Theres Enough Woman Left To Be Your Lady
$17.99Add to cartUsing biblical characters such as the woman with an issue of blood, Junious Epps Jr. shows how women are bleeding with issues that keep them bent over until they reach out to touch the hem of Jesus’ garment. Life knocks us all off balance, sometimes making it hard to get back on our feet. Hot rays of testing can turn a woman’s mind, home, job, and even church life into a wilderness of relentless turmoil. Having felt disconnected, isolated, and not able to make sense of blatant hypocrisy, women realize that the only answer to their survival is to tread the “wilderness” of rejection, which ultimately strengthens them to totally submit to God’s Spirit. Dr. Epps reminds women that in moments of indecision, God offers them a breakthrough revelation that they need to confront their trials and overcome their obstacles. Only in the wilderness can they discover their true path in life, ministry, fellowship, and anointing. There’s Enough Woman Left to Be Your Lady is a companion for every woman who wants to walk through even the most difficult days side by side with her Lord.

Way Of Blessedness Participants Book (Student/Study Guide)
$12.99Add to cartThe Way of Blessedness invites readers to cultivate the dispositions of the soul as outlined in Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount, which suit us for the reign of God while drawing us into its realm.
Jesus portrays the reign of God in terms that are contrary to social hierarchy — in his time as well as our own. It is a realm of outlandish generosity and uncommon compassion.
This is a 9-week study of the spiritual practices that help us turn away from pride and fill us with God’s abundant love. As we’re transformed by God’s love, we’re able to become people who mourn with and for others and our world, who understand and live out Jesus’ example of meekness, who hunger and thirst for holiness, who humbly offer and receive mercy, whose hearts are pure and able to see the imprint of God in all things, who seek peace, and who hold strong in our faith through adversity.
The Way of Blessedness guides participants along a path that offers clarity to our way of life and the very life of God’s kingdom.
This is the third resource in the Companions in Christ series and is ideal for small group study.

Joseph Daniel Calling
$14.99Add to cartIn the face of political instabilities, economic reversals, fear, and uncertainty, Kingdom opportunities not obvious to the world are quietly on the rise. These Kingdom agendas reflect an interlinking of secular enterprises with overriding ministry objectives. What is emerging is a move of God in the marketplace that will parallel the rise of the parachurch ministry movement of the early fifties. At the forefront of this movement is a group of men and women of God called in the same way as Joseph and Daniel of the Bible. Modern-day Josephs and Daniels will serve strategically as instruments of God’s purpose in secular positions of influence within seats of power of this world. This book addresses the dynamics of this calling, God’s economy, and the preparation, character, and challenges of these uniquely called Josephs and Daniels. Among other agendas, they will be facilitators of the release of the wealth of the wicked into Kingdom initiatives.

Teaching The Art Of Cosmetics
$14.99Add to cartThis is not just a how-to book to change the outside appearance but also to help change the inside. In everything we do, we should in some way correlate God’s Word. He needs to be everything in life before life can be everything it can be. I have found that even women who confess to have a relationship with God are still trying to impress the people of the world with the way they look on the outside but forget about changing the inside. Looking your best is important but not the most important. When we fix our eyes on Jesus first, the transformation both inside and outside will be remarkable. This is a book on training in skin care and makeup but more importantly on how to keep the training of God’s Word in all we do.

Ideal for individual as well as group study, God’s Vision, Our Calling includes reflection questions at the end of each chapter and the added feature of a pronunciation guide for Hebrew and Greek words. This concise and accessibly written book earnestly challenges us all to recapture God’s vision for the world, the church, and ourselves.

Walking In Humility
$16.49Add to cartWalking in Humility challenges the believer to follow Christ through walking in submissive obedience to God. All of us must follow the way of Christ “who humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross” (Philippians 2:8). With many penetrating discussions of Scripture, illustrations, and quotes, Mike discusses what humility means, and then shows how we can live as God requires (Micah 6:8). “The presentation of humility as it relates to the core Christian truths was both stimulating and challenging…. Mike has a very discipleship-oriented approach to living the Christian life. He didn’t make it sound easy but surely worth the effort.” -Author Ron Bennett, National Leadership Team, The Navigators Church Discipleship Ministry “The insight and hands-on advice included in Mike Vincent’s Walking in Humility provide a guide for individuals who eagerly desire to live as Spirit-filled believers who have determined that life is not about them.” -Pastor Dan Brenton, Fellowship Bible Church, Roswell, Georgia (from the Foreword) “Though we often discuss the ideal of humility, we rarely practice it. Jesus lived it…. Mike Vincent shows how we can allow Christ to live His life through us as we yield authority to His will.” -Stephen Doggett, Associate Executive Director, Evangelical Free Church Mission “Walking in Humility by Mike Vincent wonderfully captures the simplicity and challenge of walking humbly with Christ…. It is extremely practical and I would recommend it to anyone who desires to walk with and experience Christ.” -Joe Bucha, Human Resource Associate, Southeast Region, Campus Crusade for Christ

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.

