Are You Ready To Find Joy In Your Messy Life
$15.99A Carole Leathem Title
When Carole Leathem’s husband, Bill, first began his battle with anxiety, depression, and suicidal thoughts, she had no idea years of rejection and identity issues would come to a head. After all, when you’re the wife of a senior pastor, there are certain expectations that come with it. Imperfection and mental illness are not among them. Managing depression in marriage and setting relationship boundaries brought pain, uncertainty, and rejection, which were nearly unbearable. Whenever Carole surrendered to God, he showed up time and time again.
As Carole searched for practical help, she shares, “My husband’s mental health was the most important issue. I read every Mental Health book for adults, Depression books for adults, relationship books for women, especially, any marketed as religion books, I could find.” She discovered very few books addressing depression and anxiety in men. She found the words anxiety; Christian were two words mental health books or anxiety and depression books failed to address.
Through beautiful storytelling and raw transparency, Carole chronicles her journey of overcoming the abuse, addiction, and chaos that had plagued her family for generations. She also shares the new adventure of caring for a spouse who struggles with mental illness. Full of heartache, hope, and new beginnings, Are You Ready to Find Joy in Your Messy Life, shows how she learned to experience joy no matter the circumstances. Carole’s story testifies God is a personal God, who loves our imperfect selves perfectly and without conditions and sees our trials as gifts. Life may be messy, but as Carole reveals, the joy of Christ can still reign.

Question That Never Goes Away
$18.99Finding Meaning in the Midst of Suffering
In his classic book Where Is God When It Hurts, Philip Yancey gave us permission to doubt, reasons not to abandon faith, and practical ways to reach out to hurting people.And now, thirty years after writing his first book, Yancey revisits our cry of “Why, God” in three places stunned into silence by the calamities that have devastated them. At some point all of us will face the challenges to faith Yancey writes about and look for the comfort and hope he describes.
There are reasons to ask, once again, the question that never goes away: Where is God when we suffer? And Yancey, once again, leads us to find faith when it is most severely put to the test.

Failure : What Jesus Said About Sin Mistakes And Mucking Stuff Up The Archb
$17.99In 2019, Emma Ineson wrote about ambition and what it means for Christians to be successful. And then there was a global pandemic . . . Suddenly failure began to feel very much more familiar than success.
But what is failure? What did Jesus think of it? What did he say about sin, mistakes and generally mucking things up? At the start of this wonderfully humorous and encouraging book which will end at the cross it’s suggested that our tendency to lump all kinds of failure together could be a bit unhelpful. A more nuanced understanding of what sort of failure we’re dealing with might just allow us to make friends with it and respond more appropriately. This idea leads us Towards an (Imperfect) Theology of Failure’, based on key Christian thinking, and Emma poses the question of whether sin is an individual or corporate thing. Looking at the church, we consider, what is God’s purpose for it? And in the light of key concerns such as safeguarding and racial justice, how might we re-examine concepts of success and recognize and measure failure?
As the book draws to an end, we are reminded of our calling to live life to the full, to take risks despite our fears. We are bound sometimes to fail! Yet gazing at Jesus who looked like the greatest failure of all we may discern in the heartache, vulnerability and humility of failure, the glory of the cross.

Pray First : The Transformative Power Of A Life Built On Prayer
$19.99Prayer is the lifeblood of the Christian faith–but many followers of Jesus still struggle to make prayer part of their daily lives. In Pray First, bestselling author and pastor Chris Hodges shows readers how to make prayer a first response, rather than a last resort.
Why is it that so many Christians find it difficult to develop a vibrant and exciting prayer life? Even though prayer is foundational to the Christian life, many are intimidated or uncertain about how to talk to God. Prayer feels quaint and old-fashioned to some, sacred and uncomfortable to others. It’s not a lack of inspiration–there’s plenty of that. And it’s not that Christians don’t realize prayer is important–they know it is. So what’s the issue?
Pastor Chris Hodges has spent years studying the prayers of the Bible and the models of prayer that the scriptures provide for Christians. Now, he shares with readers the teachings and methods he’s used to successfully help hundreds of thousands of people understand how to spend time in conversation with God–and enjoy every minute. Pray First will help readers:
*gain the understanding and tools to make prayer work–and bring the joy back into their time with God;
*take a journey through the prayers of the Bible, which reveal how to make prayer more personal and powerful;
*learn about fasting, an often overlooked but powerful discipline that’s a vital companion to prayer; and
*follow proven, biblically grounded methods for making prayer a priority, not an afterthought.
Written in the personable, relatable, and always biblically based style that has become Hodges’s hallmark, Pray First is a revolutionary how-to manual for all Christians who want to experience a dynamic, intimate prayer life with God.

Praying The Names Of God For 52 Weeks
$19.99Based on Praying the Names of God and Praying the Names of Jesus, two bestselling books by Ann Spangler, this unique Bible study is designed to help individuals explore the most prominent names God chooses for Himself and how each name can be used in focused, intentional prayer as God reveals His character and heart throughout the Bible.
Names in the ancient world did more than simply distinguish one person from another. They often conveyed the essential nature and character of a person. This is especially true when it comes to the names of God recorded in the Old Testament: El Shaddai, Elohim, Adonai, Abba, El Elyon, God Almighty, Mighty Creator, Lord, Father, God Most High, and more. In the New Testament, God is called Immanuel, Prince of Peace, Lamb of God, Bread of Life, Yeshua, and more. Through His names and titles, we come to understand more fully how God reveals His heart to us.
Praying the Names of God for 52 Weeks teaches you how to use one name each week of the year to pray to God in an intentional and focused way.
Each name or title is broken down into three sections each week:
*Monday: Study a portion of Scripture that reveals the name.
*Tuesday-Thursday: Understand and connect to the name through questions and reflections. Pray the name in Scripture and pray the name for yourself.
*Friday: Pray Scripture promises connected to the name. Optional Deeper Study.
Ultimately, you’ll gain a more intimate understanding of who God is and how He can be relied upon in every circumstance of your life, enabling you to echo the psalmist’s prayer: Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the Lord our God.

