glowing positivism that shields us from life’s struggles. It is one that guides us into a deepening intimacy with the God who sustains us in the broad sweep of life. Best-selling author Gary Thomas helps us sharpen our spiritual vision and fortify our commitment by examining ten disciplines God uses to forge a fire-tested faith. A biblical view of these disciplines can safeguard us from disillusionment when-not if-difficulties surface in our lives. How we respond will determine the depth and vitality of our walk with God. Sharing scriptural insights, the wisdom of Christians through the centuries, and cogent personal observations, Thomas explores the disciplines of: * Selflessness * Waiting * Suffering * Persecution * Social Mercy * Forgiveness * Mourning * Contentment * Sacrifice * Hope and Fear Drawing liberally from his storehouse of colorful and engaging stories, Thomas brings his topics to life. Find out how a message scrawled on a baseball made a big-league difference to a discouraged young pitcher. Learn how a nineteen-year-old Catholic acolyte, marked by the tragedies of war, grew up to usher in the collapse of Communism in Poland. Read the touching account of feud, reconciliation, and friendship between two of America’s founding fathers. As Gary Thomas reminds us, Jesus said that in this world we will have trouble. Paul exhorted believers to mourn with those who mourn. James wrote that God chooses the poor of this world to be rich in faith. Clearly, faith is about something other than a smooth ride through this fallen world. Rather, authentic faith is shaped, tempered, and purified in the flames of struggle. In a culture sated with blessings and comfort, Authentic Faith reveals the rich benefits that derive from embracing the harder truths of Scripture. This eye-opening look at what it means to be a true disciple of Jesus will encourage you, bolster your faith, and help you rise above shallow attachments to fix your heart on things of eternal worth.

Memorandums From A Loving God
$15.99Add to cartDoes God speak directly to His children? If He does, do His children really want to listen? Are they ready to listen, or are they like the children of Israel who feared His voice? Not only does God talk to His children as a loving Father, but He also looks for and searches out those who are willing to listen and be obedient to His Word. Contained within these pages are some personal messages, recorded over a twelve-year period, that God has spoken to one of his sons-who has chosen to remain anonymous to avoid distracting attention away from the Author and Finisher of our faith. From those messages emerged an insight into the Holy Scripture of how we, the Body of Christ, need to devour God’s Word so we may live it. From an evaluation of these messages and instructions came an observation that the spectrum of Christianity goes from one extreme to another. The first is “intellectualism,” which has led to apostasy. The other extreme is physical immersion in the move of the Holy Spirit, which often lacks a truly in-depth knowledge of the Word of God. We need to understand our existence and purpose in this earthly realm, first as living, active members of the Body of Christ, and then in our current position in heaven as children and heirs of God and joint-heirs with our Lord Jesus. We need to devour the written Word to become the spoken Word. We need to stop seeing ourselves as just believers in the Word. We need to become “existers” in the Word That Became Flesh as living, active, obedient members of that Body, listening and responding to the Head. Contained within these Memorandums from a Loving God and the excerpted Guidelines for Victorious Prayer are clear instructions on how to live victoriously to fulfill God’s promises and the expressions of an infinite, loving Father toward His children.

Jesus Asked : What He Wanted To Know
$17.99Add to cartA look at the questions Jesus asks us – which enrich our understanding and faith In the Gospels, when people asked Jesus a question, he often replied with one of his own: “Good teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?” “Why do you call me good?” British author Conrad Gempf invites readers to look at these questions and discover Jesus’ motivation. What could the second person of the Trinity want to know that he doesn’t already? Gempf concludes that Jesus wants to know where we stand. He doesn’t need to know more facts; he wants to know us.

