Still Woman Moving
$17.99Add to cartA preacher’s daughter who found it difficult to stay in church. A Yankee bred in the simplicity of rural New England who was thrust into the confusing social strata of a midwestern suburb as a pre-teenager and who bumbled her way through adolescence. A “late bloomer” whose sexuality was repressed by a rigid religious surround but released by a transformative rebirth in therapy. A person who experienced the “mother archetype” in all its complexity, until she was able to integrate its power into a nurturing vocation. A “father’s daughter” who found the freedom to break the bond of adoration and move into marriage with a Jewish artist/poet. A woman who traversed the wilderness of the “dark night of the soul” to its nadir point and found the “hidden treasures of darkness” in contemplative silence and solitude. A person who gravitated toward creating and shaping organizations that were expressive of each stage of her changing approach to healthy spirituality, as well as the surrounding culture and times. And therefore a person filled with hopeful joy and optimism because she believes in the possibilities of change throughout life.

Jesus I Never Knew
$19.99Add to cartAn old adage says, “God created man in His own image and man has been returning the favor ever since.” Philip Yancey realized that despite a lifetime attending Sunday school topped off by a Bible college education, he really had no idea who Jesus was. In fact, he found himself further and further removed from the person of Jesus, distracted instead by flannel-graph figures and intellectual inspection. He determined to use his journalistic talents to approach Jesus, in the context of time, within the framework of history.
In The Jesus I Never Knew, Yancey explores the life of Jesus, as he explains, “‘from below,’ to grasp as best I can what it must have been like to observe in person the extraordinary events unfolding in Galilee and Judea” as Jesus traveled and taught. Yancey examines three fundamental questions: who Jesus was, why he came, and what he left behind. Step by step, scene by scene, Yancey probes the culture into which Jesus was born and grew to adulthood; his character and mission; his teachings and miracles; his legacy–not just as history has told it, but as he himself intended it to be.Yancey is not alone in his examination of the “real” Jesus. Publishing today is replete with writers committed to setting the story “straight,quot; joining countless others who, over the past 2,000 years, have determined to discover the truth about Jesus. But where others would deconstruct and discount, Yancey disarms and discloses. We become colleagues with him as he examines the accounts of the life of Jesus. And among the things that we discover is that Jesus himself leaves us few options: either he was who he said he was or he was nuts.
Philip Yancey was awarded the Gold Medallion Christian Book of the Year award for this book in 1996 by the Evangelical Christian Publishers Association. It’s not the first, nor the last, award Yancey has won for his writing. But the writing is not necessarily the great gift of this book. Yancey allows the reader to discover, along with him, The Jesus I Never Knew.

Reformed Is Not Enough
$17.00Add to cartMembership in the Christian faith is objective-it can be photographed and fingerprinted. In baptism, God names us and imposes gracious obligations upon us. Our baptism sets us apart as Christians.
Multitudes of faithless, corrupt Christians show that they do not believe what God said at their baptism. Unfortunately, many Presbyterians don’t believe these biblical promises either. Perhaps they should take some exceptions to the Westminster Confession. Perhaps they should also note the quotation marks in this book’s title.
Let’s look at it another way: Suppose a husband is committing adultery. Is he still a husband? Being a husband is not just a state of mind; it’s not just a private decision. Being a husband is a public relationship made from a public exchange of vows, an objective covenant. An adulterous husband is a covenant-breaking husband, but still a husband. Being a husband is what makes his infidelity so horrendous.

Seeking Something Sacred
$14.95Add to cartBecause we cannot have everything we desire, it is inevitable that we will experience frustration — and what we believe about pain and loss greatly affects our ability to respond constructively to such emotions as anxiety, despair, and rage. Seeking Something Sacred addresses the fragility of human life and our need to be grounded in something beyond ourselves in order to cope with the suffering inherent in our human condition. Drawing on searing personal experiences (disability and the sudden death of his young son), psychologist Joseph Talley demonstrates how the ability to find the sacred offers an antidote to the self-destructive tendencies we all fall into in moments of crisis — and he concludes that the only way to find rest from our tribulations is by trusting in God’s absolute goodness. Seeking Something Sacred isn’t just a fascinating study … it’s uplifting inspirational reading, too!

Anger Is A Choice
$18.99Add to cartAnger is everybody’s problem–but it need not be yours! It becomes a problem when we fail to realize where it comes from or how it shows–or doesn’t show. Either it will control us or we can control it–because anger is a choice. Best-selling authors Tim LaHaye and Bob Phillips tell us what we need to know to control the emotion of anger. They not only examine it from beginning (its origins) to end (its effects), but they help us to evaluate our own “Irritability Quotient” through the Anger Inventory and other exercises throughout this book. In learning how to handle conflicts and anger, we are enabled to heal damaged relationships and help others deal with their anger as well. We can make our lives more peaceful, rewarding, and meaningful. Learning to control anger is the best choice you can make today.

Saint Benedict On The Freeway
$18.99Add to cartHow can we heal the rift between our daily lives and the sacred? How can we live a life capable of hearing “the still small voice” of God while experiencing the speed and sensory overload of modern life? This book is Ware’s answer to these questions. She acknowledges that others have addressed the questions; on the one hand there are books which have significant depth but speak in academic or “in-group” language and provide little help adapting these insights to everyday life. On the other hand, there are practical “how-to” exercises which assist in very particular spiritual experiences but which do not offer integrated, sustainable, life-changing patterns. St. Benedict On The Freeway fills this gap. It “translates into twenty-first century life spiritually formative practices worked out in the past, creatively adapting those disciplines to contemporary daily life.” This adaptation is the heart of Ware’s book. She attempts first to draw attention to our own awareness of God. She discusses how a “Rule” functioned for Benedict’s time, and how it can function for us as a liberating reminder of God instead of another repressive and burdensome taskmaster. Ware also asks how the hours of prayer–vigils, lauds, prime, terce, sext, none, vespers, compline–can increase our spiritual awareness even if our ‘community’ does not stop for prayer at designated times during the day. And, Ware explores prayer in dimensions beyond the spoken word.