Year Of Slowing Down
$24.99With the overwhelming pace of life, many of us struggle to stop long enough to be present. Our long to-do lists and full calendars leave little breathing room to hear from God. We know we need to slow down but we don’t even know how to begin.
Alan Fadling has spent years coaching leaders and communities on how to live an unhurried life, teaching that productivity and success are not our chief end, but rather living at the pace that our true self longs to live. Designed to help you center your day around God’s loving presence, A Year of Slowing Down offers six devotionals for each week of the year. Each day begins with a Scripture passage followed by a short reading and a reflection question.
This book is an invitation to slow down and be present to the movement of God in your everyday life. Will you accept God’s call to welcome a year of slowing down?

Case For The Christian Family
$18.68In the United States, the family is all but dissolved. Marriage is no longer marriage, and legally, the state could take away your children any time they wanted to. Pastor and Author Jared Longshore argues that the church’s neglect of covenantal living has led us to this pass in American society.
While invisible, saving faith in Jesus is the only way to eternal life, modern Americans have neglected the grace that God gives by binding families and churches to Him and to one another.
This means that families, the church, and nations should take responsibility for their people, and not treat them as so many marbles in a box. God has intimately connected us to one another in these bonds, the central bond being covenant.
We must retrieve this doctrine and live faithfully by it if we want to see reform in America.

Learning Humility : A Year Of Searching For A Vanishing Virtue
$19.99In a society where raging narcissism dominates the moral landscape, the virtue of humility is often dismissed as irrelevant.
Not only is humility vanishing from contemporary culture, but we are also witnessing how destructive a lack of humility has become among our churches and ministry leaders. And yet, Richard Foster, the founder of Renovare, insists that humility is central to the journey toward character formation and spiritual transformation. For this reason he decided to spend a year studying the virtue of humility.
Using the Lakota calendar as a framework, Foster provides us with a look into the insights he gathered from sources ranging from Native American culture to Julian of Norwich to Scripture to personal friends. By engaging with both the spiritual classics and Foster’s own experiences, Learning Humility provides profound insight into what humility can look like in our current cultural climate.
Join Richard Foster on the journey toward a life of humility, which he says leads us into “freedom, joy, and holy hilarity.”

Covenant Household
$18.68Families are formed by covenants. But what is a covenant, and what does that mean for your family?
Throughout Scripture, God makes covenants with His people. This is not just a contract, but a personal bond in which God takes responsibility for His people, and His people respond to him in faith. This is true of our relationship with God, and it is true in the case of lesser covenants, such as the covenant family.
In this short book, Pastor Douglas Wilson shows how the family should live in the light of what the Bible says about the covenant. The husband is the head of the household, and this means that the problems of the family members are not their problems but his problems. The husband cannot just dismiss his wife’s problems as something she needs to work through by herself, and the father cannot complain when his kids get into trouble. They are his people.
This book covers everything from marriage to childrearing to cultural engagement. The family is not just a collection of individuals: it is a unit joined together by God, and we should live as though that were true, because it is.

Strong And Weak
$18.99Flourishing people are strong and weak.
Two common temptations lure us away from abundant living: withdrawing into safety and grasping for power. True flourishing, says Andy Crouch, travels down an unexpected path–being both strong and weak.
We see this unlikely mixture in the best leaders–people who use their authority for the benefit of others while also showing extraordinary willingness to face and embrace suffering. We see it in Jesus, who wielded tremendous power yet also exposed himself to hunger, ridicule, torture and death. Rather than being opposites, strength and weakness are actually meant to be combined in every human life and community.
With the characteristic insight, memorable stories and hopeful realism he is known for, Andy Crouch shows us how to walk this path so that the image of God can shine through us. Not just for our own good, but for the sake of others.
With a new preface by the author, Strong and Weak is now part of the IVP Signature Collection, which features special editions of iconic books in celebration of the seventy-fifth anniversary of InterVarsity Press. A new companion Bible study is also available.

Tal vez la emocion de los jugadores sea similar a la de los aficionados, pero la gran diferencia es que los jugadores tienen la responsabilidad del resultado que logre su equipo. No es lo mismo ser espectador que participar en el juego, verdad?
Nadie puede ser espectador de su propia vida. Lo quiera o no, cada ser humano es el “jugador oficial” de su vida, y es responsable de dar el puntapie inicial a asuntos que son mucho mas trascendentes que la practica de un deporte. De igual modo, existe un puntapie inicialpara una vida apasionante con Cristo.
En este libro se ensean temas esenciales y practicos que sirven de puntapie inicial para el crecimiento y desarrollo de la vida de Cristo en el creyente.
En Puntapie inicial descubriras el comienzo del juego mas importante de tu vida.
Kickoff
There is always a great expectation among sports fans when they go to see a game. The stadium vibrates with the emotion of the spectators, passionate about seeing their favorite team. At kickoff they scream, jump and clap, cheering on their team. They will often get angry, hurl insults and even cry when they see things are not going as they’d hoped. But this is all the spectators can do during the game.
It’s possible that the players’ emotions are similar to those of the fans, but the big difference is that the players are responsible for the results their team achieves. Being a spectator is not the same as participating in the game, right?
No one can be a spectator of his own life. Whether he wants to or not, every human being is the “official player” of his own life and is responsible for kicking off in matters that are much more important than playing a sport. In the same way, there is a kickoff for a passionate life with Christ.
This book teaches essential topics and practices that serve as a kickoff for the growth and development of the life of Christ in the believer.
In Kickoff you will discover the beginning of the most important game of your life.