Shepherds Song : Finding The Heart To Go On
$16.95Add to cart(When placing your order, please mention that this is a Lightining Source book.)
Your life is going well-you are winning the battles of faith and enjoying your relationships with people and with God. Suddenly, you stumble. Things go wrong-you lose your job; your marriage crumbles; or a loved one dies. Through prayer and perseverance, you recover and regain your strength; but disaster strikes again-unexpected temptation shakes your faith-and you find yourself searching for answers.
Suddenly, you hear a friendly, calm voice singing a song of strength and renewal. A handsome man from the past appears; he extends a hand of hope and lifts you to your feet. He introduces himself as David, the shepherd. He begins to sing a beautiful song-the song of his life, his struggles and victories-and the melody of his life amazingly resembles your own.
“We’re not much different, you and I. Your victories…failures…surprises…and disappointments-I know them all. Come, and I will share the secrets of finding the heart to go on.”
Accept his invitation and discover how the most thrilling and adventurous life in Scripture holds valuable meaning for your own life of faith. Anderson’s extensive research and travels throughout the Holy Lands eminently qualify him to lead you on this journey of faith. At times, you will visualize David’s adventures so clearly you will feel as though you are there. Other times, your view of the shepherd turned king will be eclipsed by the reflection of yourself. But at all times, you will hear the song-the shepherd’s song-and it will give hope and meaning to your own life’s song.

Then God Created In Laws
$13.49Add to cartBob and his wife Kay have celebrated fifty years of marriage, and are blessed with five children, twelve grandchildren, and a great-granddaughter. The chapters in this book reflect many of the experiences and interpersonal relationships with in-laws during these fifty years. Both families had Christians and non-Christians, difficulties, misunderstandings, parents that needed to be cared for in old age, differences in family child-rearing practices, and brother and sister-in-law problems, along with the pressures of trying to maintain a Christian testimony through it all. Since their marriage, Bob and Kay have been active in church. Bob has been teaching in Sunday school, children’s church, and a Bible institute. His experience includes serving as a deacon and being involved in many ministries of the church. A particular concern of his has been encouraging young couples in their Christian growth. Bob is a graduate of the United States Merchant Marine Academy at Kings Point, Long Island, New York, where he majored in marine mechanical engineering. After serving as a marine engineer aboard several ships and traveling to many countries, he was involved in engineering of steam production systems. In 1983 he formed the Robert L. Bruce Company as an engineering consulting firm. The impetus for this book began several years ago as a request for Bob to speak at a grandparent day where his grandchildren attended. Since that beginning, he has interviewed and conducted surveys with in-laws of all ages, defining the concerns that needed to be addressed. Teaching and counseling young couples confirmed the need for scriptural instruction beginning before the marriage right through the latter days of grandparenting. Bob has reviewed the basics of this book with capable Christian people from many walks of life for their comments and input to help make it scripturally applicable to a broad spectrum of Christians.

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.

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.

Your Inheritance : The Kingdom Of God
$15.49Add to cartMy goal in writing this little book is to help us get to know God our Father better and open our eyes to the blessings He has given us so we will live as His heirs of the kingdom that is and is to come. The Holy Spirit quickens the Word of God to us so we can know God and apply His blessings and His Word in our lives.

We’ve been friends for many years and I’m impressed with your strong desire to encourage others to go deeper and deeper in Christ. I love the way in which you bring the Jewishness of the Messiah to light in a manner we do not see enough of today. It is in knowing the Jewish scriptures and customs that we will come to understand the ministry and teachings of Jesus, the Messiah! You certainly have accomplished this in your wonderful book.

According to Tim LaHaye and David Noebel, life is mainly about the battle for your mind: whether you will live by man’s wisdom, from the likes of Marx, Darwin, Freud, and Nietzsche, or God’s wisdom and those who shared it, such as Moses, the prophets, Christ, and the apostles. Your choice will affect the way you live now and ultimately where you will spend eternity.