Reaching For The Invisible God Study Guide (Student/Study Guide)
$12.99Add to cartIn the book Reaching for the Invisible God Philip Yancey steers clear of trite detours, inviting readers to travel through the most difficult parts of pursuing a relationship with the transcendent God. Making use of his wide experience and a rich well of stories, Yancey considers honestly the predicaments of human existence, that we are distracted with daily routines like work and school, we open up the computer more than we open our Bibles, and we seek success instead of God. We forget God and become guilty of worshipping the impossible while failing to believe in the possible–that the relationship of the grace God extends to us daily. In the Bible we can and will encounter God’s loving and gracious personality. Without cliches, Yancey reminds us that doubt and difficulty, two seeming foes of friendship with God, can actually spur intimacy with him.

Speaking Of Sin
$13.95Add to cartIn Speaking of Sin, Barbara Brown Taylor brings her fresh perspective to a cluster of words that often cause us discomfort and have widely fallen into neglect: sin, damnation, repentance, penance, and salvation. She asks, Why, then, should we speak of sin anymore? The only reason I can think of is because we believe that God means to redeem the world through us.
Abandoning the language of sin will not make sin go away. Human beings will continue to experience alienation, deformation, damnation and death no matter what we call them. Abandoning the language will simply leave us speechless before them, and increase our denial of their presence in our lives. Ironically, it will also weaken the language of grace, since the full impact of forgiveness cannot be felt apart from the full impact of what has been forgiven.
Contrary to the prevailing view, Taylor calls sin a helpful, hopeful word. Naming our sins, she contends, enables us to move from guilt to grace. In recovering this lost language of salvation in our worship and in the fabric of our individual lives, we have an opportunity to take part in the divine work of redemption.

What I Wish Id Known Before I Got Married
$16.99Add to cartBuilding a marriage is a lifelong endeavor for both men and women. Most marriage books cover the three C’s–communication, compromise, and consideration-but fail to address many issues critical to a healthy relationship. Family advocate Kay James calls these the “things I wish I had known before I got married”: advice on finances, sex, children, and dealing with the extended family. Noting that the apostle Paul exhorted older women not to inspire or counsel younger women, but to teach them how to be wives to their husbands, Kay offers a lifetime’s wealth of wisdom for creating an unbreakable marriage relationship.

Gods Plan For You
$21.99Add to cartThough in all things God’s Word is the final authority, our Christian tradition, as inherited from centuries of careful reflection and endeavoring to be true to the teaching of Scripture, can greatly enlighten us. Nowhere is this blend of respectful listening to the wisdom of the past and faithfulness to the Bible more necessary than in our contemporary reformulations of the doctrine of God’s person.
Bruce Ware believes that while tradition’s emphasis on God’s metaphysical perfection and His supremacy over the world is correct, we must refine our understanding of the way in which He relates to us. While retaining the deepest concerns of the historic tradition, Ware offers a more rational view of God’s dealings with His children–a view that is reflected in Scripture’s own testimony of Him. Ware then applies this concept of real divine exaltation and real divine-human relationship to the areas of our prayer life, confidence in God and His guidance of u

Divided By Faith
$22.99Add to cartThrough a nationwide telephone survey of 2,000 people and an additional 200 face-to-face interviews, Michael O. Emerson and Christian Smith probed the grassroots of white evangelical America. They found that despite recent efforts by the movement’s leaders to address the problem of racial discrimination, evangelicals themselves seem to be preserving America’s racial chasm. In fact, most white evangelicals see no systematic discrimination against blacks. But the authors contend that it is not active racism that prevents evangelicals from recognizing ongoing problems in American society. Instead, it is the evangelical movement’s emphasis on individualism, free will, and personal relationships that makes invisible the pervasive injustice that perpetuates racial inequality. Most racial problems, the subjects told the authors, can be solved by the repentance and conversion of the sinful individuals at fault.
the authors throw sharp light on the oldest American dilemma. In the end, they conclude that despite the best intentions of evangelical leaders and some positive trends, real racial reconciliation remains far over the horizon. -

Wasting Time With God
$35.99Add to cartWhen it comes to developing a deep, trusting relationship with God, efficiency and productivity are not the answer. It’s far better to “waste” time with him, to just enjoy being with him. After all, that’s how any friendship grows. But making room for God in the midst of our fast-paced lives is not an easy task. Just as time with our best friends can get squeezed out by the rush of activities, so can time with God. Even “wasting time” with God means making a commitment and setting priorities–whether it’s something we enjoy or not. Beginning with the supposition that God desires friendship with us, Klaus Issler encourages us to consider seven character traits and to develop their companion disciplines: friendship, humility, faith, commitment, communication, apprenticeship and partnership. Here is a full-orbed model of Christian spirituality that will be of lasting value.

Letters Across The Divide (Reprinted)
$15.00Add to cartIn this stirring book, two friends–a black minister and a white businessman–discuss candidly the hang-ups, stereotypes, and sins that inhibit interracial friendships.

The result is a book that provokes thought, arouses emotion, and ultimately spurs actions, stressing that the most effective way of dealing with the many facets of racial reconciliation is through real and connected friendships.