Jesus V Evangelicals
$19.99American evangelicalism is at a crisis point.
The naked grasping at political power at the expense of moral credibility has revealed a movement in disarray. Evangelicals are now faced with a quandary: will they double-down and continue along this perilous path, or will they stop, reflect, and change course? And while support of Donald Trump has produced the tipping point of the evangelical crisis, it is not by any means its only problem.
Evangelicals claim the Bible as the supreme authority in matters of faith. But in reality, it is particular readings of the Bible that govern evangelical faith. Some evangelical readings of the Bible can be highly selective. They distort the Bible’s teaching in crucial ways and often lead evangelicals to misguided attempts to relate to the world around them. Many Christians who once self-professed as evangelicals can no longer use the term of themselves because of what it has come to represent–power-mongering, divisiveness, judgementalism, hypocrisy, pride, greed. Some leave not just evangelicalism but Christianity for good.
Jesus v. Evangelicals is an insider’s critique of the evangelical movement according to its own rules. Since evangelicals regard themselves governed by the Bible, biblical scholar Constantine Campbell engages the Bible to critique evangelicals and to call out the problems within the contemporary evangelical movement. By revealing evangelical distortions of the Bible, this book seeks to restore the dignity of the Christian faith and to renew public interest in Jesus, while calling evangelicals back to his teaching. Constantine Campbell appeals to evangelicals to break free from the grid that has distorted their understanding of the Bible and to restore public respect for Christianity in spite of its misrepresentations by the evangelical church.

Word Before Work
$16.00A weekday devotional to help Christians connect the gospel to their vocation and appreciate the eternal significance of their work–no matter what it is–from the entrepreneur, thought leader, and bestselling author of Redeeming Your Time.
We often treat the sixth day as the end of the creation account. But day six is just the beginning! It’s when God passed the baton to us and in essence said, “Go work and create like me.”
Too often Christians are led to believe that only pastors and full-time missionaries are doing work that is eternally significant. But Christians who work outside of vocational ministry roles–be they entrepreneurs, baristas, or stay-at-home parents–are looking for affirmation that their work is eternally impactful as well. Having researched more than 1,000 passages of scripture for its wisdom on vocation, Jordan Raynor provides 260 readings–one for each workday of the year–that offer Christians in any occupation biblical insights into what work means, why it matters, and how they should be working.
Guiding readers through selections in Old and New Testaments, The Word Before Work shows us that, no matter our calling, the work we do is central to God’s plans to restore fallen creation. Readers will not only gain daily inspiration to do work for the glory of God and the good of others, but will come away confident that our work has significance both for now and for eternity.

Cabeza Y No Cola – (Spanish)

The head and not the tail
Know the promises of the Father or take them? To be only the people of God or to be, in addition, the army of God? Hear God’s voice or listen and obey God’s voice?

Mas Alla Del Liderazgo – (Spanish)
$13.73Liderazgo es una palabra que nunca parece estar fuera de moda. Resuena en la mayoria de los ambitos de la sociedad, y no es para menos si se piensa que cualquier emprendimiento depende de la calidad y el buen desempeo de quienes lo lideran. Por esta razon existen tantas herramientas que estan a disposicion de quien desea progresar para llegar a ser un lider exitoso.
Posiblemente tu seas un lider en ejercicio, te estes entrenando para ocupar un lugar de liderazgo, o tal vez reconozcas que tienes el potencial para ser un excelente lider. Sea cual fuere tu caso, debes hacerte algunas preguntas: la meta mas elevada es llegar a ser un excelente lider?, habra alguna meta superior que este mas alla del liderazgo?
En este libro aprenderas que:
*El concepto de liderazgo practicado en la actualidad es un engao que conduce a alimentar el egoismo y la ambicion personal.
*La funcion de dirigir no tiene como finalidad servirse a uno mismo, sino servir a otros.
*Existe una meta mas alta que llegar a ser un lider, porque la intencion original de Dios con el ser humano va mas alla del liderazgo.
Mientras lees, respondes y trabajas en Mas alla del liderazgo, comprenderas una realidad que te sorprendera, porque tu destino es ser mucho mas que un lider. Descubrelo por ti mismo.
Beyond leadership
Leadership is a word that never seems to be out of style. It resonates in most areas of society, and it is no wonder if you think that any undertaking depends on the quality and good performance of those who lead it. For this reason, there are so many tools available to anyone who wants to progress to become a successful leader.
You may be a practicing leader, training for a leadership role, or you may recognize that you have the potential to be an excellent leader. Whatever your case, you should ask yourself some questions: Is the highest goal to become an excellent leader? Is there a higher goal that is beyond leadership?
In this book you will learn that:
*The concept of leadership practiced today is a deception that leads to nurturing selfishness and personal ambition.
*The function of leading is not intended to serve oneself, but to serve others.
*There is a higher goal than becoming a leader, because God’s original intention with man goes beyond leadership.
As you read, respond and work on Beyond Leadership, you will understand a reality that will surprise you, because your destiny is to be much more than a leader. Find out for yourself.