My Journey To Paradise
$27.49Add to cartThis is the first-hand story of a Cambodian boy who found himself caught in the crossfire of civil war and then under the cruel oppression of the Khmer Rouge Communist regime. Enduring what is described in this book should have made him an emotional cripple. But God had other plans. He survived the Khmer Rouge holocaust, and when presented with an opportunity to go to America, he did so. He then took advantage of America’s educational opportunities and studied to become a dentist. After becoming a Christian, the hatred and bitterness he felt toward those who destroyed many of his relatives and friends turned to forgiveness. Where once he lived for revenge, he now lives to bring healing to others and to share the love of God. This book tells about what happens when men live without God. It also shows the providence of God in saving someone in great danger. It shows the power of the Gospel to change hate into love. It shows how the freedoms and opportunities available in America can equip a person to become a constructive citizen if he works hard to make his dreams a reality. This is a book of hope!

Courtroom Ministry Of Heaven

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.”

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.”

Think It Not Strange
$13.49Add to cartChronic pain interferes with hopes, dreams, plans and goals. It meddles with the mind and can be a real heart breaker. For the Christian, however, long-term pain can bring meaning and reveal purposes that would otherwise go unnoticed. Coping with chronic pain is a challenge, but certainly not impossible. There is hope. For twelve years this author has suffered with the remnants of eight spinal operations and a degenerative condition that daily deposits pain into her life’s account. Suffering ones eagerly anticipate the Lord’s return, when He will grant new bodies and bring His own children to a place where there is no more death, sorrow, crying, or pain (Revelation 21:4). Until then, though, we are responsible to live by His Word and worship Him in Spirit and in truth. Like some medications, though, the truth is difficult to swallow sometimes. That is why we must live our lives (painful or not) in Christ, relying on Him to see us through each moment of the day, in peace. Pain’s invasion does not have to rob us of inner joy. We can even make peace with the pain and survive its torment graciously. The Lord will help us! “But as for me, I would seek God, and to God I would commit my cause, who does great things, and unsearchable, marvelous things without number” (Job 5:8-9).

Like Fire Shut Up In My Bones
$15.99Add to cartLike Fire Shut Up in My Bones is an expose on how the truths found in the Holy Bible are confirmed in the life of a man, with David as its subject. David, throughout much of his life, struggles with the lust of his flesh and the strongholds of substance abuse. Yet, he retains a fiery desire for God and a hunger for His Word. From childhood, he wanted to profess Christ from the rooftops, but found opposition within the pleasure centers of his flesh. God eventually leads David to greater truth and strength in Christ. He surrenders his will over to God, rendering the past strongholds powerless. David becomes fully persuaded that he is no longer his own, but is bought with a price.

Maximizing Your Influence For Christ
$16.99Add to cartJesus came to serve, not to be served. But He also came to lead people out of darkness into lives of great godly influence in their homes, churches, schools, jobs, and communities. He has planted each of us where we can have the greatest impact upon others around us. There are books on the market about servanthood or leadership, but rarely are the two put together in one text. These have been connected in a practical and teachable fashion to help leaders and believers to know how to function as servants and leaders and greatly influence others wherever the Lord has placed them. Servant leadership principles are intended for all believers to live out in their daily lives and ministries, wherever that may be. You can and will impact and influence your world through these dynamic principles that Jesus taught. We are to be servant leaders at home, on the job, at school, at work, in church, in our communities and nations, and everywhere we go. Therefore, this book will teach leaders and believers the New Testament principles of serving and leading like Jesus so as to impact and influence people like Jesus also. Having lived in Eastern Europe during the height of communism, and being a part of the spiritual transformation now taking place there, the author lays out the biblical basis for transforming communities and nations through servant leadership.

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.

What does it mean to be a good steward of God’s grace?
Is God more concerned about my happiness or my holiness?
When God brings freedom, healing, and peace, what’s supposed to happen next?
If God’s love is so compelling, what does it compel me to believe, do, and become?As believers, we are sometimes more interested in a masseuse rather than a Master. Smith dares to remind us that God’s love is a s disruptive as it is delightful, as demanding as it is delicious!

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. -

How Much Is Enough (Reprinted)
$18.00Add to cartIn a world filled with both prosperity and poverty, how can Christians handle their finances in a way that honors God? In How Much Is Enough?, Arthur Simon takes an uncompromising look at America’s wealth, reflecting what dominates the hearts and motivations of its people. He diagnoses Western civilization as sick with “affluenza,” or runaway materialism, and shows readers how to reject the disease and set new priorities. Churches, social ministry groups, and thoughtful readers will be enlightened by Simon’s grasp of Western affluence against the backdrop of a world where 800 million people are chronically starving. Readers will gain a clearer understanding of how money becomes an object of worship when passion for material things is stronger than compassion for the poor. Simon’s life-changing book also reveals how affluenza takes control of people’s lives and goals. Without discounting prosperity as a blessing, This book proposes new pathways to living as disciples of Jesus. It suggests a myriad of solutions for taming materialism and sheds light on the profound reality that possessions may capture our hearts, but they are unable to nourish our souls.