Courtroom Ministry Of Heaven
$13.49Add to cart“In his book, The Courtroom Ministry of Heaven, Dr. Randy Colver unveils for the reader a view of the heavenlies few have visualized. From the flurry of the celestial courtroom activity to the impact of these judicial pronouncements, the reader is transported to new levels of understanding and insight. Dr. Colver skillfully guides one to a view of heaven not soon forgotten.” -Dr. Charles Travis, President Logos Graduate School “From the pen of a representative of the charismatic tradition, we now have a thoughtful and useful study, which documents how pervasively the Bible uses courtroom and legal notions and activities to elucidate the dealings of God with humanity. The Christian life-particularly prayer and the gift of prophecy-Dr. Barry L. Blackburn Professor of New Testament Atlanta Christian College “I found Dr. Colver’s approach to be very unique and I feel this is a much-needed book on a subject rarely talked about. It was refreshing to focus on heaven and not earth. Dr. Colver has taken the reader on a journey right into the courtroom of heaven, thus inspiring all of us to look forward to the prize that is set before us, the fact that justice will be served based on the mercy and grace of our Lord.” -Pastor Dick Iverson Founder and President Ministers Fellowship International “We have used Dr. Colver’s books both as texts and teaching materials. His attention to detail brings color and sound to the printed page, and his understanding of the Scriptures makes them speak. This book is no exception; the insight it gives into the courtroom procedures of heaven is excellent.” -Dr. Eva B. Evans Cornerstone Bible College “Randy’s intimate and holy walk with God is evidenced in this intriguing and enlightening look into the heavenlies that will keep you spellbound by the insights that God has revealed to him. His unique perspective concerning the operation of the gifts of the Holy Spirit for this present-day church and the difference between petitions and prayer are a must to read. I highly recommend this God-ordained book to any serious believer who has a hunger to know what is going on now, in the greatest of all courtrooms, with the greatest of all attorneys, Jesus Christ.” -Frank Seamster Evangelist and Revivalist

Recovering Biblical Ministry By Women
$28.49Add to cartAccording to a Christianity Today reader survey about gender roles: Seventy-eight percent of respondents think: “Christian leaders need to speak out on proper roles for men and women.” Eighty-eight percent agreed: “There is a lot of confusion about male and female roles in the Christian world today…. The key actors in the evangelical debate have clearly reached an impasse.” (March 2002) This book proposes careful but clear biblical answers to all questions: It is based on the inerrancy of Scripture and rejects the deculturizing hermeneutic. It is not egalitarian. It provides irrefutable exegetical evidence for the husband’s authority in marriage. It affirms family values. It is not radically complementarian. It provides in depth refutation of eighty-five different objections and restrictions to ministry by women in the church. It frees women to serve Christ fully. Dr. John H. Armstrong, President: “Reformation and Revival Ministries, Inc.” “I have found it the most satisfying exposition of the Holy Scriptures on this subject that I have read in thirty years of thought and exegetical work.”

Granted, terror is alive and real on the planet. . .but so are we and the purposes for which we have been placed here. The King of heaven is waiting for women to take their places on the earth. . .we have a job to do.

Footprints In My Rearview Mirror
$17.49Add to cartPeople leave footprints that run through other lives. Sometimes they gradually increase to make a path, which becomes a trail, then a rutted road, a highway, a freeway, and on and on into one’s fading memories. Some of them are but little puffs in the dust or snow, while others are huge craters and ruts in the mud that leave big scars or become great indelible lessons about life as one passes through the world system toward eternity. The people and events mentioned in this book are real and are recorded as accurately as possible. So as not to misrepresent anyone or anything, many unclear parts have been omitted. The Japanese American WWII experience had a heavy impact on the circumstances that shaped the sociological, psychological, and spiritual post-war life of Mr. Oiye. This book is written to illustrate how God chose the author to become a believer and follower of Jesus Christ as his Savior and Lord from the beginning, and how He guarantees that it will not only happen, but He will continue to provide the means to match the circumstance. “Just getting old is a sterile way of life, but growing old gracefully is a God-given gift.”

Journey
$23.99Add to cartDo you desire freedom from religious bondage? Are you frustrated with rules? The Journey is a true story that chronicles an extraordinary search for the existence of God. The story begins with her ancestors from whom she has received blessings and cursings. She discovers that dark, unseen forces have her under surveillance, watching for an opportune time to bring her into temptation and deception. Her carnal nature falls prey to the influence of ungodly temptations, and she is lured into the world of fleeting pleasure and sin. Seeking relief from her dilemma catapults her into a smorgasbord of erroneous religious groups. As she adheres to the rules and rituals of religion, she realizes that keeping rules does not tame the carnal beast within. She exchanges her life of sin for one of self-righteousness, false humility, and counterfeit Christianity. Family casualties become a byproduct of her journey, and they are left behind in the tumultuous aftermath. Who can rescue her? Only One-Jesus Christ! Discovering the truth, her journey takes a sharp turn. She realizes she has not been following God’s true path, but man’s interpretation of it. She undergoes spiritual surgery that removes the false belief systems she had embraced, and she finds the true freedom that Christ proclaimed: “You shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free.”