ButGod : The Power Of Hope When Catastrophe Crashes In
$19.99Pastor Jeremy Freeman shares the miraculous story of his son’s 10 percent chance of survival after a devastating car accident, the darkness that nearly overtook their family, and the #butGod movement that captured the prayers of believers and brought hope and healing.
Sir, your sons have been in a car accident. How quickly can you get here?
From the phone call no parent wants to receive to the frantic drive toward the flashing lights at the side of the highway, then the ER, the neuro ICU, and the rehab hospital to persevering through seemingly impossible odds, #butGod is the raw remembrance from pastor, husband, and father Jeremy Freeman of the events that nearly left his family undone and the stunning hope and astonishing healing they experienced instead. The story is also an explicit invitation to risk it all for the spiritual satisfaction that outlasts even the most coveted earthly gains.
Caleb’s story proves that through tragedy it is possible to create waves that ultimately change the world. Doctors gave him very little chance of survival, but Jeremy and his wife, Emily, turned to God in prayer, encouraging other believers to join them through interviews by local news stations and online messages. Jeremy witnessed God move others to pray and saw God begin to miraculously heal Caleb. As a father, he learned to let go of his dreams for his family so that he could grasp God’s higher goals instead.
Nearly four years later, Caleb is able to walk and talk, and he is passionate about sharing Jesus with others and he swears he wouldn’t change a thing. Jeremy transparently discloses how God turned their tragedy into a powerful testimony of hope and faith that is shared through the emergence of the #butGod movement.
Readers will:
*see that they’re not alone in their struggle to cope with tragedy and grief.
*receive biblical wisdom for holding onto faith while in the midst of trauma.
*experience Caleb’s miraculous healing journey after a traumatic brain injury and his inspiring spiritual walk that has brought the gospel of Jesus Christ to so many.
*understand the challenges Jeremy and his wife faced in their marriage and the ways they sought God to work through tension and doubts.
*highlight how God can take a tragedy and turn it into a triumph.

Every Bodys Story
$19.99Every story entails a way of life and how every way of life implies a big story.
In Every Body’s Story, Branson Parler focuses on three predominant myths of sexuality in our secular age–individualism, romance, and materialism–and three dominant myths in Christian circles–anti-body theology, legalism, and the sexual prosperity gospel–exploring how those stories shape our practice. Our views of sexuality and our practices around sex are never just about sex. How we use and view our bodies reveals who/what we think God is (or is not) and who we are.
If we truly understand the biblical logic of marriage, sexuality, and singleness–that they are meant to embody the gospel–then we will better understand why this witness is so vital. As God’s self-giving faithfulness is put on display by both married and single Christians, those formed by our secular age will have to ask: What if it’s true? What if there’s more? What if God really does love us that much? Rather than viewing our sexuality as an isolated matter of ethics, we can see how the gospel places our sexuality in the context of God’s rescue mission of the world.

Embracing Rhythms Of Work And Rest
$26.99In our frenzied culture, the possibility of living in balanced rhythms of work and rest often feels elusive. This rings especially true for pastors and leaders who carry the weight of nonstop responsibility. Most know they need rest but might be surprised to find within themselves a deep resistance to letting go and resting in God one day a week, let alone for longer seasons of sabbatical.
The journey to a meaningful sabbath practice is slow and gradual, and it is a journey we need to take in community. Sharing her own story of practicing sabbath for the past twenty years, Ruth Haley Barton offers hard-won wisdom regarding the rhythms of sabbath, exploring both weekly sabbath keeping as well as extended periods of sabbatical time.
Embracing Rhythms of Work and Rest grounds us in God’s intentions in giving us the gift of sabbath, providing practical steps for embedding sabbath rhythms in churches and organizations. Each chapter concludes with What Your Soul Wants to Say to God, an opportunity to reflect and engage God around your own journey with the material. Sabbath is more than a practice–it is a way of life ordered around God’s invitation to regular rhythms of work, rest, and replenishment that will sustain us for the long haul of life in leadership.
Includes a conversation guide for small groups and communities.

Diving into biblical stories and truth, she gives you the spiritual and practical tools to see those walls come crashing down, rediscover a vibrant life of joy and move forward from weary survival to daily revival through Jesus.

Let There Be Art
$17.99Perhaps in no other way do we more vibrantly reflect our creator than with our creativity. Whether through music, writing, baking, painting, posting on social media, dancing, or any other form of artistic expression within our grasp, we were created to create. Yet, there are times we may be unsure about our art, times when our creating and making doesn’t feel possible or purposeful or practical.
Rachel Marie Kang wants you to know that your art is not peripheral to life–it is at the very heart of why you exist and what you have to offer to yourself and to the world. In Let There Be Art, she gives you permission to embrace the peace, pleasure, and purpose inherent in your art and in the process of making it. This passionate, creative, and cathartic journey invites you to create truthfully out of the broken and beautiful pieces of your life, as well as offer your heart and your art in hopes of helping a hurting world.

Prayer Starters : Talking With God About Hard Times
$14.99This is not a book on how to pray. There are many great books on that topic. Instead, Prayer Starters is a creative, interactive invitation to help you pray right where you are. If you ask a woman if she wants to pray, the answer is almost always yes. If you ask that same believer if she ever struggles to pray, not surprisingly the answer is the same. So, Suzanne Eller has provided the lead-in to 90 conversations with God about the difficult season you’re in, whether in your prayer time or in the middle of the night when there are no words to be found.
A topical index and space for readers to write in your own words will help you replace the fear of not knowing what to say with the power of simply showing up, trade a list of rules for taking one small step, and stop comparing your prayer life to others’ as you discover the beauty of your own.
It’s not the longevity of your faith that determines your struggle. It’s the clash between your longing to connect and all the things that seem to stand between you and prayer. Allow this book to draw you into daily, intimate conversations with a God who loves you like crazy.

