Red Letter Revolution
$18.00Add to cartJesus came to start a movement not a religion.” Jesus came to start a revolutionary movement of love, not the stifling, compliantly docile religion that is far too prevalent in our world today. To Jesus, poverty, racism, economic disparity, violence, classism, sexism and all other forms of injustice and oppression cannot be tolerated in the revolutionary kingdom reign of God. The question that the “Red Letter Revolution” asks is this, “Are we willing to continue in the revolutionary path of Jesus and labour on behalf of the oppressed of our day, no matter what the personal cost? Or, will we ignore the cries of the poor or even worse, go the way of the religious institution and blindly walk our way through a world of need?” In “The Red Letter Revolution” the reader will be challenged to join Jesus’ radical movement by submitting his or her life to the words of Jesus written in red that are found in certain versions of the Bible. It dreams of a global movement in which “Red Letter Christians” gather together to worship Jesus, listen to his voice and do his works. And, it lays down a practical plan in which these “red letter” groups can impact their cities, nation and world especially in the lives of the poor and oppressed. Red Letter Christianity is God’s dream for every nation in our world. Are you up for the challenge to join the revolution in acting out the words of Jesus locally, nationally and globally? If you are then this book is for you.

Beautiful Disappointment : Discovering Who You Are Through The Trials Of Li
$19.95Add to cartThe many challenges life throws at us do not shape us. How we respond to these challenges does. In “The Beautiful Disappointment” urban youth worker and author, Colin McCartney, shares his personal struggles in dealing with the murder of one of his staff, the death of a child in his program and his own near death experience from a paralyzing water accident in Hawaii. While the author was recovering from this life threatening accident in the critical care unit of Maui Memorial Hospital he slowly realizes that trials are “beautiful disappointments” God can use to purge us off all the false things we have allowed to disfigure who we truly are. It is through this “refining by trials” that the author experiences the intimate presence of God, a presence in our soul that frees us to reconnect to who we truly are as God originally created us to be. A true story that will leave the reader truly changed.