God And Ceasar
$17.49Add to cartGod and Caesar: The Biblical Keys to Good Government is an examination of the role of good government. In today’s postmordern society, where the emphasis on absolute truth has waned considerably, such an examination is necessary, particularly if the truth of God’s Word is to be preserved and acted upon. Too often evangelical Christians, including pastors, lay church leaders, and para-church ministers, are uninformed about the proper godly role that civil government plays in our lives, and the influence it can and must have in cultural, social, and civic matters. As a result, evangelials tend to view civil government as the enemy. This is simply not true. Dr. King outlines four basic keys to good government. They are: Establish a solid philosophical foundation based upon a Christian worldview of God and man; Form and understanding of the basic principles of the civil government; Identify the primary public policy areas that are at the center of evangelicals’ belief system. Activate community parctices associated with the various policy issues. Each key is intergrated with the others through the concept of self-government. Rewnal of this concept is critical to the continuation of good government at any level.

Miracles And Wonders
$32.00Add to cart208 Pages
Additional Info
At some time or another, nearly everyone needs a miracle. Failing health, financial difficulties, deteriorating relationships all are problems that make people cry out for divine intervention. But while Scripture offers numerous examples of God performing miracles for ancient generations from Moses and the burning bush to the loaves and fishes that fed 5,000 does He still do it in the 21st century? Author Calvin Miller investigates, delving into the Scriptures and drawing on modern testimonials to find the answer. He examines the Bible’s most famous miracles from the Virgin Birth to the Resurrection of Christ, analyzes the discrepancy between science and miracle, and explores such perplexing questions as why God chooses to intervene on some occasions but not on others. By illuminating God’s patterns, Miller reaches a conclusion that offers a tremendous source of faith and inspiration: Yes, God breaks His natural laws to bless mankind with His mercy, compassion, and love. -

Down To Earth Spirituality
$28.99Add to cartIVP Print On Demand Title
Most books on spirituality focus on disciplines like prayer and Bible study. But this can mislead us into thinking that God can only be experienced when we are doing something “spiritual.” Apart from private devotional times or church on Sundays, God may seem distant and even irrelevant to our daily lives. R. Paul Stevens has a radically different view of Christian spirituality. True spirituality, he says, is down-to-earth–we encounter God in the ordinary, common stuff of everyday life. Taking his cue from the biblical story of Jacob, Stevens explores the Genesis narrative and uncovers how ordinary moments are made extraordinary, transformed by the presence of God in the midst of the mundane. Dreamer, schemer, worker and entrepreneur, Jacob embodies a multifaceted life of earthy passion and gritty spirituality. Jacob encounters the sacred not only through visions of ladders to heaven and mysterious wrestling matches with angles. Jacob also meets God at home and at work, at meals and in sleep, in solitude and in relationships. From birth to death, through every passage of life, Jacob sees God in the routine details of his everyday experience. “Everyday life is the spiritual discipline in which God continuously and graciously meets us,” Stevens writes. And in this book, Stevens helps us see that what appears commonplace on the surface actually has great spiritual significance. When we least expect it, God surprises us by re-enchanting our daily experience and making every moment an opportunity to experience his blessing.

Milk For Babes
$17.49Add to cart“Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation, now that you have tasted that the Lord is good.” (1 Peter 2:2-3) “The title and subject matter of this book,” says Anne Murchison, “arose out of my own need for follow-up material for new Christians who have no classes readily available to them.” Anne discovered the lack of a Christian “primer” through her own experiences as a new Christian, and as she attempted to share her faith with non-Christian friends and with classes of new believers put in her care. Consequently she has written this basic, yet thorough study which provides the tools for laying a sure foundation for faith. The author addresses these and other queries so often posed by beginning Christians and curious unbelievers. What is God’s nature-what’s he like? Who is Satan? What about those who never hear of Jesus? The Trinity-how can three be one? What is sin? “Whether you are a nonbeliever or a believer in Jesus Christ,” states Tom Landry in his preface, “the challenge of Christianity brings up questions that need answering. Anne Murchison has used these questions as topics for her study guide. She has allowed the Word of God, the Bible, to answer these questions. . . . “I encourage you to use this book as a study guide for your time in the Bible. The Holy Spirit will reveal to you only what you are able to handle. As you continue to grow and mature as a Christian, God will continue to reveal new truths that will enable you to fully enjoy the ‘peace that passes all understanding.”