Beyond Welcome : Centering Immigrants In Our Christian Response To Immigrat
$18.99Many American Christians have good intentions, working hard to welcome immigrants with hospitality and solidarity. But how can we do that in a way that empowers our immigrant neighbors rather than pushing them to the fringes of white dominant culture and keeping them as outsiders? That’s exactly the question Karen Gonzalez explores in Beyond Welcome.
A Guatemalan immigrant, Gonzalez draws from the Bible and her own experiences to examine why the traditional approach to immigration ministries and activism can be at best incomplete and at worst harmful. By advocating for putting immigrants in the center of the conversation, Gonzalez helps readers grow in discipleship and recognize themselves in their immigrant neighbors.
Accessible to any Christian who is called to serve immigrants, this book equips readers to take action to dismantle white supremacy and xenophobia in the church. They will emerge with new insight into our shared humanity and need for belonging and liberation.

Where Is God In This
$49.98Life is unfair. Bad things happen to good people. Not all dreams come true. We lose people. We fail people. And when we encounter the inevitable struggles of life, we may be tempted to ask God Why me? as we try to reconcile our pain with God’s promises. But a far more helpful and life-enriching question for us to ask God is What are you trying to teach me in this?
Tackling ten common struggles, such as isolation, fear, rejection, failure, insecurity, temptation, and more, Landra Young Hughes shows you how to have peace even when life doesn’t make sense. Speaking with great empathy born from her own losses and years in ministry, Hughes doesn’t suggest you “get over” your hard times. Instead, she helps you recognize that, while you will always live in a broken world this side of heaven, your pain has much to teach you about God and yourself. With her empathetic help, you’ll discover how to grow through grief and thrive despite adversity.

Hablar de lo eterno, sin caretas, sin disimulos, sin trampas, esa es la tarea a la que se entrega Lewis en este libro sustancioso. Y para ello utiliza muy distintos medios: una conferencia docta, un coloquio, un debate, una conversacion entre amigos, un articulo de prensa, una carta…

Alegoria Del Amor – (Spanish)
$21.99Esta obra, publicada originalmente en 1936, constituye uno de los trabajos academicos mas influyentes de C. S. Lewis en el campo de la literatura medieval. En ella se desarrolla un profundo estudio sobre la poesia amorosa alegorica de la Edad Media, cuyo origen se situa en los poemas de amor cortes de los trovadores del Languedoc desde el siglo XI, a traves de su transformacion y fin a finales del siglo XVI.
Esta poesia de los trovadores, que constituiria el primer modo de expresion del amor romantico, supuso tal cambio respecto de la literatura precedente que, como el propio Lewis seala, no dejo intocado rincon alguno en nuestra etica, nuestra imaginacion y nuestra vida diaria, erigiendo barreras infranqueables entre nosotros y el pasado clasico o el presente oriental. Comparado con esta revolucion, el Renacimiento es un simple remolino en la superficie de la literatura.
Resulta particularmente relevante dentro del presente ensayo el estudio que Lewis realiza de El libro de la rosa, obra cumbre del genero dentro de la literatura tardo medieval.
The Allegory of Love
This work, originally published in 1936, constitutes one of the most influential academic works of C.S. Lewis in the field of medieval literature. It develops an in-depth study of the allegorical love poetry of the Middle Ages, whose origins lie in the courtly love poems of the Languedoc troubadours in eleventh century, through its transformation and gradual demise at the end of the sixteenth century.
This poetry of the troubadours, which would constitute the first mode of expression of romantic love, supposed such a change with respect to the preceding literature that, as Lewis himself points out, it left no corner untouched in our ethics, our imagination and our lives. daily, erecting insurmountable barriers between us and the classical past or the Eastern present. Compared with this revolution, the Renaissance is a mere whirlpool on the surface of literature.
Lewis’s study of The Book of the Rose, the masterpiece of the genre within late medieval literature, is particularly relevant in this essay.

Holiness In A Restless World
$11.99The Bible is filled with stories of wandering, restlessness, dispersion, and coming home-stories in which the people of God are looking for a place to belong in God’s world even as they are also invited to welcome others into God’s household. These themes are familiar to Christians today because some of us feel like prodigals and wanderers, not quite at home in the place where we find ourselves, yet called to create home for the outsiders around us. In Holiness in a Restless World, Joshua R. Sweeden and Nell M. Becker Sweeden explore the ways that Christians can pursue a holy life that is grounded in restfulness. When rest is absent from our lives, we can become unsettled and develop shortsighted notions about the nature of a holy life, but the Sweedens present holy rest as the bedrock for faithful Christian engagement with the world.

Extravagant : Discovering A Life Of Dangerous Generosity
$17.99From the senior pastor of New Life Church, a revolutionary book that redefines the notion of extravagance by using the parable of the Good Samaritan to demonstrate how to live a truly compassionate and selfless life of giving freely without expecting anything in return.
We all know people in our lives who have “yes” faces. They are calm but energetic, present but still purposeful with their time. They are curious. They ask questions. They’re genuine in their desire to know about you-how you’re doing, what you’re up to, how you feel. Even with full lives of their own, they somehow still have the energy to inquire about others. These are extravagant people.
In Extravagant, Pastor Brady Boyd shows us that by constantly offering up our time, talents, and hearts we can live life more like these exceptional people. Drawing on the parable of the Good Samaritan, he encourages us to stop living a life driven by selfish desire and start building lasting relationships that will be spiritually fulfilling.
Discover how to begin this transformation by ceasing to be a passerby and become one who pauses in the course of daily life. By embracing the spirit of generosity, Pastor Boyd shows us that the path to a happier life is by living closer to God’s vision and building a community that will be there in times of need. Timely, thought-provoking, and inspiring, Boyd’s uplifting message of reclaiming your connections to others and being a good neighbor is just the remedy we need in today’s fractured culture and troubled times.

Justice Primer 3rd Edition
$22.43Christians should know that social justice internet mobs are a far cry from truly Biblical justice that accords with God’s law. But we don’t. Biblical justice requires multiple witnesses, matching stories, and objective facts considered by an appropriate authority.
A Justice Primer is written by two longtime pastors who have worked inside denominations, sessions, and institutions, and who have seen more than their share of controversy where people do not know what the rules are. A whispered conversation is not authoritative. An anonymous comment on a blog is not authoritative. A party of disgruntled church members who “feel abused” is not authoritative. Instead, the key to true justice is due process conducted by wise men who know how to weigh evidence.
God is justice, and it is because of His justice that Jesus went to the cross. Therefore, we must care about what justice is and how God says to pursue it.

Gift Grows In The Ghetto
$22.00In his classic essay Of Our Spiritual Strivings, W. E. B. Du Bois asks, how does it feel to be a problem? This question has become a means of diagnosing the lived experience of Black men, particularly in America’s most neglected and feared environment: the ghetto. What is often overlooked, however, is the vital role that spirituality has in remedying the problem. A Gift Grows in the Ghetto examines how not being in relationship with one’s gift can lead to feelings of despair, entrapment, and abandonment, all of which contribute to Black men feeling as though they are nothing more than a problem. By utilizing the biblical story of Ishmael’s miraculous survival, growth, and giftedness in the wilderness, the book encourages Black men to embrace a life of faith that is dependent on the God who always sees, nurtures, and is in relationship with us and our gifts in the wilderness and the ghetto.

Doing Nothing Is No Longer An Option
$19.99During a bus ride with a group of fellow college students, Jenny Booth Potter came to a life-changing realization.
She decided that racism in all its forms–in policies and systems, in organizations and churches, in neighborhoods and families-could no longer be tolerated. And even though Jenny didn’t know what to do about racism, she was certain of one thing: doing nothing is no longer an option. That declaration Jenny made to her peers was more than seven words uttered on a bus. It was a vow, a lifetime commitment to seek racial justice.
With candor and humility, Jenny shares her very imperfect but relentless journey of growing in awareness of racism, of reckoning with her own white privilege, and of learning how to be an antiracism advocate alongside her young family. If you’re anything like Jenny was on that bus–overwhelmed by the enormity of racism and compelled to do something, but uncertain if you can actually make any difference–then this book is for you. Join Jenny and see for yourself what everyday antiracism looks like.

Praying Like Monks Living Like Fools
$19.99An invitation to an ordinary yet radical way of life, using historic Christian practices as both inspiring vision and practical instruction for how to encounter the wondrous, mysterious, living God through prayer.
Prayer is the source of Jesus’s most astonishing miracles and the subject of Jesus’s most audacious promises, and yet, most people–even most Bible-believing Christians–find prayer to be boring, obligatory, disappointing, confusing, or, most often, all of the above.

In these pages, Tyler Staton–author, pastor, and National Director of the 24/7 Prayer movement–addresses common roadblocks to prayer and gives you the confidence to come to God just as you are.
Through biblical teaching, powerful storytelling, and insights on historic Christian practices, Staton helps you . . .
*Express your doubts and disappointments about prayer
*Discover and practice multiple postures of prayer, including silence, persistence, confession, and more
*Understand and embrace the wonder and mystery of prayer in everyday life
*Realize that prayer is a powerful invitation to partner with God in the redemption of a fallen world
*And, ultimately, open or reopen the line of communication with your Creator and experience afresh his divine power on earth

La unica forma de luchar contra esta atmosfera toxica de nuestro mundo actual es a traves del caracter.

Los valores del Reino son contagiosos. Pasalas.
Cultural instability. Family breakdown. Social media ranting. Unchecked narcissism. The only way to fight against this toxic atmosphere of our world today is through character.

But kingdom values aren’t just something we embrace to improve the world around us. They come with a benefit–a bonus. They come with blessings. By aligning your thoughts, words, and actions with God’s values, you will receive the peace, comfort, and purpose you’ve been looking for all along.Dr. Evans provides insights based on biblical virtues found in the Beatitudes as well as throughout the rest of Christ’s teachings.

Miracles By The Moment
$18.99Are you tapping into the miracles that God promised you?
This book will change my perspective of God to see that no matter what the enemy or the world throws at me, He has given me thousands of promises to overcome these obstacles.
For forty-five years, Larry and Tiz Huch have been teaching believers how to access the promises God has given in His Word. They have shared keys for activating, receiving, and releasing miracles, and taught principles of faith and prayer to help believers reach God’s great destiny for their lives.
But in the last three years, the Huchs have gained an even deeper revelation of how to overcome the enemy’s attacks and access God’s promises as they walked through two life-altering traumas–and two life-altering victories. Both Tiz Huch and the Huchs’ seven-month-old grandson, Lion, were diagnosed with aggressive forms of cancer and faced grim prognoses. But God had the last word!
In Miracles by the Moment, pastors Larry and Tiz Huch share their journey through one of the most challenging seasons of their lives and how they walked out, moment by moment, the foundational principles of prayer and faith they’ve lived by and taught for years. Drawing lessons from the Huchs’ journey as well as others who walked through different circumstances, this book offers hope and encouragement for those facing various types of challenges–in their families, marriages, finances, careers, or health.
Sometimes breakthrough comes in the form of one giant miracle. More often, it comes in the form of thousands of small miracles that add up to huge breakthroughs! We don’t have to beg God to help and bless us. He already has! This book will teach readers what God promises us and the steps they can take to enter into those promises.

Thrill Of Orthodoxy
$19.20Every generation faces the temptation to wander from orthodoxy–to seek out the jolt that comes with false teaching, and to drift with cultural currents.
And so every generation must be awakened again to the thrill of orthodoxy, and experience the astonishment that comes from stumbling afresh upon the electrifying paradoxes at the heart of the Christian faith.
In The Thrill of Orthodoxy, Trevin Wax turns the tables on those who believe Christian teaching is narrow and outdated. Returning to the church’s creeds, he explains what orthodoxy is and why we can have proper confidence in it, and lays out common ways we can stray from it. By showing how heresies are always actually narrower than orthodoxy–taking one aspect of the truth and wielding it as a weapon against others–Wax beckons us away from the broad road that ultimately proves bland and boring, and toward the straight and narrow path, where true adventure can be found.

Single Just Because
$18.99Why are you single?
Just because.
However we answer that question, what’s more important than why we are single is how we live as singles. Regardless of our relationship status, all of us are called to a life of vital discipleship. And walking with God can reshape singleness into a pilgrimage of transformation.
Pilgrim and podcaster Bridget Gee shares her singular journey of vibrant life in the kingdom of God. Her travels have become a personal pilgrimage of walking with God and others, experiencing spiritual formation in the ups and downs of literal mountains and valleys. She explores her longings and hopes in vulnerable narratives, navigating issues of identity, community, mental health, dating, sexuality, and more.
Gee invites us into a purposeful story of following Jesus in life not as we think it might be, but as it really is. The pilgrim journey takes us places we did not expect to become people we did not know we could be.

Join The Resistance
$19.99An awakening has been happening across our society.
People increasingly recognize how long-standing, systemic issues have prevented many from flourishing. But often Christians are not sure how best to engage. Does it help to march and hold signs? What can we do to contribute and not further complicate things?
Faith-rooted justice advocate and activist Michelle Ferrigno Warren equips Christians to join Christ’s restorative work in the world. In nearly three decades of experience, she left much of her privilege to work alongside the poor and marginalized in the restoration of individuals and communities, collaborating with community leaders, marching in streets, and meeting with and speaking truth to power. She says, How you show up is just as important as showing up. From the grassroots to the grass tops, Warren invites us to understand our place in this moment and learn from those who have gone before: the poets and prophets who call us to resist oppression and injustice.
Biblical, historical, and contemporary examples give us ways to walk in God’s righteousness, truth, and peace. We can better understand our shared solidarity, persevere in the midst of struggle, bring people along, and remain rooted in joy as we continue the good work of kingdom justice.

Wandering Toward God
$18.99Is it wrong to doubt? Many Christians assume that doubt is faith’s opposite and that wandering among the hard questions of faith will lead us further and further away from God. True believers, the assumption goes, never waver in their confidence in the fundamental truths of the Christian faith.
Professor and philosopher Travis Dickinson disagrees. Instead, he says, our doubts and hard questions about the faith are actually an important way we can express our commitment and love to God. Doubt isn’t our destination but it’s an important step on the way. It’s possible to wander toward God as we ask our questions honestly, in faith and trust. As we do, we’ll discover the truth, goodness, and beauty of God waiting for us.

Cultivating Mentors : Sharing Wisdom In Christian Higher Education
$26.99Many colleges and universities informally highlight the value of mentoring among academic professionals.
Yet scholars often lack clear definitions, goals, practices, and commitments that help them actually reap the benefits mentoring offers. As new faculty members from younger generations continue to face evolving challenges while also reshaping institutions, their ability to connect with more experienced mentors is critical to their vocations–and to the future of higher education.
In Cultivating Mentors, a distinguished group of contributors explores the practice of mentoring in Christian higher education. Drawing on traditional theological understandings of the mentee-mentor relationship, they consider what goals should define such relationships and what practices make their cultivation possible among educators. With special attention to generational dynamics, they discuss how mentoring can help institutions navigate generational faculty transitions and cultivate rising leaders. Contributors include:
*David Kinnaman
*Tim Clydesdale
*Margaret Diddams
*Edgardo Colon-Emeric
*Rebecca C. Hong
*Tim Elmore
*Beck A. Taylor
*Stacy A. HammonsThis book offers valuable insights and practical recommendations for faculty members, administrators, and policy makers. Whether pursuing their vocation in Christian or secular institutions, Christian scholars will benefit from the sharing of wisdom mapped out in Cultivating Mentors.

When Women Lead
$22.99Much of what men and women both think about women, gender differences, and cultural norms is remarkably under-processed. Without the benefit of intentional conversation about the barriers women face, most women are left to enter the world of leadership with inadequate awareness and resources. The acknowledgement of a woman’s right to leadership is only the first step. We have not yet addressed the very common barriers women face when they enter the leadership arena, nor have we explored practical solutions to help them navigate those barriers so they can lead effectively.
Women need to know that unrealistic optimism is a recipe for failure. Simply by acknowledging constraints to success, then exploring strategies to enhance leadership skills, we can help women take greater authority over their call to live out of a God-given identity and giftedness.
When Women Lead is for men and women who advocate for female leadership within the Church. When women are educated about the challenges they face and are given resources to navigate beyond those challenges, their opportunity for success in ministry increases dramatically. The purpose of this book is to describe those challenges, explore practical solutions, and equip women to lead successfully and hopefully.
While it is an excellent resource for women ready to enter leadership with more confidence and authority, it’s also perfect for denominational leaders charged with raising up women called to leadership roles, for lay leaders who want to better understand the dynamics at work when the pastor is a woman, and for husbands, parents, and friends who desperately want to support women in their life who are living out what God has given them to do.
What if the Kingdom of God is straining toward the day when all God’s people are deployed in the work of the Great Commission? Women are already leading powerful movements around the world. The evangelistic explosion being documented in many closed countries is largely due to the leadership of women. Missionaries tell of the critical role of women in introducing the gospel to new groups. This book can help to equip a new generation of women to rise up with tools in hand to welcome and advance God’s Kingdom on earth.

Triumph Of Beauty
$49.98This last year exposed the anger and fear of the world. It also exposed the trajectory of humankind away from God, against his Church, and into increasing darkness–with the darkest hours still ahead. But the Lord has an unexpected answer for the rise of ugliness and violence.
Here International House of Prayer leader David Sliker gives believers hope for the times to come. God’s merciful answer to the world’s rage is a beautiful, unified Church, one that counters anger with kindness and mercy, loves its enemies, and overcomes bitterness and offense. David also shows how we can lay hold of the Lord’s beauty via revelation and transformation. When we do, we will love like he loves. We will endure without despair. We will display his works. We will boldly, tenderly, and lovingly stand for his truth. And we will rise up as his Bride, whose beauty eclipses the darkness.

Se Retiran Todos Los Cargos To – (Spanish)
$19.95Tantos cargos, tan poco perdon. Tanto miedo, tan poca confianza. Tantas cadenas, tan poca libertad. Tanta culpa, tan grande condenacion. Tan grandes y gruesos tomos de la ley, tan pocas paginas que conceden perdones. Esta era mi realidad cotidiana mientras trabajaba en los tribunales como interprete juridico certificado. Tu entraras en los tribunales. Los relatos casi te haran sentir que estas presente en la audiencia.

En este tribunal, el perdon revierte los cargos. La confianza desecha todo temor. Todas las cadenas se desatan, porque la Palabra de absolucion rompe todos los grilletes: Tus pecados son perdonados es el hilo que enlaza todos los relatos de este devocional. La ley da paso al evangelio. Cada historia nos lleva desde los tribunales terrenales, donde mayormente escuchamos sentencia y condenas, hasta el trono celestial de la gracia. Aqui, el Juez del universo tiene solo una palabra: !Perdonado!. Pero como? En virtud de cual ley? O en virtud de quien? Veras la respuesta claramente expuesta en cada uno de los relatos de !Se retiran todos los cargos! Los pecadores perdonados se van totalmente libres ante esta asombrosa declaracion de gracia de parte del Juez del universo. Ante la Palabra de Dios, !desaparece toda culpa!

Help Is Here
$23.99God wants us to have the energizing strength of the Holy Spirit.

Stand In Confidence
$12.60Culture, church, and life have sold us narratives about who we’re supposed to be as women. If we play the part well, we gain love, acceptance, validation, and significance. When we don’t know which role to play from one day to the next, we sink in insecurity. We feel driven to people-please, downplay, settle, and perform. In all this, we accept less than the abundant life Jesus died to give us.
Amanda Pittman, founder of Confident Woman Co., explains how we can rewrite our damaging self-beliefs with the truth about our God-given identity by establishing the Four Components of Confidence:
*Clarity-Embrace our identity and define our design
*Connection-Connect with God and connect with others
*Competency-Develop our ability and expand our capacity
*Conviction-Know our responsibility and use our authorityWith a new perspective and focus, we will stand confidently upon the finished work of Jesus and live boldly in our Christ-given callings.

Heaven Rules : Take Courage. Take Comfort. Our God Is In Control.
$18.40Two words are sometimes all it takes to upset and overwhelm us.
Treatment options, work layoffs, election season, pandemic spikes, family trouble, car repairs. They take up so little room, just two little words, and yet they can fill the whole day, the whole house, our whole lives with anxiety and fear.
Heaven Rules is the two-word answer for every two-word worry. The promise we need for every wave of trouble, every assault on our peace of mind. Heaven’s rule is God’s rule: His rule over nations and nature. His rule over renegade viruses, cancer, and concerns about your marriage, your kids, your job, and everything else. The Bible says God is personally, purposefully involved in all that’s taking place here on earth. He’s reigning over each tear and scar and crisis and conflict. Heaven is ruling, always ruling. That doesn’t mean we won’t experience distress, but it does mean we can find a refuge by looking upward and letting His peace rule in our hearts.
Using the timeless book and example of Daniel as a guide, author Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth reveals how seeing our lives and world through the lens of Heaven’s rule can shield us from panic and give us renewed hope and perspective.
Job worries. Deadline pressures. Deep regrets. Culture wars. There will always be alarms screeching. But two simple words can quiet them, calm our fears, comfort our hearts, and give us courage to press on: Heaven Rules!

Jesus Followers : Real-life Lessons For Igniting Faith In The Next Generati
$17.99The daughter and granddaughter of Billy Graham offer a warm and inspiring glimpse into their family life, sharing stories that reveal spiritual wisdom and practical insight for raising the next generation of Jesus Followers.
In order to instill truth that leads to genuine faith, parents and grandparents must be intentional. Using the metaphor of a relay race, Anne Graham Lotz and her daughter, Rachel-Ruth Lotz Wright, demonstrate how the baton of faith is passed through our witness, our worship, our walk, and our work. Within the framework of Anne’s exploration of biblical characters from Genesis 5, Rachel-Ruth tells family stories that will encourage, inspire, and motivate Christians to follow hard after Jesus and to develop their children and grandchildren into Jesus Followers.
For example, Rachel-Ruth describes how her grandmother, Ruth Bell Graham, poignantly demonstrated the value of praise amid pain. She discusses her own challenges in parenting against the cultural trends and reveals the unforgettable way her own father taught her about God’s grace. With each chapter, Rachel-Ruth mines the family memory album for inspiring examples of how to live out our highest priorities in everyday situations.
While some stories are funny, some heart-wrenching, others awe-inspiring, each snapshot conveys a spiritual truth along with an application that will help you continue, or begin, building a legacy of authentic faith.
